TIPS for SKIN this SEASON

SKIN Care this Season

Beauty is skin deep they say. I believe it ,You better start believing what they say. Nothing makes you look more beautiful than healthy glowing skin. Ever noticed the compliments with clear complexions skin receive? It’s thanks to their healthy skin care regime!

So what are we waiting for…skin care products do work wonders but they alone can’t get us that lustrous glow we all crave for. What we need is a skin resolution for every season. Like our diet every season is full of different varieties. our skin diet also should consist of a proper maintained diet.

We are bombarded with so many tips and pointers on how we can maintain our beauty. We buy all sorts of skin care and make up products to beautify ourselves. However, the first and foremost thing is often forgotten, our complexion. Having a clear complexion and healthy glowing skin enhances one’s beauty to levels which makeup and skin care products alone can never possibly attain. Skin care products do work miracles, however, nothing compares to having beautiful health.

EMBRACE ANTIOXIDANTS

 Anti – oxidants are something that prevent free radicals in your skin, thus making it look younger, tighter and healthier. Oxidation of skin is caused due to pollution, smoke and constantly facing the elements of nature (season change). What your skin needs is a safeguard against all these! And where do you get these safeguards? It’s easy; there are plenty of antioxidant rich foods to make your skin dance with joy. You can rely on berries as they are one of the richest sources of antioxidants – it’s the strawberry season – stuff up those for the season! Try the tuna fish salad or sub next time you are eating out – you’ll just up your antioxidant quotient. And if all this isn’t enough – sip on white tea and green tea – enough to arm you against those menacing free radicals.

SIMPLIFY

 All that glitters isn’t gold. Just because that lipstick cost you a wallet scrunching amount of money does not ensure its quality. Be sensible about what you buy. Make sure what you buy suits your skin. Ask for expert help if required. And honey, don’t apply everything from your vanity closet on your face. Stick to ,cleanser, toner, sunscreen, moisturiser and light make up. You can look gorgeous with just this much!

SUNSCREEN

You need sunscreen! Skin cancer cases world over are rising at an alarming rate. All it takes to protect yourself is some sunscreen. Anything with an SPF count of 15 is enough to keep you going. Don’t forget that sunscreens are not just for the summers – the sun rises during winters as well and can cause as much damage. So do yourself, your skin and your life a favour and use sunscreen!.

DESTRESS your STRESS

 

Hectic lives, hectic schedules, crazy working conditions, late night, early mornings, client screeming, boss yelling, life falling apart....sound familiar ? if all this gets you down ? how do you think your skin is going to react? your skin also needs relaxation. Skin is the largest organ of our body and you better pay attention to its need or its going to revolt one day. revolt with under eye dark circles, eye bags,wrinkles, and skin that looks dead. want to avoid this, then take a break relax your skin give it the pamper you take at times. give it a good night sleep, get your honey to massage you one day or book a exclusive distressing massage in a spa. one more tip use aromatic sea salt for bathing sometime. your skin will thank you and be faithfull for the whole life. Is'nt that great.

 

Have a Happy Skin care....

Hair care Tips and advice from Corinne & Friends Oriflame

Tips and advice from Corinne & Friends

1. My 4 steps routineMy usual routine is to shampoo and condition, then use a leave-in spray. Once a week, I use a mask for an extra treat. That’s my routine.

2. Cool, cool, cool! Rinse with cool to warm water, never too hot and rinse thoroughly so that hair feels ‘squeaky clean’.

3. Once a week, hair mask time
Once a week, after shampooing, apply the mask to damp hair. Comb it through from roots to tips. Leave it in for five minutes to do its work, then rinse thoroughly.

4. Cut little but oftenYou hair will be even more beautiful if you cut it regularly, between every 8 to 10 weeks. You don’t have to cut much, but do it at regular intervals.

5. Wet hair is fragileNever brush wet hair—use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to separate tangles before styling.

6. Healthy life, healthier hair
You will notice the condition of your hair improve if you eat a regular, healthy and varied diet. Both your skin and your hair will suffer if you do not take care of yourself.

7. Take care of your hair during summer
The colour, sheen, and condition of your hair can be diminished by sun, sea, and more in summer. Use a range with UV filters, such as a leave-in product, which can help prevent dryness. The shampoo, conditioner and mask in the HairX Summer Care range have been specially developed to protect your hair against UVA and UVB.

8. And be careful with sun beds.They have the same effect on your hair as the sun, bleaching it and fading newly coloured hair. If you tan regularly, your hair will become lighter, dryer and brittle.

9. Hair brushes and hair type
When looking for a good brush, consider if you need a round brush (great for volume) or a paddle brush (best for detangling)

10. And don’t forget, it is not how MUCH…
...but how CAREFULLY you brush your hair. If hair is really tangled then, you should start detangling at the ends first and work your way up. Using a leave- in conditioner will make it easier to comb through. HairX Volume Boost and HairX Daily Care both offer leave-in conditioner sprays.

Sun Protection Factor

Sun Protection Factor

We do lot many things to protect our skin from sun ......are they right. Read through & check what you do is right or no !!!!

What SPF level is sufficient for most skin types? 

Skin that is exposed to the sun on a daily basis should use a day skincare product that contains SPF (Sun Protection Factor).  SPF 8 is adequate for low exposure, SPF 15 is sufficient for medium exposure. For higher exposure SPF 30 is recommended. All of our Skincare products contain UVA and UVB protection. 

For periods of longer term exposure (e.g. holidays, beach, outdoor sports), We recommend use of our sun care range of products which includes products up to SPF 40, and products specifically formulated for children.  For most skin types SPF 15 to 30 should be adequate, for children’s and adults with sensitive skin SPF of 30 or higher is recommended.

It is important to apply SPF products regularly, and to use the recommended dosage for an average adult (5 - 6 teaspoons for a full body application).  Direct sun exposure should be avoided between 11am and 3pm as the sun’s rays are at their strongest at this time. 

Skin Layers Exposed to sun  

Our skin is made up of 3 layers 

Dermis 

Epidermis

Hypodermis 

All the three layers are exposed to sun. However different sun rays damage different layer of skin.

Sun rays consists of UVA UVB & UVC rays .

What is the difference between UVA and UVB? 

The rays of the sun that are damaging to both skin and eyes are the invisible UVA and UVB, both with wavelengths ≤ 400nm. 

UVB causes initial damage to the skin’s outer layer or epidermis, resulting in sunburn.  However, UVA rays penetrate deeper into the dermal layers of the skin and can destroy skin fibres, damaging the skin’s elasticity which can cause long-term effects such as premature ageing, wrinkles and hyper-pigmentation.

Oriflame Cosmetics has a comprehensive sun care range, formulated using a broad spectrum of UVA and UVB protection.  Oriflame products comply with the latest EU recommendations regarding SPF and UV protection and consumer labeling requirements.

Sunglasses been tested to ensure 100% UV protection should be used

Swedish Spa Facial Treatment

Hi friends ,

I have just started blogging to share my knowledge  from the field of beauty.

I have been in this field from past 6 years.

Helped many to fulfill their dream ..to have a flawless skin.

Have also fulfilled my dream to earn money from my beauty field and guided many to do the same. Now have a team who... fulfill their dreams and dreams of many more.....

Have a small club named Dream Builder Club....as name suggest fulfill dreams of everyone.

Today I will be sharing how you can take care of your skin in summer and post summer.

Got a fabulous spa treatment product to share with you.

The spa treatment consists of 3 main products

1. Spa scrub

2. Spa Mask

3. Spa Serum

I purchased these from oriflame. They are suitable for all skin types.

What it gives ?

Swedish spa is made with special hydra care + technology

Thus helps improve the water content of skin.

1. Swedish Spa Smoothing scrub (75 ml-  for Rs.549/-)

              : Smooths & improves skin with exfoliating particles as hydra care + softens & Malachite  hormonises .

After using the scrub skin felt soft , hydrated ,one tone light , Glowing , i was amazed my skin did not turn red as it does when i scrub it,also did not dry when washed.

2. Swedish Spa Purifying face Mask (50 ml for Rs.549/-)

               : Deep cleansing mask with purifying Kaolin, detoxifying malachite & softening Hydracare +

After use skin colour was worth praising, skin tone drastically changes (after bleach how skin gets fair it has same effect but no bleach wow !!! bleach does not suit me ), blackheads decrease in size in first use and gradually they disappear. Only problem is it being a sea algae(Malachite) mask it sticks to skin if kept for long or if you have oily skin, but no worries it can be cleaned by face wash or cleanser.

3. Swedish Spa Rebalancing Serum :(40 ml for 890/-)

               : Rebalance & beautify with protective Malachite, soothing sweet almond & softening hydracare +

Oh !!!! my favorite why after i massages it to my skin i had no feeling i am applying some thing, other wise when i apply cream my skin starts becoming warm  as if it cant breath, It easily absorbed, no out bursts after using. Best part is its a serum : they go deep in our skin & work where as creams being thick only goes to the 2nd layer, this goes to 3rd layer of skin.

How to use : 

1st step : Clean you face with a face wash / Cleanser . It opens your pores & cleans them. If any make up is there it also removes it (For water proof make up first remove make up with make up remover then start ...)

2nd step : Take a little bit of scrub in you finger apply on face in five dots (fore head, nose, chin, cheeks. also on neck , otherwise you face will be white & neck a tone dark)

3rd step : Take a spoon of serum and apply in five areas and now massage for app 10-15 mins , do learn a bit of facial steps so you can pamper your skin . Why do we do this it helps skin absorb the serum which will keep the skin healthy for some days...

4th step : Take cotton remove the excess serum if any. Dab face a bit wet if it has dried...now take little of mask on finger apply on five parts . Now how to spread the mask inner side to out & mid portion to outward portion. for neck give upward strokes. (thin coat for normal skin, thick coat for tan skin)

5th step : Now remove the mask right way to remove it apply little water to face wet the mask massage it to deattach it from skin. Now wash it off. 

Now take cotton and apply toner to it this helps to close pores. then a day cream if you are doing it in day time & night cream if doing at night.

Do take proper cleanser & toner to maximize the results.

• People who are suffering from acne must make it a point to wash their face every day with warm water and a mild face wash.
• Never over wash your face or scrub it too hard as this might lead to dry skin.
• If there are any pimples on your face then take care not to prick it as this can lead to redness, swelling or even scarring. Better apply a good anti-pimple cream.
• Before going to bed, remove any traces of makeup as these can block your skin pores leading to pimples, eye infections, lip discoloration and the like.
• Keep your skin protected from the harmful rays of the sun by applying moisturizing cream or sunscreens. Overexposure to the sun may harm your skin in many ways. It also increases the risk of skin cancer and developing wrinkles.
