use white eyeliner under your eyes.it really brings attention to your eyes but in a subtle way.don't wash your face more than twice daily.too much washing can cause more oil to be produced.always wear sunblock daily.i use neutrogena spf 45 on my face because its non-comodegenic and i use ocean potions sunblock spf 50 on my body(i order it on drugstore.com).they both prevent my skin from getting burnt and getting a tan.i hate getting a tan cos i end up with different skin tones on my body(am fair skin naturally).soooo not cool to have an uneven skin tone.if you ever decide to use a skin lightener never prolong use for more than 3months and use it only to even up dark spots but not to change your complexion.love your skin and color but keep it even.i shape my eyebrows myself and am a master in them(practiced for years).i do it with a razor and it's perfect everytime and i just maintain it every 5days.perfect eyebrows are a must in a lady.less makeup is more beautiful.ladies with hair on their legs is soooo not cool.i don't have much hair on my legs but i shave the little i have with aveeno shave gel and a bic shaving stick with three blades.never use a shaving stick that has only one or two blades.you tend not to get a close shave.

get the neutrogena deep moisture butter cream or the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Body Moisturizer both are good. and since you have eczema take short showers and avoid using hot water. you can also mix it with the neutrogena sesame oil

What Colour Shoes Should I Wear With A White Dress?
Ideally not white as this is rather overkill - white dresses ideally suit sandals or super high heels. Match your dress to shoe colours such as brown, croc patterns, silver, bronze or metallic.



How To Choose The Right Skinny Jeans For You
Look for dark denim washes in indigo, navy, blacks and dark greys over lighter shades, as these are the colours which will slim down legs the most.
There is no point buying a pair of skinny jeans if you find it impossible to bend or sit down in them - they do come in different widths of "skinny" and can vary from the super skinny of around 25cm hem width to a slightly more forgiving 35cm.

~Not that am aware of! Only the Skin Type matters as Different types of skin Do have different requirements

~Oily
~Sensitive
~Dry
~Normal
~Combination
~All Types

Normal Skin Type
Smooth with a bloom, blemish-free, its underlying functions are in balance as the surface is neither greasy nor tight. A rare type these days, it has limited product needs and doesn't take much to keep it in optimum condition.

How to Maintain:
With a 'don't mend it if it isn't broken' approach to skincare - stick with what works for you.


Dry Skin Type
Dry skin equals dehydrated skin. Parched for moisture to restore elasticity, it can look anywhere between dull, grey, flaky and prematurely lined. Skin becomes more dry the older we get and more prone to the effects of external factors. This type's plus points are pores that are fine and the overall texture once restored, can be soft and dewy. Guard against the appearance of tiny veins and dryness flaring into flaking, cracks or worse. Blemishes are exceptional as a rule and their appearance is a severe sign of dryness.

Dry Skin Tip:
Choose your skincare regime with care - the more simple, gentle and organic the better. Avoid stripping skin with abrasive products and don't mix and match ranges. Nourish from the inside out with selenium-rich brazil nuts, soaked almonds, Vitamin E full avocados, salmon and evening primrose capsules. Boost sluggish circulation with aerobic exercise.


Oily Skin Type
Though supple to the touch, this type has a shiny sheen due to over-active production of sebum. Pores are often obvious and blocked with blemishes and blackheads as a result. Note that blackheads can be gently steamed and squeezed out though the large pores will remain. If totally blocked an oil build-up under the surface can occur in acne spots - which to prevent infection and scarring, absolutely must be left alone to heal or treated topically. This type must be monitored but has the advantage of remaining youthful and wrinkle-free the longest.

Though skin is resilient, excess oil must be gently removed or the sebaceous glands will go into further over-activity. You can take mild soaps and natural antiseptic preparations to begin clearing and normalising your skin. Oily Skin Tip: Invest in a specialist, non-comedogenic (non-blocking) skincare brand that's kind to your type - look for ones featuring facial steam bath and mask preparations to draw out impurities. Drink your way to clear skin - still water, antioxidant packed green tea - and eat more carrots and greens.


Combination Skin Type
Perhaps the most common skin type, this can be hard to handle until familiar with its initially dual, needs. It can come in any mix such as normal/combination, dry/combination, normal/dry. The 'secondary' skin condition will arise in certain areas such as an oily 'T' zone or dry cheeks. Depending on your own needs, book a consultation from a recommended skincare range to learn how to manage your skin's juggling act. It may be a case of at the same time activating the skin's natural moisturising processes while regulating the oil content.

Combination Skin Tip: Until skin shows signs of becoming 'at one', you will need to treat the parts separately - careful cleansing of oily sections, moisturising the dry. Consider any lifestyle changes that could be triggering a mixed skin reaction. A more holistic approach could be the key to balance.


Sensitive Skin Type:
This is often a delicate skin condition. It is recognisable by its swift and strong reaction to stimulus - from products to change in circumstance and the seasons. Vulnerable to rashes, allergies, sunburn and blotches, it needs extra protection and bringing back to neutral.


Sensitive Skin Tip:
Avoid 'break out' conditions such as extremes of heat, perfumed cosmetics, known allergens, chemical exposure. If specific triggers aren't known, keep a diary to discover possible irritants. Sensitivity in the form of redness is due to heightened blood flow to the skin's surface. Seek specialist help to redress but lessen aggravation by avoiding extreme conditions and spicy foods.


Any Skin Type Refining Tips
Check out product ingredients used by your usual skincare and cosmetic brand - some may not agree with your skin type, even some natural ones. Some of the usual chemical offenders include propylene glycol - an extraction solvent linked to some allergies; ethanolamines - pH regulators linked with skin irritations and some silicones, by nature synthetic and non-biodegradeable. Something triggering you? Change brands and look for ones dermatologically tested. If you need further advice, see a dermatologist.

It takes around three months for new skincare products to take effect, which ties in with the seasons. Try to change products before the start of a season

How To Use a Sedu Flat Iron to Style Your Hair

Sedu flat irons are flat irons whose ultra-smooth plates are made of ceramic and tourmaline (a complex crystalline silicate containing aluminum, boron, and other elements, in case you were wondering). In theory these plates generate more negative ions than regular ceramic plates, thus helping to eliminate damage to the hair cuticle (also known as frizz). Another distinguishing characteristic of the Sedu flat iron is how quickly it heats up: 25 seconds from zero to sixty makes the Sedu the Maserati of flat irons.


Here is how to use a Sedu flat iron to style your hair:


Decide on your setting. Sedu flat irons come with a temperature range of 240-410 degrees. If you have bleached, damaged or very fine hair, use the lower setting. For regular use on normal hair, use the middle setting. For very coarse, thick, or ethnic hair, use the high setting. For a graph that will guide you as to what temperature to set your Sedu, consult the Sedu website.

Once you've decided on the setting for your Sedu, plug it in and you'll have 25 seconds of free time while it heats up. Use this time wisely and put some product in your hair. I recommend using a heat protectant along the lines of ghd iron oil (yes, "ghd" is the name brand and it's short for "good hair day"wink.
Now on to the fun: Styling! Always use your Sedu on hair that is already dry. If you have just washed your hair, blow it dry before using the Sedu to style. Here are four fun styles to choose from:

Flat and Straight Select a 2-inch section of hair from the top of your head. Starting from the top, place the hair between the plates and gently squeeze the handle. Slowly glide the Sedu flat iron through your hair to the ends. Keep your Sedu moving at all times.
Soft Curls Select a two-inch section of hair from the top of your head. Starting from the top, place the hair between the plates and gently squeeze the handle. Slowly glide the Sedu flat iron through your hair to the ends. When you reach the ends, wind the hair around the flat iron and release it.
Flip Out Select a two-inch section of hair from the top of your head. Starting from the top, place the hair between the plates and gently squeeze the handle. Slowly glide the Sedu flat iron through your hair to the ends.


Flip In Select a two-inch section of hair from the top of your head. Starting from the top, place the hair between the plates and gently squeeze the handle. Slowly glide the Sedu flat iron through your hair to the ends. When you reach the ends, flip hair in.

Have fun!!
Always at your service.
