Today beauty tipss:How To Stay Melt-Proof

For those days when you need to get made-up and have it last (summer weddings, anyone?), we've got you covered

· For all-day coverage, look for oil-free foundations that contain silicone. They're less likely to budge than oil-based formulas.
· Prime your eyelids. Apply an eyeshadow base before the colour to keep your shadow from fading.
· Ditch regular blush. Cheek stains are great in the summer and last longer than cream or powder blush, giving you a gorgeous glow. They work on lips, too.
· Prevent lash streaks with waterproof mascara.
· Fight shine with oil-free powder make-up or blotting papers.

Fabulously FlutteryWant heavy fringes for your peepers? Get an eyelash curler and follow these simple instructions

Full & Dramatic
These lashes give eyes an elongated shape. Curl and apply lengthening mascara to the upper and lower lashes. Once set, draw a thin stroke of black pencil along your top lash line and smudge it. Then wiggle a volumisingmascara brush against the roots and pull it through. Finally, swish your wand, windshield-wiper style, across your corner lashes to beef them up.

Spider Lashes
Once a sign of bad taste or technique, spider lashes are now desirable. But, they're fuller and more fluttery than before. After curling, coat top and bottom lashes with a volumising formula then curl again and add another three coats of the mascara. Revisit the lash ends with a ball-shaped brush. Hold the wandvertically and use a metronome motion to really get that spiky effect.

Long & Defined
Two coats of lengthening mascara fix a stubby fringe. First, squeeze the wand in a paper towel to wipe off extra liquid. Apply one coat, let it dry completely and swipe on another. Shimmy the brush into your lash line and swiftly pull it through. This rapid wiggle-slick move separates lashes and makes eyes look bigger. Remove clumps by brushing through with a clean wand while the mascara is still wet.

Eye make-up tips for this party season

   

Dermatologist Dr Shah Hussain

Q: I am a 14-year-old girl. My mother always tells me to put on a sunscreen while going out. Why is it important to protect your skin from the sun's rays? Huma Amin, Karachi
A: Over exposure to the sun can harm the skin and result in burns, photo-ageing (damage to the skin caused by exposure to ultraviolet radiation), which leads to wrinkles particularly on the face, and, possibly, skin cancer. It is, therefore, necessary to protect yourself from the sun. To minimise damage, avoid exposure to the sun, especially between 9am and 3pm when the sun is at its peak. In addition to applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen which protects against both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF that is suitable for your skin type when going outdoors, it is advisable to wear sunglasses and to carry an umbrella to protect your face and hair from the sun.

Q: Which skin care products are safe for children and those with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema? Zehra Qureshi, Lahore
A: It is recommended to use a sunscreen that contains a mineral filter like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide because it forms a barrier against the sun's rays and starts protecting your skin as soon as you apply it. The sunscreen should also have a very high level of UVB and UVA protection and be water resistant. It is also important to choose a fragrance-free and hypollaergenic sun screen to prevent skin irritation.

Q: If you're suffering from sun damage what products can you use? Laika, Islamabad
A: It depends on the type and extent of the damage. For burns you can use lotions or creams that contain enoxolone (a compound derived from the root of liquorice), rhamnose (a sugar obtained from poison sumac) and vitamin E, because they help soothe and hydrate the skin. In some cases corticosteroid creams can be applied directly to the sunburn to reduce inflammation and help the skin tissue heal. For severe burns, you may need to receive corticosteroids in the form of pills or injections. If you get hyper-pigmentation you can use whitening creams, chemical peels or even bleaching agents under the supervision of a dermatologist. To reduce the effects of photo-ageing you may require procedures that act on wrinkles and fine lines. In the case of severe damage you can opt for laser surgery.

Q: Can you please advise as to what should be taken into consideration when buying sun care products? Fariyaal Khwaja, Karachi
A: Always choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen, which protects against both UVA and UVB rays. It will also protect you from the burning and ageing effects of the sun. It is also important to choose a sunscreen that is suitable for your skin type: for oily skin, select a fluid or ultra-fluid texture; for normal skin, choose a spray or a light cream; and for dry skin, a rich cream.

Today Beauty Tips

Who says you need a special occasion to enjoy some 'me time'? With the help of these pampering tricks you can transform your home into a spa getaway

Set The Mood
Dim the lights, light some aromatherapy candles and pour yourself a glass of your favourite drink. Play some soothing music on your iPod, turn off the TV and your phone and shut yourself in your room.

Saving Face
Cleanse: Start the pampering session by cleansing your face. It's vital. Use a mild cleanser with warm water to get rid of dirt and grime. Use a makeup remover for eye makeup.

Exfoliate: Dead, dull skin begone! Exfoliation removes the superficial layer of dead cells and also improves blood circulation. This helps in the absorption of skin-care products and regulates skin cell turnover. It also brightens the skin instantly and gives it a lift. Choose a gentle scrub and use it gently too, so you don't abrade the skin.Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: This is a great tip for deep moisturising. Use a light moisturising lotion mixed with calamine lotion. Cool this potion in the fridge for at least half an hour. Massage it freely and generously all over your face and neck. Apply in circular motions and cover the area thrice. Wash off the moisturiser with cold water.Clay-based masks tighten the skin, mildly close the pores and reduce oiliness. Sheet-based masks contain soothing, cooling and brightening ingredients which bring an immediate glow to the skin.

Body Call

Polish It Off: A body scrub will leave your skin glowing in no time. Use a body brush to scrub your back for a creamy and shiny canvas for those backless summer dresses. You can use an oats and aloe vera exfoliant on your body too.
Steam It Up: Steam improves your skin's blood circulation. You don't need a sauna at home to take a steam bath. There are small hand-held facial steamers readily available in the market. But the thing to do is to use three hot towels one after the other with a 30-second contact period for safe and effective warmth to the skin. Follow this up with the moisturiser and calamine mix for deep hydration. But people with sensitive skin should avoid this.
Scrub In
We recommend this excellent homemade scrub for your skin.
Oats and aloe exfoliant:
· 1tbsp finely ground oats
· 1tbsp finely ground almonds
· 1tsp honey
· 1tbsp aloe vera gel
Mix all the ingredients. Apply all over the face, barring the area around your eyes, in a circular motion. Leave it on for two minutes and wash off with cold water.

Foot Fetish
A home spa won't be complete if it doesn't include your tired soles. You can mimic the steps of apedicure at home and get fantastic results. Here's how:
· Soak your feet in hot water with a cleansing agent or cleansing beads for 10 minutes.
Use a mild foot scraper on the superficial dirt and the dead cells. Focus on the heels and the big toes.
· Clean the nails with a nail brush. Cut and file as required without pushing cuticles back. Pat dry with
a towel.
· Use a good foot cream with ingredients like olive or coconut oil, aloe vera or white soft paraffin or a body lotion for dry skin. Moisturise deeply till your feet feel supple
and soft.
· Use a nail cream or a thick moisturiser on the nails.
· Scrub lightly once again to remove any dead skin that the moisturiser had dislodged.
· Apply a light moisturiser like aloe vera or light liquid paraffin again.
· Pat the foot with a very soft towel and paint the toenails.

The Royal Treatment

This is the beauty A-list. Diamond dermabrasions and gold serums, you can have them all… if you have a no-limit credit card. We pick out the crèfme de la crèfme in beauty ingredients

Gold, For 24-carat Skin
Get Your Fix: Gold is used not just in topical skin formulations but also as medicine. Gold is found in creams, gels and serums.

How It Helps: Gold gives radiance to dull skin. It is now widely present in off-the-shelf products as well as in those used exclusively in spas. It increases the skin's moisture levels, helps collagen production and gives the skin a natural glow. Gold-infused products are great for people with reddish skin as it balances the skin tone by adding a yellow tinge.

Fair Warning: Always test the product on the underside of your arm before facial application to rule out an allergy to the metal.

Go Gold: Willing to spend a huge amount of money to get skin that shines like gold? Get a gold leaf facial. Thin gold leaves are laid on your skin before being massaged in. The massage, they claim, lets the gold get absorbed into your skin and the skin cells reject the gold particles as foreign objects. This makes them create more cells in response, to protect it against infiltration, giving your skin the 'glow'. Fool's gold, one might say!

Diamonds, A Girl's
Best Friend
Get Your Fix: Primarily found in face packs and exfoliating scrubs, diamonds are also available in cream and gel forms.

How It Helps: This rock is not just something to flaunt on your fingers. It can help your skin sparkle too. Diamonds are used in products that treat pigmentation to give a glowing skin. Many cosmetic clinics use microdermabrasion equipment with diamond dust on the heads, which makes it very effective for polishing skin. It provides radiance and luminosity to the skin by eliminating dead cells. Being a hard substance, it is a great medium for exfoliation.

Fair Warning: People with sensitive and troubled skin should avoid this as it can cause the skin to look grazed because of its abrasive quality.

Formal vs Laid-back
Whether you need a chic formal do or casual girly locks, we have a look for you.
Formal Look
· This look is great for a night out and matches both eastern and western clothes.
· To get this look, ask your hairstylist to cut your bangs in an asymmetric way, leaving one side slightly longer than the other, so you can sweep them to the side.
Laid-back Look
· For an informal look, hair blow -dried into big waves is perfect.
· To get this look, rub in some volumiser into damp hair. Blow-dry with a round brush to add volume to the ends. Finish by combing your hair into a deep side partition.
