#1 MY HAIR CARE

#1 MY HAIR CARE

In this session am going to cover my hair care tips with you from daily care to weekly and monthly care.

Daily care:

I bath daily as I sweat a lot and I feel irritated like my head is heating up. I oil my hair according to the season. Now it is winter so I use oil almost daily. If I am not in the mood of oiling I will apply almond oil in the scalp before going to bed and will do a small massage. I will braid my hair because that prevent breakage. I never go out with loose hair style as I have really messy and dry hair, even though I will do that in special occasions. When I am doing that I will take care to put on a mousse or hair cream before and after returning I will comb hair with a wide tooth comb. I rarely use brush and usually detangle my hair with my hands before using a comb. I try different braiding style to college as this gives style and protection to hair.

Weekly:

I shampoo weekly with conditioner. I use Pantene shampoo and conditioner. And use Yardley hair cream. I use mainly Bajaj almond drops to give a shine to hair. I oil my hair with warm coconut oil and will do a massage. I keep this for 30 minutes before going to bath. Immediately after bathing before completely drying my hair I use bajaj almond drops as a leave-in conditioner. I change my shampoo onve ina while and use jovees honey shampoo too.

Monthly:

I cut my hair ends once in two months in waxing crescent, I dont know the reason but that makes the hair grow longer.i use hair packs like aloe vera gel massage and fenugreek+curd mask with gives nourishment to scalp.

HEALTHY HAIR ROUTINE

The first and foremost thing that you should do is never let your hair be dry. Always apply any moisturizers or conditioners to hair.

Keep it hydrated, drink plenty of water.

This is a crazy tip but it really works for me. Shampooing and conditioning does not keep my hair from frizz, and am afraid to try anti frizz serum. As the number of chemicals applying in hair increases damage is more.

After shampooing and conditioning even when the hair is wet I apply hair. This is not for straight non frizz heads, this is for struggling curly hair with frizz. Okay if you have a curl hair, give me a high five.

Try to avoid brushing your hair, comb it is essential. That too with wide teethed comb.

Always tie up your hair before going to sleep. This will help to keep your hair long. And comb your hair, this is type of massaging effect on your head.

Apply oil before shampooing. And comb your hair. This will increase blood circulation and helps to remove dirt easily.

Try using shampoo and conditioner according to the type of your hair.

Wash your hair daily or within two days. According to the climate at your place. Sweat, dust or other foreign particles will make your hair flakes be dull.

Always try to avoid styling to your hair, keep your hair as it is. Just make it controllable with comb or brush.

Apply any hair mask once a week and do the hot oil treatment too. This will prevent hair falling.

AYUR HERBALS-Body Care Lotion( With cocoa butter) review

We have a small shop here, where we get all types of skin cosmetics. Went there to buy something new as my body lotion is completely finished. I was using POND'S body lotion. I was satisfied with it, but you know using same body lotion over and over , you will definitely get bored. So thinking of picking up something else, i saw this lotion. i was expecting something with cocoa butter, so bought it.

PRODUCT SAYS:

AYUR HERBALS-Body Care Lotion( With cocoa butter) daily skin care- pH balance-For that smooth skin.
Cocoa butter has been used for centuries by native women from all the world to soften and soothe dry skin. This extra rich moisturizer maintains the natural moisture balance. Its smooth creamy ingredients leave the skin looking and feeling velvety smooth to the touch and is great for normal to dry skin.

Directions for use: Use daily on your body for a soft and youthful appearance.
Price: Rs 50/- for 100 ml

Ingredients: Aqua,PArafinum,liquidum,glycerin,CCTG, Emulsifying wax,gms,cocoa butter,   aloe vera extract, cetyl alcohol,bees wax,tinovis ADM,Dimethicon, Vitamin E,EDTA,TEA,imidurea, Methyl paraben,Propyl paraben,color , fragnance.

MY PERCEPTION:

This bottle is a transparent one. We can see the white milk textured lotion in it. The quality of bottle is not satisfactory. It has a brown flip open cap. The body lotion is not so heavy or not so watery too.

ITs correct for a body lotion though. ITs not good for really dry areas like elbows or knees, but exceptionally ordinary. IT makes my skin velvety and not at all oily. ITs makes skin soft and smooth to touch. ( Must say irresistible to touch).

It last for more than 7 hours unless washed. One of the worst part of this body lotion is that, it has a awful smell at the 'absorption period'. That is, the smell is a bit strong yet good when we apply it. But after applying it for the next 5 minutes the smell becomes too strong. I must rather say its 'uff cant bear it' type of smell. But after 10 minutes or so, it will turn into a mild sweet smell. Anyways am not going to apply it on my face, as it contains so much ( those names are too scary) chemicals and paraben too.

BESTS:

• Give good results
• reasonably price
• Good for each penny spent
• Gives velvety skin
• No oily traces
• Cocoa butter
• Pleasant smell ( after sometime)

WORSTS

• Awful smell
• Paraben
• PAcking is not good.

Hope you liked it.........

Will meet your soon with another beauty solution

Check your NECK- Now care your neck tooo

When you are going out, may be for a party or just an outing with your family or friends,you give your pretty face the bestest makeup you can, right guys? But we usually forget some part just beneath our face,

NECK.

This ignorance may give us an embarrassing moment say someone out there asks" Why is your face color and neck color so different?haaaa......so much makeup....uffff". Damn it, we feel like vanishing from the right spot.

Some of you guys may put the foundation you usually apply to your face, but thats just not enough for that beautiful neck of yours.We should give the same care to our neck that we give to our face.

The main issue of neck darkening of skin.The main reasons for this are direct exposure to sunlight,side effects for some pills or supplements, hormonal changes, obesity, allergy to metals of neck jewelery etcetra.Some of these causes can only be treated by a dermatologist. Otherwise we can make it out :)

Some tips for skin whitening is:

• Applying lemon juice to neck
• Apply watermelon juice for half an hour and wash it, try this for a week or two.
• Mix carrot juice and cucumber juice equally and apply it.

A pack for your neck:
Take lemon juice, cucumber juice,sugar and milk. Mix this well. Apply it for 10 minutes and wash it with warm water.

Dry skin in neck is totally frustrating, and wrinkles too.....horrible. Massage with baby lotion, it will make skin smoother.massage from bottom to top and in circular motions.Apply a nourishing cream before going to bed, which will makes your neck look gorgeous.Using a moisturizer is also good.

When you are going out in sun, use a sun screen lotion to your neck too. That is to your neck, back of your neck.

A fat neck is too bad to look at. So for them who have this problemo.......do this simple exercise:

• Sit straight in a chair. Now slowly look at your legs by just moving your neck.Now look above you( say if you are sitting in a room look at the roof). Do this 10-12 times.
• Look to you left side and touch your chin on your shoulders, slowly look straight and above (say your roof).Now look to your right side and do the same.

Repeat these exercise for a slim neck.

Potato helps to reduce wrinkles and age spots, and helps to reduce acne marks. To reduce blemishes in your face...

Helps to reduce oil, and hence acne. acne spots or marks, blemishes can be reduced by applying lemon juice. Can be used for pedicure and manicure. Skin will become red after applying lemon juice directly and that natural effect caused due to citric acid.

ALMONDS AND ALMOND OIL:

Almonds provide small amounts of protein, iron, calcium, phosphorus, and B vitamins and are high in fat. They are awesome for skin care when taken inside or applied out. hence they are used in making cosmetic products. Almond oil which is extracted from almonds are good for hair and skin.

When i started  using almond oil for my hair, my hair fall reduced. i massaged scalp with 'Bajaj almond drops' every night before going to bed.

This made my scalp feel better. Then one day, after scrubbing, i  massaged my face with this. I have really dry skin type, yet this made my skin supple and glow. Almond oil have high absorbing power. I put two drops of almond oil on my eye pencil and lipstick, making it smoother and spread evenly. Almond oil will make lips reddish.

Take care ....STAY GORGEOUS

love, mia <3

STEPS TO STAY GORGEOUS......

Oh! damn. Another breakout.

Am fed up of this breakout which is caused by a monthly visitor( you know who). Anyways as a 'beauty secret-agent' myself will kill those pimply enemies myself.
some of the routine that we should daily follow ot kill those foes of magnificent face of yours.

aahhhem.......lets look those tricky tips :

RISING SUN: get up early so that you can give gorgeous face the care it want, and plan your day.
clean your face the moment you got up. The bacterias in the bed pillows and blankets, will make your skin dull and cause acne. Change pillow covers and blankets within 3 days.

BRUSH AND SHOWER: Brush your teeth when you get up and before going out(that may be optional),but a clean mouth will give such a damn confidence.

Take a shower,to make your self fresh. If you have a dry skin then apply moisurizer to your face and body. Try tantalising deos or perfumes and MAke others happy smelling you.Make up your face, to look pretty, in a way it is.If you are going for work, keep it simple.

KEEP TOUCH-UPS handy: Keep with you a small pouch which contains touch up makeup things like

• a lip gloss or lip stick
• a lip balm
• wipes
• a small bottle of deo
• hand sanitizer
• a concealer
• a comb
• some tissues
• minty gum or toffee, and of course a mirror. etc:-

which will help you to keep you fresh through out the day where you study or work. Take a toner, to make your face fresh at intervals. Rose water is the cheapest toner, that will make you fresh. If you want to make yourself a toner try this.

1. Take a half piece of lemon
2. Squeeze the juice to a bowl
3. Mix water
4. keep this mixture in a bottle and apply with a a cotton ball dipping.

HAIRSTYLES: Keep your hair in its on hsape curly or straight. Never go for straighteners, hot irons or curlers. Apply conditioners in shower or leave in conditioners before going out, which will keep your hair safe from pollution and dust.Make your hair according to shape of your face.Same hairstyle daily will make you boring.Try each hairstyle everyday, which will make you trendy.

SELECTING COSMETICS: select the cosmetics for you according to the skin types and also the climate at your home. say like if your skin is dry which is like mine, go for a oily moisturizer, cream blush,etcetra.It should match your skin or else will result in a break out.Cosmetics should be kept hygienic.Brushes used for cosmetics should be cleaned weekly, and should be replaced yearly.

WATER: Drink water between every 4 hours, as water will take the toxins in your skin and keep your face nice and shine. Water constitutes main component of cells in our body. so to keep it rehydrated is as much important as to be healthy.

EXERCISE: HEAT up yourself daily, say just a brisk walk inside your home,

dancing with those small steps of yours with the back music of your favorite song.

This will improve your metabolism, i bet this will make you energetic all day long. 

As someone said "a better beginning is half done"
(am not sure about what they said)

ATTITUDE: It is attitude which matters.Be cool and smart. Think positive, when a problem arises think yourself " there is nothing in this world which cannot be solve", positive attitude will makes your face shine with positive aura. Giving others too a positive energy.

TAKE PILLS: Take vitamins tablets to improve your skin tone. take multi vitamin tablets,or vitamin e,a tablets for your skin and hair health. Am taking Hemsi pills, which increase my blood count along with supplying zinc and vitamins to my body. Its good to take pills to improve blood count, as the anemic possibilities for women is much higher than men. But it will be better to consult a doctor before taking pills yourself.

CLEANSE: Pollution everywhere will not only kill green, but our skin too. so cleanse after you return home. remove make up with make up removers.i use 'camomile make up remover'.

scrub your face twice a week. Apply facial mask to improve your skin health and make it look absolutely attractive. Face masks can be made at home with fruities and vegies at home.

Before going to bed remove all make ups and your face should be clean. Remember to fight acne, your skin should be able to breathe and should be hydrated.

Now put that pretty smile of yours on face and GO for your day.

Make up your face in 10 minutes effectively

holla girls!!!!

Make up is now an important aspect for both men and women, and women needs a little more. I( love to go to my college wearing make up, even though just lightly, that makes me think confident about my looks.

But many lack time for this because of their busy routine.lets see how you can make up your face easily.

• wash your face with a face wash, and make it clean
• put a moisturizer which suits your skin
• put a compact or powder if needed.
• use a eyebrow pencil to define your eyebrows, never stress, just shade with it.
• Go for an eyeliner for define your upper eyelid and an eye definer for lower, i opt for Himalaya eye definer.

(try this cut eye lashes carefully, just tip. it will make your eyes look brighter, curl eyelashes)

• put lip stick or lip gloss, i prefer lip gloss, as it will make your lips sweet looking =), use a lip balm before putting so that your lips will stay protected.
• select ear rings carefully ,as they are the accessory that stay near to your face. earrings with pearl or stones will make your face look brighter.
• perfumes: use a light smelling perfumes like dove for the day( for night go for erotic, musk fragrances......)
• Try different hairstyles every day, and use a hairspray, if you are keeping your hair loose.

and of course tell me, if its good, waiting for your replies..... "stay gorgeous"
