BEAUTY KLINIC

Although both exfoliators and masks are usually made of natural ingredients, masks are generally smooth in texture. They are also made of several different things, such as plant, milk, fruit or citrus based products, as well as clay, and the ever popular mud mask. The concentrated consistency of masks gives an immediately noticeable result.

What do they do?

According to the author, Andi of www.andibradshaw.com the purpose of a mask is to produce a polished, healthy more vibrant result that will enable your skin care products to glide on and penetrate with ease. Masks can calm or stimulate your skin, but if you have concerns about acne or rosacia, etc., stick to masks for sensitive skin. This type mask will be gentler to all skin types.

- If you have Dry skin, you’ll need a mask that hydrates and moisturizes (adds oil and water) after cleansing, to alleviate that flaky, dry, tight feeling. Look for masks that contain milk proteins, oils, amino acids, buttermilk, or lanolin the intensity of these ingredients are designed to provide a mixture that will infuse those really dry skin cells with extra hydration. The re-hydration of those dry cells will minimize the look of shallow wrinkles or fine lines.

-Normal/Combination skin needs a mask that addresses dull, tired skin that lacks that vibrant, healthy look. For this type, masks usually contain ingredients like eucalyptus, menthol, or peppermint which stimulates the skin, while sloughing off the dead skin cells and dirt. Often peel-off or hardening masks contain the stimulating effects of the above ingredients. These produce a pleasant tingling that revives and invigorates the skin, leaving it healthier looking.

-Oily skin requires a clay, deep cleansing or mud mask. These types all draw out or absorb the excess oils, dirt and impurities from facial skin. Clay masks open pores and encourage the skin to perspire. Perspiration rids the pores of dirt and impurities, while the clay absorbs the excess oil. The deep cleansing and mud masks remove imbedded dirt and oils while temporarily tightening the pores. The anti-bacterial ingredients in these type masks will leave the skin clean and diminish the increase of bacteria.

- Sensitive skin needs masks that are gentle, mild and soothing. Ingredients like aloe, caffeine, chamomile, and honey are all comforting to the skin. Caffeine decreases redness and puffiness, while aloe reduces inflammation, chamomile soothes the skin and honey helps retain moisture. These masks are designed mainly to leave splotchy, dry, sensitive skin, looking smoother and feeling softer and healthier.

How do I use Masks?

Using a brush or clean hands, slather product onto your face while being careful to avoid your eye and mouth areas. Choose a relaxing atmosphere to recline and put your feet up, maybe some soft music while you close your eyes and relax; be careful to note the suggested time. For removal, masks that are gel or creamy may be tissued or rinsed away. Peel-away masks should be removed in a downward strokes as that’s the direction that your skin cells grow. Masks that dry to a hard or pasty finish may be rinsed off with both hands full of water. To finish, rinse until you’ve removed all signs of product, blot dry with a clean cloth and follow with your moisturizing routine.

We all know her. She′s that one woman that has perfect skin and doesn’t need a drop of makeup. If you’re that rare woman, consider yourself lucky. For the rest of us, this article is for you. Like it or not, cosmetics can help all of us look and feel better. Cosmetics help us preserve our beauty while also enhancing it.

Some women will choose what cosmetics to use based on a brand they love. Other woman will shop for the deals on cosmetics. No matter how you choose the brand of product you use, all of us want good quality products. There are so many things to choose from, it would be easy to get overwhelmed.

Even if picking out cosmetics is not your favorite thing to do, don”t avoid it. Instead, simplify it. I believe there are a few cosmetics that are essential to every woman’s collection. The first essential is proper skin care. Using a good quality cleanser and moisturizer can help your skin stay young and healthy. Choose a moisturizer with SPF protection to protect your skin from the sun every day. Healthy skin is beautiful skin and can really improve your overall look.

Eye makeup is another cosmetic must have. Most people will say that the eyes are one of the most important features of the face if not the most important. So why not high light the most important feature. A little shadow, eye liner and mascara can really help your eyes stand out.

After the eyes come the lips. Chapped lips are probably the biggest thing you want to avoid so if you use no other product, at least use a lip moisturizer. If you want, you can put on lip color over the moisturizer. I like to stick with a basic tinted moisturizer or perhaps a light gloss if I am going out. Keeping it simple doesn’t mean your lips wont be noticed. But if you like the dramatic look on your lips, there are endless colors to choose from. Just be sure to choose a color that works with your hair color and skin tones so it doesn’t wash you out too much. If you want to go one step further, use a little lip liner to give your lips a fuller look.

In addition to all the cosmetics I have already mentioned, foundations, blushes, nail polishes and perfumes are also a lot of fun. With these beauty products, the key is finding the products and shades that work for your individual skin type and coloring. Also, with perfumes, remember that some of them smell differently on different people′s skin. You’ll definitely want to try a sample of the scent for yourself before you purchase an entire perfume bottle.

The industry of cosmetics has become huge. Almost every culture and country uses some kind of cosmetic. Cosmetics for men have become increasingly more popular as well. People everywhere use cosmetics to help them achieve their optimum look and its up to you to decide what works best for you.

It’s not a crime to be a lady and to be experiencing hair loss. This condition is common among women today. More women than we actually think are suffering from female hair loss. This and many other facts of female hair loss should be properly understood.

Social Stereotype

The main reason why we rarely hear of or even imagine women suffering from female hair loss is because of the prevailing social stereotype. Of course, short hairstyles are now socially acceptable for females. Baldness however is not. It is quite common for us to think that women should have thick, luxurious hair regardless of age and hairstyle. This is probably why those with female hair loss simply prefer to keep mum about their conditions. The truth is however, 1 in 4 women suffer from baldness. Female hair loss may therefore be as common as male hair loss.

Hair Loss Myths

One common belief about hair loss in women is that the condition is caused by frequent hair styling, hair coloring and treatments. Frequent handling of hair in these ways may really result in hair breakage near the scalp. Female hair loss of this kind however is not permanent. Hair will eventually grow back and the worst that may result in over treating hair would be hair dryness and probably split ends.

Other Causes

There are many different causes of female hair loss. The most commonly believed causes of female hair loss however may actually be responsible for only 5% of hair loss cases. These causes include alopecia areata, telogen effluvium, traction alopecia and trichotillomania.

An autoimmune disorder called Alopecia areata is a hair disorder which makes a person lose hair in patches. Telogen effluvium is another condition in which numerous hair strands shift from the growing phase into the falling phase. Traction alopecia is the result of tight hairstyles like ponytails, buns and braids in which large amounts of hair are pulled off. This may eventually lead to scarring alopecia in which areas of the scalp become scarred. Trichotillomania is a serious psychological condition which is characterized by chronic hair pulling which can lead to bald areas.

Most Common Cause

Hormonal changes also cause 95% of women’s baldness. Estrogen level imbalances, an over or under active thyroid gland, child birth, menopause and hormonal therapies may be the culprits in female hair loss.

Difference with Male Hair Loss

Although female hair loss caused by hormonal factors may be a common condition in women, it should be understood that the time and age of hair loss for women is different than in men. Women may suffer from hair loss as soon as they hit their early twenties. Most women who suffer from hair loss also do not frequently develop bald patches.

In women, balding is usually diffused and with obvious thinning only on certain areas of the head such as the back or the top of the scalp or on the front hairline. Having severe and wide bald spots may be a sign that you need to see your doctor.
