| - | How to find your inner beauty?Tips for women | The modern woman is no longer a person who is guided only by what the world thinks of her. She is, on the other hand, more self-assured and wants to live her life on her own terms. In fact, among the most surprising statistics from a recent study by Allure magazine is that enhancing their appearance fuels women's confidence, not their insecurity. And, 81% of women say that being good at their jobs and maintaining close ties with family boosts their self-esteem much more than having a rich romantic life. | | | | | Editor-in-Chief Linda Wells says that "Recently, beauty was thought to fill women with a sense of inadequacy that kept them from realizing their full potential. Our study found that women are no longer chasing an idealized or impossible beauty. The majority of the women we polled describe themselves as 'natural' -- a word that implies true self-acceptance. The good news in these numbers belies many of our perceived notions about appearance." | And this is reflected in the personal care products that women buy today. Today's woman is confident, smarter and savvier. With $5.9 billion spent annually on research and development in order to create tailor-made products, the beauty industry pays more attention than ever to specialty and natural products that satisfy the attitude of the consumer. In the same study the researchers found that: - 70% of women don't mind paying more for a product they like.
- Women spend an average of $1,600 annually on beauty products and services.

| | What does it mean for you? - Be who you are. Be guided by your inner soul rather than blindly following trends and fads.
- Choose products (makeup, personal care, apparel, etc.) and lifestyle on what gives you inner joy. There is no point in just keeping up with the Joneses.
- Feel the confidence within. While you can fake it for a while (and it is OK to do so for a while), unless you feel confident in your own skin, it will not give you long-term happiness.
