BEAUTY TIPS FOR ALL TYPE OF SKINS

There are four types of skins - DRY SKIN
                                              OILY SKIN
                                              COMBINATION SKIN
                                              SENSITIVE SKIN
                                              
Iam going to share few  tips for all types of skin.

1. DRY SKIN:Only cleanse your skin once  at the end of the day.This will remove dirt.In the morning ,a splash  of fresh cool water and some moisturiser are all you need.
Exfoliation is essential for dry skin.When choosing your facial scrub, avoid any made from seeds or salt-these have sharp edges which may tear dry skin,increasing moisture loss.
Never expose your skin to really hot water.It dries out parched skin.
Never dry your skin completely.One of the best ways to hydrate dry skin is just to pat it with the towel after washing,then apply moisturizer to seal in that extra moisture.
Increase your intake of oily fish or take a supplement of essential fatty acids.

MAKE YOUR FACE MASK
1/2 Avocado
1/4 Cup honey
Apply to your face and leave for five minutes before removing with a soft cloth  and some lukewarm  water.

2.OILY SKIN
Only cleanse twice a day. More than will trigger that panic response.
If shine still slips through,blotting paper is great for mopping up excess oil.
Ensure all your products-even  your makeup are oil free.
Cut down on fast foods.
If you get painful red spots,a little lavender oil dabbed on the skin will help reduce inflammation in minutes.In emergencies,whiteheads can be dried out with toothpaste.

MAKE YOUR FACEMASK
1/2  tsp lemon juice\
1 egg white
1 tsp honey
1/2 cup strawberries
leave the mask on cleansed skin for 10 minutes and rinse off.

3.COMBINATION SKIN
Donot scrub oily areas- this irritates the skin and increase oily production.
Dont treat the whole face the same your T-zone require cleansing twice a day.while the cheeks only need doing once.
After using pore strips,apply tea tree oil to your nose.It  will reduce redness and cut bacteria levels in the pores.
Avoid leave in hair conditioners.Ingredients in these block the foreheads pores,making already greasy skin worse.
Dont forget eye creams,you may need to avoid rich moisturizers on your cheeks,but you should'nt skip them on the delicate skin around your eyes.
MAKE YOUR MASK
1 Rose
1 tbsp rose water
1 tbsp natural yoghurt
1 tbsp honey
wash rose petals in water. soak for a few minutes and then crush them in a bowl.Add the rosewater,yoghurt and honey.Mix well and apply to the skin for five minutes. rinse off with lukewarm water.

4.SENSITIVE SKIN
Wear sunscreen.Choose one that contains physical rather than chemical blocks like titanium dioxide and is less likely to cause allergic reaction.
IF you are really allergic, use only water and hydrocortisone cream for six months.Introduce gentle products one at a time.
MAKE YOUR MASK
1cup natural yoghurt
1/2 cup oatmeal
Blend the youghurt and oatmeal together. Mix well and apply to the skin for 10 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

Ten ways to be more attractive to your husband.............

1. SHOW THAT YOU LOVE HIM
Every single day,in some small way, show your hubby how much he mean to u........ tell him u love him. when he is sick take care of him like a little child. pack his lunchbox, hug him and kiss
him
2. HIS HAPPINESS IS IMPORTANT
When a wife indicates to her husband that his happiness is most important to her, it makes him feel very lucky to have her in life. have a surprise party on his birthday, cook his favorite meal, buying a gift for his mother, only serves to make woman more attractive to her husband.
3. LAUGH TOGETHER
Laughter, always , keeps a relationship alive.........................
4. SHARE INTRESTS
join him in his fun. show an intrest in things that fascinate him, so that he wants to share them with you and he does'nt have to feel guilty about his passions, but can enjoy them with unadulterated pleasures.
5. MAKE THE FIRST MOVE
Don't always wait for him to initiate sex. tease and tantalize him and make the first move every little while. your partner is probably preoccupied with boardroom tactics so it's about time you took over thr bedroom maneuvers.
6. TAKE CARE OF YOUR APPEARANCE
Spend a little time and money on taking care of your appearance. we are not talking about cosmetic surgery here just alittle pampering and beauty treatment. shape your eyebrows,or get a facial done. dont feel guilty for spending on yourse lf occasionally and that you have to justify it. feeling good about urself and having your husband's full attention on you is reason enough.
7. BUY SOMETHING JUST FOR HIM
Occasionally buy a sexy negligee and let him know that you did it with him in mind. it will serve the dual purpose of stimulating his visual senses,and make him happy knowing that you did it just for him.
8. MAINTAIN YOURSELF
If you can follow some fitness regime or if you can't make the time for it,even the gym. try out brisk walking atleast for 30 mins that will rejuvenate your senses and keep you in shape. you dont have to look the way when you did when you him, he won't mind a little more of you to love, but you can try and ensure you don't just let yourself go.
if you can't make the time to exercise, try and maintain a healthy diet.
9.ASK HIS OPINION
When you're buying an outfit or debating on what to wear, get his take on it. let him know that you value his opinion and would like to wear something that pleases him. pander to his taste and cater to his little fancies.
10. DONT GET COMPLACENT
It is important not to get too laidback and lounge around all day in pajamas or nightie have an unkempt look. that does'nt mean you have to perform household duties like a glam doll. before you get caught up with the chores of the day, take sometime to freshen up and make yourself feel good. take the time to shower and look fresh for him when he comes home to you.
these are the simple 10ways to attract your hubby towards you................
follow this and enjoy your life

Do we need to be lucky to be successful


Do you think we need to be lucky to be Successful ?

Luck has nothing to be Successful...

What all the Successful people have is the positive attitude of 'I Can and I Will'.

There is no luck involved..... just our mental attitiude....

If you feel like 'I Can't' or 'I'm Afraid' you will become paralyzed and do nothing.

I always keep the 'I Can and I Will' kind of positive attitude....

What will you do ?

Be positive or curse yourself for not being Lucky ???
