For those who are in the habit of applying nail paint regularly, putting in a little extra effort to pamper your nails should be a part of your routine. With just a handful of ingredients, you can keep your nails in the best of health.&nbsp;To get you started, here are a few home remedies for beautiful nails.
1. Olive Oil
Using nourishing oils, such as olive oil can help keep your nails shine intact by treating the cuticles from deep within. First, clean your nails thoroughly, then warm a small bowl of olive oil and dip your fingers for 15 minutes. Wipe clean with a towel and repeat the process daily for best results.
2. Rosewater
Daily application of rose water to your nails can seal the natural pink tint on your nails. And if there are spots on your nails, then wash them with a mix of lemon juice and rose water. Follow this remedy thrice a week and see the difference.&nbsp;
3. Petroleum Jelly
Another natural way to make your nails look glossy is to apply petroleum jelly consistently to your nails, especially after a shower, as it helps prevent your nails from losing their natural moisture.
4. Milk
Milk is loaded with&nbsp;calcium&nbsp;and&nbsp;Vitamin D, both of which are crucial for building strong nails. Pour some warm milk into a bowl and dip your nails into it. Wait for a few minutes, let your nails absorb all the nourishment from the milk. Wash it off and moisturise with a nail cream or even a cold cream.
Most importantly, give your nails a break from nail polish whenever you can and avoid back-to-back manicures.&nbsp;

Magnetic eyelashes are increasingly becoming a trendy alternative to traditional false lashes or as we like to call them, falsies. They are easy to use and contain small magnets to help the lash stick to your upper eyelids without the use of glue.
Applying magnetic lashes can take some time, however, once you are used to it, you will surely get impressive results. Follow these simple steps to up your lash game.
Always put mascara before applying these to get a natural look and If you&rsquo;re planning on wearing other eye makeup, such as eye shadow, be sure you apply it before you use falsies.
Apply a thin line of the liner to your upper lid, just as you normally would. Then, use a pair of tweezers to line your lash strip up with your eyeliner and apply, adjusting as needed. Easy peasy!
Are they safe for your eyes?
Magnetic eyelashes are considered safer than other types of false eyelashes that use potentially harmful glues. But you can still get allergies or infections if you don&rsquo;t use them correctly and carefully.
If you decide to go with magnetic lashes, keep these points in mind. Don&rsquo;t share magnetic lashes with other people. Avoid using them if you have an infection or the skin around your eye is irritated.
Clean your magnetic eyelashes after each use with rubbing alcohol or basic soap and water to prevent bacterial growth. Let them dry completely and then store them in an airtight container.

Stinging and burning prickly heat in summers can be extremely annoying. These rashes make children and adults alike, uncomfortable and itchy all day long. Treating heat rashes with home remedies is a great way to deal with them. Keep watching to learn a few such natural methods that you can try at home.
Ice cube massage
One of the best ways to relieve heat rash is to cool the skin down. Wrap 2-3 ice cubes in a cotton cloth or handkerchief and gently massage it on the heat rashes. This will give you immediate relief but do not leave the ice pack on for a long period as it can cause redness.

Keep the prepared paste in the fridge for about 20 minutes. Now, apply this mixture on the prickly heat and then go ahead and wash it off in the shower. This paste can also be used twice a day without any adverse effects.
Oatmeal and milk paste
Mix one teaspoon of oatmeal in half a bowl of cold milk. Keep the mixture in the fridge to cool down for about 10-15 minutes. This paste can be applied several times a day to the affected areas. It can help in enhancing the skin quality along with stopping the prickly heat from getting worse.&nbsp;
The best part about these remedies is that they are completely safe for both adults and children and will not harm your skin.&nbsp;But every skin type reacts differently so do your research see what suits you best.&nbsp;

The term sulfate-free shampoo has created a lot of buzz lately, but have you ever wondered what sulfate-free actually means?

The term sulfate-free&nbsp;shampoo has created a lot of buzz lately, but have you ever wondered what sulfate-free actually means?
Sulfate is formed when sulphuric acid reacts with other chemicals. It is considered to be a great cleaning agent but is it really good for your hair?
The primary purpose of sulfate is to produce a rich lather to help remove grime, oil, and dirt from your hair. They are aggressive detergents that may strip your hair of its natural moisture and can be extremely harsh&nbsp;on the scalp and may cause irritation. One is advised not to use sulfate shampoos as it makes your hair dry, rough, and brittle.
If you have coloured hair, sulfate-free shampoos are a blessing, these are gentle on the hair and won't strip it of its color too fast. They are much milder and can help you control scalp inflammation and are gentle for your eyes too.
Sulfate-free shampoos are environment friendly as they are made of plant derivatives. There are plenty of benefits of using a sulfate-free shampoo, hence, many people opt for it. The best way to find out if you are using such a shampoo is by reading the labels.

Body piercings are not new to us, people have been getting pierced for centuries now. However fancy and cool this trend might seem, it definitely needs some great after

Body piercings are not new to us, people have been getting pierced for centuries now. However fancy and cool this trend might seem, it definitely needs some great after care.
Piercing&nbsp;aftercare is important because pierced skin is extremely susceptible to infections which can lead to a lot of skin problems.&nbsp;
After the piercing is done make sure you keep the pierced area clean. Wash that area with soap and water or saline solution twice a day. Apply a small layer of petroleum jelly or Vitamin E oil as it will protect the pierced area from bacteria.
The healing process is very delicate and can take months. So make sure you don&rsquo;t dress up in something that would hurt your piercing by tugging on it. To prevent the piercing from closing, rotate the earrings gently while the skin is still wet.
Piercings are a very common practice but you still need to take good and consistent care of them to make sure you avoid infection, tissue damage, or losing the piercing altogether.
Be gentle with your piercings&nbsp;and&nbsp;enjoy your new fashion statement!

You finally got inked! But now you need to take care of your tattoo so that you don't end up getting a skin infection. Tattoo aftercare can be confusing, especially if it's your first one. These instructions will help you take care of your new tattoo with absolute ease.
The first thing you need to get after getting inked is a bandage or a plastic wrap which should ideally stay for a few hours. The covering protects the open skin from bacteria, sunlight, and from rubbing against clothing.
After removing the bandage make sure you wash the tattoo with antimicrobial soap and apply a layer of antibacterial or vaseline ointment twice a day.
Gently wash your tattoo twice a day with soap and water and pat dry before reapplying the ointment. Repeat this process for 2 to 4 weeks. Avoid hot showers and wear sunscreen during the day so that your tattoo doesn't fade.
Proper aftercare in the first few weeks after getting a tattoo can help prevent infection and keep the tattoo looking vibrant for life.&nbsp;

If there’s one thing that we must use a lot of and on a daily basis, it’s sunscreen. No matter what your skin tone, type or condition may be,

If there&rsquo;s one thing that we must&nbsp;use&nbsp;a lot of and on a daily basis, it&rsquo;s sunscreen. No matter&nbsp;what your skin tone, type or condition may be, sunscreen is an absolute&nbsp;requirement&nbsp;to protect oneself&nbsp;from all the harm&nbsp;that&nbsp;exposure to harsh sunlight can cause us.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 In a recent Vogue Beauty YouTube video, Gwyneth Paltrow mentioned using sunscreen only&nbsp;on&nbsp;the high points of her face. This has caused an uproar amongst people&nbsp;as her tip is highly misleading and may&nbsp;cause&nbsp;people&nbsp;to follow&nbsp;her suggestion blindly. She applies sunscreen only to the points of her face where the sun &lsquo;hits&rsquo; it without&nbsp;realising that every exposed bit of skin is open&nbsp;to sun damage equally.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 The founder of&nbsp;the&nbsp;brand&nbsp;&lsquo;Goop,&rsquo;&nbsp;applies sunscreen like highlighter and&nbsp;we&rsquo;re most definitely not here for it! In an ideal world, sunscreen&nbsp;should be re applied every 2-3 hours, but if that is a bit too much then applying a teaspoon worth of sunscreen is the only way to go.&nbsp;&nbsp;
 So&nbsp;slather it on and protect yourself from all that&nbsp;potential&nbsp;sun damage.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A gel-based one or a silicone one?&nbsp;Keep the following in mind for your Holi beauty care.&nbsp;Dr Kiran Sethi&nbsp;from Isya&nbsp;Aesthetics recommends&nbsp;using a silicone sunscreen as it forms a good barrier on your skin. She adds that one must go for 100% mineral sun blocks with&nbsp;SPF 30 and above. Wear a thick layer, at least 2 tablespoons and don't forget to reapply if you get wet!

Which oil should you use before playing Holi?&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Kiran&nbsp;Sethi&nbsp;from Isya&nbsp;Aesthetics guides you through!&nbsp;Her advice is to use a&nbsp;good thick oil like coconut or sesame.

In a bid to become inclusive, consumer goods company Unilever announced that it will get rid of the word 'normal' from the packaging of its personal care and beauty products. It even said that it will do away with digital alterations of body shapes and skin colour of models in its ads, a Reuters report stated.
