Who Is The Beauty Tyrant

January 2nd, 2010



I’m the Beauty Tyrant, of course, a beauty buff in her late 20s.

How it all started?I became a beauty buff ever since I got my index finger nicked by my mom’s eye brow razor when I lovingly stroked it, thinking it was a soft eye brow brush. I was a very little girl then. I had seen her use the eye brow brush a million times and I swear I knew it was a brush instead of a razor. Innocence of a child, no? Back then, Mom had a treasure trove of pretty colors and makeup that I will secretly rummage and experiment, often with hillarious results.

So what’s different here? I’m basically a huge cheerleader for natural beauty except for my addiction for lipstick and lip gloss. Therefore, I’m always on a lookout for new skin care products and new tips and ways to enhance natural beauty and not too much weight on makeup-induced beauty. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prud. I do use makeup too, but I try best to keep it at a minimum, simply just to cover up some flaws and to enhance better features. Minimalism is beauty, that’s my mantra on beauty.

I chose to start Beauty Tyrant because as a woman, I have my insecurities about my looks and my body. Trust me, my insecurities are too many to list down. It can be very trying at times and frustrating, having the desire to be on par with the perception of beauty but at the same time don’t really have a clue where or how to start on the quest for beauty. I understand that there are also many women out there who may face the same trials and tribulations as myself in a world where beauty takes centre stage. Hey, even the most beautiful woman has her insecurities one way or another. Here, I hope to offer some very honest opinions and tips that I myself practice which I really think are useful and beneficial.

Beauty Tyrant says, “Beauty is YOUR Forte. Look around you, there is beauty everywhere but true beauty comes from within you.”

Sea Salt For Beauty and Slimming

December 13th, 2009



Sea salt, although is widely used in cosmetic, gourmet and as bath salts, you would probably be amazed that it has also found its way into beauty products.

Actually, it’s not surprising if it does.

Sea salt, unlike table salt which we normally use for cooking, is obtained by evaporating sea water.

Since it’s extracted naturally, it has tremendous benefits on your skin. Therefore, it is now been used as a beauty agent as well.

Now, how does sea salt works on your skin?

As An Antiseptic

Firstly, sea salt can act as an antiseptic. It kills germs very effectively.

Thus, if you have wound, applying it helps your wound heal much faster.

Wait a minute!

Adding salt to the wound?

Yes, it maybe a little bit painful at first, but the fact is – your wound will heal faster, and it will leave no wound marks.

So, what bad is there to add salt to the wound, right?

High Mineral Content And Multiple Functions…

Secondly, sea salt contains high concentration of potassium, sodium, chlorine, magnesium and 92 other essential minerals.

These minerals help increasing your metabolism rate, cleanse your skin deeply, and act as anti-inflammation and antiseptic agents.

Proksch E, Nissen HP, Bremgartner M, and Urquhart C from the University of Kiel’s Department of Dermatology in Germany have examined volunteers who bathed in the sea salt solution and found them to have improved skin barrier function and reduced skin roughness and inflammation.

Therefore, they concluded that there is positive benefits of bathing in the sea salt solution mainly due to its high magnesium content.

As such, using it for your skin is likely to make your skin healthier, smoother and reduce inflammation.

It helps to reduce the size of the skin pores; removes oily skin, pigmentation, dead skins by boosting the function of your sweat glands and sebaceous glands.

These two gland systems function to help you remove aged and dead skins from your body, enabling the new skin to surface and breathe.

Imagine to show the world your new skin at anytime you want to…

Removes Fat Effectively!

Thirdly sea salt is known to also remove fat!

Although much researches are still needed to prove this, we have tested applying it in tummy areas; areas underneath the arm; hip areas etc, and found that it does help to inch down the size in matter of days.

This is not a surprise, since applying it on your skin also increases your metabolism rate. Increased metabolism rate means more fat will be burn in the process.

On top of that, sea salt has similar molecular structure as our blood cells, and when it is applied on your skin, it will be easily absorbed into the blood system and lymph through the skin.

It will then help to remove old cells, toxic and fat from the blood system and lymph, which leads to beauty effect as well.

For Beauty And Slimming

This may be new, but it is proven to have great benefits on your skin and slimming.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that you include sea salt blend in your beauty product collection. More so if you want to throw off some of those excessive fat from your body.
