Irritated skin from shaving?

How to look after your skin!

We have all shave/ed, it makes our skin nice and smooth however after a few times you might realize your skin is irritated or even a rash! 

I get a rash every time, it's very uncomfortable and itchy!

  (not my photo)

I'm sure we all know what it feels like!

why does this happen?

using a dull blade, using a hard soap, shaving dry, unconditioned skin and just having sensitive skin.

How to take care of it?;

A cold compress is a very effective and easy way to get instant relief from the burning sensation caused by razor burns. It soothes the area and can reduce inflammation. Plus, it will help reduce redness and itching, as well as prevent razor bumps from forming.

Wrap a few ice cubes in a thin towel. Simply place the towel on the affected area for a few minutes.

Alternatively, you can soak a cloth in cold water and place it on the affected area for a few minutes.

Repeat either of these treatments several times a day as needed.

To prevent razor burn, try splashing with cold water on your skin immediately after shaving.

Aspirin is another easy and simple way to get rid of razor burn very quickly. The anti-inflammatory property of aspirin helps reduce redness and inflammation.

1. Put two aspirins in one teaspoon of warm water.
2. Let it sit for some time, until it turns into a paste.
3. Rub the paste on the affected skin.
4. Leave it on for 10 minutes, and then wash it off with lukewarm water.
5. Use this simple treatment twice a day to get rid of the discomfort. It will also help you get rid of razor bumps.

Note: Those with highly sensitive skin should not use this remedy.

Aloe vera is another great choice for soothing razor burn. The soothing as well as cooling nature of aloe vera will give you instant relief from the burning sensation and inflammation. Also, aloe vera will keep the skin moisturized, which speeds up the healing process.

1. Extract fresh aloe vera gel from an aloe vera leaf.
2. Rub the gel on the affected skin.
3. Allow it to dry on its own, and then rinse it off with cold water.
4. Follow this treatment two or three times daily for two to three days.

For men, men shave their face a lot however there's a few great and easy ways to help their sensitive skin!

Look for shaving creams that have a high concentration of lubricants and moisturizers. The best shaving creams create a rich creamy lather and do not foam up like the cheaper drug store brands. The less "foaming" in the shave cream the better, as it is what is in contact with the skin and beard that matters - all else is wasted. You want as much lubrication as possible between your skin and the razor. And, it has to have great "slip" so that the razor will glide smoothly and effortlessly across your skin. The best shave creams also lock the moisture into the whiskers, keeping them soft and upright, primed for the cut. Less resistance, less irritation, less scraping and fewer nicks. The ideal scenario is to leave the shaving cream on your face for at least a minute before you begin cutting, so that the beard is as soft and wet as possible.

Basic foundation tips you never knew!

Foundation

Understand Your  

Skin 

Your skin type should determine what kind of foundation you choose. If you have dry skin, try a liquid or hydrating powder formula, says Michelle Obama's makeup artist, Carl Ray. Use powder or matte products on oily skin. Powder and liquid foundations work well on combination skin.

Find the Right Shade 

When selecting a shade of foundation, pick one that matches your neck,arms and chest rather than your face, it may look a little bit strange at first.

but it will blend down perfectly with your neck and your arms.

Apply it correctly.

Start by covering your face with primer,if your a liquid put a few drops on a sponge or your fingers,then dab the makeup on your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks. From the center of your face blend the makeup into your skin in a downward direction, and work your way out to the edges. Always apply foundation going down so the little hairs on your face lay down pretty!

Hope you enjoyed todays post!

Clothes tips!

We spend most/all our pay on clothes, however not all of us knows how to look after their clothes, you think you need to buy more than you have but in reality you don't need any more!
So there's some tips and tricks for your clothes beauties!

 Double The Layers, Half The Frump

A slimming trick! Just about every girl could use this. Wear a form fitting tank top between your sweater and button-up shirt to keep your mid section from looking frumpy. This is especially helpful if the button-up is a bit baggy, as the tank will press and flatten it against your torso, hiding bunched up fabric and the outlines of the buttons.

 Choosing Necklaces For Necklines

I’ve never really given this much thought, but pairing your jewelry with your neckline certainly makes a difference! Your necklace choice should compliment your outfit; the neckline of your shirt or dress being the most important thing to consider.

Get healthy and gorgeous nails!

Doctor Dos & Don'ts

DON'T SHARE YOUR NAIL FILE

Resist the urge to let anyone — even a relative — use your emery board. This tool is a porous germ-trapper. Keep yours to yourself, and replace it often.

DO WEAR THE RIGHT SHOE SIZE

Are you cramming your feet into too-small or too-pointy shoes? If so, your toenails may grow into the surrounding skin — causing the dreaded ingrown nail, which can lead to pain, swelling, and infection. When nails are too long, tight shoes can cause even more damage, says Mitchel P. Goldman, M.D., an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California, San Diego. "If your toes hit the front of your shoe, nails can crack or turn black-and-blue. Or nails may lift, which can lead to infection."

DO MOISTURIZE DAILY

Nails need to be hydrated, since most problems crop up when they're parched. "Dry nails can crack, peel, and become brittle. Plus, dehydrated cuticles not only look ragged but also can turn into painful and infected hangnails," says Audrey Kunin, M.D., a Kansas City, Missouri, dermatologist. The best moisturizers are thick — even greasy. Try Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Hand Cream.

DON'T GO BAREFOOT

Keep your shoes on while at public places (swimming pools, locker rooms, shoe stores) — if you don't, we won't be responsible for your toenail health. Why worry? "Warm, damp environments are a breeding ground for fungi and viruses," explains Phoebe Rich, M.D., a nail disorders expert and a clinical associate professor of dermatology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland. Tip: If hose isn't offered when you're shoe shopping, ask for it.

TLC to Help Nails Grow

"Everyone has an individual rate at which her nails increase in length, and that can't be changed," says Paul Kechijian, M.D., a nail specialist and a former clinical associate professor of dermatology at New York University. On average, nails gain about one eighth of an inch per month. Their growth can be influenced by hormones (which is why pregnant women's nails grow like crazy) and temperature (more growth in summer than in winter). While most experts agree that there's no single food or pill that will speed nail growth, it's well-known that poor nutrition, infections, and aging can all slow it. "To keep nails healthy, hydrate them and minimize the use of harsh chemicals and tools," says Marsha Gordon, M.D., associate clinical professor of dermatology and vice chairman of the dermatology department at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Help prevent breakage with a hardener like OPI Nail Envy.

The Facts About Fungus

These infections can settle in without your even realizing it. To be on the safe side, says Dr. Rich of Oregon Health & Science University, you should periodically remove any polish and inspect your fingers and toes. "Fungus is contagious and can spread from one nail to another — and even from nails to skin," she explains. "These infections aren't dangerous, but they can be painful and unsightly." What to know:

Causes

Humid places are fungus favorites, which helps explain why sweaty shoes and socks make toes more susceptible than fingers. Fungal nail infections account for about 50 percent of all nail disorders, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Untreated athlete's foot and nail injuries can also make you prone to infection.

Warning Signs

Your nail is thickening, yellowing, crumbling, or lifting from its bed (as if it's about to fall off).

Treatments

The bad news: "Since the infection occurs under the nail plate or in the nail bed, successful treatment will take several months or more," says Dr. Rich, who suggests trying prescription oral medication (like Lamisil). For new or mild cases, a topical medication may help.

Prevention

Wash and dry your feet thoroughly. Keep your shoes on in public places. If your feet sweat a lot, change your socks often.

The Aging Nail

"As you get older, nails grow more slowly, become more brittle, and can also develop vertical ridges," says Dr. Gordon of Mount Sinai School of Medicine. One product that helps: Sally Hansen Age Correct Strength Treatment, left, which reduces breakage by fortifying the nail; it also fills in the ridges, making them less obvious. Buffing can also smooth the surface, but be gentle so you don't thin the nail and leave it even weaker.

Your Top Nail Questions

Q: Can I prevent peeling, breaking and splitting?

A: Exposure to water is most often the culprit here — surprisingly, the more you soak, the drier the nail becomes, weakening over time. Detergents in soaps, household cleansers, and some nail polish removers can also have adverse effects. Prevent further damage by wearing rubber gloves during chores (see page 70 for winners of a GH Institute glove test). After hand-washing, apply a rich moisturizer to nails to replace the natural oils that water washes away. Using a polish (even clear) or a cuticle oil (like Creative Nail Design SolarOil) will provide a protective shield.

Q: What's the best way to manicure my nails?

A: File in one direction only — sawing back and forth can cause splitting. Nails are strongest when you shape them into an oval, says Dr. Kunin of Kansas City. The pointier you make them, the likelier they are to break.

Q: What do those tiny white marks mean?

A: It's a myth that these flecks indicate a vitamin deficiency. More likely, they're the result of a minor injury and will disappear as the nail grows. But watch out for dark marks. If you recently hurt your hand (say, in a car door), don't worry. But if not, and you see a black, brown, or purple band on your nail, it could be a sign of skin cancer. See a doctor right away.

hope this helps you girls!

How to fix a clumpy mascara?

Got a problem with your mascara?
Is it clumpy?

no one wants clumpy ugly not attractive eyelashes!
 

Let’s face it, this happens to every tube of mascara over time. The problem is it dries out and then starts to form unattractive lumps. To help prevent this, don’t pump your mascara trying to get more on your wand; you’re basically pumping air into the tube causing it to dry out even faster.

Although mascara should be replaced every 3 to 4 months, I use to replace mine much sooner just because it dries out so fast and creates undesirable results. But, there’s an easy fix for that! Add a drop or two of Visine (or any brand of eye drops) into the tube, and then rub the wand around inside. The Visine softens the mascara liquid, making it apply as if it were a brand new tube!

For your eyelashes to be as perfect as you are!
