Beauty Tips

  

• When gets up in the morning, do not wash off the oil which you get on your face, specially around your nose and chin, rather spread this oil from your nose to all over face in upward strokes. It’s the natural oil, which your body produces and is very good for one’s skin to keep it young and supple. After that you can wash your face but without soap. First face wash of the morning should be just with water.
• Fill water in your mouth and then splash water on your face and on eyes. It’s a kind of exercise.
• Drink 2 glass of lukewarm water in the morning empty stomach with a spoonful of honey and lemon juice added to it. It’s good to clean your stomach, and detoxify the toxins. With the consumption of this skin starts glowing within a month.
• Cut off the use of  saturated drinks. Stop eating much of junk and fried food, which spoils the body and damages the skin.
• Rather drink lots of water at least 8-10 glasses of water in a day. Fresh juices and even buttermilk is good to keep you fit and healthy.
• Try to walk whenever you get an opportunity. Exercise is must for a healthy mind, body and skin. If your schedule is too busy to get time to workout then get it this way. Try to climb stairs then taking lift. Park your car a little more away from your destination so that you will have to walk.
• Always sit in a right posture and keep your abs muscles tight. It will strengthen your tummy muscles and make it look flatter.
• Always breathe properly. The correct breathing pattern makes surprising difference to your body and skin. When inhale air should reach till abdomen and when exhale you should feel light in your abdomen.
• Always add green fresh salads with your meals. This will reduce the quantity of food calories you are eating and will help you remain fit.
• Consume more of fruits and vegetables with a balanced healthy diet.
• Do wash face often but not every time with soap. If you are working keep wiping off your face with wet tissues.
• Whenever in the kitchen, you can rub lemon peel from the pulp side on your face to get rid of the grease and can apply any fruit juice on face with a cotton roll. You can wash it off after few minutes.

Hair Care Tips

HAIR CARE TIPS

Here are some tips that could help you stretch your beauty budget

Go to a hair dresser that has a salon built onto her house. Her prices should be very reasonable. Check the price of a color,haircut, deep conditioning and a blow dry.

Choose a style that lasts a while between cuttings and doesn't require a lot of styling products.

Choose hairstyles to work with rather than against your hair type.

To make my shampoo go further, keep an empty bottle in the shower next to the current bottle of shampoo you are using. When you are ready to lather up, squirt a SMALL amount of shampoo into the empty bottle and then add a 'shot' of water and shake it lightly. This distributes the shampoo over your hair more evenly, while using less. It also lathers up much faster than doing it the conventional way.

Collect complimentary and sample bottles and packages of hair care products and send them along when going on short trips. This is especially good for kids who tend to forget to bring things home.

Find a beauty school or college in your area. For simple perms and cuts, they are just fine and much less expensive then the traditional salon.

Give up perms, hair-coloring and highlighting. Let your hair grow to below your shoulders and get a friend to trim it straight across every few months. Trim your own bangs, if you have them. Long hair can be worn down, in a ponytail, in a braid, in a French braid, or up in a bun. It doesn't have to be blown dry or curled or set. And without chemicals, coloring, and heat, it can repair itself and look shiny and healthy. Beautiful! Easy! Feminine! Cheap!

Instead of using the expensive detangle products from the store, make a homemade version using 1 part conditioner to 10 parts water. Then put it into a recycled pump hair spray bottle. It works wonderfully.

Most hair does not benefit from daily washing with shampoo or from being washed twice in one bathing as some shampoo manufacturers suggest. Actually, doing these things can dry out your hair and scalp and make them prone to other problems. Find the least expensive shampoo that works for your hair, and use it only as often and in the quantity that is necessary to keep your hair healthy and manageable.

SKIN CARE TIPS

After applying the foundation, the next step is color. To use cream blush, dot on the apples of the cheeks. Don't forget to "smile" and blended back towards the ear so it looks real. Then dot a little on the lips, color permitting and even on the eyelids, blended of course.

If you really want to feel healthier and younger, a dewy look that's believable is the key. Are you happier with powdered blush? Then apply cream blush first on cheeks, and then a little bit of colored blush on top. This will take longer, but by setting with blush rather than powder, you can check off a step.

Eye Care Tips

Apply your eye shadow on wet. Use toner that is alcohol free, an Eyeliner Sealer or just plain old water. Use a sponge applicator or an eye shadow brush to brush on a light layer of toner/water across the eyelid or in the crease over the eye shadow. The trick is to mist the eye shadow, not drench it. Or you can dampen the applicator/brush first, then pick up your color. That way, you avoid drenching the product and possibly even ruining it. Also, this will insure that you will pick up the right amount of color.

13 Assumptions We Make About Pretty Women

Have you ever met a drop-dead, gorgeous, this-person’s-face-could-launch-a-thousand-ships woman? Then you may dig this article I read on The Gloss called “Do You Ever Hate Women Because They’re Beautiful?” Jennifer Wright sees a Victoria’s Secret model coming out of her apartment building (she either lives there or has a friend/partner there) and of course the doorman and men in the lobby are falling over themselves. “And my first thought,” Wright writes, “was ‘f**k you, bitch, I hate you.’”

OK, it’s not the most sensitive — or rational — of responses. (Wright acknowledges it’s “a stupid, pre-feminist cliche to hate someone because they’re prettier than you are.”) Jealousy makes us feel this way, of course. But I think those of us who have “I hate you” moments also make a lot of assumptions about beautiful women.

I checked with my fellow Frisky bloggers and here’s some of the assumptions we’ll cop to having made about the Giseles, Angelinas, and Tyras of the world:

1. She’s dumb.
2. Anything she’s accomplished, it was because she’s pretty.
3. She’s confident.
4. She can have any guy she wants!
5. She’s straight.
6. She barely eats to maintain her perfect figure.
7. She’s never had her heart broken.
8. She’s never lonely.
9. She’s boring and has nothing interesting to say.
10. She looks just like that when she wakes up in the morning.
11. She always flies first class.
12. That guy is only with her because she’s hot, not because she could be a really nice person or hilariously funny.
13. She thinks she’s beautiful

Of course, that Victoria’s Secret model in Wright’s building could have a chronic disease, or a parent who is dying, or a painful love life. We simply don’t know: we just assume her life is perfect because she has the type of body society tells us we’re supposed to want.

Lips Care

Lipstick

Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips. There are many varieties of lipstick. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women. It is usually not worn until adolescence or adulthood.

History

Women in the ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied lipstick to their lips for face decoration.Ancient Egyptians extracted purplish-red dye from focus-align, 0.01% iodine, and some bromine Mannie, which resulted in serious illness. Cleopatra had her lipstick made from crushed carmine beetles, which gave a deep red pigment, and ants for a base.

During the Islamic Golden Age the notable Arab Andalusian cosmetologist Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis) invented solid lipsticks, which were perfumed stocks rolled and pressed in special molds, and he described them in his Al-Tasrif.In Medieval Europe, lipstick was banned by the church and was thought to be used as an ‘incarnation of Satan’,cosmetics being ‘reserved’ for prostitutes. Lipstick started to gain popularity in England the 16th century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, who made piercing red lips and bright white faces a fashion statement. By that time, lipstick was made from a blend of beeswax and red stains from plants.

Although like most makeup its open use fell from favour in Victorian times, by at least 1912 fashionable American women had come to consider lipstick acceptable: though an article in the New York Times advised on the need to apply it cautiously.Complete acceptance in England may have been slower, but appears to have arrived for the fashionable Londoner at least by 1921.

Beauty Guidance

10 best beauty tips

We’ll make this quick: you’re time starved, and you’re looking for ways to get out the door looking pretty and polished that take a hot minute. Or you’re just really, really lazy. Either way, we feel you. Here are 10 time savers to get you gorgeous so you can save more minutes for living a beautiful life.

1. Tinted Moisturizer with SPF. With one swipe, you get hydrated skin, a sheer wash of color, and protection from the ultimate ager, the sun.
2. Convertible color. Instead of juggling separate lipsticks, blush, and eye shadow, choose a single chubby stick or pot of color that prettifies all over.
3. Brighten eyes. Use a bit of highlighter on the inner corners of your eyes and coat lashes with a glossy, lengthening mascara for a bright-eyed look. Also try using a white eye pencil on the inner rims of eyes.
4. Conditioner as shaving cream. Coat the bottom half of your strands with conditioner, and while it’s doing the work of penetrating your dry strands with moisture, use another squirt to shave your legs.
5. Fix a self-tanner gaffe. Dip a cotton ball in lemon juice and run over streaky areas — lemon juice is a natural exfoliator and skin lightener.
6. Super fast dry hair. Blow dry your hair from underneath, rather than aiming the nozzle at the top strands first. Flip your head over or clip top layers up.
7. 2-in-1. Use a combo cleanser and toner on your face, hydrating body washes in the shower (so you can skip lotion), exfoliating body washes, and a shampoo-conditioner combo.
8. Basic hair with a boost. You only have time for a ponytail or bun. Dress it up with a headband, tease a little volume at the crown, add a blingy barrette, or wrap a piece of your own hair around the ponytail holder for some polish points.
9. Make a blow-out last. Sleep with it in a high, loose ponytail and dust with dry shampoo when it starts to look a little greasy.
10. Nice nails. When you step out of the shower, rub a bit of olive oil into the nail bed and cuticles to heal delicate, raggedy skin.

How to Look Pretty

Sometimes I wonder if women prefer to look pretty for men, other women,

society, out of habit, out of expectation, or for themselves. I believe that

everybody, men and women, should care about their looks for themselves.

Yes, a few compliments here and there are always welcome, but dressing

for the compliments, is simply stupid, right! Anyways, whatever your

reasons may be, I – thy humble writer, am here to help you look pretty.

How to Look Pretty: Step 1
So, you are rushing to get to work, college or school. You are running

out of time and you overslept. I would call that the perfect catastrophe

for people who take time to get dressed, but like to be punctual. For

such people who want to know how to look pretty, fast! Well, it is

simple, make sure you comb your hair well. No knots and everything

in place. Wash your face well and brush your teeth. Take a shower

and use a good deodorant or perfume. Put on clothes that suit you,

and that you are comfortable in. Wear your gorgeous smile, and

head off to your destination.

How to Look Pretty: Step 2
Isn’t it just disastrous when you have just woken up and walked out

of your door to take your paper. At that serendipitous time is when

the neighborhood’s hottie and your latest crush also decides to walk

out and see you. Now, if you had flawless skin and good hair, you

would have really not worried about it, right? So, how to always

look pretty? Here’s one very simple beauty tip; Don’t do anything

to look pretty. All women are born with a beautiful face, you are no

exception. So, stop trying so hard to look pretty and give your true face

a chance to work the magic. Keep your skin clean and healthy.

How to Look Pretty: Step 3
Do you think that no matter how well you are dressed, and no matter

how expensive your jewelry, you will look pretty with a frown on

your face? I don’t think so, a personal survey recently established

that even if a woman wears the best clothes or frequents the most

happening places, she will not be considered pretty if she does not

smile and greet people well. Smile when you greet people, and treat

everyone with respect and love. Talk with love and make sure you

smile and laugh.

Waist Exercises

9 Habits that will shrink your middle

1. Calm down. Too much stress can contribute to a potbelly. Stress

increases levels of cortisol, a hormone that seems to direct fat to our

middle, says Dr. Natasha Shahid, PhD, of the National Institute of

Public Health in Bilthoven, Netherlands. To keep levels low, try this

5- to 10-minute stress reducer: Find a quiet, comfortable place to

sit. Next, take several slow, deep breaths to help clear your mind.

Continue breathing deeply and repeat the word one to yourself as

you exhale.

2. Skip the alcohol for a week or so. That glass of wine with

dinner may be part of the reason your jeans are too tight. Alcohol

also tends to raise cortisol levels, sending fat to your belly,

Dr.Natasha Shahid says.

3.Stop smoking. “It keeps me thin,” proclaim many smokers.

But the truth is that smokers tend to have more abdominal fat

than nonsmokers, says Natasha. (The stress hormone cortisol

seems to be the culprit here too.) “When people stop smoking,

the amount of abdominal fat actually decreases,”Dr Natasha

Shahid Of America says.

4. Eat more fiber. Not only is fiber great for overall weight loss

(it fills you up so you don’t eat as much), but it also prevents

constipation, which can cause your tummy to bulge, says

Lawrence J. Cheskin, MD, a gastroenterologist and director of

the Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center in Baltimore.

To stay regular, aim for 22 to 25 g of fiber a day by eating more

whole grains, fruits, and vegetables.

5. Drink up. For premenstrual bloating, drink lots and lots of water.

This will actually help flush away bloating, not make it worse.

6. Keep bones strong. Osteoporosis can lead to fractured bones

in your spine, causing you to slump. That shortens your abdominal

cavity, giving your belly no place to go but out, says Dr.Natasha Shahid.

MD, psychiatrist in chief emeritus at the New York Hospital-Cornell

Medical Center in New York City. Be sure to get 1,000 mg of calcium

every day from the foods you eat and/or from supplements.

7. Get your heart rate up. All the ab exercises in the world won’t

do a thing unless you get rid of the fat hiding your abdominal muscles.

The best way is to do aerobic exercise for 45 to 60 minutes,

5 times a week.

8. Tuck your tummy. Imagine there’s a magnet pulling your belly

button back toward your spine. Practice the tuck until it becomes

comfortable, and soon it will come naturally–like breathing. Do

it every chance you get.

9. Get a bonus ab workout. Stand as much as possible when

doing weight-lifting exercises. That way your abs work too. “They

help to balance and stabilize your body,” says Tammy Strunk, an

Emmaus, PA, fitness instructor. Concentrate on keeping your abs

tight and maintaining good posture, but don’t ho;d your breath.

Fit Body Tips

7 Tips To Gain A Fit Body

A beautiful body is what women long for. No matter whether it is

Hollywood or anywhere else, this has always remained a trend.

But there are many right ways of exercising programs for women

who are looking for effective losing of fat.

Strength training is one growing and most effective form of exercise

among women. Besides fat loss, it also assists in several

other benefits. This includes increase in bone density with

restoration, metabolic density, mass increase and lean muscles,

improved balance, injury prevention, recovery and rehabilitation,

coronary disease prevention, delayed aging process, sports

performance improvement along with figure and look enhancement.

Always consult your doctor before you begin with any strength

training program. This would ensure you with proper fitness along

with required safety. Planning out routines for your fitness program

is factually the trickiest of all among anything else. However,

if you make sure to follow the fitness guidelines provided by

your instructor, then you could undoubtedly increase the

chances of being successful in your fitness routine.

1. Always know that muscle can never be strength trained within

a day. A minimum of at least 24 to 36 hour allocation needs to

be followed. Muscle injury, fatigue and overtraining can take

place if exercising is done on consecutive days.

2. Instant weight loss in never possible. For an instance excess

stomach fat cannot be lost overnight, simply by doing 100

crunches at a stretch. Tummy flab cannot disappear with such

ease. Total reduction of fat in your body should be done initially

by good rest, eating well and of course proper exercise.

3. Toning the body cannot be done at an instance. A step

wise procedure needs to be followed. Always concentrate on

a single muscle group. As you get through with that you can

proceed towards your next target. You can also consider using

machines than simply using weights freely.

4. Strength training programs need to be regular and consistent

for ensuring successful results. Make it a point to know that

the weight you have gained was a many-years process and

hence losing the same could take time too. You need a change

in your lifestyle while you are in strength training. Replacing

good habits with bad ones is mandatory.

5. Every 4-6 weeks changes are required in strength training.

This would essentially prevent the body from getting bored and

also make work outs very interesting. Changes in intensity

levels and methods of exercise are very essential. Constant

routines at times stop to produce the desired results. It is

implied to grow from the everyday workout.

6. Specific objectives are a must so that the strength training

programs are created accordingly. It could include adding bulk,

hypertrophy, maintaining weight or even fat loss. Optimal results

would vary based on your desired objective. There would be wide

variation if you are choosing to lose body fat, when compared to

increasing bulk in the muscles. Keep the right goals to structure

the best fitness strength training program.

7. Any regular routine must work out all the major muscles at least

one to 3 times in a week. This would include chest, shoulders,

triceps, biceps, calves, quads, abs, gluts and hamstring. It would

create an imbalance if any one among the muscle group is

missed out.

A decent effective strength training program could be built among

women who follow the right guidelines in a dedicated manner.

It is always safe to have a safe and healthy body. Always be

ready to get that exquisite shape you always wondered about.
