Egyptian women were known for placing great importance on how good they looked. In an effort to beautify their outward appearance, different beauty techniques were used which included facial masks.
During ancient Egyptian tim es, typical masks were made from different types of clay or mud. Clay was used for oily skin to remove dirt, excess oil, and pollutants. Mud from the Dead Sea is said to be part of Cleopatra’s beauty regime. The minerals helped to draw out toxins and restore healthy skin. People still use this mud treatment because of its high mineral content.
Throughout history, women have used a variety of herbs and fruits to concoct facial masks. Modern day face masks often contain traditional ingredients mixed with vitamin extracts. Facial masks are a popular choice among the ladies because they are versatile and can be customized to meet a person’s individual needs.
You won’t need to dig in the mud or smash fruit to have a great mask on your face thanks to Jan Marini’s C-ESTA Facial Mask. Dubbed as the “perfect mask before a hot date”, the C-ESTA Facial Mask will instantly make your skin firmer and tighter looking. You can find Jan Marini’s C-ESTA Facial Mask and many other great skin care products available at Skin Gift.

 In continuation from Thursday…
• Aging – People who already have dark circles under their eyes will likely have more pronounced dark under eye circles as they continue to age. When excess folds of the skin develop under the eyes, any dark under eye circles will look predominant.
• Pregnancy or Menstruation – The skin often becomes more pale allowing veins under the eyes to become more visible which results in dark circles under the eye.
• Dehydration – Excessive loss of water can be a cause of dark circles under the eyes.
• Sun Exposure – Dark circles occur in both dark and light skinned people when sunscreen is not used and sun exposure is experienced.
• Eye Glasses – When eye glasses are too heavy, blood circulation can be slowed which will cause dark circles.

 As the cold weather sets in and the temperature begins to drop our lips often take a beating and become dry, chapped and inflamed. Lip skin does not contain sebaceous glands so it is particularly susceptible to problems throughout the cold winter months. To avoid problems with your lips, it’s important to keep them moisturized well throughout the entire day and night. Some people make the mistake or have a habit of licking their lips. This is a big no-no, as lip licking may feel good for a few moments, but actually causes the lips to become extremely dry and cracked.
Skin care experts agree that using a good quality lip moisturizer will help protect your lips during the harsh winter months. Jane Iredale’s Lip Drink Lip Balm is colorless and contains no petroleum products that will dry out your lips. The macadamia nut oil base will leave your lips feeling smooth and silky.
