Beauty and Women's all secret thing women should follow:
There are some certain secret of women's beauty. Every women should to follow the secret things.
Shampoo and Conditioning
Before beginning your shampoo and conditioner routine,
massage a quarter size dollop of coconut oil into your hair. Leave the oil in
for ten minutes before returning to your shampoo and conditioner routine. The
oil will leave your hair feeling noticeably softer.
Lipsticks
Long lasting lipsticks can be tough to remove. When you’re
in a bind and don’t have any make-up remover handy, head over to the kitchen!
You can put some sweet almond oil on a cotton ball and say goodbye to that long
lasting lipstick.
Lips Care
One of the best ways to get naturally pink lips is to
regularly exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush. All you need to do is dampen a
soft-bristled toothbrush and gently rub your lips using small circular motions.
This sloughs off dead skin and stimulates blood flow to the lips, making them
soft and pink.
Foot Care
Fill a foot basin with cold mint tea and ice cubes. Soak
your tired feet in this bath for a few minutes. The mint will cool and relax
your muscles helping release the tension and relieve discomfort
Oily Skin
If
you have oily skin and are prone to acne, be careful about what sunscreen you
apply to your face. Use an oil free brand that is non comdogenic and dries soft
to the touch, instead of feeling greasy and moist like other brands.
Face Wash/Cleanse
Face wash is inter-related
with your skin care. And skin is the root beauty of women. So you should remain careful about your skin
all time. I mentioned here 5-steps-of Skin Care.
The 5 steps
of skin care routine can make you more beautiful ever you were.
Step 1: Double Cleansing
Thoroughly cleanse
your skin with makeup remover and cleanser before going to sleep. Never ever go
to sleep with your makeup still on!
Have you heard of
Cleansing Oil? It is washable oil that is emulsified with water to quickly
remove all makeup, grease and dirt.
Step 2: Massage & Mask
Facial massage is the
secret to glowing skin. Apply a massage pack or cream and massage your face.
You could even use a gentle scrub. It is exercise for your skin.
A facial massage
improves blood circulation and is a great stress reliever!
Facial massages also
stimulate the flow of oxygen and nutrients to improve the elasticity of your
skin. The skin temperature rises; opening pores and pushes out the dirt
embedded deep within the skin. Your skin will look visibly fresher, younger and
glows after a massage.
Incorporate a facial
massage into your beauty regime at least 2 – 3 times a week for visible
results.
A word of caution for
those with acne or oily skin, massaging will agitate the oil glands and
increase oil secretion. So refrain from massaging.
On the days you do
not indulge in a facial massage, apply a mask on your face. There are many
types of masks out there in stores, but the two that are most important are
clarifying mask (deep cleanses the skin) and moisture mask.
Facial masks should
be applied 1 – 2 times a week, after cleansing and preferably at night.
Step 3: Tone
Some might think that
toners are useless. But toners actually remove dead skin cells and residue from
cleansers. Choose a toner that is suitable for your skin type.
Step 4: Essence/serum
Essence or serums are
very light, liquid concentrated treatments to correct skin problems. Essence is
easier absorbed and penetrates deep into your skin, better than regular moisturizers.
For best results, wait 5 minutes after applying serums before applying your
moisturizer to allow maximum absorption. Because of their concentrated affects,
serums are generally more expensive.
Step 5: Moisturize
Choose a moisturizer
suitable for your skin and use it diligently
You should follow
carefully the above 5 steps for your skin care.
Morning Protection
Now I will discuss about Morning Protection. I discussed here 7 steps
for your morning protection.
Step 1: Cleansing
In the morning, only a one-step cleansing is enough with a cleanser. If you have used an overnight treatment or sleeping mask the night before, just rinse your face with warm water to benefit from the effects of the sleeping masks/treatment the night before. While washing, take this opportunity to massage your face while washing. Don’t forget to wash your ears too! They are part of your face too and contain pressure point that is connected to the ENTIRE body! Pull your earlobes downwards, sideways and upwards. This will help in blood circulation which will help improve your complexion. End it by ‘pinching’ lightly all parts of your ear.
Step 2: Toning
If possible, use the ‘3 second rule’ while applying your toner. You literally have 3 seconds to moisturize your skin IMMEDIATELY after cleansing (you have 2 seconds to dry your face after washing! Just gently pat your towel on your face. You don’t have to dry the entire face completely. To save time, before cleaning your face, un-screw your toner, therefore after drying your face, you can apply the toner right away with your hands). While you’re washing your face, your pores open up.
After 3 seconds, the moisture level drops only a few percent. But after 30 seconds, it’s 50%. And after a minute, it’s down to 41%. If you don’t get your moisturizer on within the 3 seconds, your skin dries up and the aging process kicks in. Some brands like Sulwhasoo & DaalStory start off the toning step with a pretreatment serum, then continues with a normal toner. This is because these pre-treatment serum follow the Asian skincare rule: apply water based products first, then oil based.
Pre-treatment essence usually consists of smaller molecules therefore they are applied first before applying products of bigger molecules. The pre-treatment essence or known also as boosters restores moisture loss during cleansing, and eases and maximizing the penetration of the following skincare products. Toners usually act as ‘skin softeners’ which are designed to soften the skin’s outermost layer to optimize the absorption of further moisture and treatment ingredients. In western skincare, Toners are marketed to be used to wipe off excess dirt and to tighten the pores using cotton pads or wool. In Asian Skincare, we already have a two step cleansing method therefore it is always Recommended to use your hands to apply your toner, and no need to waste them on cotton pads.
Step 3: Treatment
In this step, essence
/ serum / ampoules are used. They consists of high concentration of key
ingredients to treat the deeper layers of the epidermis. Textures can vary:
from liquid, to gel type texture, to emulsion type texture and some even have a
cream like texture. Essence is just more a liquid form of a serum. The most
concentrated of the 3 items are ampoules.
They are also usually
more expensive than serums and essence.Because the molecules
in a serum are much smaller and more concentrated than those in a regular
moisturizer, serums are able to target concerns, such as dark spots and fine
lines, many layers beneath the skin's surface. By adding a serum to your daily
skin care system (after toner, before moisturizer), you can more precisely and
powerfully treat underlying damage.
Step 4: Moisture
Lock
In this step,
emulsions and/or creams are used to seal the skin and lock moisture, preventing
moisture from escaping. If you have oily skin, emulsions are a better option.
In Korean skincare, they are usually used together. Creams usually costs much
more than emulsions as they are more emollient and concentrated and they are
better in retaining moisture. Ultimately, the Koreans call their emulsion as a
‘lotion’, but in Japanese skincare, lotion is usually the toner.TIP: Warm the
cream with your hands before applying it on your skin as your skin will absorb
warm products easily. Ultimately, after applying your cream, rub your hands
until they are warm and place them on your face. The heat will deliver
nutrients easily into the skin, as well as making absorption easier. TIP: When
applying toner, serum and emulsion – to maximize absorption use your fingers and
continuously pat your skin (as if playing the piano).
Step 5: Specific
Treatment
In Step 5, specific
treatments like wrinkle fillers, spot treatments, etc are used to treat
specific skin problems.
Step 6: Sun
Protection
Here a sun care product
is used to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays all year long. It depends
if you want to use a sunscreen or a makeup base as most makeup base contains UV
protection these days. In Asian Skincare, we are obsessed with protecting our
skin from the sun, therefore there is a large array of sun-care products: from
sun creams, to sun pacts, to sun powders.
Use whatever that is
convenient and suits your skin type.
Step 7: Porcelain
Skin
Continue on with your
BB Creams / Foundations and lastly loose powder if you use them.
It is proven
scientifically that most BB Creams / Foundation do not contain
Enough UV protection
therefore it is always advised to apply sun protection before BB Creams /
Foundation.
Night Therapy
The night skincare routine is to nurse your tired skin,
repair damage, etc. The night skincare routine is the most important because
your skin heals itself when you sleep and it is important that moisture is
sealed so it doesn’t escape while you’re sleeping. A good night skincare
routine will pay-off when you wake-up in the morning! And if it is possible
shake your foot heels with the mint leaf just with the ice-cubes. It will
refresh your skin as well as it will remove your skins derivatives and
tiredness as a result your blood circulation will remain enough good. And that
will be useful for the beauty of your external skin.
Step 1: Double Cleansing
A double-step cleansing method is used to help remove
make-up, sunscreens, and powders effectively. Usually, a make-up remover that
is oil based is used first. Cream cleansers (if you have dry skin ) or foam
cleansers are used in the second step.
Step 2: Exfoliation
Scrubs are used at least every 10 days or once a week
depending on your skin type. The skin has a shredding cycle of 28 days, but the
dead cells can remain there longer if metabolism is slow. Exfoliating helps
remove the dead cells. There are a huge variety of exfoliating products : from
physical scrubs with contains grains ( not recommended for those with sensitive
thin skin ), or chemical scrubs which are more gentle ( for example : Charmzone
Control Cream are great exfoliaters which do not irritate the skin ). You can
also use ‘peeling gels’ which are also exfoliates and very popular in South
Korea.
Step 3: Massage Cream
Though a very important step, many women skip this step
because it is too troublesome and time consuming. Massaging in Asian Culture
helps to make sure the healthy flow of ‘Qi’ – the vital energy or life energy.
Facial massage gently stimulates the nervous system to increase blood circulation,
reduce and prevent wrinkles, repair and balance the condition of the skin,
minimize the ageing process. Most Asian Brands have their own Massage Cream.
Step 4: Masks
Precondition your skin with toners before applying your
mask. Sheet masks are probably the most popular type of masks in Asian
Skincare. They are used 1-2 times a week, or when you need a ‘quick fix’. You
do not need to wash your face after applying the mask to benefit from
concentrated essence of these masks. Carry on with the normal skincare routine.
Do not confuse this step with Sleeping Masks. They are not the same. Sleeping
Masks are meant to be applied overnight. According to your skin type – use a
suitable mask. Clay masks for oily skin, peel-off masks for dull lifeless skin,
wash-off mask for dehydrated skin etc., Note: If you are using a peeling mask (such
as the Whoo Brightening PeelOff, or the Sulwhasoo Clarifying Mask etc) , apply
the peel-off mask only after the emulsion step. This is very important to
protect the skin!
Step 5: Skincare
Follow the normal steps as above.
You can finish off with ‘Sleeping Masks’ which are now quite a trend in Asia.
They are like treatment creams which can be used daily, or
1-2 a week
