| 6 Usefull tips to fight body odour |
There are three types of secretary glands. Sweat glands are the most widely distributed and their function is to regulate body temperature. An average person loses atleast half a litre of sweat every day and this figure rises during summer and physical exercise. Sweat has a slightly acrid smell.
- Area like the foot pose a problem because the sweat becomes trapped by socks and shoes.
- The odour associated with the armpits is because the sweat cannot easily evaporate.
- Bacteria decompose the sweat to produce the characteristic body odour.
- Some parts of the body like the armpits and genitals have a strong smell because they are richly endowed with all types of glands. As these are covered, water cannot evaporate easily and offensive body odours are thus caused.
- Any amount of scrubbing or washing would be able to get rid of only a fraction of the bacteria and that too for a very short time.
Useful Tips
- Avoid synthetic clothes. Use cotton clothes instead.
- Avoid hot drink consumption as much as possible.
- Avoid tight-fitting clothes.
- Take regular baths
- Use anti-perspirants, deodorants etc
- Drink plenty of water and eat lot of fresh fruits.
- Use perfumes.

| The Different Skin Types - Which Skin Type Are You? |

|
| The Different Skin Types - Which Skin Type Are You? |
The way your skin behaves and reacts determines the type of skin you have. Basic skin types include oily, dry, combination, normal and sensitive. The skin on your face is the best guide to classifying your skin type.
An easy way to find out what type of skin you have is to cleanse your face, wait for an hour and then take a tissue and wipe your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin. If the tissue picks up oily residue from all these areas, you have oily skin; if it picks up oil only from the forehead, nose and chin (T-zone), you have combination skin; if it picks up dry, flaky skin, you have dry skin; and if you do not find oil or flakes, you have normal skin. No matter what type of skin you have, cleansing and moisturizing twice a day is an important part of having healthy, attractive skin. Choose products that are designed for your particular skin type for maximum results.
Beyond the basic skin types, you may also have sensitive skin. Although sensitive skin is often dry, any type of skin can be sensitive. Sensitive skin is usually thin, delicate, reacts quickly to hot and cold temperatures, is easily subject to sun and wind burns and is prone to allergic reactions. Cleansers, detergents, cosmetics, alcohol-based external products and temperature changes can make sensitive skin red, dry, itchy, blotchy and even reveal surface veins. The most favorable type of products to use on your skin are fragrance-free and non-comedogenic (non-pore clogging) with a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more. Before using any product, it is a good idea to test it on the inside of your wrist to see if your skin has any reaction to it. Always choose mild cleansers and use a soft towel on sensitive skin.
Knowing the different skin types, and which one you have, is the first step toward choosing a skin routine that makes you look and feel your very best.

| Advantages Of Using A Skin Care System |
|
|
| Advantages Of Using A Skin Care System |
Aren't most skin care products basically alike? Does it really matter that I use different brands of skin care products together? I want to look great, and I don't want to waste my money. That was my attitude toward skin care and cosmetics for quite a long time until I learned that there really are some advantages to using a skin care system. Here's what I discovered.
The first and most important advantage to using a skin care system is that the products are designed to work together chemically. The cleanser might slightly reduce the pH balance of your skin while the toner or moisturizer might be formulated to restore the PH balance to your skin. The cleanser and toner may use different amount of an ingredient to remove oil, dirt, and dead skin cells from your skin. The moisturizer may contain oils or ingredients that help sunscreen absorb and work effectively. Even though the system is made up of four or five parts, those parts work so well together that they become something beyond the sum of their parts. Hang in with me for a second and let me explain what I mean.
Do you like peanut butter sandwiches? A sandwich is a system that's better than its individual parts. Imagine that I bring you a plate with a big scoop of peanut butter, a large blob of jam, and 2 slices of bread laying on a plate. I offer you this plate and ask if you'd like to eat it. After you roll your eyes and wonder if I'm nuts, you will decide what to do next.
Now imagine that I bring you a plate with freshly toasted bread, spread with a generous amount of peanut butter and evenly covered with jam, put together as a sandwich. Would you be more likely to accept this plate from me? I'm betting you would. Why is that? It's because your sandwich is complete, and the bread, peanut butter, and jam are working to make something better than the sum of the parts I used to put it together. The first plate had the components of the same sandwich, but they weren't working together, were they?
Skin care products work in a similar way, and when you use a system designed to work together, you get better results than if you use a cleanser from Company A, a toner from company B, and a moisturizer from Company C. Oh, and don't forget about the sunscreen! It comes from company D, and it doesn't absorb into your skin very well because the moisturizer from Company C has a base that won't let the sunscreen do its job. With a system, the parts support each other well so that there are no ingredient clashes.
The other advantages of using a skin care system are important too. When you use a system, it's much easier to solve problems that come up if your skin responds badly to something in the skin care product. Companies that sells skin care systems are usually very easy to approach with concerns and will refund your money if the system doesn't work for you. When you don't use a system, you can't be sure what's irritating your skin and don't know who to turn to for help when you need it. I discovered this for myself when I was using 3 products from different companies and ended up with a rash on my face. I was sure it was the cleanser and threw it away. I found out I was wrong in a hurry the next time I put on the moisturizer! Ouch! I ended up losing the cleanser and moisturizer that day, and that cost me quite a bit of money.
The final advantage of using a skin care system is that you often get a nice price break. Manufacturers reward their customers for making smart choices about their skin by offering them a discount over what they'd pay if they bought each product separately.
With the advantages we've talked about here, I hope you'll consider using a system of skin care products to nourish your skin. You'll save money, get support if you find that the products aren't working as you expect, and get better results to keep your skin looking young, healthy, and radiantly beautiful.

| Tips On How To Use Sugar In Hair Removal |

| Tips On How To Use Sugar In Hair Removal |
Sugaring, a recipe for hair removal. This hair removal technique starts in the kitchen. Start with a cup of regular sugar, a quarter cup of honey, and juice from half of a lemon. Microwave this mixture for two to three minutes or until it starts to bubble. It should have a smooth consistency at this point. Leave the bowl to cool for about five minutes.
Now that the sugar solution has cooled you need to get a wooden stick similar to a tongue depressor for applying it, while still in the kitchen grab some corn starch. You will also need multiple strips of non colored cloth, cutting up an old white T-shirt works well.
Sugaring works like waxing and the sugar and honey solution will stick to the hairs to assist you in pulling the hairs out by the roots, so unfortunately, like waxing, it will hurt.
Clean and dry beforehand the area you plan on sugaring. Be careful that this area is free from residue of soaps or lotions. It is said that sugaring will work the best on the upper lip hair line and the bikini area. This process is messy so it is best to do this in the bathroom or somewhere you can be sure clean up is as easy as possible.
Start by spreading some cornstarch on the area to be treated. Please note that whatever area you decide to treat the effects will last from two to six weeks with fine hair growth beginning to show about two weeks after the application. The more noticeable hair growths will show about four weeks after application.
After you have prepped the area with the cornstarch use the wooden stick or some similar applicator to apply a thin layer of the sugar mixture. Next, place a strip of cotton cloth over this. Use your hand to apply moderate pressure to this cloth rubbing it in the opposite direction of your hair growth. Take the end of the cloth strip and swiftly snatch it off in the opposite direction from that which your hair grows in. Use warm water on the treated skin to take off any of the sticky sugar mixture which may remain. If you desire, you can put an unscented lotion on the skin now.
Ahh, now you can relax you have mastered sugaring.

Lip Sticks are one of the most used make- up items in the modern times.. The Lips are considered to be an attractive and most sexy part of a Woman and all the young Women want to accentuate the appearance of their Lips by applying the Lipsticks and other related Cosmetic items like Lip Gloss.
While applying make up you can make your Lips appear soft and light pink, by lining them with pink Lip Pencil and use the pink-toned lip-gloss. Depending on your complexion and the other facial make up you are wearing the other shades that will suit you are light mauve, plum with a bit of sheer shimmer Gold, pinkish red that may have the touch of sheer shimmer Gold, red and red brown.
For the dark-skinned Ladies soft pink, reddish brown and deep brown shades of Lip sticks can be used with a lighter or similar shade of Lip gloss for their Lips to look fuller and fresh. The use of Lipsticks can be made more effective by using Lip Gloss also in a very systematic and careful manner.
To have some extra Gloss effect on your Lips take the Gloss on the back of your hand until it collects in a tiny mound and spread it on your Lips and spread it evenly on your Lips. To apply the Lips Gloss on a Lip with lines apply it on the middle of the Lips so that the gloss and Lipstick do not smudge much over the Lips and cause feathering.
To make you look more fuller apply the Lip-gloss to the center of the Mouth and by this you can avoid the matte Lipsticks from drying and flaking by using a Lip Primer or Color fixative before applying it. To look more attractive and give a special effect on the application of Lipstick to compliment to the overall make up, you can use a Lipstick/ Lip Gloss combination in sheer silver, gold color.
Moisture is very important for the health of your Lips and the entire make up and the Lips Stick you use on them must be capable of giving that moisture to your Lips. Always Vitamin E is good for Lips as it gives them a natural glow, with good moisture. Lip balms are applied before applying Lipstick to keep your Lips moisturized, nourished and naturally rosy.
Any type of Lip stick application must prevent the Lips from drying and developing of cracks. Creamy Lipsticks must be used for daily use to keep your Lips moisturized and add a wet look with the help of Lip Gloss.

| Eyebrows - Tips For Tweezing |
|
|
| Eyebrows - Tips For Tweezing |
Eyebrows - Tips For Tweezing: To minimize the pain, numb the eyebrow area first either with a baby's teething pain preparation or numbing toothache preparation or even a little ice.
The hair can be softened first with a hair conditioner or shaving cream.
Steam your eyebrows with a hot washcloth for five minutes or tweeze right after a hot shower to open the pores so the hair comes out more easily.
Invest in a professional pair of tweezers so you have a clean, sharp pair each time. If you are serious about tweezing, buying a good quality pair is essential.
Use natural light wherever possible.
First clean up the area between the eyebrows by plucking any stray hairs.
Pull the skin taut and remove hairs as close as possible to the root.
Pluck in the direction of the growth.
Shape your eyebrows by plucking from underneath rather than from above to create a natural arch.
To close the pores of the skin after plucking, use an astringent or soothe irritated skin by applying warm petroleum jelly.
Shaping: 3 Steps
1. First thin the eyebrow, then slowly define the arch. The arch should reach the highest point above the middle of the iris.
2. To determine where the eyebrows should begin and end, hold a pencil vertically against the nose. Where the pencil meets the eyebrow above the nose should be the starting point.
3. Next, with the pencil still held against the nose, tilt it diagonally so that it rests against the far corner of the eye. That is the outer point where the eyebrow should end.
Changing the Shape
To avoid tweezing into a shape you later regret, first use a white eyeliner pencil to color in the areas under your eyebrows which you think should be plucked.
If you don't like the shape, remove the white eyeliner and redraw. Once your are satisfied with the shape, tweeze the hairs in the white area.
About The Author Mike Jones is a writer and webmaster with over 10 years experience. His recommendation: Recommendation: To reduce the need for tweezing eyebrows, apply Kalo Hair Inhibitor Lotion with a cotton swab right after tweezing. This significantly reduces the hair growth.

| Age Doesn't Matter With Aging Skin Care Treatments |

| Age Doesn't Matter With Aging Skin Care Treatments |
Your skin is a very important part of your body. The overall wellbeing of your body is reflected on your skin. If you are always out and about, exposing yourself to too much sun, your skin may be damaged by Ultra-Violet rays of the sun. If you are not watching what you eat and not living a healthy lifestyle, the lack of vigor will show on your skin. If you do not apply creams or lotion to keep your skin moisturized, your skin will become dry. It will not help knowing the fact that no one stays young forever. But there is always a way around it! Aging skin care is a very easy method to erase a few years and look younger than your real age.
Here’s a fact – aging happens the moment you are born. It is best to start taking good care of your skin when you are young. Of course, signs of aging does not show itself when you are young. Wrinkles, dry skin and other signs become visible in middle age. However, aging can manifest in people as young as those in their late 20s.
It is never too soon to start with aging skin care. But first, you must know the processes and causes of aging. Signs of aging are mostly caused by free radicals that damage your skin’s collagen. Collagen is made up of elastic proteins that keep your skin tight and smooth. On the other hand, free radicals are basically aerial components, such as oxygen that have been transformed into harmful substance because of the pollution in our environment. These free radicals are very harmful to the skin, as it corrodes and damages anything that comes in contact with it. Since the skin is very sensitive, the effect of free radicals is twice as dangerous.
Being exposed to free radicals makes the aging process twice as fast. What can you do to lessen the effect of this harmful component on your skin? Well, avoid going outside. Direct exposure to sun and wind will do harm to your skin. When you are going out and about, apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30. There are some cosmetic and aging skin care products, such as powder and foundation, that have a built in protection to the sun, so can also check those out. Also, try living a healthy lifestyle. Tobacco and alcohol greatly contributes to the aging process. They have chemicals that corrode the skin and leave it dry, making the skin more susceptible to fine lines. Aging skin care products are also in forms of gels, creams and toners. You may also want to consider cosmetic surgery to permanently erase the age from your face. However, you must keep in mind that once aging starts to show itself, it would be unstoppable. Aging skin care products and methods will be able to help you lessen the signs to aging and make you look younger.

|
| Tips On Finding The A Skin Care Professional |
With beauty-enhancement and skin care clinics opening in every corner of the metropolis, it gets a bit hard to find the right one that will take care of all your beauty needs. In fact, the more clinics to choose from, the more confusing it is for the average consumer who does not know a thing about professional skin care.
Below are some tips that can help you in your search for the skin care professional that will not only help you care for your skin but will also help you take care of your whole body and well-being.
1. Go to reputable hospitals
Most hospitals will have sections or departments that deal with the skin. Most of the time, it is best to go here and ask for referrals as most of their doctors are reputable and experts in their fields.
Another advantage of seeking a doctor inside the hospitals or in major clinics is the fact that they will be able to provide your with the latest in facilities and also in terms of techniques. Big hospitals are constantly upgrading their service as well as updating their staff with the latest technology.
2. Ask a recommendation.
For sure, you will know someone who have been treated and if not, you can always ask your friends who will surely know someone really good. Getting referrals is a great way of ensuring that your doctor is really good because someone you know has already tried his services.
Another advantage of going to a doctor that your friends know is that you can ask for tips when it comes to some things like haggling for the price.
3. Check your budget
You can get the best care but if you don’t have the money to pay for it, why bother? It is important that before you look for a good doctor, you know how much you are willing to spend. The doctor that you should be asking for should be within that budget. Otherwise, you will only be wasting your time.
4. Make sure that you have all the facts
Before you go hunting for doctors, make sure that you have already done your research on the procedure. This way, you will be able to find the doctor that will fit your needs and requirements.
Remember that every doctor has his or her own specialty. Find the doctor whose specialty is the procedure that you want to be done on you.

| 12 Free Beauty Tips: Make-Up And Cosmetics |
|
|
| 12 Free Beauty Tips: Make-Up And Cosmetics |
Use these 12 free beauty tips to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your choice of make-up and cosmetics:
1. When shopping for lip color and eye shadow, put a clean sheet of white paper in your bag. New lip colors can be tested on the paper along with a strip of eye shadow. You can then examine the colors in daylight outside, away from the artificial lighting in the store.
2. Fragrance: Use two light formulas together to lock a scent in rather than a heavy application of one fragrance which can overwhelm those close to you. Using a scented body cream and then lightly spraying with an eau de toilette or parfum of the same scent will still result in a long-lasting effect.
3. Just use regular cold cream to remove oil-based makeup.
4. Make your nails seem more slender by applying a dark nail varnish down the center part of the nail being careful not to take it right to the edge of the sides of nail.
5. When testing the color of a foundation and you are already wearing a foundation, use the areas on your neck or inner arm. The skin tone in these areas matches the face more closely than the hands and a better judgment can be made.
6. To find the best spot to apply blush, smile widely, take note of where the cheek rises to a round shape. This lifted part of the cheek is the best place for blush to look natural as a flush will often color this area of the cheek.
7. For concealer to last many hours, be sure to apply it in small amounts at a time in two or three layers. This technique guarantees long wear.
8. With oily skin, avoid toners that contain alcohol as these can dry out the skin and block impurities beneath the surface. To avoid over drying the skin use toners containing AHA's. They help to smooth the skin's texture.
9. Every so often gather all the make-up you have from various places and do an analysis. Be ruthless and throw out anything over two years old, that has a musty odor, that is messy or runny, where liquids have separated, or anything that is dirty or falling apart such as sponges and brushes. By optimizing in this way you can purchase new supplies where needed and keep your make-up kit in top condition.
10. If you have oily skin, use very little moisturizer or, if possible, none at all. Too much moisturizer on oily skin can cause makeup to slide away.
11. If lip lines are a problem, apply lipstick vertically instead of horizontally.
12. When removing makeup, take a Q-tip which has been dipped in a non-oily remover and run it over the eyelashes to take off any remaining mascara.

| 5 Free Beauty Tips: Make-Up Brushes And Pencils |
|
|
| 5 Free Beauty Tips: Make-Up Brushes And Pencils |
Make-Up brushes and pencils need special care as they come in direct contact with that most sensitive part of your body – your skin. Use these 5 free beauty tips to keep a high standard.
1. Clean makeup brushes with a mild liquid soap. Cup your hand, put in a little soapy water and swish the brushes in the palm of your hand until they are clean. Rinse, reshape, and hang over the edge of a table so the air can dry them naturally. To avoid damaging them, do not soak them in a sink or wrap them in a towel to dry.
2. When purchasing an eyebrow brush, be sure it has firm bristles. A soft brush will only slide over the surface. A firm brush will groom and control the short eyebrow hairs.
3. Use a concealer brush to apply concealer to the innermost corner of the eye. This small, firm brush with a tip can reach this difficult spot which often appears dark as it is so recessed. In the absence of a concealer brush, use a finger to apply the concealer.
4. If you wish to invest in quality makeup brushes, purchase natural bristle rather than synthetic bristles. Sable is a strong favorite. Make sure the bristles are packed tight and not loose. Brush the back of the hand to make sure it doesn't lose too many bristles.
5. When using an eyebrow pencil, use short, diagonal strokes in the direction of the hair growth. Give more attention to areas where there are less hairs rather than an even coverage. Note: Avoid the temptation to use an eyeliner pencil on the eyebrows. They are soft and malleable, ideal for the delicate eye area. An eyebrow pencil needs to be fairly hard to allow you to create tiny strokes in specific areas.

| 7 Free Beauty Tips: Face And Body |
|
|
| 7 Free Beauty Tips: Face And Body |
7 free beauty tips and guidelines that can make your face and body care so much easier:
1. To clean facial skin without doing damage, do not scrub. Rather, use a gentle, oil and fragrance free cleanser, preferably one that is pH balanced. For oily skin use a cleanser that contains benzoil peroxide or salicylic acid. Unless your skin is oily, avoid toner as this can dry out the skin.
2. Invest in a magnifying mirror to closely scrutinize your facial skin. It will then be easy to identify enlarged pores on the central parts of the cheeks as well as blackheads in the area of the nose.
3. Emergency treatment for puffy eyes: If you need to eliminate puffy eyes in a hurry, chill two teaspoons in the fridge, then place the hollow sides over closed eyes for a few minutes.
Alternatively, take two chamomile tea bags that have cooled after being steeped in boiling water, and place them over the eyes for a few minutes.
4. Neck Area: While much time and attention is lavished on the face, the neck area needs as much care and consideration. Include the neck area in your skincare routine.
5. To get the day off to a healthy start, make a drink from boiling water and the juice of one lemon. Add some finely chopped ginger for further interest. Apart from being a good source of Vitamin C, this will cleanse the liver and get your metabolism going.
6. Home Made Salt Rub: Feel renewed by making your own salt rub with a mixture of coarse salt and gentle liquid soap. Using a loofah mitt, apply the mixture all over the body in the shower and rinse the suds thoroughly. Pat the body dry and then apply a body cream or oil to leave your body soft and smooth. (Do not use products containing alpha hydroxy acids to avoid irritating the skin)
7. Make foot care a part of your shower routine. Keep a pumice stone in the shower and smooth away any calluses which may start forming, dry skin on the heels or balls of the feet, or rough skin on the edge of the toes. Gentle, regular care will keep unsightly foot problems at bay.

| Concealers: Hiding the Truth of Dark Circles |
Eyes are capable of conveying a world of messages. Saint Jerome has rightly said, "The face is the mirror of the mind, and eyes, without speaking, confess the secrets of the heart."
Great Qualities of Eyes
Such is the greatness and power of eyes that they can perform many functions. Beautiful eyes are an enviable gift because they simply enhance your beauty. They will never be missed. For this reason, all of us take care of our eyes and even spend fortunes to fine tune them.
Are Eye Problems Inevitable?
Sometimes though, our efforts fail to produce results, and our eyes start losing their glitter and life. Other than the natural causes like aging, you can try to solve your problem by using topical preparations and beauty products.
One of the main problems that women face is dark circles under their eyes. These dark circles are caused by many factors—some natural ones and some avoidable ones. You need to first analyze the cause of these dark circles so that you can plan the most appropriate and fastest solution. Select well-known brands of cosmetics to minimize side-effects.
Remedies to Treat Your Eyes
There are many solutions to treat dark circles under your eyes. Some of these treatments are temporary, while others are permanent. Choose one that suits your needs. For example, the most common procedure for treating dark circles is application of concealers. The term concealer is self-explanatory. It refers to those products used to conceal facial imperfections.
By facial imperfections, we refer to the common problems pertaining to the face, like dark circles under the eyes, wrinkles, puffiness, fine lines, and crow's feet. These are detrimental to your beauty since they make your eyes look tired and aged. To overcome such problems, you choose the correct shade of concealer and foundation. A few tips to choose the correct concealer will help you a great deal.
Useful Tips to Choose a Concealer
Typically, women use concealers to cover darker facial areas; for this purpose, the concealer should be one shade lighter than the foundation. Only in very unique cases should you choose concealers that are two shades lighter.
If you have dry skin and also suffer from dark circles under your eyes, then choose a liquid concealer so that you can nicely camouflage those unwanted dark areas without further dehydrating your skin. Combine these creamy concealers with a cream-to-powder foundation; this is the ideal combination for dry skin.
Choose a concealer according to your skin tone. During summer, your skin is prone to suntan so you will need to alter the shade of concealer to match your darker skin color. Generally, a yellow-based concealer suits all skin types, unlike green, white, or pink ones.
There are many types of concealers. Some are produced oil-free, while others contain mineral oils and pigments. Concealers are also produced in a variety of forms like tubes, sticks, and creams. Check concealers for their credibility and use only those tested and approved by ophthalmologists.
You may need to experiment with a few before you find the right one for your skin.
Apply a translucent powder base that will help the concealer set and prevent creasing.
To derive the maximum benefit, go for one that offers many facilities in one pack. For example, filters, especially soft-focus ones, help cover fine lines and creases. You can even try applying layers of concealers rather than depending on one single shade. However, avoid applying heavy formulations of concealers; otherwise, it will look like you are wearing a mask.
Avoid choosing opaque formulations since they fail to provide that extra zing or shine to your face. To get fuller satisfaction from concealers, apply a foundation that goes well with the neighboring areas like face, neck, and chest. This will give a natural look to your makeup.
Even after analyzing concealers in detail, you may still feel a little overwhelmed and confused by all the different issues involved in concealers and foundations. You can then opt to go with a more direct solution to minimize dark circles.
You can then choose to go for a more exclusive treatment like Eyederma(tm) cream. I understand Eyederma(tm) was created by its makers to specifically nurture eyes suffering from dark circles and puffiness.
I think you should seriously look into this product if you don't want your beauty concealed by dark circles under your eyes. To find out more about Eyederma(tm), search for it at fine online stores like Amazon.com or the BODeStore.com (http://www.BODeStore.com).

| 6 Free Beauty Tips: Hair |
Use these 6 free beauty tips to make your hair care that much easier:
1. Test the strength of your hair by pulling a strand taut between your fingers. If it snaps easily it has probably been damaged. Be cautious with the use of hair dryers and heating appliances and use a heat-protective product first.
2. For a light, natural looking finish when using hair spray on fine hair, apply the hair spray to the hairbrush, then brush through the hair thus ensuring even distribution.
3. Use a range of volumizing products to build volume into fine, flyaway hair. A volumizing shampoo can do so much, but using a volumizing shampoo, conditioner and styling spray can make a huge difference.
4. Avoid hair frizzing by not brushing your hair when wet. Only use the brush when your hair is somewhere between damp and dry. Then use the blow dryer and a round brush until it is styled and completely dry.
5. To get the maximum effect from hair conditioner, be sure to leave it on the hair for the required time. As it can be difficult to approximate how many minutes, try and have a clock visible so a full 5 minutes is given for the ingredients in the conditioner to do their work. It is also important to work the conditioner well into the hair, almost like giving yourself a head massage. To get good results the product must come in contact with the hair itself.
6. When blow-drying the hair, divide the hair into three or four sections. Clip unwanted sections out of the way to allow you to concentrate on one section at a time. Trying to cope with the whole head at once can be difficult.

| Beauty Sleep |

| Beauty Sleep |
People suffer from extremely busy days that usually lead to extremely "busy" nights. Instead of going to sleep, the vast majority of today's working professionals select to do something else, like watching TV until the early morning hours instead of sleeping properly, due to stress and anxiety problems. But, one should keep in mind that sleep is a necessity, not a luxury. Having a good night's sleep is just as crucial to maintaining wellness as is following a healthy diet and performing the proper amount of exercise.
Apart from being a healing process, sleep is also an invigorating one. Researchers examining the human brain while asleep have found that it is cycling through three stages of sleep; light, deep and REM. During these stages the human organism gets restored, it rejuvenates and it also becomes stronger. In addition, the human immune system gets recharged, as cells grow and repair themselves, and the human body conserves energy that will be needed later while a person is again awake.
Unfortunately, due to the heavy schedules and the daily problems people have to face, many do not value their bodies' sleeping needs. Nowadays, as everything stays open later than in the past, many individuals select to sacrifice their night's sleep for another dance at the local club, a late-night movie, a work project due or a few more hours of exercise in the gym. Instead of investing this time available to sleep and provide to their organism time to heal, people prefer to do other activities that seem more important or interesting. What they may not realize is that lack of sleep takes a toll on their mental and physical well-being. According to various studies, like the one the National Sleep Foundation performs frequently, even minimal sleep loss has a profoundly detrimental impact on mood, cognition, performance, productivity, communication skills, accident rates and general health status. Thus, it is important for people to know that for optimal functioning throughout the day, the average adult needs between seven to nine hours of sleep during the night.
But, some people lack their normal sleeping patterns not because of choice, but due to a condition. Million of people worldwide for example, suffer from insomnia today. For these people, using medication-whether based on a doctor's prescription or not-is crucial to aid their night's sleep. Thus, if one suspects that the problems she or he has sleeping could be linked to a health condition like insomnia, it is imperative to visit a doctor's office, if the following tips do not bring sleep back into their lives.
- Avoid caffeinated food and beverages, like coffee, teas, chocolate, and soft drinks, for at least three hours before bedtime. Instead try a cup of warm milk.
- Exercise regularly, but do not perform any workout before bedtime for at least three hours.
- Check the mattress and be sure it supports your whole body. Flip it periodically.
- Develop a ritual before bedtime and perform it daily. Warm baths, reading, listening to soft calming music, are some of the things that can relax your mind and let it rest.
- Sleep in a quiet and comfortable room. Noise, light, temperature can reduce your sleep duration and quality.
- Go to bed and wake up the same time every day. When your sleep cycle has a regular rhythm you will feel better.

Makeup secrets to correct the most common problems
1. A secret to liven up dull, lifeless skin.
2. A trick for correcting acne, eye rings and skin blemishes.
3. An easy guide to knowing what skin-type you have
4. Tricks for making yourself up in 10 minutes
1. A secret to liven up dull, lifeless skin.
Though it may seem complicated; with a few quick steps your skin can change in a matter of seconds.
Three basic steps ;
1. Cleansing
Cleanse your face with your usual make-up remover and finish cleansing by rinsing your whole face in cold water
2. Exfoliation
Apply an exfoliating face pack over the whole face, not forgetting the neck, and avoiding the eye and lip areas (Follow the product-specific instructions), later remove the face pack with water and pat the face dry, without rubbing.
3. Moisturising
First apply a moisturising tonic if your skin is dry or normal, and a descaling cleansing tonic if your skin is combination or greasy. Apply it over totally dry skin with a cotton pad in small touches without spreading it, so as not to irritate the skin.
Apply eye contour treatment if you need it, or if you normally use it.
Apply a moisturising serum for your skin-type (this is normally sold in ampoules at the chemist’s. Most make-up brands also produce different serums according to skin type)
Finally, apply the moisturising cream over the whole face, once the serum has been properly absorbed.
THE KEY STEP: The most important step here is the exfoliation, as skin normally appears dull and lifeless when there are dead skin cells that need removing. You should do the cleansing and moisturising steps daily (except for the serum which would be for specific occasions, according to the indications on the product used).
2. A trick for correcting acne, eye rings and skin blemishes.
The corrector/concealer is the star product here, but if you don’t have one, we are adding a trick to be able to use foundation instead of corrector.
Eye rings
Apply foundation the way you normally would (foundation should be liquid or in a cream texture) once you are done, apply the foundation with a synthetic-hair brush, once again on the eye ring region. When you finish, using a large powder puff, apply a little loose powder that is lighter than your makeup base. Apply the powder in small touches and in tiny quantities, so as not to produce folds in such a delicate area.
For acne or facial blemishes
Just as in the last step, but in the area you need to correct, here the powder you apply should be the same tone as the foundation, or totally transparent.
With this step what you have done is concentrate the foundation over the area to be corrected. Of course, the ideal thing is to use a specific corrector for eye rings, and another specific one for acne (there are brands that do acne correctors which treat as well as correct) in this case you can follow the same steps, and use corrector instead of the foundation, and you’ll see how much better the result is than when you use corrector alone.
3. An easy guide to knowing what skin-type you have
These are the most common skin types; pay attention to the characteristics of each, and identify your skin type. The best thing is always to consult a dermatologist or aesthetician.
DRY SKIN
The skin feels dry and tight.
Wrinkles appear easily, and it has no grease unless you moisturise.
Dry skin normally has a soft aspect, with small pores. It’s uncommon for it to have blackheads or zits.
Dryness may increase or decrease depending on the environment, the weather, computers, air conditioning.
One way of determining the skin’s dryness is to take it between thumb and fingers, pushing it up and then letting it go. If it snaps back to place immediately, then it’s sufficiently moisturised, if there is a little delay, then it needs moisturising.
To keep this skin soft and smooth, you need highly moisturising products, products with nutrients, moisturising face packs and eye contour treatment for day and night. Soaps should be avoided as they tend to dry up the skin. The same goes for products that contain alcohol.
NORMAL SKIN
Normal skin is neither greasy nor dry, and tends not to have zits.
The skin is perfect and appears fresh and smooth. This perfect-looking skin has small pores, and can be a little greasier in the T zone. This skin-type is not very common among adults, but can be found among almost all children.
People with this skin-type should use products specially for normal-to-sensitive skin in order to maintain this type of skin. They should avoid products that contain alcohol.
COMBINATION SKIN
Combination skin has a greasy area: the T zone, and is normal over the cheeks and neck. One needs to choose products very carefully. Moisturising a lot, and avoid drying the skin, putting a particular emphasis on cleanliness.
GREASY SKIN
Greasy skin tends to appear dull, and have blackheads. This skin is constantly producing grease. Greasy skin keeps young for longer. This skin type should be treated with specific, oil-free products but that should be sufficiently moisturising. Besides this, cleansing should be done with cleansing face packs, together with other products for greasy-skin care. The quality of this type of skin will vary from one day to the next, depending on external factors such as tobacco, stress, weather, food, etc.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Irritated blood vessels below the skin are typical in sensitive skin. Skin often feels dry and gets irritated very easily. Perfumed products and soaps can irritate this type of skin. Even products specially designed for sensitive skin can cause inflammation. The only way to find the right kind of product for it is to try them out beforehand. Products should be tried out on the inside of the arm, as any potential reaction will not be as strong here as on the face. Sensitive skin is most common among blonde or red-haired people.
Recommended products for this skin-type are gentle and very moisturising ones. Avoid very perfumed products or those that contain alcohol. Sensitive skin should not be overly exposed to the sun or to very warm temperatures.
4. Tricks for making yourself up in 10 minutes
These are the steps to follow once the skin is totally clean and moist:
Apply corrector in the areas that need it
Put the foundation on
Put the rouge on
Put on eye pencil
Put on mascara
Put on lip pencil
Put on lip gloss or balm
And that’s it. You’ll be completely made up and with a natural and pleasant aspect.
And yes, this make up should last all day, except of course on your lips, and besides, it should take you no more than 10 minutes to put on.
Below we describe each step:
-Apply corrector where necessary
This step should take a few seconds, and the difference between doing it and not doing it can be significant.
Those among you with perfect skin can avoid it, and just use it as an illuminator.
I recommend using it before foundation, although there are products on the market which are meant to be used afterwards; it doesn’t matter, as the question is to correct these areas.
The key thing here is to use the corrector in the areas where the foundation will not be able to unify the tone: a zit, a very noticeable eye ring. Once you are through you can switch to putting on the foundation.
Put on the foundation
Use a make-up sponge (with or without latex, according to preference and skin type) and moisten it (just lightly) so as to be able to spread it more quickly (naturally, I am referring here to liquid or cream foundation, which are the easiest and quickest to put on).
For the liquid version, apply some on the upper part of your left hand (or the other way round if you are left-handed), and dab the liquid foundation lightly with the dampened sponge, but don’t pick it all up.
Start to apply the foundation from the forehead towards the sides, next from the nose towards either side, then the chin towards either side and upwards, and lastly the neck and the ears, if you are short-haired.
Once your whole face is made up, with another part of the sponge, go over the areas where you can see too much make-up, and spread it in small upward strokes.
Put more emphasis on the areas that need correction most, for instance on the outer corner of the eye (this tends to go red) on the nostrils and around the lips.
Applying rouge
This is the easiest bit. Use a tone that flatters you and apply it on the cheekbone and on the mobile eyelid with a rouge brush, blending well so that it ends up looking natural, with a loose powder brush, or using the same rouge brush but with no product on.
That's it. You can go to the next step now.
Applying eye pencil
This step is a perfect trick if you have few eyelashes or want to make them look thicker than they are.
Sharpen the pencil, and for daytime makeup use one in dark brown or grey (for it to look more natural) and apply it in small touches (not in a line) among the lashes on the mobile lid, avoiding the tear duct area, and end up three or four lashes short of where the eye ends.
The idea is that it look like we have more lashes, not like we are wearing mascara.
If it is too noticeable, its because you have put too much product on. Don’t worry: just blend it out with a fine brush or a Q-tip.
Applying mascara
This is an indispensable step in make-up. I know that many of you don’t like mascara because you’ve got to remove it later, it runs, etc. The truth is that, yes, obviously you have to remove it in the end, but if you use a good mascara (for daytime it needn’t be water-resistant: normal ones come off easily) as well as protecting your eyelashes all day, it’ll come off when removed.
A good trick is to always do the lower lashes first, to avoid staining the upper eyelid. Apply the mascara in zigzag fashion, then apply the mascara on the upper lashes, firstly downwards, then upwards. You needn’t put on too much mascara, as this is daytime make-up.
You can use a dark brown mascara but as we are using so little colour in the face, I recommend the black, unless you’re a very light-blue-eyed blonde.
Applying lipstick
Although this is basic daytime makeup, I recommend not to forget the lips. If you’ve paid attention, you’ll have noticed that at no time did I say that I recommend making the lips up with foundation , since, the way I see it, foundation on the lips does not look very natural.
Use a pencil very close in tone to your lip, tending towards the pink but with brown pigments, outline the lips and put some inside the lips also. This way it’ll last you a lot longer and you won’t need to use lipstick unless you so desire.
Apply gloss or balm
The pencil will normally tend to dry a bit, and to blend the colour in you’ll need a little gloss or balm, which one is up to you; balm is more moisturising and natural, and gloss makes your lips thicker and more juicy.
Final touch
Apply an illuminator (or if you don’t have one, a bit of white, semi-pearl powder will do) in the space below the eyebrow , at the top of the cheekbone, and on the chin, so as to light up the face in a very natural manner, making you look spectacular.

| Great Makeup Tips To Transform Your Face |
Follow this advice to quickly and easily change your image;
* Foundation will transform your face:
If you don’t use foundation we recommend you acquire one which suits your skin type. You’ll see how your skin becomes totally uniform, with your face ready for the color to go on!
If you already use foundation, try using corrector (if the product is light enough) over the foundation, to add light to your gaze. Smooth it out with your fingertips to remove excess product. You’ll be shedding off the years!
* Bring out the color of your eyes;
Try out a different color eyeshadow, one that brings out the color of your eyes.
* Change your mascara and your gaze will change;
If you’ve had the same mascara for over three months, then it’s time for a change. Acquire a different one, unless you are really pleased with the one you have. Try out one which lengthens your lashes, or thickens them, and remember to always double-layer it.
* Give color to your cheeks;
Are you putting the blusher on correctly? Follow the shape of your cheekbone to get it right, smile and apply the color with the brush, then blend it with a loose powder brush (normally thicker than rouge ones), for a natural finish.
And –why not?- unless your skin is very rosy, put on a touch of pink rouge (you can also use a pale rosewood color shadow) in the center of your cheek. This’ll automatically bring a different touch to your look.
* Smile with gusto:
If you never wear make up on your lips: -start now! Which color will flatter you most?
-The one closest to the color of your lips, in a darker or lighter tone.
Put transparent lip gloss on. This is very fashionable and is perfect for daytime make up.

| Dry Winter Skin: How to Deal with it |

| Dry Winter Skin: How to Deal with it |
Feeling like a refrigerated raisin is often not the best way to enjoy the winter season and the joyous holidays that accompany it. Here are some tips on how to deal with dry winter skin.
Your skin in winter can become dry to the point of being painful. I myself began feeling the effects of the cooler weather in early October. My lips became tender and chapped, and I had to switch to a different formula of daily facial cleanser because the exfoliating beads in my current cleanser were irritating my skin. I’ll have to limit my daily exfoliation to just twice a week. Also my hands and feet became very dry.
Indoors you’re subjected to dry heat and outdoors you’re bombarded with harsh winter UV rays from the sun and chilling winds. Yes, the sun’s rays are still just as dangerous as in summer and they will reflect off any snowy surfaces, bouncing the rays right back on to you. You’re going to need a good facial moisturizer with SPF in it.
Here are some more tips to help you combat dry winter skin:
Use a lip balm (preferably with SPF) and do not lick your lips under any circumstances. That just makes it worse. Keep your hands moisturized with a good quality hand cream.
Drink plenty of water and limit your alcohol intake. Alcohol is a dehydrator.
Buy a humidifier if you don’t already have one. It may help keep your heating bills down as well. You know, the whole heat and humidity thing. Think Amazon rainforest.
Use a shower filter. It will filter out the skin-drying chlorine in your tap water. Avoid hot water even though it feels good on a cold winter morning. It will only strip your skin of its natural oils and cause water to evaporate more quickly. Also, it pays to switch from soap which can dry the skin, to a silky body wash which will help your skin retain moisture. Pat your skin dry when exiting the shower, don’t rub. Apply a nice moisturizer to help seal in moisture.
When the humidity drops to 50 percent or less, you will need to pay even more attention to your moisturization routine. Stay away from harsh scrubs or cleansers since they will eliminate most of the skin’s oils and dry your skin out more easily. This applies to skin care products as well as cleaning products.
My favorite winter skin care tip is before you go to bed, apply a thick, rich moisturizer to your feet, concentrating on the heel area. Then put on a nice cushy pair of socks. When you wake up your feet will be soft and smooth and well-hydrated.
Not paying attention to extremely dry skin can lead to health issues and act as a welcome mat for rashes and skin infections. So take good care of your skin and enjoy your winter!

| Tips For Purchasing Cosmetics Online |

| Tips For Purchasing Cosmetics Online |
Many women are discovering just how tricky it can be to buy their cosmetics online. There are so many different kinds of cosmetic goods available as well as the people supplying them and at first you may feel overwhelmed by the options available to you. However, there are many things that you can do to make the process of buying cosmetics on line easier.
Firstly, you should consider what it is exactly that you are looking for? Are you after ones to help fight the signs of ageing, such a moisturizer or are you just looking for a new lipstick. It may be that you are interested in purchasing a classic colour of nail polish or one of the hottest lip glosses that are doing the circuit.
Really, it all depends on what you want, and you may find that certain companies manufacture exactly what you are after. By entering a specific search term into a search engine keyword box such as “eye cream” or “lipstick” rather than just “cosmetics” or “moisturizer” you will find that a more targeted return is provided to you with a choice in websites available to you.
The second tip is be careful when purchasing products from either an individual or a non-manufacturer. You will not know how long the product in question has been stored by them and the way in which they store it.
However, it is a store that you know and trust or you are may be just looking for a basic item such as hand lotion, then stick to well known manufacturers or stores. Also check with the supplier if they have a returns policy system that allows you to return the product and that you will get a full refund if the product is up to standard.
Another tip is never buy used cosmetics online. Auction sites such as eBay are very popular with people who wish to list “lots” of mixed cosmetic items, and some may be used and some not. What you must consider is that lipsticks and mascara only have a shelf life of six months it does not make sense to purchase other people’s used items which are most likely out of date and not to forget the hygiene aspect as well, it just isn’t worth it.
A further tip is to purchase your lipsticks or mascara directly from the manufacturer. In fact there are some companies like Aloette, Mary Kay or Avon who have sales representatives located close to where you live who you could contact and arrange for them to show their products in the comfort of your own home to your family and friends.
Using this method helps you to get facials and also try many of the products prior to purchasing them. In fact if you should decide to purchase from the company, then usually their representatives have their own personal websites so not only can you support them it still provides you with the convenience of buying the products online.
The final tip that I can give you is that word of mouth is a powerful thing. There are many sites where women have actually posted their comments and experiences on the different online companies. You may also find that many of your friends have already purchased items on line from a company that you like. You may also find that a large number of sites have beauty advisors who are able to help you find the colour and look that will suit you best.
So no matter where you decide to purchase your cosmetics from, it is wise to take into account that the prices shown online do not include shipping and tax costs as well. In fact these can add quite a large amount extra on to what you are paying, but some sites will offer you free shipping if you spend over a certain amount. Also it is an idea to keep an eye out for those sales on the web only, which will not just save you money but will provide you with the convenience of shopping from home.
