One concealer color doesn’t solve all your problems (sadly). To get the absolute best results, you should use different colors based on the problems you want to, well.. conceal.

Additionally, if your face has more yellow tones you want to correct, you can use lavender colored concealers underneath foundation. Who knew there was a rainbow of colors to choose from for your concealer?

Blot With Tissue To Combat Creasing

What Causes A Sinus Infection?

Back to school (and work) after the summer holidays means back to being surrounded by a sea of germs. Whenever a bacteria or irritant gets in our sinuses, it can block the «drainage system» and lead to a build up of mucus. When this gets infected, it then leads to- you guessed it- a sinus infection.

The most common symptoms people experience with a sinus infection include pressure around their face and nose, headaches, and major league congestion. If the infection is viral, taking some over-the-counter decongestants and pain relievers should do the trick in a week’s time. If it’s bacterial however, you might need to visit a doctor for an antibiotics prescription. Regardless of the cause, you are likely to have the same symptoms, all of which can be reduced and kicked in the bud with these at-home remedies.

Nasal Rinse

The quickest relief for your congestion and blockage is with a nasal rinse. The easiest way to do this is with a neti pot, which helps to get warm saline solution through your sinuses. You can use it over a sink or in a shower by pouring a saline solution through one nostril, and it will flow out the other.  This method helps to clear out mucus and any bacteria that could be growing in your nasal cavity.

Humidifier

We need moist air more than ever when we have a sinus infection. This is because the mucus can more easily flow and not get blocked, causing us to have trouble breathing. It can also increase your chances of getting more infections and bacteria trapped in your sinuses. Time to invest in a humidifier and kick that sinus infection goodbye!

Can Dry Brushing Help Reduce Cellulite?

by

The thought of using a dry stiff brush on your behind sounds anything but fun and relaxing. Nevertheless, many spas offer this dry brushing technique as part of the pampering process, claiming it works wonders in reducing cellulite. Is this ancient technique of sloughing off dead skin really worth it?

The Technique Behind Dry Brushing

Dry Brushing is not some futuristic technique that uses advanced materials. In fact, the basic concept behind dry brushing is simply exfoliating. Using a bristle brush across your body helps to remove dry and dead skin, which helps your skin to hydrate better afterwards when applying moisturizer afterwards.

Not only does dry bushing help to exfoliate the skin, but it also detoxifies the skin. The pressure from the brush helps to push lymph node fluid and eliminate it from your skin. This process in turn improves circulation to ensure all the organs function at their best.

How To Properly Dry Brush

First and foremost, you need the correct type of brush. The best ones have firm bristles and a long handle so that you can scrub in all the inconvenient to reach areas. Additionally, the best time of the day to dry brush is in the morning right before a shower. The exfoliating motions will help to open your pores, meaning lotions can better absorb into your skin.

«Bottom» Line- Can Dry Brushing Truly Reduce Cellulite?

The answer is two fold. It is true that dry brushing can eliminate toxins in the body, especially ones that wear away at connective tissue. When connective tissue breaks down, the result is often the formation of dimpling along the skin. However, this is not the only thing that influences ones’ cellulite. Fat deposits as well as genetics have a big impact on the appearance of cellulite, which is why 93% of women have it.

Ultimately, there is not enough scientific research to justify that dry brushing can reduce cellulite long term. If anything, it is more of a temporary reduction that requires daily use to upkeep. That said, if you are looking for a quick fix to confidently strut your stuff, this might be the trick for you!

Washing Your Hair Daily Is Actually Bad For You

by

We can do anything to have a shiny hair. Hair masks, the most expensive shampoos and conditioners, and even top finishing products. However, having a healthy, shiny hair may be requiring a little less effort.

Studies have shown that washing your hair frequently is not good. In fact, they recommend you to wash it once or twice a week. You can find out the why and how in this post.

Why does washing your hair daily damages it?

According to Carolyn Goh, MD, assistant clinical professor of medicine at UCLA, hair produces natural oil called sebum. It works as a moisturizer and a protection agent for the hair and skin. Excessive washing results in trapping this oil and causing product residue.

Nevertheless, some cases do require more »shampoo time». The same researcher agree that if you have very fine hair, or you sweat daily (obviously if you exercise) then you may need to wash your hair more frequently. Humidity also plays a role in making your hair look dirty quickly, and if you have an oily scalp, then you have to use more shampoo than regular hair types.

How can we replace using too much shampoo?

Even though dry shampoo is the easiest alternative, it’s not exactly the healthiest option. Immoderate use of it can lead to clogged pores, dandruff, and irritated skin. Happy Hair is a book published on amazon, and that offers simple replacement to shampoo, in order to have a healthier hair.

Eggs: Whisking a whole egg in a cup then pouring it on your hair is a magical treatment. The water should be cool (not hot nor cold) for you to get a clean, soft and shiny hair.

Clay: Known to be a natural remedy for both hair and skin. Applying clay with some boiling water on your hair, then rinsing it off has amazing results. Not only does it clean like shampoo, but it acts as a conditioner as well. Two in one!

Lemon: This fruit could come in handy and not only in the kitchen. Lemon is an anti-bacterial agent, so it can help you get rid of dandruff. Squeeze a whole lemon into a cup, then pour it on your hair before showering. Leave it for about 10 minutes, then rinse it off with templed water. Lemon can also help lighten the color of your hair for a blonder look.
