AGED BEAUTY

Beauty and aging

Growing old is something that everybody experiences. It affects some of us more than other, and it effects us all in different ways. For some people it is just a minor inconvenience, another part of life. For others, it causes them a lot of panic and grief. One of the most devastating effects of aging is your beauty fading. For some people beauty is the quality they are most proud of, and it is heart breaking for them to let go of it.
It is a long change to get used to. Unlike some other changes, beauty is one that happens gradually over a long period of time. Every day you can see a different blemish. It is hard looking in the mirror everyday and notice a new wrinkle or mark that wasn’t there yesterday. It often reminds people of their mortality and how they won’t live forever. It is a long and hard path before people learn how to cope with it.
One of the ways for people to learn to accept it is to realize that it happens to everybody. A major step in getting past it is to stop comparing your beauty to somebody that is ten, twenty, or even thirty years younger than you. Instead of that, you should consider what I like to call your age beauty. Your age beauty is your beauty factoring in your age. That way instead of comparing yourself to when you were young, you will look at yourself like someone that is older. Age beauty is a mentality that can really help some vain people feel better about them.
The one thing that is better than that is to understand that you are beautiful for who you are. To someone that loves you, you are the most beautiful person in the world. Losing your beauty can provide you with a very important lesson on changing people on their character, not their looks. Sorry for being cliché, but basically you don’t judge a book by its cover.
Once you have accepted that your beauty has faded, you can start appreciating other things in life. You can start being thankful for all the good things that happened in your life. Accepting how you age will make you a happier person. Some people are fighting for their lives against the likes of illness and cancer and you are just dealing with not being as gorgeous. You need to think of it like that to be more thankful for what you have.
As you age you go through changes and fading beauty is just another one of them. In the end all of these changes aren’t really affecting the big picture and they will make you a better person for it. Life is all about accepting things that you can’t change, and it is your responsibility to make the best out of the situation. Your life is in your own hands; you shape your own life, not something as petty as looks.

6 Makeup Emergencies and how to fight them up

suntuu — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:35:52 +0000

Eyeliner Won’t Stay On
For eyeliner that goes on darker and stays on longer, eye drops will do the trick. Add a little eye redness reliever to cake liner or powdered eye shadow and then apply along the lid with an angled brush.You get a perfectly smooth line
that will last all night.

Big Under-Eye Circles
Apply a concealer at least a half-shade lighter than your skin tone. Use it after applying your foundation. Mix a bit of blue eye shadow with moisturizer. Follow with foundation.

No Makeup Remover
If you’ve run out of makeup remover, use olive oil. In the beauty industry, extra-virgin olive oil is preferred. It doesn’t clog pores or cause breakouts.

Clumped Mascara
Dip a cotton swab in makeup remover and then squeeze until it’s almost dry. Go over lashes with the swab to remove any excess. A folded tissue placed under lower lashes will catch anything. Comb lashes while they’re damp, and then blink against a tissue to blot excess as well as guard against smudges

Over-Blushed
If instead of getting a rosy glow you ended up looking like a clown, then simply take a big fluffy powder puff and press it onto your cheeks to lift excess color away.Take another clean puff, and apply a layer of loose powder on top.

Day-to-Evening Makeup in Minutes
Go deeper with your lips. First, line your lip with a lip liner, matching your lipstick, and apply lipstick.
Finish with a neutral pencil to fill the outer rim of the lips.

To make eyelashes appear longer, apply a coat of mascara and then use a cotton swab to dust the lashes with loose powder; add a second coat of mascara.

Create a smoky eye with petroleum jelly. Line the top and bottom lash lines with a dark pencil. Put a thin layer of petroleum jelly over the lid and blink, and you’ll have the desired smudged look.

9 Skin Emergencies and how to fight them up

suntuu — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:23:03 +0000

Emerging Pimple
To stop redness and swelling in an emergency situation (job interview, reunion, wedding), ask your doctor for a cortisone injection. It calms down a pimple almost instantly. If you can’t get to your dermatologist, you can reduce redness and swelling by dabbing on a drop of drugstore cortisone cream hemorrhoid cream, or eye drops.

overnight treatment
Rub ice on an emerging pimple for 30 to 40 seconds. Apply clove oil and leave it on until it dries completely.

tea tree oil
Massage a touch of tee tree oil around the area of the pimple to anesthetize it and encourage healing. Use a nonliquid concealer to match your foundation. Dab a little on the blemish, wait a couple of seconds, then blend lightly with a fingertip. Dust with loose powder.

Acne Rash
Take yellow eye shadow and mix it with your concealer. Apply it to the area and allow to dry. Then cover with your regular foundation. Even it out by gently blotting your face with a separated tissue.

Puffy Eyes
Take some cold spoons and place them under the eye area. Simply run them under cold water for a few seconds, or even better, keep them in the freezer so they’ll be ready when it’s the “morning after” or when you just didn’t get enough sleep.

Body Chafing
If there’s no medicated powder around, use a little cornstarch. It contains fabulous absorbing powers, and you may find it even more effective.

Chapped Lips
Rub on a little petroleum jelly, then use a toothbrush to brush your lips in little circular motions.The toothbrush will exfoliate the dead skin while the petroleum jelly will provide a base so your lipstick glides on.

Cold Sore
There are medications for cold sores and fever blisters. If you don’t have any on hand, take an aspirin and apply it, slightly dampened, to the sore. Hold it there for at least three minutes. Keep the sore and its surrounding area clean and dry to fight bacteria.
Eat a bland diet, avoiding chocolate, nuts, or gelatinbased products. These foods may irritate the sore and cause further infection.

Excess Self-Tanner
Soak in a warm bath for about 20 minutes using baking soda as body scrub.

Bad Sunburn
Take an aspirin to reduce the inflammation. Bathe in a tub of vinegar and warmwater (use about a pint of vinegar).
Moisturize the skin with yogurt or nonfat milk.

Fragrance Overload
Swab the skin with an alcohol-soaked cotton pad. Then smooth on unscented lotion to remoisturize and help diffuse the fragrance even further.

Anti-Aging Rule #1
Update your makeup the way you update your wardrobe. The same applies to your hair color
and style.
Anti-Aging Rule #2

Try to sleep in total darkness.

Anti-Aging Rule #3
Eat and drink with a plan. Make every calorie work for your good health and beauty.

Anti-Aging Rule #4
Lighten up! Don’t obsess over every wrinkle and sag. You can fight aging but you can’t eliminate it.

Anti-Aging Rule #5
Age with grace and style and you’ll always remain youthful.

Face Masks to Try for Skin Care

suntuu — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:23:43 +0000

Ultimate Cleansing Mask
In a blender or food processor, grind 1 cup of oatmeal to a powder. Add 3 drops of almond oil, 1/2 cup of milk, and 1 egg white. Continue to blend together, and apply. Rinse off after 20 minutes.

Peach and Brandy
Mash up a peach (use ripe, canned, or frozen) and mix in a tablespoon of brandy. Leave it on for 20 minutes, and rinse off.

Tomato Mask
For oily skin,mash up a ripe tomato and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse with warm (not hot) water.

Banana Mask
Mash up a very ripe banana. Add just enough honey to make a soft pulp.Apply over face and hair.This is such a great firming mask that aging movie stars have been known to put it in the cups of their bras to make their breasts “perky.”
Just make sure that you don’t add too much honey, and that you use a sturdy bra. I recently did a TV show where I attempted to use a lacy bra. Needless to say, it was a little messy!

Honey Mask
Apply pure honey (straight from the bottle) to your face and neck. Allow it to set until dry (about 15 minutes). Rinse with very warm water.

Milk of Magnesia
Oil-Absorbing Mask
Apply it straight from the bottle. Let it dry for about five to ten minutes. Rinse off with warm water.
Gently pat face dry with fluffy towel.

Pepto-Bismol

This is a face mask particularly suited for those with sensitive skin. In the same way that this product coats the stomach, it gently caresses the face. Apply it straight from the bottle with a cotton swab.
Allow it to dry and rinse with cool water. It’s as refreshing as a cool summer breeze.

The 8-Step Perfect Manicure

suntuu — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:50:10 +0000

1. File
Using an emery board, file nails straight up at the sides. Don’t file sides of nails inward. The thinner your nail, the finer the emery board should be.

2. Cuticles
Apply cuticle softener to the edges of the nail. Massage gently with fingertips. If cuticles are very brittle, warm the softener in the microwave for a few seconds before applying.

3. Soak
Soak fingers in warm, soapy water. If fingers are discolored or dirty, take a tablet of denture cleanser and dissolve it in the water, or add a lime bleach.

4.Trim
Using a cuticle pusher/cutter (available at drugstores), push the cuticle back, and cut any excess hangnails. Don’t cut in to your cuticle, because it will cause it to bleed.

5. Massage
Apply a moisturizer all over the hands, rubbing into the nails and cuticles. Distress by massaging the inside palm with your thumb.

6.Wipe
Dip a cotton ball in an astringent (like witch hazel or lemon juice), and remove any excess oil.This is necessary to allow polish to go on smoothly without bubbling.

7. Base Coat
Apply a base coat or primer, and allow to dry.

8. Final Coat
Brush on a one-coat polish. Look for the kind that contains both a color and top coat. It’s just as good and a great time-saver.

Strenth training to fight aging

suntuu — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:16:40 +0000

One of the most important ways to fight aging is with exercise. Even if you can’t get into a total exercise program, you need to combine aerobic exercise with strength training to win the fight. It’s not necessary to join an expensive gym.You can get your heart pumping and increase your oxygen intake by taking the dog for a run, walking briskly
to get your favorite coffee, gardening, or heavy housework. If you can sprint/run or jump rope, you will be building your muscles while building cardiovascular endurance.Your increased heart and lung performance will result in increased blood flow to the skin and resulting radiance.

Strength Training
Strength training will give muscles more shape and
keep skin tighter. It will also help relieve arthritic
symptoms, increase bone density, improve posture,
prevent lower back pain, and help raise metabolic
rate. Free weights are inexpensive too. Start with
five-pound weights and try to work up to ten-pound
weights.You can even make your own with a two liter
bottle of soda filled with salt or sand.

Simple Ways to Resist Aging

suntuu — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 03:30:24 +0000

By cutting down or avoiding the following, you can
help your skin to look younger a lot longer.

The Sun
It’s the number one reason why our skin ages.Wear
sunscreen at all times, and don’t forget protective
clothing. Don’t forget that the scalp also needs to be
protected from the sun.

Smoking
Early wrinkling occurs due to reduced levels of the
oxygen needed to keep skin healthy. Smoking is the
prime source of oxygen deprivation. Drinking lots
of water will help counteract this.

Alcohol
In excess, alcohol dehydrates the body and robs it of
vitamins that keep skin both healthy and glowing.
Never have an alcoholic drink without a chaser of ice
water. It will detoxify the body and moderate the
amount of alcohol intake.

Improper Nutrition
The modern-day use of convenience foods encourages
the formation of free radicals. These foods are
high in processed fats and oils. Protection of the skin
is possible by eating foods rich in vitamins A, C, and
E. Fresh fruits and vegetables are particularly good
for keeping the skin youthful. Supplementation may
be necessary if you’re not getting these nutrients in
your foods.

Stress
Stress causes the skin to become sensitive and prone
to breakouts. Regular exercise and meditation will
help diffuse its effects.

Beauty Solutions for Aged People For Skin Care

suntuu — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:07:23 +0000

The skin becomes more sensitive in old age; hence it demands a lot of care and attention. Menopause normally happens gradually between 45 and 55 years of age. After menopause the amount of estrogen produced by a woman slows down dramatically. As a result changes occur in the skin, which is highly sensitive to estrogen. Older people have to deal with the normal aging process of the skin. In aged women and men, the skin dries and thins because the sebaceous glands slow down and even gathers pace. The elastin fibers lose their structure, the dermis becomes less resilient, and the skin becomes wrinkled and sags. It is never too late to take care of the skin, no matter of what age group you belong to.

Here are some beauty solutions for improving your age beauty with proper skin care.

As you grow older, the skin becomes dry. You must exfoliate the skin. This will remove dead skin cells. The cell division will increase and will perform more youthfully. If you use almond scrub and tap the skin then also the cell division will increase.

Apply face pack once a week. This will prove to be very beneficial. Take a teaspoon of whipped cream, a few drops of lavender oil and a pinch of alum. Mix them together and apply this mixture. Leave it for about 20 minutes and then rinse with lukewarm water.

If you want to enhance your age beauty then mix a few drops of patchouli oil with almond oil and apply it day and night and then use a moisturizer. Regularly clean your face with some mild soap twice or thrice a day. You should take care of your skin by keeping it always clean. You should wash your feet, armpits etc with water and soap taking proper care. Bathing regularly is necessary for healthy skin.

Keep your skin hydrated by drinking lot of water and fruit juice. When your skin gets dehydrated it becomes dry and cracks. In order to maintain its elasticity you should drink more than 8 glasses of water per day.

Aged people get more prone to feet problems. They get problems like corns, warts, fungal infection, blisters etc. You should consult doctor for such things. However what you can do at home is cleaning your feet with warm water. Remember to wash your nails properly!

In Rainy season you need to take more care of your skin because you get muddy water on your feet which contain germs. Your skin thus gets infected. You should wash it with some antiseptic in water.

If you want to shine with your age beauty then prevent your skin from sun burning. For this avoid getting out in heavy sunlight. If you get exposed to sun when the sun is on the top your skin is likely to burn or get dark. To protect your skin from sunburn, you should apply some lotion and were hat, use umbrella etc.

Skin is very sensitive organ. Don’t itch it if you feel like itching. Itching spoils the beauty of your skin. Massage your skin with Vitamin E oil. Vitamin E is vital for skin.
