Health tips for better life

commits a beauty mistake one time or another but some commit them more than do others.  Don’t fret because a lot of these common beauty mistakes are easily remedied by a few tricks of the trade. You don’t have to go to a beauty salon every time and get your beauty emergency fixed by a professional stylist in landau scrubs. In times of economic recession, you have to go at it DIY most of the time and save yourself a handful of bucks in the process.  Two of the most common beauty mistakes have to do with the eyebrows and lips. Below are some helpful tips for getting gorgeous eyebrows and lips.  

Fixing nightmare brows

Eyebrows shape the face and can do a lot to improve your appearance; when done right that is. When done wrong, it could spell disaster and make your face look asymmetrical or just plain weird.  A lot of people get their eyebrows done by a professional because it can be difficult to make both eye brows symmetrically balanced on one’s own; the tendency is to over-pluck.  Eyebrow hairs grow fast so going to a beauty salon once a week just to get it done is overly impractical, sinfully indulgent almost, considering the economic recession.  It is advisable to go to a local beauty salon to get it done professionally, but only to get your brows shaped right. After that, you can simply pluck the stray hairs that grow everyday from then on and only get it done professionally again after a few months or so.  It is best to get yourself a magnifying mirror so that you can see stray hairs clearly.  Stray hairs can stick out like a sore thumb—to get a clear face and appearance there should be no visible trace of stray hairs and you can only really achieve this with the help of a magnifying mirror.  You can also buy brow kits, which come with stencils so that you can make sure that the arch of your eyebrows is in the right place.  Use tweezers instead of a razor as it is easier to commit mistakes with a razor.      

Putting life back to your lips

Luscious lips can gather attention right away, especially when the person is talking.  Chapped lips are a major turn-off but one that is easy to remedy. After brushing your teeth, make sure to brush your lips gently too, with water; you don’t have to use toothpaste for your lips (make sure you have a soft-bristled toothbrush).  This will condition your lips and slough off dead skin cells, and also make you lips seem healthier, plumper. Use a lip balm instead of a lip gloss to make your lips seem more natural.  Glossy lips only make you look like you are drooling or that you just ate something oily.  It can be hard to choose a lip color that best suits you. The color usually changes from one person’s lips to another’s. Pick two contrasting shades (a light one and a dark one) and blend in both shades to achieve your desired color. Avoid shades that are too pink, to red, or too orange as it can make your teeth appear yellow.             

Eyebrows are tricky creatures. Eyebrow is one of the most important parts to beauty. Eyebrow is an area of coarse skin hairs above the eye that follows the shape of the brow ridges. Eyebrows also have an important facilitative function in communication, strengthening expressions like surprise or anger. Eyebrows also prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing a more sensitive sense for detecting objects being near the eye, like small insects. The main function of the eyebrows is to prevent moisture, mostly salty sweat and rain, from flowing into the eye, an organ critical to sight. The typical curved shape of the eyebrow (with a slant on the side) and the direction in which eyebrow hairs are pointed, make sure that moisture has a tendency to flow sideways around the eyes, along the side of the head and along the nose. The slightly protruding brow ridges of modern humans could also still play a supporting role in this process. Together with the eyebrows, the brow ridges also shade the eyes from sunlight. It is common for people to pluck their eyebrows to maintain a clean and fashionable appearance with the use of tweezers and waxing. Both of these methods can be painful due to the sensitivity of the area around the eye but often this pain decreases over time as the individual becomes used to the sensation.

Some people claim that after they’ve been plucking/waxing their eyebrows for a few months, they become totally immune to the pain. Eyebrow threading is an ancient method of hair removal that is still used in parts of the Middle and Far East. Thin, twisted cotton threads are rolled over untidy hairlines, mustaches and so on, plucking the offending hair. Due to growing popularity in Western countries, threading is now found being performed in beauty salons. Like other methods of hair removal such as plucking or waxing, threading can result in skin irritation and ingrown hairs. Trichotillomania (TTM), or “trich” as it is commonly known, is an impulse control disorder characterized by the repeated urge to pull out scalp hair, eyelashes, beard hair, nose hair, pubic hair, eyebrows or other body hair. Trichotillomania is classified in the DSM-IV as an impulse control disorder that is not elsewhere classified under another axis or disorder. It is classified in this manner to control diagnoses of TTM. It is an Axis I disorder. Unibrow or monobrow presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that they seem to converge to form one long eyebrow.

Steps of Perfect Eyebrow Shape

1.The perfect eyebrow starts above the inside corner of your eye (over the tear duct), and ends at the outside corner, above your eyelashes.

2.Trim your eyebrows. This will make a big difference in helping you look younger. Once eyebrows reach a certain length they start losing pigments at the ends.

3.Take an eyeliner pencil and place it vertically against your nose. It should run from the side of the nose, mid-mouth, and by the tear duct of the eye. This is wear your eyebrow should start; any hair that is visible beyond the pencil should be tweezed.

4.Next place the pencil diagonally where it should hit the middle of the mouth, nostril, and outside the iris of the eye. This is wear your arch is. Tweeze a gradually line from the arch to the start of the eyebrow.

5.Determine the end of the eyebrow, place the pencil diagonally across to his the opposite corners of the mouth, nostril, and outside corner of the eye. Any hair that goes past should be tweezed.

6.Place your pencil horizontal from the start of the eyebrow to the end of the eyebrow. The pencil should create a perfect straight line.

8.The biggest mistake people make is to tweeze too much. Avoid overplucking as it can take months for brows to grow back. Here’s a simple trick to remember:

9.Brow shade should be about two shades lighter than hair color for olive or dark skinned women and two shades darker than hair color blondes or women with grey hair.
