If you wear makeup often, it is important to get into a good routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin each evening. By getting into a good routine now, you can help slow the clock when it comes to aging, by maintain your skin in better condition.
Cleansing your skin will remove the old makeup that has been on your face that day. It will also clear away the accumulation of grease and grime that has collected on your face due to environmental conditions or from touching your face throughout the day.
Before you begin, pull your hair back from your face to ensure that you are able to clean all of the skin up to the hair line. Begin by removing the mascara. When doing this, be careful not to stretch the skin. When cleaning around your eyes, use cotton balls to remove the mascara and eye shadow using a quality cleansing lotion, preferably one that is designed for eye makeup.
When it comes to the rest of your face, you can use your hands. Massage the cleansing cream into the skin paying close attention to the areas where you are prone to blackheads and other blemishes. By massaging the cream into your skin, you help ensure the removal of any buildup of makeup, grease, and grime will be removed from the pores in your skin and help limit the occurrence of acne.
Once you have thoroughly cleansed your face, gently remove it with a cotton ball or a tissue so you can then move on to toning.
Even though you have cleansed your skin at night, it is always a wise choice to get into the habit of cleaning your face in the morning. This gives you a clean slate in which to apply your makeup.

How to Use a Face Cleanser
Give me a few minutes and I will give you some work out suggestions to avoid osteoporosis, guest blogger!
Nearly ten million Americans have osteoporosis, and another 34 million have low bone mass, (osteopenia).
A disease with no symptoms, osteoporosis affects about 20 percent of men and 80 % of women. While the bones gradually become weaker, they will probably break due to a minor fall or, if left untreated, even from something as simple as a sneeze.
The most common fracture sites are hip, wrist and spine, although any bone in your body may be affected. A diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis tend to be scary, leading most of us to quit exercise because of fear it will cause fractures. The reality is that those with low bone mass should try to exercise on a regular basis.
Being active has been shown to not simply assist in preventing osteoporosis, but slow bone loss once it’s already begun.
Before beginning a training program, you have to talk with a medical expert for guidelines, as level of bone loss determines exactly what workout is best.
Physicians can assess bone mineral density and fracture risk by scanning your body with a special type of X-ray machine. As well as exercise, treatment may include dietary modifications and/or estrogen replacement therapy.
The more you know in regards to this condition, the more you can do to help prevent its onset.
To make strength and bone mass, both weight-bearing and strength training work outs are ideal.
Weight-bearing work outs are those that require the bones to completely support your weight against gravity.
Examples are walking, jogging, stair climbing, dancing or using an elliptical machine.
Non-weight bearing exercises include biking, swimming, water aerobics and rowing.
Weight-bearing activities such as walking less than 3 times per week will benefit the bones.
Strength training places mechanical force (stress) on the body, that might increases bone density.
Start by lifting light weights, moving in a slow and controlled manner, increasing resistance as you become stronger.
It is recommended that folks with osteoporosis avoid the following kinds of activity:
* Step aerobics and high-impact activities including running, jumping, tennis.
* Activities that involve rounding, bending and twisting of the spine.
* Moving the legs sideways or across the body, particularly when performed against resistance.
* Rowing machines, trampolines.
* Any movement that involves pulling on the head and neck.
Exercise Tips:
* Even if you do not have osteoporosis, you should seek advice from your health care provider before you begin a workout program.
* Make sure you warm up before starting and cool down at the conclusion of each exercise session.
* To find the best profit to your bone health, combine a number of different weight-bearing exercises.
* As you build strength, increase resistance, or weights, instead of repetitions.
* Be sure you drink plenty of water whenever exercising.
* Vary the types of exercise that you try every week.
* Combine weight bearing and resistance exercise with aerobic exercises to help you improve your general health.
* Bring your friend along to help you keep going or in addition to this, bring your family and encourage them to be healthy.
* Add more physical activity to your day; take the stairs vs. the elevator, park further way, and walk to your co-worker’s office instead of emailing.
Put LIVE into action!
L – Load or weight-bearing exercises make a difference to your bones
I – Intensity builds stronger bones.
V – Vary the types of exercise as well as your routine to keep interested.
E – Enjoy your exercises. Make exercise fun so you will continue in to the future!
Certain factors increase the probability of developing osteoporosis.
While a few of these risk factors are controllable, others won’t be.
Risk factors that could be controlled are: Sedentary lifestyle, excess intake of protein, sodium, caffeine and/or alcohol, smoking, calcium and Vitamin D deficiencies and taking certain medicines.
Body size (small frame), gender, family history and ethnicity are risk factors that are not to be controlled.
Women can lose nearly 20 percent of their bone mass in the five to seven years after menopause, driving them to more vulnerable to osteoporosis.
It’s never too early to start considering bone mineral density.
About 85-90 percent of adult bone mass is acquired by age 18 in girls and 20 in boys.
Nutrition and Exercise for Healthy Bones in childhood and Adolescence
Much of the reserve of healthy bone is built in youth and before the age of 30.
Women can be more vulnerable to an inadequate foundation process at this time than men.
Sufficient calcium intake, a comprehensive diet with lots of vegetables and fruits and load-bearing exercise are the tips for solid bone growth when you are young.
Then, with continued exercise into old age “- which applies to men as well — bone density decline could be kept to a minimum.
Although women are the main focus of information about osteoporosis and low bone density (osteopenia), some men are also seriously afflicted by this problem.
Even if you do all the right things while growing up and into adulthood, your inherited characteristics “- your genes -“
can present you with bones that are susceptible to osteoporosis. This is even greater reason to maximize your lifestyle to prevent poor bone health.

Dandruff: What Is It and How You Get It?
It starts out subtly for most. You wear a dark colored shirt to work one day and notice little white specks adorning the shoulder area. For others, it starts with an itchy head that just won’t quit. However it may start, chances are everyone, at some point in their lives, has experienced dandruff.
Dandruff is described by WikiPedia as: “the excessive shedding of dead skin cells from the scalp.” Encyclopedia.com defines dandruff as “…also known as Seborrheic dermatitis, swelling of the upper layers of the skin on the scalp…”
Simply put, Dandruff is dead skin cells on the scalp. For some people the prescience of dandruff is minor. They don’t notice much, if any, flaking, and are able to treat their dandruff with an OTC dandruff shampoo. For others the problem can be more persistent or severe. People experiencing severe dandruff may be prone to sores on the head, larger flaking, and severe itching. In cases such as these, most often a trip to the dermatologist and a prescription shampoo may be in order.
Several different factors can cause or contribute to dandruff.
Dry Skin: Simply having dry skin–the kind you get during the winter months when the air is colder and rooms tend to be overheated–is one of the most common causes of dandruff. Dandruff flakes from dry skin tend to be somewhat smaller and less oily then those that are from other causes.
Irritated and oily skin: Also known as Seborrheic Dermatitis. This is another frequent cause of dandruff and is marked by red, greasy skin covered with flakey white or yellow scales. This affects not only your scalp, but other areas that are rich in oil glands such as eyebrows, the sides of your nose, and backs of your ears.
Not Shampooing Enough: Failure to regularly wash your hair can result in the build up of oils and skin cells, causing dandruff to form.
Psoriasis: This is a skin disorder that causes an accumulation of dead skin cells that form thick, silvery scales.
Eczema: Eczema on the scalp can cause or contribute to dandruff.
Sensitivity To Hair Care Products: Also known as contact dermatitis. Often times sensitivities to certain hair care products or hair dyes can cause a red, itchy, scaling scalp. Shampooing too much or using to many hair care products can also lead to dandruff.
A yeast-like fungus called Malassezia: Malassezia lives on the scalps of many healthy adults without issue. But there are times that it can grow out of control, feeding on the oils are secreted by the hair follicles. This can lead to irritation of the skin on your scalp and cause more skin cell to grow. These extra skin cells die and then fall off, clumping together with oil from your hair and scalp. The cause of an overgrowth of Malassezia isn’t know, however having too much oil on your scalp, changes in hormones, stress, illness, among other factors may contribute.
You can develop dandruff at any time, even if you have never had dandruff in the past. The key to preventing dandruff from getting any worse is to promptly treat it by shampooing with an anti-dandruff shampoo or by visiting your dermatologist for more in-depth and advanced treatment.

Halloween Makeup Tips Ideas
Halloween is just about around the corner. Have you line up which Halloween party you want to invited to? Possibly this year is the year you have the Halloween party for all the grownups in the area? Have you decided what you want to be yet?
Most men really dig going looking as grossed out as possible and some years you are cool about it but what if this year that just isn’t your thing? What if you want to really be that sexy playboy bunny or Marilyn Monroe, evil genie, a fairy or something like that? And you are just not sure how to do your makeup? You just don’t want to go one more year wearing ripped up clothes, and dirty things.
This could be you!
Have you ever wondered just what it would take to do Marilyn Monroe’s makeup? Easy steps would a great idea right? How about a video that shows you how? Well we got one!
Halloween Makeup DVD by Beauty Cast!
This year you are going to be wearing a costume that is going to turn you into a knockout! Making every man in the room wish they were your date! Now you know if you buy the wig, shoes and more its going to cost you almost $100.00 plus costume!
Do you want your Halloween makeup to reflect you normal everyday makeup or do you to really look like a playboy bunny, or farm maid, sexy cop?
Want to wow them tonight, dressing up to be something you are not can be so much fun!
One of the reasons we dress up for Halloween is to truly be someone we would never be in real life. Temptress’s of the night anyone? Don’t you want just for one night forget all the troubles in the world and just play?
The style of Halloween makeup you will need to do is going to be a bit harder a little to do because you need more not less but not looking like you went at it with a paint brush.
Why not have a DVD that shows you step by step how to turn a plain Jane into a hot siren of the night..
Now if you want the Traditional Halloween Makeup Tips?
- Where would we be without the traditional corpse look? If you are holding a Halloween party or going to one you can certainly scare a few people with this disguise. In order to really look like a dead man walking you need to know how to apply corpse paint.
- Apply base paint: This white base paint should make your complexion lighter but not become a mask like a cheerful clown. That is not the effect you want. Spooky pallor is the idea here.
- Eye shadow: This should be dark blue, purple, or even black. Apply around your eyes from brow to lash. Do not forget to add some under the eyes, to really look the part!
- Eyeliner: put a generous amount around the eyes. This will help to accentuate your eye shadow.
- Lipstick: some people use black but if you really want to be a zombie you might consider purple.
Additional strategies: to keep the white base intact you can put a dusting of white powder over before applying the rest of your makeup.
Remember do not blend this make up use translucent powder between layers of base paint. Be careful what you are using you do not want to look like nothing on earth after the event due to allergies or eye reactions. Read directions carefully and test a small patch of skin if necessary.
- To really look scary you can dress up as a murder victim with fake wounds and blood! Here are a few tips for this.
Making non toxic blood:
- Mix 3 parts of corn syrup to 1 part of water
- Add red food coloring drop by drop until a realistic blood color is reached
- Mix chocolate syrup as a thickener
- Let stand in a warm atmosphere for around 10 minutes
- Apply and see how scary you can be
To make this “blood” come out of your mouth:
Take a big mouthful of the non toxic blood and let it trickle out of our mouth. Let it flow down your neck and onto your costume, to really look authentic. Remember to wear old clothes as it can stain light cloth.
Make a fake wound: You can draw these with a marker or really go to town with more a more realistic look. Just make an oval with a blue pen, next circle it with a red pen, then blend it a little to look natural. Draw some lines adjacent to the wound and rub them in to look like the wound is still fresh and bleeding. You can use some of your fake blood to really get nasty.
You can make variations on these 2 disguises and shock your friends with some Halloween fun. Enjoy!
Five Mistakes to Avoid when Creating Beautiful Hair
Pretty girl holding flower
Beautiful hair is a thing that many people crave but few know how to achieve. In fact it is not a complicated matter. When creating beautiful hair you will need to understand the common blunders that most people make.
- Not conditioning your hair: One of the most common mistakes that people make is neglecting to use conditioner every time you wash your hair. When you do not do this your hair will be prone to split ends. Also it will be frizzier and get tangled easier.
- Wrong style: Many people do not fully understand the shape of their face when they style their hair. There are many different shapes of faces. Some have round faces others heart shaped and still more have angular shaped faces. As you age your face will go through subtle changes in shape. Resist the temptation to try every new trend when it is not suitable to your face.
- Choice of products: Be very careful about what products you select for your hair. Your hair is a delicate thing and using the wrong products on it can be very detrimental to your look. Hair has different types; oily, dry or normal. You should adapt your shampoo and conditioner to suit your own hair type. Try to use natural products like coconut oil rather than ones with many chemicals.
- Dark roots: If you want to be a shade more blond than you really are, do not let those dark roots show. Touch them up at home, if possible, or go to your favorite salon. Nothing makes a beautiful blond tackier than dark roots showing through.
- Braiding and tying your hair: try not to braid or tie your hair too tight. This will pull your roots and weaken your hair. It can even lead to your hair falling out.
- Brushing your hair: Never pull at your hair when you brush it and get tangles. Gently try to loosen up the tangle before you brush it. Do not rush when brushing hair, take your time and give it slow firm strokes. This will spread the sebum evenly within your hair, help blood flow to the scalp and of course get rid of loose skin and debris from your hair.
- Be careful of color products: using cheap ones can damage your hair and even cause it to fall out. Always consult your hairdresser as to which color product is best for your hair. When using a new product you should test it on a lock of hair first. Sometimes the color is not quite what you expected. Remember to match the color to your particular skin tone and color. Not everyone looks good blond or a vibrant red.
- It is not wise to cut your own hair: If you want a short style try to have patience and make an appointment with your stylist. Unless you are expert it is very hard to style your hair and even trimming can be a little tricky.
With these points you will be able to take care of your most beautiful asset, your hair. When you take care of your hair you will be ensuring that you will look your best for many years to come.

Five Beauty Tips for Beautiful Hair
It is everyone’s dream to have beautiful hair. Women spend hours at the hairdresser and beauty shops doing just that. However you can have a beautiful head of hair without going to expensive salons and spending hours being preened by your hairdresser. The most important thing to care about is actually your scalp. This is where many of the problems with your hair begin. Here are 5 up to date beauty haircare tips to help you.
1. Brushing your hair: do not just tear at your hair when you brush it. Give it firm but gentle strokes. The old adage of giving your hair 100 strokes is not wrong; in fact it is very good for your hair. It increases the blood flow to your scalp, gets rid of old dead skin cells and supplies the hair with sebum. Always brush your hair before you wash it.
2. Massaging your scalp: This is done using the tips of your fingers and making circular movements. You should do this on a daily basis. Doing a daily massage will bring the blood to your scalp and help to lubricate your scalp.
3. Washing your hair: Try not to wash your hair daily. This will dry out your scalp and stimulate your sebum glands. This will make your hair too oily and irritate your scalp. Always be careful when choosing a shampoo. It should match your hair type. Remember what works for your best friend may not necessarily work for you. When washing your hair do not pile it up always let it hang down when shampooing. Prior to applying shampoo, wet your hair with warm water using a gentle force of water from the shower. Massage the shampoo into your scalp and gently rub it into your hair. Rinse with warm water, not hot, and handle hair gently to remove shampoo. When you use your conditioner just apply to ends and roots of your hair. Towel dry your hair gently and air dry. Do not sleep in wet hair. Never brush wet hair.
4. Conditioning: use a conditioner when you shampoo. To apply this type of conditioner wash your hair and apply it to your ends. This will stop your ends from drying out. It will also keep your hair in the best possible condition. Tangles and knots can also be controlled with a good conditioner. Every week try to apply a deep conditioner. Coconut oil is good for this purpose. Wash your hair and then apply your conditioner. Wrap your hair in a warm towel, to open the hair follicles, for 10 minutes. Then rinse with warm water to rinse off the conditioner after this rinse with cool water, to close the hair follicles.
5. Trimming your hair: This should be done every 6 weeks for short hair and 8 weeks for long hair. This will stop split ends from building up and stimulates your hair to grow.
When you take care of your hair you will be taking care of your greatest asset. It will ensure that you have beautiful lovely locks for every occasion.

Caring for your skin, giving it a natural glow!
The most beautiful, head-turning heart stopping women in this world today all have one thing in common: gorgeous, radiant skin. When your skin is healthy and vibrant, its like a light switch has been turn on inside of you, and the world is drawn to that light. You don’t need to be a celebrity to make a statement with your skin. Even if you feel your complexion is beyond repair, all you need is a few simple strategies to follow that will help get your skin back to being picture ready.
Rule number 1: Healthy mind ~ Healthy body ~ meaning getting enough exercise, eating right and drinking lots of water. Getting enough sleep all adds up to beautiful skin. Simple huh?
Rule number 2: Never give up on your skin and your appearance!! It doesn’t matter how old you are, how heavy or thin you might be. There is always something you can do to help yourself improve the way your skin looks and feel. You just need to take the time to take care of number 1 ~ That means you!!!
Hormone changes through out our life’s can and will have a cause and affect on our skin. At adolescence, the effect is nearly always to produce excess oils.
This is why it’s a good idea to start caring for your skin while in your teens. Start building your own skincare routine and stick to it. Because it just seems so unfair that just as you are starting to be attracted to the opposite sex, you are very often suffering from oily skin, blackheads, blemishes or the biggest problem ever, Acne!
How do you care for your skin while it seems like all hell as broken free all over your face and you have a date? Start washing your face every morning and before going to bed to help keep that oil at bay. If you have really oily skin you may have to wash your face more than twice a day BUT don’t wash it more than three times a day because your face will react but you got it creating even more oil! If you do have acne or just want to know the best way to take care of your face, visit your Dermatologist, she will be able to help set up the best skincare routine.
Also don’t worry, as we get older most of us more on to having clear skin and no matter what you felt all those times when you felt you had the biggest blemish ever and everyone was staring at it, sorry but they were not, they were too busy thinking the same about their own blemish.
Remember once you have found products that work, don’t go jumping around and trying something new all the time. Stick with what works for your face and you too will glow!
While you are at it, check out Natural Empathy skincare line.. The best the UK has to offer and its now at Overall Beauty!

How do I Remove the Dark Circles Under My Eyes?
We’ve all had them from time to time – those wonderful dark circles under our eyes that either means tiredness or a good night before, amongst other things. Whether you’re a young party goers or someone of an older disposition, these often-unattractive patterns are there for everyone to see. But what causes them and how can we remove them?
The Causes of Dark Circles Under Eyes
There are a number of ways that dark circles under eyes can be caused, and although they are more prevalent in people of an older age, they can affect the young too. Some of the more common reasons for dark circles are: · Old age. As we grow older, our skin becomes more translucent and this in turn makes the veins underneath our skin come to the fore. This results in the dark circle look.
· Diet. We’ve all heard of how a balanced diet is good for our overall health, and this includes our eyes. Lack of nutrients can lead to our bodies breaking down, again leading to dark circles under our eyes.
· Sleep deprivation. Whether you’re burning the candles at both ends, or suffer from sleep problems, the end result is the same, and often more pronounced as the eyes get puffier when tired.
How can I remove Dark Circles Under my Eyes?
Although they can be slightly ugly and give you a more haggard appearance than normal, the good news is that dark circles under the eyes can be cared for quite easily, and are not usually permanent (unless there is a bigger underlying issue, such as insomnia, where medical advice should be sought).
“There is a great product by Ella Blue called Shadow Magnet.. It works to help hide the dark circles! Check out Shadow Magnet by visiting Overall Beauty ~ Ella Blue Shadow Magnet comes in Light or Natural.”
There are a number of ways you can help prevent the build-up of dark circles in the first place, and they include:
· If you’re out in bright sunshine, always wear dark sunglasses. Combine this with a strong sunscreen for the area around your eyes, such as Factor 30 – not only will this protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays, it will keep your skin strong.
· Drink lots of water. Pure water has long been associated with smoother skin and an effective barrier against aging. · Get as much rest as you can. Not only will you feel more alert yourself, your eyes will feel less strained, reducing the chances of dark circles under them.
If you have already noticed that you have dark circles under your eyes, then there are a number of methods you can make use of to reduce the circles, and they can all be used with simple household items:
Cut some cool cucumber into two slices and apply them over your closed eyelids. Leave them on for 15 minutes for the best results.
Similarly, get two cool teabags (normal tea, though, not herbal) and apply them to your closed eyes as you would the cucumber.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables with Vitamin C and iron. When these two vitamins are combined, they strengthen the skin, once again reducing the chances of dark circles under the eyes.

Are Sulfate-Free Shampoos Really Better for your Hair?
If you are like anyone else, you love to wash your hair at least every other day of not daily. As you lather up you can help but love the feeling of all those bubbles but did you know that the very ingredients that give you that amazing lather may also be the most damaging to your hair?
Most mainstream shampoos contain sulfates which is great for making lots of lather but not so great for your personal health, your hairs health and even the environments health.
So why are the mainstream companies still using sulfates in their brands of shampoos?
For the most part it is because sulfates are cheap to make and create lots of lather. Being that we are all have become accustom to the idea that lots of bubbles means really clean hair they keep making cheap shampoo’s.
Just what are sulfates and why are they an issue? You will find the in the shampoo’s ingredient listed as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) which are in fact really a harsh chemical surfactants that are found in lots of other products including toothpaste. They are known to cause eye and skin irritation plus when you use shampoo that contains these ingredients they can be absorbed through the skin.
Did you know that sulfates are really far from being gentle and can be causing damage on the very thing you are trying to pamper? Yes your hair! Sulfates are very drying and can damage hair follicles which could lead to hair loss. All because we really enjoy our amazing lather while washing our hair. It can also strip the hair and scalp of essential oils causing that drying effect. Worse if you are spending lots of money to color your hair, it causes the color to fade quicker so you have to get your hair colored more often.
If you want to change your brand of shampoo and start looking into more natural and or organic shampoos but don’t know what to look for? Here are a few tips on what to look for while reading the shampoo bottle label.
Look for ingredients such as gylcerine and glucosides that come naturally from corn and sugar. Usually found on the label as decyl glucodisde or coco-glucoside. These ingredients won’t give you that lots of lather you maybe accustom to but try it for a few weeks and your hair will become healthier, shinier, silkier and softer. Now isn’t that a great trade off?
One finally thought, sulfate-free shampoos; are going to cost a bit more than your mainstream shampoos do because of their ingredients. So don’t be surprised at that, but you will in fact use less to cleanse your hair and your hair will be better over all. Isn’t that worth a extra few dollars at the counter? Your hair will love you for it!

Easy Makeup Tips for you to share
I came across a few beauty make up tips I thought you might like to know:
Never apply moisturizer to the eyelids before your eye shadow because it will cause it to crease and not last as long. Use instead a Makeup Primer to help make your eye shadow stay put. Benefit has a awesome one called F Y Eye that really works if you want to spend $22.00 on it. Overall Beauty offers one that is basically the same without that price. Its called Eye Fixit and you can find here: Eye Fixit
You should exfoliate your lips regularly to keep the texture smooth and soft. You can do this right after your shower. Just apply lip balm and wait a minute or so and take a soft bristle toothbrush and brush your lips. You can use your towel too if you like. What every you do just remember to apply a lip balm again to help keep your lips kissable soft. Wear a lip balm at all times if you are not wearing lip gloss or lipstick.
Sunscreen all year around no matter were you live!! Did you know that the sun is brighter and harder on your skin in the winter time? Something about how it reflects off the ground and hits you right in the face double time! Wear your sunscreen! If you wear a foundation that says it has sunscreen in it, that isn’t enough in most cases. Check the SPF if its below 15 you need to add sunscreen.
