Dos and don'ts fornaturally glowing skin

The first signs of a beautifulskin are - soft, smooth andglowing. To get a flawless

skin, here are a couple of skincare dos and don'ts to follow.DosWear makeup with the most natu-ral ingredients possible. Mineralmakeup provides flawless cov-erage while allowing your skin tobreathe. Fewer ingredients oftenmeans the makeup's better foryour skin. Exfol iate regularly.

Once a week works for most. Ifyou have oily or combinationskin, use a chemical exfoliatorlike glycolic or salicylic acid.Those with normal or sensitiveskin will reap the greatest benefitwith a microdermabrasion for-mula exfoliator -- the kind withlittle beads that scrub your face.Use eye cream every day! Theskin around your eyes is very thinand fragile. Protect it with an SPF30 eye cream. Eat and dr ink

healthful foods. Great skin star tson the inside. Drink lots of waterto keep hydrated, and ingest lotsof antioxidants like those found ingreen tea and foods high in vita-mins A, E, C and beta carotene.Antioxidants fight free radicals,which can cause cell damage.(Bonus: Antioxidants also helpprotect against cancers and hear tdisease!) Follow a regimen regu-larly. Caring for your skin shouldbe a twice-dai ly occurrence.

Don't be slapdash about your regi-men or follow it only sporadicallyand expect to see any lasting re-sults.Dont'sSmoking prematurely ages yourskin at a rate second only to sundamage. Nicotine constricts theblood vessels, blocking the flowof oxygen to your skin. Forget towear sunscreen! Make your mois-turizer do double duty and wearone with an SPF of at least 30,even in the winter, and even if youare only outdoors a few minutesa day. Forget your neck, chest andhands. These areas age the fast-est and are all but ignored in ourskincare routines. Sunscreen,exfoliation and moisturization arejust as impor tant in these areasas they are on your face. Look foranti-aging ingredients like vitaminA, kinetin, copper and vitamin C.Overdry your skin. Many womenmake the mistake of staging afu l l -sca le d ry ing assau l t ontheir ent i re faces when con-fronted with a pimple. This onlymakes the p rob lem worse .When skin is stripped of all itsnatural oils, it produces evenmore sebum to make up for it.This substance is what clogspores , caus ing p imp les . Agentle cleanser and regular ex-foliation is kind to your skin, yete f f ec t i ve enough fo r mos twomen -- but do see your der-matologist if you feel you havean acne problem.

TAKE CARE OF YOURMARBLE FLOORING

MAKE THE BEST USE OF

EVERY SPACE AT HOME

More and more people arelooking for ways to stretchspace and resources. Forsome, it's a necessity. Forothers, it's a reaction to theempty nest. For still others,it's a quest for simplicity. Andit does not imply that livingsmall means not living well.Comfor t and aesthetics arethoroughly compatible with acompact home. Limitationoften breeds inventionStrategies for living in the not-so-big houseWhat do you do when your lifeno longer fills the space youlive in, or the space asks toomuch of your life? You lookfor alternatives — a smallercabin, or cottage that's bettershaped to fit your functional,economic and psychological

HERE ARE WAYS TO RETAIN THEREGAL AIR OF YOUR MARBLE DECOR

Using marble for home interiors presents a marvelous pan-oramic view to home. If you have spent a good amount of moneyon installing marble as flooring or for decorative structures athome, you need to take special care to maintain the beauty ofthis stone. There are some precautions you need to take whenworking with marble:-Liquid or food containing acid when spilled on marble floorscould cause it to etch, or leave a dull mark on its surfaces. Thedull mark or stain may either be as large as a coin size or couldspread over several tiles. So, if you manage to drop any fruitjuices, carbonated beverages, wine and even tea on the marblesurface, gently rub the marble with the a clean cloth dipped ina solution of hydrogen peroxide mixed with a few drops of am-monia until it retains its shine.-Another terrible source of etch marks and stains are cleaningdetergents which contain acid. Never use vinegar or any otheracidic products to clean marble floors. Marble is delicate andshould only be cleaned with PH natural, gentle cleaners. It isadvisable not to use locally available cheap quality cleanerwhich may result permanent loss of shining.-Marble floor tiles are porous and can easily be discolored byspills from food, sitting pots, metal furniture legs, oil, ink, waterdamage, etc. Cooking oils or any other type of greasy productscan stain marble like floor. Hence, you should clean it up immediatelywith some soap and water. -Regular cleaning of a marble surface anddusting of marble furniture helps to retain its natural shine for a longtime. The best way is to use a terry cloth to wipe up any dirt. Instead ofusing hot water, it is advisable to wet the marble top with lukewarmwater. You don't require scrubbing marble surface unless there aresome hard materials present on it. After cleaning the surface withcleaners, you could apply smooth polishing for making the marbleglittering and shining.

IT IS INDEED A TASK TO COMBINE COMFORT WITHCHARACTER IN MINIMAL SQUARE FOOTAGE.

needs.A move to a smaller spaceneedn't mean scaling downyour dreams. Think ofdownsizing as an oppor tunityto accomplish at least thesethree things:- You can live in a morestimulating or more scenicplace.- You can liquidate clutter,both among your furnishingsand on your daily to-do list.The smaller the space, theless maintenance it shouldrequire.- You can enhance yoursatisfaction with your sur-roundings. Your house can besmall, beautiful, and richlydetailed and that thesequalities are more rewardingto the spirit than mere size.

Downsizing made easyOrchestrating a domesticdownsizing isn't easy. Itinvolves tough choices,compromises, and an inquiryinto personal values. Hereare some recommendations.- Project your lifestyle aheadinto the smaller space. Whatwill you have to give upthat's impor tant to you, andis there a way to adapt? Forexample, the pleasure ofbackyard gardening couldtranslate to containergardening on a condo deck,cultivating bonsai in asunroom, or even growingherbs in the kitchen.- You'll obviously have togive or throw things away,but these decisions cansprawl over some reflective

t ime.- Recognise that you'veoutgrown some habits andobligations.- If there are two or more ofyou, personal and privatespace remains essential.Each person doesn't have toown an entire room; it can bean intimate alcove or a retreatcarved out of a store room. Itcan be visually implied with ascreen. But the smaller thedwelling, the more impor tantthe preservation of privatespace.- Unless you're a determinedhermit, create a way forfamily and friends to stay withyou. A futon, sofa bed, or aday bed is a modest invest-ment in welcoming guests,and it can go in a room thatotherwise serves as a studyor home office.- Learn about the visualstrategies that make smallspaces seem larger - mir-rored walls, an open flow fromroom to room, varied qualitiesof light and big windows orFrench doors that open toviews or outdoor livingspaces.- If you still have misgivingsabout moving into what seemslike a confining space, trythinking of it as an investmentin time, not in place. The morewe get rid of clutter and itsmaintenance, the more we gain intime — our one truly non renew-able resource. The best advice was written morethan 120 years ago by WilliamMorris, the English designerand philosopher, "Havenothing in your houses thatyou do not know to be useful,or believe to be beautiful."
