Oily skin follow these simple tips:



Relaxation, living a stress-free lifestyle and lots of sleep are only some of the helpful tips that many health and beauty experts would generally recommend to anyone who wants to have a beautiful skin.

While these tips are generally helpful since the body naturally reacts well to healthy habits, it is also important to know what the specific remedies are in maintaining an oil-free skin.
What causes oily skin?

If you’re dreaming to have oil-free skin, you have to know what causes oily skin and act on them accordingly.

An oily skin can be bad or good. A person who has an oily skin can have the fewer tendencies to develop wrinkles early in life. On the other hand, she will be prone to blemishes such as pimples. This is because the sebaceous gland that produces sebum or the natural oil content in her skin is more active thus causing the skin to be clogged.

Causes of oily skin may be hereditary. Others may be influenced by a person?s hormone levels, diet, intake of contraceptive pills, and exposure to hot or humid weather. Stress has also been proven as one of the major causes of blemishes on the skin especially on the face. Changes in the hormone levels during pregnancy or menopause also affects a healthy skin.

Lemon lip gloss:


2 teaspoons of grated beeswax or pellets
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Aloe Vera
1 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 tablespoon Vitamin E Oil
3-6 drops of Lemon Essential Oil

Select a lip gloss pot, readily available from container stores, or, from using makeup or cosmetics. Ensure the container is sterile by boiling it in hot water. This will help prevent contamination of your finished product, which could lead to spoilage. Melt beeswax, remove from heat and while constantly stirring - add honey, aloe Vera, almond extract, and Vitamin E. Add the Lemon essential oil last. Store in a clean pot, preferably in the refrigerator.

Want beautiful skin have a sip of Pina Colada Everyday:



Ingredients
Half a cup of unsweetened almond milk
1 cup pineapple pieces
1 small piece of avocado (about 1/5 of a large avocado or ¼ of a small one)
1 tablespoon shredded unsweetened coconut
1 tablespoon coconut oil
Dash of vanilla extract
2-4 ice cubes
Half a cup of water
Rum to taste (optional)

Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender
Blend until smooth and creamy
Drink up!

Want full effect of SPA follow these steps:


1. Stay off the alcohol and cigarettes

Most spa treatments expel toxins by releasing them into your blood stream, from where they are gradually pushed out of the body – usually over 24 hours. Drinking alcohol and smoking can dehydrate your body and further increase toxicity, so avoid both these for at least a full day.
2. Turn to water

In order to flush away those toxins and replace lost hydration (which is common after a spa therapy), drink lots of fluids – namely water and green tea – for 24 hours post-treatment.
3. Eat light

Avoid eating a heavy meal for a few hours after the treatment as your digestion needs all it’s power to eliminate toxins. For optimum results, have a meal made with garlic, which lowers blood pressure, boosts circulation, reduces fat, and flushes toxins from the body. Your best bet? A light, Asian-inspired dish.
4. Load up on the fruits

Swap dessert for a platter of fresh fruits: chock full with vitamins, enzymes and water, these are the best option for maintaining the health effects of any spa treatment.
5. Rest, rest, rest… and then rest some more!

A massage reveals it’s optimal benefits over a few hours, so you need some “me-time” to fully absorb the results of a spa session. By doing anything stressful, you might lose the effects of your treatment. Plus, any strenuous, rigorous or exciting activities (including steamy sex!), which make you sweat, will cause dehydration, leading to extreme fatigue. Instead, indulge in some quiet, relaxing pursuits like getting lost in a book or zoning away to music for 24 hours after your spa visit.
6. Resist the shower

Although it may sound counter-productive, if you have any treatments that use essential oils, creams or botanicals, refraining from rinsing off will allow your skin to soak up the minerals and anti-oxidants completely.
7. Skip the steam and sauna

You’ve been cleaned and steamed… heating up the face and body is going to strip away that just paid-for glow. And that’s highly avoidable, right?
8. Go light on home products

This is especially true is you have had a peel or scrub: adding on potent at-home products after these is a surefire recipe for redness. So, give your skin a two or three day break after a treatment.
9. Stay out of the sun

After a massage, peel or scrub, you’ve got a whole new batch of vulnerable skin cells that can easily burn in the sun. Better to stay in the shade and avoid the skin damage.
10. Sleep on a soft sheet

Your skin is super-soft after a spa visit (which is good). However, this also makes it super-prone to allergies, dust and harsh fabrics, which can easily cause rashes and other irritations (which is bad). To avoid, sleep on a soft sheet – preferably silk or satin (sigh!) – that won’t irritate your skin. And, yes, stay away from those rough towels as well.

Can you enhance your beauty using silk pillow! its in it crazy! but have a glance down:


Silk & Skin




Did you know that silk is the nearest thing to human skin? It contains 18 of the essential proteins that are found in our skin and is even the same pH as our skin, making it a potent counter against premature ageing.
The creamy fabric also contains natural cellular albumen fiber, which helps faster cell renewal – again, a great protection against ageing and dull complexions.
Unlike cotton (which is very absorbent), silk does not soak up the natural moisture from your skin. The result? Better hydration, improved skin elasticity and lesser wrinkles. Similarly, it doesn’t absorb the beauty creams and serums that you put on at night, allowing them to stay on longer and work more efficiently.
Silk sheets and pillows offer a smoother surface for the face, so you don’t wake up with the crease marks that are common with other fabrics.
Silk is a natural heat regulator – it maintains body temperature and does not conduct heat or static electricity. Hence, it helps retain heat on cold nights and keep you cool in the summer. Hence, better beauty sleep!
Silk & Hair
Sleeping on silk can help prevent hair from thinning… really! Cotton fabrics may seem soft but they cause friction – gripping and tugging at our strands as we move in our sleep – leading to hair breakage and split ends. Silk, on the hand, is much smoother, so hair simply slides over the surface however much you toss and turn. The result? Less tangling or breakage. Added bonus? A blow dry will last much longer.
Since silk traps less body heat than other fabrics, you wake up sans frizzy strands or a messy bed head.
