Ayurvedic Treatments for Dry Eyes

The eyes are held in high esteem by the science and mythology of Ayurveda. According to the Ayurvedic belief system, the eye has a connection to the sun and the eyes are thought to be fiery in nature and are hence more easily irritated during the hot summer months. Luckily for us, this science also offers many ways to douse the flames in our eyes. You can refresh your eyes by splashing them gently with cool water and blinking seven times—once for each chakra or energy center in the body. If they still burn or are light sensitive, you can then try placing cotton balls that have been soaked in milk or cucumber slices over your closed eyes for around 15 minutes. Another thing that can help treat dry eyes is rose water. You can try sprinkling your eyes with rose water, which will soothe your eyes and leave them feeling cool and refreshed. 1. Ayurveda treatment According to the science of Ayurveda, dry and itchy eyes may indicate that your energy center is out of balance. In order to rectify this, a home treatment called Netra Basti is suggested. For this you will first need to warm a quarter cup of clarified butter and let it cool down to room temperature.

Essential Oils for Skin and Hair Care

Essential oils for skin and hair care are gaining popularity today as they are considered organic due to the very fact that they are extracted from parts of a plant like its leaves, barks, rinds, and herbs. There are also various extraction methods used by commercial producers in order to add these oils into products like creams and gels into a concentrated form. These products can also be used directly onto the skin or by diluting them in water. However, the real question is how much of an effect do these oils bear on our health. It is best to get your doctor’s opinion and stop using it in case you find any side effects. Here are a few things to be aware of before you use essential oils for skin and hair care: 1. Use essential oils if you are too anxious. There are certain simple smelling essential oils such as rosewater, chamomile, and lavender that can be rubbed on your skin or breathed in through diffusion in the air. This will help calm down the mind and prevent any stress or anxiety from setting in, especially if these are triggers for your hair loss or skin rashes. 2.

Easy Steps for Flawless Eyeshadow Application

With patience and practice, anyone can master the art of flawless eyeshadow application. With the right tools and complementing colors, you can do it easily at home. From choosing neutral shades of shadow for everyday makeup and darker and dramatic colors for parties or special occasions, you can mix and match colors to create dramatic looks to amp up your look. Here are a few steps you can follow to master the art of applying eyeshadow. 1. Primer base Always apply a primer over the eyelid so that the eyeshadow stays on throughout the day. If you are going in for a fuller eyeshadow application, apply the base right through the brow; however, if you are limiting the eyeshadow to the crease, then use the primer only up to the crease. You can apply a primer using your finger, but it is recommended that beginners use a Q-tip or a brush. 2. Eyelids Once you decide on the color, you can use the blending brush and dip it in the shadow and sweep the color on your eyelid.

Tips for Applying Foundation Flawlessly

Once you have zeroed in on the type of foundation suitable for your skin, it is necessary to understand how to apply it. Quite often, after applying the foundation while at home, we are not satisfied with the desired effect. However, when we do a trial session at the store, and the makeup artist/advisor helps us choose a foundation and applies it on our skin as a sample, we find the final result to be amazing. The main reason for this disappointment could be improper application. First of all, your face should be clean and without any grease or uncleaned makeup. You should wash your face well and wipe it dry before beginning with your makeup routine. You can also follow this with another face cleanse using cleansing milk. After this, you will have to apply moisturizer and a primer to prepare the face for applying a foundation. In the following, a brief description has been given on how to apply different types of foundation: 1. Powder foundation You can simply pat on a powder foundation with a puff. If the foundation is a full coverage one, then you can apply it all over the face and press it onto the skin with a powder puff.

Hair Extensions: Recent Innovations

The hair extensions market is growing at a rate of around 40 percent annually, as consumers are willing to explore and experiment with new trends. Celebrity endorsements also play a pivotal role in promoting this industry. As per a recent analysis by the Professional Beauty Association, there has been a 28.5 percent increase in the number of professional salons offering hair extension services in the country over the past two years alone. 1. Own-hair extensions This trend once started as the result of export and sale of human hair that was otherwise discarded from salons or offered in temples in a few Asian countries. A lot of unprocessed hair used to get collected, and these went on to be designed as human hair extensions to be attached to the regular hair for more length and volume. This culture has today become a norm wherein you can opt to save your own hair when you go for a haircut at salons. Widely welcomed by many who prefer to use real hair extensions but do not prefer to have hair from another donor attached to their own, own-hair extensions have become a trend in many parts of the world. 2. Synthetic hair extensions Wigs have been in the market for a couple of centuries now, and the modernization of the wigs has resulted in synthetic hair extensions.

Effective Home Remedies for Hair Loss

Hair with plenty of volume and luster is considered as healthy. Our scalp has around 100,000 or more hair follicles. Hair has a life-span of around two to five years during which hair grows and dies. However, factors like nutrition, stress, illnesses, and harmful haircare products can play an important role in maintaining the health of hair. It is normal to lose anywhere between 50 to 100 strands of hair each day; the loss of 100 strands in 100,000 follicles isn’t something to worry about. The cause of worry arises only when the hair fall rate is unusually high and causes bald patches or if it falls in clumps. There are many cosmetic products and treatments and medicines to treat hair fall. It is still safer to try home remedies as they will be long term and will not have any significant side effects. However, if the condition is very severe, you should opt for tests and medical treatments. If you have mild hair fall, you can try natural alternatives, such as the following, that are completely safe for the scalp and skin. 1. Raw egg mask The peptide in egg yolk, which is water-soluble, possesses hair growth-stimulating and nourishing properties.

Common Types of Hair Straighteners

Each of us has our a different hair type, in terms of length, thickness, and texture, and no product can be universally recommended for everyone’s hair. Even though the ultimate purpose of any type of hair straightener is to make the hair free from curls, the effectiveness largely depends on the individual’s hair type. In the following, some of the common types of hair straighteners that could be used for every hair type have been listed: 1. Titanium flat iron This flat iron is known to produce negative ions and heats up really quickly. It is suitable for all hair types and also works great on colored hair. 2. Ceramic flat iron This has an even heat distribution and works well on wavy and slightly curly hair. Since the ceramic is prone to peeling off, the straightening efficiency tends to wear away with usage. Also, too many curls may not be straightened out as effectively as moderate curls. 3. Tourmaline flat iron Similar to titanium flat iron, this type also produces negative ions and heats up quickly. This again can be recommended for all hair types, particularly, fine hair and chemically treated hair. It also tames colored and brittle hair.
