It’s not enough to be beautiful on the outside. Healthy skin, hair and fingernails also need a little help from the inside. We looked at the labels of two nutritional supplements: Nail, Hair & Skin Connection from Rainbow Light, and Skin, Hair & Nails from Natrol to compare their contents. Both have vitamins A, B6, B12, and C, thiamine, riboflavin, biotin, zinc, copper, and methyl sulfonyl methane (MSM). Natrol has Vitamin E, cysteine for elasticity, and glutathione to fight against free radicals, while Rainbow Light is stronger on its B vitamins and mineral-rich botanicals. Both recommend two caps a day. If you’re already taking in supplements, don’t expect a major change.

We’ve been told again and again, acne is a part of adolescent life and nothing much can be done about it (till maybe someone invents a time machine that would allow you to skip that stage of life). But the world being a very biased and judgmental place, bias towards teens who do have acne and sometimes severe cases are still suffering from taunts and psychological despair that leads them to avoid a healthy and normal life. The human psyche is so fragile that anyhing wrong within is caught on by the body and manifested commensurately, stress leads to depression and more serious illnesses. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder buy true beauty comes from within.

In a first with the cosmetics industry and independent study has found that the product, Boot’s No7 Protect & Perfect Intense Beauty Serum, is really what it claims to be. We call it a first for seldom does the cosmetics industry allow such testing and real-world evaluation of it’s products that are more or less tested within their own laboratories. Dermatologists from the University of Manchester have found that the said product in question, does indeed work as claimed, proof of the much hyped advertising, it works, for real. Not all cosmetics undergo such public a testing due to secretive and cut-throat research into the many beauty products that are worth billions every year.

Most dry shampoos that are used for heavily styled hair (washing ruins those expensive curls and styling) come in either spray form (why dry?) that sends it all over the place, on your face, clothes and many other places that it ruins and can affect. So why not go for some really dry shampoo that kinda looks like dried up shoe polish complete with a brush on top so spread the mixture all over your hair. The best thing is that the powder form gets more of the stuff into the roots of your hair follicles rather than everywhere else wasting a lot of the product that should otherwise be on your scalp. It comes in two shades, light and dark. The lighter shade is suited for blond hair and the darker shade is suited for other hair types (dark). Read the rest of this entry »

Eye shadows have been used since ancient times to enhance the eyes and to bring focus towards the expressive windows into the soul. For those with ivory complexions, neutral shades as well as blue-greens. reddish-browns and cool purple hues work best highlighting the eyes on an otherwise bright face toning down your skin tone. Beige skin, use taupe, greens, warm brown’s, deep plums and tawnie’s work in the same way. For darker skin tones or bronze skin, use darker and bolder shades avoiding bright ones that would look artificial and unnatural.

Like any woman, lipsticks seldom get worn out before you get tired of the shade or the trends make them a thing of the past. If you have several tubes of formerly favorite shades and colors, why not try to make a unique blend by cutting off some stubs (two or more), placing them in a microwave safe container and heating them till they melt. You know those small bottles with metal caps that once contained some face cream, they make good containers for such stuff and apply with a brush or with your fingers. Transfer it while still warm so it pours easy, let cool and use as regular lipstick with a brush or with your fingers. Who knows, you might just get a unique shade you can’t buy from the store.

To minimize wrinkles we should always be conscious of how you touch your face. When we are washing our face as much as possible do not scrub vigorously. Harsh, hard, or vigorous movements and touches can stretch and pull at the skin in an adverse way. Like when we dry our face pat it dry, rather than rubbing a cloth up and down. When we apply makeup use brushes rather than your fingers. It applies makeup with a light, easy touch, which means less stress and tugging for your skin. When you use your finger, there is more pressure exerted on the skin, even if it feels minute to you. Cleansing our face regularly and ensure that we removed ALL makeup is very important to prevent wrinkles.

誰でも、程度の差はあるにせよ、自分の外見を気にしています。 肌は、外見を左右する決定要因です。 睡眠中に、肌の修復プロセスが働くため、欠乏すると目の回りのくま、そして/または、目の下の腫れを強調して外見を悪化しかねません。 また、吹き出物を増やすことにもなりかねません。
