Tips For Overcoming The Effects Of Cold Weather



Action Plan For Overcoming The Effects Of Cold Weather:

* If you wash your face, do so at least half an hour before
   you go outdoors. This gives your skin a change to dry
   thoroughly. If your face is slightly damp, the wind has
   an extra-drying effect.  
* Wear a richer moisturizer.
* Apply night cream to replenish moisture lost from the
   skin during the day.
* If your skin is flaking, avoid abrasive scrubs. Use a very
   gentle complexion exfoliator.
* Remember to take care for your hands and nails, too,
   as the skin here can also suffer in cold weather.
* Always apply waxy lip salves or balms to your lips which
   are especially vulnerable to dehyration.
* Add oils and moisturizing gels to your bath and apply
   body-lotions every day.
* Never come in from ice cold weather and immediately
   roast yourself in front of a hot fire, as you will dry your
   skin excessively;  the rapid contrast in temperature can
   also break capillaries, leading to red thread veins.
* If you are skiing or are outside in sunny, but cold weather,
   apply protective lotions on every part of exposed skin.

Make-Up Tips For Perfect Complexion



Foundation

This has several beauty benefits. It evens out skin tones,
smoothens the skin’s texture, provides a base for other
make-up, and keeps colors true.

Color Check

* Do not use the back of your hand to check the color
   because it is darker. Apply a little on your jaw-line
   and check.
* Check this in daylight.

Foundation Mixes

Foundation and powder in one handy ready-mixed compact
are the short-cut to a natural-looking complexion. They are
smoothed on with a sponge and suit most skin types, except
very dry skins.

FOUNDATION TIPS

* Keep in mind your skin type and needs when buying your
   foundation. It should not look uncomfortable.

* If you have dry skin, look for a creamy, moisturizing
   formula.   

* For oily and combination skin, an oil-free or water-based
   make-up is best.

* Water-based foundations give a matte finish.

EYESHADOW TIPS

* Pressed powder eyeshadows give excellent coverage and are
  useful for building up color intensity; the colors also keep true
  during wear.

* Loose eyeshadow powders tend to be pearly and slightly finer
   textures than pressed and are best used as highlights or for a
   soft sheen.

* Cream eyeshadowis by far the most difficult to use and it tends
   to sink into the crease of the socker-line after few hours.

Skin Care Tips



How To Take Care Of Your Skin..!

Cleansing:  This is one of the best method to have a good skin.
A quick cleanse in the morning and a thorough cleanse at night
are important for every skin type.

Tips To Remove Eye Make-Up:

* Dab a little eye make-up remover on to two cotton wool pads.
   Never use tissue on eyes.

* Use one pad for each eye (to avoid infection) and hold it against
   your lashes for a few seconds to dissolve the make-up.

Tips To Wipe-Off Cleanser:

* Warm the cleanser in your hands so that it does not go on cold.

* Smooth it over your face with your whole hand, starting at the neck
   and working up and out.

* Place your thumbs under your chin and work the cleanser in little
  circles with your index fingers around your nose and chin.

* Remove the cleanser by wiping it off gently with a soft tissue or a
   piece of cotton wool.

Tips For Using Toner:

* Sweep the toner on to your face with a cotton wool pad, moving up
   and out, avoiding the eye area.

* Blot your skin dry with a tissue.

Tips For Steaming:

* Cleanse your skin first.

* Pour boiling water into a bowl and lean over the steam.
   Draping a towel over your head and the bowl will prevent
   steam escaping.

* Be very careful not to get too close to the water. Do not steam
   for more than few minutes.

* Apply a cleansing mask afterwards, while your skin is still warm,
   or cleanse your skin again and massage moisturizer into it.

Steaming warms and softens the skin making it easier to remove blackheads.
