The time of year is here for us to look at  Spring and Summer make up trends for 2014

Spring and Summer make up trends for 2014 are here

The hottest Spring and Summer make up trends for 2014 are very colourful this season.

Lips  -Put away your collection of reds and pinks, as  the new red is orange for this season. The shade is super saturated and beckons the warmer months with a warm luscious lips.

Face  -  Pull out that sun kissed bronzer  as a  radiant complexion is always on trend. Warm, healthy skin that looks sunkissed is the hottest and most understated way to greet spring. Give skin a seemingly effortless and natural glow.

Ironically the biggest makeup trend for Spring/Summer 2014 is for little or no makeup. As we don’t all have flawless skin his look is about well-conditioned skin. and a good skin routine.

Eyes -

Eyeliner -now here there is arrange of trends from graphic  cat eyes  or winged liner, or you can mix it up and add white, yes you heard white liner is back this time you an wear it on the top liner and bottom, and even on the lids not sure you should wear it on all three it the same time you might look a bit weird.

Eyeshadow -Blues are here to stay well for  a while longer at least but this time you can go  as you like this season. It’s a continuation from 2013 when the trend returned, but this season there’s something for everyone from subtle liner to blocks of shadow.

 If Orchid, lilac and lavender shades are invading your makeup bags. Thats because the next trend is purples but you don’t have to wear this on your eyes you can add it to your lip or nails to complement your make up.

Lashes – now this next bit might seem a bit odd but the trend for lashes to  have False lashes top AND bottom. Yes the modern 60′s look doesn’t require you to pull your eye lashes out and then draw them in, but just add false lashes to the top and bottom .

Eyebrows – now this next one we just don’t get at all but i guess someone must like it otherwise it wouldn’t still be here. Schoolboy brows! – basically untidy unkept eyebrows with no shape man brows we are going to call them  man brows never mind school boy hopefully the arch will reappear soon.

And that brings us to close on  Spring and Summer make up trends for 2014

What do our spots on our face mean

Most of us get them but What do our spots on our face mean

Today we are going to try and answer this question What do our spots on our face mean

Most people suffer with spots at some time in their lives, as teenagers or adults but What do our spots on our face mean.

Forehead spots- Experts believe that your forehead is the area that reveals how well your body is eliminating toxins. It is said that the top part is related to the bladder, the middle is digestion and the lower part, which runs between your eyebrows is related to your liver so you may find that you get spots here just after a night out.

Spots in and around your eyebrows or on your temples relate to the adrenal glands which sit on top of your kidneys and stress can be a cause of these but exercise can help with stress so try that to help keep those spots at bay.

Spots around your mouth- Small spots around your mouth that look red and lumpy could be perioral dermatitis which is quite common, the cause is for this is unknown but it may mean you need to eliminate products you have been using on the face.

Perioral dermatitis is often mistaken for eczema and therefore people try using over the counter eczema creams which just make the spots worse. One of the common symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is acne which affects 1 in 10 women, particularly around the mouth and chin. It is advised that you see your GP if you suspect you maybe suffering from PCOS.

Cheek spots- In Chinese medicine the cheeks are related to the lungs, so if you suffer with regular colds, flu and asthma you may get outbreaks or irregularities in skin tone and texture on your cheeks. Another cause is rosacea which is extremely common in fair-haired people and can look very similar to acne so many people are misdiagnosed.

Drinking alcohol, eating spicy food and caffeine have been associated with rosacea, as they are inflammatory.  If the spots are flaky, it may be seborrheic dermatitis which can look similar but can also occur in the middle of your chest and in your armpits, it is always best to see your GP if you are worried.

Spots on your chin & upper lip area- Spots usually appear on either side of your chin and on your upper lip at different stages in your menstrual cycle, these are linked to your hormones. It has been said that you can possibly tell which ovary (left or right) you are ovulating from according to which side of your chin breaks out.

There are over the counter remedies and specialist skincare treatments that can help with these type of spots, plus certain brands of contraceptive pill can help reduce outbreaks here.

So we hope we have answered the question What do our spots on our face mean.

Lash-Enhancing Serums

Everyone seem to be buying them but  Lash-Enhancing Serums

Today we are gong to be look at Lash-Enhancing Serums

If you have  been awe by a colleague’s remarkably long eyelashes  it might be because she’s using a lash serum but  how good  are Lash-Enhancing Serums

Luscious, lustrous, thick, dark eyelashes are the envy of women all over the world. The longer and thicker your eyelashes, the bigger and brighter your eyes look no mention younger you look. It is  no a surprise that products that promise to enhance or stimulate eyelash growth are flooding the market.  Although you have lots of products from which to choose.  which of course some work, some don’t  most are expensive.

But what is in the magic  serum, well  some of the ingredients are similar to ones used in glaucoma drugs. In fact one of the side effect to glaucoma medicine is long lashes, ( we wouldn’t call that a side effect lol).But are these products safe to be used on non glaucoma stuffers?

One of the companies that makes lash serums did a study to see if there was any negative side effects. After the study although they some saw some  dramatic results  there were no problems, there is however a very small risk from these Lash serums that is could cause  a darkening of light irises, though so far this side effect has been observed only in patients using glaucoma drugs (drops placed directly in the eye). A slight change in pigmentation of the skin along the lashline is also a possibility. but otherwise they seem to get the all clear.

Just a quick note to finish with,you will only notice eyelash growth after two to four months of daily  use with lash serums. Some claim to be quicker but you need to remember that it takes up to 8 weeks for your lashes to replenish  them selves, and if stop using the serum your lashes will return to their prior appearance in four to six week. Nothing that we  artificaly add to the body will change it permanently unless its surgery.

So there you go yes lots of Lash-Enhancing Serums work and they seem safe

What wrinkles mean

We are now looking into What wrinkles mean

So today we move onto What wrinkles mean

Yesterday we looked at how wrinkles form and now today we move onto What wrinkles mean.

As we get older and get wrinkles we generally want to avoid them as much as possible.  Cutting down on alcohol, protecting ourselves in the sun and not smoking will help keep wrinkles away.

These things are helpful to avoid wrinkles but have you ever thought that your wrinkles may be saying something about your health.

Research has discovered that facial wrinkles are connected to the aging of our brain.  Studies have shown the more wrinkle that we have the more impact it has on the aging of our brain.  Further research has found that looking at the state of our skin can tell alot about the health of our brain.  The rate our brain ages depends on external factors and genetics.  Hormones play an important role in keeping our brain and skin healthy, having a deficiency in certain hormones can be linked to varies forms of cognitive impairment and dementia.

By not using sunscreen we disturb our immune system which triggers inflammation which damages the skin and ages the brain, remember that the skin and brain cells come from the same embryonic tissue which is why they age at the same rate.  However physical and mental exercises can be used to keep our brain and skin healthy.  It is advised that you should try to avoid toxins, stress and alcohol, this will slow the effect of aging not just our skin but our brains as well.

We will be looking at more health issues connected to What wrinkles mean  in future blogs.

If you are worried about wrinkles hopefully after you read about  How wrinkles form you will feel better about it.

All wrinkles are not the same and we are going explain How wrinkles form  and how to slow the process down.

Some wrinkles are age related, while others are caused by dehydration, environmental factors, or lifestyle.

Facial Expression Lines

Expression lines are caused by your emotions. Every time you make a facial expression,  your muscles just below the surface of the skin contract and pull down. Over time, as skin loses its elasticity,  and expression lines form. They’re the deepest kind of wrinkle and the toughest to treat. ( but we don’t suggest you stop laughing because being happy is more important than having  wrinkles)

Every woman should have the correct  cleansing ,toning and moisturising  products for their skin type.These will work together to help keep skin healthy and young looking. You can use an anti-aging products which penetrate the surface of your skin to diminish the appearance of expression lines.
