What are Milia?

Today we are looking at What are Milia?

Have you ever wondered What are Milia?

What are Milia? Milia, are also known as milk spots, which are little white or yellowish bumps that commonly appear around and under the eyes. They can also appear on the nose, cheeks, forehead and chest.
But what causes Miilia? Basically, milia are keratin-filled cysts they are quite common in newborn babies (but quite often disappear after a few weeks), but can affect people of all ages, and may persist for months, even years.
A form of milia called secondary milia can develop after damage to the skin such as from sunburn, blistering disorders, or even long-term sun exposure.

Milia are formed when the top layer of skin does not shed normally but instead becomes trapped in a tiny pocket on the surface of the skin. This is similar to how some acne forms, but milia are not inflamed like acne, and treating milia with acne therapies will only irritate the skin.  Although Milia cysts are generally not itchy or painful.

If the Milia is a  secondary form then they be hard to get rid of. Here are a couple of home remedies you can try before going down the medical route:

Facial Sauna
A facial sauna (in other words steaming your face)  this will help as it unclogs the  pores which helps loosen and remove dead skin cells and debris.

Soak a clean towel in hot water and wring out the excess water. Place the towel on your face for a few minutes and then remove it. Repeat a couple of times. Do this daily for about a week or a little more.
Alternatively, you can steam your face for 10 to 15 minutes daily until the condition clears.

Facial Scrubs

Home made scrubs will also help a good one to try is this one:

Pomegranate Peel Powder
Roasted  pomegranate are  have antioxidant and exfoliating properties. Being rich in vitamin C, it is also good for your skin. It will also help soothe acne and pimples.Roast some pomegranate peels until they become dark brown and brittle, and then crush them into a powder.
Add a little lemon juice or rose water to two tablespoons of the powder to make a paste.
Gently rub it on your face. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing it off.
Follow this remedy a few times a week until the bumps disappear

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has soothing, healing, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that  can help treat. Massage the affected area with fresh succulent gel extracted from an aloe vera leaf. Leave it on overnight and rinse it  off in the morning.  It is recommend that you do this  twice daily until the bumps disappear. It usually shows positive results within a few days.
You can also apply a combination of equal parts of aloe vera gel and green tea. Leave it on for about 15 minutes and then rinse it off.

Beauty Tip 4 U :Different makeup brushes and what to do with them

Birthstone beauty

Birthstone beauty looks

Which is your Birthstone beauty look

Just for a bit of fun we thought we would take a look at yourBirthstone beauty today.  See which makeup look is best suited to your birthstone.

January- Garnet:  Oxblood cheeks

Garnet blush is a stunning way to add some colour to your face and add some definition and contour action to your cheekbones.  Any type of contouring is a good idea.

February- Amethyst: Purple mascara

This may seem like a bold move but bright violet belongs on your lashes.

March- Aquamarine: Baby blue lids

Soft blue is your signature colour and actually makes for an ideal eyeshadow too. Just remember to keep it subtle.

April- Diamond: Silver eyeliner

Add some pretty sparkle to your makeup look with a little silver eyeliner. This subtle upgrade will definitely make your eyes stand out.

May- Emerald: Green smokey eyes

Simply swap your traditional charcoal smoky eye look for a deep, green tone instead. This will really compliment your eyes.

June- Pearl: White shimmer shadow

Pearl is not the easiest colour to translate to makeup, but there is a way. A winter white makeup look is surprisingly lovely and feminine.  Just don’t go overboard with the shadow.

July- Ruby: Red Ombre Lips

Ruby red lips are always a good idea. To create this look, mix another colour with it.  A cool ombré lip is all the rage this season.

August- Peridot: Lime green shadow

If you were born in August your colour is one of the brightest of the bunch. Get a little funky with your makeup and try this edgy lime green liner look.

September- Sapphire: Bright blue lids

You have one of the most stunning birthstones.  Bright blue lids may seem a bit scary but we think it’s totally chic and totally bold, so take a risk and we are sure you will like it.

October- Opal: Shimmery skin

We think the best way to channel this stone’s shimmery finish is to emulate it on your skin. So, pick up your trusty highlighter and start strobing.

November- Topaz: bronze skin

We love the golden, honey-coloured hue of topaz. There are lots of ways to work this shade into your makeup routine. However, the best way to imitate this stone’s glow is to let your skin do some glowing of its own. Get yourself a tan, shimmery bronzer and dust a little on the face to get that true topaz finish.  

December- Tanzanite: Blue lips

Take a walk on the wild side and try a fun deep blue or dark purple lip. It’s perfect for the autumn and it shows you like to mix up your look a bit.

We hope you have fun trying out your Birthstone beauty tip today.

Tips for dry skin

Some Tips for dry skin

Let’s take a look at Tips for dry skin today

In today’s blog we are going to give you some Tips for dry skin.  As we approach the winter months, dry skin sufferers will know only too well that it’s time to pull out all the stops to try and combat their dry skin.

• You should not take really hot showers or baths as hot water is just as bad as cold air when it comes to drying out your skin.
• Do not overload your skin with products.  Two products is enough, any more than this could cause irritation.
• Washing too often with soap is definitely going to dry your skin further.  Also dry and irritated skin is much more susceptible to bacterial infection, because excessive washing strips it of its protective, natural bacteria.
• Never apply your makeup without popping on some moisturiser first.  Also,unfortunately, it is best to steer clear of foundation, as it blocks your pores and messes with sebum production.
• Try not to sit too close to the fireplace or heaters or anything that gives off heat as this will dry your skin out more.
• Do not use harsh scrubs. Exfoliation works to remove dead skin cells and this will help the moisturiser to penetrate the skin. Use a gentler scrub as if it’s too harsh it can dry the skin out.
• Before shaving your legs, make sure your razor is sharp enough as if it is not then it may dry your skin.
• Don’t leave your heating on all of the time as this is not good for your skin.  You may need to use a humidifier to put the moisture back into your home.
• If your skin on your face is dry, use cold mineral water to wash or, even better, clean your face with an alcohol-free cleansing lotion.   Try not to wash with tap water as it often contains chlorine, fluoride, and other undesirable chemicals. So go for the natural ingredients.
• A good way to prevent dry skin is to augment your diet with essential oils contained in raw organic butter, cod liver oil, Omega-3 eggs, coconut oil and fresh cold-water fish.
