How to Maintain Skin Care in a Correct Order

Besides taking good care of your skin with different beauty products and special facial masks, it is also important to pay attention to the correct order that is how you maintain your skin care.

Many people think that the order used in skin care doesn't matter. Hence, skincare is going to act on your skin in case of certain ways and on certain conditions of your skin. Follow the article to get some of the simple and yet valuable tips on getting your perfect skin.

No matter it is morning or night, you should always start with cleanser.

Weighing up products

In case you weigh up products before applying it on  the face, you should choose first the lightest one. This way the second product applied on your face will be able to penetrate your skin. It means you should pay attention to their weight, with the lightest coming first.

Cleanse

No matter it is morning or night, you should always start with cleanser. Before cleansing you may mist with thermal water, due to which you will loosen oil and dirt beforehand. You may use a toner right after cleanser.

Serums & Moisturisers

Moisturisers and serums go post-cleaning and toning. Moisturisers, serums and oils work best on  bare skin. If you use serum, then consider it as the lightest of the products you use so that it’s recommended to start with it.

Eye Cream

Next apply the eye cream, as it will take time to leave its effect on the eye area, before you put any other products.

 Moisturise

After this moisturise your face and neck. The products you have just used have to be lighter than the moisturizer you are going to use. If your cream formula is gel-like and the serum is heavier than change their places.

Remoisturising

If you need to moisturise your  face for the second time when you already applied your makeup, it’s recommended to do it like midday, when the products are not that heavy and will allow the moisturizer to penetrate your skin.

Clear Skin Products

Clear Skin Products should be applied on a bare skin in order to be localized on the affected area. In case you apply it before serums and moisturisers they will prevent it from penetrating the skin.

7 Personal Hygiene Tips For Men

Hygiene is one of those things we never talk about, but we are supposed to know. Personal hygiene is not limited to just wearing deodorant and rinsing with mouthwash.
Perhaps it’s one of the grooming tips given by your father, when he pulled you aside to teach you how to shave like a man. Unfortunately, in most cases, it’s the only personal hygiene tip from dad, as later on we have to be on our own.

Most of the time what we learn from the conspiracy of Body Spray makers, is that guys don’t know how to avoid smelling like sweaty apes without dousing themselves in deodorant. Or it’s not really cool to sit with bros and brag about their personal hygiene. Find out in the article some of the basic rules in men’s personal hygiene which lack enough attention.

What are the hygiene activities to undertake on a regular basis?
The freshness of your breath determines how your words are going to be accepted. Regardless of the beauty of your words sounding like sonnets in someone’s ears, if your breath smells like a sewer rat, it’s going to be a turnoff no matter what.

These are simple everyday tips to keep your inside mouth fresh:
1.    Go for an electronic toothbrush, not the one that only vibrates (and costs $10, but a decent one which costs at least $100. With this it will be possible for you to improve your brushing: the timing on the toothbrush will ensure you that you are brushing for the recommended amount of time.
2.    Floss every day.  All of us realize how important it is to floss every day, but not many people do it constantly. But it’s really worth it, as due to flossing you have a fresh breath; you avoid gum diseases, and won’t experience those weird looks from your dental hygienist. It goes beyond saying that if flossing was not such a painful procedure, guys would floss more often. For this reason it’s recommended to buy a holder (a cheap one) , instead of using naked floss. By the way, with one of this you might even enjoy flossing.
3.    Brush your tongue. As much you take care of your teeth the same should be done in case of your tongue hygiene. Most of the time you have got you’re the unpleasant mouth smell because of the buildups on your tongue. For this reason, it is recommended to scrub it, while you are washing your teeth.
4.    Check out tonsil stones in your mouth. Tonsil stones (solidified deposits of food, bacteria and other junks) collect in the nooks and crannies of your tonsils. This can be the reason why your mouth smells so nasty. If you have a chronic mouth smell, do not hesitate to scope out the back of your mouth for those buggers.
5.    Showering. How unpleasant it is to hear, but don’t shower every day. Some people don’t really need to shower every day, but as a habit or feeling of comfort they do this. In reality, when showering every day you are taking away the necessary amount of oil from your body and head skin which will result in overproduction of oil in your body. However, if you can do nothing but showering every day, avoid applying shampoo everyday (or have it very second day). Between those no-shampoo days put some baby powder on the parts of the hair that are getting greasy.
6.    If you are looking for a cheap organic face wash, than honey is what you need. Washing face with honey is also recommended in case you have got an extremely sensitive skin. The advantages of honey face wash are that, honey is a natural humectant and has natural antibacterial qualities. You may wash it in the shower by massaging it into your face. Leave it on your face until you are done with the rest of the showering, honey being the last thing to rinse.
7.    Wash your feet properly. What most people do is to soak their feet half and put an inch of soap on it, which is to be considered as washing feet. Forgetting this, you take care that you get in there with a wash cloth and scrub your toes and the bottom of your feet. This way you will sweep away of the unpleasant foot odor and fungus.   

In conclusion, I would add that everyday simple hygiene actions are what we overestimate when putting them side for the next time. Start every day by keeping those simple 7 personal hygiene tips to ensure your better health and quality life.

How to Create Your Inner Harmony



When we are lost, and the head is full of negative thoughts, all we seek is inner harmony and peace. This goal to find the inner harmony that we set is perhaps, beautiful, but a mysterious one. How to change the troubled thoughts into inner peace? What we lack most of the time, is that we try to find the harmony out of us, in case when it is within us. The interesting thing is that you do not have to work for it; you just need to uncover it. As soon as you discover that peaceful soul, you will experience the inner calmness towards the future and concerning things you have already in your life.

The process is like sweeping away the dust from the mirror, which gives  light when it’s clean. The light is clearness itself. Things that block the light should be temporary and outside of who we really are. The path to the inner peace and harmony is simple when you ask yourself “Who am I?.” You should continue asking and asking the same question until to find an answer which will bring the harmony into your inner world and reveal your SELF, who you really are.

 

How many times have you stopped for a moment to feel the nature? Have you noticed how the nature starts morning, with the birds singing and the butterflies flying to find their love-flower? 

Take a cup of tea and sit somewhere outdoors, nearby your door, or in the balcony and listen to how the nature starts its morning so harmoniously. As soon as you start your day all these feelings of harmony slightly turn into troublesome ones; you took a shower; it happens the bus is late; there is a traffic jam, deadlines are waiting – too much stress.

Since it is hardly possible to sit every morning on your front steps and follow the nature, making its peaceful path every day, here are some ways to clean out the stress from your daily life.
·      

  • Make your gratitude journal and fill it every morning you wake up. When  you wake up your mind is relaxed and ready to take up the world. Or is it troublesome? Just catch your gratitude journal and read all the lines. Perhaps you will go and hug your employer for the job?
  • Organize your life by keeping to-do-lists. It’s easier to lead your daily, weekly and monthly life when small things you have to accomplish are organized and easy for the eyes to see them. Just a simple list of your plans to be accomplished is a great step to getting things real.
  • Clean your home, surroundings, your desk you start work at, as well as your body. The feeling of freshness and cleanness is a well-known mood booster. Coming back home when things are in the dirt will make you down. The next step is to get rid of all the unnecessary items in your closet, garage or hat home. This way you will help yourself to feel at home in your life.
  • Make smiling a part of your daily agenda. Set our goal to smile at least twenty times a day  to smile at strangers, coworkers, your colleagues and you will see that the results are outstanding.
  • Accept  that there are things in life that you simply cannot change. You will get more joy out of life if you focus on the thing that bring the most joy in your life. Trying to focus on thing you have no control of, will make those negative feelings the clingy and haunting hell of yours.
Every individual should be aware that everything is possible, things can be fixed, the lost harmony can be won back, if there is enough will to get it back.
