Oscars Beauty 2011: Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett, who presented the award for best makeup at the 83rd annual Academy Awards is known for her flawless complexion.

When you have flawless skin like Cate, you don't need much makeup. To get her award-winning look, the actress prepped her skin with SK-II Facial Treatment Essence and SK-II Facial Treatment Masks, both of which contain the highest concentration of SK-II's key ingredient, Pitera®.

Facial Treatment Essence, which helps promote radiant skin, is a simple step easy to incorporate into any skincare ritual. Used both day and night, it restores skin’s natural surface cycle. "SK-II is fundamentally different from other lines based on one indispensable product – the Facial Treatment Essence," Cate says. "It is like nothing I have ever used before, a clear liquid that you simply press into your skin. It clarifies and moisturizes. It basically does it all. As a result, my skin looks more balanced and healthy."

Facial Treatment Mask is a deeply intensive, moisture-boosting mask that hydrates the skin with Pitera® to promote more radiant and smoother skin. Cate says, "I use a Facial Treatment Mask to immediately brighten my complexion with a surge of Pitera® - it's so refreshing and leaves my skin feeling rejuvenated."

This dynamic duo intensely moisturizes the skin, resulting in a stunning luminous glow even before makeup is applied.

Skin care in the summertime

Skin care in the summertime
Summer is about baring skin and flaunting the beautiful tan you have. Reverse the signs of neglect you showed your skin during fall, winter and spring in summertime.
We all wish for a beautiful summer skin, correct? To do that, you're going to need some daily skin care products to get your skin in excellent condition.
Below are some best daily skin care products and secrets to help renovate your skin:
1. Mineral Facial Sunscreens
With mineral sunscreens you not only get sun coverage, you get to cover-up the shiny face you might have.
2. Bronzer
Orange is not the color you should go for.  Feel better with a little summer glow, especially if your skin doesn't get much color in the summer months. If you can't have skin care in
summer then fake the glow!
3. New Polish
In nail polish go for the reds, pinks and corals. No one looks good in sandals if they don't take time to take care of their feet and skin care in summer.
4. Body Scrub
Think about all of the dead skin cells that build up on your body over the seasons. Use scrub for daily skin care.
5. Lip Balm with SPF
Choose a lip balm with SPF protection; your lips will skip the aching peeling that can come from sunburn. And what used to be almost not possible to find is now all over the place!
6. Sun Screen You Love
If you don't love your sunscreen, you're not going to want to use it for skin care in summer.

Skin care may be your lifestyle is making you sick

Skin care may be your lifestyle is making you sick
Stress gives a negative impact on your health - especially skin health. It could be your cultural stress (routine life).
Cultural-Stress is a persistent-stress because of multi-tasking at a time or/and overly-busy lifestyle of most adults today. Cultural stress can also impact on children and, is often initiated by parents, even during pregnancy.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle which includes safe sun exposure, exercise and a sensible diet, aging skin are a complete skincare systems that address not only sun damage, but hyper-pigmentation, pollution, and the loss of vitality.

Skincare and skincare treatments are becoming more and more mainstream. Also on the cutting-edge of skincare is skin immunity. As we age, the effectiveness of our immune system decreases. This ultimately leads to both cellular and connective tissue breakdown
that translates into fine lines, wrinkles...and loss of elasticity that occurs in “aging skin".
Skincare that address seasonal changes in skin and the potential for skin damage is also growing in popularity. We need a unique skin care solution which support to transition skin from season to season, or to help undue years of damage done to skin baked in the hot summer sunshine.
  • Ready Feet for summer
Feet are probably abused even more than hands.
Feet should be regularly moisturized, at least once a week, they need a full pampering session.
  • Acne Skin
An Acne Treatment can make a great difference in your life by cleaning your skin. 
Excessive oil production is the main factor in your problem skin, there are numerous secondary factors that can trigger this type of overproduction of oil in your skin.
  • Wrinkles
Even if you are in your 20s, you might  begin to see fine lines around your mouth and eyes. As time continues on, the sinister 'crow's feet', age spots and even dreaded full blown wrinkles leave their marks on your smooth face.
  • Sun Tanning:
It is sensible to wear a sunscreen.
  • Hands
Skin types vary, but as we age, many of us find that our hands actually make us look older than our faces do. 
This is probably because of years of neglect.  So before it's too late, start taking care of those hands.
The regular use of protective hand cream is essential.
  • Bodies
Daily moisturizing after bathing or showering is essential, particularly if the body has been or will be exposed to the sun. Everyone has a favorite body lotion and the choice is immense. 
Best Skin Care Tip:-
  1. Drinking plenty of water everyday about eight glasses will help cleanse body system as well as hydrating the skin.
  2. In removing tan color from the face, use an egg white with honey as a facemask.
  3. Instead of using cleanser for toning the face, use a natural cleanser such as cucumber, which can be mixed with milk or cucumber juice.
  4. Rubbing cut lemon wedges on the face can help refresh the skin pores. After rubbing, leave the face for about twenty minutes before rinsing it off with cold water. However, this skin care tip is not applicable for those who have dry skin.
  5. A mixture of milk and honey can be best as cleanser for the face to maintain its glow
  6. To bring more oxygen to your skin as well as reducing stress, exercising regularly is must. Also, exercise can help skin get nourished and firmer.
  7. Have a healthy diet and eat right kinds of foods that are rich in essential vitamins

Tips For a Beautiful Skin

It is a dream of every woman to have a beautiful skin. However, there skin is marred by acne, pimples etc which affect 85% of teenagers and can be seen among 60% of adults as well. Follow certain tips which can make your skin beautiful.
It is clearly seen among women especially that hormonal change such as puberty and menopause causes the skin to become dry, and pale. Elevated hormone levels can cause the sebaceous (oil producing) glands to form greater amounts of sebum (oil). These glands are attached, under the skin, to the sides of each hair shaft, and together form a unit called a follicle. The opening of the skin is referred to as a pore. The oil produced is necessary to lubricate the hair and skin.Most of the time the oil glands produce the right amount of sebum and the pores are fine. When excess oil production is triggered, the pores can get clogged and bacteria begin to multiply, which leads to acne.
It has also been seen that Western fast food cause incidence and severe acne. These, fast food contain carbohydrates and sugars in large. This triggers our bodies to produce a surge in insulin. It also causes an excess of male hormones which encourage the skin to excrete more oil and subsequent abundant growth of bacteria.
Here are some amazing tips for clear and beautiful skin:
  • This tip suggests that you should cleanse your skin twice daily. For a beautiful skin it is not necessary to wash your face every hour, as this can strip off too much oil from your skin and trigger over-production to compensate.
  • The tip further states that maintain a healthy, well-balanced diet. Eat whatever organic is available. If you have a dark spot or acne apparent on your face, refrain from touching the area.
  • Keep away hair spray and gels on your hair but off your face.
  • For a glowy skin, use a moisturizer if you need one. Do not use towel to dry out your skin to treat acne.
  • The tip also suggests an over-the-counter homeopathic remedy.
Beautiful skin is pleasurable to behold. Following these tips and you can maintain beautiful skin throughout your life.

Noxzema Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths

When it comes to taking off my makeup, well, I’d rather leave it on. By bedtime, I’m usually so exhausted that I’d rather sleep in whatever makeup I put on that day (and risk the inevitable breakouts) than wash my face. Luckily, some genius (who’s also probably a fellow lazy gal) invented makeup remover wipes. And the wipes that I’m currently digging are from Noxzema.

Back in junior high, I begged Mama Spoiled Pretty to buy me a tub of their Original Deep Cleansing Cream, hoping it would give me flawless skin (and my pick of hot boyfriends) like Rebecca Gayheart. After weeks of telling me no, my mom finally relented during a trip to Drug Emporium (does anyone else remember this store?). I remember how impatient I was on the ride home – I couldn’t wait to try it out and see how it compared to the boring ole bar of Cetaphil that my dermatologist had recommended.

Fast forward 17 or so years (I’m showin’ my age now) and I’m back on the Noxzema bandwagon. The Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths are, basically, Noxzema’s Original Deep Cleansing Cream in wipe form. The pre-moistened wipes remove dirt, oil, and makeup so effectively, you really only need one for your entire face.

The Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths have the same smell and tingle as the Original Deep Cleansing Cream, so I was initially hesitant about using them around my eyes. But as it turns out, even when I used the wipes to remove stubborn mascara, I experienced no waterworks whatsoever. Personally, I could do without the menthol-y fragrance (I get that it’s kind of Noxzema’s signature thang), but it's not a deal-breaker for me.

What I like most about Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths is how my skin feels after I’m done using one. My face doesn’t feel tight and stripped – and it doesn’t feel like there’s still sticky residue sitting on my skin…there’s just a nice, clean feeling.

Noxzema Clean Moisture Makeup Removal Cloths ($4.50) are available at mass market retailers nationwide.
