Avoid taking tea, oils, spices and other hot products. One of the main factors for black circles under the eyes is the deficiency of iron and calcium. Hence take iron and calcium rich diet. For 2 to 3 weeks you should apply cucumber juice with cotton on the black circles. Tiredness is one of the prominent reasons of such dark circles. So if you want to avoid them stop worrying and start being happy! Also take proper sleep and give rest to your precious eyes before they are tired.

Eye exercise is necessary for proper care if it. Computer professionals should blink their eyes frequently as an exercise of the eyes. You should also rotate your eyes from right to left and left to right and up down. This will maintain blood flow around your eyes smoothly. Good blood circulation is necessary for any organ of your body to stay healthy.

Healthy food is compulsory for sparkling and healthy eyes. Vitamin A is very essential for healthy eyes. Deficiency of Vitamin A can cause you many eye diseases. Carrot is very rich in vitamin A; it gives you good vision. You should eat carrot regularly.

Vegetables rich in carotene are very good for eyes. Papaya and spinach fall in this category. You can eat even mango for good eyesight. Drumstick too is very beneficial for beautiful eyes.

Water plays great role in maintaining good health of your eyes.  You should drink 10 to 12 glasses of water everyday. If you are an athlete or sportsperson, you need to drink more water. Water hydrates your body and eventually your eyes sparkle. You should also splash cold water frequently to allow your eyes relax.

If you are concerned about your age beauty then you would surely prevent puffy eyes. For this cut potato and place on your closed eyes and let it stay there for few minutes. Thereafter wash your face with plain water. You will see a great difference.

Facts You Should Know About Oily Skin

Jan 25

Posted by suntuu in Beauty Solutions | No Comments

It is important to know the reason behind oily skin. Excessive production of sebum causes oily skin. This causes clogging of pores and accumulation of dead cells which causes acne or pimples formation.

Therefore the fact behind oily skin care is to remove surplus sebum. However, the cleansing should not remove all the oil. Normally, cleansing of the oily skin should be carried out at least twice a day and in hot and humid conditions it should be even more frequent. However the cleansing should not be too frequent as it can make the skin too dry and as a rebound action the skin produces more oil. The cleanser to be used should contain salicylic acid as it slows down the production of sebum.

Generally, the products for oily skin are oil free. However one should check for the contents of the product. For minimally oily skin the products labeled as “suitable for all skin types” can be used but for extremely oily skin the products especially for oily skin should be used. The toners for oily skin are alcohol based however; toner should not be excessively used as it can harm the skin.

Moisturizers for oily skin may or may not be required. For too much oily skin moisturizer may not be required. If moisturizer has to be used then it should be oil free, lipid free and wax free. Clay mask can be used once in a week.

Individuals of oily skin should avoid used of creams, lotions and ointments in general. The skin care and beauty products if at all they are to be used they should be oil free.

Oily, greasy and fried foods like French fries should be avoided. Cheese containing foods like pizzas and fast foods also should be avoided by individuals of oily skin. Individuals having oily skin should avoid walking through restaurant and fast food kitchens and dirty subways.

A well balanced diet, drinking plenty of water, regular physical exercise, control over sun exposure and learning stress relaxation are good for health of skin in general.

Suitable products can be chosen only after trying a few. Over the counter vitamin A products are useful for oily skin care. Prescription products containing sulfur and retinoid are also available. If the oiliness can not be controlled after using these products then consulting a dermatologist is better.

Eyes are the most attractive and most noticed feature in the face. They are expressive, they express feelings and therefore they always look appealing and therefore also called the windows to the soul.

A properly done make up helps in enhancing natural beauty and the neat looks make the person more confident. Make up for eyes involves many steps and properly done eye make up adds a lot to the face.

A good quality under eye concealer can be used to cover the dark circles. This should be one shade lighter than the foundation to be used. Three dots of concealer should be placed below the eye and from inside out the concealer should be applied till the color blends with that of the skin. Oil based concealers should not be used because they tend to settle down in the lines below the eyes and make the circles evident.

The eye shadow is also an important thing in eye make up, it enhances the charm of the eyes. The color of he eye shadow should not match with the color of the eyes but it should be balancing. The color of the eye shadow should be such that it should match with the skin tone. The eye color and the lip color should go along. They are available in matted, semi-matted and powdered form. For eyelids medium tone is good and a lighter is good for highlighting. Cream eye shadows can cause creasing but can be used on neutral powder shadow. Eye shadow should be applied in sweeping motion along the eye lid.

Eyeliners are available in pencil and liquid form and one should chose that one with which she is comfortable. The eyeliner can be applied only to the top lid or both the lids. The liner should be applied to the top lid first and the eye line too the top lid should be heaviest possible. The eye liner should be used from inside corner of the eye, along the eye lashes and across the border of the eye. The eye liner should not be used on only the outside part of the eye; it makes the eye look smaller than it is. The eye liner should not be applied beyond the corner of the eye.

Finally the mascara can be applied on the eyelashes. Thick layer of mascara should be applied and second layer should be applied only after drying the first one completely.

Apart from make up diet rich in vitamin A and C is good for beautiful eyes.
