Add color to your ‘Dry’ Hair! January 17, 2012 18:08
Just like the more colors the more happiness in your life, similarly, the more healthy and beautiful hair, the more beauty it would add on to your look… On the other hand, what good would that dry and dull hair make to you? If you too feel ‘nothing’, then make your hair ‘beautiful’, by adding life to your dry hair… Instead of turning to the many different commercial products found at the supermarket and pharmacy, more and more people are considering the use of natural cures for dry hair. A few effective options to consider include: Vinegar: Refresh dry hair with vinegar, which is known as a great conditioner that elevates shine and cleanliness. Add one tablespoon to your hair for an effective rinse. The remedy also controls dandruff when mixing 2 cups of water with 1/2 cup of vinegar. Using vinegar also combats frizzy hair. Avocado and Banana: Combine a small overripe banana with avocado and spread into your hair. The remedy remains in the hair for up to one hour, where it is then rinsed out using warm water. Eggs: In lukewarm water, whip an egg and apply to the hair to create lather. Rinse out the remedy with lukewarm water. In the end, you will enjoy cleaner hair with extra shine. A deep treatment for dry, damaged hair using eggs is made when combining three eggs, two tablespoons of olive oil (or safflower oil), and one teaspoon of vinegar. Apply the remedy to your hair and cover with a plastic shower cap. The treatment should remain in the hair for 30 minutes, followed by a regular shampooing. Another egg recipe includes one teaspoon of baby oil, one egg yolk, and one cup of water [2]. Beating the egg yolk until frothy, add the oil and beat once more. Next, add the water and then massage into the scalp and throughout the rest of your hair. A thorough rinse should follow. Oil: Rubbing a small amount of oil into the scalp makes an effective treatment for dry hair. Olive oil is suggested, but coconut oil also works well. After rubbing the oil into your hair, you should cover with a cap and leave in for overnight. When you awake, rinse the remedy out with shampoo, concentrating on removing the oil. g) Hot Oil Treatments: To add moisture back to dry, damaged hair, hot oil treatments have proven quite effective. A suggested approach is to place 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms (rubbing them together), and then scrunching the mixture into hair. This is considered a rather effective leave-in treatment. You may also massage two tablespoons of warm olive oil (or almond oil) into the hair, followed by wrapping the head in a warm, damp towel. Wait 30 minutes and then rinse. Hot oil treatments are most effective when applied to the hair at least every 3 to 4 weeks. Move towards that best hair of yours!

White? Always not a peaceful color… January 16, 2012 17:46
Black heads, black patches. You and I are familiar with the same. Then what about white patches that disturb our beauty? They could be a skin problem or as simple as a vitamin deficiency. In either case they can be treated. Along with your treatment to get rid of these white patches, here are certain beauty routines that can be followed simply, but can be affective in the result; Aloe vera gel.This all-natural healer can help minimize the appearance of scars, especially if you use it when a scar is still fresh. Apply the gel to white scars at least twice a day for optimal results. Sandalwood.Applying a paste made of powdered sandalwood and water can be an effective scar treatment. Leave the paste on the white scars overnight, then wash it off in the morning. Honey.This nectar of the bees can be a potent antibiotic, and some beauty experts also recommend it as an excellent scar treatment. Massage the honey into white scars and leave it on for at least half an hour. You may want to try a medicinal honey rather than the standard honey on your grocery shelf. Vitamin E.This antioxidant can be applied topically to remove scars. Apply vitamin E in cream or oil form to white scars a few times a day to make them disappear. Cocoa butter. This natural emollient can help soften white scars and make them fade &mash; especially if it’s used when the scars are new. Onion extract. Onion extract is actually one of the active ingredients in the popular scar treatment Mederma. You can make your own by chopping an onion and pressing out the juice. Lemon juice. Swab some lemon juice & mash; either alone or mixed with rose water &mash; on white scars to help minimize their appearance. You can apply it several times each day. Take care… I suppose this makes you agree ‘White is always not a peaceful color’.

Shine & Skin Appearance January 14, 2012 15:03
Beauty is all about light. We are constantly in search of glowing skin, sparkling eyes, and shiny hair. In fact, (as any movie star will tell you) much of what passes for external beauty is a carefully controlled mixture of reflection, absorption and shadow. People with shiny, oily skin try to make it matte, absorbing light so pores also appear smaller. Powder is the most frequent remedy for shiny skin, and the finer the powder, the more likely your chances of applying it effectively. Cheap powders can cake, or may contain talc that irritates skin. Some foundations also claim to contain powder, to minimize shine, but I haven’t found a good one yet. I’ll let you know when I do! Perfect makeup and brows begin with being able to see yourself in the right light. Many bathroom vanities are constructed with low-wattage or even dim fluorescent lights that don't show you what other people will see. Do you work in daylight, under office lights or with halogen lamps? All these things affect the color of your skin and makeup, the visibility of blemishes or facial hair, even the lines on your face or the circles under your eyes. If you're blessed with great light, terrific! But most of us aren't, and it makes a difference in your overall look. For plucking the perfect brow (or eradicating other unwanted facial hair), there's nothing more helpful than a mirror that magnifies. With magnification, you can grasp the unwanted hair with the right tweezers the first time. Add light to the mirror, and you can see everything up close; perfect for applying moisturizer, makeup, and tweezing. As women age, our skin tends to dry out, so older women are often concerned with achieving a slightly shiny finish, which can be done with powders or foundations containing mica. Unfortunately, mica can also irritate skin or create sparkle (not glow), which is all right in the evening, by candlelight, but looks garish in broad daylight. Best of all in achieving glow without sparkle or grease, is finding the right moisturizer. A good moisturizer combines water with some sort of lipid, which helps skin absorb the water and hold onto it. The most popular lipids these days come from the all-powerful soybean plant. Aside from using the right cosmetics, there are a few things you can do in regards to light to increase your outer beauty. First of all, pay attention to the light in your house. Your bathroom, or the room where you do your makeup should have strong, natural light. It plays hell with your ego, but you’re more likely to catch stray hairs or makeup mistakes before leaving the house, not after. Replace anything fluorescent with halogen track lights, use bright but soft-white bulbs in common areas, and make sure your reading lamp is bright but without glare, to prevent eyestrain. Sit with the Light Behind You & Keep Direct Sun off Skin If you’re going out for lunch and want to look your best, sit with the light behind you, and let the other person get the light in his or her face. You’ll get a halo, and your lunch partner will be temporarily blinded. Choose a shadowed spot over a bright window: it’ll keep the UV rays off your epidermis, defray crow’s feet for another month, and soften the focus. Everyone Looks Better in Soft, Dim Candlelight Anytime you can opt for candlelight at dinner, do that. I can’t think of a person in the world who doesn’t look better by candlelight: its soft, flickering play softens features, tones uneven colors and hides a multitude of skin imperfections. (Why do you think the best restaurants are also the candlelit ones?) You can’t give makeup for a gift (it would be like giving control-top panty hose), but you can give the gift of perfect light. When I’m not sure what to give someone, I always choose candles and candleholders. I’m of the firm opinion that you can never have too many candles, and you can make them fit any gift occasion by altering their number or composition. If you want to spend a hundred dollars on something great, you can buy beeswax pillars. If you have six bucks, you can get a nice scented candle in a glass holder. Last week, I bought some terrific, exotic sandalwood candles for a co-worker’s birthday present, and had enough money left to buy myself a bunch, too. Light has another important role in beauty--the beauty that comes from feeling happy and healthy. Research on light has shown that the amount of light most of us experience from day to day is inadequate for keeping us healthy. You have probably heard of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), in which people experience profound depression during the winter time, when light grows scarce. In northern regions like Scandinavia, Canada and Siberia, depression is significantly greater than in sunny, southern lands. But there are ways to mediate the effects of short, northern, winter-time days. SAD has long been treated by having sufferers sit under full-spectrum lights that mimic sunlight. A short exposure to bright light in the morning increases energy, decreases appetite and makes us feel better. The human brain needs light coming through the eyes in order to create and release optimal amounts of serotonin, an important chemical for brain functioning. Without enough serotonin, we become sleepy, slow and depressed. Our bodies don't metabolize the way they should, leading to weight gain. As research becomes more sophisticated, we begin to understand the importance of daily amounts of bright light for our mental and physical health. Outdoor light, even on a rainy day, is approximately twenty times the amount of normal indoor light. Since most of us spend our days inside, the available light is drastically cut, resulting in depression, lethargy, and a craving for sweets that hits hard once or twice a day. It is possible to remediate the effects of inadequate light by purchasing a full-spectrum light, or by making an extra effort to get outside for an hour during the day.

Dressing for Women with Small Body Frames January 12, 2012 12:15
Petite women come in as many different sizes as average or tall women. The term petite refers mainly to the height of a woman, and generally refers to women who are 5’4” or less. This doesn’t always mean “small,” however, and petites come in all sizes, from 0 to plus sizes. Dressing appropriately for your body type and personal style is important for all women. Accentuating your positive body attributes while minimizing trouble spots is a universal condition when it comes to women’s fashion! And, it is not as simple as putting on a pair of high heels to be taller, though that can help! Focus on flattering styles. Here are 10 tips for showing the world that good things come in small packages: Top 10 Tips for Dressing a Petite Figure Dress in One Color: Monochromatic color schemes can elongate a body and give the illusion of height. Sharp contrasts in colors will accentuate “sections” of the body, making them appear shorter. One piece dresses, two piece suits and blouses and pants that are the same color will create a longer look for the petite woman. Avoid belts or cinched waists. Petite women often have higher waistlines than average-proportion women. Wearing a belt will accentuate a short torso and may give the petite woman a “chunky” appearance, even if they have a slender build. Watch the Size of Patterns. Large print or bold patterns may also not look as flattering when the clothing is cut to a smaller proportion. Stick to simple patterns with finer detail, rather than the larger or bright floral looks. Accessorize appropriately. Be confident with wearing bold accessories, like wonderful necklaces and earrings, but opt for a classy choice when possible. Steer clear of oversized handbags that look like you could fit inside, if you are particularly tiny. Choose Comfort Over Shoe Height: When it comes to choosing shoes, you do not need to wear uncomfortable spiked heels to be taller. Choose comfortable shoes that complement your outfit. In general, petite women should avoid wearing flat shoes, as pants and skirts may fall better and look more flattering with at least a low heel. Avoid horizontal stripes. Vertical stripes can give you a longer look, while horizontal stripes will give a shorter appearance. Wear well fitting clothing. Avoid baggy or boxy looks, or it may appear that you are wearing clothes that are too big for you. A V-shaped neckline can draw attention upward, focusing on your face and upper body. Wearing crew necked blouses or tops can make you look shorter. Avoid bulky materials or clothing. Too much bulk will give you a heavier appearance and make you look shorter. Instead, choose flowing fabrics that are more flattering. Skip the mini skirts, when choosing skirts or dresses. This look is more flattering on women with long, slender legs and will accentuate the shorter legs of a petite woman. Finding fashionable and flattering styles at any height is possible. The key to dressing a petite figure is the same as for any other type of figure, accentuate your strengths and minimize problem areas. When you dress appropriately for your body type and personal style, you will give yourself a better shape and appearance, and therefore, feel more confident and be more successful.

Shade it right… January 10, 2012 17:34
Well, most of us are in a situation to afford for a best make up and cosmetics we can… but, many times we end up choosing a wrong type of shades, be it our lip color or our eye shadow, that is perfectly not matching to our skin type or dress or even the occasion. So, to get it right and to wear a perfect eye shadow, here are the few guidelines. Remember, you need to know your eye balls color in order to know your eye shadow ka shade; brown eyes You are lucky because brown eye colour is darker than any other natural eye colour so attention is naturally drawn to the eyes and it seems you can wear almost any color. If you want to experiment, the best eyeshadow colors for brown eyes are golden browns, blues, greens, greys, purples and burgundy. Avoid a yellowish brown colour. blue eyes One of those ‘Rules’ is that people with blue eyes should never wear any type of blue eyeshadowcolour. Wearing blue eyeshadow will make blue eyes look washed out. Is this true for you? Recommendations are rich warm browns, warm taupes, soft peach colors and greys. Green may not look flattering; it depends on how blue your eyes are, your skin tone and which green hue you use. green/hazel eyes Golden browns, warm taupes, deep purples, soft peaches, pink, gold and soft violets work well. To find what brings out hazel eyes, look at the flecks of colour near the pupil. This is my eye colouring and I find that copper looks stunning as well as a navy blue or green (as long as it is not too vivid). grey eyes Grey eyes are unique and should definitely be shown off. Try black, charcoal, deep greys, deep browns, cool browns and purple to make your grey eyes stand out. some more tips for you; Want an alluring look? Use metallic colors. Unlike metallic colours of yesteryear, these ones will not accentuate any eyelid wrinkles. For bigger eyes? Shadows make things look bigger so mimic a shadow by using black eye shadow. This takes practice and just that so you don't look like you have slept in your makeup. This reminds me of a tip I read recently: take the time to put on your eye makeup then rub your eyes. After removing the excess smudges underneath your eyes you will have a sexy, sultry look. I confess to not having tried this one yet. Want to portray that difference? Wear a colour that matches your eyes. Want your eye colour to really stand out? Contrast colour helps colour to stand out. Colours on the other side of the color wheel make the best contrast color: so if you have blue eyes the opposite colour is brown - easy.

How to get rid of rashes on thighs? January 09, 2012 12:40
A single problem be it when it comes to our health or skin, we are completely down… I agree it is not possible for us to be perfect every day, but this does not also mean we would let anything affect our health and peace either. One such issue that most of our Woman would face is a rash on our thighs. In most of the cases, it is because of overweight or our inner skin not getting the required oxygen, we encounter this problem… but there are many ways to get rid of this problem that makes us rec less… Move to a cool location. If that is a heat rash, that will usually go away within a day of moving into a cool place. Place a cool compress on your thighs or soak in a cool bath. The cool water will decrease the inflammation and reduce the severity of the bumps. Wear loose bottoms made of natural fibers or moisture-wicking material to avoid irritating the area. Tight clothing and synthetic fabrics can irritate the bumps causing them to get worse instead of heal. Apply calamine lotion to the area. This will decrease the itching in the area and may help speed healing. Sprinkle a medicated body powder on your inner thighs. Medicated body powder will reduce friction from the thighs rubbing together. The medications in the powder will help to heal the area and reduce itching. When your thighs rub together, friction occurs. This friction causes the skin on the inner thighs to become irritated and may lead to a heat rash, which is also known as miliaria. When the skin becomes irritated, the sweat glands may become blocked. This causes red, white or pink raised bumps to occur. The affected area is likely to itch or feel prickly and may feel painful. A heat rash is most likely to occur when you are in a hot or humid environment, but it can occur anytime the thighs rub together. All these tips that we have mentioned are applicable in case of rashes on under arms or all over the body as well. But remember, these are in case of the rashes being basic… if you are sensing that the problem is more than just being basic, then without a delay, please visit a skin specialist, who can actually treat the root cause of the problem…

Body care tips January 04, 2012 13:46
Every woman knows that beauty is not just limited to one’s face – it is the delicate amalgamation of face, body and soul. When it comes to beauty products, women tend to spend money almost entirely for their faces. But spending a few extra bucks for a moisturizer, manicure kit, body wash etc. can prove to be a very rewarding experience. It will not only help you to keep your skin and body healthy but it will allow you to indulge in some daily pampering. Dropping those extra pounds seems to be the goal of every woman at some point of her life. Whether we actually do anything about it is still a matter of debate. But jumping onto the bandwagon of crash diets is what some of us attempt from time to time. The allure of losing a couple of inches in a matter of few days is too tempting. But most who have tried a crash diet will know that the pounds will only come back doubly stronger later. We provide you with slimming tips that are simple, easy to practice and definitely healthy. To lose weight one must realize that being model skinny or slimming down certain parts should never be your goal. Dropping pounds in certain spots – just your thighs, your abs etc. is not possible. But losing weight overall is definitely possible and recommended for a healthy body and a healthier self-image. Certainly it takes time, patience and diligence to get there. But many have traveled this road successfully and so can you. No matter your body size, personal grooming is what no woman should ever abstain from. Each of us has a routine for bathing and grooming that we have followed for years on end. But it is never too late to stand back and see if your practices are agreeable and healthy. Take for instance bathing. You may never miss a shower and on some days of the week you may even bathe twice. But did you know that this is highly un-recommended? Allowing your body to produce its natural oils and retain it is essential. If you bathe one too many times or use scalding hot water, it may refresh you temporarily but it will take a toll on your skin in the long run. And our nails – how well do we take care of them? a manicure once in three months and a pedicure even more rarely. Depending on our jobs and chores, we may always be rushed for time leaving our nails to take care of themselves. Maintain a routine of cleaning your nails daily and every once in a while, indulge yourself in a manicure and a pedicure. These practices are not just about shiny nails; it involves enhancing the overall texture of your skin, improving blood circulation and cleaning your hands and feet thoroughly. Irrespective of who you are – a homemaker, a career person or someone playing both roles, do not ever forget to take care of yourself. The better you feel about yourself, the better you will be able to perform in your life.
