World AIDS DAY!

 Started on 1st December 1988, World AIDS Day is about raising money, increasing awareness, fighting prejudice and improving education. World AIDS Day is important for reminding people that HIV has not gone away, and that there are many things still to be done.

According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 34 million people living with HIV. During 2010 some 2.7 million people became newly infected with the virus, including an estimated 390,000 children. Despite a significant decline in the estimated number of AIDS-related deaths over the last five years, there were still an estimated 1.8 million AIDS-related deaths in 2010.

The vast majority of people with HIV and AIDS live in low- and middle-income countries. But HIV today is a threat to men, women and children on all continents around the world.

"Lets join hands to fight,to protect,to give our loved ones a healthy tomorrow!" So come lets spread the awareness about it.

DIY: FACIAL

This is the best way to take care of your skin at home. It is easy and 
and the time Required is 25-30 minutes. All you need is to Know your skin type and condition to get the right products for your skin.


Things you will need (based on skin type):

Gentle cleanser, exfoliating scrub, warm water and a towel, facial mask, basic moisturizer.

Procedure:

1.   Cleansing

Wash the face, neck and ears with a good facial cleanser to remove any grime or dirt. Don't forget to remove makeup with a makeup remover.

2.   Exfoliating

Using your fingers, rub a gentle exfoliating facial scrub in a circular motion on your face. Concentrate on the areas around your nose and forehead, work harder on the areas that tend to be "greasy." Rinse your face well since exfoliating scrubs tend to be drying.

3.   Steaming

There are several ways to steam your face. You can fill your bowl with warm water, dip a washcloth in and press to your face repeating 2-3 times or you can take it further by boiling water over the stove, then turning off the stove and putting your head over the water with a towel over your head, letting the steam seep into pores for a good 5 minutes.

4.   Mask

For oily skin, use a clay-based face mask. For dry skin, go for a hydrating gel or cream mask. Apply the mask, avoiding the areas around the eyes. Keep it on for 10-20 minutes (or, according to the directions on the product). Rinse completely.

5.   Moisturizing

       Smooth on a soothing, basic moisturizer over your face and neck.
