Wax remover try: Baby oil or petroleum jelly to rid leftover wax on the skin. Be sure to then clean with water, you don't want this residue left on the skin.

Most Important youthful Tips

No heavy foundation.

You'll be tempted to cake on the cream to powder foundation but don't! Heavy makeup settles in tiny lines, exaggerating them. Instead, opt for light foundations that give good coverage, like mineral powders. Contrary to popular belief, mineral powder isn't like the sheer finishing powder that Grandma wore. Mineral powders do a great job of softening and covering your face.

Use a concealer one shade lighter.

Go light or go yellow! A yellow-based concealed hide’s age spots easily. If your skin can handle a yellow concealer, select a concealer that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Apply it before the foundation and don't worry about blending it into your skin, you'll be covering it anyways.

Don't go crazy with the mascara. 

Heavy, spider-leg mascara isn't flattering on anyone. Think Tammy Faye Bakker.

Wear skin-toned lipstick

Crazy, bold colors will grab attention but skin-toned lipsticks make you look younger. Try a cappuccino or sheer lipstick for a youthful makeup application.

Sweep on one or two eyes Shadows, 

not three or four. Getting complicated with the eye makeup is an old school technique. Don't do it. Keep it simple and attractive!

Skip gloopy glosses

Gloopy glosses only belong on teens. You don't want to try to look that young. If you want some shimmer, select a sparkling lip color.

Rub on creamy cheek color.

Just tab and rub. Keep it light and creamy looking.

Dash bronzing powder on your nose and forehead

Bronzers are true youth makers. Sweep bronzer across the cheeks, nose and forehead for a finishing touch.

Apply lifting creams before you wear makeup. 

Eye creams really do work, if you can find a good one. Apply eye lifting creams before

you apply your foundation. It's a real youth maker!

Easy Dandruff Treatment

Reason

1. Hormonal imbalance may be one cause of dandruff. This makes the body to release more dead skin in scalp.
2. Infrequent shampooing of the hair or inadequate rinsing of the scalp and hair may also be the cause.
3. Improper use of hair-coloring products or excessive use of hot hair curlers or curling irons.
4. Dandruff can be a manifestation of an allergic reaction to chemicals in hair gels, hair oils, or hair sprays.
5. It may be result of fungus called malassezia. Malassezia lives on the scalps of most healthy adults without causing problems. But sometimes it grows out of control, feeding on the oils secreted by your hair follicles and causing irritation that leads to dandruff.
6. Emotional tension or stress may also lead to the dandruff in hairs.

Indication

1. Dry skin: The dry skin may be the result of cold weather or room overheating. But flakes from dry skin are generally smaller and less oily than those caused by dandruff.
2. Contact dermatitis: the disease contact dermatitis may be the result of the dandruff in the hair. The red, itchy and scaling scalp is the symptoms.
3. Plaques may include the scalp, eyebrows, nose, forehead, or ears
4. Hair loss may also be associated with this disease.
5. Dandruff is white, oily-looking patches like on the scalp, which flake off.

Make well

1. Zinc pyrithione shampoos can be used to cure dandruff. These contain the antibacterial and anti-fungal agent zinc pyrithione, which has been shown to reduce the fungus that causes dandruff and seborrhea.
2. Coal tar, a byproduct of the coal manufacturing process, helps conditions such as dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis by slowing cell turnover.
3. The use of a teaspoon of fresh lemon juice for the last rinse, while washing the hair, is another useful remedy. This not only leaves the hair glowing but also removes stickiness and prevents dandruff.
4. The juice of snake gourd has been found beneficial in the prevention and treatment of dandruff.
5. Citrus fruits, bananas, dried, stewed, or tinned fruits should not be taken.
6. Anti-fungal shampoos containing ketoconazole work well for dandruff.
7. If dandruff or itchy scalp persists for 3 weeks or the scalp becomes irritated or severely itchy, seek advice from a doctor.

Healthy Teeth Tips

Clean your teeth after eating by toothbrush and dental floss. Use a correct toothbrush, and brush and floss correctly.
Visit the dentist regularly. Periodontal disease of gums is common in adults and in older people. The dentist can remove plaque from teeth, reducing the number of bacteria - a key to helping prevent tooth decay and gum disease. You can contact your local dental clinic to schedule your next appointment..Don't ignore gums that bleed when you brush or floss or changes in the way your teeth fit together when you bite.
Ask your dentist about cosmetic options for improving the appearance of teeth that are stained or chipped.
Don't use tobacco products; they can increase your risk of gum disease and cancer of the mouth and throat.
Don't chew on hard objects that could crack a tooth.
Wear a mouth guard when playing active sports.
Eat a balanced diet for good overall health, selecting a variety of foods from the five main food groups (bread, cereals, and other grain products; fruits; vegetables; meat, poultry, fish and alternatives; milk, cheese, and yogurt), and limit snacks.
Eating sweetened cereals dry is bad for teeth, always add milk.
Drinking frequent cups of tea or coffee with sugar added will increase the risk of teeth decay.
When less saliva is available on very hot days, one should not consume foods containing sugars that stick in the teeth.
Chewable vitamin C tablets with or without sugar are acidic and are a hazard for not only children's teeth but also to adult's teeth. Do not use lemon juice for whitening because vitamin C will cause the teeth to los

e calcium damaging teeth quicker than anything else.

Tips for Babies teeth

o Don't give babies a bottle containing milk, juice or a formula in bed, this is a not good for their teeth. The sugars from milk or juice around the mouth for long periods can lead to decay in a baby's little teeth.
o Prolonged breast feeding with small feeds every few minutes can also lead to tooth decay.

Lip Gloss Tips

a Want your lip gloss to stay on longer? Brush a dot of loose powder on lips first and then your lip gloss.

b. Want to create a fuller lip? Apply a dot of shimmer lip gloss over your lipstick. The lighter, shimmering colour will create the illusion of a fuller pout regardless of what lipstick colour you're wearing.
c. Have an eye gloss that just is not working for you? Use it as lip gloss. You’ll find that it can lasts even longer than your regular lip gloss.

d. In humid weather I found out that lip gloss fades super fast. To keep the look, apply a very matte lipstick in a light shade, blot, and powder, and then apply lip gloss (clear or shimmering) on top. You'll find that the colour and shine lasts hours longer because of the matte lipstick.
e. Want a shiny, glossy lipstick, without the drips? Apply your lipstick ON TOP of your clear lip gloss.The gloss will dilute and create a shiny color, and by applying the lipstick on top of the gloss, you won't get the glossy bleeding after you've worn it for 2 hours.
f. For longest wearing lipgloss, apply a nude lip pencil, or the new invisible lip pencils on your lips first. Then apply your lip gloss on top. This gives the lip gloss something to hold on to and lasts a few hours longer.

Lip Care Tips

Tips that help:
• Drink plenty of water, thoroughly hydrate your skin, including lips.
• Avoid harsh weather. If this is impossible, make sure you always protect your lips by applying a lip balm.
• Try using the lip balms regularly. If you wait until you have chapped lips, the recovery will take longer.
• Try not to lick your lips or remove the skin with your fingers. It irritates the skin, and slows down any efforts we invest in lip care.
• Make sure you take vitamin supplements. Often, cracks in the corner of the mouth indicate a deficiency of Vitamin B2.
Start off with a lip scrub recipe:
Ingredients
• 1 teaspoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of baking soda
• Olive oil
Mix honey and baking ingredients until the mass resembles a paste.
Apply the mix on your lips and leave it on for a couple of minutes.
Gently rub the lips.
Wash of with lukewarm water
Let the lips dry out and then apply olive oil. It will help the lips hydrate.
There is also a recipe that is very simple, too. Apply unsalted butter on your lips occasionally. That's it. It has the same effect as the olive oil.

How to get white skin

You can use lemon juice and cucumbers mixed with flour which makes it like a pasty facial mask-use a blender (the flour also has whitening effects)

• Almonds: These nuts are known for their anti-aging properties. They contain a lot of vitamin E and have a high amount of fatty acids that help to keep your skin supple. Almonds also contain antioxidant selenium. Do not too many of them as they will add calories. A handful is enough.
• Protein: To keep nails strong and moisturized by eating plenty of protein. Protein helps in the build up of keratin. Keratin is the substance that makes up nails. Skinless, boneless chicken breast, lean turkey, tuna and beans are rich in proteins.
• Vitamin B: Food that is rich in vitamin B makes your hair shiny. Important sources of this vitamin are eggs, milk, green vegetables and poultry. Silica is important to keep your hair elastic, shiny and healthy. Raw oats, cucumber skin, onions and bean sprouts are rich in this mineral.
• Fish: Eating oily fish like salmon that contain omega-3 fatty acids will help hydrating and nourishing skin.
• Zinc and Calcium: Both these minerals help in eradicating pimples. Zinc is found in oysters, turkey, seafood, eggs and milk. Calcium is no doubt good for your bones, but helps in clearing your skin too. Calcium rich foods like skim milk, low-fat cheese and yogurt. These foods not only remove pimples but reduce wrinkles as well.
• Vitamin C: Vitamin C helps in the buildup of collagen, which reduces wrinkles. When your skin has more collagen your skin retains its elasticity and wrinkles take longer to form. Kiwi fruit is the best source of vitamin C. Other good sources are oranges, mango, honeydew and papaya.
• Vitamin E: Vitamin E is known to ease the swelling and redness associated with sunburns. Swelling causes the stretching of skin that in turns leads to wrinkle formation. Eat plenty of peaches and blueberries to increase the buildup of vitamin E in your body.
• Vitamin C and Iron: Vitamin C and iron together help to reduce the dark circles under your eyes. Eat skinless chicken and red, yellow and orange peppers. These are rich in both and will help in reducing dark circles.

Care of Hand & Nail

DO's
• Wear rubber gloves lined with cotton when your hands are in contact with harsh soaps, detergents or chemicals.
• Wear gloves when doing work that might damage the hands or nails, such as gardening or shovelling snow.
• After washing your hands, pat dry and, while moist, use a moisturizer on the hands, cuticles and nails. Chemically enhanced moisturizers that contain urea of lactic acid are even more efficient in binding water to the skin (Uremol, Calmurid, Lachydrin, Lacticare).

• If your hands must be in and out of water frequently apply a silicone or a similarly based protectant film that sheds water over the hands and nails (Prevex, Atrixo, Barriere Cream).
• If nails darken despite good cleansing habits, a drop of lemon oil massaged twice weekly into thenail plate may work but must not be overdone or irritation of the surrounding skin and drying of the nail plate may occur.
• Nail polish protects the nail from stains, physical trauma, and acts as a barrier to chemicals. Use it but don`t overuse it or it may stain and dry nails, particularly if nail polish hardeners are used frequently. A base coat will allow your polish to last longer.
• If your nails are dry, soak them for 10 minutes twice daily in warm water, pat dry and immediately apply one of the chemically enhanced moisturizers that contain urea, lactic acid or glycerin oil.
• Sculpt and shape your nails by filling in one direction with a very fine file. Avoid vigorous up and down or back and forth motions which may tear apart the various layers of the nails. Avoid sharp angles. Attend to small cracks, snags and breaks immediately.
• Treat yourself to a weekly manicure if possible; it is relaxing and keeps the nails healthy looking and attractive. Do not forget your toenails!
• As they age, the nails thicken, grow more slowly, repair poorly and are susceptible to various skin diseases. Watch for changes and see your dermatologist early enough to treat problems.
