You need to do this after washing your face at night. Use a scrub that is soft on your skin. Sugar or oatmeal can be used as a scrub as well.

– Regular use or even daily use of facial masks is good for your skin. You need not buy it always. You can make one on your own using mashed fruits or vegetables like banana, avocado etc. One of the best natural mask is plain yogurt.

– Apply some skin treatment or moisturizer always on your face, either day or night. Give importance to your skin and apply some skin treatment, once you wash it at night. The treatment could be any thing like alpha hydroxy acids, vitamin A, vitamin C or some type of special cocktail treatment. Once it is set, apply a coat of moisturizer over it. Repeat the same process every morning as well.

– Never go for the costliest or cheapest cosmetic products. Products in the medium range are known to give the best results. Those products have quality ingredients and they usually deliver great results also. The only way to find the right product for you is by doing the good old “Trial and Error” method. Keep on experimenting with different brand products until you find the right product for you.

– Keep on hydrating your skin all along the day. You can create your own product by adding a few drops of rose essential oil or chamomile on to a spray bottle of distilled water. You can spray it on regularly over the day even on top of your make up, shaking it a little bit before each use. You may use a commercial product as well.

– Be gentle on your face. Pulling, tugging, scrubbing etc. on your face is not advisable. Never treat your face roughly while cleaning it, moisturizing it or applying make up on it. Thus you can reduce the possible number of wrinkles or skin damage on your face.

How To Remove Hair Dye From Skin, Hair, Hands & Nails /blog/2011/10/how-to-remove-hair-dye-from-skin-hair-hands-nails-read-more-how-to-remove-hair-dye-from-skin-hair-removing-hair-color/ /blog/2011/10/how-to-remove-hair-dye-from-skin-hair-hands-nails-read-more-how-to-remove-hair-dye-from-skin-hair-removing-hair-color/#respond Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:58:38 +0000 /blog/?p=1556 When changing your hair color, the goal is to keep all of the dye in your hair without staining your hands, face and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, this easier said than done because sometimes your glove(s) will rip or the dye will splatter, leaving you with unwanted messes. And as many people can attest to, scrubbing dye out isnâ€t exactly the easiest thing to do. Furthermore, there are times where the color wonâ€t turn out the way you wanted, and in order to fix the mistake, youâ€ll have to remove the dye from your hair and start all over.

Whether youâ€re trying to get dye out of your hair or off of the skin, it will take some hard work. But hopefully, the following tips for removing dye from your hair and skin will drastically cut down on this work.

Removing Dye from Hair

There are several different methods for removing dye from your hair, and the method often depends on the details of the situation. To expand on this point, you should go for the less harsh methods in the beginning, and step things up a notch if this doesnâ€t work.

One of the simplest ways to remove dye is by using some dandruff shampoo mixed with baking soda; when you do this, make sure the hair is wet before applying the mixture. Assuming you perform this treatment several times throughout the week, you should be able to remove the dye.

For those whoâ€ve used a demi-permanent color to darken their hair, a good natural treatment is to make a water and Vitamin C solution; when mixed right, it should turn into a paste. The next step involves putting the paste into your hair and leaving it sit for an hour or so. Assuming you do this within a couple of days after your dye job, this should take most (if not all) of the color out.

If you donâ€t mind spending money to remove dye from your hair, you can purchase a hair color remover. These products remove the dye through chemicals, and all you need to do to use them is follow the instructions. Some of the most popular brands of hair color removers are Jheri Redding Color Fix, Jerome Rusellâ€s Punky Off, Color Oops Hair Color Remover, Lâ€Oreal Color Zap and Roux Clean Touch.

Preventing Hair Dye Stains and Problem

You can save yourself a lot of scrubbing and wasted time by taking precautions when dying your hair. For one thing, you can use baby oil or petroleum jelly along your hairline (not on your hairline) to keep the dye from sticking to your skin. Another big part of preventing hair dye mishaps is covering the area around you with towels. So if you are dying your hair in the bathroom, make sure to cover the floor and any nearby counters with towels.

Just by doing small things such as covering hard surfaces with towels or putting baby oil below your hairline, you can avoid the trouble that comes with having to scrub or wash out hair dye after the fact.

2011 Fall & Winter Makeup Trends /blog/2011/10/2011-fall-winter-makeup-trends/ /blog/2011/10/2011-fall-winter-makeup-trends/#respond Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:53:27 +0000 /blog/?p=1540 When it comes to makeup lasting all day, the fall and winter offer the best months since you donâ€t have to worry about mascara and eyeliner melting off of your face or coming off in the pool. Fall/winter is also the time when youâ€ll be able to experiment more with gorgeous autumnal colors and the classic smokey eye look. As for lips, youâ€ll want to find the right shade of red so you can complete your seasonal look.

Moving past the general advice, the fall and winter makeup trends for 2011 are shaping up to be bold, sweet, soft and sexy. But before you can complete this yearâ€s trends, youâ€ll need the basic tools of the trade like foundation, concealer, blush, eye shadows in natural shades, lipstick, lip gloss, brow pencil or powder, and of course mascara. Assuming you have all of this, keep reading the makeup trends for fall and winter 2011, and decide what will be your go-to look.

Bold Makeup Trend

If you were born with big beautiful eyebrows, then this is your year to shine. Strong, thick, and perfectly defined eyebrows are going to be a major trend for fall and winter 2011, and the major designers are making sure big brows get noticed. Of course, big eyebrows donâ€t mean messy ungroomed brows, so you still need to shape them, and keep the stray hairs at bay by tweezing regularly. You will, however, need to fill them in with an eyebrow pencil or brow powder to frame your face. An easy way to achieve a strong eyebrow is to keep your makeup natural by matching your foundation perfectly, and not wearing mascara. Use a brow comb to work brow gel over your eyebrows, and to keep the hair in place all day.

Nature-Inspired Trend

Some trends never go out of style, like golden eye shadows used in combination with the autumnal colors; so you can definitely expect to see these colors this season. Eye shadow colors for these upcoming fall and winter months will be inspired by nature like orange, brown, red, yellow and coral. Use strong pigments to create these stunning looks, and then use golden shades to accent the other colors. Keep your makeup simple by not wearing too much black eyeliner with this look so that youâ€ll glow more, without the harsh color on your waterline.

Dark Makeup Trend

Take your look in the opposite direction with this mysterious, dark, sexy makeup trend that will be popping up in the fall and winter. For this look, youâ€ll want to use eyeliner a lot more than the aforementioned trends, while using your eye shadow less. However, you donâ€t need to eliminate your eye shadow because youâ€ll still want to create the smoky eye this season; so put shadow in the outer corner of your eyes, as well as above your crease.

Choose an earth-toned shadow that is iridescent to cover the eyelid. Donâ€t forget to cover the black shadow with the iridescent shade as well, moving from the outer corners of your eyes in to toward your nose. On your lips, apply a nude color of lipstick or gloss; for your eyelashes, use mascara in combination with a lash brush for a spider effect.

Airbrush Makeup: Look Even Better with Clinique Products /blog/2011/06/airbrush-makeup-look-even-better-with-clinique-products/ /blog/2011/06/airbrush-makeup-look-even-better-with-clinique-products/#respond Sun, 19 Jun 2011 23:19:09 +0000 /blog/?p=1306 Foundation you say, how can something so basic and functional be so incredibly tricky?

There are so many considerations when it comes to finding the perfect foundation – colour and shade (dark, fair, medium, tan, olive, pink undertoned, brown undertoned, yellow undertoned?), skin type (oily skin, dry skin, combination skin, normal skin?), brand loyalty, individual preference (shimmery, matte, oil-absorbing, light-reflecting?) – the list is endless.

So if and when you find a foundation you fall in love with, apply with care and continue to follow a skin care regime.

Firstly clinique foundations provide some of the best lightlight makeup with SPF protection for all skin type. Admittedly, SPF15 isnâ€t that high a protection factor, but when you spend most time in an office cubicle and only venture out for meetings and lunch/tea breaks, it does the job well. When spending more time in the sun, recommended is the trusty Clinique Super City Block Oil-Free Daily Face Protector SPF 40 before applying Almost Makeup and your good to go.

A long line of Clinique makeup are oil-free for all skin types. Ultra light, smooth & long wearing. Gives you a natural & perfect complexion. Contains antioxidants & SPF to protect skin from signs of aging. For problem prone skin Clinique make ups are allergy tested & fragrance free.

Sun protection is a must among the young and the older generation. Wearing sun screen of at least 20 SPF is recommended.

Don’t fall into the category, many of us shun sunscreen for the following reasons:
“It feels greasy.”
“It makes me break out.”
“It stings my eyes when I sweat.”
“Itâ€s too expensive.”

If you regularly use one of these excuses, thereâ€s good news: Manufacturers have heard you.

Gone are the days when sunscreen meant smelly, milky-white goop (though that variety still exists). Todayâ€s array of products includes sticks, gels, lotions, and sprays — scented and unscented — that make it easier for consumers of all ages and lifestyles to follow the recommendations for sunscreen use. Clarins skincare makes an excellent source providing, broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection.

It is easy to look young and beautiful regardless of your age. These beauty skin care tips will help you to keep your skin fresh and clean:

1. If you wish to have flawless skin, before swimming in the sea, bathe baby oil throughout the body and slowly scrub by sand. Donâ€t forget to use cream or lotion with SPF 15 otherwise your skin will be burnt.

2. Prevent sensitive skin from UV in sunlight by bathing almond oil on your body after taking a bath. Or use coconut oil can prevent from sunlight and cold wind as well.

3. Moisturizer for sensitive skin should be without acid or perfume. You can notice the word “Comedogenic” on the product label. It means that this skin care product will not cause the building up of comedones.

4. Normal skin often scab and inch during winter. We suggest using organic skin care products, such as moisturizing lotion which is designed for 24 hour skin moisturizing and skin care.

5. If you wish to have smooth, white, light skin, you can scrub with tamarind. It will make your skin whiten, soften and not cracked or dried especially in winter.

6. Stay hydrated by drinking water or green tea. Drinking at least 1.5 liters of mineral water will make your skin and face shining. Discover the other benefits of drinking water in this blog post: Amazing Power of Pure Water

7. Wash your face by cold mineral water every morning and evening will reduce rough on face. Cold water also help skin face adjust the balance naturally.

8. Most women still donâ€t know that your face can be thirsty. So keep on spraying your face by mineral water to keep up your face moist all the day.

9. Boil the honey to moderate temperature and daub throughout face and neck. This method will increase the moist and give your face skin food.

10. Take a bath by mix honey and milk like Cleopatra. This will help soften your skin.
