Eyebrow Shaping Tip 1: Find out where your eyebrow begins and ends. To find your brow’s starting point, all you need to do is hold a thin makeup brush against your nose. The point where the brush touches your brow is going to be your starting point. As for your brow’s end, tilt the same brush from your nose diagonally until it lands on a point at the corner of your eye.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 2: Use an eyebrow brush to smooth eyebrow hairs while tweezing or waxing your eyebrows. This will ensure you don’t end up removing too much. Plus, keeping this brush will help you keep your eyebrows in shape even after they’re nice and clean.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 3: Use quality tools. You won’t get quality unless you invest in it. So, if you’re looking for great eyebrows, make sure you choose a good pair of tweezers and/or excellent wax. Both of these tools will pull out the hair easily and accurately.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 4: Keep your distance… from the mirror, that is! If you want your eyebrows to look great, then one of the best tips to follow is not standing too close to the mirror. With some distance between you and your mirror, you’ll be able to create a balance between your eyebrows.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 5: Always choose the best shape for your eyebrows in order to complement your facial features. 

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 6: Use a warm towel on your eyebrows or start the shaping process after a hot bath. Some tips suggest icing your skin before starting, but that practice is completely wrong. The cold will tighten your pores, and you’ll feel more pain.

Eyebrow Shaping Tip 7: Never ever shave your eyebrows. Most women who haven’t read eyebrow shaping tips end up using small razors to get their brows in shape. However, doing so will give them short-lived and uneven results. Stubble or razor cuts and burns are also disadvantages of this practice.

What can you expect from sunless tanning products?

Sunless tanning products typically go on clear and you might see results after about an hour. Full color appears within eight to 24 hours. Some products contain a tint, which darkens your skin right away.
Sunless tanning tips: For an even-looking tan

Sunless tanning products no longer cause an orange-brown, streaky appearance. Today the products offer an even, natural-looking tan if they're applied correctly and carefully. For best results, follow these tips:

      Choose a light- or medium-toned product, which tends to look more natural.

      Before using the product, wash and exfoliate your skin with a wash cloth or sponge to remove excess dead skin cells. Women should shave their legs for an even application.

      Apply the sunless tanning product evenly and lightly. Use less product on dry skin or thickened skin, such as over your ankles, knees and elbows. These areas tend to absorb more product.

      After you apply the product to your face and body, wash your hands with soap and water to avoid coloring your palms. Be sure to remove any product from under your fingernails. Then use a cotton ball to apply the sunless tanner to the top of each hand.

      To prevent staining your clothes, wait to dress until the sunless tanner dries completely, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Most sunless tanning products don't contain a sunscreen and, therefore, don't protect your skin from sun damage. If you spend time outdoors, be sure to apply a sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15 before going outside.

Will AirBrush tanning cause the skin to turn orange?
AirBrush tanning has been specially formulated to produce a balanced tan without an orange tint. The orange tint is often the result of excessive quantities of the DHA tanning agent being applied to the skin. Through our proprietary formulations, our Airbrush Tan delivers a natural looking, golden tan.

How long does an AirBrush tanning session take?
An entire body may be airbrushed and dried in approximately 25 to 30 minutes. It is important that the solution dry on the skin prior to clients putting their clothes back on to avoid smearing or removing solution from the skin. 

What should clients wear during an AirBrush tanning session?
Clients are encouraged to wear as much or as little as they are comfortable to receive their ideal tan. 

Will the AirBrush tanning solutions stain clothes?
While it is formulated to wash out with regular laundry detergent, clients are encouraged to wear older clothes to their tanning session so they will not be disappointed if the AirBrush solution happens to stain their particular type of clothing material.

What is Airbrush tanning?
Airbrush tanning is a process that uses an air compressor and airbrush delivery system to gently and evenly apply tanning solution to the skin. When properly applied, the result is a beautiful tan appearance. 

How does Airbrushing produce a tan?
Tanning agents in the tanning solution (Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Erythrulose) react with the amino acids in the outermost skin cells and subsequently darken in color. DHA and Erythrulose are sugar derivatives. 

Are the Airbrush products safe?
Yes. Many years ago, the FDA approved Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) for cosmetic use. All Airbrush tanning solutions enhance the safe tanning properties of DHA.

If you are among the many people with red blotches or broken blood vessels on your face, you probably find it pretty frustrating — especially if you don't know what causes it, or what can be done to treat it.  

1. Cover it Up

The first and easiest way t cover up redness is makeup, says Dr. Neal Schultz, a New-York-City based dermatologist. Schultz says green-tinted foundation most effectively helps hide the red because green is the opposite of red in the color wheel. Essentially, one neutralizes the other.

2. Hydrate

Increasing moisture in your skin will reduce redness, says Anna Logan, a holistic skin care specialist and licensed esthetician at Touch of Faith Aesthetics Skin Care and Waxing Spa. "Redness often results from an overly acidic body and skin, which can be caused by a number of factors including physical activity, stress, environment, and perhaps most importantly, diet."

"Some types of food and drinks, like meat, cheese, and alcohol, and stimulants, like coffee and cigarettes, form acids when processed by the body," explains Logan. "Other foods, primarily fruits and vegetables, are alkaline-forming, which helps to neutralize acids. By following a healthy diet rich in alkaline-forming foods, you can balance your body and reduce your rosacea symptoms while improving your overall health."

3. Caffeine

You know how caffeine makes you feel more energized on those early mornings? It can also make you look better. Dr. Schultz says caffeine-containing products can help reduce the size of blood vessels. If you constrict the blood vessels you will squeeze some blood out and there will be less red in the skin. The reality, though, is caffeine-containing products usually work better to relieve the signs of Rosacea because of their anti-inflammatory powers than they do to really get the red out of your skin. "Caffeine, as an anti-inflammatory, helps to reduce swelling and bumps in the skin, in addition to helping reduce redness. Reducing redness by constricting blood vessels only is part of being anti inflammatory but caffeine also helps to reduce sensitivity, swelling and bumps in the skin," Dr Schultz elaborates.

4. Medicate

Topical cortisone products constrict the blood vessels and get the red out effectively says Dr. Schultz. However, the problem is you cannot use them on an on-going basis. If you use them for too long after they have temporarily helped the redness, they will actually break the capillaries, cause more redness and thin the skin. So this isn't an option.

Carolyn Dean MD, ND, author of The Magnesium Miracle and medical director of the non-profit Nutritional Magnesium Association says a surprisingly helpful skincare product is magnesium bath salts. "Adding magnesium salts to a hot bath may soothe tired muscles, promote sound sleep, and help detoxify the body through the skin, which helps with redness, acne, eczema and other skin conditions. Magnesium is a natural detoxifier and a natural sleep remedy that supports deep restful sleep. If you are retaining toxins in your body from environmental, chemical and other toxic pollutants your skin will be adversely affected and will result in redness, acne, eczema, etc.," says Dr. Dean. 
5. Sleep

And yes, there is some truth behind getting your beauty sleep. "If you are not sleeping well, this will also affect your skin!" says Dr. Dean. "Poor sleep causes dark circles and bags under your eyes, sallow skin color and removes the natural glow from healthy skin," says Dean.

How can this be? "The human body is built to follow natural rhythms. Our inner body clock, called circadian rhythm, triggers the natural impulses to wake up with the sun, sleep when it's dark, as well as a host of other natural body processes," says Alexandra Jamieson, celebrity health and nutrition counselor, chef and author of The Great American Detox Diet.
