Choosing make up for oily skin

November 14, 2010  //  Posted by: cooldude  //  Category: Beauty & Skin Tips

Oily skin is the most prone to acne. And quite a number of people with oily skin avoid wearing makeup because they feel it will worsen their acne. However, this is not right and if you choose your make up correctly then you will do just fine.

Firstly, before purchasing any makeup read the labels carefully.  Stay away from makeup that contains extra moisturizer or oil. Oil free makeup is the best for oily skin. If you are looking for a foundation go in for a one with matte finish. A foundation with a dewy look will not work for oily skin. The dewy look will make your skin oilier.

If you want to purchase eye shadows and blush opt for the powdered ones. Avoid cream based makeup as they will mix with the oil in your skin and cause the makeup to smear. Try to stick to oil free powders always.

A daily Vitamin E rich moisturizer is good for you. Take extra care and get rid of your skin problems.

Importance of exfoliation in skincare

November 26, 2009  //  Posted by: Beauty Specialist  //  Category: Beauty & Skin Tips, Skin Care

nullThe practice of exfoliation is credited to the ancient Egyptians. Exfoliation is a skin care treatment of removing dead cells from the skin. Our skin encounters millions of germs and dust particles every moment. Our immune system renders them harmless but they get deposited on the skin. Here, exfoliation comes useful in cleaning the skin.

Exfoliation helps regain the charm and beauty of the skin as the layer of dead skin cells masks the originality of the skin and the skin appears to be dry and rough. It also becomes a breeding place for acnes and pimples, if not exfoliated regularly.

The removal of epidermis through exfoliation gives vent to the growth of new inner dermis layer which is tender and fresh. Not only this, exfoliation also removes tanning and unwanted hair on special skin areas like face and hands.

Exfoliation is done through fruits and natural scrubs as well as some chemical compounds like crystals and pumice stone.
