Hot Baths

Filed under: Uncategorized — by paripl110707 @ 11:39 pm

I’ve heard that hot baths can dry out my skin, but I love taking them when the weather gets cold.  Is there a way to make them more moisturizing? –H.J., Tarrytown, N.Y.

DON’T LET THE BATH GET TOO hot—it should be comfortable to step into.  “Hot water removes the oils from your skin,” says Jerome d. Fallon, M.D., instructor of dermatology at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

“Add a few drops of an oil-based bath product—such as a bath oil or a soak—that is formulated to penetrate skin under water.  Avoid detergent-filled bubble baths and powders, which can dry out your skin,”  says Helga Hefner, a trainer in skin and body care at “Aveda.  Limit soaking time to 15 to 20 minutes.  (Try:  Aveeno Bath Treatment, Erbe Chamomile Bath Foam, Aveda soothing Aqua Therapy).

Beauty tricks use and you should, too!

LIPS  Natural-looking lips depend on correct lip-liner use.  Outline lips with a neutral pencil, then—and this is key—fill completely with the pencil.  top with gloss or lipstick, says Tina Earnshaw, a makeup pro who tends to stars such as Kate Winslet (on whose lower lip the pencil also helps fill in a tiny white scar).

HANDS  “Ignore your hands and they’ll be a give-away of aging,” says UCLA derm Joshua Wieder, M.D. (Think brown spots, dull skin, wrinkles) Dr. Wieder cites the youthful, unlined hands of an artist Kate Hudson and suggest treating yours to Renova or whatever anti-aging cream your use on your face.

BROWS  Matching your eyebrows to your hair makes you look faded (i.e., older), says Damone Roberts, who has tended the brows of Madonna, J.Lo and Lara Flynn Boyle.  His rule of brow;  if you’re blonde, brows should be a shade of two darker than your hair;  if brunette, opt for a shade or two lighter.

LASHES  The secret to luscious eyelashes?  Not just mascara—cake eyeliner, says Lisa Casino of Chroma Makeup, a studio Rachel Weisz frequents.  With a pointed brush, dot it between the base of lashes, then apply mascara.  This adds depth but “won’t read as eyeliner.”  

HAIR  Nelson Chan  of Estetica (client include Heather Graham) finishes hair wil gel, shine drops and, sometimes, a leave-in conditioner, all mixed in a spray bottle for more even application.  Try one part get to two parts waterl; add a few drops of a shine product or leave-in conditioner; shake well. – SELF
