For You

What can be used both as an efficient sunscreen lotion and underarm deodorant? Surprisingly, it’s the coconut oil. This multipurpose wonder oil is an antioxidant and can do real wonders to your skin. Experts believe coconut oil may help restore more youthful-looking skin. It helps protect your skin from the ageing effects of free radicals, and can help improve the appearance of skin with its anti-aging benefits.

Whatever coconut oil can do for your hair, it can do for your skin. It is confirmed to delay wrinkles and sagging of skin, on all skin types. It is also known to have excellent properties that help treat various skin problems like psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections. In India, coconut oil has been for long, used as pre-massage oil. Every family in India has a tradition of a luxurious oil bath. Above all, it is natural oil.  

Coconut oil is a great after-bath moisturizer. When applied on damp skin, it locks in the moisture. Regularly moisturizing the skin with pure coconut oil after bath is an excellent solution to dry, flaky and itchy skin. And unlike most lotions, coconut oil has really long lasting effects, imparting a healthy shine to the skin. Removing the outer layer of dead skin, coconut oil penetrates into the layers and strengthens the skin. ‘When there’s no time for n oil massage daily, add a few drops of coconut oil to your bath water for a lovely moisturizing effect.’

1. Pick the right shade: Test the lipstick on your fingertip – you can hold the color nest to your face to see how it looks. Your finger is closer to you lip color that the back of your hand!
2. Get buff: Caked lipstick is just not pretty. Exfoliate your lips with a soft wet toothbrush (be gentle) when you brush your teeth every morning. The lipstick will glide on smoothly.
3. Fill in the fine lines: Fine lines around your lip line develop the fastest and are the most difficult to treat. Tackle them with make-up – coat your lips with a lip balm, going slightly outside your lip line, before applying color. This way, your lipstick won’t travel.
4. Longer-lasting lipstick: You’d like your color to last through lunch and yet you don’t like the dry feel of long wear lipsticks. Apply a coat of regular lipstick, then press with a tissue and powder lightly (over the tissue) with a puff or brush. This sets the color and prevents running and feathering. This will turn your lipstick matte, so post-lunch, use a gloss.
