Beauty tip of the day!

What causes ridges in nails? Ridges in fingernails are not always a cause for concern. It would depend on whether the ridges were horizontal in the nails or vertical ridges. Vertical nail ridges are seen rather commonly and usually are not signs of serious illness. These ridges generally extend from the base of your fingernail to the tip in an orderly, regular fashion. These ridges tend to become more prominent with age and generally don’t indicate poor health or a serious medical condition. Horizontal ridges can be caused by the growth of the nail being briefly interrupted due to common factors such as changes in nutritional status or slight trauma to the nail matrix. This can result in the formation of horizontal nail ridges. These are usually not a cause for concern, although it would be advisable to consult with your doctor if you have obvious horizontal nail ridges since they can be a sign of nutritional deficiency or other underlying disease. If you are at all worried about the ridges on your nails it is always best to consult with your GP.

Beauty Tip of the day:

Use Oil On Your Skin.. Even If It's Already Oily This probably sounds crazy, but using an oil-based product to remove make up or excess dirt from your skin can actually improve your epidermis' condition. Why? Over-cleaning stimulates the sebum glands, which causes skin to over-produce oil. Using oil-based products will have the opposite effect.

Beauty Tip of the day

Using blusher right! You may have been taught to apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, but as you age, this area of your face tends to sag. To avoid accentuating this problem, lightly sweep your blush upwards to help highlight your cheekbones. And pay attention to colour—a blush hue too bright or dark can leave you looking more like a clown Reach for a lighter colour that flatters your skin tone.

Beauty Tip of the day

How does spray tan work? Basically the answer lies in the fact that your skin is also not permanent, and is constantly growing new cells. Spray tanning solutions have no effect at all on live skin cells, and instead only cause changes to dead cells. In a nutshell, spray tanning solutions turn dead skin cells brown. Spray tan has something called DHA in it which is a colorless sugar that interacts with the dead cells located in the stratum corneum of the epidermis. As the sugar interacts with the dead skin cells, a colour change occurs. This change usually lasts about five to seven days from the initial application. It is important to exfoilate before a spray tan as this smooths the skin out ans the spray tan will go on more evenly and the dead shin layer will take longer to build up which allows the tan to last longer.

Beauty tip of the day:

Droopy lashes! Lashes can make eyes look more youthful and awake, But one big, common mistake is omitting the eyelash curler. Use it to curl each lash at the root, holding for 15 seconds. Because mascara can weigh down lashes and undo the curve, opt for a curling mascara to help boost them, and take the time to wiggle the wand and work in the mascara. When you see lashes against bare skin, that's when they look the longest and most gorgeous, so if your pushed for time always opt for mascara over shadows and liners.

Beauty Tip of the Day:

Wearing an entire eye palette on your lids!

Just because your compact came with four or more colours packaged together doesn't mean you have to paint them all onto your eyelids at once. Instead, its recommended that wearing no more than three shades at a time: a medium one on your lids, a lighter one near your brow bone and a dark one as liner. But for everyday, you really only need a sweep of one shade across your lid.

Don'ts of applying mascara (methods that create clumping)!

We've all done it, the quick thrusting of the brush in and out of the mascara bottle before applying it to our lashes. Pumping the wand like this is by far the most common mascara no no! It's almost as common as having to open your mouth when applying mascara to your eyelashes.  If you're going to put on more than one coat of mascara be sure to do so before the first coat dries! This is crucial! the most common cause of spider lashes or mascara clumping is waiting too long in between coats. Make sure you are applying all coats at once and don't let the first coat dry.

Beauty tip of the day!

Different mascara brushes! Before you can begin Applying mascara you need to decide what look you are going for ie ; full , length, false look. How you achieve theses looks all depend on the shape of the brush,acurved brush helps lift and curl lashes, a thin wand will give you more definition and separation, and thick wands achieve more volume. But the best bet to start is to use a tapered brush that's thick closer to the base and thin at the tip, This will help you get volume on the outer corners of your lashes, all while reaching those tiny inner eye hairs.

How to cover redness on your face!

Green primers are tinted and correct the tone of red areas by depositing small amounts of green pigment onto your skin. They are also meant to be used over your entire face under your regular foundation, making them ideal for covering widespread blotches or ruddiness. Primers also lock your foundation into place, which keeps redness from peeking through after just a few hours. There are now green foundations as well as green primers which will save you time and money.

Getting the best from your tan-

How to remove tan - 

Part 3

If you want to try to remove the tan completely your best bet is to shower AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after your tan. Most tanning solutions take 8 hours to fully develop (hence why showering too soon after a tan is usually a huge no-no!). If you notice your tan is developing poorly,rinse off and exfoliate as soon as you notice. If it has been after 8 hours and your tan is fully developed, it will be harder to remove a spray tan it is not totally impossible. Other methods that may help correct problems are 3% peroxide (used in eyelash tinting, not hair tinting, as this could burn your skin), bicarbonate of soda (used in the kitchen), lemon juice and salt scrub.

Getting the best out of your tan - Part2

How to fix your tan! If your tan is streaky or uneven, take a long hot shower of bath. When your tan is wet, it may be palpable Start by using your fingers and see if you are able to move the tan around. Using strokes similar to applying lotion, try to even it out and move it around to create a more even appearance. This does not always work, but often will if the spray tan is 24-48 hours new. If you have a darker tan around your wrists, after showering take a lemon wedge or lemon juice, apply to the area and use a towel to try to remove. The acidity of the lemon helps remove the tan.

Cold weather skin care

Skin care tip of the week! Cold weather skin care- Part One- Cleansing & toning! Sticking to your usual regime when the thermometer plummets, cold winds whip up and central heating is turned up can mean lizard lips, alligator elbows and chapped cheeks. In summer, with the right sun protection, you can get away with minimum attention and still look great. But in cold weather, skin, hair, body and make-up all need winter-proofing. TLC for faces- more moisturising, more gently, more often. Soap strips the skin of its natural oily protection and no cream can ever replace that moisture, so stay away from soap especially in the colder weather.  Cold weather can incite skin sensitivity, to detergents, fragrances and lanolin. So choose a gentle, water-soluble cleanser that’s non-irritating to skin. After cleansing, if you feel you have to use a toner, make sure it’s alcohol-free.
