Hair goes haywire when its cuticle isn’t lying smoothly. This tends to happen more frequently with curls, but any texture can get frizzy with the slightest weather change. “You may not notice an increase in humidity, but your hair will,” says Chaz Anderson, owner of Dragonfly, a top salon in Atlanta. Moisture in the air works its way into your strands and causes the cuticle to plump up and out instead of lie flat. Frizz also happens—even in the desert—when hair is damaged. “I see a lot of women whose hair has become rough and frizzy because they use heated styling tools frequently,” Chaz added.

Get your hair’s cuticle to lie down and play nice by limiting heat styling and using a weekly mask, such as L’Oréal Paris EverPure Moisture Deep Restorative Masque. “When your hair is hydrated from the mask, it won’t need to pull in moisture from the air and puff up,” Anderson says. If frizz is still a problem once you make these changes, apply a styling product with silicone, which helps to seal the cuticle.

• Provide the illusion of a thicker top lip by lining its furthest edges and foregoing liner on the bottom lip.
• Lipstick will stay on longer if the whole lip is filled in through lip liner before lipstick is applied. If you choose to utilize this technique, be aware that darker lip liner will darken the look of your lipstick. And, if you are going for a light glance use a light lip liner.
• In no way use a dark liner with radiance lipstick. Defined lips are enormous, but ensure the liner matches the lipstick or gloss. Dark liner and radiance lips are tacky.
• Employ a lip brush to apply your lipstick, beginning through the center of your lips and brushing outward. The lip brush permits your lipstick to go on more consistently and gives you more control.
• Forego lipstick if you have a cold sore. Select instead for a camphor-based lip balm to assist in healing.
• Never utilize a test lipstick on your lips. It’s now plain unhygienic. As an alternative, test lipstick on your fingertips. It’s an earlier fit to your lips than the back of your hand.
• Lipstick can substitute for a blush. But not at all use blush as a lipstick.

Understand your skin type (normal, dry or oily) and use a cleanser that match. Remember to rinse your face with warm water after using a cleanser, as any residue will continue to work on the skin if not completely removed. Avoid using soaps as it can dry skin and wash away essential oils. It also alters the skin’s natural balance since soaps are generally alkaline, whilst skin is naturally acidic.

Using toners is also a good thing to get great skin. Toners are designed to remove any last traces of cleanser, while also helping to tighten and refine pores and prevent the build-up of dead skin cells.

Moisturizing helps restore the moisture loss caused by the drying effects of sunlight, central heating, wind, cold and pollution. A good daytime moisturizer should contain a sunscreen and will be easily absorbed into the skin. Nighttime moisturizer should be richer, more nourishing cream, as this is when your skin more readily absorbs moisture.

Grate some paraffin wax onto wax paper. Then measure 1/4 teaspoon of this grated wax into the plastic bag. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon petroleum jelly, 1 candy melt and 1/8 teaspoon oil-based candy flavoring.

Seal the bag and carefully put it in a bowl of hot tap water to melt ingredients for about 3-5 minutes. Only tap water is to be used and never use a microwave or stove to heat the water.

Once all the ingredients are melted well, remove the bag from the water. Squish ingredients around in bag to mix thoroughly and cut off a tiny corner of the bag and squeeze gloss into the clean container. Let it set for an hour, or store it in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.

Use a cotton swab instead of your finger to apply gloss. Your lip-gloss should last a long time. If it changes color, odor, or texture discard it.

Not coffee, I know coffee has water. It also has an abundance of interesting chemicals including caffeine, which raises your heartbeat, exaggerates stress on the body and causes diuresis, or loss of hydration. All these things combine to make for ravaged, hag-like skin, which if that’s what you’re aiming for, is just fine. But those of us who want to hold off hagdom as long as possible have to face the facts: that cappuccino may taste good, but it’s going to increase under eye circles, make your kidneys work harder than they should, and can result in breakouts, flushing and blotchy skin.

The facts are these. Not Pepsi, not beer, not juice, not even tea can replace the magical, rejuvenating effects of that old classic, WATER (H2O).

Indian Ethnics.com, has some good Indian (and non Indian as well) beauty tips on makeup and skin care for teens. Here’s the secret: If you are getting ready for a night on the town, choose a foundation closest to your natural skin tone, and foundation that is to be sure to blend it past your jaw line and across your neck (so it doesn’t look as though you’re wearing a mask). When it comes to eye shadow, choose a color slightly darker than your eyes.

The current wisdom suggests applying mascara by holding the brush still but blinking your eyelids over it and allowing the lashes to pick up their own coating. You should apply a second coat of mascara only to the top lashes for a long lasting, voluminous look. Have a mineral oil based eye makeup remover on standby to correct any mistakes without having to take off all the mascara. As a final thought, whenever possible, please purchase cruelty free products that will allow you to use products without the stain of unnecessary animal testing attached.
