The 8-Step Perfect Manicure

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.

Beauty Solutions for Aged People For Skin Care

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.
