• the sallowness of ur skin r the result of restricted blood vessels caused by nikotin wic lead 2 oxygen.

TIP OF THE DAY !!!

Rather than trying to define eyes by drawing a line across the eyelids, the proffesionals recommend using a pencil to fill in the spaces between each lash. Get your pencil as close to your lashes as possible and make a teeny dot between each one. Smudge with your finger or with a cotton swab.

Beauty Secrets From Around The World

Wouldn’t it be great to have amazing Brazilian legs, long thick, luscious Indian hair and a Scandinavian complexion? Well, it’s not all genetics! Every country and culture has an age-old secret to keeping their woman beautiful.

Brazil
Brazilian women are known to be some of the most beautiful women in the world not to mention their incredible bodies! It’s common to see Brazilian women while reclining on the beach rubbing handfuls of sand on their bodies….why? It helps with cellulite! And it smoothes and stimulates the skin. In fact, Lush, a company out of England that makes fresh, handmade cosmetics just came out with a a few body bars that contain sand and hydration to help smooth the skin, break up cellulite, and boost sluggish circulation.

Japan
The secret of the Japanese Geisha and there smooth, flawless skin is camellia oil. White camellia nut oil, used for centuries in Asia, contributes its moisturizing, conditioning, nourishing and softening benefits to the skin. Camellia Oil gives the skin a texture and glow unmatched by any other skin care product. A special formulation for helping to eliminate wrinkles after giving birth, revitalizing hair growth, and in treating burns. It helps to restructure the skin and strengthen nails. It is one of the most rapidly absorbed oils making it an excellent choice as facial oil.

China
We all know the benefits of green tea but in China it’s all about the white tea. The anti-aging secret! White Tea comes from the silver tip of the green tea plant. It’s also known as the emperor’s tea. The plant houses all the antioxidants in the tip. It acts as an environmental shield that the free radicals can’t penetrate through. They bounce off free radicals and fend off anti-aging.

Spain
It’s all about the cocktail here! The Cranberry Cocktail!!! Women in Spain are known for their magnificent coloring and hair. They use cranberry juice as their final rinse on their hair to give them those fabulous natural highlights! They take 1/4 cup cranberry juice mixed with a 1/4 cup of water and use as a final rinse. Now ladies, if you’re blonde make sure you use lemon juice instead of cranberry or your hair might change color!

India
India is known for some of the most beautiful women in the world. It’s all about beauty there. Coconut oil is the trick to getting full, thick, shiny hair. It’s also great to help strengthen hair if your hair is thinning. The women in India do a hot oil scalp massage once a week. Heat some up in a bowl and give yourself a scalp massage once a week. Sleep with it on and wash in the morning! It will help seal the cuticle and rid those split ends not to mention making your hair thick and healthy.

Vietnam, Thailand, India, Middle East
We know about shaving, and waxing but for the women in Asia and the Middle East, threading is their choice of hair removal. It’s a painless way to remove hair and will last longer than waxing. Also, it doesn’t pull on the skin or cause trauma to the skin or follicles. Very precise. Gives the most amazing looking eyebrows.

Scandinavia
Scandinavian women know that beautiful skin is easy to achieve. You simply drink at least 1.5 liters of pure spring water every day and splash your face 15-20 times twice a day with ice cold spring mineral water, which will encourage the skin's own natural functions, so it regulates itself without the aid of expensive exfoliating and rejuvenating lotions." The ice cold water helps to reduce puffiness as well!

Australia
Australian women know that tea tree oil is the choice for all sorts of beauty benefits. The oil gives skin a youthful glow and helps oxygenate skin cells and repairs damaged skin caused by sun, acne, dry skin, fungus and other skin disorders. Many people with sensitive skin have said soap with Tea Tree Oil is effective yet mild and non-irritating. As a shampoo, dandruff can be controlled.

We spend a good amount of money on beauty products for skin care. How many of us know that there are simple homemade ideas that will cheer up our skin. Here are some of the homemade tips. What's important is trying these tips daily. You can't expect miracles just by trying it out once, but definitely you will see wonders on your skin if you follow at least some of them daily.

• Cornmeal is a wonderful exfoliate. You need to use it once a week all over your face and neck.
  
  
• After washing your face with soap, take some drop of vinegar and mix it water. Now wipe you face with this water. This will help in getting rid of the soap alkalis.
  
  
• Avoid lathering your soap too much.
  
  
• In order to make your skin firmer, rub beaten egg white over your face. Wait until it dries. Then rinse with lukewarm water. This makes the skin firmer.
  
  
• Don't over scrub your face (or anywhere) - over scrubbing can cause your skin to break out.
  
  
• Use natural deodorants, like witch hazel or baking soda. They work just as well, and they're a lot more frugal and could even be better for your skin.
  
  
• Witch hazel also makes a great aftershave, for guys and gals, too. If you men just have to smell, use a few drops of essential oil in a pint of witch hazel.
  
  
• If you have chapped lips then use petroleum jelly, mineral oil, vegetable oil on your lips just before you sleep.
  
  
• Drinking lots of water makes a great difference to your skin. It's the best beauty treatment available on mother earth.
  
  
• Wet your hands in warm water, and then rub oil or fat of any kind into them. Keep rubbing until most of it has been absorbed. Wipe off excess with a clean cloth. This works great as an overnight treatment, also.
