The graceful beauty of Arabic women is something that is admired greatly. Research also has shown that Arab females have the most healthy and youthful looking skin all around the world. Here are some beauty tips from Arabian women that will help you achieve a more beautiful you:

For optimal vitality and appearance, eat a nutritious diet

Most Arab women find that a healthy diet works best when it comes to looking and feeling great. Consume as little processed food as you can, opting instead for fresh produce. Food that you cook yourself is much more healthy for you than fast food, so whenever possible, schedule time to shop for fresh meat at the supermarket. This is how you can get the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients to keep yourself healthy.

Get some relaxation at a spa

Many Middle Eastern women enjoy visiting spas regularly to take advantage of skin revitalization treatments. A spa is a great place to relax and reduce stress. They primarily utilize masks and steam cleansing for their body, especially in the facial area. In addition, they are convinced of the advantages of Argan oil for healthy hair and skin. Argan oil is particularly found in Morocco and is very rich in natural tocopherols-Vitamin E- and phenols, phenolic acid, carotenes, squalene, and essential fatty acids that help promote younger skin, moisturize dry skin, and repair dry and damaged hair. Due to the usage of Argan oil the skin of the women looks much younger, healthier and fresher than most of their age.

Stay inside when the sun is shining bright

If you want to protect your skin and reduce the effects of aging, you will have to give your skin some TLC. Arabic females think that it’s best to remain inside during the heat of the day. Heat from the sun can damage your skin cells and speed up the aging process. Should you want to go tanning, swimming, or you need to go out during high noon, make sure you wear sunscreen to protect your face and your exposed body.

Keep your skin covered up to be more protected

Women from the middle east usually cover up with clothing or scarves to protect themselves. You should wear protective clothing to shield your skin from the sun’s rays, dust and other potential harmful irritants.

Choose only trusted makeup brands to protect your face

Don’t buy cheap products when you use makeup. You don’t have to only buy the priciest products, but you should avoid anything that is low quality. High quality makeup brands are the secret to keeping the faces of Arabian women, protected, youthful and beautiful.

Plastic surgery procedures are one option for improving or restoring appearance

Arab women put much effort in looking youthful and attractive whether it be in using natural cosmetics or surgery. Most surgeries like breast enlargements, liposuction and anti-aging are performed on women who are celebrities or wealthy.

Try to stay as natural as possible if you wish to look as lovely and youthful as the Arabic women. You can keep your skin clean and protected by eating natural foods and using natural oils as cosmetics. If you opt for something synthetic, make sure it is high quality or else you might damage your skin.

The idea of the beauty salon is not a new one. In fact, going back to ancient civilizations, we can see that hairstyles and the people who loved them have been setting fashion trends for thousands of years. Even though through the ages hairstyles, cuts, and trends have changed hundreds of times, there are some things that have remained constant through time, like women wearing long braids or wigs, men keeping hair clipped or shaved short, and even coloring hair is not a new, modern practice.

The ancient Egyptians would get their hair clipped very close to the head, especially in the upper classes, in order to don full, fancy wigs atop their heads for special occasions, public outings, and ceremonies. The womens wigs were adorned with gold and ivory trinkets, and were long and often braided. The beauty salons back then were where these wigs were ordered and made. Women in ancient Greece often had long hair, tightly pulled back. Even at this early time, women would dye their hair red and sprinkle gold powder on the hair, decorating their coiffures with tiaras and flowers. Men wore their hair short and often shaved, probably for comfort and convenience when putting on their gladiator helmets. Beauty salons during this time were inside palaces of the rich and noble, though there were also some on the streets for the commoners as well.

Ancient Rome for much of its time had been a society of copycats, where the norm was to follow the lead of the Greek fashions. Some Roman styles saw women dying their hair blond or wearing wigs made from the hair of slaves that had been captured. Beauty salons in Rome began to make hairstyles more ornate and elaborate, to the point that hair was often styled around wire frames that women wore on their heads. The upper classes were tended to by slave cosmetologists and there emerged many beauty salons and barber shops for different classes to frequent. In the Middle East, hair was traditionally hidden completely when out in public, although men would go to salon bathhouses and wash their long hair in a henna rinse, compliments of the local salon stylist.

Traditionally in China, young girls wore their hair in braids, which required the help of a friend or hair stylist, and womens hair was pulled back and wound around in a bun. Mens heads were traditionally shaved, except for part of the back of the head, which would grow long and stay braided. In Japan, the hairdresser of a Geisha certainly had her work cut out for her, styling the womens hair heavily with lacquer decorations in very large ornate styles.

During the 15th century, the time of the Renaissance saw one of the most painful hair trends ever to hit beauty salons. Women during this era would not only pluck their eyebrows, but would pluck the entire front hairline that ran across their head in order to make it look like they had higher foreheads! Obviously the old saying Beauty is Pain rang loud and clear to women back then, too. This crazy era was followed by women rushing to beauty salons for white face powder and red wigs, in order to keep up with the fashion trends that had been set by Queen Elizabeth with her super pale complexion and bright red hair.

Thus we have a very brief summary of some of the different hairstyles that beauty salons everywhere were called upon to create for customers. Whether it was a long braided wig in Ancient Egypt or a good old fashioned hairline plucking, hairstylists have always been sought after to give people what they want in hairstyles.
