Pimples Prevention Programe!!!

Hi girls!!! m Back with some pimples prevention programe as summer is here at its peak and everyone is suffering from pimples. Do your face looks like this???

Then you should follow these steps to prevent them.

CAUSES OF PIMPLE???

      well the main cause of pimple is hormonal imbalance in our body when it is going through some changes. The hormonal disturbance causes an increase in oil production. Generally this oil is produce to moisturise your skin. While lubricating,oil clogs the pores of the skin and dead skin cells,dirt and some other matters may also trapped in these pores. And when this happens bacteria starts to grow and cause acne. And studies has shown that our face has more oil glands than our body thats why it is more likely to have pimples.

HOME REMEDIES:

   1: steaming your face.... as it opens the clog pores.... view my detail review on this      

       here

    2: Apply toothpaste on to your pimples at night and wash it off in the morning.

PREVENTION :

• Wash your face twice a day. Make sure you use the right facewash for your skin type. And wash it with some hot or warm towel as heat will help to open clog pores.

• Avoid sharing towels with each other as this could spread bacteria.

• Wash your hair daily or after 2 days (must). As oil from hair rub on your face

• Touch yoyr face as little as possible 

• Avoid squeezing pimples as it can cause spot and also bacteria on your hand spread to other parts too.

• Stay away from junk foods,caffine and salty foods and try to get as much as possile fibres in your diet. (fresh vegetable and fruits)

• limit your exposure to sun (otherwse apply sunblock) and stress in your  life. 

• Drink a lot of water.

• Moisturise your face daily after shower and bathe especially, as the water cause your skin to dry out and if it is not moisturise properly, skin will produce extra oil and cause pimple 

As it is said prevention is better then cure... so you should prevent pimples by following the prevention programe above... Let me know if it helps

Lip Care !! Definitely Kissable lips girls :)

 I know most of you girls always suffer from dry and flaky lips probably whenever you want to go out with your friends. And when you apply lipstick or any lip product on them, your lips looks horrible and not atrractive enough.

          so to transform your lips from dry, flaky lips to soft,smooth and kissable you should try this remedi... Its so simple and works instantly.

lets get started.

• Put a little bit of any balm on your finger and apply it on to your lips
• Take a hot water and dip any soft towel or cloth in it, squeez out water and put it on to the lips. Temperature from hot water is going to soften your dead skin
• Now, when towel gets cold, remove it. 
• Take out any old mascarra brush , which is not in your use (or you can take a disposible mascarra brush available at any drug store) to scrub your lips. The mascarra brush is going to remove all the soften dead skins and flakes
• After you are done with the above step, apply any solid lips balm and then any lipstick (pick out color suited with the occassion)

Result:

Other Tips:

• Instead of mascarra brush, you can just use any tooth brush to remove any dead skin/flakes. But dont press it too hardly
• After brushing your teeth at night, Apply any moisturiser on your lips and rub it until you cant see anything. Then get some more moisturizer and apply a thick layer on lips so that you cant see your lips but moisturizer and leave it on overnight. Till morning it will get absorb in to the lips leaving them soft,smooth and perfect

Home Made Scrub:

• Mix small amount of coarse sugar (size of coarse sugar is larger then that of normal one) with few drops of water and apply it on lips. Rub it gently for 2-3 mint and wash it with water. Apply olive oil or moisturizer on them
• Mix salt, white sugar and vaseline and apply it on to lips. Rub it gently to remove any dead skin. Then wash it off. If your lips are too flaky then apply it 2-3 times a week

looking  forward for response :)

Steaming Your Face!!!

Hi girls!!!

          Today m going to tell you the method and benefits of steaming your face about which almost every woman not even bother to think about. Well steaming your face is very ancient method of deep cleansing your face.

Steaming your face once a week, will result in a glowing,healthy,acne and wrinkle free skin. (belive it or not everyone wants that skin ). Steaming widen up your clogged pores and helps them to clean, free of dirt and oil. It also provide moisture to your skin and stimulate the blood circulation.

           When you steam your face, the high temperature causes the pores to open and because of that you can easily cleanse your face off the dirts, make up traces, the excess sebum and the dead skin cells. While your pores open you can get rid of black heads from your nose and chin.

        Ideally a proper skin care routine should include the steaming your face once a week so that your skin might get rid of harmfull effect.

Keep It In Mind !!! 

• Before steaming your face,wash your face and remove any make-up
• Cover your hair with towel 
• After steaming, dry your face with towel well, then apply facial mask if needed. otherwise just wash with cold water.
• If you are effected by acne or any skin problem then you should use medical creams or special ointment after steaming,as pores are wide open.
• After steaming , avoid applying any make up on the face and give enough time to skin to get relax.
• After facial mask, use cold water,ice or pores astrigent lotion to close the pores.
• Don't panic if after first session you notice blemishes. It is normal, girls.

How To Steam Your Face:

1. Take appropriate amount of water in a wide vessel and put in on the stove. Boil it
2. If you want, put some herbs (like rose loeaves,lemon flower,green tea etc) that suits your skin to create a fresh scent 
3. Then boli it on low temperature for 10 mints to let herbs to extract effective stuff. 
4. Use  your towel for covering and stand directly over the steam (for 5 to 10 mint for normal skin and for sensitive skin it should be 3-5 mint). Keep a distance from vessel so that you dont feel uncomfrotable.
5. Dont stand too near, as your skin may get burnt if sensitive or get irritated.
6. Once steaming is done, rinse your face with water. and after that you can use facial mask.

Now you are done here, with impurities free, smooth and glowing skin. Imagine that and feel the vibrant looking skin. 

Do it and share your views girls :)

Causes:

• Heredity is the primary cause of dark cirlces. yes it is!!! The gene related to dark circles are actually the gene that causes weakend the capillaries in the skin around the eyes.So the one born with thinner skin under the eyes, are more likely to have dark circles.
• Exposure to the sun can worsen your dark circles. Sunlight darkens your skin by producing melanin. These boosted melanin causes your dark circles to look darker
• Lack of sleep doesnt cause dark circles. But lake of sleep,fatigue or illness causes your skin pale,which emphasizes your dark circle. 
• Ageing is also the cause of dark circles as it causes skin to become thin and transparent.
• Allergies is also connected to dark circles. This is a fact. Allergies causes eye to become itchy and rubbing them or area around eyes causes tiny vessels to damage and darken the dark circles.
• Iron Defficiency!!! This problem is more dominant for women during special times of the month.
• Lack of vitamins and unbalanced diet can cause dark circles.

• Get you beauty sleep. It usually 7-9 hrs per night. but varies from person to person and time to time. Try to get that amount regularly for couple of weeks to see if that helps. reduce your stress to help you sleep more
• Eat a healthy, balanced diet, take vitamins and drink plenty of water... Reduce salt intake,it causes puffiness under the eyes.
• Stop smoking NOW!!
• Slice cucumber in to thick slices and place them on both eyes,extending over the darkened areas. Do this daily,for like 10-15 mint.It will reduce the puffiness and refresh the skin around eyes.
• Apply cool tea bags or an ice wrapped in a soft cloth on the eyes. Avoid apply ice directly on eyes.
• Put a spoon for 10-15 mint in freezer. Take it out and cover the circle with it.Hold it there until the spoon gets warm
• Apply an eye cream containing vitamin K and retinol
• Use a concelear to cover the dark circles.

Exercise:

• In morning,while on your bed, rubb both your palms with each other until they feel warm. Close your eyes and cover them with your palms. Avoid applying pressure on the eyeballs. After 1-2mint remove palms and rub them again. repeat the process for 3 times.
