Beauty comes from nature. But still beauty can be made up with motherly care and sincere determination towards beauty. Here are some tricks to get firmer, and smoother skin through constant exercise, diet and routines.

Move - Like any other part of the body, our face needs exercise. Toned facial muscles help to tighten the top layers of our skin, eliminating fine lines and wrinkles.

Eat - For that healthy glow,a good mix of vitamins and minerals will help to improve your skin from the inside. Citrus fruits that are full of vitamins C are effective in reducing free radicals(which cause wrinkles and premature ageing!) from your skin while Vitamin A promotes skin restoration and healing. And if you are suffering from Acne, zinc does wonders in controlling the production of oil in skin.

Apply - It is possible to clean, tone and moisturize your skin with ingredients found in your refrigerator. Milk containing lactic acid is used in many skincare products are good to cleanse the dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production and prevent ageing.

As a natural alternative to moisturizers, try a mixture of oatmeal, honey and aloe Vera. This concoction makes an extremely effective and soothing moisturizer.

Eyebrow care with tweezer

2012-06-26T09:12:00.000+08:00

Well-groomed eyebrows help draw attention to the eyes and make them look bigger. If necessary, pluck away any loose, straggly hairs with a pair of tweezers. Always pluck from underneath the brow and pull hairs in the direction that they are growing with a swift, sharp movement.

Pluck one hair at a time and remember it is better to pluck too few than too many. For best results, use after a hot shower or apply hot towel to the eyebrow area. This will help loosen the hair follicle resulting in a less painful tweeze.

How to curl eyelash?

Curling your eyelash helps define the eye even further. Curl eyelashes will enhance the eye even without make-up. To use: Place the eyelash curler over the clean, mascara free eyelash and gently press. Hold for 30 seconds before repeating the other eye. Do not try to curl eyelashes that have already been covered with mascara as they tend to be sticky and cause lashes to break or pull out.

Real beauty is not physical beauty. The Beauty is having a tender, pleasing, merciful, kind heart.

Keeping skin clear and healthy enhances happiness through more confidence in you. Cleansing is one of the apt method. Thorough cleansing yields natural luminosity to skin. so how to select cleansers?

Use only alcohol-free cleansers :- Cleansers with alcohol dries the skin by stripping its protective oils. Also may sometimes lead to skin irritations.
Go for natural goodness :- Cleansers enriched with natural ingredients boost the skin texture. Also those with vitamin E will be antioxidating agents while those with vitamin B smoothens the skin and also will retain moisture. Cleaners with essential oils like chamomile soothe the irritated skin and also promotes cell regeneration.
Use perfume free and colour free cleansers :- Cleansers with perfume may cause allergic reactions for those with sensitive skin. Chances of skin breakouts appear due to the addition of colour pigments in cleansers.
pH level of cleanse shoulld match your skin :- The acid mantle of the skin gives i a healthy pH level being an average 5.5. If the skin doesnt maintain its acidity then it is sure to be prone to conditions like flaking and eczema. So it is necessary for a cleanser with skin's pH level rather than adopting an alkaline soap.

Best usage of cleansers

Opt for lukewarm water to wash your face. Hot water hurts and dries the skin while cold water may not dissolve the dirt and grime effectively.
Massage face in gentle, upward circular motion to improve blood circulation to leave a subtle glow while removing grime. Dont dare to scrub with fingernails for adverse effects.
Rinse suds off completely to prevent residue from clogging up the pores.
Suggested is twice wash per day. Over washing strips off the protective oils resulting in skin irritations.
