Home Remedies for Summer Skin
2007-09-25 21:21:00 Well, summer is officially over. But are you still suffering from the effects of overexposed skin? Here?s a little something I?d like to share to round off our series on skincare in the summer. The beauty recipes below are simply fabulous. They work with your skin to restore its natural colour, soothe it, and naturally balance its moisture levels. I learnt these from my grandmother who also happens to be the best example of the fact that these simple recipes can work wonders. Just remember to avoid any cut, torn, or open skin areas when using them.Milk Dab©Cold skim milkWashcloth In a large shallow bowl, pour out half cup of cold skim milk.

A User?s Guide to Facial Masks
2007-09-14 21:39:00 The other I had pulled out a juicy peach from the refrigerator. As I set about peeling it and mixing it with some to the best gifts nature has to offer, my friend (who is visiting) asked: You keep your skin clean, remove make-up before you got to bed, and you look great. Why do you need a skin masque? Aha, said I and then set about to explain the virtues of self-pampering and the face masque. Any beautician will tell you that a face masque is the key to a good beauty regime. While daily cleansing keeps the surface of your skin clean, only a masque will go beyond the surface and do deep cleansing. Besides removing impurities, masques exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, improve circulation, and make your skin cleaner and smoother!Here are a few tips on getting the most out of your face masque:1. Always wash your face and neck before you begin. 2. Always use your fingertips to apply the masque. Spread a thin coating, avoiding eyes and lips.3. Leave on masque until it dries or as p...

2007-08-20 08:38:00 Beauty still walketh on the earth and air, Our present sunsets are as rich in gold As ere the Iliad?s music was out-roll?d; The roses of the Spring are ever fair, ?Mong branches green still ring-doves coo and pair, And the deep sea still foams its music old. So, if we are at all divinely soul?d, This beauty will unloose our bonds of care. ?T is pleasant, when blue skies are o?er us bending Within old starry-gated Poesy, To meet a soul set to no worldly tune, Like thine, sweet Friend! Oh, dearer this to me Than are the dewy trees, the sun, the moon, Or noble music with a golden ending. ~ Alexander Smith ~ More About: Beauty

Fruity Summer Face Masques
2007-07-17 21:08:00 There is nothing quite like the feel of creamy soft skin after treating oneself to a beauty masque. Indulgent, creamy, soothing, and above all refreshing are some ways to describe it. Pampering aside, a beauty mask cleanses and clarifies the skin. I have always made beauty masques for the face and skin at home. Here are three that I love using in the summer.Cooling Papaya Masque©4 tbsp ripe papaya pulp, mashed½ tsp pure honeyA squeeze of lemon juiceMix all ingredients together. Apply on face. Leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse off with cold tap water. Did you know: Papaya is a tropical fruit. It contains an enzyme called papain which loosens dead skin cells, surface oil, and dirt. It also smoothens the skin and is great for a healthy tone and complexion. Papaya is also naturally full of Vitamin E and Vitamin C both of which are ingredients in many commercial skin products.

Sunscreens and Sunblocks: What you should know....
2007-06-28 00:55:00 Our skin is structured to protect us. And while melanin in the epidermis protects the skin by absorbing and reflecting UV radiation, it cannot prevent the extent of damage the sun can do to the skin. That is why we need to use a sunscreens or a sunblock. If you're going to be outdoors for longer than a trip to the supermarket, invest in and use a high quality sunblock or sunscreen. The basic difference between sunscreens and sunblock is that the former are chemical sunblocks, not physical ones. This means that sunscreens contain organic chemical absorbers that form a thin protective film on the surface of the skin that absorbs the harmful rays of the sun. Sunblocks on the other hand often contain inorganic or physical blockers. They include elements like zinc and titanium which act as a physical sunblock to scatter and deflect the sun?s rays.Sunscreens:- All sunscreens come with an SPF or Sun Protection Factor. This is a determinant of its effectiveness.- Each of us needs a differe... More About: Blocks , Cree

Skin Care in Summer
2007-06-21 01:54:00 Summertime,And the livin' is easyFish are jumpin'And the cotton is highOne of these morningsYou're going to rise up singingThen you'll spread your wingsAnd you'll take to the skyOh, the vision of Summer! Epitomised elegantly in the lyrics of the inimitable George Gershwin . While Summer brings with it the simple joys of living, it also demands that we protect and care for our skin.Summer tempts us to go out and ?get the sun?! Some amount of sunshine is good for us as it allows our bodies to process the Vitamin D which is essential for healthy bones. However, sunshine can be harsh and moisture-sapping while over-exposure to the damaging UV rays is known to trigger skin cancer, cataracts, sunburn, and of course wrinkles! Some tips to safely enjoying the summer and the sun:- When stepping out, wear a tightly woven wide-brimmed hat or carry an umbrella.- Wear clothing that is light, tightly woven, in fabric that breathes, and covers your body to avoid sunburn.- Remember that most T-...

She Walks in Beauty
2007-06-12 01:43:00 SHE walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that 's best of dark and brightMeet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellow'd to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impair'd the nameless graceWhich waves in every raven tress,Or softly lightens o'er her face;Where thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure, how dear their dwelling-place.And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,The smiles that win, the tints that glow,But tell of days in goodness spent,A mind at peace with all below,A heart whose love is innocent!~ Lord Byron (1788-1824) ~ More About: Beauty , Poetry , Walks
