Common Make-up Mistakes

too much powder to the face. This gives the skin a very artificial matte look. Powder only where needed - the sides of nose and centre of brow and chin (if these areas shine). Using a cream-powder foundation instead of a sandwich technique of liquid plus loose powder, will help give you a lasting dewy fresh look.

Before Make-up

If you use make-up regularly, it can affect the delicate skin of your face. However, a few precautions can help maintain the radiance of your face. Before applying make-up, wash your face, blot dry, put on your sunscreen and let it set for a minute or two, put on your antioxidant cream and finally apply your makeup.

Sunscreen and cream is best applied when the skin is still moist, which helps the creams to penetrate better. However, applying moisturizer to damp skin will act as a good foundation for makeup to go on more uniformly. Don't use too much moisturizer. Try gently blotting the face with a tissue to absorb any excess.

Fuller Lips

The most obvious way to get nice fuller lips is recreate shape outside the natural lip-line, however, that is a back dated idea. Instead, aim for a natural-look. Start by applying a light coating of a waxy lip-balm to provide a smooth texture. Now use a lip-pencil, one shade deeper than your natural lip-color, to line the outer border. Round the points at the bow area of your lips using short light strokes. Next brush on a shimmering color or gloss in the same shade, bringing the color just short of the border.

Pores On Nose
Pores look larger when they are clogged with the oil and sebum secreted by the skin. Removing the dead skin on a regular basis is the best remedy for this. Various methods that help include
" Use pore strips once a week for best results.
" Clay masks used regularly helps pull out trapped oil and dead skin.
" Exfoliating with retinal products and Retina-A too helps.
" Another option is a series of glycerol acid peels. Any of these options cleans out the pores so they are less noticeable.
" If the problem still persists, consult a dermatologist for a treatment called microdermabrasion.

Night cream

Night cream

Night creams come highly recommended as they aid your skin to heal itself from the day´s assaults. A treatment cream containing soothing ingredients and antioxidants helps revitalize the skin. What´s more, heavier and more moisturizing creams work best at night. However, if your skin is too oily a night cream would only worsen your problem.

Exfoliation

Exfoliation sloughs away dull, dead cells and bringing radiant younger ones to light. However, the question is - how often should one exfoliate. If you do it too often, you skin may turn sensitive. The key is to exfoliate based on your skin´s resilience.

" If you have healthy skin, that is well moisturized you can exfoliate three to four times a week.

" Dry skin that´s not particularly sensitive can be exfoliated two or three times a week to get rid of flakes and scaly patches.

" Women with very sensitive skin or conditions like rosacea, eczema or adult acne should limit exfoliation to once or twice a week.

When choosing an exfoliating product, opt for a gentle scrub with synthetic beads, since "natural" ingredients like walnut shells or ground peach pits are often too harsh for skin. You can also go in for lotions containing alpha hydro acids (Ah As) or retinal.

Stretch Marks

The main cause for stretch marks is a rapid gaining or losing of weight, particularly during pregnancy. The skin stretches too quickly and loses collagen or elastin fibers, leaving a thinner skin. This can be treated at its early stage with strong Retin A. You could also consult a dermatologist if it is really bad. However, don´t fret too much, for they fade away with time.

Scaly Skin

Scaly patches of skin can be a disappointment if you are planning to bare your skin. These spots are ´eczema´, which presents itself in a number of ways, including itching, rashes and thickened brown patches of skin. People who suffer from hay fever and other allergies may be at greater risk of developing eczema.

Keep the affected areas well moisturized using a thick moisturizing cream. You can also try experimenting with a lotion containing AHAs to slough off the thickened skin. Avoid picking or scratching at the patches as this can lead to bleeding and scarring. Visit a dermatologist if the problem persists.
