Aloe vera is good not just for inflammation and rashes and dry skin but also for pigmentation. It is a remedy for it all. If you have small black spots on your skin then it is due to excessive amounts of melanin.

 

 Yes, due to the cell called melanocytes, the colour of the skin changes to a dark brown or black. Melanocytes are produced due to molanocytes, so the skin gets its own colour. On the other hand, when melanocytes are damaged or they become unhygienic or produce excessive amounts of melanin, then the skin starts turning black and appear in the form of pigmentation on the face. This could happen due to several reasons like:

• Hormonal changes

• Sun exposure   

• Genetic reasons

• Allergy

This will give your hair the much needed fullness and ill loosen up the blow dry.

PUMP THE VOLUME

When you have thin or fine hair you are actually struggling to get some volume, but there is a trick that will help you to get a fairly good volume. Start with a flat iron that has rounded edges and take one inch horizontal sections of hair and clamp down right at the roots. You should keep your wrist up and rotate the iron away from the roots, then hold this for 15 seconds. After you are done with the top layer you must clip it up and work your way underneath making use of the same technique. You will find that you have volume in your hair without the help of back combing or adding any styling products.

GET TEXTURED

Get the beachy waves look, and for this you will have a weighing down effect on your hair. You should curl your entire head with a curling iron, begin with the roots and then go layer by layer, wrap small sections of your hair around the iron without actually closing the clamp. You must hold it here for 10 to 15 seconds and then unwrap, once you have finished use your fingers to gently comb through the curls, but do not use a brush as it will pull the hair out. Finish this by flipping your head over and roughing the roots and you do not really have to use any styling products, this should stay all day!

FINISH

Try and set your hair with a very light weight hairspray if you do not want any extra holding after styling this is especially true when you are going outdoors. Test the hairspray beforehand if you are in doubt whether it is light enough. You could do this by spraying the product into your palm, and if the liquid is opaque then it is going to be too heavy for your fine hair.

CHEEKS

LIPS

In case, you dont own one yet, blend your red lipsick with brown one using lip brush to acheive a earthy marsala hue.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

For Dry Lips:- A dark shade like marsala tends to show up craks on dry lips. Use a tooth brush to remove the dead skin compeletely from your puckers and use lip balm before aplying the color.

For uneven tone:-To camouflage tanned or uneven lip color, mix broun and red shades to create marsala. Apply to coats of brown and finish with hint of red to make it intence.

For thin Lips:- Make you pout look fuller with marsala shade. define the outline of your lips, away from a natural lip line and  apply the marsala color you can finish with a glose.

EYES :- Choose a shimmery light gold eye shadow and swipe on the lids. Define the upper lash line  with a quik sweep of brown eyeliner. Rim the waterline with a bronze eye pencil. you can add a glittery hlighter in the inner corners of the eyes. Brush out the lashes with volumising mascara.

SKIN :- If the corners of your lips are with peeling skin. Could this be an allergic reaction?

There could be a few causes at work here. This may be an allergy to a toothpaste or lipstick. it could also mean that you have a vitamin B or iron deficiency. so take iron, folic acid and B complex  supplements. Another cause could be dryness or that  you lick your lips too much. Sometimes it is  hereditary too. Avoid licking your lips and dont wear lipstick for awhile. use a lip balm or ghee if your lips get dry. Keep the corners of the lips hydrated by using a moisturising cream thrice a day. avoid lip gloses or toothpastes with menthol, mint  or an alcohol base. your dermatologist may give you a miled cortisone cream if there is too much inflammation.

MAKE UP :- If the veins around your lip area very prominent, giving the area a greenish cast that doesnt look quit appealing. How can you conceal this?

Ensure that you prep the lip area with a rich lip  balm like carmex or vaseline regularly before applying make up. you can use some concealer in a shade or two darker than your skin tone all over the lip area to hide your veins before you use the lip color. red corrects green, so wear Reds, Burnt orrange or coral to offset the undertone.

HAIR:- If your scalp gets oily after just a few hours of shampooing. To counter this, start using a mild shampoo to fash your hair daily. If scalp is too oily and your hair has become dry. 

The natural oil secreted by the scalp is called sebum. you need to use sebum control shampoo and conditioner. follow the direction on the back of the bottles, observe the timeline and stop using the product when the problem is resolved. If and when the problem recures, go back to sebum control products. you can switch back and forth. but if the problem persists and you have no respite whatsoever, consult a dermatologist.
