LATEST HAIR CARE TI[P

1) Treat your hair to a professional treatment once a month at your salon. It repairs your hair and leaves you relaxed after a nice head massage!

2) Wear a hat on hot summer days to prevent your hair from drying out.

3) If you don’t have time to wash your hair, sprinkle some talcum powder into the roots of your hair to absorb the oil. This will give you an extra day of clean hair.

4) After a shower, blast your hair with cold water. The cold water after the warm shower will make your hair look shinier!

5) Give it a hot oil moisturising treatment once a week.

6) Use a leave in conditioner before going to the pools or swimming in the sea to stop it going frizzy.

7) I let my hair dry naturally after washing it without any product – the more often you do this the less damage you get.

8) Do a weekly intense condition treatment with a shower cap!

9) Give your hair a treat with a tablespoon of olive oil and 1 beaten egg mixed together. Apply on hair and leave for 30 minutes...BINGO... you'll have the shiniest hair in town!

10) Avoid brushing wet hair. This will cause the hair to stretch and finally break. Finger-dry, or use a wide-toothed comb instead of a brush to gently remove the knots.

Hair care

Hair care
Hair care is an overall term for parts of hygiene and cosmetology involving the hair on the human head. Hair care will differ according to one's hair type and according to various processes that can be applied to hair. All hair is not the same; indeed, hair is a manifestation of human diversity.

How to Condition Your Hair with Beer and Chamomile

1.Shampoo as usual. Have the beer and chamomile tea already assembled and ready for use.

2

2.Pour the pint (475ml) of beer slowly through your hair.

3.Rinse with cool (not freezing) or lukewarm water. Make sure to get all of the beer out of your hair.

4.Take the pre-made chamomile tea and pour it slowly through your hair. This will disguise any remaining beer smell and will also lighten and condition your hair. Let it sit for a few minutes.

5.Rinse out the tea with cool water. Dry as usual. You should notice a softer, more highlighted difference to your hair.

Cosmetics

 Cosmetics

Cosmetics (colloquially known as makeup or make-up) are care substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. They are generally mixtures of chemical compounds, some being derived from natural sources, many being synthetic.
In the U.S., the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates cosmetics, defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structure or functions." This broad definition also includes any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product. The FDA specifically excludes soap from this category.

SKIN CARE

SKIN CARE

Natural skin care is the care of the skin using naturally derived ingredients (such as herbs, roots, essential oils and flowers) combined with naturally occurring carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants,humectants and emulsifiers (everything from natural soap to oils to pure water). The classic definition of natural skin care is based on using botanically sourced ingredients currently existing in or formed by nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals, and manufactured in such a way to preserve the integrity of the ingredients.

As a result of this definition, many people who use natural skin care products, generally make their own products at home from naturally occurring ingredients. Many people use natural skin care recipes to make remedies to care for their skin at home. Many spas and skin care salons now focus on using more naturally derived skin care products.

Various cosmetics and skin care products are widely available in stores and salons. With these products it is easier for women (and men) to achieve a healthy, smooth and beautiful skin. However, even though these products are effective, not all of these are safe.Cosmetics are
 supposed to help women look beautiful, but these products are often so full of harmful synthetic chemicals that they could leave you with unsightly skin conditions. Yes, most makeup products and cosmetics are terribly harsh on your skin and numerous studies report that they
 are carcinogenic. Moreover, cosmetics and makeup can inhibit your skin from breathing and can harbour bacteria and help external impurities causing skin problems.

Face Charm

FACE CHARM

Charm is the art of having an attractive personality. This characteristic can be achieved only over a period of time. While everyone is born with differing amounts of natural charm, much can be acquired and honed through practice and patience. As with dancing, the more you practice, the better you will become.

Nail Art

                              NAIL ART

Nail art, the practice of painting decorative designs on your fingernails, is a fun way to brighten up your everyday look or accessorize a special occasion outfit. There are a variety of designs available, ranging from subtle and understated to funky and outrageous. For example, you could choose to paint flowers on your nails for a date or spell out the name of your favorite athletic team on the day of the big game. While the more intricate designs are best left to a professional, it’s possible to create simple nail art at home.

The key to any successful nail design is starting with clean and well-shaped nails. Nails should be neatly trimmed and filed before painting. Even the most accomplished artist can’t create an attractive design on nails that have been bitten down to stubs. If your natural nails are beyond repair, consider applying artificial acrylic nails before painting your design.

Once you’ve painted your nails with a neutral base coat, you can draw your design using a special thin-tipped nail brush. However, beginners may choose to improvise by creating their designs with a bobby pin or toothpick. Regardless of which application method you choose, it’s best to use a cotton swab and pure acetone to remove any polish application mistakes. Work as fast as possible, since nail polish dries fairly quickly. To save time, have a separate brush for each color of polish.

ORIFLAME SKIN GLOW CREAM

Oriflame Very me Peach me perfect Skin glow Tinted moisturizer.

Price : Rs 298, Currently on Offer at Rs 179

Quantity : 30 ml

Comes in 2 variants : Light and Dark. I’m reviewing the shade Light. It is slightly lighter than my NC40(MAC) skin tone.

My take on the product

I had purchased this product long back sometime in April. The packaging and claims of the product were quitetempting and I’d never tried a Tinted moisturizer before so I went ahead and bought the shade Light. I wore it a few times but in the sultry summer, this product was too heavy for my skin. It made my oily skin greasy and the ‘glow’ barely lasted a while. Moreover, I was slightly tanned and the shade Light looked a little ashy on my skin tone.

But the story in the winters is a completely different tale! This tinted moisturizer gives the right dose of hydration and coverage to my winter combination skin for an dewy everyday look. The product comes in a black tube with an orange screw on cap. The packaging isn’t expensive or classy looking but it is quite catchy!

The texture of the moisturizer is creamy and is slightly on the heavier side. It is peach tinted and contains very fine gold micro shimmer that gives the ‘glow‘. The cream is hydrating and on my combination skin, it makes my T-zone slightly oily after a few hours of wear which can be taken care of by powdering. It blends easily and leaves a slight cast behind so in flash photographs, it might show up slightly. It gives light to medium coverage. It doesn’t give enough coverage to under the eyes and other pigmentation areas like around the nose and mouth. The finish is dewy but not overly oily. The gold micro shimmer is very subtle and you wouldn’t notice it unless you look really closely in the mirror in a well lit area (under direct sunlight). It just gives a nice healthy glow to the skin. I reach out for this product when I want a natural, medium coverage, non-cakey look with a bit of a glow!

For oily skin in summers, this would be too heavy but dry/normal/combination skin types would love this for an everyday wear skin cover. One would need a sunscreen as this contains neither SPF not PA++.

The product has a mild peachy fragrance which I personally really like!

I would recommend this product to all dry/normal/combination skinned women!
