Exfolation of the Body- Sunbath

The first and foremost thing that you need to do after a sun bath or after you are out of the pool is, exfoliating the body. This is because as soon as you dip in the pool, the chlorine in the water will lighten your impressive tone and makes it darker.  So as soon as you are out of the pool go to shower and gently exfoliate your body with a body scrub. It will help buff away the over saturated color of your body. You can also boost its result by applying coconut or almond oil to your skin 10 minutes before you take shower. Oil pats the skin and makes it more flexible for exfoliation. Remove Streaks Streaks or spots are as a result of not using the correct formula of self-tanner. To slough away those streaks or spots go to shower and exfoliate with a scrub that contains fine beads. These beads will not strip or tear of the skin, but will help you to get the even color for your skin. Try for oatmeal formula opposed to a sugar scrub. After using it and once the skin is dry, apply a l...

How to Shampoo-Free Your Hair

Shampoo is made to cleanse your locks of leftover hairsprays, gels, and other unwanted residue that builds up on your scalp and hair shafts. It’s been used for hundreds of years for this purpose, and has become an essential part of men, women, and children’s bathing routines. This being said, most people don’t think that they can do without using shampoo to clean their hair. Unfortunately, shampoos that are frequently used in this day and age are causing more harm than good to both your scalp and hair strands.

Why You Don’t Need a Shampoo The natural oil that your scalp produces is very important since it keeps you hair hydrated.

Wearing Jewellery- Look Younger

Jewellery can make us look younger, older, married, unmarried, classy or frumpy, so pick your pieces with care. Jewellery lasts a lifetime, and so one should not buy it on impulse. Many of us have some jewellery lying around at home, that we don't much care for and hardly ever wear. So instead of buying new jewellery, the next time around consider melting your gold to make something different. You can make something completely trendy and very wearable. Isn't it better that you convert the gold into something new, rather than leave it hanging around in the locker. Also, avoid the urge to buy numerous trinkets. Many of us spend far too much money on little things like tiny rings or little pendants. Instead of wearing a little ring on each finger, it makes more sense to invest that money in a single, bigger ring. Rings on each finger suit teenagers more than someone in their late twenties or thirties. For your daughter Opt for silver jewellery for your teenage daughter. ...

A Clean Breast

Are your breasts too big Or too small Here are some simple tips to sort out all your cleavage issues. Are your breasts too big Or too small Whatever your peeve, there is a solution, and no it doesn't involve surgery or exercise or anything else that seems to be too much of a chore. Wearing the right clothes can make a world of difference to your figure, so the next time you go shopping, keep these pointers in mind so you know what to look for. Big Breasts Don't wear turtle-necked or round-necked (high) tops. They tend to widen the gap between your neck and breasts, so it looks as though your breasts are low and large. Tight turtle-neck sweaters do the same. Instead, opt for tops with V-necks or with low round necks. These tops make your breasts look a little smaller. Stay away from shirts or tops with pockets on the chest. They will enhance your breasts, making them look bigger. Go in for sports bras. They tend to flatten breasts and also reduce the bounce, so if yo...

LOOK TALLER

First of all, let me begin by saying that being short does not go against the concept of 'beauty' as defined by society. It is absolutely fine to look short. Shorter people are cute, cuddly and come across as lovable and huggable! Good things do come in small packages. However, if you feel you would still like to add a few more inches to your height, don those three-inch stilettos and read on. Monochrome outfits Opt for a single colored outfit. Don't try and pair a blouse with contrast trousers, as once a colour break is introduced it cuts down your height, making you look shorter. A single colour from top to bottom adds to the illusion of height. You could add a second colour to your ensemble by accessorizing it. Wear a scarf around your neck or carry a contrasting handbag. Add still more pizzaz to your monochromatic outfit by contrasting fabrics and textures. Blue denim with a blue satin blouse, brown leather pants with a brown chiffon blouse. Accessories Wear a s...

SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY

SCENTS AND SENSIBILITY It is always nice to smell good, and smelling good makes you more attractive. In addition, the knowledge that you smell good makes you more confident and makes you feel better. In fact, perfume ranks highest for its feel-good factor! Read on. Pulse points Perfume should be sprayed on the pulse points. There are five pulse points: the insides of the wrists, the insides of the elbows or the crook of the arms, the insides of the knees, the nape of the neck and just behind the ears. Unless you want to smell overwhelmingly potent, don't spray strong perfume on all the pulse points. Only do so if you are wearing a very mild perfume. Ideally, don't always spray perfume on the same pulse points every time. If you spray perfume on your wrists for example, spray them on the crook of your arms another time, and on the inside of your knees and the nape of your neck a third time. Though perfume is certainly not proven to harm your skin in any way unless you...

STRETCH MARKS

STRETCH MARKS Stretch marks are the result of sudden body changes such as puberty, pregnancy or weight gain or loss where the skin stretches out to accommodate the body changes. The best way to combat stretch marks is to prevent their formation. Stretch marks, also known as Striae Gravidarum are scars that develop mainly around the arms, breasts, abdomen, thighs and buttocks. They are pink, purple or red when newly formed and turn silver or white over time. Stretch marks develop in the dermis i.e. the middle layer of the skin. Rapid or sudden weight gain is said to be the main cause of formation of stretch marks. Therefore, stretch marks are primarily the bane of pregnant women. 75 to 90% women develop stretch marks during pregnancy. The main cause of stretch marks is excessive production of the hormone, cortisone, during pregnancy. Collagen, a protein, helps keep the skin supple. Cortisone decreases the level of collagen present in the skin leading to development of stretch m...
