Stretch Mark Removal

Stretch marks usually tend to occur when there has been severe weight loss or pregnancy. There are many treatments and creams out there that promise stretch mark removal an instant cure or something similar over a week.

Do not buy anything until you firstly know the stage of the stretch marks and until you have seen a qualified dermatologist. I have provided a summary of what can be done for stretch mark removal dependant on the colour / stage of the stretch mark.

Stages and possible cures:
1.    White coloured stretch marks: This is a mature stretch mark and is much more difficult to remove as they have been left to scar and age.
Solutions: Dermatologist for consultation; laser treatment (expensive and requires regular treatment)

2.    Red / purple Stretch Mark: Luckily these stretch marks are easier to treat as they are not as mature and aged.
Solutions: Dermatologist for consultation; a high quality retinoid cream can help (but consult Dermatologist before use to understand your stretch mark and any potential side effects) and significant number of people swear that regular use of coconut oil reduces appearance of the marks.

Try to treat your stretch marks as early on as possible (before they age) and visit a dermatologist before applying any strong creams to your skin.

Laser treatments are said to help significantly but can be very expensive and for stretch mark removal will need a number of treatments.

Cosmetics Bronzer

Cosmetics bronzer have been around for years but makeup artists believe that they should be used more often to bring a nice glow to your face. Cosmetics bronzer can actually achieve a similar effect to a nice tanned look but without the damage to your skin (from Sun rays) so why don’t people use them as much?

Simple! Confusion and misunderstanding on how to select your perfect cosmetics bronzer.

Tips on selecting the perfect Cosmetics Bronzer:
•    Only select a cosmetics bronzer after you know your skin tone (visit skin tone post)
•    Select a bronzer that is NO more than 1-2 shades darker than your skin
•    If you have oily skin use a powder based cosmetics bronzer
•    If you have dry skin use a cream based bronzer

Tips on application
•    Build up the colour gradually, less is more with both foundation and bronzers
•    Cosmetics Bronzer Power: Use a wide and feathery brush. Dip the brush into the blusher and shake off excess, apply the colour onto the areas that you want to add glow to, popular choices: Cheeks, chin and forehead and make sure you blend in to make it look natural (Do not use too much, a little goes a long way)
•    With the liquid or cream based bronzer just simply apply using fingers on cheeks, forehead and chin but again make sure you blend in well and don’t apply too much at any one time, build it up slowly!

Hope this increases confidence using a cosmetics bronzer to add a sexy sun kissed glow to your face.
