Lip plumper is a popular beauty product used to make lips appear fuller. In appearance, it ranges from translucent to opaque and tinted. A lip plumper can be formulated to be worn alone as a lip gloss. Sheerer versions can be applied under lipstick. These products typically work by irritating the thin, delicate skin of the lips with ingredients like menthol or camphor. This makes the lips swell slightly, which may also diminish the appearance of fine lines in that area. Other perceived benefits include stimulating collagen production and moisturizing. A lip plumper’s effects are temporary, so it must be reapplied throughout the day to maintain the results.

It is really embarrassing to have hair at all unwanted places like cheeks, neck, upper-lip, stomach, back, back of your hands, feet, and other prominent areas of your body. Waxing them off, shaving them, applying irritating crèmes, using epilators, and what not is a big hassle.

The worst thing is that hair comes back within days of its removal and you have to repeat the cycle. Is there something like permanent hair removal? Not really, as it is advertised on national daily’s and magazines. Though they call it permanent hair removal, but the fact is that no treatment is a complete guarantee. The hair is removed to a certain extent, but not forever, not permanently as it is advertised.

There are different techniques of “permanent hair removal”. Use of chemicals, electricity, and lasers is done. It could be a combination of one or two. Electrolysis is considered a good way of permanent hair removal. In the process a hair-thin metal probe is put into the follicle of a hair without damaging the skin and an electric pulse is given to that. In this way, the follicle is made inept of producing any more hair.The problem with this permanent hair removal system is that it is done on every hair follicle and takes a lot of sittings. This way it becomes a very expensive method. It may also cause a lot of discomfort to the skin. You can save money  and do it in privacy with at home electrolysis equipment, but be notified that it takes time, commitment and some skills. Use Silk’n SensEpil (around 500$) or Clean + Easy Deluxe Electrolysis Home.

Laser is another permanent hair removal method. A laser is used in the process where beams of light treat a larger area of hairy skin. The process is less painful than thermolysis, but is more expensive. It is not permanent and not for everyone. Lasers work by emitting light at various wavelengths, energy output, and pulse widths. Most lasers used for hair removal target melanin and are therefore designed to burn structures that contain melanin. In general, laser facial hair removal works best in those with dark hair on lighter skin; blonde, red, or gray hairs are generally less responsive to laser hair removal treatment. It appears that laser treatment, while not causing permanent destruction of all hair follicles, does retard the regrowth of new hair. Most people require a series of 4-6 laser hair removal treatments over time to gradually remove unwanted facial hair. Some people may experience some re-growth, even after multiple treatments. Laser hair removal can be done on almost every part of the body. Nevertheless the common areas which are generally treated are the underarms, tummy line, arms, necks, legs and even on the upper lips.

For unwanted facial hair, try Vaniqa, the only prescription topical cream approved by the FDA and clinically proven to reduce the growth of unwanted facial hair in women. Vaniqa works by inhibiting an enzyme that is needed for cell reproduction and other cell functions necessary for hair growth. Using Vaniqa doesn’t mean you don’t have to deal with unwanted facial hair anymore. Vaniqa works by slowing the growth of hair rather than just removing it. Vaniqa complements your current method of hair removal by reducing the rate of hair growth, so over time you should be removing UFH less frequently.

Whatever choice you make, just be sure that you’ve consulted a doctor before getting permanent hair removal.

Goat’s milk contains lactic acid for alpha hydroxy skin rejuvenation. Old skin cells are easily lost after exposure to alpha hydroxy, therefore leaving the smooth new skin cells. Goat’s milk soap makes our skin amazingly clean, refreshed, so smooth and eliminates the need for so much lotion and creams.

Goat milk soap is often recommended by dermatologists for their patients who suffer from skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, chicken skin and many dry skin conditions.

Here you can see full tutorial on how to make soap using a goat milk.

Only recently facial serums have invaded the beauty market and become one of the most recommended beauty products by dermatologists. So what are these serums, when do you use them, and how can they help your skin? Facial serums in general are intended to: firm and tighten skin, normalize oil production, prevent breakouts, help reduce the signs of aging, and increase your skin’s ability to regenerate cells faster resulting in elasticity and more youthful and brighter looking skin. They are definitely on the pricier side of beauty products since they are so concentrated and full of vitamins. Serums are stronger than moisturizers because they contain up to 70% of active ingredient(s) – moisturizers generally contain 5% to 15% active ingredient(s). But the main difference between a serum and a moisturizer is that a serum has smaller molecules so it is meant to deposit nutrients into the deeper layers of your skin.

Who needs serums? During cold weather season almost everybody’s skin needs hydrating boosts like skin hydrating serums. You can get many types of serums such as anti-aging serums, lifting and energizing serums, skin brightening serums and even acne preventative serums. Serums are also great for people with very oily skin, as they can use them as their moisturizer. There are also skin serums more geared towards oily, acneic skin with large pores, so it is probably best solution for this skin type.

How to apply serums? A face serum is generally applied as part of your daily skin care program, right after the toner but before moisturizing. Apply a drop or two of serum to your fingertips and massage it gently into your face and neck skin in the morning and at night, then follow with your usual moisturizer. Results are visible almost immediately but give it a few weeks to see larger change.

Most popular skin serums are:

• Vichy Aqualia Thermal Serum Concentrate
• Aveeno’s Positively Ageless Rejuvenating Serum
• Darphin Intral Redness Relief Soothing Serum
• Boots No.7 Protect & Perfect Beauty Serum
• UNT AQUA FORTIS Hyaluronic Acid Serum
