Skin Care for Men

2011-11-01T03:15:00.000-07:00

In today’s world even Men have taken the pride and have got concerned about their skin appearance. The demand for skin care products for men has seen a massive growth in the last decade.

Men have found the answer to their skin care needs by visiting salon’s and spa’s who provide special skin treatment for men. Men are more prone to have oily skin than women as men are always on their feet all day long. Dry skin is also a problem faced among men which tends to wear out their skin as the blood vessels below the skin die which also leads to skin cancer if not taken care of.

Busy life in today’s world is giving no time to men to take care of their skin which gradually affects their health. Men have a rougher skin because of endless shaving and razor use.

Men do try to protect their skin by wearing sunglasses, bandannas, etc. etc. Do you think that works? NO! Men do need to visit a Salon or a Spa to help protect their skin from the Hot Sun.

We all know that men spend less time than women to take care of their skin, and then they spend more time than women in damaging their skin.

Some Quick Make-up Tips!

2011-10-05T00:22:00.000-07:00

How to create a natural, rosy radiance?
When applying blush, you want the color to look soft and natural, as if it comes from within.

Enrich Simple Tips on how to apply make-up:

1. Tap or lightly blow on the applicator brush to remove any excess blush before applying to prevent a harsh and uneven application.
2. Apply your blush on the apple of the cheek and carefully blend towards your natural hairline.
3. If you have two shades, apply the darker one on the apple of the cheek first, then use the lighter shade to highlight. Blend well so there is no visible line between colors.
4. Highlight your temples, forehead and chin.

Enrich Tip 1 : To know "where to glow" bend over for 30 seconds, then slowly stand up. Where your cheeks are flushed is where you are meant to blush. Apply your blush there and it will be naturally rosy every time.

Enrich Tip 2: Cheek color should be used to enhance your complexion, not to change your natural skin tone. Use sparingly for daytime, then add more or a deeper shade for a more dramatic nighttime effect. For special occasions, dust a lightly frosted powder over your cheekbones for a subtle but alluring glow.
Enrich Tip 3 : Make sure to blend your blush into your foundation well or it will tend to look unnatural.

Dry Skin Getting You Frazzled?

2011-08-24T03:59:00.000-07:00

Dry skin is a skin type in which various factors deplete skin of its natural lipid layer, which keeps the skin from drying out. Skin tends to get flaky, itchy and can be a menace if not taken care of properly. Creams and other skin-care products that are based on natural hypoallergenic ingredients are the best.

Here are some do’s and don’t’s which can help if your skin is prone to dryness:

DO’S:

· Exfoliate on a Weekly or Semi-Weekly Basis - Moisturizer is much more effective on properly exfoliated skin. Use a salt or sugar scrub in the shower and exfoliate your face with a mild scrub made for the face.
· Add oil to your bath. Add a tablespoon or so of almond, jojoba, olive, or hazelnut oil to your bath water after you’ve soaked for about 5 minutes. By soaking first, your skin gets plumped up by the water, then by adding the oil, it will seal in the absorbed moisture.
· Use only gentle cleansers. Avoid cleansers such as deodorant soaps and harsh abrasives.

DON’T’S

· Do not sunbathe too often.
· Do not use astringent masks.
· Do not use grained peelings too often.
· Avoid hot water when washing face and during showers.

Invest well in your hair and skin for a beautiful life!

2011-08-04T00:05:00.000-07:00

Many believe that the safest and best investment is to invest in oneself. Hair and skin care requires one to invest a whole lot of time, money and energy. And the result of this investment is always worth it.

Most of the times we end up dealing with irreparable damage done to our hair and skin and the most basic cause for this, that many overlook, is the fact that you just did not take adequate care. It is when we fail to take heed of our mother’s and grandmother’s ‘nuske’ as we call it, that we end up in a dead-end situation.

It is thus important that we understand the close relationship that is shared between hair care and skin care and then learn about the basic factors that shall contribute to ensuring for yourself smooth skin and lustrous hair. Proper cleansing is the first factor here and very often it is simple steps as these that we fail to ignore.

And here, excuses such as ‘don’t have time’ shall not work as you shall be pressed for time throughout your life and it shouldn’t be that you genuinely then don’t have the time to repair the damage. Proper hydration is as important as adequate cleansing of the hair and skin. Water plays a very important role in nourishing both your hair and your skin. These are the factors that you must ensure become a part of your daily schedule in order that your hair and skin care problems stand long-resolved and never crop up again.

Once again the point that you must ponder upon here is that if you need to invest you might as well do that for the good health of your hair and skin.

No need to be afraid of the rains now!!!

2011-07-25T06:46:00.000-07:00

The rhyme Rain! Rain Go away…come again another day is literally sung by all during the rainy season. Although we do need rain, the havoc it causes with the transport, road and not to mention to the people traveling is very likely a big problem. One such problem is our hair. Though loved never cared, that is the proper way to describe how we treat our hair. Under usual circumstances our manageable locks, have a life of their own during the rainy season. The more we tame the more they spring back to its original unruly state. Here are some cool tips to follow.

1.    Shampoo and condition your hair with good quality hair shampoo and conditioner once every time you get wet during the monsoons. A leave- in conditioner after a hair wash protects the hair from damage by reducing frizz to a mighty extent .My best buy is L'Oreal Liss Extreme Reflexium Leave-In conditioner to tackle the frizzy hair.

2.    Combs work best to de- tangle knotty strands after the leave-in conditioner is applied on the hair and combed thereafter.

3.    Eat a lot of fresh vegetables and fruits this season. Secret tip would be drinks two cups of water just as you wake up followed by munching three almonds after breakfast.

Follow these simple methods and tame your fiery locks people… ;)

The Do's and Don'ts of Hair Care!

2011-07-15T07:58:00.000-07:00

Hair are exposed to sudden showers and are often not completely dried. As a result, dandruff is rampant in this season. A recent survey by Clear suggested that scalp care is the lowest priority for Indians.. “Rain water has the tendency to seep in to the hair and penetrate into the hair shaft, thus making it weak,”.

Dos and dont's
• Just as you massage oil, massage raw milk in your hair. Wash off after an hour.
• Grandma’s advice still holds true. Give your hair a hundred strokes with a brush, before going to bed to increases the blood circulation.
• Heat olive oil and massage into hair, this helps get rid of split-ends.
• A paste of jaggery, curd, and multanni mitti applied on the scalp before shampooing keeps dandruff at bay.
With the heavy monsoon showers, we often tend to neglect our hair and take our beauty for granted. Sticky, limp locks and over the top frizzy hair can make you look outrageous. However, some cool hair tips and hair styles which will make super frizzy and dry hair, beautiful, manageable and super lustrous.

1.    The evening ponytail: Just dress your hair up by teasing the crown, wrapping the front and top sections around a midheight pony and pinning them underneath. For an even more polished look, use a 1 1/4-inch curling iron to slightly curl the ends of the tail.

2.    The cheerleader ponytail: Straighten or curl your hair all over first. Grasp all hair in one hand down low. Start to pass the hair back and forth in your hands and go higher while doing so. Put your hair tie in and bobby pin down massive bumps. Secure with bobby pins or hair clips. You can also just tie the braid in with your pony. Add a cute preppy ribbon.

3.    The teased ponytail: Put your hair in a basic ponytail, high or low doesn't matter but a low one would work best with very long hair. Put elastics down the ponytail every 2-3 inches, or 1 inch if you have short hair. Use small, thin, covered elastics -or rubber bands- that are close to the color of your hair. Pull the elastics down a little bit and then up again for pretty poof. Voila! Accessorize with a cute headband or head wrap.

4.    The half-up ponytail: Flip your hair upside-down and part your hair horizontally about a 1/3 away from your hairline. Brush the ponytail smooth or leave it messy. Secure with a hair-tie or a hair-clip.

These fast, easy and fun-to-do hairstyles are definitely going to make sure that heads turn in your direction! Enjoy!

How To Choose Bangs Which Will Suit Your Face Type.

2011-06-30T05:43:00.000-07:00

Bangs are totally in vogue right now and why should you miss out on this latest chic style? Whether they’re blunt, side-swept, choppy or asymmetrical, bangs tend to look good on just about anyone. However before you reach for those scissors, consider that certain bangs look better on better face shapes.

1. Heart shaped: People with heart shaped faces often have a higher forehead than other faces. Heart shaped faces often have sharp chins, so you will want a bang style that accentuates your eyes and cheekbones, not your chin. For this, side swept and longer off center bangs are a good look. Also depending on your hair type and thickness you could also try short bangs that are wispy or have a fringe look to them.

2. Oval shaped: Your best bang look is going to be a little longer. Bangs that are just a bit below your eyebrows will look perfect. Thicker hair works well for a blunt cut, whether you go longer or shorter. If you have thinner hair, try a fringe or long wisps. Both of these bang looks will add width to your face so it looks more even and symmetrical. Be careful not to add too much volume to your bangs or your face will end up looking even longer.

3. Square shaped: Long layered bangs that land right at or slightly below your eyebrows will suit such face structures best. Sweep them to the side and you have a different, but equally fabulous look. Don't let your bangs get too long and avoid blunt bangs at all costs as they will just accentuate the sharpness of your face.

4. Round face: If your face is round you want to go for bangs that will elongate it, such as long bangs swept to the side or a light fringe. You want to try not to add volume to the sides of your head with short-layered bangs or anything choppy.

How to Make Curly Hair Into Straight Hair

2011-06-21T00:00:00.000-07:00

Hairstyles are a big confusion for the women of today. Everyone likes something which is temporary, chic and yet makes a style statement. Similarly, many curly-haired people would die for a head full of pin-straight.We give u simple steps to get that perfect look from your curls to straight hair.

Steps:

1. Before getting into the shower, wet your hair with cold water. Use it like you have shampoo in your hair, when you start to put the water through your hair. When finished, comb hair straight.

5. Unwrap hair, and blow-dry it. Make sure all of the hair is completely dry before proceeding.
6. Part hair into an upper section and a lower section [half ponytail]. Clip upper section very high up.
7. Set hair straightener to appropriate setting for your hair texture/thickness/manageability [that will be indicated on box] and wait until it has warmed up to the appropriate heat setting.
8. Spray bottom half lightly with hair spray and massage the hair spray in lightly in a downward motion for a couple seconds.
