More than half of Canadians rank a great smile as the top attraction when meeting new people. Here's how to make your smile a star.
(NC) The New Year is the time for goal setting,
personal rejuvenation, and feeling your best. According to a study
conducted by Philips Sonicare a great smile is the feature 53 per cent
of Canadians find most attractive when they first meet someone. Beauty
expert Janine Falcon shares a few tips on spotlighting yours that will
help you sashay through the new year.
• Winter-proof your lips to keep them smile-ready.
Buff away dry patches with a washcloth dampened with hot water, then
immediately apply a buttery, squeeze-tube lip balm rather than a waxy
stick. An emollient formula such as Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm
SPF 25 blankets even cracked lips with a soothing layer of conditioning
protection.
• Keep teeth in top shape with a solid regimen that
includes brushing twice-daily, flossing before bed, and an antiseptic
mouthwash every day. Use a high-tech power toothbrush such as the
Philips Sonicare DiamondClean, which is clinically proven to deliver
whiter teeth in just one week.
• For those of us who forget to floss on a regular
basis, try the Sonicare AirFloss, which cleans between teeth with
micro-bursts of air and water. You can do your whole mouth in 30
seconds. Get your mouthwash step in at the same time by substituting it
for water in the reservoir.
• Women should wear bright lip
colour with a blue undertone to make teeth look their whitest. Try
long-wearing Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge #8 Iconic Red, a
universally-flattering shade.
• Stash a portable whitening pen in
your purse for stealth smile brightening. The Philips Zoom Whitening Pen
is ideal to quickly enhance your smile.
