Beauty Secrets from Around the World

It is always fun to have a girls’ night in and share hair and makeup tips with your close friends. There is simply no better way to learn what has and hasn’t worked for them in the beauty department.

Ever wonder why those Brazilian Victoria’s Secret models have the best hair? Or how come every girl in France looks so effortlessly chic? FabFitFun rounded up the best international beauty tips. Check them out below and wander no more!

France: Less is more. You would be hard pressed to find a Parisian woman walking around with a thick mask of makeup. French women have impeccable skin care routines, and wearing minimal makeup shows off that beautiful skin.

Japan: Eat for beautiful skin. Japanese women eat lots of seaweed, which is rich in various minerals, iodine, and zinc. This keeps their skin glowing from the inside out. Like we needed an excuse for sushi night.

Russia: Slap your face. Russian women often apply moisturizer by slapping it on their face. Supposedly it helps to tighten and invigorate the skin which makes it glow. Please don’t give yourself any black eyes — just light love taps are all you need to get that blood flowing.

Australia: Religious with sunscreen. With fabulous beaches at their fingertips, Aussie women know the importance of protecting their skin. Prevention is key, so they take care to use sunscreen to prevent wrinkles, sun spots, and most importantly, skin cancer.

Italy: Natural is better. Many Italians use natural food products in their beauty routine as well as the kitchen. Olive oil, yogurt, and lemons are just some of the amazing ingredients that can help keep your skin clear, toned, and moisturized.

Brazil: Avocado hair mask. Brazilian beauties know the power of natural ingredients, especially a super food like avocados. For an intense hair moisturizer, they mash up an avocado and apply it directly to their hair. Leave on for as little as 10 minutes or for some deep moisture, a few hours!
