Summer Make-Up Look - Healthy Skin

I think it's important to change your make-up look and everyday products or colours with the changing seasons to more beautifully blend (or stand out) in your naturally changing environment and also to best meet the needs of your changing skin. This summer I personally feel inspired to focus on my skin. The make-up look I'm going for is a very natural, honey toned flawless skin finish with minimum use of coral tones. I hate putting on several products like foundation, primers, concealers, powders or even moisturizers as I feel like my skin can't breathe. So for me to look even toned and smooth, I have to take care of my natural skin. I'm aiming for a healthy, evenly pigmented, naturally bright and slightly bronzed skin tone. Before I get into the methods, I'll describe my skin type a bit and if you have a similar skin, it might be beneficial for you too. My skin is normal to dry and a bit sensitive. Here's my plan:
Dry skin cleansers contain a variety of emollient ingredients to preserve and add moisture to your skin without feeling too heavy or clogging pores especially during summer when the excessive heat makes your skin produce more oil.
2. Exfoliate!
This is the key to a naturally radian skin. Chemical exfoliants such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid and citric acid are relatively better than physical exfoliants simply because they are less abrasive on the skin and the side-effects are generally more controlled. I also feel that they give a much thorough cleansing without irritating sensitive skin as is the case with physical beads. It will take off all the dead skin, clean pores and make the skin appear more radiant.
3. Ubtan - Herbal Mask
"Ubtan" is an Ayurvedic Facial Mask very frequently used in India, especially on brides, to make your skin soft, smooth and glowing. The key is that it world in making your skin look brighter. 4. Milk & Yogurt
Especially sour milk mainly due to lactic acid. It is great to peel off dead surface of skin and brighten your complexion. Similarly, yogurt is great for skin due to the active cultures (probiotics) in it. It diminishes pore size, improves the overall texture of the skin making it feel smooth and radiant.
5. Avoid touching, scratching and rubbing
This is a huge cause of skin irritation, redness or breakouts. I also aim to ensure regular cleaning of pillow cases and prevent rubbing of comforter on my face as it could build up bacteria through oils transferred from my skin and hair on to the pillow covers.

Padded Panties Versus Collagen and Fat Injections Versus Butt Enlargement Cream

Butt enlargement options are obviously designed to make for a firmer, rounder and more pert behind in the mold of Jennifer Lopez. What exactly are your options in butt enlargement? We can mention three of the most common options, namely, topical applications specifically the popular butt enhancement cream, butt-enhancing underwear with padding, and collagen injections. Safety
Of course, the safety of the butt enlargement option is always the most important criterion. Butt-enhancing underwear with padding is the safest option because there are no topical applications and no injections involved. Just wear the underwear like any other pair of panties, put on your jeans, and voila! You can now fool people into thinking that you have a perkier butt without suffering through butt enlargement surgery.
Both of the last two options carry the risks of side effects including bacterial infections, skin allergies and physical deformations mainly because of their potentially harmful ingredients. With a butt enhancement cream, you can immediately stop using it when side effects like skin allergies do occur.
Efficacy
When it comes to efficacy in butt enlargement, collagen and fat injections are the most effective because results can be seen almost immediately. As for butt-enhancing underwear, you can only fool individuals some of the time but not all of the time when you are wearing it. With the best butt enhancement cream in the market, the results will take weeks of regular application to appreciate. You must also eat the right foods and do the right exercises to complement your natural butt enlargement efforts. The good news is that the results are more permanent than a butt-enhancing pair of panties and far safer than collagen injections.
Cost
Obviously, the most expensive option in butt enlargement is collagen and fat injections because you have to pay for the surgeon's fees, the post-surgery care and other incidental expenses.

How to Apply Women's Fragrances and Perfumes

There is a right and a wrong way to apply perfume, and women usually wear perfume when they want to be embraced, as perfume is most definitely a weapon of seduction. Perfume should be subtle, whereby you can just smell it, as too much perfume can make one feel nauseous as well as others around you. Once a perfume is opened the fragrance can become altered, and if well maintained the perfume will last for around five years. Depending on the perfume, the color may change after a couple of years. Choose either an eau de parfum or an eau de toilette, apply the perfume properly and maintain the perfume correctly. Also remember that heat releases the perfumes fragrance, so if you live in a hot climate do not use an excess of perfume at a time and only apply it to the given points. One should only be able to smell your perfume in passing.
Like the skin, certain fabrics will release the smell of perfume in different ways, so first test the perfume on your clothing. You can spray perfumed products on jacket lapels, scarves and hems to give your clothing your own signature fragrance. However, perfume can leave permanent stains on your garments. Avoid using different perfumes on your garments as the fragrances could clash. If you make use of many different perfumes, avoid spraying these on your clothes and only spray them onto your skin.

Woman's Fragrances and Perfumes Seasonal Trends

Perfumes and fragrances change seasonally and so to perfume trends. Young girls and some women that are not accustomed to wearing perfumes may at first find it difficult to find a fragrance that defines their character and personality, and to be able to choose the best womens fragrances and perfumes, you should first know how to apply perfume correctly. People can spend hours trying to decide which perfume smells good, as there are thousands of different fragrances from around the world. So no matter where you choose to buy your perfumes or from which country, you will find almost the same choices at every perfume stockist. No matter how good a bottle of perfume looks, or how trendy and designer the brand is, perfume is not like buying candy from a candy shop. There's a definite perfume for each character. Buying perfume as gifts is not always easy unless you know exactly what type of perfume or fragrance the person wears. For instance it is assumed that people with bold extraverted personalities prefer perfumes that have an instant charm such as fresh floral fragrances. Women that are ambitious and have character would wear chypre perfumes and those that have optimistic characters and are leaders would wear fruity floral fragrances, for the young at heart powdery fragrances and for the more sensual mysterious oriental fragrances.

Cosmetic Surgery Overseas?

When we're talking about a cheap, overseas procedure, we're talking about you visiting a developing nation that doesn't have the same medical standards or expectations that the developed countries have such as Australia or the United States. This is where you can get a cheaper cosmetic procedure done, and because people see the nation as being "developing" instead of "developed," they associate a similar procedure being done, but for less of a cost because their monetary unit is worth less than ours.
The simple truth is that the money you save on a cheap cosmetic procedure that you get overseas will likely be offset by the cost of needing to have a doctor here at home correct the damage that occurs. With different standards of medicine, one of the biggest risks that patients face during an overseas procedure is an infection. If too much botox was used, well then... your overseas doctor wishes you the best of luck with your new face. One of the primary reasons beyond cost that people choose to pursue the medical tourism industry and go overseas for a cosmetic procedure is that people won't know who they are. What if you have an allergy to penicillin? What is you have something in your medical file here at home that is preventing your doctor from performing the cosmetic procedure you want? Doctors overseas are notorious for not taking any medical history questions, or even caring about what has happened to you from a health perspective. The medical tourism industry is a $35 million industry - and that is also about the same amount of money that is spent by people correcting faulty surgeries done by overseas doctors.
Don't get stuck trying to fix a cheap doctor's mistake - in Australia, we're privilege to have the best in cosmetic surgery care before, during, and after any procedure. Our patients always hold the utmost importance, and that shows in the quality of care that you receive... even if it does cost a little bit more.
