BEAUTY TIPS
Beauty Tips For Naturally Beautiful Skin
Not sure what to look for when choosing
cosmetics? Need some advice on taking care of your skin? Here are different tips to help your skin look and feel it's
best.
1) Select moisturizers made with
vegetable oils. The lotions, creams and body oils that you use should be made
with vegetable oils, not mineral oil. Vegetable oils, (like olive oil, sweet
almond oil, corn oil, etc.) contain fatty acids which help to moisturize and
soften the skin. Mineral oil is derived from oil and does not contain anything
that helps to nourish the skin.
2) Look for herbs and herbal derivatives
in your cosmetics. Herbs and their derivatives (essential oils, extracts,
infusions) contain natural chemicals which soothe, tone and help condition the
skin. Two herbs which are especially useful in natural cosmetics are Lavender
and Tea tree. The essential oils of both lavender and tea tree are gentle,
natural antiseptics.
3) Once a week soak your feet in warm
water, and gently exfoliate dead skin with a pumice stone. Follow up by
moisturizing your feet with a natural foot oil or foot lotion.
4) Every week soak in a tub of bath
salts. Salt, especially salts mined from the Dead Sea in the Middle
East, are rich in minerals and help draw impurities out of the
skin.
5) After a shower or bath, seal in moisture
by using a body oil or lotion made from natural vegetable oils.
6) If you have blemishes and your skin
is dry, moisturize your skin in the morning and at night with products that
contain vegetable oils which are high in essential fatty acids. Necessary fatty
acids help to soften and hydrate the skin and they can also help soothe minor
irritations. Vegetable oils that contain large amounts of essential fatty acids
are: corn oil, sunflower seed oil, safflower oil, borage oil, blackcurrant seed
oil and evening primrose oil.
7) Look for toners and astringents that
are made without ethyl alcohol, rubbing alcohol or isopropyl alcohol. These ingredients
are solvents that are extremely drying to the skin. 8) Every time you wash your hands, moisturize them
with a natural lotion or cream to help them stay soft.

MEHNDI
MEHNDI
Mehndi (henna) in India
is a exquisite temporary form of skin decoration
traditionally drawn in delicate , patterns on the hands and feet of women, naturally
for any festival or occasion, especially for big celebrations like weddings.
Though it has been used for body art and hair dye since the Bronze Age, henna
has had a recent renaissance in Euro-American (Western) culture of glamorous
creations of body art (‘henna tattoos’ at carnivals, festivals and fun fairs /
holistic fairs), growing in difficulty and expansion, with new innovations in
glitter, gilding, and fine line work.
Mehndi has great importance in all Eastern wedding customs. The ‘Mehndi
Ceremony’ (mehndi ki raat, exactly translated - Mehndi Night), is one of the
most important and grandest pre-wedding functions. It is something like the ‘the
West, with all the bride’s female relatives and friends getting bachelorettes’
of together to celebrate. In some religions, unless the mother-in-law has
applied the first dot of mehndi to the bride’s hand, the application cannot go
ahead. The mehndi dot is considered to be a symbolic permission, delivery of
which permits the new daughter-in-law to beautify herself for the groom.
There’s nothing sacred or spiritual about it, but it is considered beneficial
and lucky, as well as beautiful. The designs adorn both the front and back of
the hands, sometimes all the way up to the elbows and the feet, sometimes all
the way up to the knees. Some popular beliefs are that the darker the design,
the more her in-laws and in particular, the husband, will love her and that a
darker design signifies the strength of love/affection/passion in the marriage.
It
has become a trendy alternative to tattoos, with Hollywood
actors and celebrities making this painless art famous. Recent technological
innovations in grinding, sifting, temperature control, and packaging henna, as
well as government encouragement for henna cultivation, have improved dye
content and artistic possible for henna. Women in countries where women are
traditionally dejected from working outside the home can find socially
acceptable, lucrative work doing henna.
My
personal opinion is that this might have been artificial to make the bride sit
patiently for the paste to dry and yield a dark and deep design. I also believe
that for the bride, the process is therapeutic in calming and preparing her for
the event, as she is forced to relax and wait for the paste to do its job properly.
A bride is not expected to perform any chores until her wedding mehndi has
faded; another reason to have a dark and deep design. A bride's wedding designs
usually includes a hidden inscription of the groom's name on her palm. It's
believed, if the groom fails to find his name within the intricate patterns,
the bride will be more central in married life. Sometimes the “wedding night”
is not allowed to commence until the groom has found his name. This is also
seen as a ruse to let the groom touch the bride's hands in order to find his
name, thus initiating a physical relationship. Another superstition regarding
Mehndi is that if an unmarried girl receives scrapings of mehndi from a bride,
she will soon find a suitable match.
Commercially
available henna powder is made by drying the henna leaves and milling them to
powder, and then sifting it. This powder is mixed with lemon juice, strong tea,
coffee, cloves, tamarind, lemon and sugar. Essential oils with high levels of
"tarps", monoterpene alcohols such as tea tree, eucalyptus, cajuputs,
or lavender will improve skin stain characteristics. The henna mix has a
toothpaste-like regularity and is applied with a one of many traditional tools
or the modern cello-wrap cone.

HAIR COLOURING
The look of first gray hair raises panic amongst
most people. Although it is a common phenomenon but still people try dreadfully
to delay its arrival. If you are also nervous about your hair turning gray then
it is better that you know why hair turns gray and then know how you can apply
hair color to hide it
Why our hair turns gray?
Why our hair turns gray?
To answer this question you first
have to understand the structure of the hair.
Follicle is a tissue that lies beneath the skin. This tissue surrounds
our hair. Each follicle contains a single hair. The follicle contains pigment
cells called melanocytes which produce eumelanin and pheomelanin. The eumelanin
is black or dark brown in color whereas the pheomelanin is reddish yellow. They
pass the melanin to the cells of the hair which determines the color of our
hair. So it is melanin which determines whether we have black, red, blonde or
brown hair.
If melanocytes become
less active they will deposit less pigment in the hair and our hair will appear
lighter. With time, the melanocytes die off thus leaving no cells to produce
color and we experience graying of hair.
The age at which you will experience
graying of hair depends on a lot of factors. Your age, genetic
factors and hormones are the major factors that determine when you will get
gray hair. The genes regulate the potential of hair follicles to produce
pigments. This is the reason why it is often found that people belonging to the
same family starts getting gray hair at the same age.
There are other external factors
also that influence graying of hair like pollutants, climate and publicity
to chemicals. Premature graying of hair occurs due to faulty
diet, stress, thyroid diseases etc.
Gray hair is often related to old
age and makes people unhappy. But with all the hair colors that are available
in the market you can dye your hair in any color and show off a younger you.
How to choose hair
colors?
For ages people have been using
natural ingredients to give their hair a different tint. Henna and
black walnut shells were more commonly used. Bleaching agents like
vinegar were also used to change the color of the hair. Nowadays a lot of hair
colors are available in the market from which you can select the one that suits
your needs.
Temporary hair colors
Temporary hair colors change the
color of the hair by depositing acidic dyes on the outside of
the hair shaft. These colors also contain small pigment molecules that can
enter the hair shaft and change the color.
With shampooing the color
molecules get dislodged and the hair finally gets back its own color.
Permanent hair colors
Permanent hair color uses ammonia
to open up the cuticles and the coloring agents penetrate the cortex
of the hair. Peroxide is regularly used in hair colors which break the chemical
bond. A new color is bonded to the hair cortex which becomes permanent.
So, you know how hair turns gray. Now it is up to you
whether you want to show off your gray hair or color them to look younger
HAIR CUTS
Let us be very honest. We are all a little jealous of those who have good-looking long hair. Anybody can keep up a short bob cut or any other short haircut. though, long hair is harder to preserve or so we think. In actuality, unlike short hair, long layered haircuts suits all kind of facial shapes and can be maintained with the same amount of care that goes into short hair.
Hairstylists group faces into eight basic shapes and affect the long layered haircuts consequently. Oval shaped faces are measured the most flexible of facial shapes because it complements a multiple array of long layered haircuts. Some what the only cut to keep away from is having too many layers on top of the head, which makes the face look longer or thin
However, this is faithfully what women with round faces require to add some length to their face. Haircuts with layers that fall just below the chin take away the roundness of the face from the sides as well, giving it a more egg-shaped shape.
Faces with narrow forehead
and wide chin are labeled pear-shaped. Opposite of the heart shaped face, women
with pear shaped face need to add size to their forehead and hide the wideness
of their chin. Get long layered haircuts that leave you with layers falling
along the chin. Brush hair off the forehead and wear it loosely to give some size
on top and around the forehead
Diamonds may be a girl's close
friend, but a diamond shaped face can also shine the same way with the right
long layered haircuts. Wear long layered hair brushed away from forehead or
loose around the top to give width to it. Layers should fall in wisps around
the wide chin to secrete its widthLAYERED HAIR CUTS
Women with square faces often want to take away the ends and bring some roundness to it. Long layered haircuts with wispy medium bangs falling around the jaw line usually add that smoothness and feminine curve to the face. Layers should not be allowed to grow chin length or longer case.
Hairstyles are all about hiding the drawbacks and attractive the reward. Women with heart shaped faces want to take the notice away from their wider forehead and add quantity to their jaw line. Soft long hair with layers far-reaching across the cheekbone will be able to do that. Avoid blunt or uneven layers with this face shape.
Long layered haircuts can be worn up, in a ponytail, or in different styles. furthermore, long layered haircuts can be given different looks at home using curling irons or hairs strengtheners. now, there are various stylizing products that can be used to give quantity or curls to your hair for a short-term style using the long layered hair cut as basis.

Skin is the only external visible index of aging. Pollution, congestion and the accumulation of waste in the skin tissues can accelerate the aging process. Aging of the skin depends not only on the person's age but also on her state of health. Occasionally a young person will have skin that is prematurely aged or an older person will have young, well-preserved skin. Aging of the skin is produced by three factors: cellular notification, dehydration of the cells and poor blood circulation.
Cellular Intoxification: Normal skin eliminates its cellular waste in a methodical way: if there is a slow down in tissue exchange or metabolism of the skin and oxygenation the cells become intoxified. Skin is a living organ that breathes and renews itself. Oxygenating the skin enables it to fight against pollution, prevent asphyxiation, congestion and the accumulation of waste, all of which can accelerate the aging process. Soothes Oxyliance Fluid: this skin therapy fluid boosts cellular activity and exchanges. A day and/or night fluid that quickly absorbs, it leaves a matte fresh finish and provides energy to the cells. The more available oxygen consumed by the cells, the better the improvement of cellular functions. Skin is also protected against environmental aggressors such as pollution and smoke. This wonderful fluid also helps tighten the pores so that they appear smaller and less noticeable. Excellent for congested, clogged skin types or skin lacking in radiance.
If blood circulation is poor, oxygen becomes less available for cell nourishment. A poorly vascularized organ is destined to age prematurely. In the skin, collagen and elastin fibers become frayed. The ability of the skin to regenerate is disabled. Cells accumulate at the outer layers since they are not eliminated regularly. These extra cells make the skin appear rough, coarse and dull. Sothys Desquacreme Deep Pore Cleanser is one of Sothys premiere formulations; chosen as winner in the Cleanser/Exfoliating category in Salon Plus Editors Choice Awards 2008! A granule-free emulsion, it is a recommended beauty treatment product for all regimes. Uses biotechnological extracts of wheat that penetrate into follicles, breaking down impurities and deposits and flushing them away to reveal a healthy glowing skin, from within.
