For Ever-Young Face

WRINKLES

Never allow your skin to feel or get dry, specially in the area which is prone to lines and wrinkles. Avoid using too much soap over these areas , and instead use cleaning milk or a cleansing cream to remove the make-up and dirt. Then wash with ordinary water , but never use very cold or very hot water for this kind of skin.

Use a heavy night cream containing lanolin on these areas, patting it on rather than massaging it in any direction, as that would further stretch the skin. If a good night cream is not available, then use a cold cream to which is added one ounce of pure lanolin, two drops of almond oil and four drops of Vitamin A and D. This would give you a very good nutrient cream. For the day using any make-up to prevent any natural moisture being lost dry, as there is a lot of moisture in the atmosphere.

Extremely dry and cold weather dries up the skin, as you have must noticed, so take the utmost care of your skin at that time of the year. Add a little fat to your diet if you have an extremely dry skin. As you know very well, the areas which show lines faster are those under the eyes , around the mouth, and those where frown lines and neck lines appear.

DIRECTIONS : (Contd..)

1. 5.Your face is now ready for the pack. Apply the paste (which you have made in a clean, empty cream container or a small, clean cup). You should choose your pack after going through the beauty recipes, and find out which suits your skin as well as the climate in which you use it. Make sure that when you apply the pack you leave out the area around the eyes, lips and ears, as the pack will be of no use if applied there. Also remember to cover your neck(both in front and at the back.) For the purpose of applying the pack, use either a bit of cotton – wool or a swab-stick(which you can make yourself, like the one used for painting the throat).

It is better to lie down while the pack is drying. One should not talk, as any facial movement will stretch the skin. Besides, the pack will come off faster from around the mouth than the rest of the face, although this is the area which needs the pack most as pores, pimples or backheads form in this particular park of the face. So, for the best effect, lie down silently with your eyes closed.

PACKS AND MASKS

HOW TO USE A FACE PACK

Since a pack has ben advised in many skin-care directions, it will not be out of place to explain how a face pack or a mask is used properly to get the maximum results. And that applies to all kinds of packs and masks. The difference between a pack and a mask is that packs are normally a mixture of many ingredients, and also do not harden on the face so much as the mask, whereas a mask can be made from one ingredient, is applied in a thick layer, and hardens on the skin after drying. Both are equally effective, but generally, older girls and women shuld use masks for better results.

DIRECTIONS :

1. 1. Tie your hair away frm the face, and put a towel around your neck to prevent the pack paste trickling down to your clothes.
2. 2. Clean your face with good cleansing milk and wipe off with a facial tissue.
3. 3. Now wash your face with ordinary water,and dab-dry it with a towel.
4. 4. Apply the face cream all over the face and the neck, and, if you have time, massage for 5 minutes. Then wipe off with a hot, wet towel and dabdry your face with a clean towel.

YOUR EYEBROWS

As you already aware , your espressive features are the eyes and the eyebrows. your moods and thoughs are reflected through them. The eyebrows frame yours eyes. They can be made to look very attractive and perfect, even if they are not, as you can have the shape changed to your advantage. They can be more shapely and can correct some of the other features of your face such as a broad nose, closed-in eyes, a very long face, a broad face if you merely select the desired shape to create an optical illusion of perfect features.

Eye-brow shaping is not as simple as most of you would think it to be. Seek the advice of beauty experts specially trained to deal with different faces, to tell you what exactly will suit you. Believe me, the pencil-thin eyebrows drawn on the face are not the doings of beauty experts, but of the novices who, after hearing or reading of them, have decided to change the shape of their eyebrows, not knowing the do's and donts' involved.

PERFECT MAKE-UP - Contd(2)...

NIGHT MAKE-UP :

This can be bold, and you can be a little more adventurous. Use a tinted foundation for a dry skin, and a pancake for an oily skin. Cream rouge is a better choice, as it spreads on nicely, without stretching the skin. Do not leave a line of demarcation. Blush-on is the best rouge. Make the correct choice of colour. For a frosted eye-shadow, keeping in mind the shade of clothes you are ging to wear. Use very little of it, starting from the middle ofyour upper lid and finishing under the brow end. Use one eyeliner to draw a complete line over the upper lid, keeping as close as possible to the eyelashes and taking it out and above. Always keep your eye-brows tidy by tweezing the stray hair which make the natural line untidy.

PERFECT MAKE-UP - Contd...

THE COLOUR FOR YOU

For the day, always select a darker shade of powder foundation, than is your true colour. Use an invisible foundation during the day. At night, you can easily wear a shade lighter than your complexion. The sequence of make-up too is as important as the selection of the correct colour.

DAY MAKE-UP :

This should be natural and light. Select a good moisturizer. Tab and blend it evenly all over your face and neck, and dab on a bit of compact powder. A little line drawn with a black eyebrow pencil or liquid eyeliner from the inner corner of your, keeping in line with the curve of the lower eyelid and going up gradually, would be enough for the day. Shade your eyebrows also after brushing them in place. Apply a little mascaraon the eyelashes and finish off by applying

lipstick and a mellow coloured eye-shadow, if you must. Just of touch of rouge is enough , or a

blush-on could be used.

PERFECT MAKE-UP

It is better to understand the correct meaning of make-up. Some women take it simply as an application of powder, rouge and lipstick. And sme others are given to a theatrical use of cosmetics. Neither attitude is correct. Make-up means the enhancement of natural beauty by the use of cosmetics, in perfect harmony to the individual complexion. Colour harmony is the secret of perfect make-up. You can accentuate your good features and play down the not-so-good ones with aid of make-up.

More often than not, one is inclined to buy cosmetics because of their attractive presentation or perfume, without really considering the colour that would harmonize with a particular complexion. Often, the colour of lipstick, rouge, eye-shadow, and accessories like bag, shoes, jewellery and dress are not taken into consideration. to make the perfect picture of a well- groomed person one has to be thoughtful in selecting the colour of one's cosmetics.

SPECIFIC SKIN CARE

Dry Skin: These need a good nourishing cream which is non-drying, as well as a rich vitamin night cream, to nourish the skin and replenish the grease that is lost during the day and in the course of washing and cleaning. They would also need a skintonic to tone up the skin and keep it looking healthy and fresh.

Oily Skin: These are a problem to keep clean, so one should go in for a very good liquid cleaner, which is not greasy. To nourish the skin use a light cream, for heavy creams will give rise to pimples. A good astringent cream will help the skin to remain less oily, and keep the pores clean. Also use a good face pack once a week to keep the skin looking clean and free of pimples. A light moisturizer for use during the day is also a must.

Older Skins: For these skins, use a night cream that is also a hormone cream. Treat it as a dry skin and select the cosmetics accordingly.

Younger Skins: To treat these skins, follow the prescribed for greasy skins and use the same preparations.

Skin with Pimples: Wash this skin with tepid water twice a day, and rub ice all over the face, and three or four times a day over the area where you have pimples. Dab a little listerine diluted with rose water on the pimples. Do not Use any greasy cream.

Skin Care

Basic Skin Care

You cannot develop a good skin overnight. You have to consistently work for it with the right routine and the right products. If you have a good skin it is essential to preserve it with regular care. Years of carelessness cannot be compensated by going in for an expensive range of products, or by caring for it over much . The best results are obtained by regularity, and a progess is slow.

The best care for your skin is to cleanse it properly. Use a good cleaning milk and wash it off with water or properly, as the case may be. Then use a good night cream to massage your face. Always massage the face in upward and sideways strokes, and the area around the eyes in circular, outside-inside movements. Then tap the skin under the a little to prevent puffiness and lines. Wipe off excess cream with a tissue, and leave a bit of it around the eyes. You should never sleep with the cream on at night, but let your skin breathe. Moreover, the skin will absorb all the cream it can in the first ten minutes, and leaving it on for more time is just a false consolation.

HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR SKIN TYPE:

Oily Skin: This skin is always oily especially on getting up in the mornig , and all through te day has a tendency towards open pores. Blackheads, spot and pimples appear fast if you neglect if. However, this skin lasts longer, and looks young only if looked after.

Dry Skin: This skin seems dry after washing, and can have small lines, specially around the mouth; small pores on the nose are normal, and no pores are visible on the cheeks. But it needs protection all through the day. Dry skins are very fragile and, if neglected, can lead to premature lines and wrinkles.

Combination Skin: This is conspicuous by an oily panel down the face, covering the centre of the forehead and nose down to the chin, and is dry on the sides of the face. This is a very common type of skin, and if cared for accordingly, has a good chance of lasting longer.

KNOW YOUR SKIN

A lot of research and all-round effort has gone into formulating various cosmetics from organic and inorganic chemicals and extracts, for maximum benefits to the skin. The most important aspect of these beatuty preparations to skin preservation. The cosmetics industry as well as beauty therapists are,concentrating a lot of time on improving skin-care preparations . No wonder there are ever so many products in the market, in response to the never ending demand for effective skin cosmetics.

Before deciding what to do for your skin you must analyse your skin type, as skin care is different for different skin types. Basically , there are three types of skins: Oily,Dry and Combination skins.

Skin Care Introduction

Let me start with that old aphorism: " Beauty is skin deep" Used originally to distinquish the physical and Spiritual, it has been mouthed , over the ages, all those who envy beauty. Beauty is not and can never be merely skin deep,for no amount of cosmetics or make-up can hide the pallor of an unhealthy disposition. The basic elements of beauty lie not on the surface, but inside, and a primarily happy frame of mind in a healthy body, is the only requirement for that "glow"and "sparkle" so much a part of beauty.
