Fake It Until You Make It: Disguising Dry Skin

Through all of our handy beauty products, we enhance and improve upon our features that we were born with, and play up the ones that we wish had a bit more prominence. So that saying “fake it until you make it” can really ring true in the beauty world – if you want fuller lips, make them; bolder brows, create them; and a contoured jawline, contour it! In this column we’ll teach you the tips and tricks to tweaking your features and “faking it” until you “make it.”
Applying makeup on top of dry, flaky skin is a tricky task. We use makeup to enhance our appearance, but using makeup on dry skin can often wind up showcasing our imperfections instead, as some products can make dry skin look even worse. Luckily, by enlisting the help of a few genius makeup tips, thirsty skin doesn’t need to be such an issue.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate: Dry skin means dead skin, too, so using a gentle exfoliator once a day can really help to keep the smooth skin that’s been hiding underneath at the forefront of your face.
Make sure to moisturize: When you have dry skin, it’s extremely important to keep it hydrated the best you can. Before any makeup application, applying a moisturizer is a must. For best results, use a moisturizer that is specifically designed to treat dry skin.
Then comes the prime time for protection: Using a primer between moisturizer and foundation might just save the day. Not only does a primer work to ensure the longevity of your makeup, but it also creates a barrier between your skin and your makeup. It will have your makeup sitting on top of a smooth surface, rather than sinking into dry patches.
Powder is not your friend: Powder products will emphasize your dry skin, plain and simple. Instead, opt for a cream or gel foundation to keep things looking healthy. Stay away from anything with the word “matte,” and apply foundation with a damp makeup sponge.

Nothing But Sweat Workout Posted by Lisa-Marie   Warning : Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/sites/bodyrock.tv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bodyrock.tv/wo-breakdown.php  on line  528 . Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects. The health of our lungs and entire respiratory system is affected by the quality of the air we breathe. In addition to oxygen, this air contains other substances
