It will be your own laboratory, where you can establish a home spa. And will be the practical place to follow the proper women beauty guide. This area will be the one place you will use to store your own ideas and creations.

Many women encounter rashes, bumps and razor burn in the bikini area and thus stop shaving their intimate beauty. 

1.    Once you are in the shower, apply an anti-acne soap to your groin area

It is important the soap contain Salicylic acid. Lather liberally with this soap and allow it to remain on your private area for at least two minutes. The salicylic acid helps dissolve the acid mantle and gently break down the plugs in your pores affecting your intimate beauty. After the soap has been on your skin for at least two minutes, rub with a loofah. The coarseness of the loofah will help to shed some of the dead skin cells and make it less likely nearby pores become inflamed.

2.    When you finish your shower, pat the area dry

No rubbing. But make sure you are completely dry, following this women beauty guide.

3.    Consider using an astringent

If the area is currently inflamed or has a lot of bumps, use a salicylic acid containing astringent for sensitive skin to take full advantage of this women beauty guide article. Apply lightly to the area with a cotton balls using downward strokes.

4.    After the skin has dried apply an oil-free facial moisturizer

Again, make sure it stays external. The longer you can wait to put on panties the better. If you bathe at night try sleeping without underwear, or wear soft yoga pants to keep your intimate beauty.

After following this regimen for two or three days you are ready to shave. (If you are changing your grooming habits and this is the first time you have shaved some parts, it may be easier if you first use some small grooming scissors to cut the hair first.) 

5.    Make sure your razor is sharp and take your time

Note to all women in a hurry – you are not grating parmesan cheese here, please slow down and pay attention.  It is often helpful to pull the skin so it is tight with you other hand to achieve a closer shave to restore your intimate beauty. As you finish shaving, make sure to feel the entire area with your hand to check for any spots you may have missed. You may be shy about doing this, but it is your body.  It is your only body and there is no shame or guilt in feeling your own body or grooming yourself in a way you like.

6.    Underarms need attention too

Hair also grows in different directions in the underarm area. Teach yourself to shave up and down and sideways. Always prep this area thoroughly.

Home Remedies To Repair Damaged Hair & Hair Loss

Posted on Sep 24th, 2012 | Comments (0)
Beauty Tips

According to experts, natural hair-loss and damage repair remedies can yield quick and long-lasting benefits for your hair. If you have damaged frizzy hair due to excessive use of blow-dryers, poor resistance to weather or you are stressed due to hair-loss, try few of our tried and tested home remedies to boost the natural shine, repair and re-growth of your hair.

1.    Fight off hair loss with apple cider vinegar & oil

• What apple cider vinegar (ACV) does is simple. It helps remove the dead cells from your hair that clog the hair follicles while maintaining scalp pH. All you need to do is to mix 1 cup of ACV with 1.5 cup of water and massage your hair for 5 minutes with it. Rinse your hair with lukewarm water. You will see the shine and healthy look in your hair within no time.

• Mustard seed oil contains anti-oxidants, proteins and calcium which boost hair-growth. If you have hair-fall issues, you should massage your hair with this oil every few days. Alternatively, you can boil mustard seed oil wit henna leaves to make the effect stronger.

• Mix 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder (daal cheeni) and honey with hot olive oil and massage your hair gently. This ayurvedic remedy works like magic for falling hair.

2.    Keep your diet in check

One of the reasons for scaly, frizzy hair is lack of proper vitamin intake. Vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy hair and are usually the first reason of hair-loss.

• Vitamin A hydrates your hair by keeping sebum production in control

• Vitamin B is essential for hair-growth

• Vitamin E repairs the damaged hair follicles

• Minerals such as calcium, zinc, silica, iron and iodine promote healthy hair growth

Make sure you make up for the loss of all these vitamins and minerals by taking proper diet. Take vitamin supplements and eat food that is low in carbs and high in protein content i.e. fish, sea food, egg, yoghurt etc.

3.    Give yourself a scalp massage

When your scalp does not get enough blood, it starts to wither. Being at the top of your body, the brain sometimes does not get enough blood circulation which is damaging for your hair-follicles.

• Lay back on a couch with your head slightly lower than the rest of your body or hanging sideways to allow reverse circulation. Do this every day for 5 – 10 minutes.

• Massage your scalp gently with your fingers in circular motion for at least 5 minutes in a day. This way, you will stimulate blood circulation to repair damaged hair follicles and encourage new growth.

Beauty Tips

‘Handmade balian’ might sound impossible when heard for the first time if you have never tried jewelry making at home yet. But It is a wonderful experience to create your own signature style and save money at the same time.

If you think they might look imperfect when crafted at home, I must say you are absolutely wrong!!! because making the most stylish handmade balian are not more than a child’s play. Even if you are a false beginner you must give it a try and you would be prompted to make many pairs of trendy homemade balian yourself in future to match every new outfit of yours.

 

How To Embellish Handmade Balian

For embellishing your stylish handmade balian, you can go for some pearls, beads, stones, ceramic handmade flowers or real flowers. The decision of colour, and embellishing material is all yours. You can choose according to your requirement.

If you want a formal pair of handmade balian, you must use gemstones, pearls or beads. In order to craft stylish handmade balian for casual day to day use, you can craft ceramic flowers of various colours yourself and then make your handmade balian out of them. If you are planning to attend some henna party, you can even make handmade balian out of real Motia and rose flowers. they look the most trendy on such ceremonies.

How To Make Handmade Balian

Making handmade balian is a simple procedure, involving just a few steps and a little equipment. What you need for sure when trying to make trendy homemade balian are a quality wire used for jewelry making.

You must choose the wire of real silver or other metals recommended for jewelry making. If you would use an ordinary copper wire - thinking it is inexpensive - you might catch any kind of skin allergy when you would wear your handmade balian.

The next thing you need is a round shaped bottle cap or a jar lid around which you would form the curve of your balian. When you wind the wire around this lid, it takes the required shape of your handmade balian. The size of this ring is again your choice. If you feel like trying bold and stylish handmade balian, make as big a ring as you can, for instance around a glass.

To cut and twist the wire, you need flush cutters, nylon jaw pliers and round-nosed pliers. To flatten up the wire, you need a chasing hammer. If you are new to these tools, you can even use a pen or dowel instead of round-nosed pliers, and to grasp the wire you can use the ordinary pliers which would definitely be there in your car tool kit.

When your wire takes the shape of your desired handmade balian, you need to string your beads and pearls, or crystals onto this wire until a nice pattern is complete. You can try two beads, a spacer, then a crystal and repeat until full. When you successfully complete the embellishment procedure, you need to bend it on the ends so that they can be locked when worn.

This is how your stylish handmade balian are ready to touch your ears and impart a chic, eastern glamour to your looks!

How Spas Help You Refresh Your Mind And Body

Beauty Tips

Us Pakistanis, we are one busy nation. Even when we are not doing anything, we are doing something. The obligations of life are unending making us feel and appear stressed out. Being a professional person myself, I come across hordes of people who look hassled and anxious all the time. It is almost as though they are deprived of sleep and relaxation – two musts for mental and body health.

I understand totally that with busy routine, we all find less and less time to focus on ourselves, but the question is, can we manage to take care of other things when we are not taking care of ourselves? If you are unhealthy with a disturbed mind and wandered thoughts, you definitely should think of taking a break to get yourself together. I suggest going to a nearby spa and get some relaxation treatment to unwind. The benefits of spas are great. Let us discuss a few.

Relaxation

Stress kills and it is a fact! Our busy life style is the reason for 90% of the stress types. Stress, whether it is related to work, money or family, is taking a heavy toll on us. In such a situation, no other place can be better than a spa to attain relaxation. Spa is one place that makes the problems of the world go away temporarily. While you are in a spa, you must get a good body massage, facial and participate in other relaxing and soothing activities that most of the spas offer.

Health Preservation

Western medicines treat diseases but they are not designed to prevent them. Your health is your responsibility and spas are a perfect place for health maintenance and prevention of diseases. Add a visit to the spa in your routine and get massage and steam therapies or relax in general.

Home based Treatment

You can learn the techniques done at spa and replicate them at home. Many spa professionals are friendly and share their basic treatment techniques with their clients. You have an opportunity to learn a few techniques and repeat them at home at leisure. Although you won’t see the same effect and impact, it will not do any damage either. With the few basic techniques learned from a professional, you can always relax and let go of the stress at home.

Companionship

Motivation works wonders to keep one geared. For this purpose, no other place is better than a spa for finding the right motivation from the right people. Once in a spa, you will find yourself among a group of health-conscious people. Not only you can spend quality time with them, you can learn plenty of health related tips and advices from them. This way you will give yourself the much needed break by forming mutually beneficial relationships and healthy activities. If you have not yet tried it, give it a shot, I say.

New Alternative to a Conventional Eye Makeup

Beauty Tips

Beauty may be in the eyes of the beholder, but one cannot deny the fact that beautiful eyes do make a statement; they are always expressive.  Most urban women use some type of beauty enhancement products including eyeliners to look attractive.  This item is one of the components of the makeup magic box; however, it is sometime inconvenient and costly to use it on a regular basis.  The answer to this dilemma is “permanent eyeliner.” In the long run, it is less expensive and more affordable compared to the conventional eyeliner.  Therefore, it deserves a closer look. You must be wondering, is it suitable for me? Well that depends on how comfortable you feel having a permanent makeup that becomes part of you and your personality.  Would you feel comfortable waking up to a makeup every day?  If you answered yes, then you are ready for the “permanent eyeliner.”

 

Permanent makeup is a modern technique for providing an alternative to traditional makeup products and “permanent eyeliner” is part of that bunch.   It is an innovative way to beautify yourself on a permanent basis.  It also solves the problem of having sensitive skin that requires special care or which is allergic to several different types of makeup products. 

 

If you like to make your eyes more attractive, “permanent eyeliner” may be the perfect product for you especially for active and busy women who don’t have time to apply the traditional makeup.  Its use enhances the shape of the eyes and accentuates their beauty as the face becomes more defined compared to the dull and less attractive look without the makeup or due to messy eyeliner.  However, bear in mind that improper use of “permanent eyeliner” may do more harm than good.  Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the facility and equipment’s used to apply the “permanent eyeliner” is handled with care under strict hygienic conditions including but not limited to good sanitary surroundings, sterile equipment, disposable needles, and high quality products instead of cheap imitations. Also, it is extremely important to get referrals before engaging in this process. Make sure to alwaysreview the service provider's portfolio and work history before making your final decision.

While permanency of this product has its advantages, it could also be its major disadvantage.   Therefore, before making your selection you must make sure that the style and color you select will complement and highlight the tone and color of your skin and will achieve the desired result, otherwise you will hate to look yourself in the mirror.   It is always a good idea to have the procedure done after a careful and thoughtful evaluation of all options.  You must make sure the “permanent eyeliner” looks natural, blends well with your facial features and skin tone, and enhances your beauty.  After all, you want to look your best at all times.

 

If you want to look attractive, project your natural beauty, have confidence and high self-esteem, save time and money, look sensational and attractive without worrying about applying your make up frequently during the course of the day especially if you are an active person, you may benefit from “permanent eyeliner.”
