Model Diet Tips

One of the best things you can do to look more beautiful is to slim down to your correct body weight.

Weight Loss

Ever heard the popular saying that refers to your eyes being bigger than your stomach? Well, this is often true and although you’re sometimes full halfway through the meal, something tells you you must continue eating and clean your plate.I’m not sure what it is that makes us do this, but I have a strong feeling, somewhere in the back of our mind, we see a vivid picture of granny telling us that if we don’t eat, we just won’t grow. And, which kid doesn’t want to grow big and strong?

If you’re like most people who are brainwashed into cleaning their plate, why not eat off smaller plates? Having a portion-sized meal on a large plate makes it look empty, small and it somehow loses its appeal. However, when you take the same portion and put it on a smaller side plate, it instantly looks bigger and more satisfying.

Eating off smaller plates allows you to control your portions and not overeat. If you’re one of those people who loves to have seconds or thirds, then eating off smaller plates can even benefit you as you will be eating smaller portions of those seconds and/or thirds.

Neck Beauty Guide

Mostly people have numerous beauty tips for face, hands even feet but rarely do these focus on neck beauty. Being one of the most sensitive parts of the body, Pakistani beauty tips should include regular exercise and a compulsory sunscreen for neck beautywhen moving outdoors. Persistent negligence may result in earlier signs of ageing appearing on the neck. Generally women are seen spending huge amounts on expensive products for neck beauty but often forget that consistency in using genuine remedies is the key to the definitive neck beauty guide. Following are few Pakistani beauty tips as a set of neck beauty guides:

• Cleansers

Take some nourishing fruit like strawberries, blend them with milk or cucumber juice and apply the cleanser on your neck thoroughly. This homemade Pakistani beauty tip will act as antioxidant for your neck. Then, raspberries cleanser is another neck beauty guide which provides nourishment with the dose of Vitamin C. This beauty tip will allow for enhanced texture and remove dead cells of your skin.

• Message

This regular exercise provides a simple and time saving method of rejuvenating neck beauty. You can apply coconut, almond or mustard oil on your hands, lay your head backwards and gently rub it up and down your neck. The beauty tip is to take deep breaths while performing the massage and gain immense relaxation through this neck beauty guide. 

• Postures

Maintaining upright pose that allows you to rest is essential. Old Pakistani beauty tip that was balancing books on your head and moving from one corner of the room to another is still applicable today for neck beauty. Another neck beauty guide is to rotate your neck around as much as possible from time to time so that all your muscles are stretched and relaxed allowing for true neck beauty. This beauty tip will also help avoid wrinkles before age.

• Antioxidants in diet 

Fresh fruit and vegetable consumption aids antioxidant agents to be activated in your body providing for enhanced neck beauty. The beauty tip aims in avoiding ageing creases that appear spoiling your neck beauty. Keep these elements in your daily diet and you will observe neck beauty over time.

• Salt

This might sound strange to some people but salt is very beneficial in as a beauty tip for gaining uplifted neck beauty. Salt mixed with lemon juice and turmeric powder make a fine paste for you to apply. People usually face the issue of double chin even at very early age, but if they utilise this neck beauty guide, it is a guarantee that you will get rid of dead cells plus smooth texture.

Although this neck beauty guide is always available for you but some beauty tips that you need to follow day in and day out are application of sunscreen before you leave home and rose water or cold cream when you return from your hectic day. Another important beauty tip is that you consume at least ten to twelve glasses of water daily so that your skin remains glowy from inside allowing for lasting neck beauty.

A Combination Skin

Those who have a combination skin type may have more problems as compared to other types of skin. In combination skin it's difficult to decide that what is more problematic, whether the oil in your skin or the dryness. So, to control both the problems at one time is like a challenge. Combination skin is made up of two types. The 'T' area, which includes forehead, nose, partly cheeks closer to the nose and chin are oily areas whereas other are either dry or normal. Your very first step should be deciding that what actually causes more skin problems to you, oil or dryness. If your skin is shining in the T-zone but looks tight and scaly around your eyes and cheeks, it means that you have to tackle dryness problem. On the other hand, if your cheek and eye areas feel slightly tight but your T-zone is covered with oil and blemishes your combination situation is oily.

Being the tricky and complicated skin type, it needs your extra effort to look after it. Individuals with the combination skin type always encounter two conflicts at one time. First to reduce oil from the oily areas while the other to replace moisture and kill the dryness. In short it requires a skin care for two absolutely different skins.

Here are some of the remedies for those who got combination skin type:

Try to develop the habit of cleansing on daily basis, probably with some good quality milky moisture or moisturizing lotion. Then cleans your face with a cotton wool soaked into the rose water. Clean the whole face through this procedure and take the dirt off and make the skin clean and fresh. Immediately after it, if you will again clean your face with the cotton wool and few drops of lemon or fruit vinegar on it. You can easily clean the T area to take off all the extra oils.

Tackling Hair

This week I’ve been putting two new hair products to the test in the hope that at least one of them might bring my fine hair back to life, because quite frankly, it’s starting to look limp, lack lustre and on the whole, quite pathetic!

Having fine hair has been my bugbear since I can remember. Having fine, straight hair takes the biscuit – especially as someone who craves the body and bounce of J-Lo’s or Rachel McAdams’ voluminous locks. But we always want what we can’t have so since I discovered my fate, I’ve been trying every product under the sun to inject some life into it.

For years I swore by TIGI’s Headbanger Wax Spray but the nozzle always used to get blocked up and break after a week’s use and eventually it was discontinued. More recently it’s been dry shampoo that has been giving my barnet a much needed boost, but this week it’s been Fudge’s new Texture Blaster.

A spray wax that smells a like someone’s filled the can with fresh Pina Colada, I’ve found a spritz and a scrunch is all you need to create that tousled, textured finish. It’s also especially great for adding movement into your layers and giving them some lift so they’re not stuck flat to your head.

The other product I’ve been trialling is Aveda’s Color Conserve Daily Color Protect aveda.co.uk, which is less to do with my hankering for big hair and more about stopping my blonde looking brassy. A daily leave-in treatment that you use after you’ve shampooed and conditioned in the shower, it claims to stop fading for six weeks.

Now I’m not going to fib – I struggle to remember to use this every day (it’s my age!) but every time I have used it, it really does leave my hair feeling baby soft – and without weighing it down – which is just what I need.

I haven’t noticed a huge difference in my hair colour but that’s because bleach doesn’t suffer from fading in the same way as red or brunette but it also has UV-filters in it so I’m safe in the knowledge that it’s as protected as it can be. And as a final added bonus, it has that distinctive Aveda fragrance – you know the one - that organic spa-like scent that leaves your hair smelling expensive. Double bonus!

Skin Treatment

A major active ingredient in this innovative product is Kimia oil. This stimulates active and continuous cell renewal to keep your skin looking youthful and fresh. A hydra activator in the treatment increases the absorbtion of the Kimia Oil into the skin and leaves skin velvet smooth and oil free.

Natural Skincare

Tea Tree oil has long been known as a natural antiseptic by Australian Aborigines. Tea Tree based skincare products can be great for people with problem skin, and as such it makes a great choice to deal with problems such as oily or blemished skin using natural ingredients. The Body Shop® has a great range of tea tree oil skin products including facial wash, blemish lotion, moisuriser, and face masks designed to deal with blackhead problems.

The great thing about The Body Shop’s® tea tree range is that they source the tea tree oil that goes into their products from an Aboriginal co-operative. The Bundjalung tribe have been using tea tree oil for it’s natural healing properties for thousands of years. They have set up the Bunjum co-operative to market their tea tree oil and to help bring jobs to their community. It’s fair trade principles like these that really make this range of products an attractive option . You can look after your skin naturally and ethically!

Natural Weight Loss

We are wary about the number of ‘all natural' herbal products being pushed by manufacturers for weight loss. But don’t worry, there are still a number of natural weight loss methods you can use to drop the pounds while feeling good about your health.

Shedding pounds is essential to improve the health of those suffering from this prevalent condition. However, rapid weight loss with aggressive diets subjects key bodily organs, specifically the liver, to excess stress. Experts claim that regular body cleansing is a natural way to mitigate this stress and help the body lose weight more efficiently. When people make drastic changes to their food intake to lose weight, the liver is required to work overtime to flush out excess fat and toxins. That's why body cleansing is so important -- it's a natural, safe way to protect your body from the strain of these radical diets and avoid future health complications.

While there are a number of approaches to body cleansing, taking herbal supplements is a healthier, less disruptive way to purify the body on a daily basis. Herbal teas have a remarkable history of beneficial cleansing effects on the body. Herbs such as those contained in Wellements' Daily Detox Tea protect your health during weight loss without reducing your nutritional intake. It's essential not to sacrifice your health when you're trying to lose weight. Other methods of body cleansing include detoxification diets, which usually involve fasting or a liquid diet, with the gradual reintroduction of certain whole foods. Some programs also encourage colonic irrigation, otherwise known as an enema, which cleans out the colon and lower intestines.Herbs support the body's normal cleansing process, naturally removing toxins that build up due to processed food, pollution, stress and hormone-based products. Many organic herbs have antioxidant qualities, and increase metabolism by offering a natural stimulant without caffeine.
