By now you must know that turmeric is a superfood with plenty of benefits. You can add it to your smoothie, salad or tea to help fight inflammation and to get a good source of fiber, vitamins and magnesium. But did you know turmeric can also improve your skin?
Studies have shown that curcumin, a chemical compound found in turmeric, can decrease UV damage (it's a natural antioxidant) and clear up acne (it's also antibacterial) when applied to skin. While you can probably make some homemade remedies, beauty brands have made it easy for you to buy your favorite turmeric-infused products at your local beauty store. Brightening & Exfoliating Masks For under $50, you can find 2-in-1 turmeric brightening and exfoliating masks, which contain exfoliating alpha hydroxy acids to address hyperpigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. Pore Toner Some toners feature soothing turmeric, alongside a slew of other nourishing ingredients like aloe to balance skin while seriously turning up the glow factor in your complexion. Spot Treatments Ever have a zit? Then you must know something about benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid - two of the most effective acne-fighting ingredients out there, but they can easily cause dryness and irritation if used too aggressively. Brighten discoloration and target blemishes the gentle way with a turmeric spot treatment. Cleanser Get yourself a facial cleanser with turmeric extract. It’ll leave your skin clean and refreshed without drying it out. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

Here are five simple steps to help your makeup last through the day.
Prep your skin It’s best to start by cleansing and exfoliating skin, which can help you control any excess sebum. Even the oiliest of skin needs hydration. A gel-based lotion or moisturiser will hydrate the skin without leaving it slick or greasy. Use a mattifying primer A mattifying primer will help conceal shine, grease, and excess buildup before your makeup application. As you shop, you'll also want to look for oil-fighting ingredients like charcoal and clay. Choose the best foundation Pick between a powder and a mattifying liquid foundation. You can go as light as a tinted moisturizer that won’t slip off and leave streaks on your face. Go oil free Since normal skin naturally produces more than enough oil, invest in makeup products (especially foundation and blush) that are oil-free and noncomedogenic, which means they don't clog your pores. Ask your dermatologist if cleaners and toners infused with glycolic acids, which cut down on excess oil, are right for you. Look for “long wear” Water and oil can do the same things to makeup: make it smear, smudge, or slip. That's a reason to stick to eye products that are waterproof, water-resistant, or long-wear. One of the best, long-wear combos is water-resistant eyeliner and cream eye shadow over an eye primer. If you found this helpful then let me know in the comments section below.

And that’s why we love subtle face-framing hairstyles that are based on your face shape or hair color.
Highlights Face-framing highlights are a coloring technique that cleverly brings out your most attractive features. Explain to your hairstylist that you are looking for strategically placed waves and carefully selected coloring clues that will offer hints as to where the eye should be drawn. Usually the color is placed where the sun would naturally highlight your hair. Oval shape There’s no shortage of options when it comes to layered haircuts that will suit your face shape. Since your symmetrical shape gives you a bit of leeway, consider emphasizing its symmetry with some face-framing bangs—curtain bangs, to be exact. Lob with Face-Framing Layers A traditional lob can sometimes look heavy at the front, especially if you have thick hair. Framing chin-length layers around your face will soften this hairstyle and accentuate your features. Bangs Shorter face-framing layers like curtain bangs are a perfect choice to hide a bigger forehead and bring attention to your cheekbones. Blow dry your fringe upwards and downwards with a medium-size round brush to achieve a chic look. Long layers While layers are one of the best ways to elevate your long hairstyle, we like the idea of facial framing. Some layering around your face will emphasize your features and jazz up the style. Part your hair in the middle or wear it swept to one side to create different looks.

Before you spend all your money at an expensive department store or beauty counter, we recommend browsing through your kitchen cabinets for the best moisturizing ingredients.
Honey Honey is not only deeply moisturizing but also has antibacterial properties, and it helps clean out your pores. Raw honey and manuka honey are also known to prevent acne breakouts, especially during winters. It clarifies skin by opening up and unclogging pores. It’s also a great moisturizer that soothes irritation and blemishes, and it leaves a lovely afterglow. Try a moisturizing honey mask at home. Turmeric Turmeric is a spice with anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial properties - all to say it’s perfect for keeping your skin hydrated too. Raw turmeric is especially beneficial for the skin and can be directly applied after turning into a paste. If you only have powdered or dry turmeric at home, mix it with milk before applying onto the skin. Coconut oil Coconut oil is one of our favorite ingredients because you can do so much with it - especially in the winter! Use it as a makeup remover, exfoliant, cuticle cream and even a shaving cream! It will prevent razor burns and dryness on your legs after shaving, just by applying a thin layer. The result will leave your legs feeling super soft, smooth, and moisturized. For those particular harsh winter days, sleep with a DIY face mask made from coconut oil to restore hydration. Sugar You can create your own sugar body scrub to exfoliate your skin this winter. Or, you can get one at GlaminatorBeautyBar.com. Our Sugar Scrub formula harnesses the powers of raw cane sugar, emu oil, & coconut oil to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate your skin. A lightweight and whipped scrub penetrates deeply to leave your skin smooth, hydrated and clean. A subtle hint of therapeutic lavender essential oil will seduce your senses.
