Skin care during daytime

A daily skin care is a must. The neglect or care that the skin receives over years plays a part in how quickly it ages, though there are other factors involved like- general health, diet, environment and hereditary characteristics. Having recognized your skin type and having chosen proper skin care products, you must allow yourself an extra few minutes in night (Refer Skin care at night) and morning to complete your skin care beauty routine. Also keep in mind these 5 golden rules of skin-care, mentioned in a previous post. It should become as automatic as brushing your teeth.
1. Cleaning: Thoroughly clean your skin while bathing with a mild soap that is non- drying. Ideally, your soap should be enriched with moisturizers to prevent giving you a tight, dry feeling after the bath. Every alternate day, use a face scrub (Try lemon face scrub) to gently exfoliate the dead skin.
2. Moisturizing: Use a good moisturizer and massage it all over the face with the fingertips. Preferably, massage the moisturizer on a wet face so that the skin retains as much moisture as possible. Moisturizer acts as a good base either for the make-up or as an essential skin protector for those who wear no make-up.
3. Use of a good skin protection cream: Our skin is subjected to the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sun for all the 12 months of the year that results in darkness and tanning of the skin. Of all the skin’s enemies, the sun is the worst. It drains the moisture from the skin, dehydrating it and helping it to age prematurely. Hence, after moisturizing, you must use a good ‘sunscreen’ cream high in SPF. Refer to the post on sunscreen for more…
Even if you do not go out in the sun quite often, yet a good sunscreen protection is a must as even the slightest exposure to the sunlight significantly darkens the skin. Evidence is the footwear marks on the feet or the wrist-watch marks on your wrist.

    Probably the easiest, cheapest, and best way to benefit your skin is to drink lots of water every day. Drink at least one gallon of water daily. Consume even more water if you drink other beverages such as coffee, soda, or alcohol. This is important because these beverages tend to dehydrate you. Regular exercise as well as a healthy diet is both key to promoting healthy skin. Plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and nourishing nuts can do wonders for a tired and troubled skin

    Reapply sunscreen if you stay in the sun for a long time. It’s a good idea to carry one in your handbag.

    Use a primer underneath your foundation.
    And use a foundation that's right for your skin!
    Sometimes you even have to use a translucent matte powder during the day to keep your face from being shiny...I used to have your problem with the curled lashes... What I do now - I have a curler (from ELF) I use it once before 1 layer of mascara (max factor, something fake lashes.. or lancome hypnose), then after the mascara I wait 30-45 minutes before I gently curl them again and put on another layer of mascara..
    OR buy a heated curler!

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
