❀ Alimentos para la Piel.

Existen alimentos beneficiosos para la piel? La respuesta es sí, aunque no pienses que por comer más o menos de esto y aquello tu piel cambiará de forma milagrosa. Lo que sí es cierto es que mejorando tu alimentación, tu piel lo reflejará en consecuencia. Te cuento cuáles son los mejores  alimentos para nuestro cutis, llevando una alimentación equilibrada conseguiremos que se refleje en el estado de nuestra piel. 


Conoce qué alimentos dejan tu piel tonificada y la protegen de agente externos:



                                        ACEITE DE OLIVA


Tu piel necesita ácidos grasos y vitamina E para regenerarse y estar protegida. Por ello, el aceite de oliva es uno de los mejores alimentos para la piel, así que no te olvides de incorporarlo a tu dieta. Eso sí, no quiere decir que debas bañar tu comida en este aceite, simplemente que no dejes de consumirlo en cantidades normales (unas 3-4 cucharadas al día).




HUEVOS
Contienen mucho azufre, un mineral imprescindible para sintetizar la queratina. Es decir, ¡que beneficiará al estado de tu pelo! Tiene acción anti-grasa, que también abunda en la leche y sus derivados, así como en los cereales integrales.





LAS FRUTAS
La piel necesita vitamina C y antioxidantes para protegerse de los agentes externos y evitar el envejecimiento prematuro. Los cítricos como la naranja, el limón y el pomelo no deben faltar en tu dieta diaria.





LOS BETACAROTENOS
Los betacarotenos se transforman en vitamina A en nuestro organismo, con una importante acción antioxidante. Están en las zanahorias, la calabaza y en las verduras de hoja verde como las espinacas o la lechuga.





LAS ALMENDRAS
Como otros frutos secos (también las avellanas, nueces o pistachos), reducen la oxidación celularpor su alto contenido en vitamina E. Aportan ácidos grasos que, además, dan flexibilidad y previenen las manchas en la piel y el envejecimiento.





LAS FRAMBUESAS
Tienen una gran concentración de vitamina E y muy pocas calorías. Esta vitamina aporta luminosidad al rostro.




EL PLATANO
Fuente de zinc, un elemento altamente antioxidante. Esta fruta no sólo favorece la renovación celular sino que, además, aporta tono a la piel.




EL AGUACATE
Esta fruta es uno de los mejores alimentos para la piel ya que contiene una alta concentración devitaminas C y E, imprescindibles como antioxidantes para prevenir el envejecimiento prematuro. Además, también es fuente de Omega 3, otro ácido graso esencial que mejora la calidad de la piel.



Y LO QUE NO PUEDE FALTAR EL AGUA
No es un alimento, es incolora, inodora e insípida, pero resulta esencial para la salud de la piel. Los dos litros al día no sólo son necesarios para calmar tu sed, sino que también te hidratan. De hecho, la deshidratación interna también se nota en la piel, que se ve seca y acartonada. Además, te ayuda a eliminar toxinas que, por cierto, también se reflejan en tu rostro con el tono apagado y la presencia de ojeras.






En general, lo imprescindible es comer sano, de forma saludable, aportando a tu organismo todos los nutrientes necesarios; y algunos de estos alimentos son buenos para la piel especialmente. Eso sí, ¡debes comerlos de forma continua!Angela.

❀ 20 Makeup Tricks You Would Wish You Knew Before !

                                             

                                            1. Full Coverage with Cream Foundation


There’s always a coverage problem with cream foundations. They give you more of a transparent coverage and then the concealer stands out. So, next time if you want medium to full coverage with a cream foundation, mix it with primer, and then apply and see the change for yourself.



2. Cream Foundation for Oily Skin

You’ve always been told not to use cream foundation on oily skin, but here’s a way with which you can. Use a sponge to spread the foundation on your skin. Mostly all foundations have oil formulation, so when you use the damp sponge, it takes up the pigment but not the oil, giving you a matte oil-free finish.



3. Youthful Blush

Usually we apply blush to highlight the cheekbones, but the blush has more to do with face contouring. Next time, try to apply your blush in a way that it’s faded on the apples and darker on the hairline. I know you are happy with this technique.



4. The Ring Finger Wonders

The other day I hear a makeup artist, that  always better to apply makeup with ring finger. The ring finger is the weakest, and so it’s not too hard on the skin to create wrinkles and break the layer of makeup. Especially, when you are putting foundation/ concealer under your eye (the wrinkle friendly area), the ring finger will give you the best finish.



5. Deodorant not only for Fragrance

When you are in a party surrounded by so many people. Here’s the trick, spray some deodorant on your finger and dab it on your T-zone, under eyes or any oily patch on your skin. It will reduce oil and sweat and secure your makeup.



6. Enviable Lashes

Sure your mascara is not more than a month old. Twist the mascara at the roots of your lashes and sweep upwards out. The trick is to keep the base thick and let the lashes taper naturally.




7. Fix Broken Makeup 

It's heartbreaking to see your expensive Makeup broken? You can never be too careful about it after all. here’s a trick to fix broken makeup, and save money. Just add a few drops of alcohol in your broken powder, you’ll see the alcohol seep in and the powder becomes soft. Use your finger to smoothen the paste and spread it in the case. If you like finishing, you can give it a neat finish.




8. Bright Sparkly Eyes

Dark circles make you look tired and dull. It’s very important to do the under eye makeup carefully. Here’s a tip from Bobbi Brown on how to get a wide awake look. Before applying makeup, prepare the area with a fast absorbing under eye cream, so that the product glides smoothly and your eyes stay protected. Use a concealer that is 2 shades lighter to your foundation and follow with a pale yellow powder to avoid creasing, and you will be bright-eyed maiden!




9.  Effect Without the Mascara

You don’t always need mascara to flaunt thick long lashes. Here’s how to create the same look with only eye liner. Line the upper rim of your eye with the liner, Not over the lashes just a tight line and also in between the lash roots. This will create the illusion of thick lashes without the mascara.




10. The complicated: Waterproof Makeup 

We all love waterproof makeup, but waterproof mascara is such a pain when it comes to removing it. I end up losing some of my lashes along, every time. So, first apply normal non waterproof mascara and finish it with a coat of the waterproof one. Now, is easy to remove your mascara without any special makeup removers.




11. Pretty Finish of Lipsticks

How we love the colorful kissable lips, so here’s what you do for a smooth finish. Scrub your lips with your toothbrush or a damp towel, and remove the dead skin before coating them with lipstick. Now, the lipstick will glide smoothly without forming any lumps.




12. Fuller Lips Effect

Once you are done with the lipstick and gloss, dab a little silver or golden lip-gloss in the middle of your lower lip. Also, put a little lip balm  (the area below your nose and over your lip) to give it a little shine. Shine on that area creates the illusion of fuller lips.




13.  Aloe Vera Primer

In addition to soothing and eradicating any skin and scalp problems, the benefits of Aloe Vera for Hair as a a great conditioning agent is excitingly overwhelming. The gel-like substance of the aloe barbadensis leaf gives it a similar chemical composition of keratin, the naturally occurring protein in hair cells.




14.  Smaller Forehead

Large foreheads are capable of stealing attention from the rest of your face. If you have bangs then you already know how to hide it, if not, here’s what you can do. Take bronzer (the matte one,) then, apply it in circular motion to blend properly. Bronzer creates a shadowy look that would make a large area appear tinier. I using this trick a lot!




15.  Slimmer Sharper Nose

Make a smaller nose with the help of this simple tip. Spread foundation as you would normally do and then swipe a streak of highlighter downwards in the centre of your nose,  Make sure you do it in a straight line. The highlighted skin, sandwiched between the normal tones, will create the illusion of a sharp and slim nose.




16. Lipstick and Concealer

Just a little bit of coral or peach lipstick mixed with your concealer can give you refreshed eyes in a minute. Using plain concealer sometimes give you a fake pale color under the eyes, which makes it very obvious that you are wearing makeup. If you add just a  color, it gives the concealer a very natural look and also brightens up your eyes instantly.




17. Dots to Perfection

The people of the makeup world call it as- stippling. Stippling is, using your foundation by shading with dots, instead of strokes. So next time, when you apply your foundation, use the dots method for a more natural finish. You can also use it for applying blush.




18.  Foundation vs. Tinted Moisturizer

Tinted moisturizers are making it big in the makeup world. Tinted moisturizers tend to moisturize your skin and also give a little color. When you want the natural tinted moisturizer look, mix some moisturizer in your foundation and blend it properly before applying. This will give you a translucent layer, which looks as natural as naked skin, but also hides open pores and minor imperfections.




19. The Natural Makeup Remover

When you don’t have a makeup remover, you can just dab some olive oil in cotton, and run it over your eyes and lips. This will not only remove your makeup properly, but also leave your skin nourished. Olive oil is just great for eyes and lips. In fact, if you like about eye creams, just dab a little olive oil under and around your eyes, before you go to sleep. And, one more little secret, it will also help you grow your lashes longer and thicker!




20. Instant Removal

Don’t you just hate it when a notorious irritating pimple/ zit come out on an important day? Here’s what you can do to get rid of it almost instantly. You will need an Aspirin, remember, no other pain relievers, just 100 per cent Aspirin. Mix it in some water. It will dissolve and make a paste. Now take a few and apply the paste on the zit. Hold it for 10-15 minutes and then wipe with a clean wet tissue, If it doesn’t remove the zit completely, it’ll at least shrink it and remove the redness.
*Don’t do it, if you are allergic to Aspirin.
