Preparing Skin for Peel off Mask

With the immense increment in popularity of black peel off mask, we can understand that facial treatments have come a long way, and a good peel performed by an experienced therapist can leave your skin glowing.

Here’s how to prepare for and get the most from your first facial peel.

1. Do Your Research

There are some gentle peels that you can use at home, but if you want something more intense to get it done with an experienced skincare therapist or dermatologist.

2. Not For Everyone

When you get older your cell turnover slows down, so it takes longer for the skin to regenerate. When you regenerate new skin, your skin looks healthier. Even women in their 20s can get an accumulation of cells on the surface of the skin which dull and muddies the complexion. You shouldn’t have peels if you are undergoing laser treatment, have active infections, an open wounded or a history of drugs with photosensitizing potential.

3. Be Careful With Products

A chemical peel removes the tougher external layer of skin revealing a more delicate skin below. It’s therefore important that you choose your at-home products, both before and after your peel with care. Don’t use any exfoliating products or products containing retinoids in the week leading up to the peel or for a few weeks afterwards as they will further the irritation and potential damage to the skin.

4. Stay Sun Safe

After a peel, your skin will be more sensitive, particularly to UV exposure. If you want to avoid hyperpigmentation after a peel you have to avoid sun exposure as much as possible while the skin heals and be vigilant with sunscreen.

5. Know Your Skin Type

When it comes to facial peels you need to ensure that you choose a peel that is going provide the outcome you want and that it also works for your skin type. Certain ingredients work best for treating acne, others work to minimise sun damage and fine lines. Sensitive skin will also require a more gentle peel than other skin types.

 

Honey-Cinnamon Face Mask

Natural acne remedies are a good way to get rid of it, or at least hold it at bay. They make you step back and really figure out what’s going on with your skin, and how to work with it. Chances are, your skin will repay you in kind for not simply ravaging it with strange chemicals-and your wallet will probably thank you too.

Honey is sticky, and cinnamon is spicy, and it seems like they’re both things you’d want to avoid getting near your skin. Surprisingly, while it may sound strange, honey and cinnamon make an awesome combo when it comes to acne. Cinnamon has anti-micro bacterial properties so it can help stop bacteria from getting out of hand. If it does, the honey is also a natural antibiotic, ready and waiting to wipe the little buggers out.

Requirements for a honey-cinnamon face mask for getting rid of pimples and acne:
-2 tablespoons of honey
-A pinch of cinnamon
– paper towels

Directions
Rinse your face with water and pat dry. Mix 2 tablespoons of honey and a pinch of cinnamon together until they are thoroughly blended and have formed a sort of paste. Apply the mask to your face (or spot treat) and leave on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse off completely, and pat your face dry. This is a sticky mixture, so make sure you have some paper towels at on hand.

Haircuts for Round Face

If you have a circular face, it will be about as wide as it is long. This may vary a little where your face is not quite as wide as it is long, but it’s usually pretty close.

You will have fullness at and below your cheekbones. People with round faces also tend to have wide hairlines, less-pronounced chins, and their necks often seem short.

Below are the most common face shapes besides round. Most people will fit into one of the major categories, which also include:

• Oval Face – Length equal to one and a half times width.
• Long – Longer than it is wide.
• Heart – Narrow at jaw-line, wide at forehead and cheekbones.
• Square – Forehead, jawline, and cheekbones are almost equal in width.
• Diamond – Wide cheeks, narrow forehead and jaw line.

There really is no one “perfect” hairstyle for a round-shaped face; many things factor into the total equation. For example, the length of your hair, its texture, and weight, your age and lifestyle requirements all play a part in what is ultimately the best.

There are good general guidelines that you can follow, but the best solution is to find a style that works best for you and all your beauty needs.

If your face is round, the best hairstyles generally include:

1. Layered bangs rather than straight or heavy bangs.
2. Short styles which give height.
3. Styles that add length.
4. Styles that keep the sides of your hair short or close to the face.
5. Curls around the crown  (but never near the cheeks) to create height.
6. Keep the sides of your hair short with a curly style.
7. Longer to very long styles, with bangs and a graduated shag or layers, so that the face and the neck are given a slenderizing shape.

Aloe Vera for Long and Shiny Hair

Most of our hair problems can be cured by one Aloe Vera plant in a small pot that we can grow in our house.

3. Create a Canvas: If you’re new to marbling, paint your nails a lighter shade to establish a good base and give something solid to which the polish can adhere. Make sure the color is totally dry before you continue.
4. Tape Your Fingers: To prevent having to do a major cleanup after the marbling, cover the skin around each nail with tape.
5. Drip Polish in the Water: Take your small bowl of water and add a drop of polish from the brush into it.

Easy Heatless Wavy Hair

If you’re one of the girls who love the beachy wavy hairstyles but are tired of having your hair grilled over and over again by curling barrels, then this article is for you.

To give your hair a nice textured wavy touch, the first thing you’d do is start with dampening your hair and then brush your hair to remove all the tangles. If the hair is damp the waves will last longer. Brushing your hair is a good natural way to improve the health and appearance of your hair for one thing, but also, if you brush any tangles off of your hair the night before, all you have to do the next morning is to unbraid your hair and then style it however you want. And if you brush it before braiding, you don’t have to worry about brushing any of the waviness out of your hair either.

Start with partitioning your hair into three equal halves and start braiding your hair. A key to having a subtle natural looking desired waviness lies in how loose is your braid. If the braid is too tight, you’ll end up with crimped hair rather than wavy hair. But if you prefer the crimped hair over the loose waves, you must tighten your braids.

After you’ve braided your hair, just give a gentle pull at each strand with your fingers to make sure that they’re nice and loose. You must try to braid the hair all the way as close to the end of your hair as possible, otherwise, you’ll end up with wavy hair and then a few inches of straight hair at the bottom.

Then you’ll leave your damp braided hair overnight and all you need to do in the morning is just unbraid your hair and run your fingers through it a bit, and get that wavy looks!

And you’re good to go.

Organic Medicines- Part II

Honey has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties and it is your best friend whenever you catch a cold. Home ingredients are also great for various cosmetic purposes. Honey is also a major kitchen ingredient. It is not only sweet but also has many properties to help the skin glow and soften. It gives shine and volume to the hair.

Lemons can work wonders for your skin and hair. Rubbing a slice of a lemon on a pimple/scars fades the scars and brings the natural glow of the skin back.
