Make your own makeup brush holder

                                                             Here’s what you’ll need,

 

1. Plastic holder

2. Measuring tape

3. Scissors

4. Ruler

5. Glue sttick

6. Pen

7. wrapping paper

8. Hair band

 

                                                        Let's Begin :) 

           Measure the holder from top to bottom with extra 2 inches. 

           (4" + 2" = 6") 

                       Measure the perimeter with extra 1/2 inches 

                       (11" + 1/2" = 11 1/2")  

 

                                   Measure the paper in 6" x 11, 1/2"

                                                     Draw the line

                                                   Cut off the piece

Now cut about 2 inch lines from the outside of paper to the line (this will help the paper to fold over the edges of holder without looking bulky or sloppy)

Add glue to paper  (make sure to coat the edges very well)

Wrap paper around holder, smoothing out any bumps along the way (be sure not to overlap paper on bottom of holder, paper should sit flat to the surface)

                                     Fold edges and paste into holder

         At last, put the band around the holder and set it as your wish. 

                                                                         Your done!

DANDRUFF TREATMENT

What is Dandruff?

Dandruff is simply dead skin shedding from your head at a fast rate. Almost everyone has had dandruff at some point to one degree or another. People with a strong degree of dandruff will experience an itchy scalp.

 
Causes of Dandruff:

The following are items that may cause dandruff:

Hormone imbalance.

Excessive perspiration

Allergic reactions

Excessive stress

Poor hygene

Poor nutritioin/health

Lack of sleep

Inherited genetic trait

Inadequete shampooing and rinsing of the hair.

Tight fitting hats.

Excessive use of hair styling products (gel, mouse, hair dye, hair curler...)

Cold weather

Dry enviroment.

Excessive Heat

Even though dandruff is known as the drying of the scalp, it is most common in people with oily hair.

Dandruff Treatment
Unfortunately there is no cure for dandruff yet (once you get it you may continue to have it), but there are ways that you can control and limit dandruff.

If you have only a mild case of dandruff, shampooing your hair with a regular shampoo daily or twice a day will usually do the trick.

Start out by trying a mild shampoo. Stronger shampoos can irritate and dry out your hair making dandruff flaking worst.

If your standard shampoo doesn't get rid of your dandruff, buy an anti-dandruff shampoo and your dandruff condition should improve signifigantly in a couple of weeks.

Picking the right shampoo for your hair can be a process of trial and error, try out different shampoos to see which one works best for you and also rotating shampoos periodically can be good for your hair.

Once you have found an anti-dandruff shampoo that works for you, keep on using it or your dandruff will most likely reoccur.

If you think you may have a severe case of dandruff, it is advised that you set up an appointment with a dermatologist.

Lather and rinse twice when using anti-dandruff shampoos, the first time cycle will clean your scalp, the second cycle will medicate it.

Poor health may be the cause of your dandruff, so be sure to get enough sleep, eat nutritiously, and avoid stress inducing activities.

Something in your diet may be causing you to have an allergic reaction and trigger dandruff to occur. Try limiting your diet and see if your dandruff gets any better. Some foods that commonly cause an alergic reaction causing dandruff include nuts, choclate and shellfish.

If you have to scratch your head, avoid using your fingernails to scratch (you'll risk an infection if you do). Instead use the pads of your fingers.

Wear a hat outside on days that are extremely cold, windy, and when you're going to be out in the sun for a lengthy period.

Use a humidifier to keep the air moist.

Limit the use of hair coloring and hair styling products with alcohol which dries out hair.

Make sure that you get an adequate ammount of B6 in your diet, which will help prevent dandruff.

Massage your scalp with the pads of your fingers in a circular motion to increase circulation.

Natural Cures and Home Remedies for Pimple Marks

Meanwhile, if the pimple marks are minor, you can try out some of the home remedies to remove them or help them fade away.

• Make a paste by mixing sandalwood powder and gram powder with water. Apply this paste on your face and leave for about an hour before washing it off with cold water.

• Mix sandalwood powder with rose water and milk cream to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on your face and let it dry up naturally. Once the paste has dried up, wash your face with cold water.

• Massage your face gently with olive oil or almond oil every day. These oils provide essential nutrients to the skin and help repair           damaged skin.

• Rub your pimple marks with lemon juice regularly. This may help fade the pimple marks.

• Rub your face with freshly cut slices of vegetables like potato, cucumber, or tomato. This will help cleanse your skin and also help the pimple marks to fade away.

• Use a mud pack prepared with Fuller’s earth to help exfoliate the dead skin cells. Use of mud face packs will help scrape off dead cells and also help in the regeneration of new skin.

• Apply aloe vera gel to wash off your face regularly. Aloe vera gel is beneficial for the skin and can help fade the pimple marks with prolonged use.
