BEAUTY, MAKE UP BY Christelle

aisha-aakiya.jpgVery often found without make-up and always perfectly shaved ; in terms of make-up artistry, eyebrows are as most important than any other part of the eyes. They should always be with the perfect line. Eyebrows pencil can help you to get the right shape by filling the gaps between missing hair. Before applying any make-up on your eyebrows, comb them with a special brush or use your fingers to put them in place. The use of eyebrows powder is much more efficient to give a natural look to your eyes.

sofisticate-kadiatou.pngTypically found on oily skins, this phenomenon happens when the skin can easily get rid of the excess of sebum but cannot get back to her natural state. Most of the treatments existing nowadays focus on how to get smaller pores.

One of our favourite is microdermabrasion by Mary Kay (range of products called Time Wise). The step one helps you refine your skin by cleansing it with a super cleanser, while the step two is nourishing your skin in depth. You need to use these products no more than twice a week for 3 to 6 months depending on the results expected. It does work if you religiously practice it!

Space NK offers a similar range of products called Dr Brandt. Both of these treatments can be undertaken at home. For those of you who prefer relying on beauticians, we can advise you to book an appointment with Organic Beauty Spa, 2a, Half Moon Lane, Herne Hill, London, SE24 9HU, 020 7207 6946 . Only natural products are used there.

sofisticate-bath.jpgAfter an exhausting day your body might need to be pampered and distressed in order to get a good night’s sleep. You should ideally take care of your body days and nights. Properly sleeping at night, allows the body to rest and replenish. There are a few things that you can apply to maximise the relaxing  process. Few tips for evening bath:

While preparing a soothing and warm bath, feel free to fill your bathtub with warm water mixed with chamomile and lavender that will smooth and calm the skin. Ideally, you would lie in the bath for 30 minutes; allowing your muscles to release the tension held during the day.

sofisticate-bodymilk.jpgUsing essential oils as moisturizers is the thing to do when considering alternative products to our skin with very few chemicals. Sesame, avocado, primrose and sweet almond oil, which are all-purpose oils, are efficient in treating some of the most intense skin conditions like eczema or dryness. Grape seed, cocoa butter, peanut oil and apricot kernel oil are specific to massage blends, enhancing the skin if used as active stimulators. Olive and macadamia nut oils are found in many creams and body milks as they are highly concentrated and expensive, excellent to moisturize a skin after the sun or during cold months. Jojoba and hazelnut oils are ideal for combination to oily skins as it regulates the “T zone”. Going back to baby products is also an option to consider if your skin is sensitive, you just need to be aware that you may need to mix the baby milk with an essential oil or glycerine.
