TO
AVOID SUN TAN
| Get a sun block
that suits your skin type (Normal, Oily or Dry). |
| A sun tan lotion is better than a cream for oily
skin. |
| Herbal concoctions are better
for sensitive skins as they have fewer side
effects. |
Use a sunscreen that has a moisturiser and apply
on the neck,
behind your ears, arms and exposed neck. |
| Apply sunscreen atleast 45 minutes
before you go out in the sun. |
| Spray perfume on your clothes and not on your
skin. |
| Try added protection like a
hat, longer sleeves etc. |
| Lots of carrots - they have Beta-Carotene, which
is a skin protector. |
| Avoid Spinach, if you have a
sun allergy. |
| Drink atleast 8-10 glasses of water everyday. |
Take in as much of Vitamin E
as possible. Wheat germ and
custard apple are good sources of Vitamin E. |
| Milk has lactic acid which when applied, acts
as a mild peeling agent. |
| Potato juice has a soothing
effect and lightens a tan. |
MAKE
UP TIPS
| Samantha Kochhar,
one of the country's leading Make-up artists, gives
us some very useful make-up tips. |
| First and foremost, throw away the items in your
make-up kit that are more than two years old. |
| When applying lipstick, fill
in your lips with a lip liner first. By this way
the second coat of lipstick stays longer. |
| For people with dark coloured lips, apply some
foundation and lip balm first, then a lighter shade
of lip colour, say a pink. Then apply lip gloss
and over it the original lipstick you have chosen. |
| If you see any liquid or water
coming out of the lipstick, keep it in a refrigerator. |
| If you mix foundation and sunscreen in equal quantities
and apply, it makes for an excellent day make-up
that also protects the skin. |
| If the foundation starts to
curdle, do not use it anymore. |
| When you are buying a concealer, buy something
that is one shade lighter than your skin tone. |
| Before applying make-up, follow
the CTW procedure (Cleaning, Toning and Moisturising).
Follow the same for removing make-up. |
| Any make-up is good only for 6-7 hours. |
| For beautiful and mysterious
eyes, use 3-4 shades of eye shadow on your eyes.
Apply a darker shade towards the edges of eye-lashes. |
For dusky complexioned people, use burgundy and
maroon range
of lipsticks. |
| Avoid using very old lipsticks.
They might cause pigmentation of the lips |
