Milk, moisturizers and more

Unflavored, unsweetened milk with minimal additives is known for its skin softening and moisturizing properties. However, milk can also be used in combination with turmeric, honey and even essential oils. The simplest beauty therapy is to take the inside of a milk bag and rub it on your face. It is even safe to be used on children, especially those with problem skins. Depending on your skin type you could use full cream or skimmed milk. Cleansing milks remove surface grease, dirt and salt left on the skin by perspiration, without upsetting the face’s delicate hydro-lipid (water-oil) balance.

The key to using milk and many other traditional beauty aids is in rinsing them off. Milk is a breeding ground for bacteria when left at room temperature. That is why if not removed properly it could lead to pimples or itchiness.

Beauty aids for the face

Scrub for all skins: Mix together a teaspoon each of skim milk powder and honey. If your skin is very oily add a few drops for freshly squeezed lemon juice. Use that as a mild scrub on your face. Substitute skim milk with whole milk powder for normal or dry skin. Rinse off thoroughly with lots of water.

Tan remover: Blend turmeric powder with milk and apply on the face.

Skin Care For Winter

Its winter and time you began your skin care routine.

Winter means different things to different people… relief from humidity, basking in the sunshine, log fires, a promise of spring…. But to most of us, the cold season means beauty problems in the form of a dry, dehydrated skin. And, all of us want to look good, no matter what the season. Coping with the skin is a daily affair, needing an awareness of its needs and a little knowledge about the kind of treatment it deserves to look its best.

Fear of premature ageing

Extreme heat or cold are direct irritants for the skin. The lack of humidity in the air is bound to affect the skin by robbing it of moisture. Instead of being soft, smooth and moist, it becomes dry and taut. It begins to flake and rough, chapped areas develop easily. People who fall in the “dry skin” category may find that their skins are highly sensitive during winter. If the skin is not given enough moisturizing treatment, it can lead to premature ageing with the early formation of lines and wrinkles.

The right skin cleansing routine

Thorough cleansing is very important for the skin, especially for those living in urban areas. But every time we wash our face with soap, we wash away the natural oils and leave the skin drier. Chlorinated water also aggravates the skin. The skin should be treated with a pre-wash cream to protect and soften it. At night, cleanse the skin with a rehydrant cleanser containing aloe Vera, wiping off all creams with moist cotton wool. Apply a nourishing cream and give the skin a light massage for about five minutes, with upward and outward movements. Again, wipe off cream with moist cotton wool. If the skin still feels dry, apply a light liquid moisturizer while the skin is still damp and leave it on. Intensive miniaturization is essential to ensure that the skin is never lacking in moisture. Before applying foundation, apply a liquid moisturizer.

Most make-up cosmetics cause dryness. If you have dry skin sensitivity, products containing alcohol and synthetic perfumes should be avoided. Remove all make-up with a rehydrant cleanser.

Protection is also important, especially if you go out during the day. Exposure to the sun causes dryness and so does the lack of humidity in the atmosphere. Apply a good sunscreen, along with a moisturizer, for total protection.

Try honey for softer skin

The development of modern skin care techniques have given way to a number of specialized products to cope with specific problems. Various extracts of plants and plant products have been incorporated into creams as they promote tissue building and have cell-restorative action. They are also renowned for their healing and skin-softening properties. Among these are aloe Vera, seaweed, ashwagandha, carrot seed, cabbage, wheat germ, almond and so on. Many of these extracts have the ability to nourish the skin and contain polyunsaturated fats, which without being too greasy also contain vitamins and minerals. Honey is a powerful natural moisturizer. It not only holds moisture, but attracts moisture from the environment. Honey can be applied on the skin to soften it.

Sunlight, extremes of weather, artificial heating and chemical pollutants are all certainly capable of causing definite changes in the skin, which eventually lead to early aging. It is equally true that the status quo can be maintained with appropriate measures. So, whatever the season, never neglect your skin!

Tips for preventing cold weather dry skin

Although many people consider dry skin unavoidable during the winter season, there are several easy ways and techniques to protect your skin, prevent it from becoming itchy and ashy, and keep it moisturized.

Every winter, that unpleasant menace dry skin plagues millions of people. They spend their days itching ashy legs, licking chapped lips, and nursing painfully cracked hands. Unfortunately, most of us consider this as unavoidable as snow in January. We bundle up, suffering and dreamily waiting for spring to come and chase away the problem. However, if you are prone to dry skin during the cold season, you need not resign yourself to your fate. There are several easy steps you can take to prevent it so that your skin is moist and beautiful year round.

The Cause

Dry skin is the result of low moisture. If you watch the weather report on cold winter mornings, you have probably heard the weatherman talk about low humidity, the scientific term for a shortage of water in the air. This dry climate translates into dry skin, even for those who do not spend much time outdoors during the winter. The reason for this is that dry air sucks moisture out of the skin. In order to avoid having dry skin, you need to take measures to control the humidity in your environment and keep it locked into your skin.

Moisturizer

A vital part of your skincare regimen, throughout the year and especially in the dry winter months, should be moisturizer. Lotions and body creams provide a protective layer on the skin, helping to hold in the water that keeps it supple. If you normally use a light body lotion, switch to a richer formula when the temperature drops. Doing so will feed thirsty skin and keep out the drying effects of the cold with a thin oily layer. Incorporate moisturizing into your daily routine, applying it directly after you have toweled off after bathing. Keep in mind that you should take a warm — not hot — bath. High temperatures, in the shower and out, lead to dehydration, which is the cause of dry skin. Choose an appropriate lotion for your face as well, both to keep it moisturized and to fight the signs of aging that come with thirsty skin. Wear chap stick, especially when going outdoors, to keep your lips from cracking in low humidity.

Diet

Your body needs moisture inside as well as out to keep the skin lush and healthy. For the sake of your health as well as your skin, consider kicking your habit for coffee, carbonated drinks, and tea (all of which are diuretics and can cause dehydration), opting instead for pure water. By getting the recommended six to eight glasses daily, you will keep dry skin at bay and will feel better all around.

Exfoliation

Scrubbing dead skin cells from the body is undeniably one of the easiest ways to keep your epidermis looking delectable in all seasons. At least once a week, exfoliate your whole body with a loofah or body-polishing pad. Every three days or so, you should also use a mild exfoliant like an oatmeal soap or complexion scrub on your face. Pumice stones are great for removing coarse skin from the heels of the feet and are available at most drugstores. Just remember not to do any of these too often, which can irritate the skin, or scrub cracked or broken-out areas.

Humidity Control

As mentioned earlier, the weather indoors during winter can contribute to dry skin as much as outdoor temperatures. This is because electric heaters leach moisture out of the air, dropping humidity far below optimal levels. In order to replace environmental moisture, it is a good idea to set up humidifiers around the house. Choose a model with a humidity gauge and adjust the unit until it reaches between forty and forty-five percent humidity. Keep in mind that running a humidifier too high can create conditions in which mold thrives — warmth and wetness — so do not go too high. You can also feed water into the air by filling your home with plants. They release water as part of photosynthesis, so they can provide the benefits of a humidifier and air purifier in one.

Protection

When you venture outdoors during the winter, you undoubtedly don your cold weather gear. A heavy coat, hat, gloves, and boots protect you from wind, cold, and cold-induced dehydration. However, indoors few people take such precautions. While you certainly do not need a coat indoors, you do need to safeguard against moisture-leaching substances around the house. Never wash the dishes or work with household chemicals without putting on gloves. Take care of your feet when you are home, wearing cotton socks or slippers instead of going barefoot.

By following these suggestions, you can almost guarantee that your skin will never again suffer from extreme dryness through the winter months. If you find that, even with these preventative measures, you still experience excessively parched skin, it may be time to consult your doctor. Chronic skin conditions like eczema, although often more pronounced in the winter, are not directly caused by low humidity and require special treatment. However, for most of us, replenishing vital moisture will keep the skin supple even in the bitterest cold.

Winter & Cold Weather Tips

Cold weather can be a real drag. Freezing temperatures, bitter wind-chill factors, even frostbite can take their toll on health, motivation and productivity.

Here are some tips to keep you warm and well all winter long.

Get Physical

The temperature of each body part is directly related to blood flow to that area. When the outside temperature drops your body automatically directs blood vessels near the surface of the skin to constrict in order to redirect blood flow toward vital internal organs like the heart and brain. It is the body’s way of keeping vital organs warm and working. Hands and feet, which have many blood vessels at the skin’s surface, are particularly sensitive to this process and lose alot of warming blood as a result.

Eat to Heat

Eating is another antidote to cold, since the digestion proocess produces heat. Choose something hot. Although the amount of actual heat ingested is small, hot foods and beverages give the nervous system a warmth signal that encourages blood flow to the extremities. Spicy foods will also do this.

While hot coffee and tea may seem like perfect warmer-uppers, caffeine actually constricts blood vessels, making extremities colder. Alcohol is another poor choice when you’re chilled. Alcohol is dehydrating and may supress shivering, the involuntary muscle contractions through which the body warms itself. Tobacco also constricts blood vessels and acts to cool the body.

Learn Layering

Air trapped between layers of clothes insulates better than a single heavy garment. Here are the basics.

Layer 1
Start with an undershirt or long johns in fabrics which trap body heat and wick moisture away from skin. Socks should be made of wool or wick-dry synthetics like Coolmax.

Layer 2
Wear long-sleeved cotton denim or flannel shirts which allow moisture to evaporate.

Layer 3
Pants and vests made of wool keep body core warm without bulk. Waterproof boots with felt liners or other insulation keep feet dry and warm.

Layer 4
Choose coats and jackets with fleece linings and outer shells made of wind and water-resistant nylon. Fleece is the fabric favored by professional skiers and mountain climbers because it retains natural body warmth even when wet and has a very high “warmth to weight” ratio making it effective without being bulky.

Layer 5
Hats and neck warmers go a long way in keeping the entire body warm, since we lose more than half our body heat from our heads.

Hot Rods

Keep you Warm. . . Even in Freezing Temperatures
Hot Rods Garmets and Hot Rods Warming Packs are in a class by themselves when it comes to protecting you against winter’s worst weather conditions. Simply slip air-activated, time release Hot Rods Warming Packs into specially designed pockets of Hot Rods Bandanas, Headbands, Hats, Neckwarmers, or Vests to experience super warming, go everywhere, long lasting heat action. Warming Packs are also great for use in gloves, shoes and pockets.

The winter celebrations

Here come winter ladies and many of you would say thank God for that, since summer seems never ending. So will it be a fun month or is it going to be a shivering one? For Karachities it is more of a party time as there are lots of weddings taking place and then there is Eid. So what do you all do, start making new clothes what else! Well why not, but certain wise women also recycle their old suits in such a way that they can look new again.

For this, it is advised to take your designer’s help who can give you professional advice on what’s in and what’s not this season as they have more knowledge in the business and will be able to help you better.

This season you can also wear brighter colors but again I would say don’t go on what people would like to see you wear but wear what you would look good in, in accordance to your figure, complexion and lifestyle. As winter approaches, you need to wear warmer, thicker fabrics, but choose designs that would accentuate your figure, as thicker fabrics may make you look a bit heavier.

In Karachi the weather allows us to wear thicker cottons in the mornings which look very smart when tailored well with a good cut, design and trimmings. Thick cotton suits look best in straight cuts. You can also get away from wearing -dupattas in winter by wearing matching shawls which can be enhanced by light embroidery and trimmings for the evenings. This will make you feel warm and in style too. Short shirts with straight pants also look good as pants stitched in warm, thick fabrics look very smart. Teenage girls with slim figures look very smart in short shirts but older women should not become adventurous by making very short shirts. For winter evenings you can also wear layered designs in flowing fabrics or drape a coat and slip on designs accentuated with work.

Winter in our part of the world, does not last for a very long time so you can save your sleeveless outfits for summer as they do not seem appropriate and rather out of place, just as thicker fabrics look and feel out of place in summers.

Finally, remember clothes should be worn in sync with weather. In winter wear winter clothes and bright colors and in summer wear summer clothes and light colors and pastels and not look out of place. Here I would like to add, please wear clothes keeping your complexion, figure and lifestyle in mind and have an individual style rather than copying your friends or others.

6 Easy Ways to Look Your Best

All of us strive to look our best but, hectic schedules, small budgets and bad habits can impede your path to beauty. They also can drive you to make unhealthy choices. So, what is a busy woman on a budget to do? Here are some easy ways to look your best — naturally.

1. Help keep your smile bright with grapefruit juice

5. Trying to lose weight?

Instead of chips or candy bars, bring celery slices and peanut butter or fresh grapefruit slices and a handful of almonds to work with you. Planning your snacks ahead of time also will curb mid-day trips to the vending machine.

6. Brighten up with bronzer

Dull, pale winter skin can ring a death knell for beauty. Perk up your complexion with a few well-placed strokes of bronzer to add a healthy glow, and you might not need to wear anything else on your face! Use bronzer for contouring and a little extra color. Don’t apply too much, though, lest you be mistaken for a spray tan victim!
