Best Beauty Tips

Today everybody wants glowing skin especially young girls. Health is a major factor that provides you real beauty. You can see many beauty products in marketplaces. At one hand they show good results but at another hand they have some side effects also. We try different tips for beautiful skin every day. But the question is that are these things correct or wrong?Nature gives beauty but we don’t notice such things. All the women always prefer chemical containing products which provide fast but temporary results.

Pedicure tips

You will need: Nail clippers, cotton pads, nail polish remover, cuticle cream, a nail file, a loofah, a good foot scrub and moisturiser 

Step 1:

First, you need to trim and shape your nails. Remove your old nail polish with the nail polish remover and trim your nails neatly. Make sure you cut straight across and don't cut the corners too much, as this can lead to painful ingrown nails. Use a nail file to give them the desired shape.

Feather Cutting

Here, you are given instructions on how to cut someone's hair in a feather style. It's important to make sure you hold the razor tight to the hair but not too tight. You don't want to slice through the hair.

I'm now going to demonstrate how to feather someone's hair. So, first of all, ensure the hair is straight. You can feather curly hair because you can't actually see where you're actually working from.

So, once you've straightened the hair, you can see you've now got an even neckline so I'm going to feather all this hair. So, you get a small bit with a comb; keep your texture up really firm on the person's hair and slowly razor. Use your fingers, keeping the hair taut to your hand.

Keep the hand firm. Keep the razor moving. Make sure you don't go into too much pressure with your razor.

If you put too much pressure on your razor, it's going to go straight through the hair. So, all the time, keep pressure on but not too hard on the hair, takes all that bulk away, and you can see you've got a nice soft finish coming on your neckline. And I'm also going to demonstrate how you would get a nice feathered fringe.

So, once you've got all this tapered down, all right, I'm just going to feather this side area now a little bit. So, again, with the same pressure holding the hair, keep it taunt to the razor and again, don't go in blunt. You're going to slide your razor down.

Turn the model around and I'm now going to feather into the lady's fringe. So, again, got my razor because I'm going to be taking from limp fringe just at an angle, I'm going to razor on the diagonal to feather the fringe. So, I've now got a nice sweeping action in the fringe.

Keep on the diagonal to blend it in to the hairline. Now, I've got a nice sweeping fringe. .

Bouncy Curls

Now that you know how to properly prep your hair, here is how Moticka says to get bouncy, tight curls that last (if that's an issue for you). 

Start by dividing and clipping your dry hair into manageable sections. Of course, the more hair you have and the thicker it is, the more sections you'll need to create. Working from the nape of your neck up first, grab a one-inch section and comb through it. Pick up the section at the ends and mist with a light-hold hairspray to create lift. If your iron is a spring barrel iron (meaning it has a clamp) clamp hair at the ends and roll up until it is completely around the barrel. If you are working with a clamp-less iron, wrap section around the barrel starting at the roots. Hold hair on the iron for 10-20 seconds. Continue working in sections until your entire head is curled. Finish by gently fingercombing curls and misting entire head with hairspray. 

If your hair has a hard time holding a curl, once you release the section form the iron, roll it back up on your fingers and secure with duckbill clip. If you are concerned about creating weird clip marks around your hairline, place a small piece of tissue paper (or toilet paper) between the clip and your hair. Leave hair in clips until your entire head is finished and hair is completely cooled, says Moticka. Then you can release and fingercomb. 

DIY Facials Honey Mask

I have long time been a fan of facials. I love masks of any sort. Doing a facial is usually an excuse to spend at least 15 minutes of quiet time, but having some skin benefits is also a plus, right? Some masks can be expensive, and some expire if you don't use them up quick enough, so whenever I see a facial mask that one can make from ingredients sitting around their kitchen I always want to try it out. 

Today I bring you the Brightening Strawberry Lemon Mask for Problem Skin.

Clearly I pick the one for problem skin, but the ingredients can be altered slightly to help dry skin or those that want a natural exfoliation. Obviously those with sensitive skin or allergies to any of the ingredients listed should not attempt to use this mask. A skin patch test on the inside of your arm is recommended before trying any new product that you apply to your face. This post should not be substituted for medical advice.

For the Brightening Strawberry Lemon Mask, here is what you will need:

1/4 cup mashed strawberries

1 1/2 tablespoons yogurt

1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional if you have sensitive skin or are going out in the sunlight in less than 24 hours after application of this mask)

Let's take a closer look at the ingredients:

Strawberries:

Strawberries contain salicylic acid (which, if you look at any brightening, dark spot removing and anti-acne product on the market, you will see that salicylic acid is a primary ingredient in all of those products.) While I agree it is better to EAT the strawberries, it also is good to put them on your skin.

Lemon Juice:

I, for one, do not always use lemon juice in skin care products. Sure, lemons contain citric acid and when used in skin care over a LONG period of time you might see some of the benefits. And lemons also aid in exfoliating your complexion as well with the fruit acids it contains. While the citric acid in lemons does have natural lightening components, some sources say that lemon juice kills the bacteria that produce acne while simultaneously clearing up acne scars. Lemons have a chemical called psoralen, and the psoralen makes your skin exceptionally sensitive to light. So if you do add it to your skin care, and go out in the sun, you can actually blister if not properly protected with sunscreen.

Yogurt:

What does yogurt not do for your body? Aside from the obvious calcium benefit, Yogurt is packed with nutrients like Zinc, Lactic Acid, Calcium, and B-Vitamins, all of which are super for your skin. Zinc is an anti-inflammatory and has mild astringent properties, Calcium is necessary for skin regeneration and a great anti-oxidant. B-Vitamins, like B2 (Riboflavin), B12, and B5 are anti-oxidants and protect the skin from free radicals. Last but not least, Lactic Acid, which is highly used in skin care products, will help smooth rough skin, exfoliate and moisturize dry skin. I recommend using plain, regular fat yogurt with active cultures. I like Greek yogurt because it is thicker and won't run down your face, but you can always strain the yogurt through a cheesecloth if it is too runny.

Honey:

Honey has anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties and can draw out impurities from the skin. It is published widely in medical literature for its use on wounds and diabetic sores. Honey can target breakouts, reduce redness and calm inflammation. Honey is a natural moisturizer, honey is super hydrating. So using it in your daily skin care routine is not only possible but may give added benefits in the long run.

So you have your ingredients. Here is what you need to do:

Mash together, with the back of a fork, all of the ingredients. Do not puree in a blender or food processor as it will make the mixture too liquid. You want the mixture to be spreadable. Apply the mixture evenly all over your face but carefully avoid your eyes and lips. Let the mask sit on your skin for 8-10 minutes. If you experience any burning or itching you should rinse off right away. Once the time is up, wipe off the mask with a warm, slightly damp facecloth and then rinse with cool water. Pat dry your skin and apply a mild moisturizer free of AHA's or other acids.

Viola. Smooth glowy skin should be your result. What do you do with the leftover mask that never made it to your face? Well I suppose if you were careful about the application you could eat it, but I recommend throwing it away, just to be safe. You can use this mask one to two times a week. But if you use it more often I suggest you omit the Lemon Juice as it may be too harsh for frequent use.

Loose Curly Hairstyle

Loose Perm Hairstyle

Back in the 80s, curls were 100% the hairstyle to have. Straighteners were out and curlers, crimpers and perms were everywhere. Girls loved their curls and why not? They brought volume, life and waves to their hair. Now, thirty years later, everything retro is back in fashion and women everywhere are realizing that the 80s rocked – especially when it came to fashion.

If you’re one of the millions of women who love wearing their hair in curls, you’ll know how much of a hassle it is too though. How many seemingly endless hours do you spend a week trying to achieve the perfect curls? How often have you found yourself wanting to throw your curlers in the trash? Curling your hair is a nightmare – fact. The solution? If you curl your hair near daily anyway and know that’s not likely to change any time soon, why not get a perm? Your curls will last for months (the tighter the curls the longer the perm) so you’ll have no more daily hassle with curlers. Your hair will look great and you’ll save yourself heaps of precious time! Win, win!

Perms aren’t just a one curl type fits all type of job anymore either. You can choose how you want your hair permed and in what style. Confused? Let’s take a look at six different types of perms you can get…

Spiral Perm

Spiral perms are created using long perm rods. The end result is extremely tight, cascading curls or ringlets. They look like tightly wound spirals or corkscrews. Of course, how tight the curls are depends on the size of the perm rod and the various chemicals used. These factors will mostly vary from salon to salon so be sure to ask – some salons will be able to provide pictures of their work as examples.

Body Perm

Body wave perms help to give volume to hair. They’re generally suited for people with thin or flat hair and the curls will be larger on women with hair that is naturally quite straight. It produces loose curls and a gentle wave which is great for adding volume and a bit of life to dull hair. It’s great for shoulder length hair or longer and suits people with square faces as it tends to soften facial features.
