A good foundation

Having the right foundation is a must when applying makeup. Not having the right foundation could ruin your entire makeup. There are two things to keep in mind when buying a foundation; your skin tone and skin type.
There are several forms of foundation depending with the function you want. To hide the acne spots and the dark circles, then Emulsion should be used. Cream based foundation is more suitable for those living in places with moderate climate. It is also good for dry skin as they contain enough oil. On the other hand, gel based foundation is better who lives in warm climates as it is lighter and gives more sheen. For all skin types, liquid foundation is one kind that is available. But it is not so effective in hiding the marks. For the natural look appearance but no marks on the skin, then Gel is what you need. For oily skin, Cakes or Sticks are the thing for you. It gives a day matt look and excellent in hiding marks.
Foundations are not harmful for the skin. In fact it is good not only to hide the scars and the marks, but protects the skin against pollutants and dirt as well. It also works as a sunscreen and balance the moisture levels of the skin.

Age Seen in Our Hands

Most of the time we forget to moisturize and protect our hands. There is the old art that you can tell a womans age by the state of her hands. The skin on our hands is subjected to a lot of activity, from work, play and utility, but also it is prone to substantial washes and sanitizing. Its good to remember to moisturize and treat our hands well when they are not busy working. Using a heavy hand cream and encasing our hands in a pair of light gloves while we sleep to give them a boost of moisture.
Wearing sunscreen for our hands is also a great idea especially when we our driving, because we know the sun does a lot of damage! Even during cloudy days, it can cause us to be exposed to harsh rays that can cause our delicate hands skin aging.

How to Reduce Your Age With Top 10 Antioxidant Fruits and Vegetables


Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants, compounds that scavenge free radicals. Free radicals, produced by metabolic reactions, can promote oxidative stress and even atherosclerosis and cancer. Increased oxidative stress can damage cells, including their proteins, lipids, and DNA, and contribute to aging. Free radicals also deplete nitric oxide, a gas that is the antihypertensive principle in ACE inhibitors and helps relax blood vessels. Antioxidant content varies widely among fruits and vegetables. Here you can learn about the top ten fruits and vegetables.

Old Time Skin Remedy and Ancient Health Tonic

Honey is like a wonder tonic. A spoonful of honey acts to balance metabolic systems when ingested, and is a natural antibacterial. Cleopatra from ancient Egypt bathed in milk and honey for a flawless complexion. England’s Queen Anne used it on her hair for moisturizing and shine. Honey is a natural humectant that attracts and retains moisture. With its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, it’s been touted for centuries to repair damaged, sensitive skin. Bacteria cannot grow in honey so the ancient Egyptians painted it on wounds to keep infections from forming. Smear some honey on your gums to help heal sensitive, sore mouths. You can make a classic old time smoothing lotion for extra dry skin by combining equal parts honey, lemon juice and any kind of vegetable oil (extra virgin olive oil or avocado oil are excellent), leave it on dry areas for 20-30 minutes and rinse off or jump in the bath and soak it off leaving skin soft and smooth all over. It’s also touted that if you take a spoonful of honey daily that is produced by bees in your geographical area, it will help you become immune to allergies of pollens since that honey is made directly from the pollens you’re affected by. Honey is good to take for a sore throat since it helps sooth and disinfect the throat. Taking honey daily can also help ward off arthritis and joint problems. Using honey to sweeten everything instead of sugar can gain you many health benefits while omitting the bad calories and dentist bills.

Bathing Beauty

In Ayurveda, bathing-or snaana- is a lot more than a simple hygiene practice or a soak in the tub. Bathing is a part of therapeutic and purifying process designed to restore stability to mind and body.Ayurveda nurtures the body inside-out by balancing the forces of the five elements. The daily bath, using the curative power of water, is an essential part of this process.

It is not just Ayurveda that glorifies the work. The primeval Greeks and Romans, for example, treated the bath as a curing activity and ablution remains the precondition for prayer or meditation in many cultures.

Bathing has always enjoyed the status of a sacred activity in Indian life as far back as Vedic civilization. It was in India that European colonizers in the 18th century learnt of and adopted the conception of a daily bath.
