Sheer Goddess Skin Care

14 Tips for Strong and Healthy Nails:

1. To keep your nails hydrated, rub a small amount of petroleum jelly into your cuticle and the skin surrounding your nails every evening before you go to bed or whenever your nails feel dry. Keep a jar in your purse, desk drawer, car — anywhere you might need it. Not a fan of petroleum jelly? Substitute castor oil. It’s thick and contains vitamin E, which is great for your cuticles. Or head to your kitchen cupboard and grab the olive oil — it also works to moisturize your nails.

2. Wear rubber gloves whenever you do housework or wash dishes. Most household chores, from gardening to scrubbing the bathroom to washing dishes, are murderous on your nails. To protect your digits from dirt and harsh cleaners, cover them with vinyl gloves whenever it’s chore time. And for extra hand softness, apply hand cream before you put on the rubber gloves.

3. When pushing back your cuticles (it is not necessary to cut them) come in at a 45-degree angle and be very gentle. Otherwise the cuticle will become damaged, weakening the entire nail.

4. Trim your toenails straight across to avoid ingrown toenails

5. Dry your hands for at least two minutes after doing the dishes, taking a bath/shower, etc. Also dry your toes thoroughly after swimming or showering. Leaving them damp increases your risk of fungal infection.

6. Air out your work boots and athletic shoes. Better yet, keep two pairs and switch between them so you’re never putting your feet into damp, sweaty shoes, which could lead to fungal infections.

7. Wear 100 percent cotton socks. They’re best for absorbing dampness, thus preventing fungal infections.

8. Stretch out the beauty of a manicure by applying a fresh top coat every day.

9. Make your nails as strong as a horse’s hooves, and take 300 micrograms of the B vitamin biotin four to six times a day. Long ago, veterinarians discovered that biotin strengthened horses’ hooves, which are made from keratin, the same substance in human nails. Swiss researchers found that people who took 2.5 milligrams of biotin a day for 5.5 months had firmer, harder nails. In a U.S. study, 63 percent of people taking biotin for brittle nails experienced an improvement.

10. Add a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg to your daily diet. Rich in zinc, they’ll do wonders for your nails, especially if your nails are spotted with white, a sign of low zinc intake.

11. File your nails correctly. To keep your nails at their strongest, avoid filing in a back-and-forth motion — only go in one direction. And never file just after you’ve gotten out of a shower or bath — wet nails break more easily.

12. Massage your nails to keep them extra strong and shiny. Nails buffing increases blood supply to the nail, which stimulates the matrix of the nail to grow.

13. Polish your nails, even if it’s just with a clear coat. It protects them. If you prefer color, use a base coat, two thin coats of color, and a top coat. Color should last at least seven days but should be removed after 10 days.

14. Avoid polish removers with acetone or formaldehyde. They’re terribly drying to nails. Use acetate-based removers instead.

Tips for Beautiful Lips

I have recently discovered a few tips to help lips remain smooth, moist, and hold their color longer:

• Brush your lips in the morning with either a soft toothbrush or a warm washcloth to remove any old skin cells. Brushing your lips also helps to bring out their natural color. Next, before applying lipstick, apply a lip balm that will help smooth your lips in preparation for the lip color.
• Avoid over-exposure to the sun because it can dry out your lips. If you are going to be in the sun for a long period of time, trying using a lip gloss that contains SPF 15.
• If your lips are extremely chapped, try coating them overnight with either petroleum jelly or aloe vera to bring moisture back to your lips.
• Moisturize your lips nightly before turning out the lights to achieve softer lips. If you don't have a lip balm, eye cream will work as a gentle and effective lip moisturizer.

Quick beauty tip:

Teeth Whitening Products

1. Lemon juice and salt mixture work well in removing
yellowish tint on the teeth. Just make a paste using 1 teaspoon of lemon juice
and 1 teaspoon of salt and rub it on the teeth.

2. The inner white part of the orange skin will give your
teeth a great white shine when rubbed with it.

Color Blocking Your Outfits

Color blocking is an old and new again, but scary. Let me give you a few hint how to use what you have and maybe add one or two new pieces. Ready????

First: you can still use your neutrals - black, gray, navy blue and warm shades of brown, on the top or bottom. Second: Your bright color - red, light green, bright blue, pink, yellow, orange can be worn on the top or bottom. Third: your shoes should be either flesh or black,grey,pink, red or orange. Mix only two colors and a neutral. Example: gray top, pink pants, black shoes. The only print you should be wearing with this outfit is a scarf.

Tomorrow, casual summer dresses.
