Searching for a New Foundation

I'm out of foundation for my makeup regimen. I use a liquid foundation that is darker in shade. My sis recommended I use a shade lighter since my skin is morena. She also said I should check a Health and Beauty Guide on Cosmetics so I won't make a mistake in buying expensive stuff in the future. The best ones to use are the branded ones because the effect is almost always what they claim to be.

In searching for whether the shade you use is right for your skin, you can check whether you have warm or cool undertones. Olive or tan skin usually have a warm undertone, while fair skin has a cool undertone. Gold and bronze will look good on my morena skin rather than lighter shades.

The type of foundation to use will also depend on your skin type and the effect you want to achieve. If you have oily skin, you should try using a water-based or a matte foundation. You should avoid liquid foundation, illuminating foundation, sheer foundation and tinted moisturizers. While for dry skin, tinted moisturizers and illuminators are great as well as liquid and oil-based foundations.

Also my sis who has been putting on makeup way before I realized there is such a thing as makeup advised me to buy the best cosmetic tools for my personal use. I shouldn't rely on what comes with the makeup I buy. Good brushes and applicators should come in handy when I want to apply a certain shade in a certain way when blending.

Investing in good makeup and cosmetic tools is better than scrimping on products that do not give you the result you wanted and will just ruin how you look. Instead of looking good and feeling better about your self, you might regret it all.

Skin Care Benefits of Using Sulfur Soap

A sample of sulfur (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Despite its acrid smell, a bar of sulfur soap brings many health benefits to your skin through its antiseptic, anti-fungal and antibacterial qualities. In olden times, individuals had to take a dip in sulfur-rich hot springs located at a distance from an active volcano. Spas often appeared around these areas to provide patrons privacy and comfort while they visited the pools of heated water and sulfur. Many people frequented these places because the hot water therapy soothed their aching muscles and the sulfur healed their skin problems, such as acne vulgaris, whiteheads, blackheads, eczema, rosacea, scabies, and seborrheic dermatitis. Now, sulfur's cleansing properties are packaged neatly in soap bars. The ten percent sulfur content in the soap has enough potency to effectively produce the same effective results as dipping your whole body in a pool of sulfur-rich hot water. Like in the ancient times, use sulfur soaps to reme...

How Do You Treat Scalp Acne and Scalp Dermatitis?

A case of Seborrhoeic Dermatitis on the back of the head (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) If you suffer from pimples on the scalp, then it's important to find a good scalp acne treatment. They're ugly, painful, and irritating. We can't see them ourselves so we pick them often by scratching our scalp before knowing they're there. Scalp wounds tend to bleed and this can make the spots visible, especially if your hair is thinning, fine or very short. Most acne on the scalp has the same cause as acne on the face, that is, overproduction of sebum leading to blockages of hair follicles, which often become infected. Inflammation can be caused by a condition called seborrheic dermatitis , and this, together with oily skin, is what you have to go along with scalp acne. What happens is the scalp will be red and itchy and the skin will flake off as dandruff. Associated with the condition of seborrheic dermatitis and more serious cases is yeast and it's someti...

A brief vacation

I have just got back from UP Diliman for a week of respite. I had training for trainers at UP SoLaIR (School of Labor and Industrial Relations). It was a working vacation. At least I had time to slow down and not think of work for a few days. It was good! Really felt good to be taken cared of by the University Hotel staff.
