When someone mentions the word «fall,» immediately many of us think of the changing of the leaves and… pumpkins.

In addition to being a filling and satisfying fruit, pumpkins are becoming a trendy ingredient in beauty products!

The Healthy Lowdown On Pumpkin

Although we associate pumpkins with the fall season, that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a smart ingredient to slather on our skin. Nevertheless, pumpkin is actually filled with nutrients like vitamins and antioxidants which can help make the skin brighter. Additionally, this gourd has certain proteins that help fight off acne and restore balance, so your skin is sure to have fewer flare-ups and breakouts.

If that weren’t enough to convince you, pumpkin also has beta-carotene, which helps to reduce wrinkles and UV damage. With habitual use, this property helps to keep you looking fresh-faced and young. Maybe those age-defying vampires were really feasting on our Jack-O-Lanterns all along…

Wait At Least Three Days Before Shampooing

When you dye your hair, the cuticle layer is opened so the color can sink in. However, it usually stays open for about 3 days for the new color to penetrate the hair shaft. If you shampoo your color-treated hair too soon, you will risk having the color washed out. The best solution is to wait for the cuticle to close, before you can shampoo your hair.

Use Sulfate-Free Products in The Shower

Sodium laureth sulfate is what gives your shampoo and conditioner the foaming effect. However, this ionizing detergent is extremely bad for new color-treated hair. Sulfate stripps your hair of its natural oils and moisture, which can then lead the color to slowly fade away. You can use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep your beautiful color fresh and brand new.

Wash your Hair Less Frequently

Washing hair daily is already a bad idea, even more if you have dyed hair. For the color to last longer, your hair should be washed no more than twice a week. Shampooing basically causes the hair strands to swell, and the color then washes out little by little. Try using dry shampoo once in a while, to refresh your hair without having to actually wash it. Make sure you pick a dry shampoo for color-treated hair.

Avoid Washing your Hair with Hot Water

Most girls like their showers to be boiling hot. Nevertheless, even on winter days, you should absolutely avoid to use hot water on your recently colored hair.

try shampooing with slightly warm water, and then rinse the conditioner with cold water. The heat will allow the shampoo and conditioner to penetrate and cleanse, while the cold will seal in the moisture from your conditioner. This trick will help prevent the color from fading, by closing the hair’s cuticle.

10 famosas que se han atrevido a posar sin maquillaje

18 octubre, 2019 by Admin

Salir en una foto sin maquillaje como hizo J-Lo es algo que a muchas les da pánico. Otras, sin embargo, parecen estar más cómodas al natural, sin toneladas de maquillaje encima. Aunque claro, si tu carrera depende de tu imagen, la cosa cambia. Aún así, hay algunas famosas que se han atrevido a posar sin maquillaje y subir las fotos a sus cuentas de instagram.

Dua Lipa y Diane Kruger

La joven cantante y la consolidada actriz dieron un paso adelante publicando fotos suyas sin maquillaje en sus respectivas cuentas de Instagram.

Dua Lipa deja claro que el maquillaje en su caso es solo un añadido, ya que luce genial sin él.

La actriz de «La búsqueda» o «Malditos Bastardos» por su parte ya nos deja entrever que va teniendo una edad. Pero, sin embargo, conserva un cutis envidiable.

Salma Hayek y Sofía Vergara

Estas dos actrices latinas también se han apuntado a «dar la cara» en las redes sociales. Vergara lo hizo subiendo un «selfie» en un momento en el que se encontraba enferma. Y, ni con esas, consigue salir mal en una foto.

La actriz mexicana, por su parte, luce su edad sin miedo ninguno en una foto publicada en sus redes sociales donde se muestra tal y como es en el momento de levantarse de la cama.

Thalía y Gwyneth Paltrow

La cantante de origen mexicano y la actriz de origen estadounidense se han animado a subir «selfies» suyos sin nada de maquillaje encima. Y, como no podía ser de otra forma, ambas están estupendas a pesar de rozar el medio siglo de edad.

A Paltrow, según parece, su controvertido estilo de vida le está sentando más que bien. A ver si se anima y comparte con el resto del mundo su secreto para evitar el envejecimiento.

Demi Lovato y Drew Barrymore

Una chica Disney y un auténtico Ángel de Charlie forman parte también de la lista de famosas que se han atrevido a posar sin maquillaje. Y, como en el caso de otras celebrities, la actriz está aguantando sus más de 40 años como una campeona.

Lovato aún no llega a los 30, y por eso mismo hay quién dice incluso que está mejor sin maquillaje que con él. Pero claro, para gustos, colores.

Irina Shayk y Cristina Pedroche

Una, super-modelo de talla mundial, icono de la moda y una de las caras más cotizadas a la hora de anunciar un producto. La otra, una presentadora de éxito y pareja de uno de los mejores chefs del mundo. Ambas tienen una cosa en común (además de la fama, claro), no les importa salir en una foto sin maquillar.

Pero las fotos que han subido para mostrar «como son en realidad» no tienen nada que ver. La modelo, por ejemplo, se sacó la foto en casa, con ropa cómoda y una pose digna de su carrera.

La presentadora madrileña, por su parte, subió una foto más espontánea, dando un paseo por la playa y despeinada por culpa del viento, mucho más en su línea.

Women who have an oval face shape rarely resort to illusions, in order to hide disproportions. According to celebrities stylist Adam Livermore, this face shape is one of the most versatile shapes. He recommends shoulder-length hairstyles, and adding layers to give your hair some volume. Some famous celebrities go for a long rounded fringe, to highlight cheekbones. You could also go for side-swept bangs to show bright eyes and eyebrows.

Round Face

If your face’s width and length have almost the same size, then you have a round face. Women who have a round face shape, often struggle with a »baby-face.» Therefore, it is crucial to try hairstyles that conserve your youthful look, yet add some maturity to your look. For that, short hair really flatters round faces, and low ponytails also add a daring look to your face.

Square Face

You have a square face if your forehead, jawline, and cheekbones are all the same width. Celebrities like Priyanka Chopra always choose hairstyles that flatter these attributes. Hair stylists often recommend women with a square face shape, to go for bangs. They also advise you to go for straight hair, with layers that start a few inches from the end to draw the eyes down and add length to your face.

Long Face

One of the most common face shapes is long, in which forehead, cheekbones, and chin are of a similar width. When it’s time to do your hair, make sure to pick a look that softens your strong jawline. Side-swept chignon, messy low ponytail, or even a flat-iron waves. This will flatter your eyes and give them an attractive look. Why else do you think that Carrie Bradshaw always looked fabulous?

Heart Face

Finally, women with heart shaped face have a wider forehead and a sharper chin. For that matter, they are advised to pick their hairstyles wisely, in terms of balancing the visible width. You may want to try short cropped pixies, long flowy layers, and mid-cut long bobs, like halle Berry does. Another option could be loose waves for long hair, to draw attention to your collarbone instead of your forehead.

¿Cómo decirle adiós a la caspa de una vez por todas?

12 octubre, 2019 by Admin

Te pones tu prenda favorita, te vas al trabajo a por todas y, a media mañana te das cuenta de que parece que ha nevado en tus hombros, ¿te suena? Es normal, una parte importante de la población tiene problemas con la caspa. ¿La parte buena? Que te vamos a enseñar a decirle adiós a la caspa.

¿De dónde sale?

Aunque, antes de nada, hay que saber de dónde sale la caspa y por qué se produce. Porque, si queremos combatir algo de forma eficaz, hay que conocerlo. ¿Dónde se produce la caspa? En nuestro cuero cabelludo, sobre todo en la «raya» que separa los dos lados de nuestra cabeza.

¿Por qué se produce? Eso tiene un poco más de miga, pero las razones principales son dos. O bien porque nuestro cuero cabelludo genera más grasa de la que debería o porque está más seco de lo que debería. En cualquiera de los casos, tiene una fácil solución.

Es hora de decirle adiós a la caspa

Lo primero a lo que deberíamos recurrir al darnos cuenta de que tenemos caspa es, sin duda, a un champú específico para combatirla. Si el problema no es muy serio, con emplear el champú en nuestras duchas durante el tiempo recomendado y no maltratar mucho el pelo, debería ser suficiente.

Estos champús serán ayuda suficiente para hidratar nuestro cuero cabelludo o librarnos de ese exceso de grasa que nos causa la caspa. Aunque claro, siempre que se trate de un caso leve.

Ayuda extra

¿Por qué deberías empezar a usar aceite de coco?

Si nuestro problema es un poco más persistente o simplemente notamos que esos champús no tienen efecto en nosotros, hay que pasar a medidas un poco más completas. Lo ideal sería seguir empleando el champú anti-caspa mientras usamos estas otras medidas, pero no es obligatorio.

Por un lado, aplicarnos aceite de coco en el pelo tras una ducha puede ser justo lo que necesitamos. Además, de hidratar nuestro pelo y evitar su sequedad, tiene muchos otros beneficios que podemos aprovechar. Si lo acompañamos de aloe vera, será aún más efectivo a la hora de eliminar la caspa y mantener un cuero cabelludo sano.

Si nada funciona, toca acudir al médico

Con estos remedios, debería ser suficiente para decirle adiós a la caspa. Ya que tendremos nuestro cuero cabelludo hidratado, libre de grasa y protegido de la sequedad. Sin embargo, siempre es posible que la caspa no quiera dejarnos en paz.

En este punto lo ideal sería acudir a un dermatólogo y comprobar, aunque sea por si acaso, que todo está bien en nuestra salud capilar. De forma adicional, puede que nos recomiende un antiinflamatorio o un tratamiento algo más «serio» para librarnos del problema.
