Get Healthy Glowing Skin, Stay Hydrated


One of the best ways to nourish your skin is to drink plenty of water. Water assists the body with it’s natural elimination process by flushing unwanted toxins out.

Did you know? Crankiness and irritability are some of the first signs that a person is dehydrated. A good thing to tell your sweety next time either one of you gets a little crabby. or better yet, say nothing and just give ‘em a little agua.

TIP #1
Keep a never-ending supply of water at your desk at work or wherever you spend most of your time. I like to mix things up with a little sparkling water or a slice of lemon or orange or cucumber on days that I want to pamper myself.

TIP#2
For a little added pampering at work, try a hydrating mist.
My secret weapon that I keep stored in my desk drawer is Shu Uemura Hydrating Mist

UNDER EYE CIRCLE , WHAT TIPS


Under-eye circles

This is a very common problem, which is caused by: heredity, lack of sleep, mental and physical fatigue, stress and improper diet.

-- If your cark circles are hereditary, you can hope to lighten them and camouflage them by the treatment given below; but they will not vanish.

-- Sleep is very essential to both health and beauty. Lack of sleep is immediately visible by the telltale dark circles around the eyes. Make sure you get your six-eight hours of beauty sleep. Some people need more and some people need less. Skin revives itself when you sleep. This means eight to 10 hours each night, not five hours one night and 11 hours the next.

-- If you are suffering from insomnia or chronic fatigue - something very common during menopause, consult your doctor and along with medical help, follow the daily treatment given below.

-- A nutritious diet also goes a long way in preventing dark circles. It is found that insufficient iron, which causes anaemia, is also responsible for dark circles. So, to get rid of those dark circles or prevent them, include the following in your diet.

Eat a green leafy vegetable daily.
If you are a non-vegetarian, include liver and egg - especially yolk in your diet.
Iron supplement in the form of tablets can also be taken.
Figs, sultanas are also good sources of iron.
Wheat contains more iron than rice; so include wheat at least once a day in your diet.
Drink plenty of liquids, six-ten glasses of water per day. Moisture is the key to complexion.
-- Stress, mental and physical, also increases dark circles. To relax, close your eyes. Squeeze the juice from grated cucumber; dip a cotton pad and place it on your eyes. Put on some soothing music, lie down and just' shut your mind or think of all the good things that you have experienced. Dark circles also increase if you have been watching too much TV or working on the computer for long.

Tips for treatment at home for dark circles under eyes

At bedtime, cleanse the skin around the eyes using a herbal cleanser by applying it on the areas and wiping it off very gently with moist cotton. Apply an almond based under eye cream around your eyes. Remove with moist cotton after 10 minutes. Cream should not be left on the skin around the eyes when you sleep, or for long periods. For day time you can try the following:

Make a powder of almond and store in an airtight bottle. In the morning, make a paste with milk and apply around the eyes. Keep it on for 10-15minutes and wash with water. Take care not to pull or drag the skin around the eyes. Some parlours do a special under eye treatment and you could try that too.

Specially formulated masks containing seaweeds are also available for the purpose. It has a revitalising effect when applied under the eyes. When it dries, wash off with water. This should be used once a day.

Fresh air and exercise

Oxygen is vital to your skin. It has been observed that if you are continuously breathing in stagnated stale air (for example, if you work for 12hours in an air-conditioned office) you are prone to dark circles. To offset this, take a half-an-hour daily brisk walk and do some deep breathing exercises. This will do you as much good as an expensive under eye treatment.

How to Apply Smokey Eye Make Up


Here is the tip :

The right eye make up can help in creating magic and getting attention to your eyes. Whether it is the right shade of eye shadow or skillfully applied mascara, the application of eye makeup is critical to your overall makeup routine. Use skillful techniques to hide flaws and play up the best part of your eyes.

You must choose a good concealer. Always choose one shade lighter than your skin tone and completely cover any dark circles. Since the smokey eye is very dark, you want to be certain you have good coverage here.


With a black eye pencil, draw a line along the upper lashes. Start thin at the inner corner of the eye gradually getting thicker as you work your way out.


As close to the lower lash line as possible, draw a thin line. You can stop either one third of the way in or take it all of the way in to the inner corner. It all depends on how dramatic of a look you want. Play around with both and see what looks best on you.How to Apply Smokey Eye Make Up


Select your color. Violets and blues are good for brown eyes and grays, browns or blues are good for blue eyes. You’ll need three colors of the same shade, a highlight that is a shimmer and flesh toned, a mid-tone that is a matte and a shade darker than your skin tone and a contour color in a matte or shimmer that is the darkest color you’ll use.


Apply the highlight, or the lightest color, directly on your brow bone down to the crease of your eye. Dab a bit of the highlight color in the duct of each eye.How to Apply Smokey Eye Make Up


Put the mid-tone on your eyelid. Start at your eyelashes and work your way up to the crease of your eye, blending with the highlight color.


With black liquid eye liner, draw a line on top of the black eye pencil. This gives it staying power.


Coat top and bottom lashes with two coats of black mascara.

Do It Yourself Nail Care

Long nails are great to look at but nails of just the right length would be ideal. Cut and trim your nails with a nail cutter based on your desired length. Toe nails though are better if they are snipped short.Do It Yourself Nail Care

The nail cutter does not all the time give straight cuts so refine your nail’s cut with the use of either a nail file or emery board whichever one you have. It is best to file in one direction instead of going back and forth which have the tendency to cause your nail to break. The direction of filing should be from the outside towards the center. A square cut that is somewhat oval in shape as well is ideal to avoid ingrown nails which can be very painful.

To remove unwanted cuticle, rub a solution of cuticle remover and gently push it with a pusher. If you know how to use a nipper, you can slowly cut them as well but you have to be extra careful because an incorrect way may cause infections. It is best to have your cuticles cut by a professional. Soaking your fingers and toes with the cuticle remover in warm water helps speed up the softening of your cuticles.

Before any color application a base coat is important to help protect your nails as well as prevent it from absorbing the color. Before applying nail color rub the bottle between your palms to prevent clumps. Apply a first coat allow to dry before doing another coat. Prevent smudges by applying nail color in a single direction. A topcoat is then applied to help maintain the shine as well as prevent chipping
