Skin Care Tips
 
Tip #1 (Tissue Test): One of the most important aspects of taking care of your skin involves knowing exactly what skin type you have. The five basic skin types are sensitive, normal, oily, combination and dry. When you're trying to diagnose your skin type, do a simple test in the morning with a tissue after waking up. This is the easiest way to tell which of the five basic skin types you have. To perform the test, just unfold the tissue, and lay it so that the tissue covers your face. Then press it onto your skin, and remove the tissue to see what it reveals. Use these descriptions to find your skin type in order to take proper care of yourself.
 
Tip #2 (Sensitive Skin): Your tissue will have little-to-no oil left over from your skin. Sensitive skin can become a challenge to treat since it often feels tight and dry with reddish-scaly areas. In addition to this, sensitive skin can itch and tingle with spotty breakouts. If your skin becomes inflamed or irritated easily, then you probably have sensitive skin.
 
Sensitive Skin Care Tips:
Avoid facial exfoliants and cleansers with sand or peach pits to avoid worsening your red skin; instead, use cleansers made with castile soap because it is soothing and gentle on your skin. Do not use facial cleansers that contain large amounts of benzoyl peroxide, alpha-hydroxy-acid (AHA) and/or beta-hydroxy-acid (BHA) since these can irritate acne further. Unfortunately, it can be hard to find a facial cleanser that treats sensitive skin in drugstores because these are the most common ingredients in many cleansers and exfoliants on the market.
Tip #3 (Normal Skin): The tissue will have no oil left over from your face, and your skin will feel plump, glowy and elastic. Lucky for you, this skin type is the easiest to treat and manage because it continues to have healthy circulation and a clear complexion - even with little-to-no care involved. Those lucky enough to have the normal skin type will continue to have clear skin as they age.
 
Normal Skin Care Tips:
The best thing to do if you have normal skin is to wash it every day - morning and night - with gentle soap so you don't irritate the balance that your skin already has. Use a toner if you like, and of course apply a moisturizer daily.
Tip #4 (Oily Skin): If your tissue has traces of oil from where your nose, forehead and cheeks were, then you likely have oily skin. Oily skin is a problem for a lot of girls since it causes skin to look shiny, coarse, thick, greasy, and often leads to uncontrollable breakouts.
 
Oily Skin Care Tips:
To keep your skin looking young and supple, while also keeping it from wrinkling as you get older, use proper facial washes designed to treat oily skin. You won't have any trouble finding treatments for oily skin because there are a variety of products to choose from. But don't use the same soap you use on your body since it will dry your skin out, and leave you with unwanted pimples! Use an exfoliating scrub once or twice a week to combat breakouts.
Tip #5 (Combination Skin): If your tissue has oil on the areas reflecting your nose and forehead only, then your skin type is combination. You are amongst most women, who have a combination of dry and oily skin, and have to use different kinds of care for each zone of their face.
 
Combination Skin Care Tips:
Your dry zones are typically your cheek and eye areas, and these won’t need much attention until the age of 30 or older. The other areas of your face are known as oil zones, and they require daily cleansing and weekly exfoliating with a product designed for oily skin.
Tip #6 (Dry Skin): Girls with dry skin will have a clear tissue, but also skin that feels dry, tight, and flaky once the tissue has been removed. Dry skin is problematic because it is known to age and develop wrinkles faster than oily and combination skin.
 
Dry Skin Care Tips:
You can easily fight off wrinkles and aging by developing healthy skin care habits that involve plenty of moisturizers containing hypoallergenic ingredients. Use lukewarm water to cleanse with since hot water irritates skin. In the winter, these tips are especially important to keep in mind!

How to: Get Perfect Wavy Hair- Like Bella Thorne
Items needed:
• Ponytails
• Hairspray
• Blow-dryer (optional)
Requirements:
• Damp hair
• Long and thick enough hair to be put into several braids.
Steps:
1. Start off with damp hair. You may shower first and let it air dry or blow dry it ( not completely dry ) or just spray your hair with some water and let it air dry or blow dry that. Make sure your hair isn’t soaking wet, but isn’t completely dry either.
2. Divide your hair into many sections. Braid each section. Secure each braid with a ponytail. You should have at least more than five braids in your hair for this to work.
3. It’s usually best to do this before you go to bed but you can do it during the day too. If you did this towards night, go to sleep, and wait until morning to take them all out. If you did this in the day, wait around 7-8 hours to take them out.
4. If you did this before bed, then good morning! Take all of your ponytails out and let your braid unwind. If they don’t unwind all the way, take them apart yourself gently. They should form some beautiful waves. Continue to do this to the rest of your braids. If you did this during the day, just do the same thing.
5. Do not brush your hair once you finish. It will ruin your waves. Hairspray your hair to keep it in place and you’re finished!

How to Get Rocker Chic Hair

How to Get Rocker Chic Hair
Supplies Needed:
 
Boar Bristle Teasing Comb (Amazon)
Bumble and Bumble Hair Spray (Amazon)
Hair Elastic
Bobby Pins
Sick and tired of your boring, old ponytail? Spice it up with this edgy and simple Rocker Chic Hair Style.
 
Here’s how to:
 
1. Part the bang area of your hair and with this hair create the famous “snooki poof” (the bigger the poof, the more bold the look)
 
2. With the hair that is still hanging down on the sides, take a comb and slick the hair back, securing it with bobby pins on the crown area of your head. For a different twist, take the hair on the side and braid the hair to the back and secure with bobby pins. (braids are really in for the summer!)
 
3. With all the hair that’s left over in the back, throw it into a high pony tail
 
4. Take section of the pony tail and tease it with a boar bristle teasing brush to the desired messiness that you want
 
5. Hairspray the pony tail and any fly away in the front
 
Now how hard was that? Give the classic and boring ponytail a little funk by using these steps to make it rocker chic! Even if your style isn’t towards the rocker spectrum of things, you can still do this hair style by just making the poof smaller and the ponytail less teased. I always see girls rocking this chic hairstyle when I go out, whether it be to dinner, a club, and even the gym! Give it a try and don’t be afraid to get a little funky with your normal hair routine.

How to get these 2 hairstyles
(hair down)
EASY WAVES
 
Spritz clean, dry hair with leave-in conditioning spray (we like Aveeno Nourish + Condition Leave-In Treatment), then wrap random sections of the hair around a half-inch curling iron, starting two inches from the roots and leaving a few inches of hair untouched at the ends. Loosen waves with your fingers, then smooth a curl-enhancing cream such as Bumble and Bumble Curl Conscious Calming Creme over the hair for added shine.
 
(hair tied back)
TOUSLED KNOT
First, apply dry shampoo (such as Fekkai Au Naturel Powder Clean Dry Shampoo) or texturizing spray (we love Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray) all over dry hair to add lift at the roots. Then, divide the hair into two sections from crown to nape—as if you were going to create pigtails—and twist them toward your scalp. Tie them in an actual knot and secure an elastic right below it. "If pieces fall out, that's pretty too," says hairstylist Brent Lawler. Finish with a bit more texturizer, then rough it up slightly with your hands.

How to: Get the Ice Rink Workout

How to: Get the Ice Rink Workout
Okay this does not mean that you try to do these on the ice it means somewhere in your home or where there is a flight of stairs.
 
Lesson 1: Limber up
Get your joints moving by rolling your head in slow circles, bouncing your shoulders and rotating your wrists and ankles. Then bend at the waist, sweeping your arms to the floor. Slowly let the movement of your arms swinging upwards pull your body up in one fluid motion.

Lesson 2: Get warm
Hitting the ice cold is a definite no-no. Grab a jump rope and clock 4 minutes of constant skipping. You want to be breaking a sweat, but not panting along just to keep up.

Lesson 3: Catch your breath
Toss the rope, slow down for a sec and find a step. Step up with both feet and put your hand on a rail to stay balance. Wiggle yourself off so just the balls of your feet remain on the step, then drop your heels down until you can feel a stretch in your Achilles tendon. Hold for five seconds, then lift yourself back up. Repeat 15 times. This move will help strengthen your ankles, helpin’ you stay in your boots and on the ice longer.

Lesson 4: Get your jump on
Crank up the cardio with a flight of stairs. Run your way up, taking the steps two at a time. When you get to the top, neatly pivot on the balls of your feet and carefully run back down, pulling your knees up high. Repeat 10 times.

Lesson 5: Kick back
Stretch out on your back on the floor with your legs straight out in front of you and your arms at your sides. Breath in deeply and then exhale through your nose, pressing your tummy to the ground. Using just your abs, lift your legs a few inches off the floor. Hold in the air for a slow count to five, then lower them, using your core to control the speed. Inhale and exhale slowly and deeply, then repeat 15 times. To challenge yourself, lift your legs higher.

Lesson 6: Lunge lady
From the last rep of the preceding lesson, roll over onto your stomach and lift yourself into push-up position. Do a push-up, then jump your feet forward so that you’re crouching on the floor. Jump again, this time straight upward into a standing position. Bring your right leg forward into a lunge, then step it back and drop down into push-up position. Continue from the beginning, alternating lunging legs, 10 times.

Foundation
Makeup Tips
 
Makeup is used to make women appear older, sophisticated, trendy, and of course, it's used to hide pimples, scars, and red areas on the face. Finding the right makeup to use for your own special complexion is difficult because there are hundreds of different brands, colors, formulas, and prices to consider before making a purchase. There are a number of makeup items you can use during the application process including, but not limited to, primer, foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara and lip gloss.
 
Tip #1 (Choosing your Foundation): You can find foundation in a few different formulas including liquid, whipped, cream and powder. Liquid foundations typically come formulated specifically for every skin type; however, liquid foundation isn't always the best choice. Use your skin type as a guide to find the best foundation formula because if you're using the wrong foundation, your skin can look similar to a powdered doughnut, or it can even look like you're wearing a mask. In order to keep any of this from happening, learn how to find the right foundation for your skin type.
 
Tip #2 (Foundation for Dry Skin): If your skin is dry, using a hydrating powder, stick, or an oil-based liquid foundation will give a positive result. Sticks and liquids have both a moisturizing and creamy texture; the hydrating powders are specially designed to release moisture to the skin, while covering better than a normal pressed powder. If you choose to purchase hydrating powder, make sure the packaging says something similar to "compact makeup" or "foundation".
 
Tip #3 (Foundation for Oily Skin): Liquid or powder foundations that are labeled oil-free are ideal for oily skin. Mineral foundations will also work well on oily skin since these products absorb excess oil to give your face a smooth, matte finish. These foundations are good for covering up acne, or when used as a concealer for dark under-eye areas. For skin that has frequent breakouts, use foundation containing salicylic acid to dry the oil-producing glands that create pimples.
 
Tip #4 (Foundation for Combination Skin): Combination skin is best covered up with powder, whipped or cream foundation. You will get strong coverage with any of these products, as well as the added bonus of intense moisturizing benefits. Plus powder, whipped, and cream foundations are all easy to apply, and are better choices than that of a liquid or stick foundation.
 
Tip #5 (Foundation for Sensitive Skin): If you have eczema, rosacea, or you’re highly prone to acne breakouts, then you have sensitive skin. Assuming you have skin that is tight, scaly, red and irritated, then try using a tinted moisturizer. Tinted moisturizers will provide you with light coverage, while also giving your skin plenty of moisture. Another option is to use mineral makeup; however, it’s possible for the mineral makeup to dry your skin, so in combination with this foundation, you should use a toning spray to set and lock in moisture throughout the day.
 
Tip #6 (Foundation for Normal Skin): For skin that has minimal problems with oil, acne or dryness, you'll be able to use almost any formula of foundation.
 
Finding Your Foundation Shade
 
The next time you're at the mall, find a makeup counter and try some of their different shades. When doing this, keep in mind that the skin on the back of your hand is the closest match to the skin on your face; so it's the best place to find a match if you're not wanting to apply lots of different shades on your face. Using natural light can prove to be difficult in a store or mall, but it will reflect more accurately on how the foundation really looks on your skin. It’s also important for you to have a clean face when you're experimenting with different foundation shades.
 
Tip #6 (Fair Skin Tones): Skin that is slightly translucent (having visible veins), pale, or sunburns easily is considered to be fair. The ideal shades of foundation for fair skin tones are ones that have pink or beige undertones.
 
Tip #7 (Olive Skin Tones): Foundations with beige, green, or yellow tones work well with Asian and olive skin tones. Powders that have peachy or pink bases warm up skin that looks unhealthy or pale.
 
Tip #8 (Medium Skin Tones): Neutral, beige, gold, and earth tone shades of foundation wear well on Latina or medium skin tones. If you're using powder, the powder should still be in the neutral earth tones; you might also consider using translucent powder to set the foundation.
 
Tip #9 (Dark Skin Tones): Mango or banana-toned powder will warm up darker skin tones. It’s worth mentioning that when cool colors are used on darker tones, the skin can turn out ashy so avoid these. Also keep in mind that it might be necessary to use two different shades of foundation if you have two different skin tones. Luckily, some foundations are available with two colors for easy blending.
