Tips to prevent hair from breaking

If you have a serious hair breakage problem, it means that your hair is brittle and weak.

So first, you have to check the shampoo that you are using. Discontinue your current shampooand go for one, which will help to strengthen your mane. Opt for products that are rich in proteins, which will help in the repairing process.

Sometimes, chemical products, constant heat styling or the use of hairsprays can cause a lot of damage to our hair and are the reasons why the hair can get dehydrated. Naturally, your hair is rendered weak and is prone to breaking. You need to replenish your hair's lost moisture. Choose a hair conditioner that is specific for rehydrating hair.

If you are having a vitamin deficiency, it could also affect your hair. Take vitamin E andsupplements especially for hair, after consulting your physician.

Hair can also break because of the hairstyle that you sport constantly. If you tie your up in a pony, with an elastic rubber band, there are chances that due to the tightly wound band, your hair is snapping. Consider changing your hairstyle and see the difference it makes to your hair health.

How to take care of oily skin

Not only does your oily skin make your face look unattractive and greasy, but it also leads to a host of problems like acne, blemishes etc. Here are a few ways you can take care of your skin 

Cleansing is important 

Keeping your skin clean is very important for people who have oily skin. Cleanse your skin at least two times in a day to stay clear of excess oil.Toning is also advisable after you've cleansed your skin. This little effort of yours will help varnish excess oil from your skin. 

Remember to apply a sunscreen 

The use of sunscreen is very important for those who have oily skin. This type of skin is extremely prone to pigmentation. Make sure you apply an SPF with minimum 20+ before you step out of your house. 

Do not apply too much make-up 

The use of make-up tends to spoil your skin. Thus make sure that you only use the basics. Instead of applying a liquid foundation, choose a compact instead. Mineral make-up is also great for those who have oily skin. 

Avoid oily foods 

It is best to avoid foods that have too much of oil in them. It tends to build the oil level in your body which in turn will make your skin look all the more greasy.

Shape eyebrows the right way

You can use a lot of eye makeup products on your lids and lashes. But bushy or unshapely eyebrows can kill the look.

Makeup artist Megha Puri suggests how to shape the eyebrows according to the face cut. Here are her tips:

Long face: Since the focus will be on shortening the length of the face, go for a thick straight one.

Round face: To complement facial features, a high arch shape will be apt.

Square face: It should not be overly arched. Make it softly curved.

Oval face: Keep the brows short to create the illusion of fuller cheeks.

Heart shaped face: Arched look is the best shape for this cut.

Face masks you can make at home

We suggest some simple and natural remedies for your face 

Vinegar
It's not just a cooking ingredient, vinegar's use as a skin toner probably dates back to the time ofHelen of Troy! For a glowing and gorgeous complexion, follow this small tip before you go off to bed: wash your face with one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar combined with two cups of water. It will cleanse and tighten your skin.

Lemon
Lemon is a natural exfoliator and cleanser. For fresh-looking skin, try this: Mix some lemon juice with olive oil or sweet almond oil and apply it on your face every alternate day.

Egg
Eggs make for great face packs. So, if you have dry skin, use an egg paste to moisturise. Separate the egg from the yolk and add a little lemon juice or honey to it. If you have oily skin, use only egg whites. If you are blessed with normal skin, use the entire egg. Keep the paste for 30 minutes and rinse it off.
Note: Do not use a face wash after rinsing it off.

Milk
Want to look fresh without spending too much effort and money? Try this: Make a paste of milk and honey and apply it on your face. Make sure that the paste is thick. Let it dry completely and then rinse with warm water. It will make your face fresh and rejuvenated.

Yoghurt
One of the best ways to brighten your skin — and also remove tan — is by using a face pack that contains yoghurt. If you are looking for a quick fix to tighten the pores, apply plain yoghurt on your face. Keep it on for 20 minutes and wash it off. For a revitalizing mask, mix yoghurt with some orange juice and aloe vera. Leave the mixture on your face for five minutes before washing it off.

Bananas
Who needs Botox when bananas can do the trick? Bananas moisturise your skin and leave it feeling and looking softer. Mash up a medium-sized ripe banana and smoothen it into a paste. Apply this gently on your face and neck. Keep it on for 10-20 minutes before you wash it off with cold water. If you want, add some honey and rose water to the mixture.

Mayonnaise
Why waste money on expensive serums when you can get the same results using mayonnaise? Gently apply a teaspoon of eggless mayonnaise on your face and keep it on for 20 minutes. Let it dry; then wipe it off and rinse with cool water. This will keep your skin clean and smooth.

How to highlight your eye with colour

The eyes are the windows to the soul. Highlighting your eyes is an easy way to brighten up your face. 

Some people want to highlight the colour of their eyes, but don't know which colour suit them the best. Before you apply any colour of eyeliner oreye shadow, apply some moisturizer on your eyelids so that the colour is retained for longer. 

Brown eyes: To make your eyes stand out, use purple eyeliner or eye shadow on your lids. The soft purple colour highlights the warm brown tone of the eyes. This eye colour is the easiest to compliment. Every shade suits brown eyes without making them look tacky. Chose a darker liner in the shade of eye shadow you have applied to give a subtler look. Earthy colours like green, grey, brown, blue and pink go well with this eye colour. Black eyeliner also gives the eyes a dramatic effect. If you want some shimmer, add some gold or brown metallic tones. They will make your eyes look more attractive.
Green eyes: Plum and burgundy colours highlight green eyes in the best way. These dark colours add a more dramatic effect to the light green of the eyes. Avoid using blues, pinks and whites as the light colour has the opposite effect with light green eyes. To add shine, bronze, gold and copper eye shadow colours can be used. It's better to opt for a brown liner over black.
Blue eyes: Warmer tones look best on blue eyes. Copper is one colour that enhances the blue tones of the eyes. To add shimmer, gold or bronze eye shadow can be used. Shiny pink shades can work too. Brown also enhances the blue of the eyes. Instead of using a black coloured mascara, it is advisable to use a brown one as this colour makes the lashes look more natural.
Grey eyes: They are the easiest to work with as they are not too dark and neither too bright. Almost all the colours go well with these eyes. Black eyeliner gives the eyes a more dramatic effect while lighter hues like brown copper, bronze etc, make the eyes look warmer and make them stand out more. Some of the colours that can be avoided are pink, white and yellow.
The smoky eye effect works with every eye colour. Smoky eyes especially at night look more glamorous and dramatic. The best eye shadow combination will be a mix of two or three colours that go well together. It is also important to choose shadow colours that go well with your skin tones. Also, you can choose more neutral shades for blush and your lip colour. This helps keep the focus on your eyes. It's important to try and see what works best for you, because what suits someone else might not suit you at all.

One White L-glutathione Capsule: Surprising and The Most Effective Glutathione!

by Grace Ong 

 

 

This is my first time to write about product reviews. The product that I am reviewing about is One White  L-Glutathione Capsule. The name is appealing since it has white word in it (like other brands that also has it). So it’s about a whitening capsule.

Upon seeing the capsule bottle It has a printed information in it. The company who made this is

One White Glutathione capsule has 60 capsules with the usual “no approved therapeutic claims”. Well, of course this is normal since it would take almost 10years to have a confirmed therapeutic effect. And the company probably is still testing for the actual claims on patients. It is clearly stated also that it is a soft gel capsule and a dietary supplement.

Moving on, One White glutathione capsule boosts a lot of ingredients that are essential to whitening or shall I call them the boosters.  The main content, glutathione, is at 750mg pretty higher content than other brands. This is interesting since most of the glutathione content found in the market today is only at 500mg or lesser.  It already has a subtle amount of vitamin c and silymarin both at 100mg on each capsule. Other helpful ingredients include marine collagen, alpha lipoic acid, silymarin, grapeseed oil extract CoQ10 and Hyaluronic acid.

(there are rumors spreading the derma world that this was used as a maintenance by sarah g! oh my)

After a little research and cross references, I’ve found out that these other boosters do provide great health effects on the body. So aside from whitening inside and out, you’ll get healthier and livelier.

 Marine Collagen (200mg)
                Marine Collagen is a material derived from the substance found on fish scales. It has been widely used in Japan for many years as a natural supplement. People who use marine collagen claim it has various benefits which include healthier bones and skin. Increased collagen in the body makes our body function more effectively. It is vital to healthy skin, hair, bones and joints. If you have lesser collagen on your body skin will become lose and wrinkled looking.  As an added bonus onewhite has marine collagen! Yes to healthier skin.

Silymarin (100mg)

                We all know silymarin is a famous ingredient now found on most of the vitamin supplements. Silymarin however is used to regenerate liver cells damaged by alcohol or drugs.  Silymarin also decongests the liver , this means that it stimulates bile flow from the liver to the gallbladder, this is essential for normal functioning of our liver and gallbladder (talk about gallstones yuck!). Silymarin also eats free radicals that can greatly damage our body. Silymarin works well with glutathione when detoxifying our liver and yes girls it is found in one white. As an added bonus silymarin also stimulates protein synthesis in the liver resulting in production of new liver cells.

Alpha Lipoic Acid (80mg)

                Alpha lipoic acid is an antioxidant that is made by the body and is found in every cell, where it helps turn glucose into energy. Antioxidants attack “free radicals”, waste products created when the body turns food into energy. These free radicals cause harmful chemical reactions that can damage cells in the body makig it harder for the body to fight off infections.  Alpha Lipoic Acid is fat and water soluble which means it can work throughout the body. They regenerate other anti-oxidants so that they can be used again. 80mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid found on every one white capsule means you are getting enough of it every capsule.

Grapeseed Oil Extract (50mg)

                There’s strong evidence that grape seed extract is beneficial for a number of cardiovascular conditions. Grape seed extract may help poor circulation and high cholesterol! It also reduces swelling caused by injury and helps with disease related to diabetes. Grapeseed also contains antioxidants. It is also documented that grapeseed can help alleviate PMS and skin damage.

CoQ10 (50mg)

                CoQ10 is said to help heart failure as well as cancer, muscular dystrophy and periodontal disease. So if you take one white you can have a healthier gums : ) It will also boost one’s energy and speed recovery from exercise. One white has this one? Cool!

Hyaluronic Acid

                Some people apply hyaluconic acid to the skin for healing wounds, burns, skin ulcers and as a good moisturizer. There are noticeable publications that suggest hyaluronic acid prevents effects of aging. Combining this with glutathione which helps detoxify and whitens your skin is an added benefit from one white L-glutathione capsule.

Usage:

My derma suggests taking two capsules per day of One White L-Glutathione Capsule per day. And if you are not after with the whitening effect you can take it once a day. It would take 30 days to consume one bottle of One White L-glutathione capsule for whitening and two months for detoxifying goal. So far today my skin is lighter than usual. I will upload pictures of myself here. (too bad my net is so slow today but please bear with me here)

Conclusion:
                I have tried many glutathione capsules and other food supplements in the past. But I haven’t come across to this food supplement that combines whitening and healthy compounds or ingredients at an affordable price! One supplier I contacted was John from Cebu Gluta Shop. They resell One White L-glutathione capsule at an even cheaper price! Thousand bucks lesser from my derma.
