Smile Some Useful Skin Care Tips

  1. If your product causes your skin to shine even though it has no oil in it you can use a Kleenex to absorb the shine. Place the tissue lightly over the shiny area and smooth over with your hand. This can be done over make-up as well.
  2. Remove make-up with cleansing creams, they are designed to gently remove make-up without damaging skin. Follow up with your appropriate facial cleanser.
  3. When removing anything from underneath your eye always wipe from the outside inward toward nose. Your eye muscle is around your eye (like a donut )in the same direction as your eyebrows. Rubbing against the direction of your eye muscle can later on loosen delicate skin from muscle.
  4. When adding skin treatments do so after using your toner. Wait 40 seconds for proper absorption before adding moisturizer or sunscreen after treatment application.

natural pink lips

*Tips For Natural Pink Lips**
For those who have dark lips and want to make them pinker, apply a
paste of cold milk and turmeric on them. Keep this mixture on for five
minutes, and do it for a week or more and see the difference.
Most people moisturise their face and body but pay little attention to their
lips. During winters, lips lose their moisture and get chapped and flaky.
So apply a generous dose of
petroleum jelly or lip balm as these will also help keep your lips soft.
Apply some beetroot juice on your lips before you go to bed. Since beetroot acts as a natural stain, by the
time you wake up in the morning, you'll have natural looking pink lips.
Grind red rose petals finely and use them on your lips. Not only will they
give a rosy colour to your lips, but will also keep them healthy.
Use a sugar and lemon scrub to exfoliate the skin of your lips. This will
remove all the dead skin, will get ridof dark tea/coffee stains and leave your lips soft and pink!


A few Quotes on Healthy Life




Amazing Benefits Of Tomatoes

Tomatoes



1) Diarrhea


If you’re having diarrhea, try drinking the juice made by stirring the tomato paste from a dozen dried slices of tomato into a cup of water.
2) Bloodshot eyes
To relieve bloodshot eyes, eat 1 or 2 fresh tomatoes first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.
3) Face Peels

Tomato is excellent for purifying and rejuvenating your skin. Rub off the top layer of dead skin cells with the gentle help of tomatoes. Rub tomato slices directly onto your clean skin, focusing on areas with lots of blackheads. Tomatoes contain Vitamin C which has healing powers, and an acid which eliminates dead skin and unclogs pores, making skin soft and radiant.
4) Acne Scars

Slice up a tomato and place it on your face. Tomatoes are rich in Vitamin A that prevents overproduction of sebum that causes acne. Vitamin A also has antioxidant characteristics that refreshes and renews scarred and damaged skin.
5) Dark circles under the eyes
Make a paste using 1 tsp tomato juice, 1/2 tsp lemon juice, a pinch of turmeric powder and a pinch of gram flour. Keep the paste under your eyes for 10 minutes. Dark circles will disappear after several treatments.
6) Sunburn
Soak peeled tomato slices in buttermilk before applying them directly on your sunburnt skin. The acidity closes up the pores and soothing agents present in tomatoes will relieve the pain.
7) Eczema
If you have a skin problem such as eczema and skin sensitivity to sunlight, try drinking tomato juice everyday. You will begin to see the difference after a few weeks.
8) Wounds and sores

Tribal medicine men often prescribed potions made from the leaves of wild tomatoes to heal wounds and sores. Take a slice of fresh tomato and place it on the wound. The infection will normally clear within 2-3 days.
9) Mouth ulcers

If you have mouth ulcers, gargle tomato juice 3-4 times a day.
10) Anemia
If you’re anemic, drink a mixture of apple and tomato juice. The rich iron content in the tomato will help relieve your anemia.
11) Morning sickness

If you’re suffering from morning sickness during your pregnancy, drink a glassful of fresh tomato juice, mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper early in the morning. It is considered to be an effective remedy for morning sickness.
12) Lose weight
Want to lose weight? Do you know that 100g of tomatoes contain only 20 calories? These calories are easily absorbed by the body. The low calorie content makes it a favorite of obese people and is often recommended in weight loss program as it provides you with some of the essential vitamins and minerals, fills your stomach and doesn’t add calories to your body.

Beauty Importance of Deep Cleaning Your Beauty Tools

When was the last time you washed your makeup brushes? Or even looked closely at your makeup products? Have you noticed your powder makeup developing a hard thick layer? Chances are you haven’t been washing your powder puffs and makeup brushes. The hard layer developed on top of powder is bacteria and oil from your skin which has caused your makeup to harden. A powder puff absorbs any oil on your skin which will transmit the same oils on your face to the compact. So every time you go for a touch up with your pressed powder- you are applying the same oil and bacteria back onto your skin.Washing your makeup tools such as powder puffs, sponges and brushes requiresdeep cleaning once a week or more depending on how often you wear makeup. We tend to never think about ‘cleaning’ our makeup tools, quite often I’ve seen my friends and cousins use the same makeup product for months at a time without considering washing their makeup sponge or power puff. I can’t stress enough how important it is to wash your tools, its just as important as throwing away your toothbrush every month.
Benefits of Cleaning Your Beauty Tools:



  • Powder Makeup Items Will Last Longer
  • Smoother Makeup Application
  • No Bacteria Buildup Causing Skin Irritation and Acne
  • Makeup Will Not Look Muddy on Your Skin

HOW DOES PURE WATER ACT?

Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as Haematopaises. That the mucosal folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method, is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that new fresh blood is produced by the mucosal fold. If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucosal folds they are turned in to fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern.

7 Food Ingredients That Are Destroying Your Mood

Food not only affects your waistline, but it can also affect how you think, act and feel emotionally. Many foods or food additives we consume can wreak major havoc on our nervous system, resulting in moodiness, fatigue, anxiety and even depression. The tiniest hidden traces of these mood-wrecking foods can leave you feeling down. Know what foods to look for to ensure your mood isn’t compromised.

1.
White flour



The fact that white flour is bad for your health isn’t necessarily groundbreaking nutrition information. However, this powdery white substance also sneaks its way into foods like soups and salad dressing by acting as a thickening agent. Because of its empty calories and high blood glucose content, even a small amount can cause mood swings and hunger pains. 


Rule of thumb: If it’s white, don’t take a single bite. Instead, choose 100% whole grains or gluten-free options.

2.
FD & C Red No. 40




This food dye is one of the most commonly used dyes. Its sole purpose is to make food colorful and enhance the flavor, and it's hidden in everything from frosting and chips to sports drinks and fruit snacks. However, don’t let the bright color or tastes fool you: this additive is linked to hypersensitivity and ADHD among children and adults. 


Rule of thumb: Don’t be misled, stay away from RED. Ensure even your favorite organic snacks are free and clear of this harmful dye. 

3.

Hydrogenated oils




Hydrogenated oils are processed oils that are used by manufacturers to extend the shelf life of products. Hydrogenated oils are also responsible for creating trans fat in foods. Trans fat is shown to increase cholesterol levels and increase weight since your body has to work extra hard to digest it. It can also cause brain fog and severe moodiness. 


Rule of thumb: The shorter the expiration date, the better for your weight. (And your happiness!) Opt for products that expire within a week or two. And always choose healthy oils like organic coconut oil or organic extra virgin olive oil.

4.
Aspartame


Aspartame is an ingredient used to sweeten “sugar-free” products on the market. While you might think you're doing yourself a favor by skipping the sugar, you might want to think twice. Aspartame is a chemical that has been shown to cause headaches, digestive issues and even seizures. 


Rule of thumb: If it says sugar free, it most likely means hazardous chemical concoction. Instead, sweeten foods with 100% raw cane sugar, coconut sugar or raw honey.

5.
FD & C Yellow No. 5


Our bodies aren't meant to process chemicals, and that certainly applies to this one. Yellow no. 5 is a food dye most commonly found in cookies, soft drinks and even gum. If a product contains high quantities of yellow food dye, it can give food or drinks a yellowish glow. This food dye has been linked to asthma, allergic reactions and mood disorders. 

Rule of thumb: If it contains yellow, say hell NO! Always take caution before eating foods or candies that are extremely colorful, as they're more likely to contain food dyes.

6.
Monosodium glutamate



Monosodium glutamate, also known as MSG, is commonly used in packaged foods to enhance flavor and extend shelf life. Many products like chips, soups and frozen meals contain MSG. Consuming even small amounts of this ingredient can lead to light-headedness, nausea, feelings of anxiety and weakness. 


Rule of thumb: If it contains MSG, it’s no good to me! (or my body!) But be careful; the FDA(Food & Drug Administration) doesn’t require MSG to be listed as an ingredient. Always choose products that are organic or labeled “MSG Free.”

7.
Sugar
Sugar is hidden in almost every processed and packaged food, including chips, sauces, fruit juices, cereals and energy bars. Sugar is often disguised by one of its many names: dextrose, fructose, corn syrup, lactose and sucrose. Eating foods that are high in sugar can contribute to health issues such as diabetes, thyroid issues, depression and weight gain. 

Rule of thumb: When sugar is a main ingredient, opt for a sweet fruit as a supplement. If you really have a fix for something sweet, opt for a healthier version of your favorite treat.
