Prevent your skin from after make-up effects

While make-up can make you look gorgeous, it can also ruin your skin. Here's how to prevent the side effects of make-up.

1. After using thick layers of Make Up, one should not use hard soap or hard face wash to remove the Make Up, to make it smoother use baby face wash or appropriate face wash according to your make up.

2. Clean or wash your face with a cleanser which is designed for your skin type. Clean the skin properly because newly designed make ups like high definition make up, air brush make up have granules which go deep in the pores, so to cleanse your face 2 or 3 times with cleanser and non fragranced wet wipes. Use a soft flannel to remove the cleanser, make-up and other impurities from your face.

3. To remove the eye make -up always use a good remover with fewer chemicals, massage the eyes properly to get rid of dark circles. TO prevent patchy and dark skin under your eye put Alovera gel and massage it with ring finger in clockwise or anti clockwise manner. To get a refreshing feeling you can put green tea ice bags which will clean the impurities thoroughly and do the nourishment of the skin. Put eyecool drops or rosewater to get the relaxation and prevent the eyes from chemicals.

4. Pat your face dry with a soft towel. Don't rub madly - your facial skin is not only sensitive, it tells the world whether you are healthy or not. Cleanser removes make-up and dirt but you then need to use a toner to close the pores.

5. Nowadays people use long lasting lipsticks which stays for 9- 12 hours, so cleansing of the lips should be take care of. Proper cleansing of the lips is a must; remove the lipstick with mild cleanser and damp cotton or wet tissues. After removing the make- up massage them in uplifting manner, apply soft coat of Glycerine or Vaselline gelly to make your lips smoother.

6. Regular use of make- up gives allergy to your face thus prevent your skin from allergy by keeping in mind some easy things like take an anti allergic tablets, put sensitive skin type cosmetics, never rub too much while removing make- up, remove it with mild oils or baby oils or milk. If the allergy has spread all over the face then put pure Alovera gel or cool packs with rose water and you can keep wet tissues dipped in rose water and keep on putting on the affected areas.

Quick Tips: 5 Ways to Treat Cracked Nails

They're unsightly, frustrating and occasionally painful but before you can take care of your cracked nails it's helpful to understand what is and isn't causing the problem. Approximately 20 percent of the population has brittle nails -- women and the elderly are particularly prone to the condition. Many people wrongly conclude that they need to increase their gelatin intake or that they should turn to iron supplements to prevent splitting. Truth be told, cracked nails usually result from an external problem: typically nail polish or nail polish remover, lots of swimming or too much time soaking hands in water.

Those are the issues, but the following are the fixes:

• Trim: Limit the damage by trimming back your nails. Make them short and round the sides with a file. Nails don't grow very fast -- no more than.12 inches (3 millimeters) each month -- so don't risk snagging them. The regrowth period for an entire nail can last three to six months.
• Moisturize: Dry nails lead to cracked nails. Apply a little moisturizer to your cuticles and nails each night to keep them supple but strong. A good moisturizer includes protein like keratin and collagen; occlusives such as petrolatum, mineral oil or lanolin; and humectants like urea or lactic acid.
• Avoid chemicals: Cleaning products or even some dishwashing liquids can make your nails dry and brittle. You can't leave your home and dishes dirty, but you can experiment with less harsh products and limit your exposure.
• Consider gloves: If you're often exposed to chemicals or if your hands are regularly wet, a pair of plastic or latex gloves can be a big help. Some people find plastic gloves uncomfortable, however. In that case, consider buying rubber gloves with a cotton lining.
• Limit remover: Using nail polish remover more than every two weeks can cause brittle nails. If you can't cut back on the nail polish remover, at least buy those that don't contain acetone.

The vast majority of the time, cracked nails are a cosmetic issue. They rarely require a doctor's attention. Examine your daily routines for clues to what's creating the problem. Occasionally cracks occur when the nail is not too dry but instead too soft. Give them a good inspection and adjust your lifestyle accordingly. Pretty soon you'll have healthy, strong and attractive nails again.

How to Remove a Hickey

Part 1 of 3: Removing a Hickey

1

Cool the hickey. Apply an icepack or cold spoon on the hickey as soon as possible after you get it. You can wrap some ice in a towel, use pre-frozen ice packs or put a spoon in the freezer for a few minutes. Gently hold the cold compress to the skin for several minutes (up to 20 minutes, if it doesn’t feel too uncomfortable), remove the compress for several minutes, and then apply it again.

• If you're using a spoon, you will need to chill the spoon in the freezer first. You must use a lot of pressure with the spoon but should see results over a few minutes of doing this.

2

Brush your hickey with a toothbrush. A new toothbrush is preferable, obviously. Many people swear by this technique for getting rid of hickeys. Here is what you'll have to do:

• Lightly brush the hickey and the area around it with a stiff-bristled toothbrush or a comb. Doing this stimulates circulation, but pressing too hard can make the hickey worse, so be gentle.
• Wait about 15 minutes. The redness and swelling will spread, but will be less obvious after about 15 minutes.
• Apply a cold compress, as above.
• Repeat if necessary. Depending on the magnitude of your hickey, this method may work or it may just spread the discoloration a bit.

3

Scrape your skin with a coin. This method is the most painful, but it can give you real results. To do this, first, stretch the skin around the hickey flat by pulling away from the hickey on opposite sides. Then, use the edge of a large coin to scrape the skin. Use the coin like the hickey was butter on toast, and spread outward. You must press quite hard (as hard as you can, but not so that you break the skin, bleed or hurt).

• What some people believe this does is push the excess blood, which has escaped from the capillaries, out of the surface skin.
• There will be redness from the scraping, but that will go away much faster than a hickey. Even then, a scrape is much less conspicuous than a hickey.

4

Apply a layer of toothpaste to the hickey. Gently rub some toothpaste onto the hickey and leave it there for a few minutes. Then, when it stops tingling, remove the toothpaste with a warm washcloth. Wait 24 hours and repeat if necessary. You'll see better results if you can do this as soon as possible.

5

Massage the area. This helps get blood circulation going and will help at the very least to lighten the damage. Gently place two fingers over the affected area and rub them in a circular pattern in one direction. After a minute, switch and rub your fingers in the other direction.

Part 2 of 3: Hiding a Hickey

1

 

Conceal the hickey with makeup. The most effective is green-tinted concealer, as it's designed to negate red skin tones. First, use a thin brush to apply yellow corrector on the inside of the hickey, and use green corrector on the outside to negate the yellow tone. Then, apply a foundation (one a little lighter than your skin tone) directly on and all around the hickey so it's not obvious you’re concealing something. After that, apply some concealer if that hasn't done the trick.

2

Cover the hickey with clothing or hair. This is a great last-ditch effort, especially when it's cold. Try wearing a turtleneck, scarf, or collared shirt, jacket, or blouse (dress appropriately for the weather). You can also try accessorizing with a necklace to draw attention away from the side of your neck.

• You can also style your hair (if it's long enough) so it hangs over the hickey.
• Wear a shirt that draws attention to your chest and away from your neck. Don't wear anything with elaborate designs around the neck area.
• Obviously, wearing a turtleneck in the middle of the summer will only draw more attention to your look.

3

Apply arnica salve to the hickey. Arnica is an herbal salve that some claim helps reduce swelling and can minimize the appearance of a hickey. Just be aware that there is no scientific support for arnica reducing swelling.^[1] Some people claim witch hazel will also shorten hickey healing time.

4

Apply Vitamin K cream to the hickey. Vitamin K may help reabsorb the blood stuck near the surface of the skin that causes the appearance of a hickey (more specifically the redness or brownness).

Part 3 of 3: Removing Stubborn Hickeys

1

Apply heat to a hickey that lasts more than a couple days. Saturate a washcloth in hot water, wring it out, and hold it to your skin for several minutes. Reheat the washcloth with more water as necessary. Alternatively, you can try a reusable heat patch from the pharmacy – it stays hot longer, it's easy to use and cheap.

2

Wait it out. Hickeys will usually fade naturally in a couple of days to a week. There’s no sure way to get rid of one other than waiting, so be patient and try to minimize or hide its appearance as much as you can.

10 Smoothies For Prettier Skin

Put down the bronzer—all you need for a healthy glow is a helping of carotenoid-rich fruits and veggies. According to a recent study published in Evolution and Human Behavior, people who took in a daily equivalent of 15 mg of beta-carotene supplements ended up with a golden tone to their skin, one that others perceived as attractive.

But before you start popping supplements or eating enough carrots for a herd of bunnies, know this: To max out the nutritional value of your carotenoid intake, blending carotenoid-packed produce with healthy fats (like yogurt or avocado) is key. The body needs fats to convert these vitamin A precursors into the real deal, explains Rob Danoff, DO, program director of family and emergency medicine residency health program at Aria Health in Philadelphia.

These simple smoothie recipes are bursting with carotenoid-rich produce like kale, spinach, and carrots—and tons of flavor.

5 Common Causes of Skin Irritations on the Face

Skin irritations are no fun, especially when they appear on your face. They can take on various forms and symptoms – like rashes and redness, swelling, burning and itchiness of the skin – and can strike out of nowhere, making you yearn for relief. Some of these flare-ups resolve on their own, while others require a doctor’s care. But the first step is pinpointing what exactly caused the unsightly inflammation.

From the nickel in your wristwatch to the dressing on your salad, any number of things you touch or ingest can cause dermatitis (a broad term for skin irritations and inflammations). If you have sensitive skin, you may break out in hives at the mere suggestion of these triggers. In some cases, irritation occurs when a harsh substance inflicts physical damage on your skin’s outer layers. In others, the rash develops when your immune system responds to an allergen. Occasionally, both types of reaction take place at the same time [source:WebMD].

By identifying the source of your rash, you can learn to banish irritants from your counter, cupboard or yard – before they wreak havoc on your face. Next time you experience inflammation on your face, think back to where you’ve been and what you’ve done over the last day or so. Keep reading to meet five common culprits behind skin irritations on the face.

Feeling hot, hot, hot? Heat rash, also known as prickly heat or miliaria, most commonly affects babies, especially when they’re overdressed on a sweltering day. (Unlike grown-ups and older kids, infants can’t exactly peel off a layer or voice their discomfort – at least not in any articulate fashion.) With heat rash, the sweat ducts become blocked and swollen, and sweat accumulates under the skin, causing tiny dots, pimples or blisters to appear on the face, head, neck, shoulders and under the armpits [source: Mayo Clinic]. This is why infants, whose sweat ducts aren’t fully developed, are at risk.

But adults can develop heat rash too, especially if they live in a tropical climate, perspire abundantly and don’t wear breathable clothing [source: Mayo Clinic]. Hospital patients and others confined to their beds for long periods of time can sometimes get heat rash on their backs [source: DermNet NZ]. Greasy or oily face creams and lotions can also trigger flare-ups by blocking the sweat glands [source: Braff].

Whether you’re a babe in arms or a hiker in Death Valley, heat rash is easily treatable. If possible, step into an air-conditioned room, slip into something lighter and cool off in front of a fan [source: Mayo Clinic]. Cold water compresses and calamine lotion can often soothe the prickly feeling that accompanies heat rash [source: DermNet NZ].

If the spots and blisters don’t disappear after a few days, give your dermatologist a call. He or she may prescribe a topical steroid or even an oral antibiotic [source: Braff].

Ever enjoyed a juicy mango, a ripe tomato or a crisp apple, only to notice redness and swelling around your mouth and face? You’re probably experiencing a mild reaction to proteins in some fruits and vegetables (as well as some tree nuts), known as oral allergy syndrome. Chances are you suffer from seasonal allergies too, since these proteins are known to resemble pollen [source: Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania].

For more severe reactions, pop an antihistamine and avoid the food in the future. But if you’re not yet ready to give it up entirely, try cooking it, which alters the offending proteins, or removing its peel, which contains the highest concentration of allergens [source: Landau].

In some cases, food reactions that cause rashes on your face and body indicate a severe allergy, particularly if you experience other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, lightheadedness, nasal congestion, shortness of breath and difficulty swallowing. Among older children and adults, the most common culprits include fish, peanuts, shellfish and tree nuts [source:HealthCentral].

If you think you might have a food allergy, get to a doctor for comprehensive allergy testing. Although it’s rare, severe reactions can be fatal, so you’ll need to avoid the trigger and possibly carry an epinephrine injection in case of accidental ingestion [source: WebMD].

How’s this for irritating? You’re finally prescribed the right remedy for a nagging or acute health problem, but instead of relief you wind up with hives, blisters or bright red patches on your face or body. When rashes occur with a new drug, it’s known as a drug eruption – and it may mean you’re allergic to the medication [source: Patient.co.uk]. Though any medication can cause an unwanted reaction, these tend to be common triggers: Penicillin, sulfa medicines, barbiturates, insulin, anticonvulsants and drugs for hyperthyroidism [source: WebMD].

Report any mild drug reactions to your doctor, who may want to rule out other conditions before abandoning the medication altogether. In the short term, over-the-counter antihistamines can help with swelling and itching [source:Patient.co.uk].

If you ever experience trouble breathing and develop a rash, call 911 or go to an emergency room right away [source: WebMD]. And a blistering rash that covers the entire body, including the mucous membranes (aka your mouth, nose, eyes, etc.), can indicate a life-threatening drug reaction, so seek immediate help if one appears [source: WebMD].

Lazy rambles through the great outdoors can be fun, inspiring and relaxing. But redness, itching, swelling and blisters from contact with poisonous plants? Not so much – especially when it affects your face.

We’ve all heard of poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac, but that doesn’t mean we know them when we see them. Common causes of contact dermatitis, these plants release an oily resin known as urushiol, which produces an allergic reaction in many (but not all) people. You can get a rash from directly touching a plant like poison ivy, but you can also get one from clothes, shoes, gear, tools and pets contaminated with urushiol [source:Children’s Hospital of Pennsylvania].

Rashes from poisonous plants typically resolve on their own, but you’ll be itching like crazy in the meantime. Try an over-the-counter corticosteroid, calamine lotion, oatmeal baths or an oral antihistamine to stop the insanity. For very severe rashes that linger for weeks, doctors may prescribe an oral corticosteroid, such as prednisone, or an antibiotic [source: Mayo Clinic].

Contrary to popular belief, scratching doesn’t spread rashes caused by poison ivy, poison oak and poison sumac. Nevertheless, resist the urge so you don’t develop scars or a bacterial infection – two things you definitely don’t want on your face.

4 Ways To Exfoliate For Smooth, Summer Skin

Summer is all about baring that sun-kissed skin. With cutoffs, mini-skirts, and laid-back days of going makeup-free on the beach, I always want to give my skin some extra attention in the summer – and for me, that starts with exfoliation. The simple act of exfoliating removes dead skin cells from the surface, as well as oil that could potentially clog pores and cause issues. There are tons of ways to exfoliate, and many of them can be done with things you already have in your home! Here are 4 ways to exfoliate your for softer summer skin.

Oatmeal has long been used as a way to nourish the skin and remove impurities, and it also makes an excellent exfoliator.  Blend some oatmeal with a pinch of lavender blossoms until you have a fine mixture, add a little water, and use as a facial scrub!

Whole milk

The lactic acid in whole milk acts as an exfoliator, as the fat moisturizes your skin. Wash your face with a splash of whole milk, leave on for a minute, and wipe clean for smooth, hydrated skin. For your body, just add a bit of whole milk to your bath and soak in the benefits!

Coarse sea salt is a great exfoliator for the areas where your skin is the roughest – like your elbows, heels, and knees. Cut a lemon in half, cover it with a layer of sea salt, and rub these areas until they’re as smooth as can be!

Sugar

This one probably didn’t come as a surprise to you – but it’s one of my favorite ways to exfoliate! There’s a never-ending amount of exfoliating sugar scrubs that you can make. One of the simplest is to mix some sugar with a bit of olive oil and an essential oil of your choice. It’s an awesome moisturizing body scrub complete with the benefits of aromatherapy!

Skincare Tips & Treatments For Men

. If women are coy about sex, men are coy about skincare treatments. Men also face skin problems like pimples, skin darkening, shaving issues and blackheads. Dr. Rajesh Kumar, Dermatologist at Global Hospitals from Mumbai lists out the best skincare tips and treatments for men. 

Dermatologist’s tip: Always shave in the direction of the hair.

Always shave in the direction of the hair growth. First, soften the skin with shaving cream and then start from the moustache, followed by the chin, which is the toughest. To avoid in-grown hairs do not apply a lot of pressure 

Dermatologist’s tip: Use good quality 3, 4 or 5 blades razor

Depending on the thickness of your beard, change the blade after shaving three to seven times. And to avoid bacterial growth, wash the blade with warm water. 

Change it once it stop working

A sharp blade gives you a clean shave. When you shave, you cut off the hair as well as get rid of dead skin. 

Wash your face two to three times a day is sufficient

It depends on the environment, pollution, humidity and dust that surround you. The skin needs to breathe and stay clear from clogged pores. So, it is recommended to use a face wash 

Use a liquid soap or bar that is apt for your skin.

There are several kinds of soaps and they have different purposes. For additional benefits use a loofah to wash out the grime from the body. 

Body Wash:

Dermatologist’s tip: Apply moisturiser when your skin is still wet/damp after body wash. 

Dry skin makes it difficult for the skin to absorb moisturiser. Whereas, damp or wet skin helps trap moisture and water for a longer duration, so use a moisturiser.

Top 4 Moisturizers for Dry Skin

The season for dry, flaky skin is upon us. But before you reach for that bottle of lotion, consider this: Some ingredients in moisturizers can actually make your skin drier, interfering with the barrier on your skin that prevents moisture from dissipating.

"Skin creams can actually increase signs of aging," says David Pollock, a beauty-product developer turned consumer advocate and author of the book Just Stop the Lies! Secrets the Beauty Industry Doesn't Want You to Know. Emulsifiers, binding agents that allow oil and water to mix in moisturizers and lotions, leave a residue on the skin that disrupts your skin's lipid barrier, allowing water to evaporate from the skin faster. "You get a fast shot of moisture that eventually fades," he says. So you use more lotion, and your skin gets drier, and the cycle just continues.

Not only does that expose you to dozens of unregulated and untested chemicals that are ingredients in lotions, but it's costing you money, too. The cure? Look no further than your kitchen cabinet. The very same oils you use for cooking are some of the best moisturizers for dry skin—much more effective than expensive lotions and creams at just pennies an ounce, says Deborah Niemann, author of the new book Ecothrifty: Cheaper, Greener Choices for a Happier, Healthier Life and the blog The Thrifty Homesteader. It's one of the most amazing beauty tricks you may have never heard about. "You can go all out and use something exotic, and it's still going to cost you pennies," she says.

Cold Weather Skincare Fixes

But not all vegetable oils are good for your skin, she warns. Some can actually dry your skin out, while others, such as canola, corn, and "vegetable" oils, are likely derived from genetically modified crops that have been sprayed with heavy doses of harmful pesticides. To keep your skin soft (and pesticide free), here are the four best moisturizers for dry skin that Niemann recommends:

Grapeseed Oil

A by-product of wine-making, grapeseed oil comes from the seeds of pressed grapes and, says Niemann, is reputed to work as well as over-the-counter creams that cost hundreds of dollars per bottle. Many holistic beauty care experts consider it the best oil for skin, regardless of your skin type. "It's especially good for thin skin around your eyes and neck," she says, and can even reduce fine lines. Not only that, but grapeseed oil is also high in vitamin C, which brightens your skin.

Olive Oil

This is a great oil if you have really dry skin—there's a reason Mediterranean women have used it as a moisturizer for centuries. It provides intense moisture, Niemann says, and the rich antioxidants that make it so good for your insides benefit your outsides, too, fighting free radicals created by exposure to sunlight.

Sunflower Oil

Just as good as olive oil, Niemann says, but a little less expensive. In addition to being a good moisturizer, she adds, it makes for a good massage oil because it's thinner and more slippery than some of the other cooking oils you can use. It also absorbs into the skin more quickly

Apricot Kernel Oil

Like sunflower oil, apricot kernel oil is lighter than the first two and absorbs quickly, making it a great moisturizer for busy mornings. It's also full of vitamins A, C, and E, antioxidants that protect the skin from signs of aging and sun damage.

Coconut oil is another cooking oil that's garnered a reputation for being a great skin salve. But Niemann recommends against using it. It's a common ingredient in soap because it's so effective at stripping surfaces of oil, she says, and it can do the same thing to your skin. "There are people who say it's great, and if it works for them, great, but it dries my skin out," she says.

Using Oil for Your Skin

The best part about using healthy cooking oils for your skin? If you don't like the way any one of them feels, you can use up what's left over in your kitchen—no money gone to waste, and no more bathroom cabinets littered with half-empty bottles.

When you're applying any of them, Niemann recommends using just one or two drops. "It really doesn't take much," she says. If you've applied some to your skin and it hasn't absorbed within a couple of minutes, you're using too much, she adds.

Buy oils that are as unrefined as possible, as those retain the highest levels of vitamins and healthy fats. Look for words like "extra-virgin" and "cold-pressed." And like any oil you'd use in your kitchen, store those you're using for your skin in dark places away from direct sunlight, advises Niemann. If you can find an amber or cobalt jar to store them in, all the better. Those colors protect oil from sunlight. "It's like sunglasses," she says. Any oils you have in your bathroom should be used within a month, she notes. Otherwise, they'll go rancid and start to smell funky.

Making Your Own Scented Oils

Get creative with using essential oils, she suggests, if you're the type who likes scented products. Essential oils' fragrance is much more natural and comes without the hormone-disrupting and allergenic chemicals used to artificially scent commercial lotions and creams. Any fragrance works well, she says, but steer clear of lemongrass, which is very astringent and can dry out your skin, and cinnamon, which can be irritating.

Tea tree oil has been shown to improve acne, but Niemann warns that the scent is very strong. If you want to add tea tree oil to your beauty oils, she suggests using half the amount you'd use with other essential oils.
