Revealed: 15 Top Beauty Tips from NFL Cheerleaders
For a professional cheerleader, it’s not just about the dress, or the hair, or the makeup, but about the feeling she gets from grooming herself into a more glamourous version than she typically sees in the mirror every morning.
Indeed, professional cheerleading is a glamorous sport. The photo shoots, bright lights, on-camera video opportunities, promotional appearances, and autograph signings will make you feel like a celebrity. Your role pushes and motivates you to uncover the most glamorous version of yourself and to put it out there for the world to see.
Ever wondered how NFL cheerleaders achieve the kind of grooming and appearance that turns heads? I gathered several beauty tips from rookie and veteran NFL cheerleaders from the Vikings, Falcons, and Patriots. Use their beauty secrets if you want to make the team this year or simply want to look your best.
1. Apply sunscreen on your bare skin, underneath your makeup for maximum protection. Colorescience is a great choice – it can be used daily and doesn’t contain harmful chemicals.
2. Make it a habit to remove makeup before you sleep. Sleeping in your makeup ages and dries up your skin.
3. Spray tan gives you an instantly healthy summer glow without actually exposing yourself to harmful UV rays. It’s a perfect confidence booster and convenient if you’re always in a hurry.
4. Red light therapy gives you amazing skin in many ways. It evens out your skin tone, reduces the appearance of stretch marks, and improves blood flow to your skin so you get a youthful appearance.
5. Washing your hair daily is not advisable if you have dry scalp. An alternative that keeps your hair fresh, smelling great and removes oils is Kevin Murphy’s Fresh Hair. It’s a dry shampoo – the best you could find.
6. Three things you should always wear even on rehearsal days: Mascara, foundation, and lipstick.
7. To make curls last throughout an entire performance, use a curling iron to wrap a portion of your hair. Pin the curled portion close to your scalp while it’s still hot. Right before your performance, uncurl and spray your hair.
8. A skin that’s properly hydrated looks young! One way to do that is to apply moisturizer. If you have oily skin, choose a lightweight moisturizer. If it’s dry, go for creams.
9. Wear a smile at all times. It makes you look more attractive and actually feel great inside.
10. Clean your face after your performance on game days. It’s the easiest way to remove extra oil from your pores to prevent breakouts. Organic facial wipes are convenient to carry because there’s no need to rinse.
11. Drink a gallon of water daily. It’s an all-natural way to remove toxins from your body and bring out a clearer skin. Not just that, more water boosts your metabolism so that you lose weight.
12. Beauty sleep is real. If you spend at least 7 hours in bed, you get beautiful eyes and a more vibrant complexion.
13. To radiate beauty outside, you need to start from within. Nourish your body with healthy foods and live an active lifestyle. You’ll thank yourself not just today but for many years to come.
14. Invest in whiter teeth and it’ll boost the beauty of your smile. Get professional teeth whitening, limit foods and drinks that stain teeth (coffee, chocolates), and use a straw when you drink colored beverages.
15. Wear eyelash extensions that look natural and feel light. They give you an instant eye lift especially if you lack sleep. Best of all, you save time in dealing with mascara and eyeliner.
