Skin Secrets

noreply@blogger.com (Neve) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 17:18:00 +0000

Your skin is one of the most important things that you have to be thinking about all the time. Everything that you do- the way you are sleeping, the drinks you are having, the sun...- can affect your skin.
You don't need to wash your face twice a day- If your skin has been tight or red skip the morning wash and just rinse. That doesn't mean you are off the hook at night!
Margaritas- the chemicals in fruity alcoholic beverages can react with your skin while you are in the sun and cause reddish brown spots. Wearing perfume in the sun can cause the same spots.
You should apply products in order- you might be redusing your products' benefits by layering them improperly
The pill- some birth-control pills can clear acne- it is true it happened to me but the thing it it is different with different people so don't always expect to have an effect on you!
Your sleeping position- believe it or not your sleeping position can age you! Lie on your back with your neck slightly elevated by a pillow. Or use a satin pillow case.
Your jewelry can rub your skin the wrong way

Junk Vs. Healthy Food!

noreply@blogger.com (Neve) — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 15:01:00 +0000

When you rip open that package of chips or other junk food, not only your thighs should be worried, because there is another thing that junk food effects except the weight- your skin. Everybody dreams for beautiful and smooth skin and one of the things you can do to have it is to start eating healthy. Here are some foods that will not only fill up your belly, but they will norish your skin.

Mangoes- they have more than 80% of your daily requirements for vitamin A, and vitamin A maintains and repairs skin cells. It also fights free radical damage that can prematurely age the skin. And another good thing about the mangoes is that with fewer than 70 calories per serving, this succulent fruit is the perfect pick for your figure, not just your face.
Avocadoes- This creamy, green fruit is abundant in essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin.
Almonds-almonds are great for your complexion, because they have 150% of your daily need for vitamin E. Vitamin E's rich oils moisturize dry skin, while its antioxidants protect against skin damage and premature aging of facial tissue.
Oysters- They are a rich source of zinc and can help fight acne. Zinc not only helps clear up acne, it can also help boost elastin (the skin's elastic protein) production with the help of vitamin C.

Permanent Makeup

noreply@blogger.com (Neve) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:47:00 +0000

The beauty of permanent makeup is that the change can be yours every day. What is permanent makeup? It is a revolutionary method of inserting small amounts of pigment into the dermal layer of the skin. This state of the art practice has been employed by models, actors, and entertainers as a means of enhancing their appearance. Permanent Makeup typically consists of application to the eyes for eyeliner, lash enhancement etc., eyebrow color to create the right brow for each face giving the client a base and simulating eyebrow hairs for that completely natural look and lip liner, full lip color with or without reshaping or reconstructing the lips. Additionally, there are permanent cosmetic makeup procedures for beauty marks, scar camouflage, cheek blush, eye shadow, and areola reconstruction. The selection of pigment color according to skin tone, coupled with the proper implantation techniques, can result in a soft natural looking enhancement of existing features or even create a totally new look. The applications for eyeliner and lash enhancements are great for clients who wish to draw attention to their eyes or create the appearance of fuller lashes without having to worry about smudging or smearing by the end of the day.

The World Of Makeup

noreply@blogger.com (Neve) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 16:28:00 +0000

What is makeup? What makeup can do? There are so many different types of makeup. Girls start using it when they are young and when they grow older they just start not feeling pretty without it. Is it true? Does makeup make us more attractive? As women, we must "put on our faces" to bring out our features and enhance our beauty. Yes! Make up can achieve dramatic changes in our look- cover up flaws, make our eyelashes longer, our lips fuller, our eyebrows darker. It can make us look the way we want, but we don't, without it. Let's think of a situation - you have a date with the guy of your dreams, you want to look fabulous- you got you haircut, you dressed up, but oh my god what is this huge pimple doing on your nose and this dark circles under your eyes / you have been working too much lately/, you do not want him too see that, you want to look amazing. It is time for make up, we have to hide all this, make this face look gorgeous. Is makeup important in this case? Yes! Think about it ladies, we want makeup, we like makeup, that is why we spend hours in the beauty shop. You read a magazine and you see an add about a new cosmetic product and the next thing in your head is " I need to try this".

4 Ways To Maximize Your Color

noreply@blogger.com (Neve) — Wed, 17 Oct 2007 15:33:00 +0000

1. Do it by yourself
How often do you go to the hair salon? How much do you pay for a color? Why don't you just do it by yourself. You can do it! Stick with the shade that is one or two levels lighter than your natural hue. This way, the regrowth will be subtle, so you can go longer between color applications, says Dauksevich.
2.Apply it like a professional
Do thin streaks around your face and part ( where the sun would hit your head naturally)
3. Protect and preserve
Investing in a new hue is only worth it if it sticks around! If you treat your hair right you will get more value out of the shade. Avoid washing your hair for about 24 hours after coloring it, says Prinzo. Use colorsafe shampoo and conditioner that are UV protecting. And in general it is best not to shampoo every day. “ This can cause fading, so do it every other day if you really want to stretch out a new color”, says Prinzo.
4. Cover up roots
Do not hit the dye bottle at the very first sign of roots, instead mask it with a quick coloring kit. Pick a shade similar to the color you had done, and keep in mind that the point is not to match your color exactly but simply to make your roots less noticeable, says Prinzo.

Let's say you are going out to party with your friends in this new club everybody is talking about. You want to look all fabulous, wearing the most amazing ensemble, but there is one little problem- your hair is a sloppy affair. You all have to attest to hair's importance. You know nobody will notice your fashion fabulosity, if your hair looks bad. Right? They will only notice the bad haircut, awful dye job or weird hairstyle. That is why you always have to think about your hair like a really important part of your outfit. You have to figure out what looks good on you- long or short, curly or straight, dark or blonde, and then do it.
