  • Water based products are best suited for times when the weather changes from dry to humid whereas oil based products fit the bill perfectly when the weather changes from humid to dry.
  • Special attention should not only be paid to the leave-in products like creams and lotions but also to the wash-off products like body washes and soaps.
  • It is important to follow the basic regimen of cleansing, toning and moisturizing twice a day, irrespective of weather.

How do you feel when you look in the mirror? Does the image you see match the mental image you have of yourself? Is your hair ok? Are your eyes looking bright and well defined? Does your style match your personality? The questions can be endless when it is a question of your looks. Style and beauty can be very personal and at the same time also keep up with the trends and fashions. True this statement sounds contradictory in itself but it applies to how you groom yourself and present yourself just the way it applies to your clothes. Everyone has their own beauty style and getting it right is very important. It is important not just for how other people perceive you, it is important for your own self esteem!

When it is a question of finding your own personal beauty style, the obvious first step is recognising your skin type, your hair type and your body type. This is best done by professionals who have the trained eye and the scientific knowledge to back it up. The right salon can work wonders here. Apart from finding the right salon to give you precious advice on the matter, here are a few simple tips. The first thing to do is to play up your best features. Analyze what features of yours you like best. Does everyone praise your eyes or the curve of your neck or your cheek bones or…? Focusing on the features you are proud of can make the job a whole lot easier. Never neglect your eyes! Everyone you meet is going to look at your eyes. This is one feature you cannot hide and you should not either! Use a good eye cream to moisturize the area around your eyes. Keep your eyebrows neat and well-shaped. The results could amaze you. Never be afraid to experiment. Try on different looks. You never know when you may stumble on that perfect signature beauty style!

It always helps to have a style icon. Remember that feeling of “I want to look like this” you got when you looked at someone? Could have been a movie star or someone you know. Trust your instincts when you get that feeling. Using a similar style and products could be what you were always waiting to do. Finally, take good care of your skin. Yes, beauty (and style) are more than just skin deep but skin is still one of the first things people notice about you. Maintain a good cleansing and moisturizing regimen that keeps your skin young and fresh. Glowing skin always adds volumes to your beauty and style. All said and done, finding your personal beauty style can be an amalgamation of many things. What works for you in terms of time in the mornings or the products that you prefer or getting out of your comfort zone or just falling back on tried and tested methods. Whatever it is, always remember to play up your best features, keep your skin glowing and eyes well cared for. Never neglect getting the right professional help.

Of course they are backed by years of training and experience and know how to analyse skin type, hair type etc. They also receive specific training on what kind of look suits what occasion and so on. If you have always wanted to get a more professional finish to your makeup and look, this article is what you need. Happy to share the 5 most important beauty secrets from professional makeup artists:

• The first step you must not skip is using a moisturizer that is right for your skin. Before beginning to apply makeup, moisturize liberally to give your skin a dewy glow and improve the tone and texture of even dull or tired looking skin.
• Use peach or apricot toned primer before applying foundation. The tint of colour in these toned primers is perfectly suited for even darker skin tones and can hide pigmentation or dark circles effectively.
• Apply a light coat of translucent face powder over the primer to lock it in and then use a beauty blender to apply foundation over this. Use a makeup brush and brush over your face in a light downward motion to ensure any baby hairs lay flat against the skin.
• For a luminous and “lit from within” glow, apply your cream blush or bronzer or highlighter underneath the foundation. You will be surprised how effective this little trick is!
• When applying lipstick, begin with a nude lipliner, apply a layer of lipstick over this, use a tissue to blot, apply a light dusting of translucent powder and repeat the process to get in two or three layers of lipstick. This will last you all day!

These simple tips are easy to follow and can elevate your makeup to that professional level on a daily basis! However, do keep in mind that the quality of the products you use and your skin-type play an important part. Always use good quality products that are right for your skin. Sticking closer to natural products is always better.

Our skin is our first line of defense. It is the largest organ in our body and it protects every other organ against the environment. In every condition, hot or cold, dry or wet, it is our skin that takes the first hit. Our skin is also one of the first things about our external appearance that everybody notices. Good skin is a coveted feature. Flawless glowing skin is everyone’s dream. It is important to take good care of your skin and give it the right nourishment and care. In order to do this, the first step to take is to get to know your skin. There are many skin types and skin can be as unique as the wearer. So first you must identify whether your skin is dry or normal or oily or combination skin.

The simplest way to identify dry skin is to pay attention to how your skin feels when it is cleansed and left bare. If your skin feels tight and stretched, it is a reliable indicator of dry skin. Flakiness is also an indicator of dry skin. The best way to care for dry skin is to use a good quality rich moisturiser after a gentle round of exfoliation. Daily gentle exfoliation is vital to ensure that the top layer of dead cells are gone and any serum or lotion that you apply is properly absorbed.

Normal to combination skin can be identified if you experience dryness in the cheeks but the T-Zone remains shiny. Daily gentle exfoliation followed by a good gel moisturiser is good for this type of skin. Ensure that you do not use any product that is too strong or too rich as this can eventually lead to the dryness because the skin will stop producing the normal amount of oil. If you suspect that you have oily skin, the best way to confirm this is by gently pressing blotting paper on your skin and holding it up to the light. If you see patches of oiliness, there you have it – oily skin. Again it is important to ensure that your pores do not get clogged with oily excretions, so it is important to follow a daily gentle exfoliation routine. Use a light moisturiser of good quality to keep your skin hydrated. Oily skin tends to look young for longer and develop less wrinkles and is the most coveted skin type, but it does need its share of care too. Eating right, drinking lots of water and getting plenty of exercise in fresh air is the best way to care for all skin types, so make sure you work these necessities into your lifestyle! Happy skin to you!
