hey guys!

these are some of the beauty tips for this summer....


Focus Face
Most women just tend to take care of their face and spend a fortune on buying facial care products. They forget to take care of their neck, back and bust. They even forget to moisturise their body and legs leaving them dry and peeling.

Cure: Stop giving the rest of your body step-motherly treatment. When you pamper your skin, go the whole way and restore the glow and beauty of your neck, back and bust. For these, you don’thave to invest in separate products. Just extend your face care to these areas. Use your facial scrub to exfoliate your neck, back and bust. Cleanse the areas regularly with a creamy cleanser every day when you take your make-up off at night. Since age shows the fastest in these areas, you can invest in a good anti-ageing cream and use it on these areas even if you don’t apply the cream on your face. This will ensure a supple neck and bust.


Cut Cuticle

You believe that for neat nails and toes you must eliminate your cuticles and cut them clean off. Simply stop the practice since this can lead to fungal infection in those areas and you may end up with a hangnail or, worse, weak brittle nails prone to breaking.

Cure: Tell your manicurist and pedicurist to avoid trimming your cuticles. Instead, soften the cuticles with a cuticle cream and then push them towards the base. Rather than cutting the dry ends, simply file away the cuticle. This will neaten your cuticle and keep the base of your nail strong. After this, apply nail-strengthening cream and massage individual nails taking care to smoothen your cuticle upwards.


Over Conditioning

Your limp hair and frizzy ends say that you love your conditioner too much. You have bought the most expensive hair care product and yet your hair is limp and falling. This is a sure sign of conditioner overdose. When applying conditioners, we tend to put some in our hair roots, which actually weakens the strands.

Cure: “When you are applying a conditioner, put it a bit away from your roots and apply the most near the ends," says Chandan Jaiswal, Kerastase Hair Ambassador. Then activate it by massaging the strands and washing off with cool to cold water. This will seal the cuticles and allow the conditioners to create a protective layer over your hair. You can apply a hair mask to the roots or a deep conditioning product, but for regular or leave-in conditioners, avoid piling it on the roots.

Summer Hair Care:
If you spend lots of time outdoors and want to spice up your look naturally, try combing a little lemon juice through your hair. The sun will lighten those strands faster than your locks sans lemon, giving you an attractive sun-streaked look. It's also easier on your budget than salon highlights. Be sure to deep condition your hair at least once a week, especially if you swim a lot. Hair tends to become dry, dull and brittle if it is soaked and
dried too often.

Here are some suggestions to keep your skin looking beautiful all summer long:

1.Drink lots of water through the day, not only to replenish moisture lost to the heat and sweat but also to help flush toxins out of the body and keep skin looking clear and lustrous. Herb or spice teas, made with skin-enhancing ingredients, offer added therapeutic benefit. To balance Pitta, choose cooling herbs and spices such as mint, cardamom and fennel. Stay away from iced beverages because they hinder digestion and can create toxins leading to skin breakouts.

2.Eat Pitta-balancing fruits, vegetables and herbs, which supply the skin with essential nutrients and come with free-radical fighting antioxidant properties while they help keep your skin cool. Carrots, lettuce, summer squash such as zucchini, celery, asparagus and leafy greens are good vegetable choices. Sweet juicy fruits such as pears, grapes, watermelon and mangoes both nourish and cleanse. Fresh ginger, cilantro, mint and basil add flavor and aromas to dishes without aggravating Pitta dosha.

3.The sweet, bitter and astringent tastes balance Pitta while the sour, pungent and salty tastes aggravate it. Go easy on spicy or sour foods, especially if you plan to go out and enjoy the sun for the day, to keep your skin from breaking out or getting inflamed.

4.Milk is a cooling, Pitta-pacifying beverage that also supplies nutrients to your skin and helps to keep it from drying out. Drink a cup of milk every day, and also combine milk with ingredients like almond meal and rose water to make a Pitta-balancing skin cleanser.

5.Get plenty of quality rest each night. Keep your bedroom cool, dark and comfortable and sleep on cotton or linen sheets. Get to bed early and awaken early for clear healthy skin and sparkling eyes.

6.Pitta dosha governs the heart and emotions. When you feel stressed, angry or frustrated, your skin will show it over time as furrows and small lines and breakouts. Practice calming yoga poses or meditation to stay serene and help your body and mind manage stress. Diffuse Pitta-balancing essential oils, such as rose, sandalwood and lavender to keep mind and heart balanced. Walk on the beach or through a cool shady garden.

7.The sun can increase sebum production, causing your skin to look oily on occasion. When the oil combines with dirt and sweat, pores get clogged. Be meticulous about your cleansing routine, morning and night. Use a non-soap based gentle cleanser that will deep cleanse without drying out the skin. A good cleansing mix for dry/normal skin can be made with almond meal, oatmeal, milk and rosewater. For oily skin, try chickpea flour (found in Indian grocery stores) or oatmeal with yogurt and a little lemon and neem powder. If you use a toner, look for one without alcohol.

8.Keep your skin nourished with an herbal moisturizer. Look for ayurvedic formulations that contain skin-friendly herbs such as sandalwood, turmeric, brahmi, amla and aloe Vera. At least once a week, treat yourself to a fruit or vegetable mask appropriate for your skin type. Cucumbers, avocados, apricots and papayas lend themselves well to homemade masks. Puree the fruit or vegetable and blend with some yogurt, honey, oatmeal and lemon juice (for oily skin) or rosewater (for dry skin) and apply evenly to the face. Let stay for 15-20 minutes and then rinse off with lukewarm water.

9.Do not go out during the hottest parts of the day, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If you exercise outdoors, do it early in the morning. Wear sunscreen, lip protection, sunglasses and a broad-brimmed hat when you go out-exposure to the sun can age skin very rapidly. A thin mixture of red sandalwood powder and rosewater applied to your skin 2-3 times a week can help it become more resilient. Take an aromatherapy floral water or hydrosol along for the day to stay refreshed.

10.Eyes and feet could do with extra TLC. Each evening, splash lots of cool water on your eyes. When you can, soak some cotton pads in cool water or rose water and place them over closed eyes for 10 minutes. Keep your feet clean and cool. Wear sandals when you can to let feet breathe and stay odor-free.
