Beauty Tips for Outside in the Winter





When you go outside in the winter season, the harsh, cold weather can create many problems and damage the skin. If you don't protect your skin, it can become scaly, dry, unattractive and rough. Central heating dehydrates and pulls moisture out of the skin, which is further aggravated if you expose your skin to sun frequently. Take precautionary measures to revitalize your skin and prevent the damage.

Moisturize and Cleanse

During winter, skin is more vulnerable to dehydration and dryness. Make it a daily habit to apply a moisturizer before going out. Choose a moisturizer that contains sunscreen protection, zinc oxide, sesame oil, lanolin and glycerin to prevent dryness, restore smoothness and preserve water content of the skin. If your skin is extra dry, apply non-greasy moisturizers that contain water-binding agents and antioxidants. When you get home in the evening, cleanse your skin with a high-quality cleanser that contains no alcohol to soothe the surface and retain moisture of the skin.

Drink Water

In winter, water intake is usually decreases. Lack of water can dehydrate the skin and lead to dryness and premature aging. Water intake is a natural remedy to achieve beautiful, healthy, revitalized and oxygenated skin. Drink at least six to eight glasses of water daily.

Lips and Eyes

The delicate skin around the eyes is especially vulnerable to the harsh conditions of winter. Use an eye recovery moisturizer to prevent dark circles, excess water evaporation and saggy-looking eyes. The skin around lips is also vulnerable to dryness, because it preserves less moisture than other parts of the body. Daily application of lip balm that contains a sunscreen will smooth and soften your lips.

Exfoliate

Scrub your skin once or twice a week to remove dead cells and make your skin glow. This will allow your skin to absorb moisture to protect and beautify your skin. Scrubbing helps prevent premature aging and softens the skin surface. Do not forget to apply a sunscreen every time you step out of the house.

Cold-Weather Beauty Tips for Moisturizers

Winter is one of the most challenging seasons when it comes to proper skin care, partially because of the decreased humidity. During the summer you need to protect your skin from the sun, but that can be accomplished simply by wearing a hat and smearing on some sunscreen. How can you hope to protect your delicate facial skin from elements like the wind and bitter cold? Short of staying inside all winter, or wearing a full-coverage hockey mask, your best bet for winter skin protection is probably the right facial moisturizer. And by considering a few things about your skin type and the available products, you can find the best winter moisturizer for you.

They are just a part of the skin care routine. To have glowing skin you need to cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin well. It is not a Herculean task; all you have to do is dedicate some time of the day to your skin.

Hair Shampooing For Various Hair Types








Hair shampoo is used to wash, cleanse, and remove the dirt/impurities from the scalp and hair. Some types of hair shampoos are considered aggressive and sweep away the dirt, as well as the hair’s protective sebum.

Shampoos are made of a variety of formulas depending on the type of hair. So its’ essential to know, which type of hair shampoo is ideal for a person.

Tricks to Wearing Daily Makeup








Many women are unable to face the world until they have put their makeup on. A few cosmetics and they have the confidence to handle whatever life throws at them. The problem that many women who wear makeup every day have is that while the makeup does spectacular things to their confidence, it wreaks havoc on their skin.

If you are a daily makeup wearer who would like to look healthy when you remove the makeup at night here are some tips that you should do.

Eyebrow Threading



If you don’t know what eyebrow threading is, you may want to take a look into it.
This form of shaping your eyebrows comes from India and is done by using a thread. There are also other ways to use threading, such as your lip, chin, cheeks and even sideburns.

There are quite a few benefits to having threading done. This is rated as the best way to have your eyebrows shaped. It actually pulls the hairs out in a straight line so the look is very natural. Also, when you compare the price to other methods, it is fairly inexpensive.

If you use medicated products on your skin for pimples and other blemishes, this will be a lot better for your skin if you are prone to breakouts. Your skin will be sensitive from the medications and threading is natural.

Some say that it is less painful than tweezing. Others say that it is about the same. It basically comes down to a matter of opinion. There are some people that also say that threading for the eyebrows lasts longer than tweezing. Waxing will also last you at least two weeks.

Everyone’s skin is different and whether you have your eyebrows threaded or your use a different method, it will depend on how you and your skin react to having the method done. This method has been around for such a long time.

It is now making its way here from India and is becoming a very popular method as time goes on. If you are considering having threading done, you may have to do a little research to find a salon that is near you to have this done. It is still not available everywhere that you may go.

By jumping on the internet, you will be able to find a location near you fairly quickly. Call around and ask the prices that different places charge and you will probably find that the fee is pretty standard and most likely, cheaper than your original method.

Is it safe to use permanent hair color on my hair during pregnancy?


No one has enough information to promise with certainty that using chemical dyes during pregnancy is completely safe, so many pregnant women wait until after the first trimester. At the same time, no one has any human data to show these chemicals cause birth defects.

Over the years, people have conducted animal studies trying to shed light on this matter. Some, but not all, studies have shown a few of the chemical compounds in hair dyes to be teratogenic (causing birth defects). However, in many cases the animals were exposed to extremely high doses of these chemicals, doses in no way equivalent to the exposure of the woman who colours her hair every month or two.

Beauty & Hair Tips


Recognizing simple hair and beauty tips can have you looking younger, more radiant and give you a boost of confidence in no time. Keep in mind that failing to moisturizing the skin on a regular basis can lead to aging, regular haircuts can make an enormous impact on the growing patterns of the hair and using alternatives to sun tanning is safer.
Hydrate the Skin
·         People with smooth, radiant skin can look up to 10 years younger than their actual age. That's why it's important to keep the skin hydrated. Hydrated skin looks radiant and glowing in comparison to dry, dull skin. You can hydrate your skin with moisturizers or by using a hydrating body wash. Moisturizers should contain components that hold in moisture such as glycerin, hyaluronic acid, mineral oil and dimethicone. In the shower, body lotions are good hydrating body washes.
Glowing Skin
·         Self-tanners add radiance to your skin without using the sun's harmful rays. Self-tanners contain an active ingredient called DHA, which turns the outer layer of the skin cells brown. Radiant, tan skin can also give the illusion that you have lost a few pounds. In order to avoid streaks, you can use a low DHA lotion daily, which will give you a glow at a more gradual pace.
Trim Your Hair
·         Trimming the hair is a vital part of hair care and maintenance, regardless of whether you are growing your hair or not. Every woman should trim split ends at least every six to eight weeks. Frequent haircuts will keep your hair looking vital and healthy and will make it grow longer and faster because it removes split ends. If you have split ends, the hair will continue to split, which halts growth; removing them allows for strong, healthy hair to grow. Be sure to have a professional trim your hair to ensure it is done accurately.
Get Voluminous Hair
·         Simple tips and tricks can add body and give your hair the volume you've been looking for. You can apply a volumizing hair spray to your roots and then blow dry the hair with a round brush to add height to the crown of the head. Curling the hair with a curling iron will also add body, but a healthier method is using hot rollers. Hot rollers put less heat on the hair, and thus, cause less damage to occur (the more heat you put on your hair, the more split ends you will get).

The Importance of Protein for Beautiful Skin and Hair


When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Do you see soft, supple, radiant, glowing, blemish-free skin? Or do you see age spots and new wrinkles?
The skin is the first "aging" sign we tend to see in ourselves. We all want to find ways to keep our skin beautiful, soft, and, we hope, wrinkle free. We will each get some wrinkles, but nobody wants them prematurely!

Important Advice for Skin HealthA woman recently came into our store looking for a "magic formula" for her deeply wrinkled skin. She was only in her mid-40s, but said her skin had changed drastically over the past months. Being quite disturbed about the situation, she came to me wanting "that miracle cream."
I talked to her for a few minutes and discovered that she had been on a severe reducing diet for several months. She had followed a diet low in protein, and over the course of those months had lost her skin tone. It had started to sag and wrinkle way beyond what would be normal for her chronological age. Most women want to be slim, but if you saw her, I'm sure you would agree, "not at that price!" Here are some things I told her that are important for healthy skin regardless of whether you're trying to lose weight or not.

5 Essential Beauty Tips to Minimize Wrinkles






We’ve all been there. We look in the mirror one day and realize that not one, not two, but multiple wrinkles have popped up seemingly overnight! Fortunately, there are a few proactive things that you can do to prevent premature wrinkles first of all and to minimize any fine lines that have already made their appearance.

Top Beauty Secrets


We all have some beauty tips and secrets to share. Here is a list compiled from secrets shared by friends and by other visitors to this site. 
 
The tips and beauty secrets shared here can help somebody to answer an important question that may have been worrying them and might even bring a smile to their face.





Beauty Tips for the Body
  • If you are following a diet make sure you exercise also as it is tougher to tighten skin as you diet rather than when the fat has melted away leaving saggy skin in its wake.
  • Pay attention to your posture and balance. Good posture can make you look much slimmer. Wearing a low heel will give you better posture than wearing flat shoes.
  • Wear clothes that fit properly as tight clothes will make you look overweight even if you are slim and baggy clothes hide your figure and make you look shapeless.
  • Tighten bra straps as bras age and the straps stretch and replace bras when it becomes impossible to do so as a sagging chest will do nothing for your figure.

Beauty Tips for the Skin

  • Quit Smoking if you smoke and avoid smoky areas which force you to be a passive smoking because research shows the being exposed to cigarette smoke because research has shown that smoking prematurely ages your skin.
  • Stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid the strongest rays or wear a protective hat, long-sleeved shirt, sunglasses and sunscreen with a SPF of over 14 UVB and UVA protection, but expose skin for a short time (say 10 minutes) each day without protection to ensure you are getting your vitamin D. Check your skin every month for signs of skin cancer and consult doctor immediately if you have any moles which have changed or other worrying signs. Have your skin checked each year by a dermatologist.
  • Keep skin hydrated and use a humidifier in winter. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to hydrate skin from the inside and eat well as good nutrition helps the body repair skin damage.
  • Exfoliate your skin regularly to avoid breakouts. After washing your face, rinse in cold water to close the pores.

Hair, Teeth and Nails

  • Nourish your nails by massaging olive oil into the nails and cuticles once a week. Massage oil into the hands and leave on overnight wearing cotton gloves to protect your bedding. Always use clear nail polish or an undercoat under colored polish to stop nails from discoloring.
  • Waxing your underarm hair and your legs is better than shaving as hair will become progressively thinner and softer eventually result permanent hair loss over time.
  • Use plain Vaseline on your lashes instead of mascara to nourish your lashes. It makes lashes look darker and won’t cake up or make lashes dry and brittle like some mascaras.

Beauty Tips for The Body and Soul: What Really Makes Women Attractive

The tips below were collected from hundreds of interviews I held with women from all walks of life; from women whose beauty was clearly a large part of their identity (models, actors and public figures) to everyday women for whom beauty didn't play a particularly large role in their lives. I asked them all the same question, "What is the one piece of advice you would give about what makes you look and feel your best?" Here are the tips that came up most often.

1. Confidence - The most frequent comment I heard from the women I interviewed was that beauty was about confidence. This was true across all ages and continents. Women whose looks played a large role in their lives -e.g. models, actresses and women in media -- associated feeling attractive to times when they felt most self assured. Actresses told me they increased their chances of booking work when they could carry off an air of confidence no matter what they looked like. Models said their success wasn't about being the prettiest, since every model is, but about how poised they appeared. So it seems for most women at any age. Holding your head up high, with self-confidence is probably the number one quality that women say leads to feeling and looking beautiful at any age.

. Take the total length from the hairline to the point of your chin (draw a line to indicate this measurement);

. Take the total width (at the height of the forehead, the eyes, the cheekbones and the mouth). Now draw the general outline of the face as accurately as you can’

. Take the height of the forehead from the hairline to the eyebrow line (draw a horizontal line there);
. Take the height of the eyes (draw a line there);

. Take the distance from the eyebrows to the base of the nose (a line);

. Take the distance between the base of the nose and the edge of the upper lip;

. Take the distance between the base of the nose and the lower lip;

. Take the width of the mouth;

. Take the length of the chin.

The skin is the major organ in the body. Oftentimes, the state of your skin is a clue of what is going on inside. Improving overall absorption, hydrating your body and flooding your system with high-antioxidant foods can alter the way your skin appears. Never depart for the costliest or cheapest cosmetic products. Products in the medium range are known to provide the best results.

Massage scalp regularly to increase oil secretion.

Always wash your brush and comb when you shampoo your hair. Avoid lending your brushes and combs to others.

Don't wash you hair in soaps or harsh shampoos. They are highly alkaline and will upset your hair's natural pH balance.

Avoid sratching scalp with finger nails or fine combs, because damage to scalp causes damage to hair.

Leave your hair untied for atlease four hours a day. This eases the pressure on your scalp and gets blood circulation back.

Finally, follow a healthy and balanced diet. Nothing promotes hair growth better.
