351: Nail Care Concerns
Nail care
products can often mislead people into thinking that these are miracle
products that can solve all nail problems.
There is a
lot of debate regarding the use of nail hardeners. Though a nail hardener
can be an effective solution to end nail breakage, splits and cracking.

good. The use of a nail hardener may result in dryer nails that are more
prone to breakage.

Makeup Removal Tips
When it
comes to makeup removal, it's best to comb your hair away from your face
first and then secure it with a headband or clip.
You can
also just pull it backwards and secure it with a ponytail. Start with your
eyes. Moisten a ball of cotton with eye make up remover and then delicately
wipe your eye area.
Use a new
cotton ball and a good cleanser for the rest of your face.
Tip 353:
Makeup Removal - Use the Right Cleanser
When it
comes to makeup removal, ensure that you are using a cleanser that is suited
to your skin type. This will prevent any allergic reactions from your skin
or cause it to dry.
Many people
use ordinary soap to rid their faces of makeup but many are not equipped to
thoroughly clean your skin of makeup.
It would be
wise to check the packaging of the cleanser or soap to see if it is suited
for makeup removal.
Tip 354:
Makeup Removal and Lukewarm Water
Did you
know that when it comes to makeup removal, the best way to begin the
procedure is to wash your face first with lukewarm water?
Lukewarm
water provides the best temperature for lathering up and breaking down make
up on your face. So the next time you think you should just sit down and
start cleansing your face, you should actually go to the bathroom or kitchen
sink and splash your face first with lukewarm water.
Tip 355:
Makeup Removal Proper Cleansing Habits
Apart from
ensuring that you are using the right facial cleanser, the way you cleanse
your face also aids (or deters) makeup removal.

cleanser, put a pea-size amount on your hand and rub your hands together to
make a rich lather before you put it on your face. Add water if the cleanser
is too thick'.
Apply the
lathered up' cleanser on your face and then rub it gently over your entire
face.
Tip 356:
Makeup Removal Don’t Rush

a great lather of from your facial cleanser before you start cleansing your
face.
Apply the
rich lather to your face and then take your time rubbing your face,
concentrating on the areas where you have makeup on.
Wash your
face several times to ensure it is free of the cleanser and then pat your
face dry. Don't rub it dry so that your skin is not irritated.

done!

Eye Brow Waxing Ouch!
Here's a
way to get rid of wayward eye brow hair, and it's inexpensive too. Many
women in Asia use thread, yes, simple thread, to strip' unwanted hair on
their face.
Just get a
string of cotton thread, twist it and pull it along the area of unwanted
hair. Ouch! Make no mistake it IS a tad painful and it is best administered
by somebody you trust as you can't possibly do it yourself (not the first
time anyway).

just annoyed when you have upper lip hair! It sort of makes you less
feminine doesn't it? Well, fret no more because there are plenty of hair
removal cosmetics out there in the market today.

sure to use one that is suited for facial hair removal. Follow the

Lip Care - Achieve Fuller Lips with a Sponge'
For those
who have thin lips, it's best if you first line your lips with a pencil and
then put on lipstick. Use a special sponge applicator to blot the lipstick
over your lips.
Another
trick is to use petroleum jelly or lip gloss. The added 'shine' will make
your lips look fuller.
If you want
your lips to look sexier or fuller for a night's out, dab lip gloss at the
center of your upper lip.
Tip 362:
Lip Care - Perfectly Shaped Lips
Not all
females are created equal. If you have irregularly-shaped lips, balance it
out using different shades of the same lipstick tube.
Use the
lighter lipstick color on the smaller-sized lip and a darker colored
lipstick on the slightly larger lip. You can also use some eye shadow color
to further camouflage' your lips.
It is also
important to delicately rub a washcloth over your lips. This should be done
before applying lipstick to smoothen out your lips.
Tip 363:
Hiding Facial Blemishes
If you have
facial blemishes and wish to hide them during the day (or night), use a
small makeup brush. Dip the brush in your favorite long-lasting concealer or
cream and dab it directly on the blemish on your face.
Use your finger if necessary or dab another layer of concealer. If it
becomes too thick or gooey' on your face, then remove it and start all over.
You wouldn't want to go out with a big blob of concealer on your face!
