A hairstyle affect your whole appearance, not just that of your face. When choosing a new hairstyle you should take into account your overall body shape. If you are a traditional pear shape, don’t choose an elfin hairstyle; it will draw attention to the lower half of your body, making your hips look wide. Petite women should avoid masses of very curly hair as this makes the head appear out of proportion with the rest of the body.

• If you wear glasses: Try to choose frames and a hairstyle that compliment each other. Large spectacles could spoil a neat, feathery cut, and very fine frames could be overpowered by a large voluminous style. Remember to take your glasses to the salon when having your hair restyled so that your hair stylist can take their shape into consideration when deciding on the overall effect.
• Prominent nose: Choose a hairstyle that incorporates softness into your appearance. A wispy fringe would work well, and a light perm would add height and movement, to balance out your face.
• Pointed chin: you need to style your hair with plenty of width at the jawline.Don’t have your hair cut too short.
• Low forehead: Choose a style with a wispy fringe, rather than one with a full fringe. Choose softer style and avoid anything too severe.
• High forehead: This is best hidden with mid-length fringes.
• Receding chin: Select a hairstyle, that comes just below the chin level, ideally with lots of waves or curls around your shoulders.
• Uneven hairline: A fringe should easily manage to conceal this problem.

Your hairstyle has a big influence on your appearance, so be honest with yourself and take a critical look in the mirror before choosing a new style.

Anyone who has acne, knows what a distressing condition it is. As well as being a problem that runs in families, it is thought to be triggered by a change in hormones during adolescence, which results in more sebum being produced by your skin.

Exfoliate: Mix together a tablespoon of plain yogurt, a few drops of honey and a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Rub the mixture gently over your face to exfoliate and get rid of dead skin. This procedure will make your skin glowing. Rinse well.

Face Mask: If you have dry skin, mash up a quarter of avocado with two tablespoons of honey and an egg yolk. Spread it over your face ( avoiding your eyes) and leave for about fifteen minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Eyes: To get rid of dark circles around eyes, cut a fresh fig in half and place the halves over your eyes for 15 minutes while lying on your bed and relaxing. For tired eyes, enjoy the cooling effect of rose water cotton pads. Aloe vera juice is also very soothing so you can mix rose water and aloe vera juice.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids( AHAs) have recently become a key ingredient in specialized skincare products. AHAs have become the biggest skincare invention of the past twenty years. Many women find AHA cosmetics dramatically improve the condition and look of their skin. Alphe Hydroxy Acids, also commonly known as fruit acids, are found in natural products such as, citric acid from citrus fruits, lactic acid from sour milk, tartaric acid from wine, and malic acid from apples and other fruits.

Without even realizing the exact reasons for their improved skins, women have used AHAs for centuries. Cleopatra is saod to have bathed in sour asses’ milk, and ladies of the French court applied wine on their faces to keep their skin smooth, supple and blemish free-both these ancient beauty acids are now known to contain AHAs.

How do AHA work: AHAs work by breaking down the protein bonds that hold together the dead cells on the surface of the skin. AHAs then lift them away and reveal the brighter, plumper cells underneath. This gentle process cleans and clears blocked pores, improves your skin tone and softens the look of fine line. You should start to see results within a couple of weeks.

AHA cosmetics are best used under your ordinary moisturizer as a treatment cream. You should avoid applying them to the delicate eye and lip areas. If you have very sensitive skin, like me you may find they are not suitable for you, but some women experience a slight tingling sensation at first anyway, as the product gets to work.

A word of warning: The glycolic peels which use alpha hydroxy acids are to be used under the supervision of a trained and eperienced cosmetologist, who knows exactly how much percentage of AHAs is needed for your skin. AHAs used in chemical peels, can turn the skin in bad shape. The best way to use AHas is as I said earleir, with moisturizer as a treatment cream.
