A Beautiful You
Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle

In the actual sense, beauty is a state of mind which can be improved by improving our confidence in ourselves. A smile, and a happy and confident state of mind, is few of the main factors which can actually make you feel beautiful. No matter how you look, it’s the feeling which counts. People often tend to judge a book by its cover, but remember that it’s always the book with a good content which is going to make an impact in the long run. There are methods-both natural and artificial- that you can do to brighten your face and improve your appearance. With artificial methods, remember that, results are quick to come, at the same time, quick to go once you stop using them. On the other hand natural methods take effect slowly but are lasting and free of side-effects. Even though natural methods are easy to make using home available ingredients, people don't often find the time or the patients to do it. Cloths and your style of dressing is another aspect, which if done correctly, can improve your appearance and confidence.

The pore issue
You get out of the bed early morning and see a pimple staring at you from your reflection. You ate the right food, drink water, clean your face regularly, and despite everything, this. Pimple mainly occurs among adolescents and young adults. They are caused by inflammation of the sebaceous glands which secrete an oily substance (sebum), the natural lubricant of the skin. Sometimes the openings of the glands become blocked, causing the formation of pus-filled swellings. Teenage acne is seen mainly on the face, back, and chest. The first question that arises in our mind after hearing this is" What's the best solution to deal with open pores (pimples)? ".
Unfortunately, there's no magic cure for open pores. Anything that exfoliates the skin can help to quite an extent. This includes creams containing alpha or beta-hydroxyl acids or vitamin A, as well as treatments such as microdermabrasion (skin polishing), peels or intense pulsed light. Anyway I am here to give you advices on how to keep away pimples in the natural way and also give you few suggestions of products available in the market.

Here are some tips to keep away pimples\acne:
* Tomato juice to which a few drops of lime juice has been added can be applied on open pores for 20 min. Then wash with cold water. This mixture also keeps your skin soft and glowing.
* The juice or pulp of pineapple, peaches and papaya are very good.
* Always wash your face with cold water after steaming.
* In humid weather, wash your face at least two times with cold water. If you have powdered orange peel, use this in place of soap.
* Mix equal quantities of lime juice, glycerin and rosewater. This lotion, if applied on the face regularly at bed time, is effective in removing pimples, blackheads and other strain of the skin.
* Reduce eating food that contains large amounts of oil.
* Honey is also good for removing pimples (Read about importance of honey in beauty treatment in my next post)

Fashion tips(page 1)
Every person has a different body structure and not every kind of dress will suit him\her. Here's a help chart for you. See which category you fit in and know the type of dress that will look good on you.
1) Using colour to balance your body is a great idea. Wear light colours where you are small and dark colours where larger. For e.g., if you have large hips, wear dark skirts or pants and a light coloured blouse.
2) Wearing set-in sleeves with shoulder pads will help you to balance wide hips. The shoulder pads will add to your shoulders therefore balancing with your hips.
3) Don't choose clothes that are too tight. Clothes that fit well will make you appear slimmer, while tight clothes will add pounds.
4) Wear tops that have a scoop neckline with half or long sleeves to hide heavy arms and draw attention to the face and neck.
5) Clothes in solid colours with simple lines will make you appear taller.
6) Always break in new shoes before wearing them out for a special occasion.
7) Wear straight silhouettes in a solid colour to hide a thick waist. The skinner the stripe, the thinner you appear.
8) Don't wear black on a hot day or at a wedding. (More fashion tips in my next post)
