How to Replenish Dry Skin in winters

In winters, dry weather causes much damage to your skin than anything else. To replenish your skin even in winters, I use a sugar scrub along with wash cloth. Sugar scrub is very effective for dry skin. Its special skin care ingredients heal your hands, skin and feet. You can also make sugar scrub at home but if you choose to purchase it from a recognized store then I would recommend you Lavender Shea Sugar Body Scrub. This sugar scrub smells good and has no side effects and is also good to eat.

Lavender Shea Sugar Body Scrub is made from rich combination of cane sugar, brown sugar along with Shea and cocoa butter. This scrub is multi-purpose and eats away the dryness from your skin. It gives moisturizing to your skin and you don’t need to use any moisturizing lotion after that. 

Happy New Year 2013 :)

Early Morning Beauty Short Cuts

Here I will tell you some easy to apply early morning beauty short cuts:

Go Dry instead of Wet:

Instead of applying liquid foundation before you go out for work, you can use loose powder to set your makeup. It gives a stable and nice look and is much easier to swipe on. You can easily do touch –up later on if you feel the powder is vanishing. Loose powder looks way more natural than liquid foundation. It is good to use as early morning beauty product.

Quick Eye Make Up:

Don’t do the thick layers of eye shadows with liquid liner. Just curl your eye lashes with a coat of mascara with outer corner of your eye lid. It is good to use as early morning beauty product.

Hair Do’s:

Instead of wrapping your hairs in a ponytail just wash it and leave it. If you want a wavy look, you can flip your head upside down and use a spray to give body to your hairs.
