For Clear Skin
Clear Skin
Clear skin means skin that is free from oil, grim or dirt. Throughout the span of day our skin is exposed to harmful pollutants that make it look dull and drab. Moreover, change in season is enemy to the skin. Weather conditions and its fluctuations take its toll on the skin.
If you desire a clean and clear skin you need to follow a strict skin cleaning regimen on a daily basis. Clear skin is the other word for flawless complexion. Skin is flawless when it is free from pimple, acne and miscellaneous skin rashes.
Clear Skin Tips
Skin is generally said to be the mirror of one’s healthy body. But it depends much on the internal constitution. Healthy stomach is tantamount to healthy skin. You should have whole grain, fresh fruits and vegetables’ balanced diet to keep your digestive system in proper shape. Too much intake of protein fibers is hard to digest. It forms toxic wastes which come forth as skin rashes and blemishes. It is known that some sea food nurtures pimples and acne. So you should avoid having it. You should eat plenty of food that is high on fatty acids as EFA’s (Essential Fatty Acids) are precursors of good skin texture.
Home Remedies for Clear Skin
At home you can use paste of gram flour with curd or few drops of papaya juice to get rid of the dead cells. You can apply natural sandalwood paste on face or mix it with turmeric to get a youthful and glowing skin. Milk mixed with flour act as a natural scrubber for the skin. The result is a clear and beautiful skin. It is always advisable that you remove all kind of make up before going to sleep. Do not use thick night creams because they tend to block the skin pores.
Take this necessary care and give your skin a rejuvenated feel.

Jumpsuits
This season we see yet another trend that has gathered pace from 2009. The jumpsuit and playsuit came out of nowhere last Spring/Summer along with other looser styles such as the harem pants. This season, both the jumpsuit and playsuit are back and more versatile than ever, with a massive array of styles, lengths, cuts and colours available for you to indulge. There is guaranteed to be one out there which would be perfect for your wardrobe, whether you go for a sleek and chic black jumpsuit or a more flirty short floral playsuit.
The best feature of both of these items is that they can be worn by women of any size and height. You can opt for close fitting body con versions if you are proud of the time you have put in at the gym, or looser almost harem styles if you are body conscious. The length of the garment can also vary from the short playsuit which is perfect for those looking to accenuate and lengthen their legs, or long length jumpsuits for those who are lucky enough to have the long legs to pull it off – and if you do, then you are bound to be noticed!
So what type of jumpsuit/playsuit should you be rocking this year?
Considerations
As mentioned above, if you have curves or are body conscious then go for a halter jumpsuit belted in firmly at the waist in order to give you that womanly shape. Obviosuly sexy black numbers will keep your look sexy and chic, but also help you appear slimmer.
Shorter women should wear with ultra-tall heels in order to cancel out the “frump factor”. Shorter length playsuits will also suit your petite frame better as it will show more leg and give the appereance of length when matched with heels.
Sporty drawstring details add definition to the look whilst also allowing you to hit the whole Sports Luxe trend which is massive this year.
Inject a touch of glamour with sequinned separates such as short cardigans or shawls which will draw attention to your outfit.
Belting the Jumpsuit/Playsuit high up around the waist gives the effect of curves and is particularly effective for skinny frames which lack them. It is also a good idea to use belts to break up the top and bottom half, giving some separation to the all-in-one” outfit.
Look for statement versions this year which have all the on trend detailling; we are thinking pleats and ruffles, whilst there are a few more asymmetric cut styles available this year as well. If you are going to purchase an embellished version to really make a statement, make sure you pair it with more muted accessories in order to keep the outfit understated instead of in your face.
If you are high street shopping then don’t be put off jumpsuits when you see a shapeless mess on the hanger. These are definitely items which look better on, and when you fill it your outfit will suddenly come to life.
If you are worried about your bum or the back of your outfit in general why not pair your jumpsuit/playsuit with a long line cardigan which will give you more confidence when stepping out.

Summer Tip
Be a natural beauty this summer by whipping up these homemade beauty products .
There's nothing better than taking a dip in the pool on a hot summer day, but the chlorine and chemicals can be harsh and damaging to hair.
This hair care potion will protect your locks -- and help blonde hair from turning green.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons baking soda
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon mild shampoo
*Yields 2 ounces -- enough for one treatment
Directions: Mix together all the ingredients until well blended. Wet hair and massage the mixture onto your hair and scalp, making sure hair ends are coated. Cover hair with a plastic bag or shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes. Rinse hair well and shampoo as usual.
I haven't tried this yet, but will put it to the test.
