GET RID OF OILY SKIN NATURALLY

Greasy spots on your face can ruin your appearance. In order to feel confident and preserve the flawless condition of your complexion it is wise to experiment with these 6 natural tips to get rid of oily skin below. Blackheads and pimples won't be a problem anymore if you complement your skin care regime with a few additional rituals. Prepare revitalizing and cleansing facials which load your skin cells with antioxidants and vitamins

Salt Spray
Grab a medium-sized bottle and pour a tiny amount of salt in it. Then add a tiny amount of water to create the perfect mixture to banish your oily complexion. Make sure the salt is dissolved and spray a tiny amount of this lotion on the affected areas. Use a paper towel to dry your skin and enjoy the soft texture of your complexion without any greasy spots. Repeat this ritual at least once a day for dazzling results.

Cucumber and Lime Juice
Create the secret recipe to get rid of oily skin in a flash. Mix 1tsp of cucumber juice with lime juice and use a cotton ball to apply it on the greasy sections at least 30 minutes before taking a bath.  This is one of the expert tricks you can also use during your revitalizing beauty sesh. Let your pores absorb this treatment and provide your skin cells with the necessary antioxidant dose.

Green Clay and Honey
Are you ready to kiss goodbye to your oily complexion? In a medium bowl mix 1tsp of green clay powder with 1tsp of honey. After you've obtained the right mixture all you have to do is apply it on the affected sections. Leave the facial on for 15 minutes then wash it off with tepid water. Repeat this treatment at least twice a week to make sure you do everything to prevent the formation of acne and blackheads.


Cold Water
The simplest solution to get rid of oily skin is icy water. Keep a bowl of water in your fridge to have it at hand. This beauty maneuver will help you keep your complexion in top condition especially during a party event or when preparing for a special date. Spray a tiny amount of ice cold water on your face at least 3-4 per day before leaving your home. The treatment will do magic with the sebum production of your skin and will close your pores immediately.

Rosewater and Red Sandalwood
Women in India use these two ingredients to preserve their spotless skin condition. Cleanse your pores from toxins and excessive sebum with a natural facial. Mix 2tbs of sandalwood powder with a tiny amount of rosewater in order to prepare a fine paste. Wash your face with pure water first then apply the facial on the affected spots. Leave the treatment on for 15-20 minutes and finish up your beauty ritual by rinsing off the mask with lukewarm water.

Tomato Puree
Create a fine tomato puree and apply it on your face. According to skin specialists this veggie has the power to dry out oil glands without creating a dehydrated and flaky effect to your skin. Apply the treatment on the affected sections and leave it on for 5-7 minutes. Finally wash the puree off with tepid water. Soon you'll notice the positive impact of this facial on your complexion.

ALEXANDER McQUEEN PRE-FALL 2012 COLLECTION

The Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 collection lines up a parade of beautiful silhouettes with a restrained and at the same time breath-taking elegance.

The Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2012 collection follows the progress of the ever-evolving needs of the style armada, however, the atelier also flaunts its loyalty to traditional and age old fashion design patterns. Juggling with ultra-defined shapes and sculpting real style artworks from the otherwise pretty fluid velvet is the real ace in the sleeve of Sarah Burton.

Grown-up glamor is fused with the vulnerability of a real princess who wears breath-taking ball gowns and silky coats which accentuate her hourglass figure. Full skirts decorated with crafty embroideries and high-impact appliques make up the core of the memorable collection. Look out for the outfit repertoire which shows you the woman you want to be!

The Victorian Era as the time of glamor left us a generous and dazzling style legacy. Sarah Burton decided to use these gifts and incorporate them into the pre-fall collection. Skirts take the center stage and become the real jewelry pieces of the show. As the designer claims, “They are kind of velvet wheels, I suppose!”. The belted mid-section along with the voluminous silhouette give these haute couture dresses and skirts a revolutionary and luxurious feel. With the chosen chromatic palette the visionary designer uses to preserve the Renaissance and slightly understated aura of these ensembles. Aubergine, black, burgundy and last but not least oxblood red are the only hues used to set the perfect atmosphere of this reverie.

Despite the abundance of colors used by other designers to help us break with the tradition of a gloomy season chromatic palette, Sarah Burton cultivates a more temperate style of color selection and sticks to universally-flattering shades. Adding a few ultra-impressive and floor-sweeping evening gowns to the collection proved to be a remarkable weapon to melt the heart of all red-carpet-worthy fashionistas.

VICTORIA BECKHAM FALL 2012 RTW COLLECTION

Floor-sweeping gowns are completely eliminated from the collection as the designer works only with a small team and they are unable to provide celebs with scene-stealing evening dresses yet.  

Instead, we have a diverse parade of shirt-dresses, some of them tinted with a block color, in black or offered in a two-tone design. The chromatic scale is moderate in order to adapt to the hottest color trends of the fall/winter 2012 season.

Complementing the voguish ensembles with skinny belts and knee-high Christian Louboutin boots is again oh-so-characteristic of the groundbreaking style ambitions of Victoria Beckham.

Whether you consider yourself a classy-chic fan or an ultra-confident trendsetter, these apparel ideas will definitely make your pulse race.

 Horizontal bands and chunky color blocks when embedded into the design of stylish dresses will definitely help us juggle with our proportions and shift the attention to feminine curves. The shirt-collar gives a preppy allure to all these high-street dresses drenched in khaki, red or grey tones.

 Selecting only luxurious and first class fabrics is the key to ultimate success especially among style fans who value quality and sophistication.
