Nothing leaves your skin looking more flawless than a papaya mask. Here’s how to do it: rub the inner part of the skin of a papaya on your face. Allow it to dry.

How do moisturize your skin with almond oil? Use sweet almond oil on your face for taking off your make-up or as a moisturizer. Try making your own almond face scrub.

Frequent blow drying or flat iron addiction can cause heat damage over time that can ruin the look of even the best haircut. This may be the most destructive hair-styling habit. It is what drives the professional finish, [but] you need to default to a heat protecting product. Hair care beauty tip: Use the right amount of a heat protectant, and it will appear to steam off under the flat iron. It looks like an alarming effect, but it’s the correct one. – Madeline Vann

 When 62-year-old Beverly Johnson does it? We take copious notes.

As one of the original 1970s supermodels, Johnson cemented her place in the fashion hall of fame by becoming the first African-American model to appear on the cover ofVogue in 1974, and then made history again as the first black woman to front ElleFrance the following year. Oh, and the New York Times named this beauty one of the most influential people in the industry.

Now—with over 500 magazines covers to her credit—Johnson’s documenting what life’s like as one of the fashion’s biggest game-changers with a new book, The Face That Changed It All: A Memoir, which hits bookstores today.

For a few months now, the talk around the town has been that orange blush is a very commonly over-looked beauty must-have for women of color. More specifically, women with darker skin have been questioning the idea of orange blush being the go-to for a flushed, sun glowing look.

It’s true that orange blush is a very easy way for women with darker complexions to add a very pretty, warming glow to their skin. But in all honesty, orange blush looks good on allbrown women. You just have to find your right shade of the color.

So, if this has been the case, why have us Brown girls passed by the hue for so long? Most likely from lack of knowledge and fear of the bright color. Let’s be honest: regardless of how pretty it looks packaged and presented to us in stores, orange blush is kind of intimidating.

Always remember this rule of thumb: most of the time, bright eye shadows and blushes look amazing on darker skin because of the balance it creates. Don’t be afraid to try these colors, and don’t shy away just because it looks “too bright” in the packaging. What you see packaged, especially when it comes to shadows and blushes, will 9 times out of 10 never look that way on your skin tone. This is why beauty brick and mortars like Sephora let you try the products out before purchasing, and also have flexible return policies.

Here’s a list of the best orange blushes for brown skin.
