WrinklesYour skin is full of elastic fibres which give it an ability to stretch and then return to its original position. As you get older the elastic fibres break down and your skin becomes less elastic. Combined with too much drying sunshine, chemical pollution of the atmosphere and a drop in circulating hormone levels that's what causes wrinkles. Here are my quick tips for reducing your wrinkles: 1. Keep out of the sun as much as possible - or use an effective sunscreen cream. The sun is a giant wrinkle-making machine. 2. Use a simple moisturising cream regularly to protect your skin. 3. Keep away from cigarette smoke - if you smoke use a cigarette holder. Smoke will make you screw up your eyes - and that causes wrinkles. You can buy dozens of anti-wrinkle creams but most of them work simply by filling in the wrinkles! Once you wipe off the cream the wrinkles are still there. In my opinion the only permanent way to eradicate wrinkles is to have plastic surgery.

The top 10:
Green leafy vegetables Eat them raw, throw them into a broth, add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and protects the liver.
Lemons You need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body and fresh lemonade is ideal. Its vitamin C, considered the detox vitamin, helps convert toxins into a water-soluble form that's easily flushed away.
Watercress Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And cress is rich in minerals too.
Garlic Add it to everything -- salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.
Green tea This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity.
Broccoli sprouts Get 'em at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
Sesame seeds They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste that's a staple of Asian cooking.
Cabbage There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. Coleslaw, anyone?
Psyllium A plant that's rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran Buds for breakfast.
Fruits, fruits, fruits They're full of almost all the good things above: vitamin C, fiber, nutritious fluids, and all kinds of antioxidants. Besides, nothing tastes better than a ripe mango, fresh berries, or a perfect pear.

THE RIGHT HAIRSTYLE FOR YOUR FACE TYPE
Your hairstyle should suit your facial features and hair texture: . If you have a long face, a short hairstyle, adding width to the sides will suit you. It should not be top heavy. A fringe, or hair falling on the forehead would help. Avoid: Hair hanging long on either side. . For a square face, have your hair cut with soft curls and waves, which fall around the face, playing down the jawline. Take a side-parting. Try a hairstyle which has width on either side of the forehead and curling forward at chin level. Avoid: Tying your hair back tightly. . If you have a round face, shoulder-length hair can be worn straight, with the hair falling straight on either side. Take a centre parting, Avoid: Hair falling on the forehead. . Very fine hair can look good in a blunt cut. It should be cut upto chin length. . For coarse hair, avoid a very short cut, as it can look bushy and stick out. You can wear it long, either with a blunt-cut, or have it ending in a u-shape, with curls. . Very straight hair is difficult to curl. Even if it is cut in layers, it can remain straight. You can have a soft permanent wave if you would like to change the texture.
THE RIGHT WAY TO BLOW DRY YOUR HAIR
If you blow-dry your hair front first, the top and front sides, which usually have less hair, dry up very fast. As you start drying the hair on the back of your head, the front hair gets extra dry or sapped of moisture. The result is that the hair looks frazzled in front making it look uncombed.
So the right way to blow-dry your hair is to start by blow-drying the back first (since that's where most of us have more hair). Use a clip to keep the top section of your hair in place so that you will have more freedom to dry the back of your head.
QUICK STYLING FOR EVENING HAIR
Out for a date this Valentine's? By evening hair can tend to become flat, look lifeless and often stick to your scalp giving it a flat appearance.
Here's quick styling for the evening out: . If your hair has become dry during the day, spray with water to dampen it slightly, then work over with your palm in rotating movements. This will lift the roots and provide instant volume and body. For added height, gently back-comb the crown area, smooth and spray lightly with setting spray. . For short hair which has become flat, apply mousse all over the hair and powder dry using the fast setting of the hairdryer to give instant volume and natural movement. Leave it ruffled or smooth back to original style. . To revitalise naturally curly or wavy hair, tip your head upside down and pump hairspray into the hair roots. Repeat with side sections for all-over volume. Finish by dipping your fingertips into pomade or wax and lightly running through the hair.
ADDING BODY & BOUNCE TO HAIR
Want to add body and bounce to your hair? Try henna. Henna is a wonderful hair conditioner with natural protective and restorative powers. The herb does not alter the structure of the hair, the way some chemical lotions do. Instead, it strengthens, thickens and cleanses hair leaving it shiny and easy to manage.
To get the best results from the henna mask, ensure that the powder is free of impurities. Mix appropriate quantity (depending on the length of hair) of henna with 3 to 4 teaspoons lemon juice. Add a tablespoon or two of powdered dry amla and blend well. For dry hair, add two teaspoons of castor oil. Beat into a thick paste and add some sour curd. Let the paste stand for half an hour (ideally in an iron container) and use dab on hair (including roots).
While applying henna, wear rubber gloves (as you may easily catch the colour). Protect clothes by pulling a towel over your shoulders. Part hair into sections with a tail comb, apply henna on each section and wrap it around the head, till the entire hair is covered. You can wear a plastic cap over this. Leave on for half an hour and wash off with water. Ideally avoid shampooing hair while removing henna .

Growing Out Your Hair
Letting your short hair grow out will often give you some awkward stages to get through but there are several ways to glide through the rough spots. Whether you’re growing it out for a longer, overall length or just to get rid of layers, there’s still maintenance involved.
Of course, the oldest hair is on the ends and the longer your hair is, the more care it will need to keep it shiny and healthy. When growing out their hair, many people want to do it in the quickest manner possible, and that is, not cutting their hair at all. This is far from ideal and leads to breaking and splitting.
Why not make the decision to take it a little slower and keep it shaped and trimmed properly while it’s growing? This means trimming your bottom ends and also the ends of your layers regularly. The trick is to cut at a slower rate than it’s growing. You can go to your stylist a little less often but make it clear that you wish to have longer hair and have her cut off only what’s absolutely necessary.
Life goes on and there are going to be special events to attend while your hair is in an undesirable stage. Besides a regular trim, there are several things you can do to ease the growing pains and still look good:
Growth Tips
Be patient and squash the urge to get a full cut. This is a great opportunity to discover what length looks best on you.
Try out some new hairstyles. Take a cue from celebrities and enjoy diversity.
Invest in some hair accessories such as head-bands, barrettes, bobby pins, hair sticks, and ties. Use these to pin back awkward areas or wear a full-fledged bun or pony-tail.
When growing bangs out, you can pin them back or swoop them to the side.
If your hair is thick, ask your stylist to use thinning scissors to keep your hair more manageable.
Longer hair requires more time to maintain and style. Be sure to rinse out all of your shampoo and condition it properly.
There is no magic pill for hair growth but taking a multi-vitamin, eating healthy foods, and getting your beauty sleep is beneficial to both your hair and skin.
Avoid brushes and use only a wide-toothed comb on wet hair to avoid frizz and split ends.
If you really can’t wait, go to the salon and have a professional add some hair extensions. Keep in mind that this is not a permanent fix and can damage your hair over time. Better yet, buy some inexpensive, clip-on extensions and pony tails.

Pedicures, Tips
Don't even think about going to a beach party or wearing those sexy, strappy sandals without properly groomed toenails. If you're baring them, they're going to be noticed -- so give them some attention and make them feminine and flirty.
Conservative or trendy, we've got some quick tips for home pedicures to make even the dullest toenails look hot and professional! It doesn't take long if you learn the basic routine, then you can modify it however you like. Let's take it step-by-step...

Prepare Your Toenails
Before you begin a home pedicure, you need to remove your old nail polish with polish remover using a cotton ball or swab. Swipe around the edges to ensure the polish is removed completely.
Use clean fingernail clippers to trim your nails straight across. Don't cut them too short, you can then use an emery board or fingernail file to shape your toenails exactly how you want and remove any sharp edges.

Cuticles
Soak your toes in a basin of warm water (with salts if desired) for about 5-10 minutes to clean your toenails and soften up your cuticles. Cuticle cream or lotion can also help soften your cuticles if you plan on trimming away any access. If you want to push back your cuticles, use an orangewood stick to loosen them and press gently back so they don't cover your nail.

Brushing Hair Tips and Tricks Hair Brushing is an activity which is often done without even thinking about it. "My hair needs a brush" - and one minute afterwards it's all done. If hair get's brushed very often, it's important to do it right. First rule: never ever brush wet hair. It's better to leave wet hair alone until it is dry. There are special products on the market to prepare hair for the dry condition, to allow e.g. easy combing. Most of these products are applied in the last wet phase. After applying e.g. a rinser to your hair and drying it off, you can detangle it with your fingers. I suggest to not even comb it in wet condition. Second rule: whenever possible, start to comb your hair before you start to brush. Combing has to be done bottom up. Start combing at the end of your hair. Go through some inches until all knots are combed out, then restart some inches higher. If your hair is really messy today, separate it and comb each strand on its own. After you detangled your hair by this method, you can use a brush to go through the whole length, top down. Don't brush rude. Often the end of a hair fiber is much brighter than the hair cuticle just one inch above. This indicates that the hair fiber was broken, or stretched to rip, which is the result of rude brushing or combing. You have to use a good hair comb / brush. Don't buy cheap plastic stuff! The problem is not that it might rip your hair, but it causes electrostatic, which has an effect like glue - whatever you do with your comb, it will only catch more static. Here's a trick to get rid of static (also known as flying hair): use a mister, and spray some water onto your hair. This will discharge your hair. After brushing you can apply a spray to make your hair more shiny. If it is a good product, it will also protect your hair additionally. If you like to give your hair style and form, you may use styling gels or foams. Additional products will be necessary for a variety of hairstyles, some ladies do use quite some hairspray to protect their long hair during the day to catch static and become flying hair.

Eyebrow Grooming and Tweezing Tips for Men
How your eyebrows are groomed can make a considerable difference in your appearance. Eyebrows help shape your eyes and give you character. If you have bushy eyebrows, it's important to keep them trimmed and well groomed. Most people need some kind of eyebrow maintenance. Many of these tips work well for women as well as men.
Never shave your eyebrows for a quick fix. You will regret it later when they all start growing back in. It will look obvious, and require constant maintenance -- so save the razor for your beard.
Depilatories are not a good idea to use around the eye area and there's plenty of room for mistakes. This can irritate your skin and your hairs will also grow back much quicker than waxing or tweezing.
Waxing your eyebrows is best done professionally, however there are many kits on the market for this purpose. They come with step-by-step instructions to simplify the process. If you decide to do this at home, have a professional do it the first time so you can see how it's done. Be prepared for some temporary discomfort and pain.

Men's Grooming Tips
Keep your fingernails trimmed and clean.
Same for toenails.
Trim your nose hairs occasionally. What you're used to, others may notice.
If you don't iron your clothes, remove them immediately from the dryer so wrinkles don't set.
In hot weather, wear light-colored, cotton clothing and socks. This will absorb less heat and "sweat stains" will be less visible.
Consider trimming your arm pit hairs in warm weather. Less hairs, less bacteria, less smell. Think about it.
Don't be reluctant to trim or tweeze any stray eyebrow hairs.
Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile.
Brush your tongue when you brush your teeth. Your tongue attracts bacteria and can cause bad breath.

Dry HairDry hair is dull, brittle and difficult to manage. It breaks easily and the ends split. The reason for dry hair is a lack of natural oil - probably because the oil producing cells aren't working properly. If you suffer from dry hair you can help yourself by: * Keeping out of the sun and avoiding electric hair dryers and sunlamps. Let your hair dry naturally or dry it carefully with a towel after washing. Too much heat will make the problem worse. * Frequent brushing and combing may help - by stimulating the oil producing glands. * Using a good conditioner. It will give your hair more bounce and make it easier to manage. But don't buy a shampoo that contains a conditioner. That's like trying to put your make-up on while washing your face! Always buy a separate conditioner and apply it after shampooing. * Be especially careful when changing the shape or colour of your hair. Dry hair is very easily damaged so avoid home perms and only let skilled hairdressers handle your hair. * You may be able to improve dry hair by rubbing an oil directly onto your hair and into your scalp.

Brittle NailsBrittle nails - and split edges - are almost certainly caused by putting your hands in strong detergents or by using nail varnish solvents too often. There are numerous branded products available for the treatment of brittle nails. But the best solution is to take care of your nails more carefully! * When washing up use rubber gloves. Modern chemicals are strong enough to strip metal - they'll ruin your skin and nails. * Use a long-handled mop if you do any dishes without your rubber gloves * Try not to change your nail varnish too often. If varnish gets scratched or chipped, touch-up rather than remove and repaint. Cleaning off nail varnish can weaken your nails. While your nails recover keep them short - to minimise the risk of breaking them. I don't think any products sold to harden or condition your nails are worth buying. But do use a moisturising cream around your nails.
