5 Beauty Must-Haves to Pack in Your Suitcase

Every woman wants to look her best at all times, even when she is traveling. While your regular makeup routine may include enough items to fill a salon, when you hit the road, bringing along your entire arsenal of beauty supplies just isn't an option (unless you are prepared to pay for the extra baggage fees). Don't panic; you can look amazing and only pack a few beauty items.

Here's a look at five essential products to bring on your travels:

BB Cream: Blemish balms, more affectionately referred to as a "BB cream," has taken the beauty world by storm, and for good reason: They provide a host of benefits for the skin. This cream acts as a moisturizer, an SPF, a counselor, and evens out skin tone. With one product, you can get the benefit of at least four different products! Now that is a beauty product worth traveling with.

Pressed Face Powder: Traveling can easily give a glossy, undesirable sheen. With a pressed face powder, you can keep that shine away. Why go for a pressed powder over a loose one? Because you won't have to worry about opening up your bag in your well-priced, cheap hotel to find that your loose powder exploded all over everything, and it's much easier to apply, especially when you are on the road - or on the rails or in the air.

An Eye Shadow Palette: You can travel light and still give yourself shadow color options, thanks to an eye shadow palette. This palette features a selection of colors so you'll have choices, yet it is compact enough to travel easily.

Mascara: Even without any other product on your face, mascara can automatically give you a more polished, put-together look. It defines the lashes and opens the eyes, giving you an instant lift. A waterproof formula is a good pick while traveling because it won't rub off, even when you doze off on your flight.

Lip Gloss: Keep your lips soft and supple while adding a little tint of color with lip gloss. Choose a formula that has staying power so you don't have to constantly reapply. If you feel like you need a little pop of color on your face, you can even put a little bit on your checks and rub it in to act as a blush.

Talk about being innovative!

Travel light and look fantastic at the same time with these five beauty products.

Simple ways of acquiring a clear & blemish free skin

It is not necessary to go to expensive beauty parlours or buy expensive creams and lotions to acquire a blemish free & clear complexion. A few homemade remedies are provided below which will serve the purpose equally well. Hope this will benefit the readers. 1. Always wash your face with mild soap so that the pores breathe fresh air. For a clear and attractive skin mix besan, turmeric (haldi), lemon and milk together. Make a paste. Apply it on the face. Let it dry. Wash with clean water. Wipe your face with a soft towel and pat it dry.

The ache of acne (pimples)

Acne is often the bane of a pretty face. It is painful more emotionally than physically, for the scar that it leaves behind can last for a lifetime, adding to one’s miserable look & feeling. No doubt many expensive skin care clinics have mushroomed in ever nook & corner, offering to clear all the scars & blemishes on the face, but they are very expensive & charge exorbitant price for each sitting; not everyone can afford them. So why not try out this simple skin care regimen to minimize the damage caused by acne & as far as possible prevent its eruption.

Aspirin for acne-prone skin

Aspirin has been around for a long time and its health benefits are wide and varied. Aspirin , or acetylsalicylic acid is a salicylate drug, often used as an analgesic to relieve minor aches and pains , as an antipyretic to reduce fever , and as an anti-inflammatory medication. Aspirin's greatest benefit is reducing cardiovascular events including heart attacks and strokes. According to the American Heart Assoc. virtually all women are at risk of heart disease and doctors should more strongly consider prescribing a daily aspirin for their female patients. There is growing evidence to suggest regular aspirin use may reduce cancer and dementia as well. Investigators from the Women's Health Study have reported important new findings demonstrating that aspirin reduces the risk of a first stroke in women. When given to someone immediately after a heart attack, aspirin decreases death by 25%.

I Tried a Headache Balm and Ended Up with Rashes

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
