Dark circles under your eye make you look old, tired, and unhealthy. Although there is no serious problem linked to dark circles, still no one probably likes the idea of having them.

Many times you must have noticed red and small bumps over your skin after shaving with a razor, they are called razor burns or razor bumps. The most common reason behind razor bumps is friction between the razor and ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are nothing but hairs that start growing inside a thin layer of skin.

There are two kinds of women- one who struggle with eyeshadows (that’s practically every woman) and the others who do not (they are just blessed souls). Jokes apart, doing your own eye makeup and getting away with it is not everyone’s cup of coffee.

Nobody wants to wake up every day to a wrinkled saggy face staring back at them in the mirror every morning.

Almost 50% of people all over the world regardless of their culture or ethnicity are affected by dandruff. Dandruff is a scalp disorder which can be caused by a number of factors. I am sure most of you reading this must have been affected by it at some point in your life. While getting those white flakes in your hair for a short period of time may not be a cause to worry but the prolonged condition can be really annoying.

Summers are great and we love it because we get to wear all the floral cute dresses. But not everything is great about summers, especially the suntan or sunburns which can make your skin look dull and damaged. When your skin is exposed to sunlight for a long period of time, it starts producing melanin, the pigment which gives your skin it's colour and protects it against the harmful effects of the UV rays of the sun. So the more you stay out in the sun, the more melanin is produced. Over time, this results in skin tan.

ouching up your makeup again and again can be a really annoying task. Since it’s summertime and pretty soon monsoons will arrive running makeup will be a common issue. While it’s advisable to normally avoid makeup during this season but what if you have to attend meetings or go to a party. Certainly you want to look the best but it’s likely that you won’t have the time to touch up your makeup in between.

Shiny nails not just make your hands look beautiful but they are a sign of good health too. Most of us get regular manicures thinking that this will make our nails look good but the truth is that this is just a temporary solution, regular use of nail paints makes your nails lose their natural shine and turn to an ugly yellow color.

Even Though you can cover the damage by using nail paints but in this process you are further damaging your nails by not letting them recover from the damage they have already suffered.

Makeup brushes are crucial to get a airbrushed natural look, especially if you are not very experienced with doing your own makeup. While most famous makeup artists prefer using their fingers to get the right look, a few brushes certainly make the task easier.

But you don’t need to buy a thousand brushes to get the perfect look. While there are a number of makeup brush sets available with 17, 18 or 20 brushes most of them are useless. If you own them you must be aware of this.

Only a few brushes can help you create even the most difficult looks including contouring, dramatic eyes, etc.

You can find tons of beauty tips and tricks on the internet and you must have heard a lot of them growing up from your mom or grandma.

Here are some common myths that have misguided you for too long and you need to stop believing them asap.

I can’t imagine my day without a lipstick neither can most other women. There are always two or three lipsticks rolling at the bottom of my bag.

These quick hacks will lessen your efforts by a tad bit and that perfect pout will not be a dream anymore.

Pampering your skin should not be limited to visiting a spa or a salon. With just a few simple ingredients available in your kitchen you can take care of your skin even at home.

Face masks should be a part of your weekly skincare routine. Try using a face mask twice a week to maintain a healthy and problem free skin. The great thing about DIY masks is that you have control over what ingredients go into the mask and so you can customise them exactly according to your requirement. Additionally, since they are completely natural you can use them without thinking twice.

I love nail paints and my nails are almost always painted. However, I also let my nails stay polish-free once a while to let them gain back their lost shine. But every time I douse my fingers in a nail polish remover and the polish wears off, I end up with ugly yellow stains on my nails.

I am sure most of you must have experienced the same. The pigments in nail-polish (especially the dark ones) and even repeated use of nail polish without giving your nails a chance to recover can cause these stains.

Keratin is the new buzz word in almost every hair salon right now, leaving rebonding behind people seemed to have moved onto keratin. Keratin treatment is known to give you smooth, silky, glossy, and straight hairs. It is nothing less than a miracle, especially for women with frizzy and dry hairs. When your dry, unmanageable tresses get to be turned to silky smooth with investing just a little time and money, probably you won’t even give it a single thought before trying it.

However, before you plunge into getting you hairs treated it is always better to understand the process and what to expect out of it.

Sunscreens are an important element in any skincare routine, we all know how crucial it is to protect our skin from the damaging sun rays. But still, there are so many myths surrounding it from “it causes cancer” to “dark-skinned people don’t need it”.

Having upper lip hair growth is as common as having scalp hairs. However, due to hormonal reasons, some women have thick dark upper lip hairs. Having a moustache on and stepping out of your house can be a nightmare for any women.

Opting for the thread or wax seems the obvious choice to get rid of these unwanted hairs. But what if you don’t have the time to go to a salon or you are just too lazy to step out. Wouldn't it be great if you could remove these hairs at home and at no cost?
