The Acne and the Magic of Cosmetics

Beauty Tips, Facial

Acne especially on your face looks really ugly and above all very depressing. In order to hide the acne under make up you need to follow the following make up tips which will hide the acne and give you a natural looking beautiful skin.

First of all, before applying makeup especially on acne problem area, be careful in moisturizing it well. Be very careful since moisturizing your face along with Problem areas “together” can spread it. So it’s better to use spot to spot technique of moisturizing. It’s like applying little amount of moisturizer to your acne separately and let it absorb it. Now acne is ready to be covered with foundation base.

Remember that avoid darker shades of foundation while your face is having acne. Pick up good quality foundation base of lighter color as that of your skin complexion. Apply it to your face and to the acne with less pressure since if you apply foundation with pad and with greater pressure then the acne may got torn and it can make the matter more serious. Be sure that you have hid the acne under firm layer of foundation.

We recommend you to use mineral liquid foundation since they have formulated with no chemicals but the naturals minerals which can not only hide skin imperfections like acne but they can also fix them. Now you can pad face powder on it. Another make up tip of hiding the acne and looking good in natural way is to pick the warm colors for your make up. Like if you are having acne and you are doing make up with slightly colder colors then it can make them more visible. Pick warm colors like pink, brown, light brown and red. They will make your face acceptable in regard to acne.

This is making up part, but if you want to remove acne forever then you have to give it time. Like you can consult your doctor. There are many ointments which have some formula of doing the damage control. You have to adopt them too in order to be gorgeous in a natural way.

Rain-forest solutions for dry hair

Rain-forest solutions for dry hair

By SARAH STACEY (Beauty Magazine)

Flat Lackluster haystack-dry hair is one of the most common problems I get asked about. So I was intrigued when a reader wrote to me rhapsodizing about a hair care brand called Ojon, based on rare nut oil only found in the Central American rainforests of Honduras and Nicaragua. ‘My hair is very fine and looks quite thin, but using the Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment – a solid that turns into an oil when you warm it in your hands – plus the thickening shampoo and conditioner, has made it look thicker and very shiny. Even my hairdresser remarked what good condition it’s in.

My dry-haired colleague Victoria is a great fan too: ‘The best shampoo I’ve ever used,’ she told me. Recently, I met Denis Simioni, the ‘crazy Canadian’ founder of Ojon, who told me about the extraordinary genesis of the range. In 1999, a relative from Honduras brought Simioni, who was then heading an advertising agency near Toronto, a little jar of brown paste – the ojon oil. ‘It just sat in my bathroom until one hot Saturday, two years later, when the whole family decided to have a hair party and try it. We all had really dry hair, partly due to chemicals in the swimming pool. The results of just one application were instant – and incredible.’ It was the start of an Indiana Jones-like quest for Simioni to find the source of ojon oil. Through the internet, he discovered that ojon nuts have been used for more than

500 years by the Miskito Indians (whose nickname, Tawira, translates as ‘the people with beautiful hair’). Simioni flew to Tegucigalpa; the town where his original jar had been bought, chartered a single-propeller plane and after a five-hour flight landed on a dirt road in the jungle. A two-hour hike, followed by a five-hour trip alone in a wobbly, hand-carved canoe across a shark-infested lagoon, brought him to one of the Tawira villages. ‘I looked on the bank and saw a little girl in red shorts braiding a boy’s hair and thought, “This has to be it.” ’ About 200 villagers lined up to meet him. ‘They wore their hair up in buns,’ he says, ‘but when I asked about the Tawira name, they unraveled it for me and I saw the most beautiful hair – very long, healthy and hydrated. They’re the only indigenous group in that area that don’t [need to] wear hats. Instead they apply ojon oil daily, from the day a baby’s born – it’s their own intensive treatment.’ (Later, clinical trials showed that one 20-minute application of Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment dramatically improved the condition of dry, damaged hair by 52 per cent; if it’s left on overnight, the figure goes up to 64 per cent.) Over the next few years, Simioni trialed different formulas of ojon oil in Canada and established an enduring relationship with the Tawira and a local non-profit group, Mopawi, dedicated to promoting sustainable development. The nuts are still harvested – and the oil extracted – by hand, each tree giving just four litres of oil a year. It provides a steady source of income for the Tawira families involved, and they’re consulted on everything from product development to marketing. The Ojon corporation, now part of the Estée Lauder empire, also funds initiatives to help protect the environment in Honduras and preserve the traditional lifestyle. ‘I truly believe I was chosen to go there and create a business for them.
