Microdermabrasion

microdermabrasion.jpgThe process allows you to get fresh and natural glowing skin but don’t think its gonna be pain free. As the term implies, the rpocedure involves removing a few layers of skin cells from the face and neck using an abrasive compound that abrades them away exposing new skin. It does get a bit painful right after the treatment but there is usually a soothing mask is applied and even two in some treatments. The good news is that it gets those unsightly lines, acne scars and other skin blemishes away leaving smooth skin as that of a baby’s bottom (sometimes). It does fell like sandpapering on your face and you’d have to wear earplugs to avoid getting the stuff into your ears so kiss those iPod’s goodbye, well till its all over. You feel sore for a few days as the skin cells firm up and grow into your fresh face.

How to get Radiant Skin even with Oily Skin

Category: General, Make-up, Skin — Avatar @ 3:50 pm

oilyskin.jpgUse primers to even out blotchy complexion and follow with a liquid foundation or tint which makes your face evenly toned. Apply only as needed and don’t overdo for it will run if applied too heavy. Use translucent powder and steer away from colored powders for they will streak on oily skin. For a natural glow, don’t apply powder to the tops of your cheekbones. Keep away from crème foundations for they smudge with oily skin as the day progresses. Sweep your cheekbones with some powdered shimmer with a fan brush to liven it up a bit. Carry blotching paper with you to soak up that oil as it accumulates so you can touch up and prevent blotching through the day.

How to get Radiant Skin even with Dry Skin

Category: General, Make-up, Skin — Avatar @ 3:46 pm

dryskin.jpgFor a radiant glow that gives you that perfect glow all day long, try starting by applying luminizing face primer that eliminates flaws and covers up blemishes. Follow-up with liquid or cream foundation to make the skin look drier and even eliminating the oily look. Blend them well, and do not forget the eyelids and the hairline to prevent those separation lines that gives an artificial look. Try to blend it to make it look natural and even. Follow up with pink-toned concealer under the eyes and a foundation shade concealer on spots that still show. Use bronzers to give you a glowing look similar to most stars like J-Lo who has the perfect bronze look. Apply shimmer and highlighting shades but with older women, try to avoid shimmer near the lines on the eyes. Use sheer translucent powder on the t-zone that leaves your cheeks looking dewy fresh. Dust powder across the eyelids using an eye shadow brush to prevent the eye makeup from running.

Foundations Foundations.. Which to choose?

foundations.jpgWell, that’s a good question for there are many products on the market that not only come in many brands but in many types. Crème, liquid, powder and mousse, so which do you choose? J-Lo, loves spray on or airbrush style foundations that allows a flawless look that can give you the look of a star. The stuff is quite hard to use and the best ones are the more expensive ones for they work best. There are cheaper brands such as those from Sally Hansen but expert reviews only give it two stars. It does take practice to use so best leave it to a makeup artist to do the applying. If you wish, you could buy a cheaper brand, practice with that then turn to the more expensive brands as your confidence grows in using it.

Sleep Can Be Your Key to a Fresh Face

Category: General — editor @ 11:44 pm

We all know how hard it is today to survive in the competitive world we live in and apparently, rest and sleep is important to be able to stay fresh at all times. We often see people who look haggard and seem to be exhausted at all times and put all of these together and you will find a wasted projection as far as people who see us are concerned.

There is a certain required number of hours to which we are expected to sleep. Outside the usual sleep we get at night, we also yearn for it during the daytime. While some may call it a lazy habit, sometimes you just have to get proper rest for you to regenerate that look of freshness.

Hair in All the Wrong Places

Category: Hair — editor @ 11:42 pm

Women are quite particular about hair growth, especially in their legs. Ordinarily, hairy legs are often seen in men today. But for some women, there will be exceptions especially if they are hereditary. There are some women who unfortunately have excess hair in their legs and chances are you will see them peeling them out on a regular basis.

Such is not an abnormal occurrence. Remember that for people who have hair growth as an obvious hereditary trait, it is apparent that they will be passed on to you. While you may hate it, you can always turn to the medical solutions such as laser hair removal. Added costs but worth it if you talk about beauty as a whole.

The Eyebags We Hate

Category: General — editor @ 11:41 pm

If we love to stay out late and sleep in the early mornings, chances are we will inherit the eye bags that form underneath our eyes. We often disregard them and wait for them to go away. But for some people, they simply must be gotten rid off as soon as possible.

The easiest way to get rid of them is simple, don’t stay out so late at night. For others, they would use natural means such as raw meat or cucumber. Eye bag formations are really irritating and for some people, they would do anything to get rid of them.
