Skin Care Tips | My Cosmetic Review https://www.mycosmeticreview.com Wed, 10 Jun 2009 20:36:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.5 Treating Your Acne at Home! https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/treating-your-acne-at-home/ Fri, 12 Jun 2009 19:45:20 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=593 You might think the only way to clear you acne is by using a prescription, over the counter treatment, or going to a specialist. However, this is far from the truth. There are tons of home remedies that naturally clear up acne and leave you with smooth, flawless skin.

First, lets take a look at your diet. This has alot to do with the formation of acne. Carbohydrate foods with a low glycemic index can help stop the formation of acne by up to 50%! Eating right can really help your acne, and keep you from breaking out. However, if acne is already a problem, i have a few home remedies you should definitely look into:

Take unboiled milk and grind nutmeg. Mix together and apply on your acne and leave for one to two hours. This sounds rather unpleasant, but believe me, it clears your acne right up.

Another acne home treatment i would suggest is with cinnamon powder and honey. Make a paste of the two ingredients, and apply to pimples before you go to sleep. Wash it off with warm water the next morning, and continue this routine for two weeks. You will have acne no more.

One more treatment that has worked wonders for me is fresh mint juice or garlic. Either ingredient when applied to pimples clears them up in a matter of hours.

Hopefully this helps and you will have as much luck as i have had!

Finding a Solution to your Acne https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/finding-a-solution-to-your-acne/ Wed, 03 Jun 2009 17:32:07 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=579 There are so many different types of solutions for acne these days it is unbelievable. However, despite the rather large number of products that offer an end to acne, finding one that works for you is not always easy. The first step in finding a product that works for you is analyzing your skin type. This is very important, as it will help you to narrow down products. You need to find something compatible with the type of skin you have in order to achieve maximum treatment and reduction of acne.

The next step is to analyze exactly what your problem is. Are you having serious breakouts, or just a pimple here or there? Certain solutions for acne are designed to treat different problems. You need to pinpoint exactly what your problem is, and find a treatment, something that specifically matches the symptoms you are having. This way, the problem will be taken care of quickly and easily.

Now figure out what method will be easiest. Cream, face wash, facial masks, they have it all. Finding something that fits into your daily schedule will help you keep up with it and you will be more likely to experience maximum results. Life is so hectic and busy, it is often easy to forget or lookover something as simple as washing you face.

Take all these factors into consideration when finding a treatment for your acne. Finding a solution isnt always easy, but by taking the right steps, you will be that much closer to clear skin!

Skin Care Products Help Treat the Health of Your Skin https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/skin-care-products-help-treat-the-health-of-your-skin/ Sat, 09 May 2009 06:06:20 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=572 Before you even begin to select skin care products, it’s important to know your skin type. You’ll either have normal, oily, dry or sun damaged skin. The type of skin you have will determine which skin care product is best for you.

The first step of a skin care regimen is cleansing. It’s important to find a good cleanser that your skin does well with, and stick to it. Once you find something that suits you perfectly, there’s no need to improve. Avoid bar soaps; they can dry out your skin. Really, you should only use soap for the neck on down. Save your face for cleansing moisturizers that are designed to enhance and treat the health of your skin.

Don’t cleanse too often, however. Just washing once at night should be plenty for optimal skin health.

Exfolliating your skin is the next step. Most people skip this step, but if you do it regularly, you will notice a refreshing difference. Scrubs remove the dead skin cells that tend to dull your complexion. When this layer is removed, your skin is healthy, fresh and vibrant. It can breathe better. Exfolliating once a week with a microdermabrasion will give it a healthy, natural glow year round. You’ll look younger because your skin will actually be made up of younger, fresher skin cells.

Definitely moisturize. Of all the skin care products, moisturizer is the most essential. Your skin’s beauty health depends on it. Even oily skin benefits from moisturizers.

When we take daily care of our skin, our faces will be younger and suppler, more youthful and healthy. Many makeup products are instilled with natural herbs and minerals that treat the health of your skin. It keeps you looking younger and more beautiful, because we know that fresh skin is healthy skin.

Beauty Care for Sensitive Skin https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/beauty-care-for-sensitive-skin/ Fri, 08 May 2009 01:54:18 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=567 If you’ve got sensitive and dry skin, you’re probably more prone to wrinkles, and getting older sure doesn’t help. If you have sensitive skin and are interested in beauty care, never wash your face with soap. Instead, use a cleansing milk bath. Never use hot or cold water. It will only further dry out your skin, if not cause it to break out in a rash.

It’s good to put a rich cream on your face. This sort of beauty care can help your skin retain moisture during the night, keeping it soft and supple, younger and smoother. A lack of proteins can further dry out your skin and increase its irritability, so it’s important to eat a diet rich in protein.

It’s very important to find out your skin type in order to know what best will work for glossy, smooth skin. If your skin type is oily, for example, you should opt for beauty products that are designed for oily skin. There are also products for dry skin, combination skin or normal skin.

Flawless beauty requires continual skin care. This means continual cleansing, toning and moisturizing, every day with occasional touch-ups throughout the day. Keeping the skin regularly clean is essential, as most blemishes result from dirty pores. It’s good to use a soap free wash or an exfoliator, but don’t use it too often as it can make your skin harsh.

It’s good to wash with cold water several times a day, as long as it’s not too harsh on sensitive skin. This will prevent an excess excretion buildup of oil. It’s especially important to use an exfoliator around the eyes. This may be the most sensitive spot, but it’s the spot that’s most likely to wrinkle.

Take care to treat your skin right. It’s the largest organ of your body and the first step to a beautiful image.

Skin and Beauty Care https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/skin-and-beauty-care/ Thu, 19 Feb 2009 15:56:58 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=453 Staying young with special skin beauty treatments

Like a rose gardener tending to the petals, if we care for our skin everyday, we’ll look and feel younger. The secret nobody tells you is that as you get older, it takes extra care in the treatment of your skin to maintain its youth. We all know older women who look much younger than their age. The secret is the special things we do to take care of our skin, tricks that maintain our beauty despite maturity. Skin beauty tips are like well kept secrets best shared between girls.

Wrinkles happen, but who has to know? By applying highlighter to your creases, your wrinkles virtually disappear with the added color. When it comes to skin beauty, a smooth, unblemished face suggests a feeling of youth. A little covering goes a long way.

Whatever you do, stay away from skin powder. While it may make the skin soft, it also accentuates wrinkles for that old lady look. Skin powder collects in the creases, forming a caked on look that makes the wrinkles more obvious, even deeper and stronger than your natural age suggests.

Use sunscreen every day. Don’t save it for the beach. Even in mild sunlight, the ultraviolet rays build up over time, parching and depleting your skin so it ages faster. Use a dab of sunscreen like you would any other makeup. Not only does it protect your skin against the sun, but many brands contain medicinal ingredients that enhance and treat your skin so it naturally feels younger.

Use a skin mask regularly to firm and tighten your skin with healthy skin tones. It helps your skin reflect natural light, countering shadows for a healthy, shiny look that appears youthful and bright. The mask works to cleanse your pores, giving your skin a clean healthy glimmer of natural beauty.

Use moisturizer regularly. It enhances your skin to make it supple, soft, and full of youth. It’s one way a girl can treat herself special all day long. A simple dab throughout the day not only makes your skin feel fresher, but you’ll feel newer too. A lady has the right to feel like a princess everyday, even in the stress and hustle of the professional world. A dab of skin cream is a simple pleasure, but it’s the little indulgences that bring joy to an otherwise dull routine.

We’re all going to age, but if we pay special attention to the beauty of our skin, we can grow old gracefully. As we get older, we need to take extra care of ourselves, using a variety of cosmetics and skin treatments to enhance and maintain the health and youth of our skin.

Cosmetics Reviews https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/cosmetics-reviews/ https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/cosmetics-reviews/#respond Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:35:54 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=331 Research the quality of your makeup through on-line cosmetics reviews:

Tired of spending good money on a reputed brand of makeup, only to realize you’ve wasted it because it’s comes too caked on, dries too fast or has an icky smell you never bargained for?

Cosmetics are an investment and it’s important to know that a particular product is a quality product before you buy it. Price tags are not a hint to performance, as anyone surely knows after paying top dollar for an expensive product that turns out to be gunk.

Luckily, girls, we live in the digital age. Thanks to the Internet, everyone is connected. Thankfully, you can take the hint on someone else’s dime, women love to discuss our favorite makeup brands, what works and what doesn’t. That means an unending supply of cosmetics reviews, many of them often written by consumers themselves who have no other stake in the product other than it makes them beautiful.

Let’s face it,  many cosmetics reviews are written by makeup companies and are full of appealing comments from people who don’t necessarily use the products as consumers. If we really want to test the value of a particular cosmetics brand, we need to hear from the women who actually use it. What were their experiences?

Did it make them look more beautiful, improve the complexion of their skin? There are many facets in makeup use that are inherent in the beauty of the product, many of which are never known until the product has been tried.

How long did the product last? How did it smell? How did it feel? What response did the consumer get from the people she met when she wore it? These are all important questions to be learned from the consumption of makeup, and answers can be told from the consumers themselves.

If there’s something about a particular cosmetic we don’t like, we’ll say so. Women talk, compare secrets, and evaluate products on the basis of how it genuinely performs.

If you read product reviews written by women who used the brand themselves (and aren’t getting paid), chances are you will get honest responses that can better help you make your decision in choosing the right brand.

We should never take our cosmetics at face value. Find out how it performs before you buy it. If you like a particular product, get on-line and share your enthusiasm through a product review.

If you suffered a disappointment with a particular makeup brand, let the Internet community know about it. Girls like to share secrets, especially when it comes to their makeup. So go ahead and get the inside scoop through the wide selection of reviews available on line.

Hypoallergenic Makeup: Reading the Ingredients Begins a Path to Discovery https://www.mycosmeticreview.com/skin-care-tips/hypoallergenic-makeup-reading-the-ingredients-begins-a-path-to-discovery/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 00:22:24 +0000 http://www.mycosmeticreview.com/?p=214 The problem with makeup allergies is we often aren’t even aware we have them. Acne, hives, and blemishes may be an allergic reaction to a product in a cosmetic. Often, we may suffer these and never make the connection back to the beauty products we are using.

If we continue to use these products, the acne, hives and blemishes persist, and we repeatedly suffer until the product has been discontinued. Sometimes discontinuing a favored cosmetic can bring great relief, the allergies disappearing just as readily as if they’ve been healed.

Luckily, however, in this day and age, being allergic to a certain color of cosmetic does not ban you from it for life. You can still enjoy the same colors your favorite makeup shades bring to your face. You just need to be more conscious about where those colors come from and what’s actually contained in their ingredients.

Hypoallergenic makeup designed for the sensitively allergic can provide you alternatives, rewarding you with a return to your favorite shades of cosmetics without suffering the allergic reactions that have pestered for so long.

But be forewarned, not all hypoallergenic makeup is all it cracks itself up to be! Because there are no government regulations of the industry, the term can be used loosely, becoming little more than a marketing technique, offering a nice spin on sales but little help for your sensitive skin.

There are many cosmetic brands on the market that claim to by hypoallergenic, while offering little to no relief, sometimes even continuing to contain the very ingredients that have caused you to suffer.

Common allergic culprits are contained in eyeliners, lip glosses, tanning and sunscreens, nail polishes and hair dyes. Allergens can also be found in the perfumes of skin creams, as well as the cocoa butter common in lip gloss. Metallic resins are common in eye liner and eye shadow.

hypoallergenic-cosmetics

Natural or organic cosmetics may not provide any needed relief. While the ingredients of organic makeup may be contracted through organically through animals, minerals and plants, your body may have a naturally allergic reaction to these substances.

When choosing a hypoallergenic makeup, peruse the ingredients carefully. As a demand has grown in the market, many companies are developing truly beneficial products devoid of the ingredients that can cause the allergies. Like you would before using any product on your body, carefully consult its label.

If an allergy persists, stop using the cosmetic and consult a doctor. Allergies come in all shapes and sizes, and narrowing down its particular nature may take some trial and error. By finding what’s right for you, you can enjoy you favorite cosmetics, healthy and allergy free.
