Men Skincare: 10 Effective Tips to Cure Acne

Tuesday, November 15, 2011

The skin is the largest organ on the body and unlike your wardrobe, you cannot change the skin you wear every day. One of the main functions of the skin is to eliminate some of the body’s waste products and when toxins escape into the skin, they can cause problems such as acne. Here we offer to you some tips for your fight against acne:





  1. As acne is basically a skin condition connected with the oil glands, you should try to keep your skin clean. By keeping your skin clean, it helps to reduce the bacteria count.

  2. Be careful not to over cleanse your face or it might result to your skin being too dry.

  3. Use plain soap and water to cleanse your skin no more than 3 times a day. If you have very oily skin, you may wash it more than several times a day.

  4. Avoid using moisturizers and creams on oily skin as they can give you a greasy feel and look. Use oil-free products instead.

  5. Vigorous scrubbing is not good for the skin. Avoid using anything rough when scrubbing at your skin if you have acne. It may worsen breakouts.

  6. Shave lightly over acne-affected areas and try not to nick the pimples. Avoid shaving when your skin is inflamed and applying acne medications instead of aftershave later can help control breakouts.

  7. Exfoliate your skin gently once or twice a week. Exfoliating you skin helps to get rid of dead cells and this can help bring healthy skin to the surface faster. However, be careful as over exfoliating can cause more acne breakouts.

  8. Do not over apply acne medications. Over usage can lead to side effects that will only worsen your skin condition.

  9. Seek the consultation of a dermatologist if unsure of the treatment products.

  10. Last but not least, consistency. Acne does not heal overnight so patience is very much needed.



Remember that by just cleansing your skin, you will not get rid of acne. A combination of eating wisely and the right treatment is the best way to combat this irritable problem.

This is a very popular trick among the models. White eyeliner opens eyes and makes them brighter, if properly apply. Just apply little white eyeliner on the interior angles on the lower eye lid and your eyes will instantly look fresh and rested.


2. Cranberry Juice

Red-haired celebrities like Nicole Kidman use cranberry juice not only for drinking, but also for rinsing the hair to add shine and to keep the color rich and intense.

Cleopatra's Beauty Secrets

Friday, April 1, 2011

The legendary Queen Cleopatra, the great seducer of her time, knew how to nourish the face and body. Women have admired her for ages because she managed to win the hearts of "unavailable" men.


After more than two thousand years ago, her recipes surpass many cosmetic products, in both quality and efficiency. In that time, people have used as many as 21 aromatic oil to protect skin from the sun, treat stretch marks, wrinkles and cellulite ...

Body Care

History tells us some of the beauty treatments that used mysterious Cleopatra and Egyptians general. Her most famous treatment is bath milk. In fact, milk is just one of the ingredients of this rich bath. The entire pool or bathtub, would be filled with warm water and milk. Cleopatra loved flowers and aromatic essential oils, so she often used this in her bathtub. Original recipe was lost, but we know that donkey milk was used, but ordinary milk can be used. It is best to use milk with a high percentage of fat, it helps dry and dehydrated skin. Acids in milk destroy the dead skin cells. Vitamin A and E give a more fresh look to the skin.

Makeup

Egyptians believed that god blessed beautiful women. Eye shadow, which we use today are made from different ingredients. In the past, the ground ore were mixed with roasted almonds to produce a brown eye shadow. Green copper ore (malachite) were segmented to get a green tint. Fragrant spice saffron, gave yellow shades. Cleopatra's eye shadows were applied on the entire eyelid. Eyeliner or kohl (powdered antimony) was applied on hot sticks. Egyptians put kohl on the entire eye. It gave good-looking eyes, but also protected from strong sun and dry climate. Egyptians believed that eyes that don't have any makeup are exposed to evil and because of this man, women and children used make-up. This style of make-up recommends all companies that produce corrective makeup. So-called "Arab eyes" have always been hit in the fashion industry.

Cleopatra used a make-up base made of wax. This mass is made from animal fat and white lead. She applied this base on the face and neck, which gave her a majestic statue look. She put powder of red clay on cheeks, and for lips used a mixture of red clay, sticky residue of red wine and blackberries.

Perfumes and essential oils

Known for their beauty, queens Cleopatra and Nefertiti first discovered exotic art of making perfumes. The Egyptians bathed in a mixture of oils, perfumes and lime. Perfumes were made of flowers and trees miring, mixed with oil or grease. They used a variety of ingredients, from the flower of henna, cinnamon, lily, iris, rose, and bitter almonds. That is why their skin always had a pleasant smell.

Honey

An indispensable ingredient of Cleopatra baths, treatment for hair and face, was a honey. The ability of skin to stay hydrated is an important factor in maintaining the softness, flexibility and slenderness. As skin ages or is exposed to external influences of stress and chemical agents, it loses the ability to retain water, becomes dry and wrinkles appear. Honey attracts and retains water and therefore, is the natural basis for a variety of products, including moisturizing lotions, cleansers, creams, shampoos and balsams.


- CLEOPATRA'S RECIPES -

Fruit for mature skin

If your skin is dry and cracked, or if you have problems with wrinkles, put pineapple juice, papaya, cooked tomatoes, mango or avocado juice on your face. Allow 15 minutes to act, and then rinse with lukewarm water.

Wrinkle Cream

* one teaspoon of almond oil
* two drops of incense oil

Apply on clean skin and rub in with gentle strokes.
Almond has a mild fragrance, and skin can easily absorb this. Incense essential oil is used in a variety of medical purposes, but mainly for skin care. This mix solved the hair problems such as scars, stretch marks and slowed the spread of pine. The smell of incense may not match due to some strength, but you can add some essential oil of rose, which has a pleasant scent and also the skin will restore energy and stimulate collagen production.

Nourishing Mask

This is a mask for all skin types. You can use it at least once a week.

* Two tablespoons of yogurt
* One tablespoon of ground oats
* Half a tablespoon of olive oil

Heat the yogurt until it boils, put the oats in and leave until it cools. Add olive oil, mix and spread on the face, including eye area and neck. Leave the mask on your face for 20 minutes. Then, rinse with warm water. After you remove the cover, you can start with an ice massage. For this you'll need green tea and lemon juice. Combine them, pour it into molds and freeze it. Take ice cubes and rub your face and neck with light movements. This mix will make your skin softer and close the pores, if they are enlarged.

Natural Recipes For Thicker And Longer Lashes

Natural home and alternate recipes are now very popular in the field of beauty and beauty care for the entire body. Their goal is to remove chemicals from products that treat skin, hair and nails, including eyelashes.

Eyelashes are the framework of our eyes, accentuate and make you look more beautiful, and if you want beautiful lashes without installing or synthetic adhesive, try the following tips:

Olive oil
It is no secret that olive oil has a wonderful effect on hair growth and its renewal, but the same effect of minerals and vitamins from the oils have on the lashes. Apply olive oil to the lash roots and over them with a cotton swab, leave to work at least 5 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water. Do this for four weeks and the results are guaranteed. It will strengthen the old, begin to grow new and stronger lashes.

Vitamins
Deficiency of certain vitamins in our body will affect the quality of the lashes. Regular intake of nutrients such as vitamins B and D are very important for the beauty of the eyelids and their resistance to harmful influences such as an improper cleaning, mascara or eyelash curlers. Eyelashes need special treatment from the inside when exposed to these external influences, especially as the lashes grow more slowly than the rest of the hair we have on the body.

Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly
We already wrote how Vaseline can be used as a beauty product. This is one of the timeless methods to enhance the growth and texture of eyelash. He may have a miraculous effect if it is used properly. Apply it at bedtime to the root of the lashes and over the lashes. In the morning rinse with lukewarm water.

Vitamin E Oil
Accelerating growth and strengthening of the eyelids can be achieved by using external nutrient from vitamin E oil. Vitamin E is one of the best "remedies" for losing, strengthening and restoring natural beauty of your eyelashes. Vitamin E is available in pharmacies or stores that sell cosmetics. Apply it equally as well as the previously mentioned products.

Tip - Temporary avoid eyelash curler.
To give time to recover from damage, it is recommended to avoid using curlers a few weeks, especially one that is heated. Often curlers (especially those of low quality) may have a bad effect on the texture of eyelash and cause it to break.

Body Lotion vs. Body Cream

Different skin types require different types of hydration. Therefore, many types of lotions and creams for body care are available in every store, and you just have to choose what suits you best.

Products for body hydration aren't so much different from moisturizing face creams - every skin type needs different product. Moisturizing lotions and creams have the same effect - improves skin moisture that it is necessary for natural glow and health. What determines which product is suitable to you is the degree of dryness of your skin and the areas in which you want to concentrate. Lotions are usually based on water or oil, aren't greasy and are rapidly absorbed into the skin. Sensitive skin deserves a little extra pampering, and this hypoallergenic Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion by Burt's Bees delivers it.

Body creams are used when the skin is very dried out, such as in winter due to exposure to dry air, cold or wind. Frequent changes in temperature due to the transition from cold to warm can dry out your skin and make it itchy, and prone to redness. This kind of skin lotion does not provide sufficient care, but it is used when the skin isn't extremely dry.

Soothingly Sensitive Aloe & Buttermilk Body Lotion

Creams for body care are also water-based or oil-based, but their consistency is thicker and richer. They are quickly absorbed into the skin, but constitute a real barrier between the skin and the elements that can irritate or dry out your skin. If your skin is oily, you should avoid creams because they clog your pores and creates pimples.

Sometimes the skin is very dry only in certain parts of the body such as elbows, hands and feet - in this case, choose a cream for dry parts, and nourish the rest of the body with lotion. Body butter is very popular today because it is designated for very dry skin.

One of my favorite body cream is L`Occitane Shea Butter Ultra Rich Body Cream which will give you ultimate moisturizing comfort, with a high (25%) concentration of Shea Butter. If you prefer lotions you can use L`Occitane Shea Butter Body Lotion which is a daily moisture solution for dry skin, in a non-breakable squeeze bottle ideal for shower and travel.

Usually body butter is enriched with a scent, and it leaves a light scent on the skin. They are good for frequent hydration of a very dry skin, because they will make it smooth, soft, nourished and fragrant. Given that it is very concentrated, it is enough to apply a small amount of butter and spread it throughout the body. Be careful and do not overdo it if you're in a hurry - it can leave grease stains on clothes if it's not absorbed.

Decadent Chocolate Body Scrub

Chocolate has experienced a boom in recent years as part of the cosmetic industry. Today, every beauty salon or spa offers a treatment from this old delicacy.


Cocoa can prevent damage to collagen, elastin and other skin proteins that is caused by free radicals. Thanks to cocoa - the skin retains a youthful appearance and tension. There is some chocolate body scrubs that you can buy. I would have to suggest GIOVANNI Chocolate Sugar Scrub 9 oz which has crushed cocoa beans and is one of my favorite body scrubs.

To enjoy the benefits of decadent chocolate on your skin you don't need to go to the wellness center. We bring you a recipe for body scrub on the chocolate base that will nurture your skin, make it velvety and shiny! This treatment is designed for two.

So, grab your partner and take him to the shower!

Ingredients:

* three tablespoons of water
* three tablespoons of honey
* two pieces of dark chocolate without sugar (the higher proportion of cocoa, the better)
* a cup of sugar
* half a cup of sweet almond oil
* four drops of essential oil of sandalwood
* two drops of vanilla
* some nutmeg

Mix chocolate, water and honey and melt it by cooking on the stove or in a microwave. Add sugar, oil and nutmeg. Mix all ingredients well in a compact mixture which is applied to wet skin. Gently massage the body using a circular motion, from foot to head. Rinse with warm water and dry body tapping it with a towel.

Apply powder or highlighter on the cheeks, towards the outer corner of the eye. Then apply powder under the arch of each eyebrow with soft movements.

Dry skin

Hydrating facial spray will give the skin a natural glow, and also will refresh it. If you don't have it, try a spray that contains vitamins, antioxidants and minerals.

Skin without natural glow

Cook for 30 minutes. Mash the mixture and apply after it cools. Keep it on the face for half an hour, then rinse with cold water.

Wrinkles on the forehead

In this case acupressure has the best effect. Press the upper inner corner of the eyebrows with your finger, and slowly move toward the outer corner of the eye. Hold finer for three seconds and do the same with the lower inner angle. Repeat these exercise 3 times on each eye.

Vaseline As a Beauty Product

Thursday, February 24, 2011

Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly is a simple paraffin combination for multiple purposes, and is particularly useful in the service of beauty. Inexpensive and versatile, so it should be in every cosmetic bag.

We bring you 10 ways that you can use it in your favor, with a little experimenting and playing with the ingredients.

1. Nourishing care for dry skin

Whether you have sensitive lips, elbows, or dry skin on arms and legs, Vaseline can be your "joker" in all situations. For dry and cracked skin on your feet, apply a generous amount of Vaseline, wear plain cotton socks and leave it to act overnight. The same trick can be used for the skin on the hands and leaves, but in this case, shorten the time to about fifteen minutes.

2. Eyelashes and eyebrows care

Women who have tried this method using Vaseline swear in its performance. Apply a little Vaseline every night before bed or on the lashes before applying mascara. Eventually, your eyelashes will be thicker and longer, and in another case your lashes will look better. You will simply tame your playful eyebrows with a little Vaseline.

3. Natural Scrub

If you mix Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly with plain sea salt you will get an excellent, nurturing natural exfoliation, which will also remove dead skin cells and nourish the skin.

4. Substitute for shaving foam

Apply a thin layer of Vaseline to the place you plan to shave and the skin after shaving will remain soft and fresh.

5. Eyeshadow fixator

To make your eyeshadow last loner, before make-up apply a small amount of Vaseline on your eyelids, but be very cautious and careful not to overdo it because you won't be able to apply eyeshadow even.


6. Hair cream

Vaseline doesn't do wonders only for your skin, but also for your hair. Spread a small amount of Vaseline on your fingers and use like the styling products you use normally. Soon you'll start noticing that your hair is healthier.

7. Remove hair dye stains

If you rub Vaseline on the hairline, behind the ear and neck, you'll avoid stains that remain on the skin after hair dying, which is quite difficult to remove.

8. Mix your own make-up

Don't throw your lipstick (unless it is not expired), but mix it with a small amount of Vaseline 100% Pure Petroleum Jelly (depending on the box where you think to keep your home-made product) and in 10 minutes you will receive your own nourishing lip balm. The same way you can create a creamy blush.

9. A beautiful manicure

Vaseline is one of the best products for cuticle care. Rub a small amount om the nail and after a few minutes you can easily push the cuticles.

10. Long lasting fragrance

Apply a small amount of Vaseline to the area where applying perfume, and you'll smell loner than usual.
