Diet control

2008-12-18T08:41:00.000-08:00

I have gained so much weight. I am going on a diet”Hold it! Do you even know what a diet is? I don’t think most people know what the word diet means. The word diet means the things which we eat and drink. Going on a crazy diet won’t make you lose weight but instead makes you weak and you might even end up in the hospital. You wouldn’t want that to happen, would you? I don’t think so. So, follow these five simple steps and you will lose weight and won’t end up in the hospital either.Eat healthy: The first step towards a healthy body is to eat healthy. Don’t take in too much starch or fats. Eat food containing less cholesterol. Eat all classes of food; even those yucky greens, which many of you despise, because they contain your daily energy supply and don’t even make you fat.Exercise daily: It is the best way to keep fit and it burns down extra fat. You should exercise regularly. Every one of us should exercise at least half an hour daily. Exercising will make blood flow smoother and will also give a healthy colour to your cheeks.Sleep well: It has been proven by today’s most advanced research that children who sleep less are likely to be overweight. You should take at least eight hours of sleep daily. This gives your body time to relax.Snacking in between meals: This is a major NO! Don’t snack between meals. Eat proper meals only. Eat more but don’t take a little after every few minutes. And when you are hungry what’s better than a serving of fat free fruit or vegetable? So chow down.Be active: Just don’t sit around like a couch potato, be active. Put an end to those lazy habits and if you have nothing to do then clean your house. Participate in after school activities and in different types of competitions. This will not only keep your body healthy but keep you mentally alert and fit.So, follow these few simple steps and you will be as fit as a fiddle in no time.

Pamper yourself

2008-12-18T08:35:00.000-08:00

Skin careMost people know that using sunscreen protection is essential. There are a number of ways to promote a healthy glow without exposing your skin to harmful rays. To help avoid damages to skin when playing outdoors on a hot, sunny day here are a few tips:• It is important for teenagers to begin a daily face wash regimen, which exfoliate the skin of all the excess skin cells and oils.• Apply sunblock on all parts of body that are exposed to sun, before going out.• The skin around the eyes is 10 times thinner than the skin of the rest of the face. Protect not only your eyes, but also the skin around them by wearing sunglasses that block 90 per cent to 100 per cent of the sun’s ultraviolet rays.Now that you know how to protect the outer skin, it’s time to start thinking about what you can do to obtain a healthy glow from the inside out. Instead of using harmful chemical products, the best way to obtain a healthy glowing skin is the natural way, i.e. doing some form of exercise, which gets the blood circulating and delivers fresh oxygen to the skin all over your body.The next step is to drink plenty of water. Outdoor play or exercise, especially in the summer, increases your risk of dehydration. This is one risk you don’t want to take since it not only affects your performance and robs your skin of vitality, but it may also be potentially hazardous to your health.Be sure to drink fluids before, during and after physical activity. To replenish your fluids after any outdoor activity, weigh yourself before you participate and then weigh again after. Any weight you lost is water and should be replaced by drinking two glasses of water for every pound you have lost.Hair careSunrays are not only harmful for your skin but summer sun and humidity can also damage your hair’s cuticle and result in dry, drab, split, brittle or frizzy hair and ends.Hanging out in the sun without protection for your hair and scalp is the worst thing you can do. Use leave in hair products with SPF protection when you go outside or wear a hat or scarf to cover your hair.Consider washing your hair less often during the summer months to allow your hair to absorb more moisture. When possible, finish with a cool to cold rinse to seal the hair cuticle and impart natural shine.Don’t be careless about your trims. Make sure you have the ends trimmed every six to eight weeks during the summer months. When your ends are frizzy, it’s a sure sign that they are either damaged, split or both.PedicureA great pedicure will have you feeling confident about baring your feet this summer, or wearing your favourite sandals.Everyone knows that a good pedicure involves giving your feet a soak. But before that don’t forget to file your nails. Start by removing old nail polish with an acetone-free formula (keeps nails from getting dry and brittle). Follow the natural curve of your nails when filing.After soaking, apply a soothing lotion to your feet before bedtime, slip on the socks, and go to sleep. They work much the same way as the heated mitts for your hands. The overnight therapy works extra magic. In the morning, your feet will be as soft as silk!ManicureGo for the French manicure this summer. A French manicure is a style of polishing the nails wherein white paint is applied to the tips of the fingernails, and the rest of the nails are given a pink coat or painted with sheer polish that is coloured either pale pink or very light beige. The French manicure is very good for short and moderate nail length.

Holiday Beauty Tips From International Make-Up Artist and Fashion Guru William Squire

2008-12-18T08:34:00.000-08:00

LOS ANGELES, CA, Dec 16, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Wondering how to look dazzling for holiday gatherings? International make-up artist, fashion guru, professional model, agent, author and Your Signature Style host William Squire provides tips to make you sparkle.
To kick off the holidays, Squire and friends made over women at a senior center near his home in Palm Springs, then presented them and the male residents with gifts and a holiday party. "Everyone wants to look their best, no matter what their age is," says Squire. "To glow this holiday season, think glimmer, shimmer and shine!" he adds, along with these tips:
1. With colder weather upon many parts of the country, you may need a heavier cream or a moisture mask, such as Lancome's Aqua Fusion Continuing Infusing Moisturizer.
2. For a flawless-looking complexion, apply foundation with a brush in small downward strokes, continuing down to the neck. I love MAC's foundation brush #190 and Kevyn Aucoin's Liquid Airbrush Creme Foundation.
3. For a spectacular glow, try Chanel's Poudre Precieuse Gold Highlighting Powder with Brush, Yves Saint Laurent's Touche D'or Golden Touch for the Face or your favorite gold dust.
4. Drama and dazzle starts with the eyes; silver, gold and metallic eye shadows are all the rage. Go light or heavy, no rules apply: just be sure to blend well. NARS single eye shadows in Silent Night or Bombshell are perfect for every festive occasion. Now's the time to pull out your black eyeliner and go wild. Go heavier along the top of the lashes and toward the outer corner, and a bit softer under the eye for the perfect smoky eye. Follow with two coats of black mascara.
5. Always wanted to try false eyelashes but are intimidated? Buy some individual lashes and clear eyelash glue (don't get white). Use tweezers to dip the ends in a small amount of glue and place on outer corners of lashes and hold for a moment. Three or four lashes make a huge impact.
6. This time of year is perfect for red lipstick and nail polish. Just make sure that the red on your nails is in the same color family as the red on your lips. Great alternatives to red polish are white, beige, gold or soft-pink pearlized colors, such as Chanel's Le Vernis in Perle Rose. For great reds, OPI's Red Hot Gift and Little Red Wagon are among my favorite polishes.
7. Unsure of which season to wear -- fabrics like silk, taffeta, organza, crepe de chine, tulle, satin or velvet? The time is now. Put the jeans aside and dress up. Pull out that stunning black velvet jacket, cocktail dress or dressy slacks instead. Black and dark hues are worn in abundance: mix it with head-to-toe winter white, or mix in taupes, grays and browns. Wear jewelry that sparkles and shines -- cocktail rings, costume jewelry, big earrings and pins.
8. For a final touch dab pure perfume, like Nuit de Noel by Caron, on your pulse points. Perfume is actually lighter than eau d' toilette, which contains alcohol that gives it a stronger smell.
"Now all that's left to do is exude confidence, have fun and know that no one else in the world has the same beauty as you."
To help women find their individual style, Squire and model/author Laura Boulay co-created Your Signature Style, which Squire now presents with former supermodel, actress and beauty expert Lisa Dean. In this ninety-minute transformational program, Dean and Squire get participants on their feet so they can practice how to walk like a model, enter a room with confidence, and stand for the perfect picture. Clients include Mercedes-Benz PGA Championships, Meeting Planners International, Deloitte & Touche, Saks Fifth Avenue and the Ritz-Carlton hotels. Squire and Boulay also collaborated on the "The Model's Workbook," to provide information and tips for people who want to succeed in the modeling industry.

Proper and complete knowledge about a particular disease can be gained only by asking more and more questions to experts about it. Following are some frequently asked questions about varicose veins.
What is varicose vein?
Varicose veins are basically an abnormality in veins. The function of veins to return deoxygenated blood from different body parts to heart and lungs. The valves of vein prevent backflow of blood into the veins.
The vein’s walls are much thinner and weaker than the wall of arteries. Regular pressure over the walls ends of in a vicious cycle and worsens the veins condition. The maximum pressure if faced by the walls of veins in legs, as they have to pull the blood against the force of gravity.
The abnormally enlarges, weaken and swollen superficial veins are the varicose veins. They are red, blue or violet in color and are clearly visible near the skin. Due to varicosities, the veins become unable to return the blood to heart and lungs efficiently, as a result lot of deoxygenated blood remain back in the veins pool. Mostly this problem is prominent in women.
What are the causes of varicose veins?
The basic cause of varicose veins is still unknown, but it is definitely related to the excess pressure that falls on the walls of veins. The function of preventing the back flow of blood into the vein pool is controlled by the valves.
When any problem occurs is valves like any damage or defect, its direct effect is seen on the flow of blood. Till now it is believed that the problem in valves is the main cause of varicose veins. Other influencing factors are obesity, trauma, prolonged standing and sitting and heavy weight workout training.
What are the diagnosis steps to confirm that the condition is varicose vein?
The diagnosis of varicose veins is not a big trouble. It can be very easily identified by simple physical checkup. However, the patient is asked to undergo a Doppler ultrasound test to know the cause of varicose veins. It is a painless test just to determine the function of valves. The test can also make out the clotting of blood into the veins.
Is varicose vein a chronic and severe problem?
In maximum cases, they are just of cosmetic nuisance. Even after discovering the problem in body, one does not take proper steps, it gets worse. Not only varicose veins, but any problem gets worse without proper treatment. If varicose veins are not treated timely, it is more likely to develop in:
Mild swelling over the feet.
Dark pigmentation near the anklets.
Ulcer over the anklets
Occasional clotting of blood in the veins
Infection in veins.
The above mentioned conditions will ultimately let one end up in blocking of the vein.

Hair styles

2008-11-28T08:52:00.000-08:00

When it comes to style and beauty, hairstyles are always considered as a prominent factor. Normally haircut, hairstyles and hairdo are described as hairstyling.
Hairstyles of men and women are different from each other and so are from person to person. Hairstyles depend upon the latest trend.
Most of the people change their hair styles according to the trend and often show their social status while some maintain their same old styles.
Hairstyles mainly depend upon the shape of the face. Basic shapes of face include square, round, rectangle, oval, triangular, oblong, diamond and heart.
Depending upon the shape of face and length of hair, one can go for different hairstyles.
Hairstyle is not about just looking good but it also represents the individuality and personality of a person.
The most important factor that one should consider while selecting a hairstyle is will it suit with the personality or not. One should not select a hairstyle just because it looks gorgeous or is in the latest trend.
The basic notion behind any hairstyle should be to add vivacity and create an effect that could accentuate the best features of the person.
Most of the people find selecting an appropriate hairstyle as a laborious task. As every individual has unique face cut, hair type and hair color, selecting an appropriate hairstyle would require some basic information about hairstyles.
Fine hair has a very soft appearance that can be very appealing. One can add a little thickness to it by giving it slight layered cut. One can also put hair color to give hair more body and make them look thicker.
Course hair gives an overall heavy appearance. The hair cut according to the facial structure is very important and will also help in controlling the hair. Course hair can be given a soft texture and smooth finish by coloring.
Straight hair can be thin or thick but the perfect straight hair is shiny, conditioned and gives an ambience of iridescent sheet of hair.
Curly hair is conceivably the most versatile type of hair. One can give them a straight look with the help of hair straighteners; can adjust the natural curls by using rollers of different sizes, or can simply leave the hair on its own.
For an attractive and alluring personality, one has to have a trendy hairstyle. One can also change the hairstyle according to the occasion.

Acne

2008-11-19T09:00:00.000-08:00

Acne is a skin condition characterized by plugged pores, inflamed pimples and deeper lumps that can appear on the face, neck, chest, back and shoulders. The disorder is most common throughout the teenage years when appearance is of particular importance. Acne is rarely a serious medical condition, but it often causes emotional distress and can be upsetting to the patient.
The reason acne occurs is the sensitivity of the body towards the increased level of the male hormone testosterone, which is present in both males and females. This stimulates the oil (sebaceous) glands of the skin to enlarge and produce and excess amount of sebum (oil) – natural substance, which lubricates and protects the skin.
At the same time, acne occurs when hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells that dissociate from the inside surface of the sebaceous glands. The sebum produced by these glands accumulates with the dead skin cells in the follicle and solidify as a soft plug. This plug may cause the follicle to bulge and produce a whitehead or it may be open to the surface and darken, causing a “blackhead”. The sebum stimulates bacteria, which live on everyone’s skin and generally cause no problems, to multiply and cause surrounding tissues to become inflamed. Inflammation near the skin’s surface produces a pustule; deeper inflammation results in a papule (pimple); deeper blockages and inflammations inside follicles produce lumps beneath the surface of the skin called cysts.
Certain medications, such as oral contraceptives, antibiotics and corticosteroids can aggravate the condition of the acne. For some women, acne can be an indication of the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome or hormonal imbalance, which can lead to abnormal menstrual periods, sterility, excess hair-growth and overweight.
How to avoid scaring or other damage to the skin
Don’t pick or squeeze blemishes as this might cause infection or scarring. Cleanse the skin with a soft cotton pad, dipped in herbal infusion or ethereal oils. Touch your skin only if your hands are clean.
PROPHYLACTICS
You can avoid or control acne with good basic skin care and the following self-care techniques:
Wash problem areas with a mild cleansing bar or a gentle lotion that doesn’t dry the skin. Of the many available brands, oil-free, water-based moisturizers are generally a better choice.Ultraviolet (UV) rays in moderation are good for your skin as they can cure acne. However, keep in mind that during summer it is recommended that you avoid exposure to the sun in the period 10:00AM – 15:00PM.Carefully choose your skin products – avoid oily or greasy sunscreens, hair-styling products or skin products that contain benzoyl peroxide. Ensure that the products are labeled “noncomedogenic” or “water-based”.Try to decrease general sweating – don’t stay in places that are too hot and wear fabrics that allow the skin to “breathe”.Avoid consuming too much salt with your food. Salt causes the cells to loose water, which can aggravate the condition of the acne.Apply tea tree oil directly on the blemishes on a daily basis. If the oil is too concentrated, you can dissolve it in water.Keep your hair clean and off your face. Also avoid resting your hands or objects on your face. Some hair products such as hair-gel and hair-spray can be the reason for the condition in specific facial areas (the forehead). Stop using them for a couple of weeks to see how it affects the acne.
TREATMENT
Aromatherapy: Some ethereal oils control the production of sebum. Amongst them are the Cedar Cone oil (not recommended during pregnancy) and the Atlantic White Cedar (should be avoided during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy). Lavender and geranium oils have antiseptic and healing qualities, while those of camomile and bergamot reduce inflammation. Try the following procedures:Add 2 drops of Cedar Cone and 2 drops of Atlantic White Cedar oil in a glass of water. Apply the mixture on the skin every 2 hours.Add 2 drops of Juniper oil to a table-spoon of Jojoba or Sweet Almond oil and stir. Apply directly on the problematic skin areas.Add 2 drops of Bergamot and 2 drops of Atlantic White Cedar to 5 tea-spoons of Jojoba oil. Add the same mixture of oils to a face-cleansing lotion. Apply the oil mixture in the evening and the lotion – in the morning.
ACNE AND DIET
It is proven that acne is not caused by foods. However, it would be wise to keep a diary of the consumed foods throughout the day to determine whether some of them can cause acne.Some women experience acne if eating chocolate just before their menstrual period.
Generally people who suffer from acne have less Vitamin A in their blood, which is why foods rich in vitamin A and ?-Carotin are highly recommended. However, any vitamin intake should be closely monitored by a health care specialist.
HERBAL THERAPY
Mix dried roots from Dandelion, Burdock, Nettle, Yarrow and Echinacea and prepare a potion. Drink 1 glass once or twice a day.Boil up 2-3 tea-spoons dried basil in a glass of water. Cool the mixture and apply with a cotton pad on clean skin.Cleanse your skin once a day using a Steam bath: keep your face for about 5-10 minutes covered with a towel and above a bowl filled with hot water. Afterwards dry your skin and apply Rosewater, Black Elder water, Camomile extract or Marigold tea. A good idea is to add a couple of drops of Marigold infusion into the hot water.Dandelion, Burdock, Yarrow and Echinacea roots cure acne by reducing and eliminating the skin bacteria.
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL HELP
In case of unresponsive or severe acne or acne that is believed to be a result of an ongoing medical treatment, it is essential that you consult a primary-care physician or a dermatologist.

How To Whiten Your Teeth At Home Properly?

2008-11-19T08:57:00.001-08:00

Whitening your teeth at home is the best way to maintain a Hollywood smile. Stained teeth may easily ruin your beautiful smile and teeth stains can be very embarrassing and difficult to remove if not treated in time. Teeth discoloration may be caused by different factors but fortunately there are great whitening products that you can use at home to whiten your teeth effectively.Nowadays there are many products that are specially developed to maintain the whiteness of your teeth such as вЂ“ whitening toothpaste, whitening pens, gums, whitening strips and mouthwashes.What causes tooth discoloration?The natural aging process, some foods, bad habits like smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking too much soft drinks, poor oral hygiene, even some medications can cause tooth discolorations and stains. Drinking too much coffee, tea, red wine, smoking can easily stain your teeth if you donвЂ™t take a proper care of them. Even some medications can also affect the color of your teeth (antibiotics for example).Once you get 40 you may notice that your teeth become darker and darker but itвЂ™s something natural and normal вЂ“ simply due to the aging process. As we age the outer layer of enamel on the teeth gets worn away, revealing the yellow color of dentin. Smoking and eating certain foods (strawberries, blackberries for example ) usually stain only the surface of the teeth but with aging the staining and the discoloration may be more visible.Another very common cause of teeth staining is poor oral hygiene. If you donвЂ™t take a proper care of your teeth it may cause yellow and green stains on your teeth due to bacteria or the build-up of fungus. Brushing and flossing your teeth is essential in order to keep your teeth healthy and good-looking.
Fortunately teeth discoloration may be effectively treated with special bleaching techniques and products even at your own home for less than $50.
HOW TO WHITEN YOUR TEETH AT HOME:
Whitening toothpaste The whitening toothpastes are very effective in maintaining a bright smile. They remove stains on teeth and improve the overall appearance of your teeth and the best thing is that they donвЂ™t affect the natural color of your teeth.Whitening toothpastes can lighten your toothвЂ™s color by one or two shades, depending on the discoloration. Unlike the whitening gels used in the dentistвЂ™s office, they donвЂ™t contain bleach вЂ“ just mild abrasive chemicals to remove surface stains. Some brands offer whitening toothpastes with polishing agents and fluoride that protects your teeth against tooth decay and further stains. Whitening toothpastes should be used twice a day for approximately two months to achieve best results. DonвЂ™t use whitening toothpaste for more than two months, otherwise you may destroy tooth enamel.
At-home teeth whitening kits Teeth whitening kits are relatively new products on the marker. These kits contain bleaching gel (peroxide gel) and mouth trays. The gel contains from 1 to 10 percent carbamide peroxide to bleach your teeth as well as sodium hydroxide and glycerin.Using whitening kit is similar than having your teeth whitened at the dentistвЂ™s office but fortunately itвЂ™s much less expensive. These kits usually donвЂ™t cost more than $50.The trays included in the kit must be applied first on the upper teeth and then on the lower teeth. Other whitening kits include also whitening strips that you should apply on the surface of your teeth.The gel should be first applied to the tray and then inserted into the mouth and over the teeth. The tray usually shouldnвЂ™t be left in place for more than 30 minutes, depending on the percentage of peroxide it contains. Once the tray is placed in your mouth the bleaching ingredients will penetrate porous tooth enamel and will whiten away any discolorations. The gel wonвЂ™t change the toothвЂ™s structure, it will just lighten the tooth enamel.The results usually become apparent after the first treatments but the most noticeable effect will become evident after about 3-5 treatments. You should follow the instructions written on the box and pay special attention to the precautionary statements. Although most of the people that use whitening kits to bleach their teeth donвЂ™t experience any discomfort during the treatments, some people may experience tooth sensitivity a few days after the bleaching, but it should disappear after a day or two. At-home whitening kits usually require several times of application for best results.
Whitening strips Whitening strips are a common type of at-home teeth whitening as they lighten teeth effectively and are easy to use and convenient.Whitening strips are also effective in maintaining a bright smile and healthy teeth. They effectively remove surface stains, but they also protect the enamel from build-up of everyday stains. Most of the whitening strips are coated with a bleaching gel (peroxide-based gel) that lightens the teeth in one or two shades if used regularly. Like the whitening toothpastes, the whitening strips donвЂ™t change the toothвЂ™s structure. The strips are easy to apply and can be used twice a day for gradual whitening.Most of the whitening strips shouldnвЂ™t be left on for more than 5/ 10 minutes, otherwise it may result in tooth sensitivity or gum discomfort. The result usually becomes apparent after the first days of usage and can last up for 2/ 3 months.
Useful Tips:
Brush your teeth at least twice a day with whitening toothpaste to maintain your whitened teeth.
Unlike the teeth whitening procedures, performed by a dentist that may whiten your teeth up to 15 shades, at-home bleaching products may whiten your teeth from one to three shades, depending on the toothвЂ™s discoloration.
If your teeth are too dark and you experience much discomfort during the treatments, consider porcelain veneers on specific discolored teeth.
Baking soda can be used to whiten teeth at home but be very careful вЂ“ use only a small amount of baking soda and brush your teeth with it thoroughly twice a week.
Quit smoking in order to prevent future teeth discoloration.
ItвЂ™s essential to maintain excellent oral hygiene to maximize the longevity of the whitening treatment.
Many dentists advice to use a straw when drinking soft drinks, coffee, tea as it may increase the chance of staining.
You may experience teeth sensitivity to hot or cold after the bleaching treatment but it will fade after a few days.
The whitening gels, strips, toothpastes work only on natural teeth.
Whitening toothpastes remove only surface stains and donвЂ™t contain bleach that may change your toothвЂ™s structure.
At-home whitening products contain a lower strength-bleaching agent from 1 to 10 percent carbamide peroxide.
People with gum diseases or teeth with worn enamel shouldnвЂ™t use at-home whitening products.
The most common side effects of at-home teeth whitening are increase in tooth sensitivity and mild irritation of the soft tissues of the mouth.
When selecting a whitener always look for the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
Avoid eating sweets and sugars to prevent teeth decay.
Remember: General mouth hygiene is a must.
Get regular dental cleanings to remove food and tobacco stains.
Always consult a dentist to see which method of teeth whitening will be best for you.
Limit the intake on foods and drinks that can leave stains on your teeth.

How to apply eyeliner without too much trouble

2008-11-19T08:55:00.000-08:00

There is no room for fear or panic when we tell you that this summer’s trend in make-up includes a touch of the magnetic eyeliner.
Don’t bother trying to convince yourselves that using eyeliner is the most efficient and quick way to ruin your make-up, by turning your eyes into blurry smeared drawings, as it is simply not true. Always remember that practice makes perfect, ladies.
The secret of the “tricky” liquid eyeliner lies in the mastering of few techniques that we will graciously share with you just days before the hottest part of the summer.
Proper make-up foundation
You need to give a base coat of foundation and powder for the eye make-up to adhere to. Even if you don’t want to wear foundation, just apply it to your eyes and always use liquid eyeliner after eye shadow application.
The foundation is needed so that it can even the color of the skin around the eyes and create a smooth, oil-free surface for the make-up.
We strongly recommend that before applying the eyeliner, you slightly sweep the lightest shade across the entire area from lash line to brow. For your eyes, select eye shadows in compatible shades – you cannot go wrong with a pretty shade of white, pink, beige or peach, no matter what your skin tone is.
Choosing a brush
Forget about the thick brushes. It takes a professional to handle them properly and even they use them mostly in body art. You will achieve a far more precise and fine eye line, if you use a thin brush.
There is a wide variety of products and brands on the market so you are free to experiment with something new and compact such as liner brush.
Liner brush is an extremely thin and flat brush with thick and short hair span. Its resemblance to the drawing brushes, used by artists, turns make-up application into an easy and somewhat artistic experience.
However, this brush requires a more specific type of eye shadows –those that are long-lasting with a creamy structure and have the effect of the regular liquid liner. These shades come in a variety of nuances and can be found in almost every cosmetic store.
And finally…
Bring your eyes to a half-open state when you apply the liner as this is the only way to prevent the tremor of the eyelid muscle.
You do not need to try and apply the liquid liner all in one long line. It is highly recommended that you follow the Triple Technique, instead of spending half an hour in front of the mirror in timid attempts to sweep the brush across your eye lid.
The Triple Technique consists in painting a few small dashes onto the lash line, the inner, middle and outer corner then going back and connecting them.
If needed, go back and repeat the lines.
If you are trying to achieve the cat eye look – starting at the inner corner of your eye, slowly draw a thin line across your eyelid and extend that line past your lash line.
If you use brush liner to apply all of the abovementioned techniques, you will also achieve a sexy look, but with a far more natural effect.
Regardless of your choice of products, don’t be afraid to experiment in the privacy of your own home.

Got thirsty lips?

2008-11-19T08:51:00.000-08:00

Just as the rest of your skin, lips require constant hydration, especially during summer. Exposure to sun, high temperatures and strong wind causes the thin defensive layer of the lips to lose its moisture retention capacity. Dry, chapped and inflamed lips as a result? These are signs that the lips are thirsty.
Lips never tan because they lack melanin, but can get sunburnt if not protected. Use balm, lipstick or gloss with a sun protection factor (SPF) or a special care product. Don’t lick your lips in an attempt to moisten them as the saliva contains salts, which cause the lips to crack even more.
Lips require extra care if they are prone to peeling and cracking as this means that they are more susceptible to wrinkling as well. Ensure that you don’t have deficiency of one of the following substances: Vitamin B, iron or essential fatty acids. Don’t lick or bite your lips, because they will crack even more. Remove the dead layer of cells by massaging with a soft toothbrush. Increase your daily water intake.
The basic rule is: Always use hydrating and nourishing balms, lipsticks and glosses that have an SPF factor.

Teen Girls

2008-11-18T06:56:00.000-08:00

Makeup and clothing is an issue for many teenage girls. If you are stressing about what you should look like as a newcomer in middle school, or a freshie in high school, here's a quick guide to help your fashion mature with you throughout middle and high school.
In Sixth grade, wear lip gloss, some mascara, and maybe a little bit of pale eyeshadow; don't go too heavy or it may look bad. If you want to try out more types of makeup, keep that for home experiments. As for clothes, keep it in your comfort level. Bear this in mind: if you are wearing a bra or undershirt, don't let the straps hang out. It doesn't look cool; it just looks sloppy. If you are wearing a short shirt, check in the mirror to see if your stomach hangs out of the bottom. Otherwise, wear something a little bit longer. Also, if your pants are likely to slip, wear a belt. Belts are totally hip now! * The main point is to keep the makeup light, and the clothes clean cut.
In Seventh grade you are beginning to care a little more what you look like; you might want to try curling your hair a few days a week, and using different hairstyles besides your typical ponytail. If you are acne prone, try foundation. Remember thet even oily skin can get flaky and that looks horrible with foundation. So try it on weekends first and ask your mother (or someone that uses foundation well) if it looks okay. In Seventh grade you might want to try eyeliner. But not too much because you don't want to look like a racoon! Start trying to tie outfits together with accessories. It's good to try new things with your makeup and clothes. But when you try the new things, make sure it looks good on you, not just in the picture or at the store. Check out different stores, and find out if there is a style that suits you.
In eighth grade you are probably getting good at makeup and you know what you like. Try establishing your own hairstyle without looking like everyone else. For example, if everyone has long, layered hair with no bangs, try light wispy bangs and a shorter, layered look. You might be wearing tighter jeans now and probably starting to get concerned with impressing the guys, so it's safe to try out more mature styles such as a sleek leather blazer, or lower cut necklines. If you are happy with your sports bra, that is totally OK. But it's safe now to check out the actual bra department and wear something that makes you feel pretty - like lace.
Ninth grade: high school! This is a big transition. Now in the same world as seniors, you are going to want to look like the rest of your peers. You should by now have your makeup and hair styles already. Try to update this look a bit, because no one wants to carry the same look they had in middle school. Dramatize a detail in your hair. If its known for it's left side part, part it even deeper. Make a straight style even sleeker and hip. Learn to make youre curls tighter, or looser. In high school you might want to wear your usual make up during the day, and as you start to go out with friends and boys at night, add a darker shade of eyeliner, or jazz up your lips with something more festive. It's also good to try new shoes, try wearing spikier ankle boots with a pair of hot jeans and a blouse. Chunkier heels aren't as hip as spikes as you get older. Incorporate accessories into your outfit. Buy yourself a bag that's in suede or leather to keep your schoolbooks in, instead of a backpack. You will want to buy yourself a new jacket, and make it your own. You know what you like, so go and find clothes that fit your style, but crank it up a notch for a more mature feel.

Hand Treatment

2008-11-16T07:36:00.000-08:00

A Quick Hand Treatment
Hands are the most visible parts of you, but they also take a lot of abuse. You use them in everyday activity, and yet, they are the ultimate accessory. You must give them the same attention you give your face.
* Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rought skin while the oil seals the moisture.
* Slough off dead skin cells with a solution made of sea salt lemon. Brush it into hands with an old toothbrush. Do this twice a week to soften hands and remove discoloration.
* Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub briskly. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon honey and one teaspoon olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then in a pair of cotton gloves for thirty minutes. The heat helps the treatment penetrate.
* Warm a cup of milk in the microwave for thirty seconds (or until warm, but comfortable to the touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen fragile nails.

Beautiful Hair Highlights At Home

2008-11-16T07:33:00.000-08:00

Highlights consist of selecting small or thick strands of hair that are then lightened at least 2 shades lighter than the rest of your hair. Highlights should compliment your natural or artificial color. You should never go more than 3 shades lighter then the rest of your hair color. The object of highlighting is to give you a sun-kissed look and to bring depth and light to your overall color.
So if you want to achieve salon perfect results at home when you highlight your hair, here's what the pros say:
Use a clarifying shampoo on your hair at least two days before coloring.
Never shampoo the day you color. Haute hair
Check the expiration date on the package. And once you mix the color, use it right away!
Toss out the brush that comes in the box and buy flat 1/2 and 1/4 inch acrylic brushes. These brushes, used by artists, are available at art supply stores (they'll give you better control and more natural-looking results)
Make sure you have on hand a pair of good, tight-fitting latex gloves (the ones that come in the package don't always fit well).
Start from the back of your head and work forward. By working from back to front, you won't smear the pieces in front by having to reach over them to do the back.
Apply the highlights only to the top layers of your hair. By leaving the hair underneath alone, you'll create depth and a sun-kissed look that looks completely natural!

Beautiful Hair

How to achieve and maintain a healthy head of beautiful hair. Hair SOS
Three main things are needed for a good-looking head of hair - haute hair - good health, the right attention to cleanliness, and caution when using cosmetic treatments.
1. Adequate Diet
Hair growth depends on an adequate diet. A widespread diet problem which causes loss of hair is iron deficiency Anaemia. The cause is too little iron in blood, brought on by a diet containing too little meat, eggs, cereals or peas and beans. Fresh fruits and vegetables are also needed to provide vitamin C, which enables the body to absorb iron.
2. Cutting the hair
Although cutting the hair is not essential to its well-being, it is easier to keep the scalp clean if the hair is kept reasonably short. Regular cutting does not make the hair grow strong or faster.
3. How hair can be damaged
Although scalp hair is hardy, and can withstand a lot of abuse, it can be damaged by too much or inexpertly applied perming, dyeing - Blonde to Brunette, bleaching and massage. The amount of beautying the hair can take varies from person to person. Occasionally the scalp is allergic to the dye and becomes inflamed and swollen. To prevent this occuring, the dye should be tested by applying it to a small area on the arm. If a patch of inflammation has developed, the dye must not be used on the hair.
Most people who bleach their hair do so with hydrogen peroxide. If the peroxide is repeatedly applied, it may make the hair brittle. Hair SOS If this happens the hair may turn rough, develop split ends, or become thinned or shortened

Grooming Tips For Men

2008-11-16T07:26:00.000-08:00

We live in a time when it pays to look younger, whether it?s in the workplace or in the dating world. One of the keys to success is good grooming, experts say.
An increasing number of men are making grooming a priority because they want to maintain a youthful appearance and a winning edge. Statistics show that men in the United States are spending more than $4 billion a year on grooming products, such as haircolor and facial scrubs, driven by their desire to look and feel their best. The growth in grooming products is being fueled in part by baby boomers entering middle age.
Top Grooming Tips for Men
Get Rid the Gray Hair The fastest way to take years off of your look is to get rid of gray hair. It?s less noticeable and more natural to begin coloring your hair when you first begin to go gray. An easy-to-use product formulated specifically for men, such as Just For Men Haircolor, can be used at home to cover gray hair with natural looking results.
If your beard and mustache turns gray first, the makers of Just For Men Haircolor have a brush-in gel in a no-drip formula that?s perfect for covering facial hair.
Go Short if You?re Balding Balding is another common problem among men. Opting for a comb-over just dates your look. Get comfortable with your changing look and opt for a modern short haircut.
When men begin to lose the hair on their heads, they may begin to notice unwanted hair in other places, like their nose, ears or back. Be sure to trim or wax unwanted hair for a clean, contemporary look.
Protect and Pamper Your Skin The best way to prevent wrinkles and skin cancer is to protect your skin from sun damage by using a daily moisturizer with sunscreen.
A good daily skin care routine includes cleansing, followed by a gentle facial exfoliant scrub, which also enhances shaving ease and comfort. Follow with a moisturizer containing sunscreen for day and at night a moisturizer with AHAs to encourage skin regeneration.
Pay Attention to Hands and Feet Don?t forget to include your hands and feet in your grooming routine. Well-manicured nails and toes contribute to good hygiene and grooming habits. Make time to clip and file your nails at home.
Foot odor is a common problem among many men, and is relatively easy to treat. Scrub your feet daily and dry them completely. Insert a pair of Odor-Eaters Insoles into your shoes, which will absorb wetness and odor.
Quick Grooming Tips
If you don't iron your clothes, remove them immediately from the dryer so wrinkles don't set.
In hot weather, wear light-colored, cotton clothing and socks. This will absorb less heat and "sweat stains" will be less visible.
Consider trimming your arm pit hairs in warm weather. Less hairs, less bacteria, less smell. Think about it.
Don't be reluctant to trim or tweeze any stray eyebrow hairs.
Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile.
Open your eyes. If hair is the frame for your face, the eyes are the windows. Use eye drops to whiten the whites of your eyes for a fresher, younger look.
Extend the Life of Your Razor Blades All you need is a bottle of mineral oil and some rubbing alcohol. After shaving, thoroughly clean and dry your razor blades and then completely immerse the razor head in a shallow dish filled with mineral oil. Use the rubbing alcohol to wash away the oil next time you need to use the razor.
By immersing the blades in oil, you stop the oxidization process that dulls their sharp edges. A daily mineral oil soak can double or even triple the life of your cartridges.
Happy grooming!

Reconstructive surgery is undertaken to rectify the defects by skin grafting. Some type of microsurgery is done or corrects the faults of trauma, serious effects of surgery and disease.

Which Eye Creams Works Best For Dark Eye Circles?

2008-11-11T00:19:00.000-08:00

Question: I have very dark eye circles under my eyes. In my vain attempt to hide them I’ve tried several concealers with no luck at all. The problem is still visible no matter what I try to do. Which eye creams can work best to treat dark eye circles?
Answer: Dark eye circles are most commonly caused by lack of sleep, but in addition, ageing, heredity, fatigue, allergies (like eczema and asthma), sun exposure and stress can darken the pigment around the eyes as well. Many studies have shown that smoking or drinking too much alcohol, coffee, soda and other highly-caffeinated beverages will only worsen dark circles. Eye creams are the most popular cosmetic used to reduce dark eye circles. They provide moisturize and nutrients to the delicate skin around eyes. Because this skin is so thin it absorbs eye creams rapidly, stimulating blood circulation underneath the skin's surface. You may be tempted to experiment with different products until you find one that works. But this approach may be expensive. More importantly, not all products contain the quality and quantity of necessary ingredients to positively effects on dark eye circles. That's why you'll need to do a little bit of research to find the best, most potent brand for your needs.Karen Austin, a respected health and beauty writer from Consumer Health Digest did a fantastic review on eye cream products and their actual effectiveness in a recent feature, the results are quite surprising.

Olive Oil Beauty Tips

2008-11-10T01:34:00.000-08:00

Simply put- it's pure. So pure, it's often called extra virgin.
If you've never used olive oil on your skin, let it touch you for the first time and give you that summer glow.
Break open your cupboard and use some natural olive oil to repair your dry skin, damaged hair and more.
Olive oil is the only oil made from a fruit. It's not only good for your heart, but also great to apply on your body. Holistic Healer, Stephanie Moore gives these olive oil beauty tips:
"Cuticles and nails: If your cuticles are ragged and your nails are brittle, soak your nails in a cup of olive oil.
Feet: Before you go to bed, smear olive oil on your feet, put on socks, and you'll wake up in the morning with the softest feet ever.
Lips: Soothe your dry, chapped lips, by dabbing on a little olive oil.
Hair: Massage olive oil on your scalp and hair. Cover your hair with a shower or bathing cap and leave on for about 30 minutes. Shampoo. Olive oil helps repair split ends, heals dandruff, and makes your hair silky, and lustrous. Put a few drops on your hair when it's dry to eliminate the frizz.
Skin: Rub olive oil on your hands to soften and moisturize. It's rich in squalene, a natural organic compound and emollient that penetrates the skin, and won't leave a greasy film on it.
Bath: Add a few tablespoons of olive oil to your bath to soothe your skin.
Makeup remover: Use a little olive oil on a Q-tip to take your makeup off. It's as good as any drugstore brand."
Look for olive oil in lip balms, shampoo, hand lotion and soaps - and always use the purest extra virgin olive oil, which is the least processed, and gets its oil from the first pressing of olives.
Use extra virgin olive oil not only internally for your inner health, but externally for your outer beauty as well.

Top Four Tips to Look Beautiful

2008-11-10T01:26:00.001-08:00

Make up Tip #1: Building Strong Skin
Cleansing & moisturizing skin every morning & night are important pieces to the make up puzzle. Healthy skin is beautiful skin, & the better your skin, the better your make up will look. For optimally fit skin, it's important to consume nutritiously, steer clear of tanning, drink plenty of fluids, & wear sun block when out of doors, & avoid smoking & smoky atmospheres.
Make up Tip #2: Read Your Lips
• Lip liner • Lip gloss
Painting lips should be left sweet & simple. Select a lighter shade of lip liner & line all about the lips. Be careful not to line on the outside of the lips - simply stick to what nature gave you. Fill in the lips with the liner & then wrap with a pale gloss. Don't go overboard with lips color lest you be left with Kool-Aid lips for the remaining day.
Make up Tip #3: The Eyes Have It

Beauty Tips - How to Give Yourself a Makeover

2008-11-10T01:24:00.000-08:00

With makeovers all the rage these days - often including plastic surgery as part of the picture - it's easy to think that you can do your own beauty makeover too. The best news is that it's not necessary to get plastic surgery. You can do your own "natural makeover".
What do we mean by "natural makeover"? Quite simply, we mean making some changes and doing some things that can help to make you look and feel younger. In the end, it's like a mini self-made makeover.
To give yourself a health and beauty makeover, you can: exercise, improve your diet, get a new hairstyle, use a good antiaging cream, an essential beauty supply, get some new makeup techniques and stay with current fashion. Let's look at each of these in detail.
Exercise
It's good to exercise when you want to lose weight, but if you are trying to look younger, exercise serves a useful purpose there too. When you exercise, you tone and lengthen your muscles. You also gain muscle definition. You can benefit from fat loss in a myriad of ways - your health can improve, you can look younger when you are thinner and you feel better, which helps your skin to look younger.
Improve your diet
Eat better and your skin and body will thank you. When you eat well, your skin looks better, your eyes are brighter, you feel better and you have a youthfulness about you that you just can't get when you'll filling your body with junk.
Improving your diet isn't as difficult as you might think. Simply improve the quantity and quality of the fruits and vegetables you eat, reduce your portion sizes and get plenty of antioxidants, and you'll see improvement.
Get a new hairstyle
This is one of the best things you can do to immediately make yourself look younger. Getting a new hairstyle that's in keeping with what's current and stylish, and learning how to care for it properly, can do wonders for your look.
Notice we said "learning how to care for it properly". This means that often we get a new hairstyle but use the same styling tools and techniques we used in the past. But keeping current with the popular (and young) tools, techniques and products will help you keep your hair looking current and you looking young.
Antiaging cream
To keep your skin young looking and to add that element of "makeover", use a good quality antiaging cream. A good antiaging cream (also known as a wrinkle cream) can help your skin to stay wrinkle free, as well as soft and supple and enhance its natural beauty.
Find an antiaging cream that works almost instantly but also provides some lasting antiaging benefit (such as antioxidants). These creams will do the best to provide you with an immediate as well as a long-term benefit.
New makeup and hair care
As you get older, change your makeup techniques. You might find that a lighter (or heavier) hand is best, or you might find that the colors which flattered you in the past aren't the ones that flatter you now.
In any event, change your makeup as you age. Along with your hairstyle, this is one thing you can do that's quick, costs nothing, and can make a huge difference in your looks.
Change your fashion style
Finally, don't forget your sense of fashion. That is, don't forget to change fashion, and your personal sense of style, to keep with the times. This doesn't mean you have to start adding every trendy item out today into your wardrobe, but you can add one current item a season to keep your wardrobe timely.
To get a beauty "makeover" that's natural, consider some of our suggestions. Whether you do one or all of them, you are sure to lose a few years along the way.

Beauty Tips - A Personal Makeover Takes Just 3 Simple Steps

2008-11-10T01:23:00.000-08:00

If you're looking for a change, and you specifically want to look and feel younger, you might be surprised to hear that you can do three simple things to make yourself look and feel better. The health and beauty tips you'll learn here are easy to do, yet totally effective.
The three steps to a natural beauty makeover include diet and exercise, hair and fashion and makeup.
Let's look at the first step first - diet and exercise.
We've all heard that diet and exercise are essential to a healthy body. What you may not know is that through diet and exercise, you can help your body to age well and you can change your entire look.
With diet, you can affect weight loss, which is an automatic youth booster. (Generally, thinner people look younger than heavier people.) If you change your diet to include more whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein, you will also have a positive effect on the condition and overall look of your skin.
Exercise helps to tone you and define muscle. As you age, it also helps to keep your muscles flexible and your overall body lean. In turn, you look younger because you are lean, toned and can move easily (and not slowly with stiff joints).
The second crucial step to making yourself over is paying attention to hair and fashion.
As we get older, it's common to forget about changing our hairstyle periodically and changing our overall clothing style.
But doing so is really important and here's why - when you continue wearing the same hair and clothes that you wore when you were much younger, there's nothing about you that says "fresh" and "young".
But paying attention to fashion and hair enough to make simple changes can make a huge difference in your overall look.
To affect a makeover-like change with hair and makeup, consider doing a few things. Change your hairstyle at least once a year (even if only a tiny change) and even consider a little color or highlights to freshen it up (and cover the gray, if applicable).
Also consider adding a new piece of clothing or a new accessory to your wardrobe every single season. Focus on something that's trendy or current, like a colored leather bag, or a white patent belt. Whatever seems to be the trendy thing for the season, add just a piece to your wardrobe to keep it current.
Finally, pay attention to makeup. Between hair, fashion and makeup, you can look "made over" in just hours, but often we focus on hair and clothing and forget makeup. That's a common but unfortunate mistake and here's why - changing the way you apply makeup and the beauty products and supplies you use can provide a significant benefit to you.
To create a small improvement in your looks through makeup, look through some current magazines and pay attention to what the models are wearing. Are the lips heavy and dark, or light and glossy? What about the eyes - is charcoal in right now, or pastel colors? Once you have a sense of what's current, add one or two elements to your own makeup look.
You might have thought of a helath and skin beauty makeover as a multi-step and complicated process, but if you apply these three simple tips to your life, you will look and feel better, as well as years younger. And when you do it, it feels great.
Want to look years younger - in just minutes? Then use the anti aging wrinkle cream that works in minutes. See Marcus Ryan's review site and find out which are the best wrinkle cream and anti-aging cream products that gives results and get these natural beauty supplies as trial offers to have you look years younger than your age.

And of course, with all of this beauty, the women of Hawaii will hold secrets like their own Hawaiian beauty tips.
Keep Your Face Healthy and Beautiful
It's a good idea to avoid washing and cleaning your face under a hot shower spray. The strength and pressure of the spray, coupled with the hot water will only damage your skin. It will break capillaries in your face and cause your skin to be blotchy and uneven. Always wash your skin gently, with lukewarm to coolish water, and with mild soap.
Eyes puffy from no sleep? Or perhaps they are puffy due to one of the many other reasons women get puffy-eyed, dehydration, over consumption of alcohol, heredity. Many women run to the produce aisle and slice up a cucumber. This can, actually, be counterproductive for some women. A better idea is to soak balls of cotton in cold milk, squeeze out the excess then lie down, relax and keep the balls of milk soaked cotton on your eyes for at least five minutes.
Hurray for the Pineapple and Coconut!
Most of us are not blessed with coconuts all around us but we can benefit from the Hawaiian beauty tips of the women of the south. Coconuts are good for our bodies in many ways. The first is - drink it. The fat it has is not the harmful kind, but mono-saturated, so you'll do your body good by ingesting it. The second is - use it as a hair treatment. Milk from the coconut adds shine to your hair and stimulates hair growth when you use it after shampooing. And if you haven't had enough coconut milk by now, go bathe in it! It's a skin softener and boy does it smell good.
Pineapples are rich in Alpha Hydroxy acids, and these are used to exfoliate skin. All you need to do is puree them in a blender and rub over your face. So much less costly than those expensive, designer cleansing solutions, since pineapples contain this natural exfoliant you won't find many more products that are natural, organic and healthy for your skin as the pineapple.
Capture the Magic of the Ocean
Ocean minerals are known to restore moisture in skin and leaving a healthy, radiant glow. Algae, seaweed, as well as sea salt are excellent exfoliants and help remove dead skin cells. The minerals in these oceanic compounds are also helpful in minimizing cellulite because they increase circulation and release the poisons in fat deposits.
Coffee - For Your Face?
Hawaiian beauty tips are predominantly about using nature for the health and well being of your body. Coffee, which contains caffeine, is a natural stimulant not only for your insides, but for your skin as well. Increased circulation to the skin means healthier, rosier, more radiant skin. What are the other benefits?
- It soothes irritations - Eliminates dead skin - Acts as an astringent - Fights against free radicals - Helps in the war on acne by lessening oils in the face
Using these beauty tips may not earn you a vacation to one of the most beautiful spots in America, but it can make you feel like one of the beautiful women who've lived their all of their lives.

Beauty Tips - Homemade Remedies For a Younger Looking Skin

2008-11-10T01:11:00.000-08:00

Nowadays the cosmetics industry offers plenty of beauty products so that we are often extremely confused when we need to purchase them because we do not know which of them are suitable for our skin, for our hair, our body, nails or our teeth. It is said that in the past women used to be more beautiful and healthier using natural beauty products. In order to help those women who do not confide in modern cosmetic products here are some useful beauty tips based exclusively on natural ingredients.
Lotion for the Shine of your Skin Prepare a lotion based on cucumber recognized for centuries for its soothing and tonic properties on the skin. For the preparation of the lotion first put to boil half a liter of water. Cut a cucumber into pieces and plunge it into boiling water. Let it simmer for 5 minutes. Let it cool and then filter the water of cucumbers. You can use this lotion applied on cotton every morning. This mixture must be kept for about 10 days in the refrigerator.
Remedy against Dark Eye Circles
Everybody can wake up one day with these horrible circles under their eyes? Several solutions are available to you:
• Apply a slice of cucumber over each eyelid for at least 15 minutes. Take your time and relax ...
• If you do not have any cucumber, you can also use apple slices (they must be juicy in order to be effective ...).
• Get an infusion of chamomile (in packet if you do not have the possibility to obtain chamomile flowers). Apply on your eyelids compresses soaked in chamomile tea (or directly infusion bags). Leave them for about 15 minutes. Your eye circles will almost disappear, your eyelids will deflate under the calming effect of the cucumber, the apple or the chamomile.
Homemade Makeup Remover You can make your own makeup removal lotion. To do this, mix a volume of lemon juice or orange, a volume of Vaseline and a volume of sweet almond oil. Mix thoroughly to obtain a homogeneous composition. It is fresh and invigorating, and you can use this citrus mixture as a classical makeup remover for your face. Stir it well before each use.
Chapped Lips Lips are often weakened by the cold or to the sun. In order to cure the chapped lips and recover your beautiful lips again, use a little sweet almond oil at night before bedtime. Your lips will be rehydrated and they will find their softness again.
Honey Beauty Milk Make your own beauty milk. To do this, mix one tablespoon of locus tree honey with 20 centiliters of milk. Mix thoroughly. You can use this milk like mixture every morning and evening as conventional beauty milk. Then rinse your sweetened skin with any lotion. The mixture must be kept cool for maximum 8 days.
White Teeth For whiter teeth, brush them every day with fresh lemon juice. Alternatively, brush them with a little baking soda. Beware, however, not to renew this too often, because the baking soda might damage the enamel of your teeth

Beauty Tips - Fashion Tips For Looking Younger

2008-11-10T01:08:00.000-08:00

When you're younger, it's easy to look at "old lady" clothes and exclaim that you'll never wear them, but in order to age gracefully, you should change your style somewhat as you age.
In other words, while it's OK to reject the idea that you should dress like an older person (no matter how old you are), not changing your style can do more than you might think to draw attention to your age.
Let's look at some good tips for looking younger through your fashion choices.
Change it up
First, many women fall into the common trap of sticking with a style that was once flattering long after it is flattering. For example, you might have found a style that worked beautifully for you when you were in your 20s.
The trouble with sticking with that style is two-fold - first, it's likely out of style by the time you hit your 40s and it might simply be "too young" for you which will draw attention to your current age, which is completely contrary to what you're trying to do.
Pay attention to season
To look young and stylish, it's important to change your wardrobe with each season. That means paying attention to what's in style, what's new for each season and making appropriate changes.
In fact, think about making just one small change each season. Perhaps you like those clothes from your 20s and think they are perfectly in style for today's times. But if you add a large scarf in the color of the season, or a fashionable new bag, you can be sure that your style is current and young.
Be appropriate
Dressing to look younger doesn't mean wearing tummy-bearing tops and heels that are just too high. That only draws attention to the fact that you are not in your 20s anymore.
Instead, look at the best dressed young women you know. Pay attention to how they dress. It's likely that if they are nicely dressed young women, you can get some clues from them. Maybe it's a graphic T shirt that's got a little more youth to it than your plain T. Maybe it's jeans with some design on them. Both of these can add a youthful spirit to your look without looking inappropriate.
When in doubt, go traditional
Now, by traditional we don't mean Chanel and polyester suits all the time. Not at all. In fact, that kind of dressing can make you look older (especially if you have also not updated your hair or makeup).
By traditional, we mean stick with the basics. If the thought of injecting too much youth into your wardrobe seems overwhelming, then don't.
Instead, stock your closet with basics built around particular colors. If you love to wear black, focus on purchasing basics in black and white perhaps with red also thrown in for good measure.
Each season, add that trendy item we talked about (the bag that's stylish right now, the large scarf, the patent belt) and you will immediately look not only pulled together, but in style as well. And that goes a long way toward making you look younger.
Hopefully you have gleaned some good ideas for keeping your style, current and young.
If you want to look younger, then use the antiaging face lift cream that works in minutes! See Marcus Ryan's review site for the wrinkle cream products that get rid of wrinkles.

Top 10 Anti Aging Tips For Skin Beauty

2008-11-10T01:07:00.000-08:00

When it comes to removing the signs that time have left behind on your skin there are some things that work much better than others. Try these ten anti-aging tips for skin care and see what a difference it makes in your skin.
Low GI Foods
Fluctuations in insulin levels is one of the primary culprits when it comes those tell tale signs of aging. Lower the amount of high glycemic foods that you eat and see for yourself what a difference it makes to the condition of your skin. Have low glycemic foods instead. If you're not familiar with these terms, then its time to learn more about the glycemic index for carbs.
High Antioxidant Foods
Free radicals take their toll on the youthful beauty of your skin. You can not only prevent further damage by adding a sufficient supply of antioxidants to your diet but actually reverse the lines that age has already etched across your face. For example, have blueberries, acai berries and green vegetables.
Dr. Perricone Diet
Following the anti aging diet by Dr. Perricone helps skin on multiple levels. One of the most important though is by ensuring an adequate supply of essential fatty acids, omega-3 fatty acids in particular, are included in your diet. This diet will not only reverse the signs of aging but in many cases help you get rid of a little of the weight you may put on as you age also. These are 3 diets by Dr Nicholas Perricone, which are the Perricone 3 day diet (or the '3 day facelift diet'), the 28 day prescription diet for weight loss and skin rejuvenation, and the wrinkle cure diet. All these are good.
Exercise
This is an often overlooked component when it comes to keeping your skin looking young and healthy. It's an important component though. Exercise gets the blood flowing, which in turns moves the nutrients you consume where they need to be. Even those that are responsible for nourishing the skin cells in your facial and entire skin.
Stress Reduction
Stress is a major contributor to most visible signs of aging. If you reduce the amount of stress in your life it makes perfect sense that you will eliminate the signs of aging that are caused by them. At the very least, they will not be getting any worse.
Anti Aging Cream
The right anti aging wrinkle cream can make all the difference. The trick is in finding the serum or creme that will work best for you. Make sure that the creams you use will not contribute to other skin conditions such as acne, while delivering the moisture giving life and beauty you are looking for. Anti aging products have come a long way, so use them to enhance your skin's natural beauty. These give your skin a lift, hence they're often called facelift creams that are non invasive.
Hair Makeover
Changing the style, length, cut, or color of your hair can make a huge difference in your youthful appeal. Hair that is shiny and well cared for looks younger and has more life than dull, dry hair with no bounce or life to it. If your hair is weighing you down, give it a lift and see what it does for your spirits and your skin. It is worth paying well for a good cut so make this an investment rather than a cheap means to an end.
Getting Enough Sleep
Your body heals the most while you are sleeping. This includes the skin. If you aren't getting enough sleep, your skin will eventually tell the tale. Make sure that you are getting the rest you need to keep your skin looking as beautiful as possible. It's important for skin rejuvenation and anti aging skin care.
Make Up And Cosmetics
Makeup is the forgiver of all beauty faux pas, when applied correctly. When you are fighting the signs of aging you want to use makeup that will hide them without being obvious. Use cream eye shadows and blushes along with glosses rather than matte colors for your lips these things all work to keep moisture in rather than allowing it to escape or allowing the make up to settle within the lines drawing more attention to these signs of aging.
Non SLS Skin Care Products
SLS, otherwise known as sodium lauryl sulfate can take a toll on the health and beauty of your skin. Unfortunately, its included in many skin care products you will find on the market. If you want to avoid SLS it is best to purchase organic and natural products or read the labels carefully when purchasing products that are sold on the shelves at local supermarkets. This is a great beauty tip.
These ten tips can help you achieve the gorgeous skin of your youth, year after year. Turn back the hands of time today and put these anti aging skin care tips to work for you.

She's Got Legs

2008-11-10T01:06:00.000-08:00

Leg beauty tips - why is this topic rarely discussed in beauty magazines? If it is discussed it is usually just touched upon in the summer months before the swim suit season. Leg beauty tips should be just as important as other beauty tips for both men and women. Bottom line if you show your legs off then you should maintain them. What are a few leg beauty tips?
One would probably say that one of the key tips would be to have smooth legs. How is this accomplished? Well first of all for a woman, one would have to get a good shave. This would require the use of a good razor, keep in mind that not all razors work the same on everybody. Take your time and find one that is good for you. To get a close shave soften the hair in warm water and then shave. What are some other Leg beauty tips? Now that your legs are hair free we can move on to soften them. Some people put moisturizer on after a bath or shower daily, some like baby oil either way keep your skin moist on a regular basis. The new Leg beauty tips now a days are creams and moisturizers that have self tanners in them. People but these on after bathing or showering daily and reportedly you start to build a realistic natural looking tan. Some people feel that tanned legs look better.
Some other leg beauty tips are using those creams that are out now which claim to firm and tighten the appearance of wrinkles or firm the skin on your legs. Do these products really work? Most articles reference them or talk about them so they must be hot on the market. Still they always list exfoliating your legs on a regular basis to get rid of and loosen all the dead skin on your legs. They suggest doing this so you can eliminate dry patches and self tanning creams and firming creams when applied will look smooth and silky on your legs. Not only do leg beauty tips have suggestions for the bottom of your legs they now have tips for maintaining the top of your legs. This is the area where they suggest using the new to market firming cream to tighten those cottage cheese like areas. Not to mention the top of your legs tend to be the whitest and stick out the most when exposed. I bet we could all use a few leg beauty tips now and then. Every summer tends to lead us to know leg beauty tips so let's give a few a try and see what the future holds.

26 Essential Beauty Tips, Secrets, and Home Remedies

2008-11-10T01:03:00.002-08:00

Besides the obvious tools to looking your best (fitness, nutrition, style...) here are some lesser-known health and beauty tips for silky hair, glowing skin, sparkling teeth and healthy nails.
Hair Treatments
Conditioners, special shampoos and other hair treatments can increase the shine of your hair, help protect it and even repair some damage. But if you're afraid of the high price tag that often accompanies salon quality products, here are some simple at-home hair remedies that do the trick.
Dull Hair Remedies
Four household products ensure lustrous hair:
1. Lemon juice - mix it with water and rinse for added shine and bounce 2. Baking soda - mix it into your shampoo to eliminate dirt and grease. 3. Beer - after shampooing, rinse hair with flat beer to add body and shine 4. Tea - boil tea leaves and let cool; apply liquid to dry hair and let sit for 20 minutes; rinse with warm water.
Oily Hair Remedies
Two solutions to fight greasy hair:
1. Carrots - boil and mash them and apply to hair; let sit for 15 minutes; wash and rinse 2. Aloe and Lemon - mix ½ teaspoon of aloe and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice with regular shampoo; wash and rinse.
Dry Hair Remedies
Apply a deep conditioning treatment once a week. Work any of the following ingredients through hair; put on a shower cap or wrap with saran wrap; let sit for 20 minutes; wash and rinse.
1. Mayonnaise 2. Olive oil/ baby oil/coconut oil 3. Egg yolk 4. Mashed avocado 5. Mashed banana
Skin Treatments
Forget expensive designer products. Glowing skin is as easy as opening the fridge:
Oily Skin /Acne Remedies
Create a mask or spot treat with any of the following ingredients:
1. Garlic - natural antibacterial properties make garlic a great acne treatment. Press into a paste and apply on acne 2. Honey and apple - mash together, and apply to individual pimples 3. Tomato paste - apply a layer to face and let dry, rinse 4. Cooked oatmeal - apply a layer to face and let dry, rinse 5. Egg yolk - apply a layer to face and let dry, rinse
Dry Skin Remedies
Soft, supple skin is a cinch with any of the following:
1. Almond oil - use as a primer before foundation or as a night moisturizer. 2. Banana - mash and apply to face; let sit for 20 minutes 3. Mayonnaise - apply to face; let sit for 20 minutes
Exfoliating Remedies
Slough off dead skin cells with these simple solutions:
1. Coffee - mix a quarter cup of ground coffee with a tablespoon of salt; rub on face then rinse off. 2. Pineapple - a natural acid exfoliant; puree pineapple and apply to skin; let sit for 20 minutes.
Nail Treatments
Most nail damage is the result of environmental influences (washing dishes, housework, yardwork, etc.), so try to protect your nails from these culprits. But when all else fails, one at-home remedy can rescue dry, brittle nails:
1. Olive oil - olive oil moisturizes nails and softens cuticles without weakening them, preventing hang nails caused by dry skin. Soak nails in olive oil for a few minutes every week.
Tips for Teeth
Teeth discoloration can point the finger at many offenders - ageing, smoking, consuming staining foods and beverages like coffee, red wine, cola, and blueberries. So it's inevitable that many turn to teeth whitening to restore those that were once pearly.
You have your pick of expensive teeth whitening procedures and over-the-counter chemical treatments, but for a more natural solution, try making a paste of the following ingredients:
1. Strawberries - they contain malic acid, which acts as a mild astringent when mixed with baking soda or powder 2. Lemon juice and salt - lemon juice also contains acid 3. Apple cider vinegar and baking soda 4. Orange peel and bay leaves
You can find even more beauty tips in this complete health and beauty guide.

The Most Important Beauty Facial Skin Care Tips For Women

2008-11-10T01:03:00.001-08:00

Looking for that perfect beauty facial skin care tip? How about going "all natural"? There are a growing number of experts (doctors, nutritionists, cosmeticians, etc) who believe that anything you put on your face should be natural and safe enough to eat.
Practically all cosmetics contain preservatives and other chemicals that can be absorbed through your pores. Since, some of the common ingredients are known to cause cancer, rubbing them all you're your face or anywhere on your body, really doesn't seem like a good idea. With that in mind, we found five masks that you can cook up right in your own kitchen, suggestions for lightening age spots or dark circles and a little advice about buying all natural skin care products.
Beauty Facial Skin Care Tip for the Eyes
You may have seen this in TV shows, but it really works. To lighten dark circles under your eyes, wrap a grated raw potato in cheesecloth and apply to eyelids for 15-20 minutes or you can simply use cucumber slices. You will notice that your eyes feel cooler and when you look in the mirror, you will see less puffiness and dark areas will look lighter. Wipe off the residue and apply a restorative eye gel. The best ones contain COQ10, vitamin E, brown algae and other nourishing ingredients.
Beauty Facial Skin Care Tip to Relieve Dryness
This mask is created using 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 of fresh cream. Mix the two together and apply to the face. Wait ten minutes and rinse. It's very simple, but hydrating and also nourishing. Make sure that both the olive oil and the cream are fresh and contain no added flavorings or preservatives. Use about once a week.
Beauty Facial Skin Care Tip For Excessive Oiliness
Most products on the market are too harsh. They strip away too many of your natural oils that protect your face from the damaging elements. But, when you have excessive oiliness, there are food products that will absorb some of the oil, because they are naturally acidic, thus slightly changing the pH balance.
You can mix a tablespoon of honey with one egg white (not the yolk) and apply thickly to your forehead, neck and other problem areas. Leave the mask on for 10 minutes. Then wash with a mild cleanser.
Honey and egg white are sometimes difficult to mix. You can also use two tablespoons or more of papaya pulp, with at least 10 drops of lemon juice. Apply as you would any other mask. Leave for 20 minutes and then rinse well. You'll see papaya and avocado masks in the stores, but they contain preservatives and artificial fragrances and colors. Making your own is safer and just as effective.
Any fruit juice contains vitamin C, which is naturally acidic. When used in a facial, they refresh, stimulate circulation, close pores and act as an antioxidant destroying free radicals produced after exposure to the sun. Cooked and mashed carrots and honey can also be used.
Beauty Facial Skin Care Tip for All Skin-types
Honey is one of the best masks, but active manuka honey is the most effective. It can be difficult to find, but is available in one of the better all-natural skincare lines.
Before the honey is applies, you should put a very warm damp towel over your face to open your pores. Following a 20 minute soak in honey, rinse off with warm water. Follow with cold to tighten and close the pores. You can use this about once a week. Yogurt and honey or fruit juice can be mixed together to create a thicker and more nourishing mask. Follow the same directions as above. Use only plain, unflavored yogurt.
Our final beauty facial skin care tip is this; if you are too busy to make your own, look for 100% natural ingredients that nourish, heal and allow the skin-cells to repair themselves. The best products are made by a New Zealand company and sold only directly from the factory, so they cost less than department store varieties.
I have tried different skin care and anti aging products and my research shows that the best skin care line should be safe to use, effective on your skin and contain the latest breakthrough natural ingredients, get more information at: http://www.best-skin-care-line.com

Makeup Tips For Teenagers

2008-11-10T00:56:00.000-08:00

There is no question that being a teenager is hard. The stress of making important choices about the future, a changing body, romantic entanglements, a first job, driving lessons, and so many other countless items only serve to make the teenage years more difficult. One thing that does not have to add unneeded pressure to an already hectic life is makeup application. The following makeup tips for teenagers cover a multitude of problems. Better yet, these makeup tips will help in avoiding common mistakes made by young women learning to use makeup for the first time.
Makeup Tip #1: Building Healthy Skin
Cleansing and moisturizing skin every morning and night are important pieces to the makeup puzzle. Healthy skin is beautiful skin, and the healthier your skin, the better your makeup will look. For optimally healthy skin, it is important to eat nutritiously, drink plenty of fluids, steer clear of tanning and wear sun block when out of doors, and avoid smoking and smoky atmospheres.
Makeup Tip #2: Covering Basic Problems
• Concealer • Foundation • Powder
Acne is the plague of youth, but with the above items, most pimples can be covered well if not completely. The key is to choose both concealer and foundation that match your skin tone. It is ideal to have a professional consultation performed to determine the perfect shade for your skin. If money is a concern, you can ask for samples from the department store performing the consultation and use those samples to find similar shades in less expensive, drugstore brand makeup.
Concealer and foundation are both offered in solid, liquid, and loose mineral forms. Deciding which is best depends on your skin type and personal preferences. Solid makeup tends to cover very well, but can look caked on and has a higher tendency to clog pores than the other types. Liquid foundation is the most readily available, and therefore offered in a number of shades, but can cause problems with mess and can streak if not blended well. Loose mineral makeup covers very well but tends to be the most expensive of the three.
When it comes to powder, you must remember that powder exists to set your makeup. Whether choosing compact or loose powder, translucent is usually the best way to go.
Makeup Tip #3: The Eyes Have It
• Eye shadow • Eye liner • Mascara
A makeup tip for teenagers regarding eyes is that less is definitely more. Too much eye makeup can cause you to look clownish or can create an unnecessary harshness. Stick with nude colors such as pale pinks, peaches, and tans for eye shadow, using only a slightly darker shade along the crease of the eyelid for definition. For color, try using a navy eyeliner. This color will make the whites of the eyes appear whiter.
Mascara plays an important role in eye makeup, and there are as many different types of mascaras as there are young women to try them. First learn what your needs are. If you have short lashes, look for a lengthening formula. If your eyelashes tend to clump, look for a mascara with a separating wand.
Makeup Tip #4: Read Your Lips
• Lip gloss • Lip liner
Painting lips should be left sweet and simple. Choose a light shade of lip liner and line all around the lips. Be careful not to line on the outside of the lips - simply stick to what nature gave you. Fill in the lips with the liner and then cover with a pale gloss. Do not go overboard with lip color lest you be left with Kool-Aid mouth for the remainder of the day.
Makeup Tip #5: Adding Color
• Blush • Shimmer • Bronzer
Using just one of the above items will enhance a teenager's face subtly yet significantly. Blush, when used along the cheekbone, can create definition where there is none. When used on the apples of the cheeks (that is the area between the cheekbone, eyes, and nose), it can add plumpness to faces that may be drawn. Shimmer can be applied to the T-Zone with excellent results, and bronzer can be used all over to create a natural looking glow. It is important that, whichever of the three items that are chosen, they are used sparingly so as to not look overly done, and to let your natural beauty shine through.

Makeup Tips For Elder Women

The good news is that as you grow older, it's not necessary to wear either more or less make up. If you pursue few basic tips, you can wear the identical amount of make up you wore earlier. The ploy is in the planning & application.
Use a good quality cleanser & wash your face twice a day, perhaps less as you get older. Be certain to alter your skincare routine as your skin matures & it gets drier & changes texture. Use fine quality wrinkle creams & be reliable in its application. Your skin will benefit from this regular boost of moisture.
Drink plenty of water. We all know how good water is for our bodies & our skin. Your skin will drink in the moisture & its overall condition & texture will improve. Acne is another major problem.
Acne is the plague of youth, but with the above items, most pimples can be covered well if not completely. The key is to choose both concealed & foundation that matches your skin tone. It is ideal to have a professional consultation performed to determine the perfect shade for your skin. If money is a concern, you can ask for samples from the area store performing the conference & use those samples to locate similar shades in less costly, drugstore brand make up.
Painting lips should be left sweet & simple. Select a lighter blind of lip liner & line all about the lip area. Be cautious not to line on the external of the lips - just stick to what nature gave you. Fill in the lips with the liner & then wrap with a pale gloss. Don't go overboard with lips color lest you be left with Kool-Aid lips for the remaining day.
Using just one of the above things will enhance a youngster's face delicately yet considerably. Blush, when used along the cheek bone, can create definition where there is none. When applied on the apples of the cheeks (that is the region between the cheek bone, eyes, & nose), it can add fatness to faces that may be drained. Shimmer can be put up to the T-Zone with exceptional results, & bronzer can be used all over to create a natural looking glow. It is important that, whichever of the three items that are chosen, they are used sparingly so as to not look excessively done, & to let your normal beauty excel through.

5 Great Bridal Beauty Tips From Head to Feet

2008-11-10T00:51:00.000-08:00

Being a bride is very stressful for most. Everyone is looking at you, and you are suppose to look your best. You have the maid of honor in one ear, your mother in another, and if your groom-to-be has a say in it...he could be your third eye. (No, that was not a zit in the middle of your forehead). All of that ear noise is enough to boggle even the most put together bride.
So, how do you deal with all of the advice, comments, suggestions, well-meaning, useless, trivial words of little or no meaning? Shut your ears, girls. Listen to your head & your heart....that's how you got to be here in the first place.
#1 Bridal Beauty Tip- IT IS YOUR DAY!...How do you want to look? If you want to look like a princess, then let's do it. Remember, your mother got married over 20 something years ago, it's not her day, or your husbands--it's your day. Let's make YOU Shine. Whether you opt for casual or a formal wedding...you have to look fabulous.
#2 Bridal Beauty Tip- HIRE PROFESSIONALS. I know that your mother was a hairdresser and your 2nd cousin is a makeup artist, and when you look like a throwback to the 60's..oops, also, remember, this is not the place to save money. You need to look great girl...for more on this tip, please see the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. P.S. If you really need to save here, go for a makeup lesson...learn how to use the right tools (makeup & brushes).
#3. Bridal Beauty Tip - START EARLY. Make a VOW to WOW. Don't WAIT until 6 weeks before the wedding to think about you. Just like you reserve the church early, you need to start early with your skin care, your beauty routine including skin care, wellness and fitness....yes, that booty has to look great from the face to the feet. It's not just the outside...it's the inside too...plenty of water...& maybe it's time to take a yoga class to de-stress.
#4 Bridal Beauty Tip. BEAUTY MEANS FACE to FEET. Last time I checked you were a whole person, with hands, feet, face,...you know the whole package. You know so many brides it is just hair & makeup. Goodness, didn't you look at your feet, no look at your heels...oh my. You don't want to hear, the bride was beautiful, but you should have seen her cracked heels....not good. Hands, body, feet, face...hair, makeup, skin care... the works girl. You should also check out some of the new targeted body wraps for those thighs or tummy. You will look oh so perfect in that dress without having to wear the "ever so tight" body shaper.
#5 Bridal Beauty Tip. PERFECT IS AS PERFECT DOES. It is not a blissful feat to achieve perfection on your wedding day. Our human nature & every little girl's dream is to have the perfect wedding, the perfect day, to look perfect and feel even better. Don't sweat the small stuff. Something may go wrong. In fact, with all of the little details, it's fairly likely something will go wrong. Don't let on. Don't blink an eye. Pretend like you are on the red carpet and wave to the crowd.
Wow you look great!

Face Lift Home Treatment Works in Just 8 Minutes

2008-11-10T00:50:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wondered how those Hollywood celebrities in their forties and fifties still look as young as they did in their thirties? Maybe they have had cosmetic surgery or botox injections, or perhaps they use some secret, expensive product that maintains their facial contours and prevents lines and wrinkles. Or it could just be all down to clever lighting and make up.
Some celebrities admit to going under the knife, and you can see the evidence on websites showing before and after pictures, often of plastic surgery gone wrong. Others strongly deny surgery, and claim their looks are all down to a healthy diet and lifestyle, or perhaps the beauty product they are currently being paid to promote.
There are so many creams and serums available which claim to reduce crows feet and fill out deep wrinkles. But how do you know which ones work? Unless you have tried the product yourself, or know a good friend who you can trust to tell you the facts, it is difficult to find a product that actually works. Some websites display before and after photos, but how do you know if they have not just been edited with an air brush to smooth out the lines and wrinkles?
Another problem is that everyone has different skin types, and a product which works well on one person, may not give the same result on your own skin. Sometimes, you are told that a skin care product takes months to work as the deeper layers of the skin are improved. The results may be quite subtle, so it will be difficult to notice any improvements in the skin over such a long period of time. It would be great if you could buy a product and notice visible results after just one treatment and then see that your skin continues to improve with continued use.
Well, now the secret is out. A face lift home treatment which offers an effective alternative to a surgical face lift has been developed by a leading Hollywood make up artist. The product gives impressive results after an 8 minute treatment, and has been given very positive feedback by well known national newspapers and magazines.

Growing beautiful black hair is actually fairly simple and easy. It only takes a little common sense and time to achieve that long beautiful length that you've always wanted. After reading this article you will no longer look towards the so-called "guaranteed" hair growth products nor will you rely on wigs, and hair extensions to add length to your hair because you will know how to actually add length to your hair naturally. So lets look at some hair facts about our hair so we can begin to learn how the hair grows and what we need to know to keep and add length!
Hair Facts
1. All hair including black hair grows an average of 1/2 inch per month.
2. African American hair is the driest hair type in all the races on the planet
3. Hair is dead. Not alive!!

Hair Myths
1. Clipping the ends makes your hair grow - FALSE
2. Hair food and vitamins make your hair grow - FALSE
3. Washing your hair too much will dry out your hair - FALSE
4. Braids make your hair grow. - FALSE
The first myth: "Clipping your ends will make your hair grow". This myth is ABSOLUTELY false! Clipping the ends does nothing, but makes the hair look neat. It does not prevent breakage nor does it promote hair growth. I mean use common sense! How can cutting the hair make the hair longer? In reality this only makes the hair shorter and prevents women from adding length.
The second myth: "Hair food and vitamins make your hair grow". Another false myth. Hair is dead so why does it need food or vitamins? Nothing will make your hair grow faster. Hair grows an average of 1/2 inch a month. Greases, hair food greases, or pills will not add length to your hair.
Myth 3: "Washing your hair too much will dry out your hair". FALSE! Black hair is the driest hair on the planet and we need moisture to prevent breakage so how can washing it dry it out when water is moisture? The only way you will dry your hair out through washings is by using harsh shampoos. Use a pH balanced shampoo that is geared for your hair type instead and wash your hair weekly.
Myth 4: "Braids make your hair grow". Once again another lie. Braids will NOT make your hair grow. It can promote damage if braided too tightly or give hair a rest, but it will not make your hair grow.
So now you know some facts and how to approach growing your hair in a sensible manner. Growing black hair is not about what products you use or how often you visit the salon. It's just common sense!
