Facial massage at home

Here i'm describing you the basic facial steps & a video link at the end for you to know how to give yourself facial massage.

Remember, The After glow depends upon how effective products you use in your Facial care..

Step 1) Steaming(optional)-to open your pores and prepare your face for cleaning.

To do this, simply soak a soft towel in a bowl of comfortably warm herbal tea (chamomile is one of my favorites). Wring out the towel and place it over your face and neck area and relax until it cools slightly. You may repeat this process, as it is quite soothing.

Step 2) CLEANSING- Use upward, circular movements of the fingertips to gently stimulate the skin and help lift surface debris and excess oil. Rinse with warm water and gently pat excess moisture from face with a soft towel. If you wear heavy make-up, you might wish to repeat the cleansing process.

Step 3) EXFOLIATING- Using your fingers, rub a gentle exfoliating facial scrub in a circular motion on your face. Concentrate on the areas around your nose and forehead or if you have combo skin, work harder on the areas that tend to be "greasy." Rinse your face well since exfoliating scrubs tend to be drying.

Step 4) TONING:- help balance the pH of the skin as it is typically disturbed during the cleansing process.

Apply the toner with a soft cotton pad, but do not rub the skin. Rather, saturate the pad and pat the toner over the face and neck area. Do not pat skin dry.Avoid eye area when using this toner. You skin is now ready for moisturizing.

(Once in a week , You can follow these steps (2,3) then apply a Mask.Follow it with a toner & moisturizer .that is what it is called CLEANSING in saloons.It helps to tame down the harsh effects on your skin of pollution etc. & keeps your skin healthy for a long term)

Step 5) FACIAL MASSAGE- Select a nice facial cream as per skin type.& follow the instructions in this Video.

Step 6) Mask: -Apply the mask, avoiding the areas around the eyes. Keep it on for 10-20 minutes (or, according to the directions on the product). Rinse completely. You can even make your own face mask.

Step7) Moisturize- Smooth on a soothing, basic moisturizer over your face and neck.

How to apply make up with simple steps

Hi Friends,

Today I'm gonna explain how can u apply make up with simple steps to follow & a video at the end to explain u better.

Enjoy!

1) Do the basic daily care( cleanse,tone,moisturize).moisturizer would act as a base for your long lasting make up.& u wont really need a primer.

2)Apply primer (Optional)-primer provides a smooth finish that will make foundation easier to apply.

3)CONCEALER- after priming, apply concealer where needed -on dark circles ,to hide pimples etc.

(you can use your fingers to blend a yellow-toned concealer under the eyes to lighten and brighten shadows and any redness.dab dab that under the eyes and blend, then cover that with a layer of creamy concealer that matches the skin tone perfectly. Make sure you blend really well with a brush or fingers.Apply it where ever you see uneven skin tone or spots or redness.)

4) Time to apply foundation- Choosing a right foundation for your skin can really make a +ve change on your skin.It'll make your skin look bright,youthful & glowing.(At Jafra,We'll help u to choose the right foundation & colors)
 Use your fingertips or a foundation brush to smooth and blend a foundation that perfectly matches your skin tone over your face, including your eyelids.

5) Translucent powder/Mineral powder:- This is an amazing thing we've got here.Powder is used to make your skin appear Flawless & Silky Smooth.It sets the foundation.Also it helps your make up to last longer.without wearing away.

So a must to have in your Make up wardrobe.Blend well with a brush & dust it on your face.

 (Dry Skin -Avoid it.Combination Skin-apply on t zone & can apply on whole face if not dry,Oily Skin-BEST for you,As it helps to control the Shine giving you a matte effect.)

6) Smile and apply a small amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks using an upward and outward motion. The apple is the area under the iris of the eye and just below your nostrils to the hairline and temple.

Blush comes mainly 2 types (cream based,powder based).Both looks great.choose as per your personality.(creamy blusher should be avoided by very oily skin)

 Apply a bronzer - a warmer shade than your natural tone - on your forehead , center of your nose & chin- Just touch ups.These areas reflects light so will add grace)

7) Eye Shadow:-Eyes are one of the best feature of Your face.Let's highlight it. Apply a light eye shadow to your upper eyelids & below the eye brows.then dark one on your eye lid.

it depends on you if you wanna give it a smoky look or simple & sweet one.Use a Highlighter (the lightest shade like white/skin/cream shade OR fine glitters in your eye shadow kit) just exactly down to eyebrows.& on the corners of your eyes.

8) Apply a nice eyeliner.These days wide range of colors is available.choose a complimenting or matching eye liner according to your dress & which suits your eyes best.Otherwise,go for evergreen Black.(applying eye liner is an art-keep practicing till you master it,it really is capable to change your face looks.)

9) Mascara- now time to apply mascara.to make your eye lashes look thicker,apply 2-3 coats carefully.also use eye lash curler before applying mascara to add an effect to your lashes.(you can also use the back side of a spoon & hold your eyelash parallel to the bend of spoon' tale-a nice effective tip from my relative).

Apply mascara on your eye brows after applying brow pencil on your brows.it will make it look thick.

10) apply a lip liner to define your lips(almost matching your lipstick or gloss shade).Also It helps to prevent the lipstick from spreading.(for fuller lips-apply inside parallel to inner boundary of your lips.for thin lips:-apply lill outside following the outer boundary of your lips)

11) Apply a lipstick.& follow with a nice lip gloss.OR simply apply apply a gloss without lipstick.(gloss gives your lips a sexy look.

Tip: (choose a lip gloss that tastes well)

12) (optional):- If you want your face to glow ( apply a luminescent powder or shine powder lightly on your temples,chin,cheeks)-really not necessary if you are already using a shining blusher (comes as powder that contains fine shiny particles)
& you are ready to mesmerize your audience!

Reviews/JAFRA

Nana sharing her Massage Experience with JAFRA in her Hawai tour

 "Jafra has products for everything from the top of the head to the tip of the toes. Here are just a few."

"(above with green face - actually a mud mask containing salt from the Dead Sea)."

"Our male volunteer also found the Jafra/Massage experience very relaxing."

"I learned that royal jelly is the special food produced to feed the queen bee in a hive. The supply of royal jelly is nowhere near that of honey. Royal jelly is the key ingredient in many products.

One example of royal jelly being put to use is in a multi-purose vitamin.

Here is a snapshot of our hostess, Chris. She is a good example of the success in the use of the Jafa Royal Jelly line. Her skin was really pretty (luminous). She also uses Jafa products(Spa) for her hair."

"The smile on our friend's face expresses the enjoyment felt when having, and after, a Jafra/Massage experience!"

Skin care tip

"Use a moisturizer on damp or just washed skin,preferably twice a day"-


Actually, This way your skin will absorb moisture better & lock it.
I prefer JUST WASHED SKIN because your skin is fresh & toning is important which better work on just washed skin.Then apply moisturizer.






(I'll keep posting the best of what I've learnt so far. 
 all these things are tried & tested & has fetched good results.Feel free to share your secrets)


Take care & keep Smiling!

 Cilantro(Dhania) has a cooling effect, as well as anti-inflammatory properties, making it a nice addition to sensitive skin formulations.  Cilantro is also believed to help lighten the skin and even out pigmentation.  This factor makes the fresh herb very desirable for anti-aging treatments. 

This simple facial mask recipe uses fresh, pureed cilantro with a variety of other cleansing, exfoliating, and detoxifying ingredients.  This is a great mask for all skin types, but mature skin, sensitive skin, and red skin will love it the most.  If you have oily skin, try swapping out the White Kaolin Clay for a stronger variety such as French Green Clay.
