Beauty tips for You

-->

Clean your hands. Grab a toothbrush and squirt some soap on it, then rub it in. Leave it next to you. Wash your hands in warm water, not cold or scalding. Use a good quality soap. Rub the soap everywhere: your wrists, in between your fingers, and the area around your nails. Wash the soap off, and then use the soapy toothbrush to scrub the actual nail and the dirt under it. Then make small circular movements around your whole hand with the toothbrush. This gets the hand really clean and makes dead skin disappear. If you have nail polish on, remove it before washing your hands.

Gently pat your hands dry. 

Use a clean, preferably fluffy, towel. Don't make them starch dry; leave them a little moist. Don't put on any lotion or clip your nails just yet.

Massage your hands. 

Search for something to massage your hands with. Almost anything will do: massaging lotion, olive oil, yogurt, warm milk, even lemon juice. Rub a little on your palms and use it to massage the whole hand. Massage slowly; don't rush. Just relax and make sure you actually enjoy this step—that's pretty much the whole point. Rinse off whatever you used with warm water. If you used olive oil or something that can be rubbed in, just leave it in—it'll treat your skin. If you used a lot of yogurt or milk, wash away a little bit and rub in the rest. Don't scrub your hands and wash them thoroughly, completely washing away what you used to massage your hands (that'll make them feel tight and dry).

 Rub in some lotion. 

You might want to use face cream if you want. Some good brands are Sorbolene (it's great on dry and peeling skin), Dermaveen (again, for dry and peeling skin), and the new Vaseline range. Do it properly: don't slather on the whole lot, but use enough to really get deep down.

 Trim your nails. 

Thoroughly clean the undersides of your nails before clipping the nails: make sure that there isn't any dirt left. It's best to keep them short, which looks neat and is easier to manage. Try to cut all your nails the same length and shape. If you need to, file them afterward. Rub in some cuticle cream on each nail. If you don't have any cuticle cream, use lip balm instead. Leave the cream in for twenty minutes.

 Paint your nails. 

Grab your favourite colour if you're going out. If you're not going out or doing anything special, just use a clear gloss. Your nails really need a break from strong nail polish, or they may get weak or turn yellow. Some nice colours for your hands would be a pearly pink, deep red, or a natural colour. Metallic, glittery and shiny nail polish is very cool too. If you're painting your nails using an actual colour, make sure to sandwich the colours between a thick coat of clear polish, to protect and add shine. How many layers you paint is totally up to you, and depends on the thickness of the polish. Once you're done, wait for your nails to dry. Be careful. If you can, slip on a pair of gloves to lock in all the moisture and protect your hands for a little while. Do this repeatedly if necessary for best results.

Poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac are plants that can cause a skin rash called allergic contact dermatitis when they touch your skin. The red, uncomfortable, and itchy rash often shows up in lines or streaks and is marked by fluid-filled bumps (blisters) or large raised areas . It is the most common skin problem caused by contact with plants (plant dermatitis)
Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) is a delayed type of induced sensitivity (allergy) resulting from cutaneous contact with a specific allergen to which the patient has developed a specific sensitivity. This allergic reaction causes inflammation of the skin manifested by varying degrees of erythema, edema, and vesiculation.
The term contact dermatitis sometimes is used incorrectly as a synonym for allergic contact dermatitis. Contact dermatitis is inflammation of the skin induced by chemicals that directly damage the skin and by specific sensitivity in the case of allergic contact dermatitis.

Treatment:

Topical corticosteroids are the mainstay of treatment, while a variety of symptomatic treatments can provide short-term relief of pruritus. However, the definitive treatment of allergic contact dermatitis is the identification and removal of any potential causal agents; otherwise, the patient is at increased risk for chronic or recurrent dermatitis. Online resources allow the physician to create a list of products free of allergens to which the patient is allergic. 

•  Shape your eyebrows. If you aren't allowed to pluck, you can try to shape them with a wet Q-tip, or put gel on them to help them stay in place.

•  Wash your eye area with cold water. This will help your eyes look refreshed and your face look awake.

• Apply facial cream to your eyelids. But don't get it into your eyes!

• Put Vaseline onto your fingertips. Then, put it on your eyelids. You might also want to apply a small amount of concealer to the area below your eyes to cover up any bags. 
• Now for the eyelashes. This part is really simple. Once again, apply Vaseline to your fingertips. Curl your lashes with the fingertips with Vaseline on it.
•  For an extra gleaming effect, rub a light eyeshadow(beige, white, opal, brown, tan...) under lower lashes. 
• DO NOT pile your eyelashes with black or brown mascara, this can make it look totally unnatural.

Facial skin health

Tips for healthy skin:

Cleanse


It's that easy. You should wash your face morning and night with a gentle cleanser. Water alone cannot remove the grime that clogs pores. Some experts recommend using a lipid, or "soap-free cleanser" in order to remove dirt but retain the skin's natural radiance. You may need to look for a cleanser specific for your skin type (see Quick Tips). When drying your face, blot with a towel. \
Moisturizer
Healthy skin is hydrated skin. Apply a good moisturizer after cleansing your face and any other time your skin is feeling a little dry. At night the body regenerates the skin's natural oils; when the skin is too dry the body compensates by secreting more oils which could make your skin greasy and prone to blemish. Thus the moisturizer you use at night should be thicker, with more oil than your daily cream . But don't rely on moisturizers alone; dry skin is a good indication that your body is dehydrated and needs more water. Water is the best product for your face, and it's free.
Facial Masks.
 There are different facial masks for different skin problems. Some claim to moisturize dry skin, other claim to erase wrinkles, while still others claim to eliminate blemishes. While these products may work, facial masks are described by many experts as the most optional step in a skin care regime. Regardless of how beneficial they are, applying a facial mask can be refreshing, giving you a moment to pamper yourself physically and mentally.  
Steam Treatments.
 A steam treatment not only hydrates the skin, but it opens pores and detoxifies. You could buy a facial steam bath from the department store or boil some distilled water at home, add various herbs and steep before draping a towel over your head as you sit above steaming water.  
Water. 
 The importance of water can't be emphasized enough. If the body is dehydrated the skin is one of the first things to suffer. Excess dryness causes the skin to loose its elasticity, which in turn causes premature wrinkles. Drinking water also cleanses the body, washing away nasty toxins that might manifest themselves in your complexion. Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to assure your skin's health. 
Sleep. 
 If we could wouldn't we all jump into bed this moment to begin a skin-friendly sleep marathon? Unfortunately routinely getting at least 8 hours of sleep is difficult. It is called beauty sleep for a reason; at night the body heals itself and the skin is no exception. With sufficient sleep the skin has more time to rejuvenate and you'll prevent those dark bags under the eyes and dry skin that can result from sleep deprivation.

Tips for fairer skin.

• Soak 4 almonds overnight. Make a very fine paste with them, using milk to grind them.

Very simple and easy steps to get clean and even tone skin

Step 1

Exfoliate your skin daily to remove dead skin cells that can make patches of your skin appear darker than the rest. Simply mix 1 tbsp. of brown sugar and 1tbsp. of almond oil in a small bowl. Apply the exfoliator to your skin using your fingertips. Massage the exfoliator into your skin using a circular motion for five minutes. Remove the exfoliator with a warm water rinse.

Step 2

Apply lemon juice to your skin three times a week to reduce any dark pigmentation that makes your skin look uneven. Cut a lemon in half using a sharp knife. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half into a small bowl. Dip a cotton ball into the lemon juice. Massage the lemon juice into your skin. Do not rinse.

Step 3

Moisturize your skin daily using a coconut oil. Coconut oil contains fats and vitamins, which can help rehydrate and smooth your skin. Keep your skin well hydrated to reduce dry patches. Massage a dime-sized amount of coconut oil to your skin using your fingertips several times a day.
