Caring for the rest of the body

2010-08-25 5:09 pm

The face is not the only body part you should take care of. Your hair, lips, hands and feet, and the rest of the body are just as important.

For hair care, you need a good shampoo and a good conditioner. The scalp and hair must be washed with a shampoo regularly to keep them absolutely clean and to avoid future hair problems. Conditioners can be applied to hair, kept on for a minute or two and then washed away, or they can be special leave-in conditioners which do not need to be washed off. Blow driers should be used wit discretion as they tend to dry the hair and scalp.

Dry, chapped lips can spoil the beauty of your face. It is necessary to use a nourishing lip balm at least once a day, or as often as required. Lipsticks and lip glosses must also be chosen carefully, since harmful lip colors can affect the natural color of your lips.

After a bath, a full-body nourishing lotion can be used to restore the skin’s moisture. A few drops of jojoba, olive or almond oil mixed with bath water also serve the same purpose. Exfoliation of the body can be done regularly with exfoliating bars or even a simple loofah.

For the hands and feet, a light nourishing lotion during daytime and a heavy nourishing cream at night help to keep the skin as well as the nails healthy. Trimming and keeping your nails clean also make the hands and feet look good.

Shopping for skin care products

Wanting to look good is a common desire. While your diet and exercise certainly influence your appearance, cosmetic skin/hair care products also go a long way in making you look the way you do.
For skin care, the cosmetic products that should always be there on your dressing table include:

A cleanser- It is necessary to remove the make-up you have worn, as well as the dirt, grime, and pollutants that accumulate on the skin in the course of the day. Cleansers should ideally be mild enough so that they don’t harm your skin or leave it feeling dry. Special cleansers meant for dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin are available in the market.

A toner- A toner restores the natural pH balance of the skin and also removes any traces of the cleanser, dirt or make-up that might have been left behind.

A moisturizer- This restores moisture to the skin. During daytime, people should ideally use a light moisturizer with sun block, while at night, a heavy nourishing cream is necessary.

A scrub- Most people ignore the need to exfoliate skin, but without exfoliation, dead skin cells accumulate and make the skin look dull. Exfoliating scrubs need to be used at least once a week; if the scrub is mild enough, you can also use it daily. Exfoliating bars are also available in the market.

In today’s world, the Page 3 people are not the only ones who wear make-up. At the workplace or at the evening party- you need to look good wherever you are. Play it down during the day, play it up at night… Here’s a checklist of what you need to look your best.

For the Face- A foundation is the base. Use a waterproof one to make sure it stays on even if it rains. A compact face powder helps to tone down your look. Both of these need to be of a shade as close to your natural complexion as possible. The blush-on that goes on your cheekbones helps to highlight them.

For the Lips and the Nails- Lip pencils, lip glosses and lipsticks- put them on and see your pout take on a whole new meaning. And with that, choose a nail enamel to complement your look.

For the Eyes- The mascara (for highlighting eyelashes), the eye pencils and the eyeliner (for tracing the outline of the eye) and the eye shadow (for the upper eyelid and the brow bone)- in earthy shades and metallic shimmers, so your eyes can do all the talking.

For the Hair- Change your hair color with a good ammonia-free crčme color; get a hair spray to add volume to your hair, or to fix your hair-do so it will last the whole evening; blow-dry your hair straight, or use irons to get it all wavy… With all these and more, the market will spoil you for choices.

Time To Shop For Skin Care Products

All those make-up items which adorn your dressing table are your ticket to looking good. But did you know that they might actually be harming you?

Every cosmetic product that you buy has what is called a “shelf life”. After a certain time, they expire, and are no longer suitable for use. But most of us tend to ignore the dates and keep on using those old products, which puts us in danger. Experts say that using a product beyond its shelf life means risking skin allergies, irritation, acne, and rashes. Sharing make-up, exposing them to sunlight, or adding water to liquid products to make them last longer can cause infections from microbes. Sometimes, the side-effects of using old make-up can be irreversible.

So how do you know when it’s time to throw away that make-up product? Ideally, the product container will mention the date of packaging, and the relative date of expiry. Liquid foundations, compact face powders, blush-ons, nail enamels, lipsticks, and lip glosses have an average shelf life of 24-36 months (2-3 years) from the date of packaging. Eye make-up items like mascaras and liners last only about one year, but eye pencils and eye shadows can last longer, up to 2 years.

However, products can expire much sooner than. Powdery make-up can flake or crack, while liquid make-up can dry up. Nail enamels and lip glosses can change in their consistency, while lipsticks can have beads of oil showing up on the sides. All of these are signs that say that the product needs replacing.
