This should cover your neck and chest. For the best results to spray perfume, you'll have to check what type of concentration it holds. Spraying on will also often clash with scents in other products you use like shampoo, hairspray, and lotion. You should always test a perfume at home before using it in public because if the scent works with scents in your other products it's great, but if they clash it can lead to an instant headache.
Moreover if we sprayed perfume on your dress, it will leave a spot of dirt on your dress that is difficult to be cleaned up.

2. Forget to dab lotion on your neck

When you take care of your face with lotion, do not dab it on your face only. You are also advised to dab it on your neck area, as neck skin is more sensitive than skin face. This neck part is susceptible to get wrinkled in the early age and lose the elasticity.

Keeping the same hair style for years is inappropriate. It had better make a small change on your hair style to make your looks fresher.

Sleeping is very important for our skin. When we sleep, the repairing enzymes will work to repair the skin damage, reduce toxin and distribute nutrition to our body cells.

Dirty brush or spoons for face powder will accumulate germs on skin face and cause acnes appear on face. Clean it up twice a week using warm water.

8. Using inappropriate cosmetics
The habit of using expired cosmetics, grabbing cosmetics by fingers or put the resting cosmetic back into its packaging will cause irritation and acnes appear. So, throw all expired products.

So if you like taking hot water showers, keep your shower under 5 minutes in which the temperature of water is not too hot. Always use lotion as soon after taking a shower in order to prevent the skin become dry.

Most migraines are not caused by a single factor or event. Your response to triggers can also vary from headache to headache. 

Many women with migraine tend to have attacks brought on by:
* lack of food or sleep
* bright light or loud noise
* hormone changes during the menstrual cycle
* stress and anxiety
* weather changes
* chocolate, alcohol, or nicotine
* some foods and food additives, such as MSG or nitrates  

Eventhough there are lots of medicines for migraine, however scientists suggest those who suffer migraine not to count on chemical medicine. There are many approaches available that you can take to relieve your migrain headaches. Physical therapy is also considered to be extremely helpful in this regards. Stress management activities such as massage therapy and relaxation are also incredibly helpful, and they may also help to make attacks happen less often. 

However the best method of all of course is that of prevention, and the best way to prevent migraines is to find out what events or activities actually cause the onset of your migraines, and then you should obviously try to avoid these triggers or at least limit them as much as you can. Preventive strategies usually include medications along with other types of therapies, such as stress management, physical therapy, and exercise. Another aspect of prevention is learning to recognize and change things that may trigger your headaches — such as reducing emotional stress, replacing harsh lights, or getting enough sleep. These efforts will be worth it. Advances in the medical management of headache mean that relief is no longer just possible, but probable. Almost everyone can find at least some headache relief.

With the Following Ways...
 

Sleep? Hmmm, I’m very glad to imagine it. By sleeping, we can get new energy and make our body relax. At the same time, sleeping has good impact on our health mentally and physically. Sleep was long considered just a uniform block of time when you are not awake. Sleep needs vary from person to person, and they change throughout the lifecycle. Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep each night. Newborns, on the other hand, sleep between 16 and 18 hours a day, and children in preschool sleep between 10 and 12 hours a day. School-aged children and teens need at least 9 hours of sleep a night.
Some people believe that adults need less sleep, as they get older. But there is no evidence to show that older people can get by with less sleep than younger people. Older people are also more easily awakened. Sometimes we can get enough sleep or we cannot sleep at all due to many reasons. For those who suffered from insomnia, such as narcolepsy, sleep is no longer considered as a means of refreshing.
Do you have difficulty getting to sleep? Millions of people experience insomnia, and when you have a demanding job or a fussy baby, a night of not being able to sleep can feel tortuous. Everyone suffers from insomnia at some time. Insomnia has a strongly negative affect on your looks (hence the term, "beauty sleep"). Under eye circles, blotchy skin and bleary eyes are only three of the drawbacks of insomnia.
Insomnia is caused by so many factors that you can have one reason or six, each one potent enough to keep a person awake. Here are some possible causes, such as stress, too much drinking caffeine, too much alcohol, exercise later in the evening, diet, depression, anxiety, pregnancy symptoms and hormonal fluctuations. Sleeplessness is also one of the symptoms of menopause. 
 
What is the solution to overcome insomnia?
 Avoid caffeine. A recent study showed that in some people, caffeine is not metabolized efficiently and therefore they can feel the effects long after consuming it. So an afternoon cup of coffee (or even tea) will keep some people from falling asleep. Also, some medications, particularly diet pills contain caffeine.
 Don’t drink too much water when you are going to bed
 Avoid before-bed snacks, particularly grains and sugars. This will raise blood sugar and inhibit sleep. Later, when blood sugar drops too low (hypoglycemia), you might wake up and not be able to fall back asleep. 
 Make certain you are exercising regularly. Exercising for at least 30 minutes everyday can help you fall asleep. However, don't exercise too close to bedtime or it may keep you awake. Studies show exercising in the morning is the best if you can do it
 Find the situation that makes you feel relax. If you're generally content with the way your hormones are performing, you may choose to induce sleep by having a hot bath at night. When body temperature is raised in the late evening, it will fall at bedtime, facilitating sleep, if hormones are causing you real problems, try herbal remedies. 
 Sleep in complete darkness or as close as possible. If there is even the tiniest bit of light in the room it can disrupt your circadian rhythm and your pineal gland's production of melatonin and seratonin. There also should be as little light in the bathroom as possible if you get up in the middle of the night. Please whatever you do, keep the light off when you go to the bathroom at night. As soon as you turn on that light you will for that night immediately cease all production of the important sleep aid melatonin.
 No TV right before bed. Even better, get the TV out of the bedroom or even out of the house, completely. It is too stimulating to the brain and it will take longer to fall asleep. Also disruptive of pineal gland function for the same reason as above.
 Keep the temperature in the bedroom no higher than 70 degrees F. Many people keep their homes and particularly the upstairs bedrooms too hot. 
 Remove the clock from view. It will only add to your worry when constantly staring at it... 2 a.m. ...3 a.m. ... 4:30 a.m. ...
 Keep your bed for sleeping. If you are used to watching TV or doing work in bed, you may find it harder to relax and to think of the bed as a place to sleep.
 Don't change your bedtime. You should go to bed, and wake up, at the same times each day, even on the weekends. This will help your body to get into a sleep rhythm and make it easier to fall asleep and get up in the morning.
Go to the bathroom right before bed. This will reduce the chances that you'll wake up to go in the middle of the night.

Color

For sunny summer days and warm nights, we need a light make up with some fresh, subtle color. Add some highlights to your face, hair and clothes to create a fresh new to you.

Light, Easy Make Up
Forget the heavy coats of eye shadow and foundation. Go easy on the make up and let your natural skip powder and just dab some concealer under your eyes and over blemishes. Use blotting paper to remove shine.

1. Lip Gloss
Lip gloss is a must. If you want to enhance your mouth shape and to keep the gloss from bleeding, use a lip liner in the same color as your lips. Smudge the line to soften the edge. Apply your favorite shade of gloss with your finger or lip brush.


2. Blush 
Use blush, but use it sparingly. Go for a bright color that brushes on sheer for a true blushing effect. Crème blush often looks the most natural. Find the apples of your cheeks by smiling of yourself, and apply the blush where your cheeks puff out in the middle (this part is called “the apple of your cheeks” and is where your blush naturally). Don’t put the blush too far out toward your cheekbones, it just looks unnatural. Dab it on a gently, and don’t be scarred if it looks too red at first – some of the red color comes from the action of rubbing the make up on and will soon disappear.

3. Mascara
Use to kinds of mascara in three coats to get lash density. No single mascara really offers both definition and thickness, and that’s why there are so many mascaras on the market. Use an eyelash curler to curl lashes first – this will open the eye and groom the lashes. This is a very important step to get beautiful result. Start with a defining mascara for two coats. Wipe the wand off before the first coat to prevent clumping. Apply coat in three strokes, starting from the inner eye, the center eye, and then the outer corner. Do a second coat with the same mascara and let set for a minute. Use a thickening mascara for the third and final coat to fill in the defined lashes and create a full lash.

If you like these shades, dress them up with other, more striking colors, and accessories.
