Beauty From Inside Out..'''..

Smooth nails, shiny hair, glowing skin. For many people, these are signs of beauty—but what do your skin, hair and nails say about your health? Are they clear, vibrant and strong? These outward features can say just as much about what’s happening inside your body. Try adding the following power foods to your diet to help keep your skin, hair and nails at their best—and keep your body in beautiful health along the way.

Carrots

All those little bunnies are on to something. Foods rich in beta-carotene, like carrots, turn into the antioxidant powerhouse vitamin A. This golden nugget has remarkable anti-aging properties, promotes healthy hair and nail growth, and has been shown to combat diabetes-related symptoms. You can also find beta-carotene in spinach, broccoli, peas and romaine lettuce.

Tomatoes

Tomatoes aren’t just another powerful antioxidant--they’re also fantastic for your skin. They’re loaded with vitamin C, along with carotenoids, lycopene and beta-carotene. Translation? The same properties that make tomatoes red will keep you from getting red. Eating foods rich in carotenoids increases your skin’s protection from sunburn, especially when combined with Vitamin E. A nice way to get a dose of both is with a caprese salad: sliced tomatoes, basil and mozzarella drizzled with olive oil. Yum!

Eggs 

Want strong and healthy nails? Crack open an egg. This tasty item is packed with a protein punch that is very easily digested; your body will use every little bit of it. Along with protein, eggs also bring vitamin A, vitamin E, iron, vitamin B7 and vitamin B12 to the table. Whip up an omelet, a frittata or boil a couple of eggs for snacking throughout the day.

Low-fat dairy

Got milk? If not, grab some. Skim milk is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, a combination that helps strengthen nails and promote hair growth. Low-fat yogurt and cheeses will also give you a nice calcium boost. That’s not all: These dairy products are also packed with protein, which is beneficial since that’s what our hair and nails are made of. If cow milk isn’t your bag, soy milk is a good alternative.

Oatmeal

There’s nothing like a toasty bowl of oatmeal in the morning. Not only does it fill you up and give you energy, it’s also chock full of copper, zinc and B vitamins. These nutrients all work together to keep your nails looking healthy. Zinc in particular is a powerful tool in the fight against acne. It reduces inflammation and kills acne-borne bacteria. Try regular oats versus instant and give them a good soak before cooking to reap the most nutritional benefit.

Beans

Beans, beans, the magical fruit. The more you eat…the stronger your nails. They’ve got protein, zinc and biotin, which can help make your nails thicker and less prone to splitting. Beans are also thought to be an enhancer for your hair by combating biotin deficiencies. Most legumes are high in fiber, protein, zinc and antioxidants, which can boost collagen production and give your skin a healthy glow and elasticity. Not bad for something that comes in such a tiny package.

These foods from inside can make lot of changes from external,so go ahead include these stuff in your daily food ....

Ways to Protect Your Skin from the Sun ?

Safe in the Sun

Living your normal everyday life means that you can’t avoid exposing your skin to the sun. Repeated sun exposure adds up over the years and puts you at risk for skin cancer. So protecting your skin from the sun is important year round, even on cloudy days. But using sunscreen is not enough because no sunscreen—no matter how high the SPF—can provide 100% protection. That’s why you need a combination of sun protection measures.

Use Sunscreen

Your skin is exposed to the sun every day, so sunscreen isn’t just for the beach. Use a daily broad-spectrum—blocking UVA and UVB rays—sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher on all exposed areas. And choose cosmetics and lip balms with SPF. For beach days, use water-resistant sunscreens with higher SPFs. Remember to apply sunscreen liberally 30 minutes before sun exposure, reapply every few hours and even more frequently after swimming or sweating, and check the expiration date. 

Cover Up

In the water, consider wearing a rash guard instead of a t-shirt. Wet t-shirts offer far less UV protection than dry ones.If you aren’t in the water, cover up with loose-fitting, long-sleeved shirts and long pants. And check clothing labels for UPF information. You want materials with a UPF of at least 30.

Sport Sunglasses

Sun exposure can lead to cataracts and damage the delicate skin around your eyes. Sunglasses will do double duty by protecting your vision and your skin. For sunglasses, darker doesn’t necessarily mean better protection. Dark tints only reduce the intensity of the nontoxic visible light with no blockage of the invisible UV rays. Larger frames or wrap-around glasses provide the best protection.

Sources of Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for your health and for strong bones. Your skin makes vitamin D when it is exposed to the sun. But the sun is not the only source of vitamin D. You can also find it naturally in fatty fish—tuna, swordfish and salmon—and in fortified foods, such as milk, cereal, yogurt, and orange juice.

Understanding your Acne and How to treat them.

Introduction

Acne is hard on your skin, but it can also affect your self-confidence. You can control acne with several different acne treatment options. Usually, the best way to manage acne is with a combination of treatments. 

Skin Care Routine

Squeezing pimples and scrubbing your skin can make acne worse. It also can lead to scarring. So, the first step is to wash your skin gently twice a day with a mild cleanser. Also make sure your makeup and skin care products are oil-free and say "non-comedogenic" on the label. Which means it’s not likely to clog pores.

 Cleansers

People with mild acne often use over-the-counter skin cleansers that contain benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These cleansers remove dead skin cells, kill bacteria and dry up skin oils. Products with these ingredients come in many different forms, including gels, creams and pads. The cleansers usually work well to clear mild forms of acne. Even so, it may take up to eight weeks before you see improvement. 

Chemical Peels and Extractions

A doctor applies chemicals to the skin for these procedures. The chemicals, such as glycolic acid, loosen blackheads and help unclog pores. Do not try to give yourself a chemical peel. This procedure requires special training. For an extraction, your doctor may remove pimples with a device that looks like a pen. Large acne cysts may also be surgically drained.

What to Avoid With Sensitive Skin ??!??

Sensitive skin can take many forms. Sometimes, it will be a simple case of irritation; other times, it could be a serious outbreak of eczema with severe itching, redness, and even bleeding. Even more, it’s difficult to identify the triggers that might bring about flare-ups.

But there are things you can avoid to minimize irritating sensitive skin. The first thing you should do is visit your dermatologist to see if there is any underlying medical cause for your skin issue. In the meantime, stay away from the following.

• Avoid scented laundry products. Although the smell of clean laundry can be refreshing, chemicals found in laundry detergent can cause irritation for those with sensitive skin. Other triggers to avoid when it comes to clothes are brand-new clothes that haven’t been washed .New clothes may contain formaldehyde or other chemicals. Natural fibers such as 100 percent wool can also irritate sensitive skin.

• Perfumes, bath bubbles, or scented lotions. When in doubt, read the ingredients on your cleaners and soaps, and keep it simple. Avoid using spray perfumes and body splashes; instead, consider using natural oils.

• Prolonged exposure to water. It would seem as though moisture would be a good thing, but too much water from a long bath or swim can cause skin flare-ups. Take short baths and keep the temperature lukewarm.

• Reduce stress. People tend to experience higher incidences of eczema and rosacea when under stress. Introduce a relaxation technique into your daily life, such as meditation, yoga, or walking. With increased physical activity, be careful about sweating too much, which can irritate sensitive skin, too.

If you do have a prolonged, unexplained rash or irritation, it’s always best to visit your doctor. Some forms of eczema, like atopic dermatitis, may require prescription creams and medications.

Nail Polish Storage .!.

Hi Friends, few days back I got an email who asked me almost every girls problem , How to store Nail paints ??? So here you can read out how to,,

How To Store Your Nail Polish :

We need to store our nail polishes in the right way if we want them to last for a longer .

We need to store our nail polishes in the right way if we want them to last for a longer time.

Store nail polishes in a cool, dark and dry place
–When your polishes are exposed to direct sunlight and heat the polish will thicken and the color will start changing. The best place to keep your nail polish is under your bed or in drawers.

Place your nail polishes in an upright position
– If it doesn’t stand in the right position the polish will slowly leak into the cap making the bottle hard to close. This will definitely dry out the polish and create air bubbles.

I would suggest getting transparent storage boxes or shelves/racks. Even a shoe box will do the job. I found this cute idea where you can store your nail polishes in a little suitcase. I love that!

If your nail polishes are stored in drawers or in boxes it can be difficult to see what nail polish color it is so here’s a quick tip: 
Take a pieces of paper and cut small circles and tape them on top of each of your nail polish’ lid. Paint the paper piece with the nail polish and now you know what color polish it is.

I’ve also heard that keeping your nail polish in the fridge will extend its shelf life by slowing down the discoloration that happens when nail polish gets older,how far this workes i never tried.

I hope you found these tips useful!

Tips for Keeping Your Makeup in Place During Hot Summer Months .

Read through below to see our tips!

We know, it's so annoying when your makeup starts melting during the Summer months. The heat means you're going to sweat, but it also means your skin will likely produce more oil.

There's some simple steps you can take before, during and after you apply your makeup to keep it all perfectly in place.

1.Try using a clay mask once a week to reduce your skin’s oil production.

2.Apply foundation only where you need it – and if you can, skip it altogether! Especially in the summer, do not over-apply.

3.Light, sheer coverage is best – choose a tinted moisturizer and use concealer where you need it.

4. If you can’t skip foundation, use a primer first, and then apply the foundation with your fingertips.  This will warm it up and when you hit the summer sun, it won’t be such a shock.

5.Set with translucent powder.

6.Use an eyeshadow primer - it helps keep your color vibrant and keep it from sliding or creasing.

7.Cream and pressed powder eyeshadows are best because they’re less likely to move.  Silicone-base are good.

8.Heat up lash curler to really curl them – but do it carefully! Crimp twice: the middle and edges.

9.Dust a translucent powder over your lashes (with eyes closed), then apply mascara.  It’ll cling to the powder and last longer, your lashes looking fuller at the same time.

10.Water-resistant is better than waterproof, as it’s less harsh.  Test a mascara in the shower to see how it holds up to the hot water. If it passes, you’re good to go in the summer heat!

11.Use a lip stain rather than a lip gloss or lipstick, it has better staying power and looks most natural.

12.If you want to use lipstick, try applying foundation to your lips first. It will create a base and help it stay.

13.If you want to use lipstick, try applying foundation to your lips first. It will create a base and help it stay.

14.Keep a makeup sponge in your bag: so that you can smooth away any creases that develop.  Then set the makeup with a light dusting of powder.

15.Also keep blotting papers with you for any oil that develops – be sure to blot, not rub! 

So go ahead and Rock this hot  summer with Perfect Makeup look.
