Not all women are blessed with perfect skin tone and attractive features but with some effective face make up tips most can reach closer to what they desire to become. Face make up is the best way to highlight your attractive features and cover up your facial flaws.

One needs to be familiar with the make up techniques to bring out the best in their personality. There are several brand cosmetics available in the market that when used skillfully can create wonders. Known to be the girl`s best friend, these cosmetics should be carefully selected and surely discarded on expiry. And if you want to learn the basic face make up techniques, then here are some tips that will help you get the right face make up:

Base or foundation:

Start with applying appropriate base and moisturizer on your face. Also cover ears, neck and nape portions that are visible. Use a tissue paper to wipe off the excess moisture, if any. Apply foundation dots across your face and blend it well so as to cover your blemishes and other facial flaws. Opt for oil-free products that contain salicyclic acid or tea tree oil. Now take some ice cubes and quickly rub them on your skin. This will close all the pores on your face. Now dab with a tissue and apply compact powder. Make sure to select a range that matches with your complexion and hence gels well with your skin tone.

Eyes:

Select eye shadow according to your dress and day time. For evening, opt for darker shades and for bright daylight occasion go for lighter color eye shadows. You can also try some golden or silver glitter, if you are going for some evening party bash but better avoid it if you are attending something more formal.

Now carefully apply eyeliner to define your eye shape. Use kohl along your eye rims and then apply mascara on your eyelashes. It is important to note that big eyes do not require much enhancement and hence eye makeup should be kept minimal but for smaller eyes you should go for thick eye lining and also darker kohl so that the eyes look prominent.

Lips:

Apply pencil lip liner to outline your lips. It will ensure that your lipstick or gloss does not smear. Now with a lip brush apply lip color on your lips. Go for color shades that will suit your skin tone. For lasting effect, you can apply some oil-free foundation on your lips before applying lipstick. After you fill in your lip with the lip color, apply some lip gloss. This will add sparkle to your lip make up. However, you can avoid gloss if you prefer a mat look for the occasion.

Blush on:

Now accentuate your features with blush on. Roll on the brush on the apt shade and gently apply it on the side of your cheeks. Try to keep it natural and hence avoid over use of blush on. Select right color shades that will suit your complexion. For instance, while pink and beige blushes will look good on fair skin, plum and bronze shades will complement darker skin tone and for olive skin tone copper, almond and warm brown shades will be the best.

Touch up:

Always remember to carry a lipstick, a lip gloss, compact powder, some tissues and a small mirror with you. You can give a quick touch up to your face makeup in case it starts wearing off. Lastly but most importantly carry yourself confidently.

Important tips:

Use good quality cosmetics that suit your skin type and skin tone, and discard expired cosmetics because their continuous use can lead to infections. For removing the make up use oil-free makeup remover that does not clog the pores.

If you carefully follow the above mentioned tips, you are sure to learn about the right make up for your face. Moreover, with time and practice you will also discover other important details that will help you to customize the face make up procedures to suit your facial skin and features.

When natural oils, called sebum, build up on the skin, bacteria, which is normally present, feed on them. Sebum has some natural antibacterial activity, but only when it is initially secreted. Olive “leaf” extract has some natural antibacterial activity, too. But, it is due to a compound that is not present in the oil.

If the sebum and the bacteria continue to build up, pimples or blemishes can occur. After a while, if it is not cleaned away, odor occurs. Cleansers are an important part of any skincare ritual. While an olive oil facial cleanser might be alright for occasional use, it is not something that you would want to use on a daily basis.

People with excessive dryness may find that the popular cleansers are irritating. My suggestion is tea tree oil. It might sound like I am contradicting myself, but tea tree oil has natural antibacterial activity. Another excellent choice is manuka honey. It, too, has natural antibacterial and antioxidant activity.

The problem with most cleansers is that they contain petroleum-based alcohols. These cause burning, redness and irritation. They strip away sebum, which only stimulates the production of more. So, they are a bad choice for people with excessive oiliness or excessive dryness.

One of the things that an olive oil facial cleanser could provide is moisture. But, the cleansing would come from the use of clean clothes and warm water, not from the olive oil, itself. Your best bet is to use a gentle cleansing solution on a daily basis. There are many on the market.

On a bi-weekly or an occasional basis, use a deep cleansing mask. You may have tried masks before and found that they dried out after a few minutes. They were difficult to remove and might even have caused some irritation.

There are new masks on the market that will not dry out, because they contain macadamia oil. That is a luxurious moisturizer that soothes and nourishes the skin’s layers.

The cleansing ingredients in the mask are bentone gel, allantoin and kaolin. You will not find those ingredients in an olive oil facial cleanser. They are extracts from clay and sugar beets that work together to absorb excessive oils and pull dirt out of the pores.

Regardless of how dry your skin is, there is dirt and pollutants that need to be removed on a daily basis. There is no need to use an abrasive cleanser. But you do need to use something that has some cleansing activity.

Do yourself a favor. After cleansing, follow up with a nourishing moisturizer. Use one that contains grape seed oil during the day and one that contains avocado oil at night. You are not likely to be happy with the results of an olive oil facial cleanser. But, you have other options.

Even though some insurance plans do actually cover the cost of wart removal done surgically, people would rather deal with this embarrassing problem in privacy at home if the option is available to them.

There are many products you can purchase online now that are created to safely deal with warts at home. There are also remedies that you can actually make at home using simple ingredients from your local supermarket.

Most of these home remedies use ingredients that are natural and generally don’t create any type of pain. The strength of these remedies actually rivals the more expensive store or internet bought mixtures.

The first remedy we will look at is Salicylic acid. This would have to be the most common treatment that people use from home. You can purchase this product from a pharmacy without a prescription. When using this acid, you need to remember that it can be quite strong and is able to burn the skin, so you need to make sure you only apply it to the warts.

The next home remedy is using duct tape. This is undoubtedly the cheapest of all home remedies. The downside to this method is that it can take some time to see visible results. By continually pulling tape off a wart, it is believed that this action triggers a reaction that causes the immune system to fight the wart and to get rid of it.

Another great method for removing warts at home is to use a cryogenic product that can be obtained also without a prescription from a pharmacy. Dermatologists usually preferred this method, but now these products have become widely available and are no longer restricted to their offices. As with the salicylic acid, you need to be careful when using this type of product.

Garlic is also used by many people to remove warts. You need to cut a slice of garlic, then place it over the wart and then cover it with a bandage. You then leave it on overnight and take it off in the morning. You then need to repeat this procedure each night for two weeks.

Similar to garlic is tea tree oil. This oil is a strong antibacterial and antiseptic. Using tea tree oil is a great way to stop the spreading of warts. You can use a cotton wool pad to softly dap the effected area several times a day. After a few days or sometimes a week or more, the wart should start to disappear.

The last remedy involves using apple cider vinegar. You do the same thing as you did with the tea tree oil except instead of putting oil on the cotton wool pad, you soak it in vinegar. Hold the vinegar in place by using a band-aid and leave it on overnight. Again, it should take several days or a week or more for the wart to disappear.

DDF BP Gel also includes Tea Tree Oil

DDF BP Gel contains 5 percent benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide works well to treat acne, and 5 percent is a mild but effective concentration. This cream also contains tea tree oil. Tea tree oil is generally beneficial for your skin, and it fights acne as well. It has antibacterial properties that help prevent acne breakouts. Most people who use this cream notice that their skin feels better after a week of applying the cream. It is effective to cure acne and it doesn’t dry your skin out.

Acne Solutions Emergency Gel Lotion by Clinique

This product has many positive customer reviews. It really helps to fight acne that keeps reappearing. It unclogs pores filled with bacteria and controls oil production on your skin. You will see reduced redness and inflammation in just a few days. Clinique Acne Solutions is a strong cream with high concentration of benzoyl peroxide. One disadvantage – it is more expensive than other acne control products.

Persa Gel by Johnson and Johnson

Works very effectively to treat present acne spots and to prevent feature breakouts of blackheads and whiteheads. This product also contains benzoyl peroxide; the concentration of it is 10 percent. This is the highest concentration allowed for non prescription acne medicine. Persa Gel is water based, so it works for all skin types. This is a very popular acne cream; you can find it in any chemist shop.

Blemish Double Agent Treatment from Biore

This cream is not benzoyl peroxide based; instead it protects your skin from acne by sealing in salicylic acid. It also keeps out the dirt to prevent farther inflammation. The manufacturer claims that you will see blemishes reduced after one application, most people report seeing results in 3 – 5 days. It is gentle and doesn’t dry your skin.

Oxy 10 Balance Emergency Spot Treatment

This is a very strong acne cream that will cure the worst of acne. However, use it with care; it only should be used to cure existing acne, not as a preventive method. It also might irritate sensitive skin, so if you applied Oxy 10 and your skin feels irritated, this product is not for you.

Clinique Acne Solutions Concealing Cream

This cream belongs to the same line of Acne Solutions by Clinique as the gel mentioned before. This is not a medicine as such, but a make up item. Everybody who has acne knows that finding the right make up to hide it is a problem. Most foundations and concealers only make your acne worse. In contrast Acne Solutions Consealing Cream is specifically formulated for acne affected skin. It heals acne as well as hides it. If you use make up for acne, this cream works very well to conseal blemishes. But like all Clinique products it is not cheap.

Natural hearbal acne creams

You would be surprized but you can make some effective natural acne creams at home. One effective treatment is a mix of banana, avocado and vitamin E ointment. You can buy vitamin E concentrated cream in a chemist or order it online. To make the cream take half a tea spoon of vitamin E ointment, one small avocado and half a banana and blend them in a blender. Apply this acne remedy to your face and keep for several minutes.

Natural acne remedies work very well for some people. The only disadvantage is that you can not store them like you would do with a bought cream. For example banana and avocado cream can stay in your fredge for a day, but not much longer.

A word of caution

Acne creams are effective in getting rid of acne, but most of them have the same drawback. It makes your skin very sensative to sunlight. So when you use an acne control cream, use a good sunblock cream as well.

If you decided to get rid of your acne try some of the acne creams we reviewed. Instead of squeezing and pinching your pimples, apply an acne cream treatment once a day for at least a week. You will see how much better your skin will look.

Tea Tree Oil (a key ingredient in Zap It!) has significant antiseptic properties to fight against the majority of skin infections. It can also impede rashes caused by parasites and insects. It stops the itching and calms the inflammation normally associated with eczema, psoriasis and topical skin flares. But, the very best thing about tea tree oil is that if you have an unidentified area of pimples, patch testing with diluted tea tree or a good quality tea tree cream on a small area will not hurt it and it may well go on to cure it.

Acne — Zap It! Tea Tree Oil


Acne can strike at any age, it can be caused by stress, a hormone imbalance, pollutants, a poor cleansing routine or hereditary. Zap-it!®, with both tea tree oil and Salicylic acid (which is naturally found in several plants, such as willow, birch and wintergreen) is a safe treatment for those skin conditions that need the dead scaly skin removed so that the natural ingredients can penetrate to work more effectively.

Melaleuca oil is specifically mentioned for having antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial and acaricidal actions against skin infections such as acne, herpes and scabies in the following abstract.

-Adverse and beneficial effects of plant extracts on skin and skin disorders. Adverse Drug React Toxicol Rev. 2001 Jun;20(2):89-103.

This was the first peer-reviewed paper about the effects of melaleuca oil on acne. It concludes that the treatment of acne with melaleuca oil results in fewer side effects than a treatment of benzoyl peroxide.

-A comparative study of tea-tree oil versus benzoylperoxide in the treatment of acne. Med J Aust. 1990 Oct 15;153(8):455-8.


Salicylic acid, which is the main active ingredient in Zap-it!®, is a safe treatment for skin conditions that need the dead scaly skin removed so that the natural ingredients, such as melaleuca oil, can penetrate to work more effectively. It is naturally found in several plants, such as willow, birch trees and wintergreen leaves. Salicylic acid applied on pads reduced the number of acne lesions and was well tolerated.

-Treatment of acne vulgaris with salicylic acid pads. Clin Ther. 1992 Mar-Apr;14(2):247-53.

In this comparison study, salicylic acid was superior to benzoyl peroxide for the treatment of acne. Comparison of a salicylic acid cleanser and a benzoyl peroxide wash in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Clin Ther.1989 Mar-Apr;11(2):264-7.

-Zap It!Melaleuca oil for treatment of skin conditions caused by other organisms.

That is the beauty of such a broad-spectrum antiseptic substance, it does not matter what sort of organism caused the skin infection and associated irritation, melaleuca oil helps to alleviate it:

The way that melaleuca oil can easily penetrate the skin suggests it may be suitable for use in the treatment of fungal mucosal and cutaneous infections.

-In vitro activity of tea tree oil against Candida albicans mycelial conversion and other pathogenic fungi. J Chemother. 2001 Aug;13(4):377-83.

Unlike the normal antibacterial topical medicines, diluted melaleuca oil can maintain the beneficial skin bacteria while getting rid of the nastier strains that cause the problems.

Susceptibility of transient and commensal skin flora to the essential oil of Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree oil). Am J Infect Control. 1996 Jun;24(3):186-9. And don’t forget the viral skin infections. A 6% tea tree dilution in gel form shows significant results against reoccurring herpes labialis (Cold sores).

Melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) oil gel (6%) for the treatment of recurrent herpes labialis Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy (2001) 48, 450-451


More serious skin infections: Staphylococcus aureus is a strain of bacteria that lives naturally on the skin. When an over-growth occurs it can cause minor infections, such as pus-filled spots and boils, etc. When it becomes resistant to the strongest antibiotics that we have, it becomes known as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or golden-staph. This can also live on the skin without causing any problem to the host. But, when it is transferred to another less-healthy individual or it infects a wound, it can become life threatening. MRSA/Golden staph, claims tens of thousands of lives every year. Melaleuca oil has been shown to inhibit and even destroy it, both in vitro and in vivo.

-Staphylococcus aureus and wounds: A review of tea tree oil as a promising antimicrobial agent. Am J Infect Control. 2004 Nov;32(7):402-8.

This controlled trial in a hospital found that tea tree preparations used in the

decolonization of MRSA were effective, safe and well tolerated.

-A randomized, controlled trial of tea tree topical preparations versus a standard topical regimen for the clearance of MRSA colonization. J Hosp Infect. 2004 Apr;56(4):283-6.

Great facial skin care starts by understanding the sun destroys collagen through repeated sun exposure. Skin texture naturally changes over time and can lead to dry and rough-textured skin. The environment and lifestyle choices we make can affect skin tone, causing sun and age spots known as hyper-pigmentation.

Most of us start off with even skin color and tone but as our skin is exposed to environmental pollutants, the sun, and UVA & UVB rays, it begins to change and takes on an aged appearance. The best facial skin care avoids certain types of oils like mineral and coconut, which can potentially clog your pores and may even be detrimental to the health of your skin.

Here is a summary of four oils that provide critical benefits to an effective, long-lasting facial skin care program:

1. Wheat Germ Oil – A rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, wheat germ oil is known as the acne fighter. Wheat germ oil is documented to be effective in treating acne, blemishes, and provides antioxidant protective properties. Look for an anti aging skin care product that has wheat germ oil as an ingredient if acne is a problem.

2. Almond Oil – has been known for centuries for its ability to nourish and soothe sensitive skin. All skin types can use an anti aging skin care product with an almond oil base.

3. Tea Tree Oil – has been used in the Far East culture for generations as a skin healer.

Additionally, it carries oxygen into the hair follicles, reducing and killing bacteria that lead to pimples. All skin types can benefit from an anti aging skin care product with pure tea tree oil extract.

4. Jojoba Oil – helps reduce the production of unsightly skin oil while actually strengthening the skin. Every facial skin care program can benefit by an anti aging skin care product with jojoba oil as the base.

As we age, moisture levels in the skin begin to drop causing it to become dry and dehydrated which, in turn, makes fine lines and wrinkles very noticeable. A leading dermatologist says that the correct oil fills in the spaces between the cells in the upper levels of the skin. By filling the spaces, oil-based products smooth and lubricate aging skin. Additionally, oils are significantly easier to absorb into the skin as opposed to water-based moisturizers due to their chemical structures.

Emu oil has been used for thousands of years by Australian aboriginals to treat a variety of skin conditions. It is an excellent component of good skin care, whether prevention, symptom relief or accelerated healing of skin rashes is the goal.

Emu oil contains natural anti-inflammatory, pain relieving and bacteriostatic agents, which promote faster healing and help prevent scarring. As a moisturizer, it penetrates deep into the skin, without leaving a greasy film, and is non-comedogenic

Sea Buckthorn Oil Extract

Sea Buckthorn Oil Extract is manufactured by Floraleads GR from wildcrafted berries of Sea Buckthorn by multistage cold extraction into virgin olive oil. The proprietary extraction technology is based on the methods originally developed in Russia, where Sea Buckthorn oil became available as a commercial product in the middle of 20th century. It was further improved with advanced biocompatible techniques to obtain safe, potent, stable, all-natural skin care product. Because we do not fortify the extract and berries composition varies from one lot to another, the nutrients content on the label is given as a range. Sea Buckthorn oil extract is all natural product, free of artificial ingredients, traces of organic solvents, synthetic additives and preservatives.

Tea Tree Oil

Treat cuts, scrapes, insect bites and stings, and other minor skin wounds and irritations. Tea tree oil blends rapidly and easily with the skin’s own oils. In the process, the oil alters the chemical barrier of the skin, making it less hospitable to the growth of fungi and other organisms. In these ways, tea tree oil not only lessens the chance of infection, it also promotes healing and reduces the likelihood of scarring.

Fight fungal nail infections, jock itch, and athlete’s foot. Tea tree oil has been shown to be effective in countering Trichophyton, the fungus that causes numerous topical infections, including athlete’s foot and jock itch.

Mouthwashes and gargles

Mouthwashes and gargles can easily be made. Add 1-2 drops of the selected essential oil to a cup of distilled water. Mix well and use as a mouthwash or gargle. An example would be to add 3-4 drops of Tea Tree oil to a cup of distilled water or vinegar for use at the first sign of a sore throat.

Sprays and spritzers

Sprays and spritzers are fun to use. Simply fill a small, spray-topped, bottle with distilled water, and add the selected essential oil to the water. A good gauge is 10-15 drops of oil into four ounces of distilled water. Since oil and water do not mix, it is important to remember to shake the bottle before spraying. Once prepared, it can be sprayed onto the affected area of the skin three to four times a day.

Carrier oils:

The most common way to dilute a pure essential oil is with cold-pressed carrier oil. Carrier oils allow the essential oil to slowly permeate the skin, protecting it from possible inflammation. Jojoba, sesame, sweet almond, olive, rose hip, wheat germ, evening of primrose, grapeseed, kukui nut, sunflower, hazelnut, safflower, avocado or apricot kernel oils are the most commonly used. Several of the carrier oils can be combined and when essential oils are added, this makes for very nutrient-rich bath oil.

There are a lot of homemade wart removal solutions available on the Internet. Some are tried-and-tested, while some are questionable. One solution may work better than another since there are different types of warts and different skin types as well. Most homemade wart removal solutions use natural ingredients like plant extracts, oils, or fruits and vegetables. Though these are effective, the speed of treatment can vary depending on the size and nature of the wart.

One of the best homemade wart removal solutions is Aloe sap. Aloe is a common plant that has been noted for it’s many benefits to the hair and skin. Aloe is also used as herbal medicine and as a means to avoid spread of infection on a wound.  Applying Aloe to a wart helps lessen irritation or discomfort and speed up healing. Aloe also helps soften the skin, and in effect, the wart, so it can be removed easily.

Another reliable solution is the use of tea tree oil. Pure tea tree oil has numerous medical and cosmetic benefits, and is used as an antiseptic. Rubbing tea tree oil on a wart helps remove the wart and reduce chances of spreading the wart. Rubbing Vitamin E oil also helps reduce chances of spreading the wart and helps dry it out while allowing the skin to heal properly.

The use of fruits and vegetables such as garlic, potato and banana peels are also ideal since they are safe, risk-free and not costly. All one has to do is to rub a piece of any of the three on the wart daily, and in a few weeks, the wart disappears. Garlic and potato have been proven to be very beneficial for the body, and this is just one of the many ways it can help as herbal medicine.

It is also highly recommended that in-between using any of these homemade solutions, a pumice stone or emery board should be used to file down the wart and soften it for easier removal. It can take up to 12 weeks to remove a wart, depending on how persistent it is, but it needn’t be a cause for worry. Warts do go away in time with treatment, and starting immediate treatment once a wart is detected helps stop the spread of one wart to another part of the body.

When faced with all these options, the best homemade solution really depends on you. The best homemade wart removal solution depends on your skin type, wart type and availability of the ingredients. It also depends on the speed of healing and how well the infected area healed. You may discover other solutions better suited for you, but don’t forget to consult a doctor if the infection seems serious and refuses to go away.
