Get Skin-healthy

1. Apply good sun protection to shield your skin from damaging UV rays.

2. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep every day so your skin (and body) has time to repair itself.

3. What you eat show on your face and body, so stick to a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

4. A good workout brings oxygen to the whole body, and this will give you a healthy, unique glow.

Give Your Breasts Some TLC

Touch your breasts. Feel for anything unusual, such as lumps, thickening, or changes in skin texture in the breast or armpit.

Look for changes, such as one breast becoming larger than the other, pucking or dimpling of the skin, changes in the appearance or direction of the nipple, discharge, or a rash forming on or around the nipple. Anything that appears unusual visually should not be taken lightly.

Check out anything unusual with your doctor immediately. If a doctor thinks a lump is related to hormonal changes related to your menstrual cycle, he may advise you to wait through one cycle. But if the lump persists or is worrying you, there is no harm in getting a re-examination or an additional test.

Snow White Skin

When an excess of melanin is produced, skin becomes dark and dull. Dead skin cells filled with melanin accumulate on the surface of the skin and result in pigmentation. This is where every woman's nightmare seeps in when their skin becomes uneven also does not help the situation. Overexposure to sunlight, pollution, hormonal changes, genetic factors and stress are no wonder why our skin becomes lifeless, dry rough. However with a simple step of scrubbing and moisturising worry no more.

Scrub And Moist

Scrubbing and moisturising are two absolute must-dos when it comes to skin care.


Scrub

Scrub is made of sugar scrub that will not sting our skin and melts away as you exfoliate. Apply the scrub twice a week to your whole body. Concentrate on your knees, the soles of your feet and your heels. Then, rinse the residue off with clean water. Scrubbing your body regularly helps get rid of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin.

Moisturising

Pamper yourself with body lotion after showering. Let it seep through your pores and soften the skin, giving it a smooth finish. Try to get a body lotion that doesn't leave an oily or sticky trace after application. Apply twice a day or to prevent peeling and ageing and be sure to have skin that is constantly moisturised.

Lose weight, Stay healthy

If you're determined to lose weight the healthy way, there's no way around it: you have to burn more calories than you take in via reasonable calorie restriction and exercise. You don't have to cut out your favorite foods completely - it simply means you need to consume smaller portions of the foods you usually eat. Here are some ways to accomplish this;

- If you're consuming soft drinks and other drinks that are high in sugar daily, try replacing them with water, 'diet' varieties or unsweetened drinks, such as green tea.

- Sitting at your desk all day? You're probably not burning as many calories as you think. Try cutting down your lunch or eating a healthier option like Lean Roast Beef Sandwich or Chicken Salad. Can't live without rice? Try reducing your rice portion by a third, and load up on veggies, tofu and lean cuts of mean instead of fried dishes.

- Stock up treats that are rich in fiber, nutrients and complex carbohydrates such as granola bars, fruits and nuts, rather than tea-time favorites such as curry puffs, donuts and starchy desserts.

- Tend to indulge in the evenings? Try opting for a meal replacement drink to keep those calories (and cravings) in check.

Lipstick

Never use a test lipstick on your lips. It's just plain unhygienic. Instead, test lipstick on your fingertips. It's closer fit to yourr lips than the back of your hand.

Don't throw out a broken lipstick. If your lipstick breaks off, simply take off the broken portion with a tissue, then slowly wave it a lit match under the broken piece of lipstick. When it's melted a bit, put it back on the base, swivel it down and put it in the fridge, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Blusher

Just like foundation, never buy a busher just by looking at it. Test the blusher on your face if you are not applying any makeup or on the insides of your wrist are for a more accurate result. The right colour should look natural on you.

The trick to applying blusher is to make sure it looks natural on you. For small faces, start from the cheek apples and brush slowly up to the sides. Use a wide ''U'' shapes as a guide for that smiley look.

If you have a broad face, just spread the blusher nicely on the apples. Avoid spreading it up to the sides as it will make your face even wider.

The colour you choose should match your complexion. If you are fair, you may want to choose more of the beige or pinkish tones or the translucent colours. If you are dark, you need stronger blush colours such as bronze, auburn or apricot shades to bring out your features.

7 Ways Whitening Products Works

Here Is How The Whitening Products Can Help You Achieve A Whitening Effect.

1. Suppress Production Of Melanin

The amount of melanin produced determines how fair of dark your pigmentation is. Whitening products such as creams and serums effectively suppress the overproduction of melanin pigments by targeting the enzyme in skin pigment cells that makes melanin.

2. Tighten Pores And Retexturise Skin

Rather than cause the skin to literally ''whiten'', whitening products actually tighten the pores and retexturise the skin to even out the tone, discolourations and blotchiness. This results in brighter complexion.

3. Promote Skin Metabolism

Usually, excessive melanin pigments are shed with the skin's natural cellular turnover. This ensure that the skin retains its normal colour. However, this process slows down due to exposure to UV rays and air-conditioning. Whitening massage creams help to promote skin metabolismmand stimulate cellular turnover so that melanin pigments are shed more efficiently.

4. Protect Skin From UV Rays

UV rays active melancoytes, which produce melanin pigments and cause dark spots. whitening products with a good sun protection factor (SPF) will shield the skin from UV rays to prevent overproduction of melanin.

5. Seal In Whitening Ingredients

Whitening products such as masks provide the skin with relief after a long day of being exposed to UV rays. Ten minutes with a mask will seal in beneficial ingredients within the skin to let them take effect gradually.

6. Target Other Dermal Cells

Melanin pigments were believed to be produced only within the melanocyte. However, melanin could also be produced in other dermal cells. This led to the development of products designed to target these cells.

7. Keep Skin Moist

Did you know that dehydrated skin reflects light unequally, which causes the skin to look dark and dull? A good whitening moisturising cream will keep your skin moist (and looking bright) all day long.
