| Get a sun
block that suits your skin type (Normal, Oily
or Dry). |
| A sun tan lotion is better than a cream
for oily skin. |
| Herbal concoctions are
better for sensitive skins as they have fewer
side effects. |
Use a sunscreen that has a moisturiser and
apply on the neck,
behind your ears, arms and exposed neck. |
| Apply sunscreen atleast
45 minutes before you go out in the sun. |
| Spray perfume on your clothes and not on
your skin. |
| Try added protection like
a hat, longer sleeves etc. |
| Lots of carrots - they have Beta-Carotene,
which is a skin protector. |
| Avoid Spinach, if you
have a sun allergy. |
| Drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water everyday. |
Take in as much of Vitamin
E as possible. Wheat germ and
custard apple are good sources of Vitamin
E. |
| Milk has lactic acid which when applied,
acts as a mild peeling agent. |
| Potato juice has a soothing
effect and lightens a tan. |
| Samantha Kochhar,
one of the country's leading Make-up artists,
gives us some very useful make-up tips. |
| First and foremost, throw away the items
in your make-up kit that are more than two
years old. |
| When applying lipstick,
fill in your lips with a lip liner first.
By this way the second coat of lipstick stays
longer. |
| For people with dark coloured lips, apply
some foundation and lip balm first, then a
lighter shade of lip colour, say a pink. Then
apply lip gloss and over it the original lipstick
you have chosen. |
| If you see any liquid
or water coming out of the lipstick, keep
it in a refrigerator. |
| If you mix foundation and sunscreen in equal
quantities and apply, it makes for an excellent
day make-up that also protects the skin. |
| If the foundation starts
to curdle, do not use it anymore. |
| When you are buying a concealer, buy something
that is one shade lighter than your skin tone.
|
| Before applying make-up,
follow the CTW procedure (Cleaning, Toning
and Moisturising). Follow the same for removing
make-up. |
| Any make-up is good only for 6-7 hours.
|
| For beautiful and mysterious
eyes, use 3-4 shades of eye shadow on your
eyes. Apply a darker shade towards the edges
of eye-lashes. |
For dusky complexioned people, use burgundy
and maroon range
of lipsticks. |
| Avoid using very old lipsticks.
They might cause pigmentation of the lips |
