In a tropical climate like our, dead cells accumulate faster, and pollutants and grime add extra layers to the face and body, hiding the glowing skin underneath. Exfoliating (removal of the oldest dead skin cells) will rid your skin of dead cells and revive its sheen and glory. Treatments such as glycolic peels (treatment technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin) are recommended. Microdermabrasion uses tiny rough grains to rid your skin of dead cells, and glycolic peel gets under the skin and ‘unglues’ the top layer. These treatments, however, require many sessions. Instead, opt for over-the-counter cosmetic products and scrubs.
Beauty is indeed skin deep, for what you put in is what you’ll see on the outside. Good health is the foundation of beauty. Exercising at least five times a week for 30 to 40 minutes is a must. Exercise improves circulation. Better blood circulation means better absorption of nutrients and oxygen that lends a lovely glow to the skin.
No more getting caught off-guard when the cute guy calls for an impromptu coffee, or on realizing you have an interview in an hour. Kajal is every woman’s greatest beauty enhancer. It’s the easiest way to lend instant glamour to your peepers.

Keep lip liners handy. The thing about lip liners is they last really long and don’t smudge, so it’s a great quick-fix for the woman on the go. So even if you’ve run out of your favorite lipstick, your lip line will do the trick, and do it well.
The right haircut can be more than just a temporary mood elevator. A haircut every two to four months is necessary to get that right look. A well groomed coiffure speaks volumes about your personality. Visit a good stylist recommended by a friend. Tell her you want a cut that suits your face shape. Discuss the feature you want to accentuate or even out. Pay attention to your haircut and you’ll be well on your way to a new and improved you.
Luscious hair and glowing skin set a glamorous woman apart. A weekly hot oil massage is a must. To help your scalp absorb the oil better, wrap you hair with a hot towel. When it comes to a massage, coconut oil gets a stamp of approval from hair experts. Olive oil can be too heavy for the hair. There’s nothing like a monthly round of henna treatment for silky locks. A special mixture of Mehndi powder, coffee powder and egg yolk works wonders. Vegetarians can substitute eggs with honey. And if you don’t want the color, apply oil first.
