If you’re deprived of sun with no hols planned, you’re depressed about your whiteness and you want a golden tan whatever the weather, tanning salons and beds can be a solution, but they’re not as simple or harmless as you may think.The advantages of Sunbeds:Aside from the obvious summer skin whatever the weather, why do people risk sunbeds over other types of fake tan (pills, self tanners and moisturizers)?
First of all, salon tanning is quick and convenient, saves you from spending hours roasting on the beach to get the color you want, and gives you an even tan all over without bikini marks or redness. Home sunbeds are also available so you don’t have to move from your front room!From a more medical point of view, you get the majority of your required Vitamin D intake through exposure to UV light, so sunbeds can be used to treat problems such as psoriasis or vitamin D deficiency. Some advice, Do not expose yourself if you have phototype I or II skin or you’re under 18 (because your skin is still very sensitive), if you are going on holiday or you already have sunburn, if you have a large number of freckles/beauty spots or skin problems.

Nail polish can be traced back to at least 3000 BC when it originated in China. The Chinese found ways to use gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin, and bees wax to create varnishes and lacquers for the nails. The Egyptians would use henna to stain their fingernails. In China, as well as in Egypt, color represented social class. During the Chou Dynasty, circa 600 BC, gold and silver were the royal colors. Later, royalty starting wearing black or red nail color. Lower ranking women were only permitted to wear pale tones. Wearing royal colors without being royalty was punished by death. Modern nail polish is a actually a variation of car paint.

Make-up brushes

January 20th, 2008 by editor


Make up brushes are essential to beauty maintenance. This is why it is important that we take good care of our make-up brushes. Be sure to keep them on a dry area tucked safely away from dirt and dusts. It is a good idea to invest on a good make up brush that has exceptionally fine bristles as any under standard ones can clog the pores. It is also important to keep the brushes inside plastic or airtight containers so as to prevent it from absorbing humidity in the air. In cleaning your brushes, and this you should do once or twice a month, use lukewarm water and then blow dry it with a dryer. Do not use the same brush on another person for hygienic purposes, or if you do, be sure to clean it thoroughly as courtesy to the next user.
