Dry Skin Care




Dry Skin:

Dry skin needs extra care, as it is prone to fine lines and wrinkles. This is especially true during the winter months when it feels even drier and may feel too taut or may even flake. A few measures help alleviate dryness and keep your skin supple and, at the same time, guard against premature aging.

1.Always wash your face with a mild, soap-free face wash. Never use soap, as that would further strip your skin of natural oil.

2.Always use a moisturizer during the day. Use upward, circular motion to lightly massage the moisturizer into your face. Make sure not to pull or tug your skin.

3.You should consider using a night cream before going to bed at night. It is advisable to use a cream that contains Alpha Hydroxy Acids(or AHA’s, as they’re commonly known).AHA’s are derived from sources such as milk, fruit and sugar-cane. These acids gently exfoliate the dry, dead, outermost layers of skin while they moisturize the newly revealed layers. They greatly benefit complexions that look dull, dry or flaky and they give your skin a beautiful glow.


Home Remedies For Dry Skin

1.Add 1/2 tsp of rose water to 1 tsp of honey and gently apply to the face. Leave it for about 15-20 minutes, and then wash off with tepid water. Honey moisturizes and soothes dry skin, and is gentle enough for daily use.

2.Massaging you face regularly with almond oil or olive oil works wonders for dry skin.

3.Take 1/4 of an apple. Peel off the skin and grate. Cool in the refrigerator. Apply it on the skin and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash off with cool water. Apple helps soothe dry skin and gives it a pleasant glow.

Simple hair care tips




HAIR MAINTENANCE
There are a few things you can do on a regular basis that will improve the overall health and appearance of your hair, as well as a few things you can avoid. In general, here’s a few standards:

Brush your hair: Yep, the good old fashioned hundred strokes. This stimulates blood supply to the scalp, removes dead skin cells from the scalp before they can get infected, and distributes sebum over the hair shaft for moisturizing and protection. Bend over from the waist and hang limply while doing some of the brushing. Use a natural bristle brush or other gentle brush. Be careful and don’t hurry. Better to go slow and only get 30 strokes in, than go fast and risk breaking or pulling out your hair. Get into the habit of brushing your hair thoroughly before washing it.


Massage your scalp: Before you stop to groom and brush your hair during the day, make a point of doing a quick scalp massage first. Slip your fingers into your hair, and using just the pads of your fingers, massage in small circular motions over your scalp. Using your finger pads will keep you from breaking your hair, scratching your scalp and messing up your style too much. Then restyle, re-spray (if you use it) and go…


Break Day: Get into the habit of giving your hair a break once a week. It is not necessary to wash your hair every day (unless you are a teenager, have a dirty job or work up a real sweat every day). If you are over the age of 20, and do not have any rashes or infections (like dandruff), give your hair a break for a whole day. Pick a day where you normally do not go out, or just do housework and run errands. Do not wash with shampoo and do not heat style. If you just feel too grubby and must do something, after brushing your hair thoroughly to distribute the sebum, simply wet your hair, apply a little daily conditioner to the ends, rinse well, and then pull back into a “wet look” ponytail or bun. Give your hair a break from shampooing once a week, and whenever possible, from blow-drying and heat styling.


Conditioning Treatment: Unless you have very fine, limp hair, get into the habit of applying a deep conditioning treatment to your hair once a week. Deep conditioners are not the same as daily conditioners, and homemade preparations work really well. Coconut oil is especially good for hair conditioning. Brush your hair, wash it lightly, and then towel dry. Apply your deep conditioner and then wrap your head in a heated towel to open the hair cuticle and allow the conditioner to soak in. Leave for 10 minutes to half and hour. Then rinse thoroughly in warm water to remove the conditioner residue that remains, then cool water to close the hair cuticle. Rinsing your hair in cool water can be a little uncomfortable, but it can do amazing things for the appearance of your hair. It closes the hair cuticle close to the shaft, which increases shine and manageability, and helps to keep hair strong. A mixture of cool water and lemon juice is even better for shine and strength (a half of a teaspoon of lemon juice in two quarts of cool water is sufficient).


Daily Conditioner: Get into the habit of applying a daily conditioner to hair ends every time you shampoo. This will reduce slit ends, discoloration when coloring, damage when heat styling and reduce the need for frequent trims. Use a product designed for thermal styling if you frequently blow-dry, use a curling iron or hot rollers.


Haircuts: Get into the habit of getting your hair trimmed when it needs to be. Again, this reduces split ends and keeps excess weight off your hair (which can cause breakage). About once every 8 weeks is right for shoulder length or longer hair, once every 6 weeks for shorter styles.


Up-Dos: Yep, that’s right – if you have long hair and want to keep it that way – put your hair up when possible. I’m not suggesting you look like an librarian every day, but one of the reasons that women grew such long beautiful hair back in the “old days” is because they wore it up all the time. The weight of your hair can stimulate the start of the telogen phase. When hair is weighed down and very long, it stops growing and falls out, or simply breaks off. Putting your hair up frequently will keep that weight off the root of the hair. You can pin it up gently with bobby pins or a banana clip when running errands, doing housework, cooking dinner, doing yard work, messing around on your computer, watching TV, etc. Now, this depends on your hair style and hair length. If you have a short hairstyle, this step is not only unnecessary – it’s impossible. However, if you have shoulder length or longer hair, and want it to be as thick and healthy looking as possible, make it a point to put it up and keep the weight off your scalp. The other upside is that it will help keep the hair out of dinner.


How to Wash Your Hair

Believe it or not, there is a right way to wash your hair. Treat it like the finest silk! If you’ve ever made the mistake of running a pair of expensive silk hose through your washing machine, you’ll know what I mean.


Here a few tips for avoid causing any excess damage to your hair while washing it:

Let your hair hang naturally when you wash it; either standing in the shower or with your head leaning over the bath, or in a shampoo sink. NEVER – NEVER – NEVER – pile it up on your head to wash.

Wet your hair with warm water (not hot) to prepare it for shampooing. Keep the pressure on the showerhead gentle enough to avoid excess water pressure on your hair. Pour shampoo into the palm of your hand. Work the shampoo into a lather in your hand, and apply to your scalp. Work the shampoo into your scalp all over your head by massaging with your fingertips (not your fingernails). Move fingers from one area of your head to the other by lifting the fingers and then placing them elsewhere on your head. Do NOT drag them through your hair. Remember, hair is the most vulnerable to damage and breakage when it is wet. If your hair is particularly dirty or oily, you can work the shampoo through to the ends. If your hair is very dry or processed, you may just want to wash your scalp, and let the shampoo pick up any dirt or oil on the ends as it’s rinsed out.

Rinse hair thoroughly with lukewarm water. Ensure that you allow it to hang naturally. You may spread it out gently with your fingertips if it’s long and needs extra help getting out the shampoo.

If you chose to use a rinse-out conditioner, this is the time. Unlike shampooing, apply conditioners to the ends of your hair, and if your hair is generally dry, apply the remainder on your hands gently to the roots. Repeat the rinse.

Towel dry gently. The new hair towel wraps are excellent, keep hair in place and aren’t heavy like a towel wrap so there’s less risk of breakage to your hair.

Once hair is towel-dried you can apply a leave-in conditioner.

ALWAYS comb wet hair with a wide-tooth comb- NEVER brush wet hair.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER sleep on wet hair – it is vulnerable when wet, and can break easily as you turn on your pillow. Even if it doesn’t break, it roughs up the cuticle and makes it look dull.

Creating  Beautiful Hair Mistakes To Avoid

Beautiful hair is a thing that many people crave but few know how to achieve. In fact it is not a complicated matter. When creating beautiful hair you will need to understand the common blunders that most people make.

Not conditioning your hair: One of the most common mistakes that people make is neglecting to use conditioner every time you wash your hair. When you do not do this your hair will be prone to split ends. Also it will be frizzier and get tangled easier.


Wrong  style: Many people do not fully understand the shape of their face when they style their hair. There are many different shapes of faces. Some have round faces others heart shaped and still more have angular shaped faces. As you age your face will go through subtle changes in shape. Resist the temptation to try every new trend when it is not suitable to your face.


Choice of products: Be very careful about what products you select for your hair. Your hair is a delicate thing and using the wrong products on it can be very detrimental to your look. Hair has different types; oily, dry or normal. You should adapt your shampoo and conditioner to suit your own hair type. Try to use natural products like coconut oil rather than ones with many chemicals.


Dark roots: If you want to be a shade more blonde than you really are, do not let those dark roots show. Touch them up at home, if possible, or go to your favorite salon. Nothing makes a beautiful blonde tackier than dark roots showing through.


Braiding and tying your hair: try not to braid or tie your hair too tight. This will pull your roots and weaken your hair. It can even lead to your hair falling out.


Brushing your hair: Never pull at your hair when you brush it and get tangles. Gently try to loosen up the tangle before you brush it. Do not rush when brushing hair, take your time and give it slow firm strokes. This will spread the sebum evenly within your hair, help blood flow to the scalp and of course get rid of loose skin and debris from your hair.


Be careful of color products: using cheap ones can damage your hair and even cause it to fall out. Always consult your hairdresser as to which color product is best for your hair. When using a new product you should test it on a lock of hair first. Sometimes the color is not quite what you expected. Remember to match the color to your particular skin tone and color. Not everyone looks good blonde or a vibrant red.


It is not wise to cut your own hair: If you want a short style try to have patience and make an appointment with your stylist. Unless you are expert it is very hard to style your hair and even trimming can be a little tricky.

With these points you will be able to take care of your most beautiful asset, your hair. When you take care of your hair you will be ensuring that you will look your best for many years to come.

Nail Care Tips

People should also ensure that their nails stay as healthy as possible. Having these said, everyone must be aware that nail care is one thing that people must take seriously in their lives.

A lot of people are guilty of nail biting. This is one bad habit that can make your nails look ugly. When you bite your nails, you destroy the shape of your nails. The next time that your nails grow, these will become uneven and shorter. There is a high risk of bacterial transfer from your mouth to the nails. This is the easiest way to destroy your nails. Once attacked by bacteria, you are at risk for infections.

If you really want to grow nails, there are nail strengtheners available. There are products containing proteins such ad collagen and proteins which are hydrolyzed. These will form a covering on your nails that will lock in moisture. Even if you grow your nails long, you can be confident that your nails will not break or be damaged.

Moisturizing the nails is an important step that you should never forget. The application of moisturizers are hand creams contribute to strengthening of the nails. Make sure that you have products containing vitamin E and collagen which are effective moisturizers. Prevent breaking of nails when you apply moisturizers on the nails.

People overlook filing their nails. You must be aware that there is a right way of filing the nails. Always file your nails in one direction only. If you file back and front, you are only causing more damage on the nails. Take the right way of filing nails if you want the best nail care.

Shiny nails look more beautiful especially for women. Besides from using nails polish, you can also use a nail buffer. It also gives the same effect minus the danger for your nails. All that you have to do is to rub the buffer with moderate pressure. Ridges and imperfections on your nails are removed. You get more presentable nails.

The constant application of nail polish often leads to yellowing of nails. If you notice it, yellow nails are not pleasant to the eyes. The best way to whiten your nails is by simply using lemon and baking soda. Take a tablespoon each of lemon juice and baking soda and form it to a paste. Apply this on the fingernails and rub it in. Leave it on the nails for 10 minutes before washing. This nail care regimen must be done 3x a week to ensure whitening of nails.

Eye Make up for Elegant Eyes




If there is anything that can get you an instant face lift and enhance your appearance in just one minute, it has to be eye make up. Making up your eyes can pep up your face even if you are bereft of any make up otherwise.

This is perhaps the best kept secret in the beauty world or maybe it’s the beloved trick of all women folk. Eyeliner can define your eyes and makes them more pronounced, while mascara gets you lush eyelashes that look dramatic against the face. A handy eye liner and mascara is found in almost every woman’s pocket no matter how bereft they are from make up kits.

Most mascara come in a tube that has a brush within its tube. But nowadays, there are many variants coming up. Some have lengthened brush bristles while others have bristles made of finer materials. The Jan Marini Intervention Mascara is on of the hot picks of the season. It has conditioning agents that gets you natural looking eyelashes that are not only dark and long but are also conditioned to prevent any dryness or breakage. Moreover, it is smudge-proof so that you can afford to be a little careless with it on. Just sweep the brush from base to the tip of your eyelashes and get an evenly coated spread.

In addition to eyeliners and mascara, there are plenty of other things that you need to take care of for fresh looking eyes. You should use eyelash conditioners to soften the eyelashes and make them appear longer, thicker and fuller. RevitaLash eye conditioner is the best. Also, to keep the eye area healthy and wrinkle free, you can try using Neo Cutis Lumiere Bio-restorative Eye Cream with PSP that soothes the aged and stressed skin around your eyes.

Here are some make up tips that will enhance your eyes:

For Deep Set Eyes
Shape your eyebrows in an arc shape and color them accordingly. Dab your eyelids with light shades and add a touch of highlighter above the crease line. Use black eyeliner to define the line of eyelids and apply loads of mascara to top it.


For Wide Set Eyes
Shape your eyebrows but keep them thick and long. Color them so that they look closer. Blend your eye shades such that it appears dark towards the inner corner of the eye lid and fades towards the outer corner. Apply mascara such that eyelashes are darker inside and lighter towards the outside.


For Close Set Eyes
Shape your eyebrows such that they stand apart. The use of eye shades should be just the opposite of that of wide set eyes. That is to say, a lighter shade be used in the inner corer and darkened towards the outsides. Use dark eyeliner and apply two coats of mascara both inside and outside.


For Glasses-Wearers
Glass wearers should be all the more concerned about how their eyes look because that’s the even more prominent than otherwise. Select a glass shape that goes well with the shape of your face and shade your eyes with dark colors. Apply diligent coats of mascara.

Stop Nail Biting




There are a number of good reasons why you should Stop Nail Biting.

First off your fingers are literally crawling with bacteria. So when you put your fingers to your mouth you are ingesting harmful bacteria which can lead to illness or gum disease. Similarly biting your nails can lead to infections. Then there’s the negative social aspect of nail biting. Biting your nails in public is seen as uncouth, and it leads to ugly, jagged finger nails and red raw fingers.

Make Up Basic Tips

Following a few basic tips can help you camouflage certain skin imperfections and enhance your natural beauty.

• If you have large eyes, do not use bright colours that will over-emphasise their fullness.

• If your eyes are deep-set, use shadow colours that are on the light side of the colour spectrum.

• Be careful with shimmery products, especially on your eyes since they tend to collect in creases.

• Always use less mascara on your lower lashes.

• Don’t pump your mascara wand into the mascara container. This pushes air in the container and makes the mascara dry out faster.

• Gently insert the wand, turn two or three times, then remove and apply to lashes.

• If your mascara thickens when it reaches the end of the tube, place the tube in warm water. That will make the mascara thinner.

• If you have dark circles or bags under the eyes, uneven skin tone or wrinkled skin, these problems will become more obvious if you apply mascara to the bottom lashes.

• Concealer does not have to be worn with any makeup or powder. Sometimes all you need is a little concealer and something on your lips.

• Your concealer should be the same shade as your skin and you should apply it as sparingly as possible.

• If you are thinking of lightening your brows, try coloured mascara first to see what they would look like.

• If you want your eyebrows to stay in place, put clear mascara on them or a little hairspray on an eyebrow groomer and brush to desired shape.

• Always shake your foundation before applying.

• For a light or sheer look, dampen sponge before applying foundation.

• If you have sallow skin, pick a foundation that disappears on your face.

• Before applying powder make sure there are no lines or creases on your skin. Once you powder, it will stay put.

• If your face is moist, blot it gently with a tissue first, otherwise the powder will clump.

• Put a light layer of powder under the eyes before applying eye shadow.

• The thinner your lips, the more neutral your lip colour should be.
