1.Marigold flowers make a weak tea and when used with cotton pad for compression will really help soothe tired eyes. If you do not have nerve strain or anything then you will be glad to apply ice as a pack on your eyes. Just keep it for ten minutes after wrapping it in a towel. But if you have severe eye problems for over two days then you must check in with an ophthalmologist.

2. Be sure to take high vitamin A food. These include pumpkin, squashes, yams, carrots, mangoes, cantaloupe, dairy, eggs and fish. Some of these should be in your diet everyday to give you great eye sight and eye strength for keeps. The effect of nutrition on eyes cannot really be argued upon.

3.If you have dark circles or if you wish to protect your eyes from harsh glare of light and stress then you must understand that there is nothing to beat it than the effects of 8 hours of proper sleep and tons of water. This will get you rid of dark circles and will also help you looking fresh and young.

5.Cucumber or cucumber water as well as grated potatoes and almond oil are great for soothing the eye area. They help your eyes to relax as well as keep them fresh looking. If you apply them you will notice how much more beautiful and fresh your eyes look!

Soaked chamomile tea is really good for the eyes and great to bathe the eyes when you are stressed.

Concealers
Concealer is primarily used to hide flaws on the skin without using all-over foundation. If the right concealer is used, the result can be a beautiful, flawless and natural look.
Choosing a Concealer

You will want to pick a concealer that is about one shade lighter than your natural skin color. To make sure that the color you are buying is right, try to test them out right at the store. Ideally, go to the store without any makeup on and try the concealer right onto your face. However, you can also just test the concealer on the inside of your arm if you would rather not go out of house barefaced. Also, you will also want to choose a concealer that has yellow undertones. That will give you the most natural look.
Applying concealer:

1.Even if you do not have blemishes or other imperfections, you should always apply concealer underneath the eyes. It will help your eyes to look brighter and make your face appear more vibrant.

2.Use liquid concealer for dry skin
3.Use solid concealer for pimples, scars and bruises.
4.Use concealer with yellow undertones to hide dark circles. It will give you the most natural finish possible.
5. Use concealer with blue or green undertones to conceal a ruddy skin tone.

Mix up the mascara


To get the greatest lashes on a shot, usually I find that there's not one perfect mascara out there that gives great all over results.

There's always that one that darkens the most, another that thickens the greatest, etc.

So I tend to use 2 different mascaras on a model. First, the one that darkens, and then the one that thickens or lengthens after that.

You get amazing lashes. It's only two coats anyway, just with two different brands

Health Benefits Of Sauna


Sauna (a finnish word) means a room in which water is splashed on the hot rocks to produce steam (With evolving technology, sauna setup also has witnessed tremendous changes. Many new techniques are being developed and utilized to build new saunas and to control the temperature inside). This steam is then used for its medical benefits in the form of Sauna bath. The temperature at which sauna bath should be taken is controlled by the participants.

Sauna bath opens the pores on skin and helps body to remove toxins and other impurities from within the body and blood. Sauna’s effect on human body shows unpredictable heart condition as the heart beats/pulse rate increases to almost double, causing blood circulation in the body increase towards the skin. In some people the blood pressure goes up and in some people it falls. However, a study carried out on health benefits of sauna by various health case institutes and magazines have stated that the sauna bath is safe for human health and does offer health benefits such as relaxation, weight loss and many more.

Sauna Health benefits
Sauna bath causes sweating & helps in opening skin pores. As we sweat more during sauna bath, it helps in excretion of body toxins and other impurities from the blood. People experience freshness in mood and health for longer time once they take sauna bath, as the body gets cleansed through sweating and muscles are relieved leading to the feeling of well-being. Sauna bath is also useful in joint pains as the warm steam helps blood flow resume effectively in all parts of the body and the contracted muscles are relieved.

It's effectiveness in weight loss has been main reason people choose sauna bath over any other type of exercise. Sauna works positively on our metabolism and increases its speed and intensity, which in turn results in weight loss.

15-20 minutes of sauna is almost equivalent to 1-2 hours of brisk walk or 1 hour of exercise. However, this effect can vary from person to person based on their physical condition.

4 Benefits of a Massage


If I were to tell you some of the most bizarre massage stories as if they were fact, you probably wouldn't believe a single word of it. But in fact, massage can help you in a variety of ways that can enhance your life.

Most people are unfamiliar with the benefits of massage so let's break a few of them down.

1. Muscle tension - Most people have tensed up muscles from injuries, stress, or just everyday work. Massaging the tensed muscles gives them a bit of a stretch. After the massage is completely you will feel the weight of the tension released.

2. Improves circulation - By pressing and massaging the muscles, you are also displacing blood temporarily. When released, more blood seeps back in to that spot. This action over and over again has been shown to stagnant blood moving again.

3. Promotes healing - This falls in line with blood circulation. The better circulation you have at an injury, the more it helps remove toxins and other damaged cells. This promotes the healing process to happen much faster. But this doesn't mean you should massage a broken leg or swollen ankle. You should leave this up to the professionals to decide.

4. Relaxation - A massage can leave you feeling relaxed at the end of it, and for some, during the massage. While you are in a relaxed state your body functions better and your mind is able to think clearer. Sometimes I wonder why we don't have massages every day.

Massages aren't just for women or for the rich and famous. They are for anyone who wants to feel good and improve their body's state.
