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 |
