Beauty Tip - Home-Made Lemon Skin Care

Packed with sunshine lemons are bursting with health benefits. Just the thought of them makes your mouth water and their refreshing fragrance lifts your spirits. Everyone knows the benefits vitamin C rich lemons have on the body but few know their cosmetic properties. For centuries women have used lemons to cleanse, tone and condition their skin. As a natural antioxidant they combat the signs of aging by helping to stimulate collagen production. The cosmetics industry uses lemons to produce a range of skin care preparations, but they are expensive. You can make lemon rich cosmetics at home cheaply and easily using items from your kitchen store cupboard. Here's how.
Cleansing should always be the start of your skin care regime. To make a facial scrub mix together equal parts of lemon juice, oatmeal and honey. Add water until it becomes a runny paste. Store this gentle cleanser in the fridge and used every day to clean and condition your skin. To use take a small amount in the palm of your hand and moisten with a little warm water. Rub your hands together until evenly distributed, scrub your hands gently over your face paying attention to the creases at the sides of your nose and mouth or any oily patches. When finished use the excess to scrub the backs of your hand, then rinse your face and hands with plenty of warm water. Pat dry with a soft towel. This cleanser is cheap enough to use as a body scrub before a bath or shower.
Use lemon juice to tone the skin after cleansing. Try this recipe. Take two tablespoons of lemon juice, one tablespoon of vodka, one tablespoon of witch hazel and two tablespoons of water. Pour into a bottle and shake well, store in the fridge and use as needed. Apply to skin with a cotton wool pad and leave for three to five minutes. Rinse the face with warm water and pat dry with a towel. Do not use on damaged skin as it will sting.
After cleansing and toning use moisturizer. Make a simple and inexpensive moisturizer by blending together equal amounts of honey, lemon juice and oil. Sweet almond oil is a nice luxury but you don't need to use it olive oil is fine. Put into a bottle and shake until all ingredients have blended together. Dab on face and neck with cotton ball, use the tips of your finger to massage into skin in small upwards circular movements. Rinse with warm water and pat dry with soft towel.
Condition your skin with a weekly mask treatment. Squeeze a lemon into a cup of warm milk and stand till curdled. Put two tablespoons of oatmeal and a tablespoon of oil into a bowl and add the curdled milk, stir well. The mixture must runny enough to spread on the skin but not too runny that it slides off. Smear on your face, neck, hands, legs and feet and leave for half an hour. Rub excess off with clean towel and shower or bathe in usual way. This mask will improve pimples and the overall condition of your skin. Use this preparation to soften the skin on cracked heels and aid healing.
Home made skin care products are not just inexpensive alternatives to off the shelf cosmetics. You are in control of the ingredients. You know where you bought them and how old they are. You can choose to use organic, eco-friendly or fair traded products and you can even make sure they were not produced by child labour

The Story of Mineral Makeup

Makeup created from natural minerals is the newest fad these days, but this is something that has been around for a while. The ancient men and women were the first ones to use natural colors as adornment on their faces and bodies.
Now that the methods of production are more advanced, makeup started becoming unnatural and filled with chemicals, some of which are even carcinogenic. Mineral makeup is an effort to return to the natural ingredients, using minerals that occur on the earth. These are ground into powders and are used as base for the cosmetics.
There are plenty of companies that have their own lines of mineral makeup: BareMinerals, Sephora, Jane Iredale, and many more. They each have their own specially formulated base but the composition is almost the same for all these brands. They sell for different prices depending on the label they are sold under. You can read Bare Minerals reviews as well as reviews of other mineral makeup brands online.
All mineral makeups have the same base for the most part; they differ in the pigments, dyes, and extra minerals added in them. A lot of people are making the switch to mineral makeup because they are becoming more aware of the hazards of chemicals. This kind of makeup is a great change from the carcinogens that we take in on a daily basis.
The trend these days is towards being more healthy and avoiding products that harm our bodies and even our environments. This explains why makeup from minerals is becoming such a hit. If you ask dermatologists whether this kind of makeup is better than the traditional ones, they will tell you that even they themselves are using this. This is something that should give you confidence if you are weighing whether to make the switch or not.
The mineral makeup revolution supposedly happened in the mid 1970s. Producers started making cosmetics from minerals coming solely from the earth. They did not use any of the preservatives, dyes, and chemicals that most cosmetics come with. Thirty years after, the mineral makeup market started to boom.
There are plenty of forms and brands that sell mineral makeup. Usually the prices are between $10 and $50. The most-purchased kinds are blushes and foundations. There are also other types of makeup such as Revlon Super Lustrous lipstick and other lip gloss types.
But some people say that just because something is natural does not mean that it is always better. As with anything else, the opinions on mineral makeup vary. You, as the consumer, should take time to research about it and decide on your own whether to make the change or not

Breaking News! Lisa Rinna Got Her Floppy Lips Fixed

I'm sure I'll get comments on how this is not news, but in the beauty world it most certainly is. Lisa Rinna got her floppy lips fixed (see how they looked before).
Lisa explained on the Today Show in 2009 that she got collagen injections a quarter century ago and scar tissue developed and hardened, leaving her with a botched top lip. Her recent surgery fixed that (she's pictured here post-lip fix).
So how to tell if a pout is natural or not? According to Las Vegas plastic surgeon Dr. Shoib Myint, one tell-tale sign of lip augmentation is perfect proportion. Most people have a bottom lip that's twice the size of the top lip. If the lips are perfectly even, it's a "dead giveaway to those wondering if you've had work done," Myint says. Also keep in mind that lips lose volume as we age (I'm destined for pencil lines, oh well!), so if a woman over 40 has plumper lips than she did at 20, that's another "oh, yes she did."
If you are looking for plumper, bee-stung lips, Myint suggests taking the process slowly. Think of it as going from a cup size A to a B, then to a C instead of jumping straight to double D's. By staying conservative with every round of enhancements, you can create subtle volume that doesn't look cartoonish, he says.

How to Whiten Skin With Milk

We think that in order to become beautiful, we need to spend much money. You need to pay some bucks to improve your skin and other parts of the body. Some people go through cosmetic and plastic surgeries just to have the beauty that they dream of. The truth is, we don't need to spend much in order to enhance our physical appearance. You neglect to use your creativity and your sense of being economical. Did you know that you can lighten your skin using the cheap things found in your kitchen? Well, it's definitely true!
Now run to your kitchen and check if you have some milk. You're not going to drink it. You're going to use it to whiten your skin. Simple, follow the following instructions.
• Milk and Lime Face Mask: Mix a tablespoon of gram flour, 2 tablespoon of raw milk, and 2-3 drops of lime juice. Mix them well and apply the mixture on your face. Wash it off after 15 minutes. This is an effective method to lighten your skin. Do this daily for a month. Then once a week for the follow up.
• Almond and Milk Mask: Immerse four pieces of almond overnight. Crush them into a fine paste using milk. Apply this on your face and neck. Let it stay overnight. Rinse it off with cold water when you wake up. Do this everyday for two weeks. Followed by two times a week.
• Put some milk into a glass bowl. Wet the towel into the milk and rub it all over your face.
You've got to believe it because milk is a natural bleacher. It is actually one of the major components of whitening beauty products.

Make Unwanted Hair Never Come Back

In the modern world grooming is very important. One of the great inconveniences with personal grooming is unwanted hair. Think about how much time and money people invest over their lifetime in removing unwanted hair. We could simplify our lives even more if we did not ever have to worry about shaving, waxing or plucking unwanted hair. Many probably wish some hair would just go away and never come back. The latest solution to this hairy inconvenience is laser hair removal, a medical procedure that utilizes an intense, pulsing beam of light to eliminate unwanted hairs. It has become very popular.
The primary benefit of laser hair removal is that it can result in the permanent removal of hair. It does not guarantee results, but typically after six months of treatments patients experience an extended period of time hair free. Can you imagine having hair just never grow back? You might be able to throw your shaver away. Without that hair growing back you are free to save yourself a lot of time over the years not having to shave anything! The treatment also works on ingrown hairs. You may be able to say good-bye to those red bumps formed by those ingrown foes. This procedure is often painless or accompanied by very little pain. Other methods for removing hair can be much more painful, such as waxing or plucking.
Laser hair removal may be right for you. The price for this treatment varies greatly. Check with local hair removal clinics to discover if this solution fits your budget.

Illnesses - The Reason Behind Some Hair Growth Cases

An obvious growth of hair started when this girl was 21 years old. More than 20 years has passed since then, and even after she has diligently plucked, shaved, and waxed, she still has a thick and dark stubble on her chin. Another girl was plagued by dark facial hair on her upper lip and chin since she was 12 years old. Because of her embarrassment, she would often eat at a restaurant with her back toward the window so the sunlight wouldn't reflect on her.
In a vain effort to improve her self esteem, she bleached her hair as a teenager. How I felt about myself depended sometimes on what the time of day was. These two girls can now say that they have found something that works after years of feeling self conscious and being experimental with different hair removal techniques. The laser hair removal system is the answer they have found to getting rid of unwanted facial hair.
Since 1997, this procedure called laser hair removal involves using intense light to heat and destroy hair follicles underneath the skin's surface. While hair growth may not be entirely permanent, it does extend the duration of hair loss for thousands of men and women who don't want to be seen with hair in certain places of their body.
So far, it's the best thing that I've seen to help someone like myself who has been plagued with hair growth her whole life. I find it incredible, even if I walk out there not completely hairless. This lady has requested for additional treatments and a couple or so touch ups in between since her first treatment. Only five black hairs are all that can be seen on my chin, she said, indicating that the procedures are truly a success.
Of all hair removal techniques, this is by far the most effective in existence. Once uncontrollable, this problem is now manageable. Excess body hair is caused by a condition called hirsutism, polycystic ovary syndrome, and sometimes even prescribed medication.
A good number of men join the numerous women who look at laser hair removal as a solution to excess hair problems they may have. People see the treatment as another option one can consider if he or she does not want to shave or wax areas in the body with unwanted hair. The other girl was so pleased with the treatments on her face, she also decided to get her underarms done. Though she was not inconvenienced by shaving, she really wanted something done about the shadow she felt couldn't be removed.
A patient decided to call the medical director of a local health and beauty institute to satisfy his curiosity after seeing ads of the treatment. In a similar case just like other hair removal patients, she was looking for a solution that was permanent. The director said he can't treat them because they won't be happy people. There is nothing eternally lasting about hair removal. The technology is designed to provide a long term way of reducing hair and controlling its growth in the future.
A questionnaire regarding hair growth and the places where treatment should be done is given to the patient to answer before the director agrees to treat him or her. The patient is asked about what his or her expectations are. He will politely refuse to give treatment to a person who expects not to see any hair growth after. There are those however who would go with the procedure since they would already feel satisfied with a decrease in hair growth and density for a long duration. Rather than going through the hassle of taking care of her sensitive skin, she insisted on this procedure to make her life simpler.

Get Glowing Skin with This Fall Treat


Fall is one of the most beautiful seasons, thanks to changing leaves and autumn harvests. And you can have beautiful skin to match with this fall treat: pumpkin.
This festive orange squash is rich in key nutrients that help keep skin healthy and fend off wrinkle-causing damage, according to Allison Tannis, author of Feed Your Skin, Starve Your Wrinkles.
Pumpkin Face
If you don't get enough vitamin A in your diet, your skin might get dry, writes Tannis. But pumpkin is loaded with beta carotene -- an antioxidant your body converts into vitamin A. Just a quarter cup of canned pumpkin provides over 4,000 micrograms of beta carotene. Canned pumpkin also provides you with a little iron, another skin-supporting nutrient. It's necessary for the formation of collagen, a protein that helps skin stay firm and smooth. And as a bonus, pumpkin also serves up wrinkle-fighting vitamin C
