Lips care
July 6th, 2008Beautiful Skin - Naturally!
May 11th, 2008When meeting someone new, most people take notice of the person’s face first. For this and other reasons, maintaining clean, healthy skin is paramount to self-esteem, confidence and even attitude.
Getting healthier skin is not contingent upon high-cost prescription medications or obsessive skin care routines. Modifying your daily routine a tiny bit and upholding disciplined cleansing habits can help to add flawless skin to the list of your best qualities.
Eat healthier
By avoiding foods that often make your face breakout, your skin will be less oily and more resistant to blemishes. Some problem foods that may cause pimples or breakouts include chocolate and other candy, French fries, fast food, pizza and soft drinks.
To get your skin in better shape, you may not have to give up everything that has negative effects on your skin, but rather, eat those things in moderation. Have greasier foods as a special treat or on rare occasion when eating a healthy, balanced meal is out of the question.
Hydrate and exercise
Drinking the recommended eight glasses of water per day coupled with some regular exercise - walking, running, bicycling, engaging in sports - should have a great impact on one’s complexion. Increased blood flow due to aerobic exercise will positively impact one’s complexion with a glowing look to replace dull skin.
Not only will exercise and drinking water help skin tone and texture, but it will also make you feel more energized and great about yourself. By keeping your body in shape, you will feel less stressed and more capable of achieving those things you set out to do.
<p>Monitor sun exposure
By using a moderate strength sunscreen, you will be protecting your skin from sun damage, skin cancer, aging and premature wrinkles. Too much sun can blister one’s lips, leaving them red, sore and charred. Sunburned skin will eventually peel most times, leaving skin areas blotchy and sensitive. The best approach to preventing sunburn and other sun-caused skin problems is to monitor how much time one spends in the sun and to avoid sun exposure by using sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater.
Practice a regular cleansing routine
Cleanse, exfoliate, tone and moisturize…this daily routine should carry you on your way toward healthier skin. Select a gentle skin cleansing solution that works for your specific type of skin - dry, oily, normal. Using your selected product, cleanse face in a circular motion and rinse with lukewarm water, as hot water zaps skin’s moisture.
Follow the cleansing stage with an exfoliant. A granular product is often especially effective in smoothing rough areas and releasing dead skin cells, allowing the face to be better moisturized.
After the exfoliation process concludes, use a toner or an astringent to tighten skin and remove any makeup or cleanser residue. A nice alternative to a toner or astringent would be doing a facial masque at least once a week, which tackles clogged pores while also firming skin and leaving it soft and silky.
Finally, pat skin dry with a soft towel but do not dry up all the water. Apply a moisturizer (with or without sunscreen) to help protect skin from dryness. Those who have oily skin do not have to moisturize as often as those who have dry, normal or combination skin.

In the morning prefer to take your bath under the shower.Cold water closes the skin pores and helps you shake off early morning laziness.
While the tap is on, undress and tuck your hair away form your face and neck. Remove face make-up if any, with a cleansing lotion.
Blow your nose and clean the nostril with a damp absorbent cotton or tissue paper.
Get into the bath tub and relax completely for a few minutes.
Apply soap to the upper part of your body. Rub every part except your breasts with the friction mitt.
Pay special attention to your neck and clean it with the friction mitt.
Give circulation to your arms, elbows and shoulders too and use the friction mitt on legs, heels and ankles.
Use a bath brush to give the back of your body a thorough scrub and prevent spots.
Use an anti-perspirant in the armpits.
Relax completely atleast for five minutes before stepping out of the bath.
Towel your body dry.
Apply talcum powder on under-arms, feet and the public area.
Rub body lotion or massage cream on the rest of your body.
Clean your navel.
After a bath, try to relax for a few minutes before starting dressing up.
While using soap, fresh, lukewarm water is the best for bathing because hot water, may damage oil glands.
Do not be economical in your use of water for bathing.
Use standard bath body care products
Ascertain before wiping that you have washed off all soap.
Towels should be clear, soft and puffy.
Wipe with towel by dabbing and then rubbing gently.
Do not rub towel on delicate parts like face, neck, chin and stomach or else wrinkles will appear.
Relax for a few minutes after a refreshing bath.
So next time your partner moans about the length of time you take in the bath, remind them that it’s cheaper than a beauty salon and a massage but makes you feel great and thereby helps you look your best for them.
How to Apply Eye Makeup
May 11th, 2008If the eyes are the window to the soul, you’ll want yours to look expressive and definitive. There are several different methods for applying eye makeup and you can alter your routine for a custom look that’s just for you. We’ll show you how.
Before you begin, make sure your eyebrows are properly shaped and groomed. They frame and accent your eyes so you’ll want to keep them properly tweezed and trimmed with a natural arch to open up your face.
Applying Eyeshadow
Most eyeshadow comes in multi-colored compacts for a reason. Use these colors strategically to enhance your features and draw out the true beauty of your eyes. Your shadow does not have to match your eyes or clothing but if you choose bolder colors, make sure you mix them with some neutral shades for an overall natural look.
1) Apply the lightest or next to lightest shade from the top of your lower lid to just underneath your eyebrow. If you wish, you can apply it to the entire area, from lash line to eyebrows.
2) Apply the medium shade to your eyelid, extending just above the crease.
3) Apply the darkest shade of eyeshadow from the center of your eyelid to the outer corners.
4) For extra highlighting, apply the lightest shade or a very light shade with some color just beneath your brow bone to the outer 2/3, and blending outwards.
5) If you wish to use eyeliner, you can use liquid liner or pencil just above the eyelashes on the upper lid or below the lashes on the lower lid. I prefer to use a pencil just below the lower lashes because it looks more natural.
6) Blend in carefully with a tissue or dry sponge and check in bright light.

Beautiful Hair Style Tips
May 5th, 2008Healthy Curls Hairstyle
Waves and ringlets were seen all over the fall fashion show run-away, but that’s not the only reason to go a natural. Pulling on your hair with a brush, blow-drying it, and using a flatiron to straighten curls can cause split ends, excess dryness, frizz ness, and breakage.
Healthy Tip:
Deep-condition of hair curls at least twice a month to moisturize and banish frizz to help curls keep their natural shape without weighing them down.
Healthy Short Hairstyle
Short hair is healthier because you’re constantly cutting off split ends. Such style usually dry on their own, but even if you do pull out the blow-dryer, the job will take only a few minutes, so there is less risk of damage. Cropped cuts also keep from knotting and tangling.
Healthy Tip:
Short hair is easy to style, even if you haven’t washed it. And unless yours extremely oily, you shouldn’t have to shampoo and blow-dry more than three or four times a week. On off-days, just wet hair and air-dry to fix flatness or bed head.
Healthy Brunette Hairstyle
Turning tresses brown is definitely easier on your hair than becoming a blond. Lightening agents pull pigment out of strands; this can make hair more fragile and prone to breakage. When you go your hair in brunette, you’re actually depositing pigment on the hair, making it look healthier.
Healthy Tip:
Styling aids like gels and sprays can leave brown locks looking dull, so use a clarifying cleanser safe for colored hair every few weeks.

How To Apply Fake Eyelashes
February 14th, 2008Applying fake lashes is best left to your makeup artist, but with a little patience and practice, you too can master this art. So don’t try it five minutes before leaving to a big party. Andrea lashes are great and they are available inexpensively at the drugstore.
Keep a piece of paper handy to hold the lashes, and a magnifying mirror, which makes the job a lot easier.
Using a tweezer, dip the base end of the lashes into the glue, then place the lashes as close to the baseline of your own as you can, filling in wherever you want the greatest impact (generally, the mid to outer lashes look fabulous in false lashes). Press gently, but firmly with something blunt. Hold the lash in place for about 5 seconds until the glue has a chance to hold.
Let the glue dry, and then apply a dark eyeliner to camouflage the line of the fake lashes and then apply your mascara. The mascara will help blend your own lashes with the fake ones, and make your eyes look fuller and larger.
To remove, gently pull them off with tweezers.
