Looking Naturally Beautiful in Middle School

Apart from the psychological effect entering middle school has on you, your body also undergoes a lot of changes. A lot of you may suddenly face acne outbursts, stretch marks on your arms if you happen to shoot up suddenly, and some of you may also start losing all that puppy fat you may have had. Being prepared for these changes will help you cope a little better. If you think you are ready, here are some great beauty tips for teenagers that will keep you looking naturally beautiful.

Pay Attention to your Skin
You have to take care of your skin because it is at a very tender stage. You must give it some daily nourishment with natural products so that you can use as less makeup as possible to look gorgeous. Try these methods to keep that skin glowing:

• Give your body a light olive oil massage daily. No, there’s no need to go ‘ew!’ or ‘gross!’ The idea is to keep your skin moisturized and elastic so that you are less prone to developing any blemishes or stretch marks as your body changes. You will have a beautiful body that you will love as you slowly blossom into a beautiful girl.
• If you have acne, make an effort to apply some aloe vera gel on your face daily. Not only does it help reduce those terrifying outbursts, it works as a natural sun protector. This means you will not develop as many freckles as you would have if you didn’t take care.
• At least twice a week, make a paste of 2 tablespoons gram flour, 1 tablespoon plain yogurt, and a few drops of lemon, and apply it on your face in the manner of a scrub. Allow it to remain for about 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with cold water. It reduces the growth of facial hair and keeps your skin clean and glowing. If possible, scrub your body with it at least once a week. Again, the growth of hair on the rest of your body will slowly reduce.

Don't Forget Your Hair
The sooner you start taking care of your hair, the more manageable it will be later on. Again, you don't have to resort to expensive chemically loaded products to keep your hair shining. Simple homemade hair care products will do the trick for you.

• Oil your hair with olive oil at least twice a week, and leave it on for a minimum of half an hour before you shower. Massage your scalp thoroughly, and coat your hair lightly with oil from root to tip. Wash it off with a mild shampoo. It keeps the scalp clean and the hair free of split ends or dryness.
• Those of you who have oily hair should use a mild shampoo without any heavy chemicals, and follow up the wash with a rinse of the juice of one lemon diluted with one cup of water. This will keep your hair looking soft and beautiful. Use the lemon rinse twice a week. Don't overdo it as lemon has bleaching properties and can lighten the color of your hair.
• Don't keep brushing your hair. If you are prone to having an oily scalp, your hair will look flat after brushing it. If you have dry hair, it will become more frizzy if you keep brushing it.
