Top 10 Beauty Tips for Women, Top 10 Beauty Tips for Indian Woman.
1 Exfoliate! Exfoliate! Exfoliate!
Yes, that's our mantra for a clean, clear skin. Exfoliating your skin
regularly helps cleanse your skin of all the dirt, pollution and other
chemicals it is exposed to everyday. Browse through the "Homemade beauty
tips" and "Natural Beauty Treatments" sections of our website and
you'll find hundreds of easy-to use, homemade recipes for skin care,
homemade face packs, natural scrubs and other organic treatments which
are not only cost-effective but will also keep your skin away from the
expensive inorganic crèmes and lotions available in the markets.
Avoid using Astringents unless your skin is very oily, and restrict
their use on the oily zone, if necessary. For a quick homemade
exfoliating scrub, add white granulated sugar to your body wash. Sugar
is one of the most effective and will make your skin clean and smooth.
Remember to wash your tub or shower thoroughly after applying this to
avoid any stickiness.
2 Hair Care Tips
Don't underestimate the power of your tresses! According to Style and
Makeover experts, Hair constitutes nearly 50% of your personality. Take
care of your hair and they'll take care of you. Ignore them and they'll
ruin your evening! Fact is, no amount of dressing up or make up can
substitute for a healthy, shiny hair. Here are some quick hair care tips
to help your hair look more stunning than ever:
Keep your tresses clean
Whether you live in dry weather conditions or in a hot and humid
climate, you need to take care of your hair regularly to keep your scalp
free of dandruff and other fungal infections. A perfectly natural way
to get rid off toxins and shampoo build-up from your hair is by rinsing
it once a week with Apple Cider Vinegar Hair Rinse.
Avoid using hair products, which have excess oil, because they may
cause blackheads over and around the forehead. When applying Hair Dyes,
Hair Colors, Hairsprays and hair gels, remember to keep them away from
your face, especially the eyes.
Flaunt Sexy, Stylish Hair in minutes
Do you need to look your best tonight but have no time to rush to the
Hair Stylist or a Beauty Salon? Don't worry. You can fix your hair at
home in minutes with some of the Hair-Styling products that are
available in the markets today. For example, you can add volume and
bounce to your hair, make your hair look wavy, curl the ends under or
straighten it with a Texturizing Cream. All you need to do is dry your
hair with a towel after shower and rub the texturizing cream through
your hair.
If you have wavy or flyaway hair, rub a small amount of hand lotion
in your hair then straighten them by combing them downwards with your
fingers.
Having a Flat Hair Day?
Blow-drying your hair upside down for about 10 minutes could help add more volume and make your hair look bouncy.
Let your hair smell good
Spray your Comb or Hair Brush with your favorite perfume and then
brush your hair. It'll add a subtle fragrance in your hair and make you
feel good!
Thin down Your Hair Conditioner And Shampoo
Most hair shampoos and conditioners are very thick so you can save
some bucks by thinning them down with water and increasing the quantity.
Maximize your Hair Style
Most people think they can set their Hair well by constant
blow-drying, but this is far from true. Truth is, your hair will set
best when it is cooling off after the blow-drying. To maximize your
hair-style, apply a hair spray to your hair while using blow dryer and
hot rollers.
If you're tempted to get that "Salon style blowout hair affect" at
home, towel dry your wet hair and segregate it into many sections. Pick
each section at a time and blow dry using a round brush.
3. Make-up Tips
Except for the celebs and models that are bound by their profession,
most of us are always racing against our tight schedules and have
neither the time nor the energy to spend hours in a beauty salon every
day. What we do need is a few quick and simple makeup tips that would
come handy in our day-to-day life and are easy to follow. Here are a few
makeup tips that will make you look good everyday and you can easily
follow these without spending too much time or effort:
the right make-up
Don't get swept off by all those beauty products in the market-they
may not be right for you and can have adverse effect on your skin. If
you're dealing with skin problems like pimples, Acne, Blackheads or have
oily skin, you need to be careful while buying makeup and should use
moisturizers, foundations, eye shadows and blushes that are oil free.
Always pick skin care products that are labeled "noncomedogenic" (do not
encourage the formation of closed pores) or "non-acnegenesis" (do not
cause acne).
Foundation Tips
Before picking a foundation or concealer, always test if it matches
your skin tone by rubbing a few drops on the inside of your wrist. The
skin around your wrist is smooth and flawless and gives a clear idea of
how the foundation would look when you apply it on your face.
To increase the life of your foundation or concealer and cut down on
the heaviness, mix them with a light moisturizer to give your skin a
glowing look.
Apply the foundation only after you are done with your eye make-up.
This will help you take care of any last minute eyeliner or mascara
smudging under the eyes.
To keep the makeup for long, spray a fully made up face with light
mist- this works well for brides, night outs or during those extra hours
at work!
Blush Tips
To add a natural glow to your face, use a blush cream or gel instead
of powder in the shades of pink or peach. The advantage of using a Gel
or Cream instead of powder is that they are more smooth and transparent
and tend to blend evenly. Rub the blush on your cheekbones, blending up
towards the eye for a flawless complexion.
Eye Makeup Tips
Sharpen your eyeliners frequently to keep them clean. Keep your
eyeliner or lip liner in the freezer for about 10 minutes before
sharpening them. This will make them a bit hard and they won't break
while sharpening.
If you have deep-set eyes, use liquid eyeliner instead of a regular eye pencil to avoid smudging.
To make sure your eyes stay free of infection from make up, discard
your powder eye shadows every 9 to 18 months, mascara after 3 months and
cream eye shadows every 6 to 12 months.
To avoid the mascara from spreading or flaking-off, first apply a
thin coat of mascara on your top lashes and then brush them with an
eyelash brush to prevent clumps.
Heat the eyelash curler by holding it infront of a hair dryer for a
few seconds before curling your eyelashes. Check the temperature, then
use on your eyelashes. The heat helps the extra long eyelashes get
better curls.
Unlike those sparse and skinny eyebrows, the eyebrows trend for this
season is to flaunt thick, natural-looking eyebrows. If you have scanty
brows, you can use eye shadow or a brow definer to fill in.
To settle untamed eyebrows, dampen them with hairspray and comb them gently with an old toothbrush.
Applying eyeshadow on top of the eyeliner with damp cotton will make the eyeliner stay for longer.
Lip Makeup tips
Do you love matte lipstick but dread applying them on your dry lips?
If you suffer from dry lips, apply a coat of lip balm on your lips
before you start applying make-up. By the time you're through with your
eyes and face, your lips would have been moisturized and ready to
show-off your favorite matte lipstick!
To avoid the lipstick from staining your teeth, stick your finger in
your mouth and suck in as you pull it out. The finger will scoop out the
lipstick that is left inside your mouth.
Nail polish Tips
Has your nail polish become thick and chunky because it has been
lying for too long? Most of the times, old Nail polishes begin to
thicken around the bottom of the bottle. To make them thin, add a few
drops of nail polish thinner or nail polish remover.
Before applying a new coat of nail polish, soak your nails in luke
warm water for 5 minutes and rub off the leftovers of the previous nail
polish gently with a finger.
4. Nail Care Tips
Nails can either enhance your beautiful looks or can make you look
really untidy and messy infront of your friends and colleagues. To avoid
embarrassment and to make sure you have beautiful, shining nails, here
are a few nail care tips:
Cut your nails regularly as long, unkept nails can accumulate dirt and germs and can cause infection.
If you suffer from weak, brittle nails, often it could be because you
have not been drinking enough water of due to calcium deficiency. So
drink lots of water every day and increase the intake of calcium in your
diet!
Put on rubber gloves before you clean your dishes or do laundry
because harsh detergents and dishwashers can wreck nails and stress nail
fibers.
5. Get Rid of Unwanted Facial hair
Unwanted facial hair had always been the cause of embarrassment to
the women suffering from it, but not any longer! Today, all you need to
do is walk into a good beauty parlor or skin clinic and get rid of the unwanted facial hair with the help of the experts. Some of the popular hair removal techniques are:
6. Pamper your Feet
Don't forget to include your feet in your daily beauty regimen-they're one of your biggest assets!
Getting regular foot massage and pedicure helps stimulate the circulation of blood.
After a long walk, pamper your tired feet by indulging in a luxurious footbath.
Try this relaxation technique: Add a few drops of essential oils in a
basin filled with warm water. Place small pebbles in the basin. Run
your toes and soles over the pebbles and relax for 15 minutes.
7. Exercise Regularly
Remember your external beauty is only a reflection of your inner
beauty and a healthy body reflects a healthy mind. Take 15 minutes off
from your routine everyday and indulge in a fitness activity you enjoy.
You can practice yoga, go swimming, hit a gym, learn aerobics or take
dance lessons-whatever keeps you stimulated, juts go for it! If you're a
sports buff, you can practice your favorite sport as part of your
fitness regimen.
8. Eat Healthy
Much of our health and fitness depends on what we eat on a daily
basis. Stay away from junk and processed foods and stick to a healthy,
balanced diet. Organic foods are becoming increasingly popular all over
the world and are an excellent substitute for canned, processed foods,
which contain harmful chemicals. Depending upon your calorie requirement
(which can be assessed by a fitness expert), you can chart out a diet
for yourself, which meets your daily nutritional needs and keeps your
fit. Include foods rich in fibre, whole grains, pulses, green
vegetables, fruits, milk and milk products in adequate amount in your
daily
9. Quit smoking
It may be hard, but the best thing you can do for a beautiful,
glowing complexion is to stop smoking. Smoking both dehydrates and
deprives your skin of oxygen, so you will see real benefits - skin will
become smoother and more radiant.' Sarah Monzani, make-up artist to
Madonna
Smoking is not only harmful for your health and is known to cause
breathing related problems like asthma, lung cancer, hypertension,
breast cancer and heart diseases post menopause, it is also one of the
leading factors that induce aging in both men and women. Studies have
shown than the Nicotine in cigarettes can add years to your appearance.
Incase of pregnant woman, smoking whether active or passive can result
in the retardation of an unborn child and cause other complications like
birth defects, miscarriages and pre-termed labor.
So quit smoking and stay young and healthy!
10. Choose a good perfume
Remember Al Paccino's memorable lines in the "Scent of a Woman?" Who does not like to hang out with someone smelling good?
A good fragrance works like a magic spell and makes you stand out in a
gathering. The coolest thing about applying a perfume is-it can be your
signature scent, drawing everyone's attention wherever you go!
Each perfume has a unique fragrance and is meant to strike chemistry
with the person wearing it. Pick a fragrance that complements your
personality and gels with the mood of the occasion. For ex-while at
work, you can use deodorants and body sprays with natural flavors
whereas bold or strong scents can be used during parties or at more
informal occasions.
While testing a perfume, always apply the scents to your pulse points
first since this is where the blood vessels are closest to the skin and
tend to give off more warmth and spread the scent around.
Watch out for any allergies and irritant reactions in case you're allergic to a fragrance.
