Once you are in your late twenties, make cleansing, toning and moisturising a regular habit. Use anti-wrinkle cream before going to bed. 1) Start doing yoga or meditation every day to be stress free. 2) If you are uncomfortable using sun-screen then you can also apply foundation according to your skin tone. 3) Make sure that your skin products do not contain such ingredients which can cause irritation. Do not use products which have menthol, lemongrass, lime or other botanical oils. 4) If you have dry skin then use good moisturiser to hydrate your skin as this type of skin is more prone to ageing. 5) Massage your skin with creams, containing vitamin E. 6) Keep a watch on your weight.

  Here are the top 10 beauty tips in makeup and skin care that best complement a darker skin tone: 1. Moisturise: Those with dark skin, especially with dryness problems, tend to look ashy if skin is not moisturized properly. After your daily shower, make sure you apply a good moisturizer to keep your face and body well-hydrated. This will give you that clear, glowing dusky look. 2. Acne or Pimple Scars: Dark skin is more prone to have acne or pimple scars. Do not pick at your pimples or any other rashes, as they will show up more on your skin than those with lighter skin. 3. The right foundation: While selecting your foundation, the best spot to try it out is not on the back of your hand, but instead, on your forehead and just above your jaw line. Be extremely careful while selecting your shade, as anything that’s lighter than your skin tone may end up making you look greyish. 4. Eye shadows: Dark, metallic colours like green, copper, burgundy, purple and brown will go great with dark skin especially if you’re wearing them at night. 5. Eye makeup: Smoky eyes will look especially good on those with a darker complexion. Make sure you blend it in well, and if you’re looking to create that extra effect, add on a pop of colour around the inner corners of the eye. Also, if you’re mixing two shades, make sure they are of a similar colour family and complement each other well. Use the lighter of the two shades in the middle to inner part of the eyelids and the darker of the two on the outer edge. 6. Lipsticks: Use lip colours like beige, coffee, chocolate, soft pink, plums, berry, burgundy, and gold. Stay away from lipsticks with a frosty finish or ones that are too glossy. 7. Blush: Shades like dark peach, bronze, deep orange, coral, wine, rose and gold and any darker shades of blush will complement your skin best. 8. Powder Foundation: A liquid foundation will work better on your skin than a cream or powder based foundation, as these may end up making your skin look shiny. Dilute your foundation with a bit of water to make it even on the skin. 9. Sun screen: Just because you have a darker complexion doesn’t mean your skin won’t get affected by the harmful UV rays. This is a common mistake that many dark-skinned beauties tend to make. Choose your sunscreen depending on your skin type. 10. Using powder: Darker skin tends to look oily and shiny soon, so it’s advisable to use a face powder that is closest to your skin tone and matches best. Remember, dark is beautiful, and those with dark and dusky skin tones have the best canvas to create various looks in terms of style and makeup. Take pride in your complexion, choose your colours well and use the above tips to create some stunning looks that are sure to bring in those compliments!

  Oil therapy: Rub on some olive, almond or coconut oil and massage lightly on to your hands, legs and the rest of your body before heading for a shower. If time permits, heat the oil and then apply. Post shower, use a light moisturiser/sunscreen, because winter sun isn’t any less harsh. Scoop some milk cream: Milk cream makes for a very good moisturiser. Mix a few drops of lime, a tsp. of milk and two tsp. of milk cream and rub onto your hands and legs. Leave it on for a while before you head for a shower. You’ll see the difference immediately. Curd: Curd makes for an excellent skin hydrant, and its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory properties will help soothe your dry, itchy skin. Apply curd just as it is or mix it with some honey and a few drops of lime. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes before you wash it off. It is sure to do wonders for your skin. Honey: Honey helps lock in moisture, has antioxidant and anti-microbial properties, which makes it a sought after ingredient in many over-the-counter skincare products. Why shell out money on those, when you can buy yourself a bottle of honey (which is cheaper) and use it to treat your skin. Lightly heat 2 tsp. of honey any apply it onto your skin (face, hands, legs) while warm. Leave it on for 15 minutes, and then wash it off. There’s nothing better your skin can ask for. Aloe Vera: If you don’t have an aloe plant at home as yet, then make a trip to the nearest nursery and get one, because aloe is super good for your skin! After bath, slice a piece of aloe, squeeze all the gel out and apply onto your face, hands or legs. It will not only moisturise your skin, it will also form a protective layer that will keep impurities from entering your pores. Although aloe is a good skin hydrant, it can leave your skin feeling tight. So you might want to dab on some moisturiser. Milk way: Keep aside a 4 tsp. of raw milk .Add a few drops of rose water/ lime and rub it all over your body and wash with cold water. Do this twice a day. And your skin will feel baby soft.

Makeup should be worn lightly and occasionally. It is very important to remove makeup before retiring for the day. Using light make up enhances a woman’s beauty and allure.

  1. Let hair grow to the recommended length. Most kits recommend hair be at least 1/4 inch long. This is necessary as the wax needs to be able to grab the hair. If hair is too short then the wax cannot surround the hair or remove it. But if the hair is too long then it will break off and not be removed entirely from the skin. 2. Exfoliate the area that will be waxed 24 hours in advanced with a buff puff or body scrub. Exfoliation will get rid of any dead skin cells. This allows the wax to easily attach to hair and not pull off any skin when it is removed. However, if you exfoliate just before waxing then the new skin will be sensitive and become inflamed and irritated. 3. Take an ibuprofen at least an hour before waxing. Waxing can hurt and an ibuprofen can make a difference. 4. Wash and dry skin thoroughly. Apply baby powder to ensure that the skin is dry. Baby powder will also take care of any oil on the skin. 5. Lay down an old towel or newspapers where you will be waxing. This will catch any wax should it drip onto the floor and makes clean up very easy. With newspapers you simply need to gather them up and recycle. This eliminates the need to scrape wax off the bathroom floor. 6. Heat the wax to the specified temperature and keep it at this temperature. A small wax heater or water bath can be the easiest way to ensure the wax is at the correct working temperature. If the wax is too hot then it will burn skin and drip everywhere. If the wax is too hard or cool it will be difficult to apply and will not grab the hair for removal. This can be the most difficult part of home waxing. If using a microwave to heat the wax, reheating it every few minutes can help ensure the wax is at the proper temperature. The wax should be between 43 and 68 degrees Celsius. 7. Apply the wax with the provided spatula or roll on. To be as neat as possible, scrap off the spatula after each application. If wax is left on the spatula then it can begin to harden and this will make it very difficult and messy to apply additional wax. It is not necessary to apply large globs of wax. Smaller amounts applied to small areas can result in a much better waxing job. Roll ons make less of a mess than spatulas but most kits will contain spatulas. If waxing is a frequent activity then purchasing a roll on is a good idea. 8. Apply the strip provided in the kit to the waxed area following the manufacturer's instructions. Make sure to smooth out the strip several times before pulling it off. Ensure that the strip completely covers all of the wax. If the edges of the wax are not covered cleanup on your skin difficult can be difficult. Gently rubbing the strip onto the wax helps it adhere. 9. Grab the bottom end of the strip and pull in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Hold the skin taunt with your other hand for easier hair removal. 10. Repeat the waxing procedure until all the hair is removed. 11. Apply baby oil to a soft cloth and gently rub the skin to remove any small spots of wax that were not removed in the waxing process. Do not rub too hard as this can irritate the skin. The wax will come off quickly. 12. Turn off the water bath or wax heater and allow wax to cool. Depending on how much wax was used, you can save the tub for further applications. Allow the wax to cool completely and store in a dry place. Clean off the roll on or spatula and store as well.

  చర్మం తాజాగా కనిపించాలన్నా, జుట్టు ఒత్తుగా పెరగాలన్నా కూడా రకరకాల రసాయనాలను వాడుతుంటాం. వాటి కోసం చాలా డబ్బుని వృధా చేస్తుంటాం. మరి అలా కాకుండా మన వంటిట్లో ఉండే వస్తువులతోనే మన చర్మం అందంగా, తాజాగా చేసుకోవచ్చు. అదెలాగో తెలుసుకుందామా..! నారింజ పండు తొక్కల్ని ఎండబెట్టి పొడి చేసుకొని, దానిని పెరుగులో కలిపి ముఖానికి రాసుకుంటే చర్మం కాంతివంతంగా తయారవుతుంది. పొడి చర్మానికి పుదీనా ఆకులతో చేసిన టోనర్ ఎంతగానో ఉపయోగపడుతుంది. గుప్పెడు పుదీనా ఆకులు తీసుకుని, నీటిలో మరిగించాలి. కాస్త వేడి చల్లారాక నేరుగా ముఖానికి రాసుకుని, ఆరాక శుభ్రపరుచుకోవాలి. లేదంటే ఆ ద్రవాన్నిఓ ఐస్ ట్రేలో పోసి డీప్ ఫ్రిజ్ లో ఉంచితే, ఐసు ముక్కల్ని అలంకరణకి ముందు ముఖానికి రుద్దుకోవచ్చు. ఒక కోడిగుడ్డు సొనకి చెంచా నిమ్మరసం, తేనే కలిపి, ఆ మిశ్రమాన్ని ముఖానికి రాసుకుని పావుగంటయ్యాక గోరువెచ్చని నీళ్ళతో కడిగేసుకుంటే మంచి ఫలితం ఉంటుంది. మెంతుల్ని ముందురోజు రాత్రి నానబెట్టుకొని ఉదయాన్నే మెత్తగా చేసుకోవాలి. దీనికి పెద్ద చెంచా తేనే కలుపుకొని ముఖానికి పూతలా వేసుకొని అరగంటయ్యక కడిగేసుకోవాలి. ఇలా తరచూ చేస్తుంటే ముఖం కాంతివంతంగా కనిపించడం ఖాయం.

చర్మాన్ని అందంగా, ఆరోగ్యంగా కాపాడుకోవాలంటే క్రీంలు, ప్యాక్ లాంటివి వాడకుండ కొన్ని జాగ్రత్తలు తీసుకుంటే సరిపోతుంది. మరి అవేమిటో ఒకసారి చూద్దామా...! పండ్లు, కూరగాయలు లాంటి ఒమేగా 3 ఫ్యాటీ ఆమ్లాలు ఉండేవి తినాలి.
