Its important to be Protecting your skin during and after a workout and we are going to tell you how you can do this.

Do not wear your make up-  working out without your make up on is one of the best ways to protect your skin during and after exercise. This is because you run the risk of clogging your pores by exercising with it on, which can lead to breakouts. Also you will just sweat most of it off anyway.

Clean the equipment-  carry a pack of antibacterial wipes with you, then you can clean any of the equipment before you use it. This will protect your skin by keeping bacteria and germs from coming into contact with your body. You won’t have to worry about skin infections or other yucky stuff.

Wash your hands- always wash your hands after exercising!  This will clean germs and bacteria off your skin so you won’t transfer them to your face, which is a prime way of getting ill.

Have a shower- make sure you always  have a shower after exercise.  If you don’t then this will  increase the risk of breakouts all over your body.  This seems obvious but you would be surprised, make sure you wash your sweaty clothes and wear clean ones for your next workout to avoid bacteria and germs spreading and causing spots. 

Use sunscreen- if you are planning on exercising outside then be sure to wear sunscreen to protect your skin. An SPF of at least 30 is recommended.

Drink water- make sure you drink water before, during and after you exercise. Carry a water bottle with you so you don’t forget.  This is important as if you are dehydrated this will really show on your skin.

How to get rid of facial hair

Today we are going to tell you How to get rid of facial hair

How to get rid of facial hair is todays topic on our blog

If you feel like you have too much facial hair we are going to tell How to get rid of facial hair,  some are long term treatments some are not  what you choose to do it up to you:

1. Waxing –  is one of the most popular ways to get rid of facial hair . It’s quick and cheap if you get it done at a salon, and not too painful given that it’s such a small area. You can also buy kits for use at home; it’s easy once you grasp the technique.  But there are several cons with waxing. Firstly if you have sensitive skin it may not be for you the waxing  process means  the skin has   to have  pre wax products applied to the skin which can irritate the skins can  the after wax product. Waxing  is not always effect with removing the hairs  as you do get the hair breakage which can then become ingrown hairs.  Not to forget having a sticky face and if done incorrectly bruising. All this need to be taken in to consideration before having it done.
2. Laser treatment  – is a good option if you want a more permanent method of hair removal. Obviously it’s not the cheapest method, but will pay for itself in time and money saved having your lip waxed. Laser treatment works best on fairer skins with dark hair, so it’s not a suitable option for everyone. the cons to laser are as with all hair removal is painful, you need to make sure you complete a series of treatments for it be work,  it may not be suitable for you skin skin/hair type to work efficiently  and It’s also a substantial financial commitment.
3. IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light, is a better choice for women with darker skin and lighter hair. Like laser treatment, it’s not a cheap option, but it is one of the more permanent methods. The hair will either be gone permanently, or grow back finer than before.  Cons of IPL is that it is not as effect as laser  and clients can be mislead inn to thinking it is as with laser a course needs to be completed  for it to work probably. Time and money need to be considered with this one too.
4. Depilatory cream - if you  want a quick, cheap method of hair removal that you can use at home,depilatory cream is a good choice. Obviously it doesn’t last long and you’ll need to keep repeating it, but it’s so quick and easy that it’s a good method to use if you can’t afford to shell out for expensive salon treatments like IPL. The down side is its not nessarly suitable for sensitive  skin, it  breaks the hair just under the skin so will grow back in a couple of days, and smells awful.
5.  Tweezing   - is great for the odd few hairs, it’s worth investing in a good pair of tweezers that will grip even the tiniest of hairs. Use good lighting when you’re tweezing, and exfoliate the skin first. If the site gets irritated, use a soothing cream or gel. the downside its only good for taking  the odd hair , the hairs can break when being pulled,  and deepening on the cycle of the hit can grow back quickly.
6. Threading  - Have you heard of threading? It’s a commonly used method of removing body hair in the Middle East, and but  in recent years  has become popular in other countries  Threading uses cotton thread to pull out the hairs. This down by twisting the tread and catching the hairs in the twist it is a very effective method of hair removal and is suitable for everyone as no heat or chemicals are used. the down side  you are very unlikely to be able to do this yourself,  it like all hair removal is painful.
7. Electrolysis  - Before the arrival of laser treatment and IPL, electrolysis used to be the most popular method of permanent hair removal, it is not as expensive as laser or IPL  and it can be done on anybody the removal of hairs is permanent or at very least will be finer. The down sides are that you still need a course of treatments, it is very time-consuming and may be painful.

We hope you have found todays blog on How to get rid of facial hair useful.

What do you know about tanning pills

What do you know about tanning pills, are they want they seem?

What do you know about tanning pills? lets take a look at this today

So What do you know about tanning pills? they sound great but are they is the question.

Most of us would love a golden tan without the damage it can cause from the sun or sun beds and now a days there are other options, one of them being tanning pills but do they work and how safe are they.

The active ingredients in tanning pills are pigments called carotenoids, which are a range of yellow to red colours. Canthaxanthin is also used as a colour additive in food manufacturing,you may find it under the name Food Orange 8, carophyll red or roxanthin red 10. It occurs naturally and is derived from shellfish, fish, mushrooms and certain plants.

Normally when you tan it’s melanin, a brown pigment, that determines the colour of the skin you’re in and it’s also what causes you to tan (that’s the skin’s way of protecting itself from the sun’s rays). But when you take tanning pills you completely change the way you develop a tan, there are no ultraviolet rays or melanin involved. In fact you may not even develop a brown tan, you could just end up looking more like you’ve been tango’d.

Canthaxanthin which is the active ingredient, is what simulates the tan when using tanning pills.  It is used to pigment your skin in the same way that  it’s used as a colour additive to deeper the saturation of  tomato sauce and added to a chicken’s diet to intensify the colour of its egg yolk.  If you consume it in large amounts  it will give you that fake orange-brown, sun-kissed glow. The way it works is the body dissolves canthaxanthin in the fat (the adipose tissue) just beneath the epidermis and when we’ve consumed the pigment in large quantities it begins to accumulate in that fatty layer, tinting the colour of your skin.

While canthaxanthin may or may not be an effective way to develop a fake bronze tan without the sun exposure, there is a problem with taking canthaxanthin supplements for tanning purposes.  You need to consume high doses of the pigment before you see results and you need to continue using the pills consistently for at least two weeks before enough pigment is deposited in your skin to show a noticeable change in colour  and consuming large amounts of canthaxanthin has side effects ranging from the cosmetic to fatal.  There is still more research needed to confirm if they actually work anyway.

So there is some useful information on the subject of tanning pills, What do you know about tanning pills.

Disease spreads through make up

Do you think Disease spreads through make up

Disease spreads through make up in more ways than one

There are a few ways in which Disease spreads through make up and today we are going to warn you of them.

Storing makeup at the right temperature- Cosmetics normally contain preservatives that help prevent bacteria from growing, but if you store makeup incorrectly it can mean germs will be able to grow. This is why it is important to keep makeup at room temperature; storing them in a hot place or in direct sunlight will make it much easier for bacteria to thrive. Anything above 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29 degrees Celsius) becomes dangerous for makeup storage.

Don’t share your make up- swapping cosmetics can mean trading germs. Makeup brushes and applicators can easily carry bacteria from one person to another and moist dark containers allow these germs to thrive. You especially should never share lip and eye products, as these areas are easily infected.

You may want to re think using the tester-Diseases from sharing makeup aren’t just spread through close friends; you can also pick them up if you use the tester products at the local beauty counter, or if you have a department store makeup consultant give you a makeover. In fact, one study found staph, strep and E. coli bacteria in department store makeup tester products Without safety precautions, a carefree makeover day can turn into a visit to the doctor.  Hmm i think we’ll give this a miss in the future!

So think before passing your lippy round your friends next time that your on a night out or testing make up in a department store as Disease spreads through make up.

Picture Perfect

How to get that Picture Perfect look

Picture Perfect make up

Its never good to look back at photos and think oh no I look so washed out or your lips look non existent so heres how to make yourself Picture Perfect.

Foundation- apply mineral foundation and concealer as this will not reflect off the light or flash and therefore you will not end up with a shiny head.   If you want your face to look more symmetrical, apply concealer down your nose.

Bronzer-its good to add a little extra dimension to your face,  to do this, take a bronzing colour and brush from the corner of the mouth to the top of the ear to shade in your cheek bones, make sure its the right colour for you.  If you have a big forehead you can add bronze to your hair line.  Blend everything back to the hairline as this will create a more natural look.  You may also want to apply a rosy blush to your cheeks to top it all off.

Eye make up-use an eye shadow colour that matches your skin colour and apply it all over the lid then take a brown colour and apply it into your crease and outer corner of your eye. This will help contour your eye and will give a little more dimension and pop to your eyes. You can also use greys, blues, or any colour you like to create this look.  Use eyeliner to line your eyes and blend this by using a small amount of eyeshadow that matches the eyeshadow you have applied to your eyes already.  Finish your eyes off by curling your lashes and applying your mascara.

Lips- Sometimes in photo’s it can look like your lips don’t even exist. To make sure this doesn’t happen to you take a light brown or neutral colour lip liner and line your lips. Then apply a peachy pink lipstick.To finish the look use a pink/nude lip gloss. This will give you natural full looking lips.

Now you can be Picture Perfect whenever you know that the camera is coming out.

What is in Beauty Creams

Today we are going to look at What is in Beauty Creams

Have you ever wondered What is in Beauty Creams

We thought it would be interesting to have a look at What is in Beauty Creams we discovered that there is actually some very unusual  stuff in them.

Facial creams claim to do everything from minimizing wrinkles to completely reversing the aging process.  And the formulas for these cosmetics are  very complex and usually closely guarded, but it’s mandated that the ingredients are clearly listed on the box or jar.  Next time you pick up a jar of face cream take the time to read the label, you may be surprised at what you see.  It has been discovered that Human breast milk and  he bone marrow of a chicken  may be  just a couple of things you may find in your beauty cream.

Our ancient ancestors used various natural concoctions to help preserve their skin.  Such as rose oil, kiwi, mud and honey are just a few  of the normal things would could expect to find  as  natural skin preservatives many are still  used today. Then there are the NOT so nice ones. In other Cultures  they used  different ingredients depending on what was available in their region. Some of those ingredients are still used today but if you knew what was in them would yo want to put it on your face  we think not so here are some of the ingredients used in other countries face creams:

• Nightingale droppings purportedly have some very special properties that can leave skin feeling cleansed, moisturized, silky smooth and beautifully bright. The droppings are dried, bombarded with UV light (to sanitize them) and crushed into powder.
• Whale vomit, otherwise known as ambergris, has been used for centuries as a fixative in perfumes, some of which find their way into your beauty cream.
• Synthetic snake venom is being used in some face creams as an anti-wrinkle treatment, and supposedly is similar to Botox. this is actually becoming quite common in the UK as well.
• Fish eggs aka – Caviar is used in anti-aging products. Some companies claim that it stimulates skin regeneration and provides proteins and vitamins.
• Several companies are even  making moisturizing creams with semen ( from a bull not a man not thats any better) Some studies found that semen has five times the healing quality of vitamin E.

So now that we have convinced you never to buy face cream from another country ever again,  still don’t forget to  read

What is in Beauty Creams in the UK before buying.

Do’s and Do’s not when doing smokey eye makeup

It may look simple but its always good to know the Do’s and Do’s not when doing smokey eye makeup

Today we are looking at some of the Do’s and Do’s not when doing smokey eye makeup

We have all seen the sultry  smokey eye make up but there are  a few Do’s and Do’s not when doing smokey eye makeup, and they are not all is obvious as you would think.

Why you should  use a primer  - eyeshadow primers  help absorb any excess  oils on the eyelid. which   is especially important for achieving a good smokey eye look, as it will keep your eye makeup looking gorgeous for hours and hours. Primers also help the eyeshadows go on smoothly without creasing, which is important if you’re going for more classic smokey eyes using dark colors. The more your shadow creases, the more unfinished your eye makeup will look.

Don’t over do the eyeliner -  The key to a flawless eyeliner look is to make sure it blends properly for a seamless finish. If you use too much eyeliner you’ll look more like a raccoon, rather than classy and seductive. Once you’ve applied your liner underneath the eyes (use a water-resistant or gel liner pencil ) you can use an eyeshadow in the same colour if you’re going for the classic look, or a contrasting colour and blend along the liner. The shadow will also create a barrier to catch any liner that bleeds.

Don’t forget to blend -When it comes to eye makeup, you can’t forget to blend, blend, blend! Without it you won’t achieve the results you want and your eyes will look messy and unfinished. The more you blend, the more flawless your eye makeup will look That is the case with all eyeshadow but is even more important when do a smokey eye look.

Colours of the rainbow - When creating your smokey eye look, make sure to choose colours that work together. For example, a neutral colour on the lid like a taupe, soft grey, or even a peach tone depending on your complexion, a slightly darker color in the crease like an ash brown, espresso, gunmetal, or plum for and a light champagne tone for your browbone work well together. For a darker complexion you would choose a warmer base shade to highlight the browbone. You can also use a lighter shade on the eyelid which is another smokey eye look that looks great too. The key is to know which colours work best for your skin tone and eye colour. If you are unsure what colours match use a colour wheel.

The removal of Acrylic Nails

The removal of Acrylic Nails

The removal of Acrylic Nails

The removal of Acrylic Nails should be done safely and you should avoid the following methods-

Although it may be tempting to snap off the tips when you’re tired of your fake nails, but it’s really not a good idea. If your nails have grown out substantially underneath, you can end up hurting yourself if the acrylic nail and your natural nail both break off below the edge of the nail bed. Even if the acrylic comes off painlessly, you can damage the surface of your nail.

Resist the urge to file away at the hardened acrylic paste, too. This layer can be quite thick, and you’ll find it difficult to file it down evenly. In addition to the aesthetic challenge of smoothing out your nail surface, you could easily file away too much. Overzealous filing can remove your natural nail along with the artificial layer. And if you have had them done in a nail bar the chances are they are already badly damaged underneath so why make them worst.

To remove acrylic nails safely you should follow the method below

Theses are items you will need:

• Nail clippers
• 2 Nail files (One should be course grain intended for fake nails, the other for natural nails)
• Acetone( not nail varnish remover but pure acetone)
• 2 bowls, 1 large enough to fit the other in (glass is best)
• Kitchen towel
• Almond oil or olive oil
• Nail block/buffer
• Hot water
• Aluminium foil (cut into 10 2″ sections)
. Cuticle pusher/orange stick

1.Firstly you will need to Clip fake nails down as low as possible, removing as much as you safely can.

2. File the surface of the nail so that you are breaking down the acrylic and allowing the acetone to penetrate.
3.Soak 10 cotton pads in acetone and place in the strips of foil. and wrap round each nail.
4. Leave for a minimum of 30 minutes, remembering that the moment you remove the foil the break-down of the acrylic will stop because exposing it to the air hardens the acrylic again.
5.After 30 minutes, remove foils, wipe nail firmly with kitchen towel to remove any acrylic that has dissolved with a cuticle pusher or orange stick
.6. Soak cotton pads in acetone again and repeat steps 3-5.
After an hour maybe left most of the acrylic should have come off and you should ten be able to use the natural file to gentle remove the residue if not then just repeat steps 3-5 until you can.
Because acrylic nails is very drying to the nails apply the olive oil to the nails once you hot them off.

The Removal of Acrylic Nails takes time and patience.

Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products Part 2

Here is Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products Part 2

Today we are looking at Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products Part 2

Last time we took a look at some of the Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products and today we are doing Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products Part 2 .

The next horror is;

BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene)-  are closely related synthetic antioxidants used as preservatives in lipsticks and moisturisers, among other cosmetics. butBHA and BHT has been known to induce allergic reactions in the skin. Long-term exposure to high doses of BHT is toxic  and has been  shown  that in studies that it may cause liver, thyroid and kidney problems and affect lung function and blood coagulation.

We don’t think this gets any less scary as we move on to ;

Coal Tar Dyes - Coal tar-derived colours are used extensively in cosmetics look for P-PHENYLENEDIAMINE in hair dyes and colours, potential to cause cancer and can be contaminated with heavy metals toxic to the brain.Darker hair dyes tend to contain more phenylenediamine than lighter colours.

Coal tar is a mixture of many chemicals, derived from petroleum, Coal tar is recognized as a human carcinogen and the main concern with individual coal tar colours (whether produced from coal tar or synthetically) is their potential to cause cancer. These colours may as well be contaminated with low levels of heavy metals and some are combined with aluminum substrate. Aluminum compounds and many heavy metals are toxic to the brain.

Regulations prohibit all but seven of these colours in eye makeup and other products used in the area of the eye. However, dozens of coal tar-derived colours are still widely used in other cosmetics.

It would seem that it is very  wise to read the ingredients of cosmetics and personal care products to ensure that  they are not on Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products  To Avoid  or on Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products Part 2

Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products

We all know that cometics carry some harmful chemicals in them but here are a few Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products

 Today we are taking a look at some of the Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products

After the recent discovery of some of the possible harmful affects on Parbens , we thought we would take a closer look atChemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products.

We are going to have to start with;

Parabens – now incase you didn’t know what they were and why they are used in a lot of everyday personal care products as well costmectis here is an insight into them.

What are  Parabens? Parabens  are used in makeup, moisturisers, shampoos and even baby wipes,ingredients with “pararaben” in their name (methylparaben, butylparaben, propylparaben, isobutylparaben, ethylparaben are used as fragrance ingredients. Although they are know to be toxic companies still use them. They may interfere with hormone function,rashes  and have been linked to  breast cancer.

Parabens  do occur naturally at low levels in certain foods, such as barley, strawberries, currents, vanilla, carrots and onions, Parabens in foods are metabolized when eaten, making them less strongly estrogenic. In contrast, when applied to the skin and absorbed into the body, parabens in cosmetics bypass the metabolic process and enter the blood stream and body organs intact. which is how they can then go on to cause health issues.

Next up is ;

DEA (Related chemicals: MEA and TEA) is also used in creamy and foaming products such as moisturiser, shampoo  and  acts as a pH adjuster, counteracting the acidity of other ingredients. DEA is mainly found in moisturisers and sunscreens, while cocamide and lauramide DEA are found in soaps, cleansers, and shampoos.

DEA and its compounds cause mild to moderate skin and eye irritation but exposed  to high doses of these chemicals can  cause liver cancers and precancerous changes in  the skin and thyroid.

The next delay chemical we put on ourselves is;

Dibutyl Phthalate or DBP is found in nail products and some hair sprays, Dibutyl phthalate or DBP is used mainly in nail products as a solvent for dyes and as a plasticizer that prevents nail polishes from becoming brittle.DBP is absorbed through the skin. It can enhance the capacity of other chemicals to cause genetic mutations,it has not been shown to be a mutagen itself but even that thought is a little frightening.  WE also discovered that in fact European Union classifies DBP as a suspected endocrine disruptor on the basis of evidence that it interferes with hormone function, and as reproductive toxic on the basis that it may cause harm to the unborn child and impair fertility.

These are just the top 3 Chemicals To Avoid In Cosmetic And Personal Care Products we will cover some more  in tomorrow’s blog

The facts about cosmetics and sunscreen

The facts about cosmetics and sunscreen and  how good are they?

Today we are  going tone having a look The facts about cosmetics and sunscreen

Lots of  cosmetics have SPF’s in  we are going to take a closer look at how effective they are and give you The facts about cosmetics and sunscreen.  

We wanted to know when we apply our SPF 25 foundation in the morning, how much protection are we actually getting? Firstly we need to have a look how much product we would need to apply, for the SPF to actually be what it say. This would need to be  approx three millilitres or  the size of a £2 pound coin, you would then need to be able to reapply this every two hours for it to be probably protecting you.

So if you are applying 2 mg of factor 25 lotion per square centimetre of skin  this means you’ll get SPF 25 protection. But if you apply only half as much you’ll get half the protection (so SPF 12.5) and so on — applying 0.5 mg to each square centimetre of skin will give you a quarter of the protection, ie an SPF of 6.2 and so on.

To work out exactly how much sun protection my make-up is giving me, I  would need to measure the area of my face in square centimetres, then accurately measure how much product I am applying.

So to recap for than Foundation with an SPF of 25 i would actually need to apply 828 mg every day, now were pretty sure most people don’t apply anywhere near that amount and why would you want to anyway your skin would feel and look  be terrible. Considering if you apply sunscreen every two hours you know  your skin is protected with out   suffocating your skin .

So don’t rely on your make up to protect you from the sun make sure you wear your normal sunscreen as well.

We hope you found The facts about cosmetics and sunscreen  as interesting as we did.

Summer beauty tips

Summer beauty tips for everyone

Summer beauty tips that you need to know this summer

In today’s blog we are going to tell you about some much neededSummer beauty tips.

So summer is here and we are actually seeing some lovely warm weather but as we don’t always have this nice weather we need to prepare for it with some must know beauty tips.

• Our feet are on show in the summer so make sure you look after them, try wearing padded sole sandals and be sure to exfoliate and moisturise them, if needed also rasp your heels to keep them soft  but make sure you use a gentle file rasp not a harsh metal one and don’t over do it.  If you do find yourself with sore painful soles then beeswax and calendula have been said to soothe them.  Also having regular pedicures throughout  the summer will most definitely help keep your feet summer ready.
• You will most certainly be getting rid of unwanted hair more in the summer but make sure that you are exfoliating before shaving to avoid ingrown hairs.  Check out our blog on ingrown hairs for more information.
• You should always protect your skin throughout the year but being extra careful in the summer to protect it is very important, always wear a foundation with an SPF of at least 15 and apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30 regularly throughout the day, its no good doing it in the morning and then not bothering as you will not stay protected.
•  Your lips also need protecting, its easy to forget but you will certainly remember when they are sore and blistered, so wear a protective lip balm.
• Waterproof make up is a must have in the summer, especially if you are going to the beach or pool, better still if you can go without or very little make up throughout the summer then this is a great too as you will hopefully have a natural glow from the sun anyway and maybe just a little waterproof mascara and a bit of lip gloss should be all you need.

So there we are some Summer beauty tips so now just enjoy your summer.
