How to Unclog Pores the Naturally?

Friday, 16 October 2015

Our pores become clogged easily because of the dirt and pollution that we have to face every day. This is also aggravated when we are fond of using makeup and when we just leave it on while sleeping or when we don't remove it completely.

When our pores are clogged by these things, it's important that we learn how to unclog them; it's even better if we learn how to unclog them the natural way. So how do you unclog pores naturally?


1. Do not ever forget to wash your face...

Washing your face twice a day, especially before going to bed is one of the natural ways to unclog your pores. Washing your face is obviously important since it will remove the dirt, oils, makeup, and even bacteria that, if left alone on your face, can surely cause a lot of problems that are worse than having clogged pores.


2. But don't wash too much.

However, washing too much is another matter. Over-washing and frequently scrubbing and rubbing your face with a washcloth should never be included on your list of ways to keep your pores unclogged. Instead of washing away dirt and bacteria, over-washing will just rupture your clogged pores and damage the delicate lining of your skin. It can also strip your skin from its natural moisture, making it dry.


3. Steam at home

Steaming is probably one of the best methods. You can do this at home (no need to go to the spa) by soaking a towel in hot or lukewarm water and then pressing it on your face, washing your face with lukewarm water, or you can also boil water and keep your face a foot from the steam (just be careful!). The hot water will allow the pores to open, so that it's easier to unclog them by using a gentle cleanser. Afterward, wash your face with cold water or even place some ice cubes gently along your face; the cold water or the ice will close your pores back up.

4. Have a citrus rub

Rub an orange peel or fresh lemon juice on your face. Orange and lemon contains acidic properties that are found to have cleaning properties good for removing blackheads. It also contains ascorbic acid, which clears the oils, bacteria, and pollutants on the face, making both these citrus fruits one of the cheapest and most natural methods.


5. Apply your homemade mask/paste

Another method is to apply a flour mask by taking a gram of flour and mixing it with rose water and a few drops of lemon. This can minimize your enlarged pores and even get rid of open pores. You can also use some whipped egg whites with a few drops of lemon, a mashed avocado, or papaya paste as another pore minimizer option.


Having clean and unclogged pores is one of the secrets to smooth and pimple-free skin. When our pores are clogged, skin problems, such as blackheads, whiteheads, and follicle irritation resulting in pimples and acne, can happen. This is exactly the reason why women have to know how to unclog pores so that they'll maintain the smoothness and flawlessness of their face. Jacqueline P.

How to Conceal Pitted Acne Scars with Make up ? - Useful tips

Wednesday, 8 July 2015

Acne scars are a lasting reminder of acne, whether recent or from years ago. While there are different surgical procedures for reducing or eliminating these scars, most people rely on some form of concealer makeup to cover them up. Depending on the type of acne scar you want to cover, you will need to use different techniques and makeup.

There are several different types of acne scars, including pitted, raised, and post inflammatory hyper pigmentation (which is not technically a scar). The methods discussed in this article address the ways to cover pitted scars, such as icepick, boxcar, or other depressed scars. These types of scars present a challenge to conceal since they are not even with the rest of the skin.

In order to best conceal pitted acne scars, you will first need to use a filler to raise the scar as much as possible to the same level as the rest of your skin. Two ways you can do this are with:

    Wrinkle fillers. If they can fill wrinkles, then they can do the same with pitted scars. While these are unlikely to raise the scar significantly and are only temporary, they can reduce the amount of concealer you need to fill the scar.
    Thick, creamy concealers. A thick concealer that is the same color as your skin can be applied with a very small concealer brush. Apply a small amount of concealer to the pitted portion of the scar. Dab and blend carefully so that the concealer stays in the scar and the edges blend with the rest of your skin. A couple good concealers for scars are Kat Von D's Tattoo Concealer and Smashbox High Definition Concealer. Cover FX also has a very wide range of colors for concealing scars on the face or body.

Tips for the best coverage:

    Always look for a concealer that is as close to your skin tone as possible. If anything, use a slightly lighter tone, since a depressed scar can cast a slight shadow, making it look darker.
    If the scar is discolored, use a corrector first in green (for red scars) or yellow (for bluish scars). Peach colors can also work with scars that have a blue tint. Use concealer after the corrector, if necessary, to even out the color to match the rest of your skin.
    If applying foundation, put it on after using any wrinkle filler but before your concealer. If you apply foundation after concealer, you risk wiping off the concealer that you just worked so hard to apply. Also, you may need less concealer after applying foundation.

    Always set your concealer with a loose powder. This will set it and keep your makeup from smearing during the day. This applies to both face and body makeup.

While it is possible to conceal your acne scars, it is still best to prevent them in the first place. Any time you get acne, whether it is just one pimple or many, treat it right away and keep your hands away from your face. Be particularly careful of any inflamed areas since these are the blemishes that are most likely to result in scars. There is no real substitute for the advice of a dermatologist when you have moderate to severe acne. However, do not wait until your acne is bad to start treating it. Sharyn Sheldon

How to get perfectly shaped eyebrows

Wednesday, 17 December 2014

Perfectly shaped eyebrows can accentuate the beauty of your eyes, so it's important to spend that extra time to get them properly trimmed.

International creative director of Paul & Joe Beaute, Craig-Ryan French shares his top tips for beautiful brows, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Follow these tips for beautiful brows:

- Nobody's eyebrows are totally symmetrical. A mentor once explained - Think of eyebrows as sisters - not twins. They will resemble one another - but they will never be identical.

- To balance wider set eyes, start brows a little closer together. For closer set eyes, begin slightly farther apart.

- The ending tip of the eyebrow should never drop below the level of the beginning of the brow. Brows should sit on the same horizon line or the slightly higher, but never lower.

- Beware of too-thin brows as it can actually make you look older.

- Use an eyebrow pencil, or powder that matches the colour of your own eyebrows.

- Exception: If you have pale or blonde eyebrows, use a colour that's one or two shades deeper than your natural brow colour - this prevents blonde brows from looking washed out, especially when other eye make-up is worn- Times of India

Unusual Home Remedy For Neck Wrinkles

Thursday, 23 October 2014

We are ready to take all kinds of special measures to get rid of those. We apply anti-aging creams and lotion, take dermatologists' help and read all kinds of beauty advice columns to get rid of wrinkles and reduce their appearance. But what we forget is that wrinkles appear on other parts of our body as well especially on our neck! So what happens is that we manage to reduce wrinkles in our face but the wrinkles in our neck remain in place making us look older than we actually are. But it can be avoided some very basic home remedies for wrinkled neck. Do them diligently and you will have not only a youthful face but a plain wrinkle free neck as well.

Exfoliation Scrub Made Of Sugar

When you exfoliate your skin, you remove surface layers of the skin where dead skin cells, dirt, impurities and excess oil accumulate. The same happens to your neck. If you don't apply any home remedies for wrinkled neck in time, these dead skin cells will make the neck look much wrinkled and dry than it actually is. But do the exfoliation as gently as possible so that you don't scrape or hurt the skin. The best scrub you can get in your home is sugar. The granules in sugar are small and rounded making them perfect to buff off dead skin cells but without harming your skin. To make the sugar glide easily on your neck, combine it with other substances like honey and massage in onto your skin with slow circular motion. Keep it for five minutes and then rinse off with warm water. Do this exfoliation only once a week and not more.

Acidic Compresses

One of the great home remedies for wrinkled neck is acidic compresses. By applying products that are rich in vitamin C to your neck, you will not only tighten and tone the neck skin, but will also boost the skin there to produce new skin cells. Look into citric juices like lime or lemon juice to get hold of a source of Vitamin C. After exfoliation the skin, apply this citric juice with a small washcloth to your neck. Keep the juice-soaked cloth on the neck for the next 10 to 15 minutes by which time, the skin around the neck will be rejuvenated by the acids and vitamin C in the juice. You can do this up to three times a day.

Neck Mask Of Olive Oil

The next step to your home remedies for wrinkled skin involves a mask made of olive oil. After you have sufficiently exfoliated your neck skin and applied the acidic compress to it, now hydrate your neck with an emollient oil to make sure you skin is soft but not with clogged pores. Since the times of ancient Greek and Romans, olive oil has been the moisturizing agent for us and is still best to play this role. It will keep you neck skin supple and moist and just a dime-size is enough for that. All you have to do is massage this oil deeply onto your neck and let it be absorbed by the skin. As the nutritional value of olive oil is quite high, use it as many times as you want on your skin depending on your need.John Socratous shared this article.

DIY Home Remedies for Dry Hair

Sunday, 12 October 2014

There are many culprits that can cause dry hair - pollution, sun exposure, stress, and even hair care products are some of them. However, you don't need to worry because quick fixes for your thirsty tresses are right at home and in your fridge or your pantry.

Mayonnaise

This tasty condiment doesn't just work on sandwiches - it can totally pamper and condition tired, parched hair. Mayonnaise is full of three important ingredients that do wonders for the hair: protein, oil, and L-cysteine.

Protein and oil are the building blocks of hair - the protein rebuilds and strengthens hair structure while the oil coats the follicles and moisturizes the strands. L-cysteine is a powerful antioxidant and a major component of hair, and reintroduction of L-cysteine to dry hair will give strength, hydration, and shine. Obviously when it comes to hair treatments, mayonnaise works miracles!

To make your very own DIY home remedy using mayonnaise, start by picking out full-fat or real mayonnaise so that you get the true ingredients and full benefits. Get half a cup and allow it to warm up to room temperature.

Wet your hair with warm water so that the follicles will open up and absorb the nutrients better. Slather on the half cup of mayonnaise with a comb and ensure that all strands are coated. Put on a shower cap or a warm, damp towel, and leave on for a minimum of fifteen minutes. (If your hair is super dry, leave it on overnight!)

When you've let your hair marinade in the mayonnaise for as long as you need, rinse it off with warm water. If you're staying in, don't shampoo for another 24 hours so that the oils remaining in your hair will continue to condition and repair your locks. However, if you need to head out the door, give your hair a quick lather with a mild shampoo.

Your hair should be smooth, shiny, and moisturized when you're done!

Coconut Oil

In recent years, the health, cooking, and beauty industries have been going nuts for coconuts! Among its many benefits is that it works great as a hair conditioner. Studies have shown that among common oils used for hair care (such as sunflower oil and mineral oil), coconut oil has the ability to actually penetrate hair. This means that it nourishes hair from the inside and its conditioning benefits won't be washed away during your next shampoo!

To make a DIY home mask for dry hair using coconut oil, grab some coconut oil from the Asian section of your grocery. Coconut oil tends to solidify during colder temperatures, so don't be surprised if it looks like it's glazed over.

There are two ways of using coconut oil as a hair mask: you can use it either before or after shampooing. Coconut oil works best with dry hair, so keep that in mind when you plan to use it.

Start by getting a dime-sized amount of coconut oil and warming it gently in the microwave. Be sure that it isn't too hot so that you don't burn your scalp!

Now, if you're going to slather it on before shampooing, have your shower cap and your hair drier ready. Comb it through your hair, ensuring that you get it on every strand from roots to tips. Cover your hair with a shower cap and leave the oil on for 30 minutes. Afterward, remove the shower cap and expose your hair to gentle heat from your hair drier for 5 - 15 minutes. This will help the oil penetrate your hair, ensuring that you get a deep conditioning!

When you're done blow drying your hair, shampoo and condition as usual.

If you plan to use this mask after your bath, make sure that your hair is completely dry before putting it on. This time, prepare a smaller amount that's also warmed so that the oil is in its liquid form. Comb it through your hair with focus on the tips to prevent split ends.

When you're done, you'll have deeply conditioned and happy hair! - Ochena Bikel

8 Antiaging tips that make you look younger in 50's

Thursday, 2 October 2014

A couple of fine lines or a hint of greying hair are the signs of ageing, which is inevitable. However, facial treatments sans surgery, skin rejuvenation creams, and products for hair care are effective solutions for anti ageing after 50.

In this article, I will highlight the tips for anti ageing after 50, especially when it comes to skin. Women over 50 will greatly benefit by these tips, which help them enhance their innate beauty.

Effects of Age on Skin and Hair

Spending large amounts of time in sunlight, genetic factors, improper diet, and smoking have detrimental effects on the skin. Obesity and stress, too, have harmful effects on skin. When you age, the skin fails to produce new cells rapidly, like it did when you were young. Hence, the skin becomes dry and loses elasticity. The detrimental effects are seen in the hair as well. During the process of ageing hair pigment cells demonstrate less efficiency in the renewal process, making hair grey.

8 Skin Care Tips for Anti Ageing after 50

By following simple tips for anti ageing after 50, you can look younger. Here's how you get started.

1) Stop Smoking: Studies have shown that smoking results in premature ageing of the skin.

2) Avoid Tanning Salons & Sunbathing: It is necessary to avoid direct contact with sunlight between 10:00 am and 2:00 pm because sunlight is strongest during this time. If going outdoors is unvoidable, wear sunglasses, long-sleeved shirts, or a hat. Research has linked blotchy complexion, age spots, and freckles with exposure to sunlight.

3) Treat Dry Skin: Make use of a humidifier. In addition, use lotions and moisturising soaps.

4) Focus on Healthy Diet and Hydration: Proper nutrition helps the skin repair itself. By consuming large amounts of water, you can ensure that your skin stays hydrated.

5) Wear sunscreen when outdoors: Use sunscreen having an SPF of 30 or higher and which provides protection from both UVA and UVB rays.

6) Undergo Checks for Skin Cancer: If your skin undergoes major changes, consult a doctor immediately. Elderly individuals and people with fair skin are at a higher risk for cancer. Hence, a yearly check is recommended.

7) Give anti ageing products a shot: There are several anti ageing after 50 products in the market. Several lotions and creams can rejuvenate your skin, thereby enhancing its natural beauty. Pentapeptides are a chemical compound that help the skin cells in the production of collagen, which makes the skin more firm. Other options include retinoid creams and prescription medication.

8) Enhance your Knowledge: Dysport and Botox injections can eliminate wrinkles on the upper regions of the space. Chemical peels help reduce fine lines and smoothen the skin near the mouth and eyes. Wrinkle fillers can erase lines, resulting in a plump skin. Microdermabrasion eliminates ultra-fine lines, enhances skin tone, and helps in the rejuvenation of your complexion. Last but not the least, laser resurfacing improves skin that is damaged by the sun and reduces scars and other problems related to facial skin-By Tamboli Azeem

Top most Tips To Prevent Chest Wrinkles

Friday, 25 October 2013

Women are more predisposed to the appearance of chest wrinkles than men. That is because the skin on the chest is thin and fragile. It is susceptible to the effects of aging.

It is important to fight the skin aging process daily. The following are some of the tips that can help prevent the appearance of chest wrinkles:

1. If you are a side sleeper, use a chest pad. Side sleepers often experience this skin problem. That is because the skin on this part of the body gets compressed by the upper and the lower shoulders. The compressed structure leads to the weakening of dermis tissues.

Side sleepers should consider using chest pads to keep the skin strong and resilient. These are available in the skin care market. You can stick it to your chest right before going to sleep. If not, you can train yourself to sleep on your back.

2. Always keep your chest skin hydrated. Apply a moisturizer loaded with anti aging ingredients and sun protection. Most women forget to moisturize their neck and chest. The face is often the focus of concentration.

Use a moisturizer loaded with CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10. CynergyTK can help boost collagen production. It infuses functional keratin to the dermis. This is a kind of complex protein responsible for the regeneration of collagen and elastin dermis tissues.

Phytessence Wakame is the type of sea kelp that works in removing harmful enzymes. These enzymes tend to attack hyaluronic acid. This is the acid that supplies moisture to collagen proteins.

Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is an antioxidant with smaller molecular structure. As an antioxidant, it can fight harmful free radicals. But because of its small molecular structure, it can penetrate deeper into the skin to get rid of more harmful free radicals.

3. Try using avocado mask. Avocado is one of the best natural remedies for wrinkles. Wrinkles are often caused by excessive exposure to the sun's UV rays. The components of avocado can help correct skin damages caused by cumulative sun exposure. This also contains nutrients that can spruce up the core functions of your skin.

4. Try using copper peptides serum. Copper peptides help in the production of collagen. We have an intrinsic supply of copper peptides. But as we get older, this declines. You can infuse copper peptides and bring back the natural elasticity of your chest skin. You can also increase your intake of foods rich in copper. This can be found in green leafy vegetables, legumes and nuts.By Elizabeth Simpson

How to Remove Skin Tags without difficulty at Home ?

Wednesday, 23 October 2013

Skin tags are little growths of skin that are usually shaped like a piece of cauliflower and can appear in the most inconvenient parts of your body - faces, necks, under arms. And, for the ladies, these maddening little stalks of skin often appear under your breasts and around the pubic area.

Friction with clothes can cause massive irritation - and bleeding and infection if located where clothes touch your body. Skin tags can erupt in more than one place on your body, and sometimes, in great numbers. They often happen in clusters, and are always rather ugly in appearance.

Your friendly dermatologist can remove these little nuisances easily and quickly - mine were removed surgically, with Novocaine to deaden the skin, and one stitch to close the wound. But, this was expensive, and now I've learned that there are very effective home remedies that you can use to safely remove skin tags.

Make Sure What You Have Is A Skin Tag

This is most important - because skin tags are minor skin growths and things like moles and skin cancers are not. The classic skin tag shape is usually elevated and  flat or slightly rounded - similar in appearance to a single stalk of cauliflower.

The size will almost always be less than one-half inch (and often, much smaller). The "head" of this growth is usually attached to your skin by a thin "stalk" called a penducle. The color is most often the same as the surrounding skin, or possibly slightly darker - but not dark.

Moles and various skin cancers usually look much different than a skin tag. If you have any doubt that your growth may be a mole or some type of skin cancer - see your dermatologist! Warts and skin cancers are not to be treated at home!

For those who want to remove their skin tags at home - naturally and easily, I've researched the subject and have come up with a few ways you can get rid of them at home - by your self. Once again - be absolutely certain that you're not dealing with a more serious skin problem before you attempt to remove them.

Dry Them With Baking Soda & Castor Oil

Isn't it amazing - yet another use for baking soda! This method will dry your skin tags up, and is especially convenient if you have a patch or cluster in close proximity. And, both ingredients are cheap and readily available - your local drug store should have both!

Mix the castor oil and baking soda to form a paste - on the thick side so it won't slide off your body. Try to keep this paste on the tags for several hours a day - maybe use a rag or cloth to hold it in place? You should see them dry up in less that two weeks.

Tie Them Off With Dental Floss

This method is a little more invasive than  the baking soda/castor oil - and a lot faster, too. You'll need some dental floss or other strong thread, some hydrogen peroxide or other strong anti-bacterial product, and a pair of sharp cuticle scissors. Make sure everything is clean, and sterilized in alcohol, first. Tie the thread or floss tightly around the base of the skin tag, cutting off circulation, and numbing in the process. Then, using the cuticle scissors, cut the tag off as close to the base as possible. Wash immediately and apply anti-bacterial solution - then put a band-aid on and you're finished!

Good old Duct Tape

This method may not work for everyone, but for those for whom it works - they love it! Cut a piece of duct tape small enough to cover the skin tag - and not much else. Apply the tape to the growth and keep it on as long as possible. Replace often. After a couple of weeks, you should see the tag drying up and coming off!

These are just a few of the many home remedies designed to show you how to remove skin tags.By Stephen J. Thomas
