Q Tip: Go "Oil" in!

Moisture boost for dry hair...and your self image!

Dry humor is funny; but dry hair isn't.
For a moisture boost and hair care pick-me-up, use Coconut oil or Almond oil for a hot oil treatment.

• Simply shampoo hair as usual..,
• then massage warmed oil in to your hair..,
• wrap your hair with a towel or turban and relax for 5-10min..,
• while the oil does its work, then wash and condition as usual.

You're "Oil" done!
Stay Cool and never dry up..Ciao Belles.. :)

Q Tip: Just one finger on ur Face..

Yup..Its ur 'Ring Finger"..
Mean to say, whenever U need to do some facial-care routine, one is not supposed to use their entire palm.
Be it massaging, cleansing or applying any makeup..or touching ur face..U just have to get used to 'Use just ur Ring finger' If u need more pressure, U can use ring finger of both the hands, but not any other finger..or whole.

Ive mentioned here, not to touch ur face other than when its ur TLC time. Now, telling that its good to use just ur Ring Finger whenever u have to touch ur face (I mean whenever u r following ur beauty-care routine)

Why?
Basically, Ring finger is the best finger, in giving out the optimum pressure (not much like index ginger nor less like small finger) on face. Facial skin is the most sensitive skin, thus it needs less pressure whenever it is supposed to get.

So, next time, try to use just ur ring finger..

Q Tip: Cranky Skin..??

Got Cranky skin..??

Get to the cause of what's irritating your skin.

To avoid irritating your skin or if your skin is already irritated, try using only one beauty product at a time to see which one may be the offender. When using multiple products, it is more likely you may experience an ingredient that triggers a reaction.

And in the end..Off with the beauty talk..I deeply regret for not being able to publish any posts since 2 days..Ive hanled it to the technical team for some maintenance.. and now that Im back..Il definitely make a point to be diligent. :)

Till then..Ciao Belles.. :)

Q-Tip: Wash b4 WorkOuts

When to wash face??Before OR After Working Out??

The Solution is simple..
Wash ur face before U start working out.

Explanation:
Okay..Let me give U what exactly happens during 'Work Out Sessions'.
When U start exercising, Ur body tends to shed away the toxins (or sometimes tries to cool down the body) through sweat. Whenever skin starts to excrete sweat, the pores gets enlarged, just to pump the sweat out.

If U exercise with Clean face , the Sweat excretes out and stays there, without any clogs. Sweat never irritates skin (does if it mixes up with environmental dirt), that after working out, its not damn necessary to wash off immediately.

But If u don't wash before, Ur make-up/dirt that's been accumulated till then, sinks down in to the skin further, when the pores gets enlarged, resulting the clogs.

This sort of question arises to several, whether its OKAY to go with make-up to the near-by gym? I'ld say "NO". Its just because, skin absorbs the make-up in, while secreting sweat.

Q-Tip: Want soft and scented feet?

For long lasting result, Sleep with ur socks on.. Next day, Uld wake up with beautiful soft, crack-free feet.

Q-Tip: Splitting Hairs?

Use Castor Oil to smooth out split ends

Ive already mentioned it in my earlier post i.e., in 'Night Care' mentioning it among those 20 things thats best to use before going to bed. Anyways,If uve missed it, Im here to mention it again and again.

Well, to continue on...
Split ends are a total drag. Apply Castor Oil to the ends of hair to help repair damage and give ends a smoother appearance. Under consequent usage for abt 3-4 weeks, Ur splits will be moistened and the Split ends reduces.

This process.. Castor Oil helps in giving out the proper strength to the tips, when the moisture from the hair-root cannot reach the tip. Gradually, due to the Castor Oil's deep penetrating and highly moisturizing capacity, those splits moisturizes and When there is enough moisture at the tip, therll be less damage.

So this night, make sure that u just rub in some Castor oil to those splits.
Ciao Belles..

Q-Tip: Low on Shaving Cream?

Have you ever been in the shower and run out of shaving cream?One leg shaved and one leg not?

Rather than spending ur day with uneven legs, use ur conditioner to do the job..Just as the conditioner moisturizes and protects your hair, it will also protect and moisturise ur legs..

Q Tips: Alum

Alum, also known as Phitkari in India, is a natural antiseptic that can calm irritated skin and stop bleeding on any cuts. To use, you simply get it wet and rub it over your skin, pausing for a few seconds on any cuts. Given that it is an astringent, it will sting a bit.
Alum can also be used as a natural deodorant often referred to as "crystal deodorant.
Its popularly used as a natural deodrant. It has no side effects like other deodrants.

Q-Tips: While u r in Shower

While U r in shower, try to wash ur face in the end of ur shower-session.

As far as possible, u have to go without splashing water on the face, from the start. Start with splashing water all over ur body, follow with soap, rinse off, and when u are all done by then, then splash water on face and follow the face-cleansing process.

Advantages:

• By taking shower in that way, it ensures that there is not much moisture loss from face.
• In other terms, ul be steaming up ur face since the start, while u r washing the rest of ur body and at the end, ul be cleaning the opened up pores on face, which reduces the need for heavy exfoliation.
• This is a good thing to follow for dry skinned people.

So, Belles, next time when u r taking ur shower, wash ur face in the end when u r abt to step out of it.

Ciao Belle.. :)

Q-Tip: Diet,Olive oil

Olive Oil is well known in terms of SkinCare ingredient. But u might never know that when taken internally, its a best food to lose those extra pounds.

Consume 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil early in the morning, in to the empty stomach. This helps to cleanse the body off the toxins and boost the metabolism rate and thereby shedding off those extra fat.

Apart from that..it even moisturizes your skin, giving the body the necessary E vitamin that it needs.


So next time, instead of putting it on the skin, try to consume it internally as well and see the difference within a week. Stay happy and healthy and look beautiful.. :)

Q-Tip: Never Touch

Thats right..I said 'Never Touch'
Well..oh well...I dont mean to touch anything..But dont let anything touch ur Facial Skin. Thats what I mean.

Facial Skin is known to be the most sensitive skin than the rest of the skin, cos its got lots and lots of Sebacious glands. Hair-scalp comes first and then the facial skin in this row.


So, whenever u tend to touch the facial skin, comeon, no matter how hygiene u r..there would be atleast some or the other things over ur hand. Say for eg, hand lotion ?? So whenever u touch ur face..there are chances that ur hand would transfer then in to those millions n millions of sebacious glands, there by blocking them and causing skin out breakes.

So next time, whenever u touch ur face, make a note that u only do that while washing ur face or applying skin care things or makeup.

Thats all for now..Ciao Belles.. :)
