Cosmetics For Beauty
Some people are so obsessed with beauty that they spend their last penny on creams or put on make- up to achieve different looks at different times. These days, it's not surprising to see beauty - conscious women doing those tried and tested tips like putting mayonnaise on the hair, cucumbers on the eyes and even milk or eggs on the face. All these for the sake of beauty.
Undoubtedly, cosmetics has played an important role in women's lives. Superficial or not, most spend endless hours being scrubbed, massaged, exfoliated and made up like a butterfly. You have beauty products for having lovely eyes, sweet fragrances, oil-free foundations, dyes, anti-ageing creams, moisturizers, powders, lipsticks, among others.
"But one should be careful," explains dermatologist Glibenette Tapang - Panlaqui. "Contact dermatitis to cosmetics is common nowadays due to the wide range of products available in the market. The leading cause of skin reactions due to cosmetics is fragrances. Other causes are preservatives such as Bronopol, lanolin, and woolwax alcohols."
The severity of the skin reactions, she says, vary from person to person or from time to time for the same person, due to the conditions of the skin at the time of exposure to a given concentration of the irritant.
"It is therefore advisable to buy products which are labeled hypo-allergenic or non-comedogenic and do a patch test before using the products on the skin to make sure one is not allergic to it, " Dr. Panlaqui adds.
Cosmetic ingredients vary. They come from aloe vera, wheat grain products, essential oils and extracts derived from plants. One of the newest are florabeads which are ideal for facial scrub.
Evidence of mechanical exfoliation dates back as 3,000 BC when honey and salt constituted the main cleansing ingredients of the Egyptian religious community. According to data, exfoliation acids have a long history of use like the baths taken by Cleopatra and Marie Antoinette.
Aside from the scrubs, cosmetics and treatment are reputed to beautify and minimize ageing effects. Hair cosmetics strengthen the hair and scalp as well as color it; lipstick makes one look more attractive; powder makes the skin glow and rosy; and fragrance leaves an enchanting scent. Indeed, the growing complexity of today's market combine make-up and treatment using cosmetics that don't harm the skin.
What are the precautions to take? Don't forget the patch test. Keep away from the sun, use an umbrella or a sunblock lotion. Throw away old make-up. Read labels just like you would food and medicine labels.
Dr. Panlaqui also warned about the following cosmetics and its harmful ingredients:
In axilliary deodorants and antiperspirants, aluminum salts like aluminum chloride or zinc slats (e.g. zinc chloride act as a primary irritant. In roll-ons, the quaternary ammonium compounds may produce allergic contact dermatitis.
In hair dyes, those containing PPDA or paraphenylenediamine may act as sensitizer. Hair bleaches peroxide ad ammonia.
In lipsticks, the perfumes used and di- and tetrabomo -fluorescein in the dyes may cause sensitization reactions.
In eye make-up, be wary of preservatives and perfumes.
In sunscreens, keep away from paraaminobenzoicacid and its esters.
In depigmenting creams, beware of those containing hydroquinone.
Well, while cosmetics really makes a whole lot of difference in enhancing a woman's beauty, there's still no substitute for a radiant and sincere smile.

Skin Care Beauty Products
Research into how a person can have beautiful skin has progressed a great deal in recent years; providing you are prepared to learn a few facts about skin care and implement them routinely, improvements will be seen. Whilst plastic surgery, liposuction and other invasive techniques have been incredibly popular in the past, mainly because they provide near instant results, that is no longer the case with modern beauty care. But more natural beauty care products are the order of the day now and whilst they may take a little longer to produce results, they are longer lasting and have other health benefits.
The days of cold creams and the like are over with modern formulations light years ahead of what they once were. The skin that covers our entire body has an important role to play in continuing our health and beauty so should not be overlooked when it comes to regular maintenance.
The first and most important step in any skin care regimen is to cleanse your face to remove any makeup, dust and bacteria that it has encountered throughout the day. This is done by a gentle massage routine using the cleanser on a cotton pad, finally rinsed off with warm water.
Each person's skin has its own pH balance and if you use a toner once you have cleansed your skin, it will re-establish your natural PH balance. Lotions and moisturizers massaged into the skin help to reduce the effect of wrinkles and ensure the skin is more supple. Moisturizing also has the added bonus of locking in the moisture that can be lost without its use, so do not skimp on this beauty care product.
Every week, at least once but preferably twice, it is recommended you get rid of dead skin cells by exfoliation or a natural peel, which is becoming a more popular skin care routine. Once you have exfoliated; a normal cleanse and then tone will be necessary as part of the process.
Skin around the eye is very delicate and needs to be looked after so special beauty care product creams help alleviate the dark rings and puffiness that some people suffer ensuring the sin is much more supple and youthful looking. Often forgotten, water is an important aspect that provides many beneficial properties to help the skin, like hydration and removing unwanted toxins. It is not a good idea to forget the important role our skin plays in our overall health and of course how we look so taking care of it is not just about vanity.

Rating Skin Care Products For Aging Skin Care
Aging skin care should be of the gentlest approach. When rating skin care products, I give low scores to those that contain abrasives and irritants. This is because older skin is more easily damaged.
How to Repair Damaged Skin
The idea of using chemical peels, exfoliation and other irritants is simply illogical. You want to repair damage, not cause more. Here's a brief look at how you can do that.
Antioxidants
Oxidation makes us look older and deteriorates our body's organs. We could live longer and look better if we could prevent oxidation.
We can't prevent it entirely. If we could, we could live forever and our appearances would never change. But, we can slow the process down with antioxidants.
Anti aging skin care creams should be rich in antioxidants. Look for natural vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10, enzymes found in honey, elements in grape seed oil, fruit extracts and other botanicals, when you are comparing and rating skin care products.
Protein Complexes
Proteins are the building blocks for new skin cells. Skin cell production normally slows down with age. A protein called keratin, manufactured through a patented process that allows it to remain active, has been shown in clinical studies to increase the presence of new skin cells by 160% in only three days.
When I'm rating skin care products, I always give high scores to those that contain "Functional Keratin". Of course, there aren't many of them on the market. Sometimes, it's tough to find effective aging skin care products, but it's worth the effort.
Kelp
What can kelp extracts do to beautify and protect your skin's appearance? A specific type, called wakame, has been shown to prevent the breakdown of hyaluronic acid in the skin. That amino acid is responsible for the skin's strength. Without it, faces begin to sag.
When rating skin care products, I always look for those that contain wakame kelp extract. While I've found many anti aging skin care creams that contain seaweed extract, most companies don't list the type of seaweed used. If you want the best, look for wakame.
More Antioxidants
You really cannot have too many antioxidants. Older cells contain more free radicals, which contribute to oxidative stress. They also contain fewer antioxidants. So, free radicals are more likely to do damage.
One of the interesting things about Functional Keratin is that it's also an antioxidant, a very unique one, at that. Normally, it takes one antioxidant-molecule to counter one free radical molecule, but a molecule of Functional Keratin can counter millions of them. There's simply nothing else like it.
Avoid Artificial Preservatives and Added Fragrances
This is always good advice, but it becomes even more important as we get older. Artificial preservatives and fragrances account for the majority of adverse and allergic reactions. People's tolerance for these allergens deteriorates with age.
High rating skin care products are free of artificial preservatives and added fragrances. Use a dab of perfume, but choose unscented lotions and creams. Artificial preservatives are unnecessary, as long as anti aging skin care cream is antioxidant-rich. Natural vitamin E and grape seed oil protect the other ingredients, as well as your face. - Margaret Bell

Skin Care Awareness
When you are aware of your skin care the right way, you can maintain a healthy and glowing skin all through your life.
You should be aware of the changes that occur in your skin, as well as the changes in the research and technology, so that you may evaluate, analyze, and change your skin care routines, these change should be based on the environmental conditions, your age, changes in your skin type, and advancement in technology and research.
As you grow older, your body natural skin maintenance mechanisms become weaker, and skin needs are changing, in the same time more and more facts are brought to light every day. You should be aware of the changing composition and nature of skin care products, so that your choice copes the supply to the needs the closest possible way.
Awareness also means knowing how to use your skin care products. Good practices include things like applying the moisturizers while the skin is damp(after cleansing), using upward strokes for better penetration of skin care products, removing the make up before going to bed, cleansing before moisturising or applying make up, using the correct amount of skin care products, etc. Thus, increasing the effectiveness of your skin care products is another focus area of serious skin care.
Awareness means being gentle with your skin. Things like over-exfoliation, use of low quality products, and application of strong-chemical based products, contact with detergents are all harmful to your skin. Some people have a wrong notion about serious skin care. For them serious skin care is - using large quantities of products as often as possible. However, this really is not serious skin care (and that's why awareness is so important).
Awareness is also about visiting your dermatologist for treatment of skin disorders. Ignoring the skin disorders can be fatal for your skin and might lead to permanent damage. So, if the things don't improve with over the counter medication, you should immediately visit a dermatologist. Self-surgery e.g. squeezing of acne/pimples is a big no (it can lead to permanent damage of your skin).
Awareness of skin care is more about precautions and preventive measures (than treatment). Awareness is about being proactive as well as reactive. In fact, we can say that 'awareness of skin care' is about being proactive about the needs of your skin so that the need for being reactive is reduced to a minimum.

Follow Homemade Beauty Tips – For Beauty Is In Nature’s Grips
Beautiful people of all ages have maintained that beauty is not as much reflected in the rosy, youthful look of the skin. When questioned about the secret to their beautiful skins, they have always attributed it to a healthy lifestyle and a few homemade beauty tips. Healthy lifestyle and homemade beauty tips are mostly based on the refreshing, detoxifying effects of natural and herbal products with the former fortifying the system's internal strength and the later protecting outwardly.
Homemade beauty tips, as such, are based on judicial choice of herbal ingredients for external skin care. Some home-based natural skin care tips would be as follows:
• Buttermilk/cream and yogurt make excellent skin cleansers. They are also excellent for giving a glowing, uniform color and skin tone. They have been used for wrinkle reduction and plumping/rejuvenating the skin. What also works great is eating salmon 2 times a week. Salmon is very high in omega-3 fatty acids and is great for your skin and nervous system (it is interesting to note that salmon and spinach are 2 of the best super foods).
• After-bath application of almond oil is undoubtedly a great treat for the skin - the suppleness and glow it brings to the skin is unmatched by even the very best of moisturizers. Almond oil in conjunction with a TCA peel is currently used by many physicians and dermatologists. The almond oil increases the healing time and actually makes the results even better. Apply every 2-3 months for maximum results. TCA peels are now available for in home use at tremendous savings (please see the link below for more details).
• Regular application of honey or yogurt makes the skin soft and has a gentle bleaching effect. This really does work, but can take 8-10 applications to see visible results.
• Sea salt/sugar mixed with olive oil works as an extraordinary at-home body exfoliation preparation. Basically this will yield a good microderm abrasion treatment when applied properly. Apply once per month.
• Different natural and herbal products like Aloe Vera, Basil, Chamomile, Lavender, Marshmallow, Neem, Oatmeal, Sandalwood, Tea tree oil, Turmeric, Witch Hazel, etc. used as facial packs often help to dispose dead cells and impurities lodged in the skin to unclog pores. Side by side playing the roles of cleansers, the natural processes of these herbal products and elements strike the water-oil balance of the skin and help restore its natural pH - good for reducing acne bacteria and similar skin conditions.
If you find it too troublesome to go for natural skin treatments, the safest choice will be the TCA peels. The ready-to-be-used medically approved TCA peels have an answer for almost all skin problems - right from acnes to wrinkles and skin pigmentations to dryness. With long lasting effects, TCA peels give back the skin its natural healthfulness. With no harmful side effects (nearing the gentleness of homemade beauty tips), TCA peels can be safely used for teen-age skin problems.
Two is undoubtedly 'company' but three is not always 'crowd'. TCA peels, balanced diets and a few homemade beauty tips make enviable company when it comes to revitalizing the skin. Especially the above mentioned combination of almond oil and the TCA peel. I have used this myself and experienced a rejuvenation similar to taking 15 years off - simply amazing. Therefore, surrender to the cares of the threesome and be the proud possessor of a youthful skin and look!

Beauty – Common Skin Conditions
Freckles, scars, spots, strange moles, skin cancer - unfortunately, unexpected things happen. And yes, they can happen right on your face, and when they do, they may make you feel embarrassed, unattractive, or self-conscious. Often what plagues you is painfully obvious. Yet sometimes, you may not recognize what's developing there at the bottom of your right cheek or above your left nostril. Where did it come from? Why did it target you? What can you do about it?
Discoloration
Discoloration is a kind of catchall word referring to any kind of dark spots, splotches, or patches on your skin. Hyperpigmentation is another term and is used interchangeably. Freckles qualify as discoloration, as do melasma and age spots.
Discoloration is caused by an excess of melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. In some people, ultraviolet light, female hormones, and even age can trigger cells to overproduce melanin in odd spots. To avoid creating more discoloration, discontinue birth control pills or estrogen-replacement pills (if you're on them) and begin using sunscreens. Bleaching products, alpha hydroxy products, retinoids, microbrasion, chemical peels, and laser therapy can also lighten marks.
Cystic acne
The word "acne" is often used as a general term to describe any group of recurring blemishes. Yet a few whiteheads on the chin around your period is a very different thing from a scattering of scarlet nodular blemishes on your face, neck, shoulders, or back. Dermatologists call this cystic, severe, or nodular acne, and if you suffer from it, you know it is not only painful, but deeply embarrassing.
Stress appears to play a significant role in the development of cystic acne. Deep breathing, meditation, and other tension-busting activities can help prevent it.
An acne cyst begins as a pimple deep in the sebaceous gland, where excess sebum and bacteria combine to create an infected nodule. Because this disease (yes, it's considered a disease) is disfiguring and difficult to treat with over-the-counter products, it is important to see a dermatologist, who may suggest a combination of oral and topical antibiotics, or even Accutane. This is an oral drug that suppresses sebum production: Because Accutane causes severe facial and ear deformities in fetuses, your dermatologist will require you to sign a document stating you will not get pregnant while undergoing treatment with this drug.
Large pores
Large pores are created in two ways. The first is through aggressive squeezing of blackheads and whiteheads, which stretches the pore. The second is heavy sebum production. When the sebaceous gland produces large volumes of sebum, the pore is forced to expand to release the oil and is therefore enlarged.
Unlike normal pores, large pores are visible to people around us. They are also easily clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. At the moment, there is no product or treatment available that can close these pores up to normal size. The best you can do is keep pores debris-free with thorough cleansing, exfoliation, masks, and professional facials - all will help make pores appear slightly smaller.
