Review Of American Beauty

By Tracey Gallegos

Between all the different moralities, ethics, cultures, etc, women all over the world can come together with at least one thing, and that's beauty. American Beauty is a big deal to women, as well as beauty in other countries. Different countries have different standards with which the women have to live up to. I am going to run through some different techniques women do in our county and others in order to pamper themselves.

The richest, wealthiest country is, of course, the United States. Therefore, we have the money to pay for special supplies. Not all countries have this privilege. A few USA techniques are, get one cup of rose pedals, and boil them in water. For every cup of pedals, use two cups of boiling water. Strain the water, and refrigerate. Keep the strained water in the refrigerator between uses. Another idea is to use coconut oil as conditioner. This strengthens the hair, and provides a shining coat!

Woman in China have different reasoning behind being considered beautiful. Chinese woman believe that the whiter your skin is, the prettier you look. The explanation to this is the whiter the girl, the easier it would be for men to examine her body. If the skin were dark, it would be harder to spot imperfections that are not appealing to the opposite sex. Also, woman in China are not required to shave their armpits or legs.

Spaniard woman apply olive oil when using face and body masks. Before giving yourself a manicure or pedicure, dip your fingers or toes into a bowl of olive oil. This will soften your cuticles making it less difficult, and less painful to shape your nails as you please.

In England, tea bags are preserved for using them when necessary. This is a special technique to lessen eye irritation. So, when your eyes feel scratchy and irritated, place tea bags, (after regular use), on them for a couple of minutes to die down the inflammation.

Latin American woman use a specific fruit for nourishment to their hair. Take an avocado, split in half, remove the "soft part", and rub it into your hair/hairline. Allow it to sit in your hair for about an hour, then remove by rinsing with shampoo and conditioner. Also, Latin American women use avocado for body/facial masks.

Italian women use olive oil as a way to nourish their eyelashes. Olive oil is very commonly used when someone desires to "nourish" a part of their body. A basil leaf is also used in Italy. It is suppose to whiten your smile. Apply it to your teeth every night. A Polish tip for softening your lips is to use honey! This will not only freshen the look of your lips, but it taste's good, too!

There are many more techniques that I have not discussed, but now you have an idea of just how far a women will go to reach her goal(s). Some of these ideas might sound a little crazy, but don't knock until you have tried it! - 2361
