“A beautiful woman is a happy woman!”, Say the inhabitants of Foggy Albion. Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, actress and model Elizabeth Hurley, star of "Titanic" Kate Winslet is always in public with radiant smiles. How do they manage to look so amazing? The national beauty secrets of British women are revealed by MedAboutMe.
Oatmeal for breakfast and more
A simple and unpretentious oatmeal breakfast is a valuable source of B vitamins and healthy fiber. A portion of porridge perfectly replenishes the body, relaxed after sleep, and gives a long-lasting feeling of satiety.
The world famous "English" face mask is also made from oatmeal. The latter instantly refreshes and tones the skin, leaving behind a feeling of tenderness. Oatmeal is diluted with natural cream to the desired consistency, the prepared mixture is applied to the face and washed off after 20 minutes. That's all - you can go out!
100 times in one direction
Like Russian women, English women have naturally thin hair, often lacking in volume. But is this a reason for grief? The old recipe for "thick hair" requires British women to comb their hair with a natural brush 100 times every night. After this procedure, the curls acquire a beautiful shine, become soft and obedient.
Our contemporaries support this effect with the help of all kinds of masks, moisturizing sprays and hair serums, which are especially numerous in the British niche of care cosmetics.
Only proven cosmetics
The first thing that Englishwomen pay attention to when choosing cosmetics is the composition of the product. Due to the unstable humid climate and frequent twists and turns of the weather, many women have reactive (sensitive) skin. Therefore, the composition of the products is chosen as simple as possible. The fewer the ingredients, the lower the risk of allergic reactions.
The price segment is often not taken into account when choosing cosmetics. If the tool has a low cost and at the same time works, why pay more? The English lady Kate Middleton, along with Couture cosmetics, uses Nivea Visage products.

Minimalism in makeup
Strobing, contouring, bright accents - all this is not typical of the inhabitants of England. In makeup, as well as in the selection of wardrobe items, the fair sex rely on naturalness. This is a palette of pure shades and restrained colors that adorn a woman, and do not change her beyond recognition.
Native English women use a minimum of cosmetics or refuse it altogether. The alluring Keira Knightley says that outside the set and the red carpet, she limits herself to mascara and lip balm. The makeup of her compatriots looks something like this: darkening of the upper eyelid or graphic arrows, a delicate blush on the cheeks and sensual lipstick.
But make-up removal is a special consideration. Clean skin is beautiful skin! Emma Watson removes makeup with a hot towel and lavender oil. “This kind of skin cleansing is not aggressive,” the actress admits.

Many women in the UK believe in the benefits and effectiveness of aromatherapy, while others are actively using natural oils for the beauty of skin and hair.

Professional care - no, you haven't heard
The services of stylists, beauticians and plastic surgeons in the UK are not cheap. It is for this reason that Englishwomen rarely include professional care in their spending plan.
