Skin Care tips for Summer

Hello Readers.

Summer is the season when you have to take special care of your skin. You may be surprised that your summer skin, which looked radiant throughout winter, suddenly looks dull, blemished and oily. For people who enjoy winters, summers are dreadful! Your skin feels oily and sweaty throughout the day and you might find yourself skipping on a few essential products. Here’s a list of things that will help you get through this summer season effectively.

1. Cleanse your face – This is important to do even if you've been outside or at home all day! In summer months, your skin tends to get sticky even when you have been indoors for a while due to the humidity. Wash your face with a gentle face wash twice a day to clean off any dirt from the skin.

2. Toning- It is essential for oily skin as it reduces open pores on face and evens the skin tone and helps to remove tan. Astringent should be used carefully. Pour a little amount of toner on a cotton ball and apply gently on face except the eyes. Never rub the cotton ball on skin. Let it dry. One can also use rose water as a toner which soothes skin and makes it glow.

 3. SPF is Must – The sun is at it’s peak between 10 am and 4 pm. Try staying indoors at that time as it can have an adverse effect on your skin. Make sure that the sunscreen is applied at least 20 minutes before you step out. To protect your skin all through the day, generously reapply sunscreen every 2 hours as sunscreen wears off, sweats off and rinses off if you are out in the sun. According to skin specialists, an SPF-30-40 should be used during summer.

 4.Stick with waterproof or no makeup – All of us would want to look our best in the summer, but when the temperatures get high, makeup becomes a mess. If you’ve ever felt your foundation looking cakey and dry, or discovered lines form around your eyes five minutes after going outside, you know that you need to stop applying so much makeup! Let your natural glow shine through, especially when it’s hot. If you do need to wear makeup, stick with everything waterproof, and try not to overdo it because in summers less is more.

5. Drink up – Most people have the tendency to quench their thirst with an ice cold aerated drink on a hot day. Aerated drinks contain high amounts of sugar which is not good for your skin. Stick with drinking water or fresh fruit juices or the best summer cooler –naariyal paani to stay hydrated. Drinking a lot of water (15-20 glasses a day) and liquids will help the skin stay soft, hydrated and moisturized as well. Drop a slice of lemon or simply squeeze out it’s juices into your water bottle and sip throughout the day. The citric acid in lemons helps to keep kidneys healthy and is high in vitamin C, which means they will improve your immune system.

6 .Blotting paper to your rescue – Using oil blotting sheets during the day will control the shine by removing the oils from your skin.

7. Give yours hands and feet some attention too – Your summer skin care routine ought to include a little attention to your fingers and toes! All winter, your feet were pampered with soft woolen socks, but now, they’re tortured with hot sand, and dirt. Treat them to a mani-pedi once a month.

8.Store your products in the refrigerator – If your skin is prone to redness especially when out in the sun , it’s best to keep your products in the refrigerator. The coldness will reduce the dilation of the capillaries and help in subsiding the redness.

 I hope these few tips will be helpful for you for this summer season.

Put on your glasses and rock in summers.

Till then

Makeup Tips For Dry Skin

Hello all beautiful people out there.

Today I will be sharing with you some tips of applying Makeup for Dry Skin.
I do have dry skin and I know sometimes you apply makeup to hide your flaws & dark areas,but due to stretch in dry skin it turned out so patchy and doesn't hide any flaws.For this you need to be  more careful while choosing your Makeup products.You should also be ware about applying the makeup in a proper way.Here are some basic Rules you need to follow if you have Dry skin.

Pre-Makeup

Firstly wash your face with a gentle face wash and then apply your favourite moisturizer and massage it well and then wait for five minutes and allow it to absorb well into your skin .You can also use a Primer after that.Face primers fill in and smooth out the skin, so that foundation sits well on top of it, giving a soft even look.

Foundation

Always use a foundation which is suitable for Dry skin to avoid roughness on face.If your skin is extremely dry and flaking, try to avoid powder foundations. Powders tend to dry out the skin even more, resulting in a dull tired look, rather than glowing and fresh.Check the ingredient list for antioxidants and hydrating elements while choosing your foundation. It is also a good idea to use foundation which features UVA/UVB protection, since dry skin looks incredibly dull after sun-damage.

Concealer

A concealer is a must for people with dry skin, because it can effectively mask blemishes, pigmentation and rough spots.Choose a special moisturizing concealer in a cream form to smooth out uneven skin tone and mask fine lines. The first step of moisturizing is very important, because concealers can settle into fine lines in dry skin.

 Eyes

It is better to use cream-based shadows if you have dry skin.Powder eye shadows may settle into these and highlight them further. Using a nice cream eyeshadow which is designed to reflect light will make eyes look bright and the colours will stand out for a longer time.When removing eye makeup, people with dry skin must use a remover specifically for the eyes. Check the label for words like ‘hydrating’ and ‘nourishing’. 

Lips

Lips with dry skin are very sensitive to damage from sun exposure and cold climate. Lips balms with intensive moisturizing ingredients are essential to protect from chapping and drying.Tinted lip balms are a great way to add color and moisture to your lips.When buying lipsticks, try to avoid matte lipsticks. Dry lips become even drier with matte formulas. If you must use these, apply them over a layer of balm first.

Cheeks

The best thing you can do for your cheeks is to use mineral cream blushes especially formulated for dry skin. These have rich hydrating properties and add a smooth glow. Many of these also come with SPF, so that you have the added advantage of protection your sensitive skin from further sun damage.

Makeup Remover

Never sleep with makeup on no matter how lazy you feel after a long day. This can result in clogged pores, acne and skin irritation. Moreover, makeup is already drinking up your skin’s moisture. Leaving it overnight is bad enough for any skin type, and it is disastrous for dry skin.Choose one that is made only for dry skin so that it returns lost moisture to the skin as it gently deep cleanses away layers of makeup and impurities from the pores.Follow with a moisturizing night cream that can work to heal and hydrate your skin while you sleep. Look for products with rich moisturizing elements such as aloe vera.

Final Suggestion

Don’t think that dry skin means you can’t flaunt your makeup skills and look radiant and rosy. If you take basic precautions such as choosing cream-based moisturizing products over powder ones, you should not have much trouble. Buy products with good SPF content to minimize effects of sun damage. 

I hope these small points will help you choosing & applying Makeup for Dry Skin.

R u tired of being on Strict diet plans and always end up by giving up??

Don't have time to hit the gym?

We all know loosing weight is not as easy as we think but trust me it's not even as complicated as we make it.

Here I'll be sharing some simple & easy Tips which you can follow to loose weight.

1.Be Realistic 

You must know that weight loss is very challenging. It comes with a price. You have to follow a particular plan in order to get maximum results within the shortest period of time. However you must also remember to be realistic about it. It is not possible to lose 5 kgs in a week. The maximum you can lose is 1 to 2 pound per week. It might not be a drastic change but will certainly help you feel light. 

2. Set a Time Table 

You have to set a time table for yourself. Follow a proper routine. Set up the time when u wake up.Have your meals on time.Don't do Yoga & Exercise immediately after eating.Time plays an important role.

3. Remove Sugar

Sugar should be the last thing you think about while trying to lose weight. It contains a lot of calories and fat that lowers your chances of weight loss. It is also difficult to burn all the calories. If you really like to have sweets then have fruits. Add strawberries, mint and lemon to your drinks to add more taste.

4.  Eat Vegetables

When you are trying to loose weight it is better to focus on veggies! Eating more fruits and veggies is a natural and quick way to drop the pounds. It is high in fiber and water which fills you up within just a few calories. Cook them perfectly without any added fat. Also add some lemon drops for seasoning in every dish you make for yourself.

5. Short Bursts Of Exercise

To get the results you really want, try short bursts of exercise. Try something that burns body fat. Cardio circuit for 15 minutes or the skipping rope for 10 minutes seems like a good idea. You could also do some aerobics steps. Keeping yourself  busy and active throughout the day also helps.

6. Exercise In The Morning

A smart way to burn the pounds is to exercise early in the morning. You can burn extra 100 calories throughout the day by doing a couple of quick and easy exercises. Walk a mile within 20 minutes or clean the house for 30 minutes. You can jog for 10 minutes or just use the skipping rope for the same period of time. This will help you lose weight within a week without dieting.

7.Eat Healthy Snacks

Eating healthy snacks will also boost your chances of losing more weight. Make sure you carry something nutritious in your bag every time you step out. Fruits, granola bars or a packet of plain popcorn seems a better idea. These low calorie snacks are better than the higher calorie treats.

8. Whole Grains

Opting for whole grains is also a good choice. Brown rice, brown bread, whole wheat, oats and buckwheat fall under this category. They fill you up within fewer calories and improve cholesterol levels too.

9.Drink Green Tea

Drinking green tea daily is an excellent strategy for weight loss. Studies have declared that green tea can boost the calorie burning engine in your body temporarily. It is also a refreshing drink that boosts metabolism and removes belly fat easily.

10.Reduce Your Portions

If you are trying to lose weight within a week, it would be wise to reduce the size of your plate. Eating less means fewer calories. And fewer calories mean more weight loss. When we are dining, we often tend to eat way more than we are supposed to. Cut the portions in half and make sure you are choosing smaller portions. When you are eating at home, remember to keep away yesterdays leftovers.

11.Vitamin C

Vitamin C is a must for all weight loss plan. Fruits that fall within this category are grapefruits, oranges, kiwis etc. They keep your body healthy and prevent binging. Vitamin C burns body fat into fuel which ultimately leads to weight loss.

12.Sleep

When you sleep more, you weigh less. Now this might sound surprising but it is entirely true. To lose weight, you must take rest. If you are someone who likes to work late at night, you do end up eating more than you should be. Losing sleep can affect your body shape, reduce the production of hormones and lead to belly fat.

 13.Drink Lots Of Water

Drinking 2 to 3 litres of water is a must for every weight loss plan. Drink a glass of water before starting a meal and finish it off with another glass. Make sure you carry a bottle of water in your bag before stepping out. People who drink more water and less of soda or other calorie filled drinks have higher chances of losing weight.

14.Lift More Weights

Weight lifting is a smart way to lose body fat. It will burn body fat and help in building lean muscles. It is also true that more muscle means quicker metabolism . This will put all the calories you are consuming to better use.

15.Be Positive And Stress Less

Don’t focus on the scale; focus on how it feels. Positive aspects build self esteem, reduce stress and improve your weight loss experience.

I Hope these tips are helpful for you all.
