Foot care

The first step to good foot care is to remove the hard skin from your feet. You may have to use a pumice stone or apply cream generously on the area in order to remove the dead foot skin. Soak your feet in a bowl of slightly hot water. This will soften the dirt and the dead skin, which will allow you to remove it easily. You could use a foot file as well, rub your skin gently and rinse off the flaky residue.
After this soak your feet for about 10 min in a bowl of warm water. Add some mineral salts or palm sea salts, along with a few drops of lavender essential oils that will relieve the aches and reduce the swelling.
Dry your feet, especially between your toes. Trim the nails of your toes by cutting straight across the tip. Shape the corners with an emery board.
Massage your feet with rich foot skin cream. Cup your hands on either side of your foot and with your thumbs firmly press the upper part of your foot while pushing your thumbs outwards.
Gently massage the anklebone in a circular motion to remove any stiffness in the ankle.
Remove the extra cream from your nails. Then place cotton wool tufts in-between your toes to keep them apart.
First apply a base coat of nail polish and then apply a second coat if required. When you apply nail polish, begin from the middle of the nail with one quick stroke and then work outwards.
Wait for ½ an hour before wearing your shoes.
Follow this foot skin care routine a few times a week and you will have lovely looking feet..

Keep In Mind

The beauty sleep before the wedding is absolutely essential so make sure that you are well rested and well fed on the day of your wedding despite all the excitement, fun and anxiety so that you do not look dull and sick at the time of the occasion. Keep one of your friends nearby with all the little things that you might need for that quick touchup such as powder, hair pins, safety pins, lip color and gloss, paper tissue, Qtips and even a mild pain killer, just in case. Keep a second pair of very comfortable shoes handy so you don't look as if you are going to try just because your feet are hurting so! It is always better to check what hairstyles suit you well before the wedding, so you don't mess up on the day of the occasion. Makeovers are thrilling but try them out much before the wedding so that you don't land up feeling strange and uncomfortable on the big day. Don't do any testing on your self just right before your wedding day.

Things To Avoid:

Avoid the "fresh hair-cut look". If you decide to get your hair trimmed or cut, do it at least a month before the wedding date so your lovely locks have time to settle in.

Avoid the skunk stripe. If you have streaks in your hair, make sure you go for a touch-up to prevent solid-coloured roots from showing through your hairstyle.

Don't neglect your hands. There will be a lot of focus on your ten digits as everyone asks to see the ring or while carrying your heavy dress. You'll be shaking hands and getting lots of hugs so make an effort to moisturize your hands daily and treat yourself to a manicure.

A Month Before

Now it is about time when you should give just a last check to every thing.
Although we all know that wedding list keep on changing till the day comes, and still we feel that the more we do is less.

Check with all your wedding cards are they distributed or have every one received them or not

Check with your designer and go for a trial and if you can ask your beautician to give you a complete makeup trial with the make-up. Don't forget to get the jewelery done from the jeweler.

One more thing which a bride should ask her beautician is: what make up can she carry in her hand bag for touch ups. Buy the same recommended make-up and keep your bag handy.

Facial Recipe:

Rose Cream Cleanser
1 tablespoon sour cream
1 teaspoon rose hydrosol
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Combine all ingredients in the order shown, stirring well after each one. Apply cleanser to face and neck skin, using gentle, upward sweeping motions. Rinse well. This recipe should be used within 2 days and makes enough for two cleanings.

Tone-Up Tea
1 cup distilled water
1 heaping tablespoon dried green tea leaves
1 heaping tablespoon dried chamomile flowers
1 tablespoon rose hydrosol
1 tablespoon aloe vera gel3 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
3 teaspoon lemon juice (optional addition for oily skin)

Heat distilled water until boiling. Remove from heat and add green tea and chamomile. Steep for 15 minutes and stain out plant material. Add rose hydrosol, aloe vera and vinegar (and lemon juice, if using) and stir well. Pour into a clean bottle and label. Shake well to ensure the mix. Store in refrigerator for best results and use within 3 weeks.

Aromatic Facial Oil
3 tablespoons jojoba oil
3 tablespoons rose hips seed oil (or 3 tbsp. hazelnut oil for oily skin)
2 drops rose essential oil3 drops lavender essential oil
2 drops geranium essential oil2 drops palmarosa essential oil

In a glass bowl or dish, combine oils with essential oils. Stir with a clean pop sickle stick or plastic utensil to combine. Pour into a clean bottle, preferably one with a medicine dropper so you can apply the oil using the dropper. After cleansing and toning, and while skin remains a bit damp, apply a bit of the moisturizer using gentle patting motions. Do not rub the oil into the skin. Rather, just gently pat it onto the skin and it will absorb readily within a few minutes.

Oats & Aloe Exfoliant
1 tablespoon finely ground oats
1 tablespoon finely ground almonds
1 teaspoon honey
1 tablespoon aloe vera gel

Combine ingredients in a bowl and stir until well mixed. Apply to face and neck skin after cleansing and before toner is applied, using gentle circular motions. Rinse well with warm water and gently pat excess moisture from face. Follow with facial mask.

For now please go with Creamy Facial Mask we all will be making a complete new thread on home facials.

2 tablespoons white clay (I recommend and use kaolin)
3 tablespoons whipping cream1 tablespoon rose hydrosol

Combine all ingredients together in a bowl and stir until a paste-like consistency is achieved. If mixture is too runny, add a bit more clay and stir. If mixture is not smooth enough, add a bit more hydrosol. Spread over clean face as the step immediately preceding application of facial toner, avoiding eye area and lips. Rest for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with warm, water and pat excess water from face.

At home face care:

On occasion, you may wish to add a gentle exfoliation and mask to your treatment. You can try the recipes here, or make up your own using ingredients you have in your own kitchen. Persons with oily skin may find exfoliation beneficial once or twice a week, while people with dry skin may wish to exfoliate only once a month.

We are now rebuilding all the threads and lost our complete thread on exfoliating. Will post the complete thread link ASAP.

Till then try the following:

Watch your sun intake. Use sunscreen and avoid over tanning. If you are using a makeup artist, let him/her know in advance if your skin colour has changed dramatically since your makeup trial. This way you avoid wearing makeup that is too light/dark for your face on the day of the wedding. Be wary of facials. You know your face best. If you've never had a facial before and you'd like to have one before the wedding, plan to go early. Some people may have severe reactions to facials so it's best to go for a test run a few months ahead of time.

One month before wedding stop all make up. But, if you cannot avoid it sometimes, then clean it off soon.
Take a spoonful sugar & juice of a lemon on your palm & rub them together with your palms till sugar melts. Honey can replace sugar, if available. It is more effective and this should be done daily for a month before wedding.

Aromatic head massages to release stress

Stress can make you fall sick which you definatelly don't want to just before a couple of days prior to your wedding day.

For aromatic head massages parlor is best. Or what you can do is you can use lavender oil at home. Or can put the lavender drops on your pillow before you sleep.

yukh

If you find lice or nits, use an anti - lice shampoo, such as Nix or Rid, and follow the package directions carefully.

If your hair is really very dry and rough. Visit your beautician and ask her to do a hot oil treatment in that way she would be giving steam to your hair also.

And iif you are doing it at home after massaging your hair with warm oil. Soak one towel in hot water squeeze it and wrap your hair from scalp till tips in the towel.
This can be done once in a week for effective results.

Oil ur hair regularly

Oiling doesn't mean just poring oil in the scalp keeping it on and then a shampoo wash.

Which ever oil you are going for make it a bit lukewarm and then ask someone in your family to put oil in the roots of your till the tips and massage nicely so that some amount of the oil soaks into your scalp.

Shampoo ur hair at least twice a week to protect

Her overall look should match her personality. From the bridal outfit to her make up and hairstyle everything should add to her beauty and compliment each other. For a bride her wedding dress is of her most priority. In our Indian society from the time the girl understands the meaning of marriage from that day onwards she dreams how she will dress on her wedding day. So lots of effort and preparations are made before the wedding day. Shopping starts months before the marriage. Nowadays, one gets to see the latest trends in marriages.

Fresh New Skin in 25 Days

Our skin renews itself every 25 days, sloughing off old dead skin cells and replacing them with fresh new ones—but only if we practice good skin care. This great skin care routine locks in moisture, keeps chemicals out and gives skin the proper nourishment to help you to look better in 28 days or less.


SIMPLE SOLUTION:
Exercise. Our bodies weren't built to be sedentary. Even though we no longer have to hunt wild game to put a meal on the table, that's what the body was built for. Exercise keeps our muscles in shape, and helps the blood transport nutrients to every cell in the body. Without those nutrients, the body has a hard time regenerating. Exercise is a vital part of a natural skin care routine.

Drink plenty of water. Most experts recommend about 6-8 glasses of purified water a day. The body uses water to flush out toxins. Without it, they lodge in the cells. You may have been told that any liquid will do. Not true: Some liquids (such as alcohol, coffee, tea) actually cause dehydration. So keep up the water intake no matter what else you drink. Healthy skin needs to be hydrated.

Get enough sleep. The body renews itself while we're sleeping. Get at least seven hours a night, and try to make at least one or two of those hours before midnight. The old adage of "early to bed, early to rise" isn't just an old wives' tale. The body clock is set to sleep when the sun goes down and wake when it comes up. Natural skin care is enhanced by adhering to this natural cycle.

Get rid of sugar. Believe it or not, most people with a sweet tooth can overcome the sugar habit within a few days. Just don't eat sugar, and don't drink sodas, and you'll see what I mean. For the first couple of days the urge might be almost overwhelming but if you don't give in to it, you'll find that within just a few days the cravings are much less. When you eat sugar regularly, the body expects it. All you have to do is break the routine. If you have trouble doing this, it might be because you're not getting enough nourishing food and your body is craving a source of energy. Give it protein, healthy fats (such as omega 3 fish oils or flaxseed oils) and complex carbohydrates like vegetables and fruit. After you get through your brief sugar withdrawal period, you should have the energy you need. And do not substitute sugar with artificial sweeteners. These can be even more toxic for the body than sugar.

Eat fresh food. Something that comes in a box and lasts for years doesn't have the nutrient value your body needs to regenerate. Fresh, nutritious food is vital to any natural skin care routine. No matter how many creams, lotions and other skin care products you slather on, your skin will be fighting an uphill battle without nourishment.

Get rid of as many chemicals as you can. Although natural and synthetic chemicals have improved life in industrialized countries in many ways, our bodies are only equipped to handle so much. Pesticides, herbicides and many of the chemicals in our food are toxic. And don't forget the chemical cleaners we have under our sinks! If all our body's energy is being used to get rid of excess toxins, it doesn't leave much left over for the regeneration process. Eating organic food is another natural skin care basic.

Stop using skin care treatment products that are primarily made with chemicals. Some products can fool you. They say "natural" on the label, but when you look at the ingredients you'll find that the natural ingredients comprise only 2 or 3 percent. The rest are chemicals and some of them are toxic. Do a little research on this subject--don't just buy the hype--and use natural skin care products from companies that care about your health.

Following the steps above, and using gentle, natural skin care treatment that doesn't damage the skin will have you looking better in a month. And you'll probably feel better than you've felt in years!

random tips

* keep the use of other chemicals minimum.. like gels, spray etc..

* if u have AC in ur room or office cabin.. neva sit direct in front of AC.. the air shud not directly fall 2 ur hair..

* if u drive a 2 wheeler, or travel in public transport where air is passed in a speed always tie ur hair.. dont keep them open.

* if its pollution or too much of sunlight.. cover ur hair with a bandana, cap, hat, dupataa or anythin fashionable.. i still see ppl who carry an umbrella in summer.. n most of them r 50+ who look like they r still in thier 30's...


* have loads of water

* keep a check on ur diet n food intake. eat healthy n balanced.

* neva use harsh shampoos.. n i hope nobody uses a soap on their hair..(i have saw many ppl using bathing soap on thier hair..*faints*)

permanant treatments

if u r thinking 2 go for rebounding, permanent straightening or colour
first of all make sure ur hear r healthy enough 2 undergo such harsh treatments...

think atleast 2wice b4 doing these things...
coz u might have bad hair after doing so..

i wud prefer healthy hair which r curly..
rather than having straight hair which look dead..

blow drying n ironing

avoid them as much as u can..

but if u have 2 do it..
keep blow dryer at a distance of 6 inches from ur hair..
n go for a deep conditioning more often if u do it more frequently...



if u do ironing, neva forget 2 use a cream or serum which gives protection 2 ur hair from ironing... though it doesnt give complete protection, but atleast sum protection i provided...

using rubber bands clips etc.

dont use rubber bands instead use hair bands..
to be very precise..

that cloth lining wud save ur lotta hair from pulling n breaking...
weneva u wear a hair clip, make sure its not pulling ur hair...


avoid wearing messy accessories on daily basis...

combing the hair

i always prefer brushing ma hair b4 washing them..
coz wet hair break easily..
so its gud 2 comb b4 washing..

after washing, pat dru ur hair if u want..
let ur hair shed sum water..
take a shampoo comb(its that big comb, which has big spaced teeth) n comb ur hair only ONCE n very gently..
let ur hair dry n then only use combs n hair brushes..

neva brush ur hair while they r wet.. they wud break like hell..




weneva u comb or brush ur hair, always have gentle strokes..
dont be harsh with ur hair..
if u wud comb ur hair gently u wud notice reduction in hair fall

towel drying the hair

weneva we need 2 towel dry our hair.. wat we do??
we take a towel n start rubbing it on our scalp...
but its NOT the way 2 do it..
weneva u need 2 towel dry ur hair.. take the towel n try 2 be as gentle as u can..
juz touch the towel on ur hair..
part them n try to touch the towel on all ur hair.. but dont rub..
with practice u wud actually stop rubbing them

serums

serums

these r silicon based transparent liquids used on damp/dry hair..
they make hair look shiny temporarily...
sum of examples of serums r livon, silk n shine etc.. thr lotta brands available..


many scientist claim that too much use of serums can damage the hair, but it hasnt been proved yet, so its ur choice how frequently u wanna use serums

* conditioning:

daily conditioning: thr r 2 types of conditioners used on daily basis..
rinse off conditioners n leave on conditioners..
rinse off conditioners.. these conditioners r generally used after shampooing..
applied on damp hair, kept for a min or two n then rinsed of with water..

TIP: try using it on moist hair, i me an weneva u wash ur hair.. towel dry ur hair softly, dont rub the towel, juz pat dry the hair.. then apply conditioner wash after a min.. u wud notice considerable difference..

leave on conditoner (do not confuse with livon)
these conditioners r used on damp/ dry hair..
n can be kept in hair.. no need of washing the hair..
can be used even if u r using rinse off conditioners..

deep conditioning

once a while depending on ur hair type, deep conditioning is advisable..
it wud nourish ur hair, keep they silky, soft n bouncy..
wud improve texture, strength n help 2 grow

*washing:

hair shud be washed 3 times a week.. it can be more or less on ur individual preferences.. sum ppl say less washing wud cause dirt accumulation whereas sum say excessive washing leads 2 hair fall n dryness.. but india's leading hair stylist javed habib(juz a reference..) says 3 times a week is absolutely safe n gud for hair..

while washing ur hair, try diluting ur shampoo, i mean mix it in water n then use.. this wud have 2 benefits.. shampoo wud be well distributed.. due 2 sidtribution shampoo wont clog at one part of scalp.. sumtimes too much amount of shampoo dres the hair.. which wont happen if u dilute the shampoo..

after applying diluted shampoo 2 ur hair.. massage ur scalp for a min wid ur finger ips.. yes u read it correct.. MASSAGE.. dont worry within a min shampoo wont penetrate or harm ur skin.. it wud juz remove the dirt accumulated in scalp...

many ppl wash their hair 2 times.. they wash it n again apply shampoo n wash.. bcuz they believe this method wud remove all dirt.. but this wud dry up the hair.. if u follow the above method of massaging ur scalp juz for a min.. u wont need 2 wash ur hair 2nd time..

OiLiNg

hair oil: u can get any gud hair oil available in market.
many ppl prefer coconut oil.. try olive oil its gud too..
u can use juz olive oil, or mix sum almong oil 2 it in 1:1 ratio.

Curling Irons/Flat Irons:

Similar to hot rollers, curling irons and flat irons use heat(and in the case of curling irons, occasionally a little moisture) to change the curl patternof the hair. The main difference is that the curling iron lets you add curl in specific places(the flat iron let’s you straighten target sections of the hair).You can style your hair in a myriad of ways and then use the curling iron to add curlsonly where you want them, or use the flat iron to give a smooth sleek finish.Curling irons come in a variety of sizes from tiny, pencil-thin barrels for tight spirals, tolarge barrels for big soft curls. Similarly, flat irons come in varying widths to give finercontrol. Generally, the longer your hair is, the larger the curling iron you want to use.With flat irons, the larger the heating surfaces on the flat iron, the larger the segmentthat can be straightened will be.

Hot Rollers:

These tools use a combination of heat and/or moisture to change thecurl pattern of the hair. Designed to be used on dry hair, hot rollers work by wrappingsegments of hair around the heated tools, and leaving the tools in place until they cool.One factor that works as a plus for hot rollers is convenience. You can wrap your hair inhot rollers and then continue to get ready while they cool and “set”.
Finish dressing, apply your make-up, have breakfast, or do anything you need to while you let the rollers cool. Once cooled, remove the rollers and style your hair as desired.
Tips:
# 1: Always make sure the hair is wrapped smoothly and held securely in therollers. Good tension in the roller ensures that you get the best curl result.
# 2: A light misting of hairspray on the wrapped rollers will give a little extrahold and “lift” to the curled hairstyle.
# 3: Make certain that your hair is completely dry before using the hot rollersand ALWAYS let the rollers cool COMPLETELY before removing them. Most of theincidents of poor results from using hot rollers come as a result of having still-damp hairbefore using the rollers, or from taking down the rollers before they have completelycooled. Remember heat and moisture will break the side bonds needed to change thecurl pattern of the hair, but they don’t get reset into the new curl pattern until the hair isagain cooled and dry.

other standard tools in the hair s

Blow Dryer: Hand-held hair dryers have become a staple in hair care. These toolsare designed to use directed streams of heated air to dry the hair quickly. A good blow-dryer will come with both a concentrator and a diffuser attachment. The concentratorattachment is designed to further narrow the stream of air, and direct it better. It is usedmost often to bow-dry hair into straighter/smoother styles. The diffuser attachment isdesigned to soften the air stream and distribute the heated air for a gentler flow. Thediffuser is used most often to dry curly hair without straightening the curl.

Tips:
# 1: When blow-drying the hair, ALWAYS use a good protective conditionerbeforehand.
# 2: Direct the air stream along the hair shaft at an angle toward the ends ofthe hair. This minimizes the risk of the hot air roughing up the cuticle of the hair andleaves the finished style looking smoother.
# 3: Keep the air stream moving and always hold the dryer at least 6-8 inchesaway from the hair. Most incidents of damaged hair from blow-dry styling come as aresult of holding the hair in the heated air stream too long.

Hairstyling Tools: Tips and Tricks

When you look today at the sheer number of tools and appliances available todayto assist you in styling your hair, it’s easy to get confused. What do I need? Will thatwork on my hair? What does THIS thing do? There are dozens of tools designed to helpyou curl, crimp, smooth and straighten your hair. Here are some basics on the toolsavailable, what they’re best used for and some tips on how to use them:

Combs and Brushes: Many people still don’t understand the basic principles behindthe different comb and brush types available. Here’s a quick primer: Wide-toothedCombs are designed to detangle and smooth out towel-dried hair. For best results, use adetangling spray or leave-in conditioner before combing out towel-dried hair. Smaller-toothed Combs are used for smoothing and finishing short or straight hairstyles.
For brushes, the idea is similar but there are more varieties: A Vented Brush has multiplerows of tines (widely-set) along a base with air holes or openings to allow air to circulateeasily. Vented brushes are designed for use with blow-dryers to control the hair duringthe drying process. Round or Curved Brushes have rows of tines on a round or curvedbase and are designed for use in blow-dry styling to add soft curves to the styles.Paddle Brushes have rows of tines on a flat base and are used in blow-dry straightenedstyles to keep the hair smooth and flat. Bristled Brushes can have natural or syntheticbristles and are used for finishing and smoothing a style, or for distributing natural hairoils and massaging the scalp to maintain hair and scalp health.

get the perfect hair style

To get the perfect hairstyle choose the right hair

The easiest and best way to find a new hairstylist is to ask some one you see with a hairstyle that you like while your in the the mall or other stores. Make sure it is someone who has hair similar to yours. I know from experience it is very flattering and no one will mind telling you where he or she goes. Remember be careful of cheap haircutting shops. Remember you get what you pay for!
Another place to look is at actresses and actors are pretty much up to date. The daytime soaps or catalogs. I know for long hair {Victoria Secrets} is very good. Your store catalogs are also a good source. You can buy a hair magazine at your local grocery store with all the latest hairstyles.







how to select a suitable hairstyle for you.

Hairstyles: You have to remember that just because you like a certain hairstyle that does not mean it will work for you. Hairstyles depend on the shape of your face and the texture of your hair. If its curly or straight. It all depends on how much maintenance your willing to do.

If you have Straight Hair: Of course we want to have wavy curly hair. You know that jump out of the shower hair. It takes mousse and or gel and a blow dryer. A nice soft perm or a texture perm will help. (How to do a Perm.)

If you have Curly Hair: Weather for example, hot and humid for curly hair spells disaster. Most people I know who have curly hair want it straight. Using the right hair care product in your hair before you blow-dry, is critical.

The right hairstyle begins by the shape of your fa

Oval-shaped face
You're lucky - this is the kind of face shape that suits just about any hairstyle. Both long and short hair cuts look great on you, as your face shape is well balanced. The chin and forehead of an oval face shape are in even proportion.
Avoid covering up your perfect face shape with heavy bangs or wearing your hair on your face. You'll lose your face shape and it may add weight to your face.


Round face
Hairstyles with fullness and height at the crown will give the impression of a narrower face. Try a cut with layers while keeping the sides close to your face to make your face appear longer. Round faces suit either short hairstyles swept back from your forehead, or hairstyles that are longer than chin length. Wispy fringes and side parts are also good.
Avoid chin length hair, center parts, fullness at the sides of ears, straight "chopped bangs - these wll all emphasise the shape of your face.

Heart-shaped face
The heart shaped face is widest at the temples and narrowest at the chin, which can appear pointy. Short hair and chin length hair often looks great on this face shape, as the fullness can even out the jaw and chin lines. Chin length bobs, short shags, swept forward layers and wispy bangs all work well.
Avoid full styles that emphasise the upper face without balancing out your narrow chin. Too much height at the crown and tapered necklines will make you look top heavy.

Rectangular, Long face
If your face is long and slender, with your forehead and below cheeks about the same width, hairstyles that balance out the length of your face work best for you. These include short (Short hairstyles) to medium lengths (Medium hairstyles) with fullness at the sides and soft wispy bangs. This will shorten the length and add width to your face. Layered styles work well and add softness to the straight lines of your face.
Avoid too much length, it will only make your face look longer. Too much height will also lengthen your face.

Square face
If your face is square, with a strong, square jaw line and often an equally square hairline, the right hairstyles for you are ones that soften the square look of your face. Short to medium length hair cuts, with soft wispy bangs and a wave or curl will compliment and balance out your straight face shape. If you hair is straight, maybe consider a body wave . Side parts and fullness/height at the crown can add length to your square face shape.
Avoid straight styles - long straight hair, blunt bangs, straight bobs and center parts, as they will emphasise your square jawline.

Triangle face
If you face is triangle, with a wider chin that narrows at the forehead, you want to stick to styles that narrow your chin and widen the forehead. This will balance out your features. Shorter hair can often balance our your prominent jaw line, as well as styles that are full at the temples that taper at the jaw. Off center parts, wedges and shags are also good styles for you. Lots of layers will give you the fullness through the upper part of your face.
Avoid Styles that are full at the jawline and center parts.

Full forehead, long chin
If your forehead is large and your chin long, it can help to add volume below the chin line to balance it out. A thick layered cut or mid-length bob will add fullness where it's needed. Bangs can also reduce the look of a full forehead.

Large features
Full hair can help downplay a large nose or other feature and can help balance out large features. Straight hair, parted down the middle or a long, heavy fringe will make a larger nose seem even more prominent. Subtle highlights in your hair can help by drawing the eye towards the hair and away from the face.

Long or short neck
A long, graceful neck is a beautiful and desireable feature and should be shown off and considered when choosing a hairstyle. Short hair can really show off your neck, however long hair can also add to your already graceful neck when worn in an elegant style, like a twist or updo.
If you want a short hairstyle and your neck is short, create the appearance of length by tapering your hair at the base of the neck and fuller on top.
