The brighter the lips, the brighter the smile!

Using a lip balm has various skin and lip benefits. We all love healthy and hydrated lips. And what better way than to get them at the comfort of your home?

We, at StyleFundas, have listed a few benefits of using a lip balm and a DIY lip balm technique below. Get to know some facts and tricks about a lip balm, and learn to make it at your home within 5 minutes.

Benefits of Using a lip balm

1) Moisturizes & Hydrates your Lips

We all know that lip balm moisturizes and hydrates our lips. Not in just winters, but their regular usage will make your lips look healthier.

2) Works as therapy

Getting used to a habit of applying a lip balm daily, helps fight the unconscious habit of stress and anxiety- kind of like biting your nails, and twirling your hair.

3) Protects your Lips

A lip balm builds a protective layer over your lips and protects them from the frigid winter temperature.

4) Comforts your Lips

Applying a lip balm helps you get rid of the dryness and comforts them. So, smile often to share that comfort with others!! 😊

5) Makes your lips more supple

Regular usage of a lip balm also makes your lips more supple and soft.

6) Helps skin heal faster

If the skin is dry with dead skin cells, lip balm helps it heal faster and sometimes within hours.

7) Hydrates your skin under the eyes

Applying a lip balm under the eyes makes that area of the skin hydrated and moisturized. Make sure to use a soft and mild lip balm consisting of natural oils as you’ll be using it near the eye area.

8) Regenerates skin cells

A lip balm not only removes your dead skin cells but also regenerates them. It also improves circulation and removes fine lines that may appear on the skin.

9) Makes your lips pink

Frequent usage of a lip balm also helps your lips look pink. Make sure it contains essential oils and your work’s done.

10) Can be used as a blush

If your lip balm contains tint, it surely can be used as a blush on the cheeks! And it looks so natural and subtle. It is a must-try hack for make-up addicts. If you love to try new hacks, do have a look at these fashion hacks!

How to make a lip balm at home? (Just in 5 minutes)

Making a lip balm at home is fun and also saves your time and money. And you can also make a tinted lip balm. So first let’s have a look at the ingredients you require and then hop onto the method.

Ingredients:

Beeswax and Coconut Oil [Equal proportions] Add a piece of Lipstick (any color) for tint (optional)
Vitamin E (1 teaspoon optional)
Moisturizer (1 teaspoon optional)
Peppermint Oil for fragrance (1 teaspoon optional)
Container

Method:

Step 1: Take equal proportions (usage of a measuring cup is advised) of beeswax (preferably grated to ensure the correct measurements) and room-temperature coconut oil (it will be in its solid-state). Mix and melt them well until they form a liquid.

Step 2: All of these ingredients are optional but I recommend adding them as they have various benefits. A teaspoon of vitamin E as it is good for hydration. A teaspoon of moisturizer to add extra supple for your lips. Add one teaspoon of peppermint oil as it can make your lips look fuller and it also has a good fragrance. To make a tinted lip balm, add any color of lipstick of your choice!

Step 3: Melt all these ingredients until they are in a liquid form and mix them well. Store it in a container and use it daily!

History Of Lip Balm:

According to Wikipedia, “Lip balm was first marketed in the 1880s by Charles Browne Fleet, though its origins may be traced to earwax. More than 40 years prior to the commercial introduction of lip balm by Fleet, Lydia Maria Child recommended earwax as a treatment for cracked lips in her highly-popular book, The American Frugal Housewife.”

I hope this was useful and you will try the DIY Lip Balm method at your home. I am sure you will not need to purchase another lip balm from any store again. Also, share your experience with us in the comment section below. Until then!

The proven reasons for using a bleach on skin are wanting a lighter or brighter complexion, getting rid of facial imperfections, and looking beautiful. It also evens out the skin and hides unwanted hair. Skin bleaching started during the 50s and since has been quite popular among women.

Before we get to know the types and popular bleaches available in the market, let us know how do they work on our skin.

More melanin in the skin might lead to the problems like pigmentation, hyperpigmentation, and darker skin. Beaching helps get rid of the extra melanin from the skin due to the presence of a chemical called hydrogen peroxide.

Bleaching helps your skin look brighter and helps get rid of the suntan too. People with dry skin or sensitive skin are recommended to use ammonia-free, Vitamin C enriched bleach cream. Normal skin types can use any cream with minimum chemical content.

There are various types of bleach available in the Indian Market depending upon the preference and skin type. We, at StyleFundas, have come up with a list of top bleaches for you to look at below:

Give a woman the right lipstick, and she can conquer the world!

According to a study, on average a woman owns 7 lipsticks. Out which she uses 2.6 quite frequently.

So many lipsticks are available in the market and yet sometimes we get messed up in which kind is the right one for us. So to make this task simpler for you, we at StyleFundas, have come up with a list of various kinds of lipsticks available in the market and their purposes.

Have a look at them below. But before that, let us know what is lipstick made of anyway?

Most lipsticks are made from three basic ingredients: wax, oil, and pigment. The pigment is the color. Waxes provide shape and a spreadable texture. Oils such as petrolatum, lanolin, cocoa butter, jojoba, castor, and mineral are added for moisture.

1) Crème Lipstick

Crème lipsticks glide easily over your lips giving it a creamy effect with a hint of gloss. They have more wax and are very moisturizing. They are comfortable to wear and stay on for longer durations.

2) Lip Gloss

The name says it all. Their glossy thick liquid lipstick makes your lip look more supple and healthy. It leaves a shiny finish on your lips. Available in so many lovable shades, it is most common among teenage girls.

3) Sheer Lipstick

Made with very little tint, sheer lipstick gives a natural look to your lips and can be very moisturizing. They can be worn if you want to have a subtle look. This lipstick has a higher content of oil and is perfect for your no-makeup days.

4) Stain/ Tint Lipstick

Stain lipsticks are not the regular types. When applied, they are absorbed by the outermost layer of your skin to give a very natural finish. They give it a more long-lasting property due to the same reason.

5) Matte Lipstick

Matte lipsticks are smooth and sultry. They give a long-lasting finish and look sophisticated. They don’t have any glossy properties and have a velvety finish, free of shimmer. They are in a uniform color which makes them look bold and are the focus of attention.

6) Liquid Matte Lipstick

Liquid matte lipstick, despite their glossy appearance, gives a velvety finish and are smudge-proof. They don’t smudge off easily after eating or drinking something. They apply as a liquid due to the high content of oil and polymers. When they dry out, they show an opaque and chalky finish.

7) Lip Balm Tints

Tinted lip balms give out a very natural finish to your lips and are light. They are best to be worn on the days when you feel like not-so-heavy-lip-layering on your lips. They moisturize dry lips too and therefore they give color and protection as well.

8) Matte Balms

They give out a natural look and subtly even out the color of your lips. They are a great way to get your lips some color without a glossy, shiny look. So when going for a no-makeup look, these are best for a casual, shine-free look.

9) Lip Liner

Lip liner which is used to outline the lip to get a clear finish for your lipstick’s outline can also be used to fill the inner lips!! Say what? That’s right. You can use it as lipstick and no one will even know that. Its effect is just the same as a crème lipstick.

The History Of Lipstick:

According to a source, “Based on cosmetic cases found at archaeological sites dating back to 5,000 years ago, it’s thought that Ancient Sumerians were the first to wear lipstick. These ancient cosmetics were made by mixing crushed gemstones with oils and waxes. Ancient Egyptians also wore red lipstick as an indicator of social status.”

Hair that slays, starts with Good Care!

Hair plays a very important role in your appearance and therefore its loss and damage will make any person conscious irrespective of their gender. Despite many attempts, we are somehow unable to know the root cause or find the right remedy for it. The self-doubt in us leads us to believe in what people around us say regarding hair damage.

For you to know the right facts, myths, and how to overcome hair problems, we, at StyleFundas, have listed thorough research of various reasons and solutions below to overcome hair damage.

Firstly, let us know the basic types of hair damage and the reasons behind them.

There are mainly 3 types of Hair Damage:

1. Fragile Hair

They look frizzy, get tangled easily, lack shine, and are unmanageable. Your cuticles (the outer cellular layer of a hair) as well as your cortex are damaged due to hair color, chemical straighteners or perms, and heat styling (blow dryers, flat iron, curling iron).

2. Dull and Unruly Hair

They have split ends and visible hair breakage. Your cuticles are damaged easily and the main cause behind that is heat, UV rays, friction, and high pH hair products.

3. Thinning Hair

They are patchy or have slow hair growth and excessive falling out. Here, your hair follicles are damaged which are responsible for hair growth and are a living part of your hair. The main reason behind it is product build-up, excessive combing or hair brushing, extensions, and chemical treatments.

So, as we are well aware of the types of hair damage, let us know the myths and facts about hair.

MYTHS AND FACTS:

1)Myth:

Washing your hair every day causes hair loss.

Fact:

Actually, washing hair every day only gets rid of the fallen-out hair. Hair fall is more related to scalp problems.

2) Myth:

Applying a hair mask every day instead of a hair conditioner makes your hair more supple.

Fact:

Hair masks should always be applied once a week. They cannot be a replacement for the conditioners as both have different properties and work accordingly. Applying hair masks every day will make your hair greasy and frizzy.

3) Myth:

Stress causes grey hair- Stress has nothing to do with your hair turning grey.

Fact:

The color of your hair depends upon the production of a pigment called melanin. Hair turns grey when melanin has completely depleted from your body. Although, stress can increase the amount of hair fall.

4) Myth:

Sleep doesn’t affect your hair- Contrary to popular belief, sleep can affect your hair.

Fact:

The human body produces a hormone called melatonin. This hormone helps your body regulate your sleep cycle, and has been shown to increase hair growth. If the body reduces melatonin levels, it is highly likely to cause hair loss. Sleep deprivation can eventually lead to stress, which will result in telogen effluvium hair loss.

5) Myth:

Brush 100 strokes a day for healthy hair- Brushing your hair too much causes friction which leads to more damaged hair especially if they are fragile.

Fact:

However, brushing gently a few times on the scalp can help distribute natural oils from root to scalp. Never brush your wet hair either as it is at its weakest and vulnerable to breakage.

6) Myth:

Frequent trims make hair grow longer faster.

Fact:

Huh? Hair grows from follicles in the scalp and the rest is dead. But you should trim your hair every six to eight weeks to avoid getting or removing split ends. “Splits’’ cannot be mended back or sealed back as some products claim. And if you are tired of trimming, and seeking for a good hair cut, check out our post of “Trending Haircuts for Women In Style this 2022”.

7) Myth:

Fine, thin hair should skip conditioner.

Fact:

No! Always condition your hair after a shampoo irrespective of your hair type. Conditioning hydrates your hair and is a part of a healthy hair regime.

8) Myth:

Shampoos stop working after a while.

Fact:

“Your hair gets used t it.” That is what they say. There is little evidence to support this theory although Katy Walsh of Martial Vivot Salon Pour Hommes says switching shampoos too often can actually make things worse. “Your PH balance will be off, and that can cause problems like a dry scalp and hair breakage from lack of moisture,” she explains.

9) Myth:

Natural oils are good for your hair.

Fact:

Natural oils cannot penetrate the hair shaft deep enough to make a lasting impact. And aside from that, it will leave your sticky residue and make your hair strands greasy.

Dos and Don’ts for your Hair Problems:

1) Have a healthy diet

The saying, “you are what you eat” is very much applicable to your hair & skincare. A properly balanced diet is important so you can have healthy hair and skin without lacking any nutrients and proteins.

2) Don’t stress

I know saying “don’t stress” is very simple. But try de-stressing bathing routine, exercising, or meditating to relieve stress.

3) Keep your hair Hydrated

Keeping your hair hydrated is very important. Especially during winters when dryness seems to be everywhere. Hydrated hair doesn’t break easily and retains the nutrients longer in your hair.

4) Spare the heat

Avoid using flat and curling irons on a regular basis. They damage your cuticles and result in damaged hair.

5) Don’t over-process them

Perms, professional straightening, coloring, relaxers might seem healthy for your hair for a while but gradually they will harm the cuticle and lead to hair damage.

6) Don’t over-washing

If you have an oily scalp, the temptation to wash your hair frequently is understandable. Washing them on a daily basis is okay, but washing them more than once a day might lead to stripped, straw-like hair, dried-out scalp, inflammation, and irritation.

7) Don’t rub your wet hair with the towel

While it might seem right to rub the towel against the scalp to dry out your hair, it actually causes friction and might damage your hair cuticles as they are the most vulnerable when wet. Instead, just wrap the towel around your hair over the head, and let it absorb the water.

8) Use lesser elastic hair ties

You might have noticed when you undo your high ponytail, a few hairs break along with the band or after its removal. It is because the scalp and cuticle are pulled and that causes hair damage. Tie your hair low sometimes, or tie them loosely when doing a bit higher ponytail.

9) Comb carefully

Comb gently and try to untangle your hair with fingers to avoid more breakage.

10) Rinse after swimming

If you swim frequently, rinse your hair after every swim and use the swimmer’s shampoo and conditioner to avoid damage to the hair from chlorine.

Hair damage can be frustrating and stressful, but with the correct lifestyle change and proper eating habits, it can be prevented and cured easily. I hope this was helpful to you. Try these tips and tricks and let us know how they worked out for you!

History Of Body Massage

According to a source, “The history of massage therapy dates back to 3000 BCE (or earlier) in India, where it was considered a sacred system of natural healing. Used by Hindus in Ayurveda ‘life health’ medicine, massage therapy was a practice passed down through generations to heal injuries, relieve pain, and prevent and cure illnesses.”
