Summer is here and visions of beaches are dancing in your heads! With bikinis galore, the season just isn't complete without a tan. But, laying out in the sun for hours has its risks. So, what's a sun deprived gal to do? Get a fake tan, of course.
Don't go running away just yet—fake tans have come a long way from their orangey youth. Sophisticated new technologies can give you a natural-looking summer hue.
Nicole Scherzinger sported a healthy glow at the Formula One Grand Prix in Valencia. To get a similar bronze, here are a few tips and tricks:
* Exfoliate—especially those rough spots like knees and elbows, which tend to absorb more tanner.
* Tan gradually. Nothing screams fake tan more than going from pasty one day to cocoa the next. Try a tanner that builds up over several days for the most natural look.
* Know your tanners: Sprays, creams and gels all have different results, so read the instructions before you buy.
* Use a special facial tanner. You wouldn't put just any body lotion on your face, right? Same goes for tanners.
* Let it dry. Hang out in the buff for at least half an hour before getting dressed.
You'll be tan and gorgeous in no time...and don't forget the SPF!

Fruit stem cells used in facials
HI-TECH facials infused with gold and apple stem cells are the latest craze in luxury beauty treatments on the Gold Coast.
In the quest to slow the ageing process without surgery, men and women are turning to unusual methods.
Queensland company Ultraderm is creating a stir with its introduction of the range featuring the stem cell extract, taken from the Swiss uttwiler spatlauber apple, which is being heralded as the new international wonder product.
American first lady Michelle Obama and actors Helen Mirren and Jennifer Lopez are already publicly supporting the extract's effects.
Used in creams and serums, stem cells from the fruit are said to stimulate human skin stem cells, supporting regeneration and delaying the onset of wrinkles.
Pauline Valle from Ultraderm said the stem cell products, only available to salons, were best used after undergoing skin needling -- a therapy where a micro roller dotted with 1mm needle tips is gently run over the face.
"It's very therapeutic, almost like mini acupuncture," she said.
Ms Valle said the roller stimulates the skin surface similar to aerating a lawn and the apple stem cell serum then aids in cell rejuvenation, smoothing out deep wrinkles.
"When you mention stem cells at first people are a little wary but this is clean and safe," said Ms Valle.
"We don't need to go into the animal kingdom for stem cells, this is all about amazing plants like these apples."

Feeling good, looking good
ACCORDING to Vasthu Sastra, beauty is certainly more than skin deep. To achieve everyone’s dream of looking and feeling good, this ancient science says that we must consider how we treat our bodies, what we consume and how we occupy the spaces we dwell in.
Harmonising the space in which we live can have a huge influence on our inner and out well-being. Our bodies and the spaces we occupy are two separate masses of vibrating energies, and both masses need to be in tune before we can enjoy inner peace that will be visible outwardly on our bodies and faces.
To address just one aspect of harmonising our living spaces, let me talk about sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep in your home is vital because a well-rested body can ward off many diseases. Also, not sleeping enough every night will hinder good metabolism and hormone production in a way that is similar to the effects of ageing.
Applying mint juice regularly to the face will help keep spots away. – File photo
If you’re sleeping as a couple, you should face east or west for a sound sleep. Avoid facing south, as this position will result in mood disturbances, nightmares, and a broken sleep that will result in feeling fatigued and weak upon waking.
Couples should occupy the highly energised south-west quadrant of a home to enjoy marital bliss and enhanced sexual relationships. Stay completely away from the south-east fire quadrant and the north-east water quadrant – both locations are inauspicious and will weaken health and marital bonds.
As for food, we are what we eat, as they say – and Vasthu Sastra adds that where we cook the food we eat also affects our bodies. The ancient science says that food should be cooked in the south-east or north-west areas of the home because these two locations will guarantee that the dishes will not give health issues. All other locations for the kitchens are unfavourable. Additionally, when preparing meals in the south-east, the cook should face east; in the north-west, he or she should face north.
Ancient Indian practices also have much to offer women looking for natural ways to enhance external appearances, too. These practises have drawn on herbs, spices, fruits and vegetables for centuries to help women look beautiful. Here are just a few tips to:
·Brighten complexion: Combine turmeric powder with sandal wood paste and apply to face.
·Delay age spots: Rub a piece of lemon over your hands before washing.
·Keep skin glowing: Make a paste of raw carrots, apply to the face and leave it on for one hour.
·Prevent dry lips: Grind rose petals, mix with butter milk and apply.
·Reduce wrinkles: Mix cabbage juice and one teaspoon of honey and apply regularly on the face.
·Remove black and white heads: Rub face gently with a mixture of soap and salt, then rinse with cold water.
·Remove spots: Apply mint juice regularly. For tougher cases of pimples, swab affected area with camphor lotion daily and wash off with mild medicated soap.
·Remove unwanted facial hair: Take equal quantities of turmeric powder and wheat flour and make a paste with sesame oil and apply to face.
·Stop hair loss: Blend bananas with honey, yogurt and low fat milk and drink for a few weeks.

sun safety tips
The sun is a strange beast. During childhood, it is a source of joy – a sign of summer and an invitation to get out from indoors. But at a certain age, when one becomes cognizant of its malign powers, the sun mutates from friend to foe. It is only in the past few years that I have come to comprehend all the signs of aging for which the sun is responsible. Big brown spots. Small white spots. Moles. Leathery skin. Deep wrinkles. Tiny blood vessels. All of these lovely skin accouterments have the sun to thank for their existence. And then there’s skin cancer, lurking amid atypical moles and scaly lesions stimulated by the sun. When you think about it, the sun is the skin’s worst nightmare.
I learned at an early age that the sun is capable of great evils, especially for someone with my fair skin, prone to proliferating freckles and painful burns. Slathering sun block on the younger me often came with kicking and screaming. But it was critical, since I spent many of my days splashing and running around under the Florida sun. I was persnickety about my choice of sunscreen, amenable only to oil-free face sticks and body sprays. Years of applying only the bare minimum of sun protection has left me mottled and moley. I’m not happy about it, but I’ve learned my lesson.
Nonetheless, there were moments when my judgement slipped. Buying a multi-pack of visits to roast in a tanning booth before prom and during a semester abroad in Ireland were my most flagrant skin abuses. But I was young and vain, more focused on having a healthy tan in the here and now than suffering the health consequences in the far-off future. Nowadays, my sunscreen dilemma combines the prerequisites of providing broad spectrum protection, achieving compatibility with my daily moisturizer (since sunscreen alone is not sufficient for my dry skin), avoiding a greasy sheen or ghostly pallor, bypassing breakouts, and keeping icky chemicals at bay. Yes, it’s a tall order.
For daily safeguarding against the sun, I alternate between two favorites. No sunscreen is capable of making my face as wonderfully matte, balanced, and glowing as DoshaCare Sakala SPF 28 ($29). The formula, based on Ayurvedic principles, blends extracts from turmeric, aloe vera, sandalwood, neem, eucalyptus, hibiscus, fenugreek, shikakai, and tulsi. No less than 98% of its ingredients are drawn from the Earth. Another botanical beauty, Lather Botanical Sunscreen SPF 25 is a lightweight lotion that blends nicely on top of my regular moisturizer, though another layer isn’t even necessary. Defense against UV rays is managed by micronized zinc oxide, while extracts from antioxidant-rich green tea, grape leaf, aloe, and olive, as well as B & E vitamins, provide extra protection. At $16, it is also a great buy since one bottle goes a very long way.
As for the rest of my body, no part goes uncovered if I plan to be in the sun for longer than my morning commute. My lips get a layer of Mission Skincare Lip Balmer SPF 15, one of the only SPF-charged balms I’ve found that lasts a long time and doesn’t taste like sunscreen. My decollete gets shielded and smoothed out by Skin2Skin Organic Anti-Photoaging SPF 30 ($68), a tinted sunscreen that combines zinc oxide and titanium oxide, along with all sorts of organic wonders. Warning: Do not get this sunscreen near white clothing – it should be treated with as much caution as liquid foundation.
Before my Monday evening beach volleyball games, I spritz on some Supergoop Bug Away Spray SPF 30 ($16)- also essential for summer picnics, barbecues, and hikes. When I need to whip out the big guns for an entire afternoon outdoors, I rely on my new drugstore buys: Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF 70 ($10) for the face and body. The formulas may not win any all-natural awards, but they do incorporate a number of sun blockers for broad spectrum protection. Both sheer lotions are oil-free, fast-absorbing, and sweat-proof, making them worthy opponents to the sun throughout an active day.
My mother could be the poster child for any sun safety campaign. All my life, she would never venture outdoors unless she was cloaked from head to toe like Zorro. Sunscreen – no matter how high the SPF – can’t cut it. My mom dreads sitting by the pool, walking on the beach, and going for a boat ride, since each of these activities demands prolonged sun exposure. Playing tennis always entails large-brimmed hats, white long-sleeved shirts, and white leggings under a pleated skirt – even in the middle of an oppressive summer. She would rather get ill from heat exhaustion than risk exposing her flesh to the sinister sun. It makes you wonder why on earth my parents would choose to settle down in Florida of all places.
Though I have never been as vigilant as my mother about my sun protection, once I passed the quarter-century mark, my approach to skin care took a serious turn. I became determined to not just protect my skin from daily UV assault but to also reverse damage already done. I briefly flirted with hydroquinone (in gloTherapeutics gloLightening serum) with the brazen hope that it would vanish my sun spots quickly, without causing the harm that has earned it a black mark in some countries. How silly of me. I learned the hard way that a) my skin is too sensitive to handle this severe irritant and b) the threat of cancer keeps me up at night. After waking up with a patch of flaming red skin, I kicked hydroquinone to the curb. There are so many better, safer alternatives.
I’ve had lots of luck with PRESCRIBEDSolutions A Bolt of Lightening, which uses an enzyme inhibitor called hexylresorcinol to break up excess melanin deposits and block the production of new melanin. It also draws on plant extracts with proven lightening properties such as koji acid, arbutin, and azelaic acid. In the not too distant future, I will probably pony up for photodynamic therapy to see if I can tone down my hyperpigmentation for good.
Bottom line: my skin will never again be a blank canvas thanks to the sun. I know that my sun spots are, for the most part, here to stay and that they will inevitably be joined by wrinkles, scars, and more freckles with time. Alas, that’s all part of the aging process. If you have a favorite sun fighting or fading product, please leave a comment and spread the love!

How to achieve a natural made-up look
I see a lot of celebrities on TV and they always look great. How do I achieve a natural-looking make-up look that I can use every day without looking made-up? Hope you can share some pointers and tips.
Tisha
TV makeup
is very different from everyday makeup. Celebrities face a lot of intense lighting, which could drown their features. Even when models have fashion shows, makeup tends to be heavier and more dramatic not only because there’s a certain “look” that will complement the clothes, but also because stage lighting can make the models’ faces look washed out.
When it comes to achieving a natural make-up look you can use for every day, keep in mind that you’ll be dealing with a lot of people up close. Makeup for TV and the runway will be too much. Makeup isn’t supposed to draw on a new face. Your makeup should enhance your features but still make you look like yourself.
Check out these “before” and “after” pictures from the photo shoot of my students from our print modeling class. None of these photos were retouched or Photoshopped. Top makeup artist Eric Maningat, who has done countless magazine covers, beauty shoots, and make-up looks for the runway, beautifully transformed these girls into swans with simple natural makeup. To perfect your own everyday natural make-up look, here are some essential tips.
• Eric’s tip: When it comes to natural makeup, the most important is your foundation — it should match your skin tone as closely as possible.
• Rissa’s tip: Always remember to test foundation on your face and not on your hand. If you’re wearing makeup, remove a section and test the foundation there. Testing makeup over makeup will not give you an accurate reading.
• Eric’s tip: To avoid having a flat face with just all foundation, contour the cheekbones, the nose line, and the jaw line. This accentuates your features. Use a tan colored pressed powder so it doesn’t look thick and heavy on your skin.
• Rissa’s tip: Remember to keep it very subtle. The key is to make sure it is well-blended. It should look natural, like a mere hint of a shadow.
• Eric’s tip: Define your eyebrows. I don’t use black or brown for the brows. It can look too harsh. To give natural but well-defined brows, I blend together brown eyebrow powder and concealer in a dark tone. Apply this using an eyebrow brush.
• Rissa’s tip: Grooming eyebrows can be as important as combing your hair. Eyebrows frame your eyes and create an expression for the entire face. After defining your brows, tame unruly brows into shape by using a clear mascara to brush them upward.
• Eric’s tip: Use eyeliner only on the upper lashline. This helps define the eyes. Apply a very thin line so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup at all.
• Rissa’s tip: Always smudge those lines. They should be undetectable. Smudging is a good way to camouflage your mistakes if the lines you drew weren’t that neat. Smudge the lines a little with a brush or sponge applicator. You can also use a cotton swab for a softer look.
• Eric’s tip: Curl your lashes to death and apply mascara on both your upper and lower lashes. This really opens up the eyes para buhay talaga. You won’t even need eye shadow anymore.
• Rissa’s tip: Thick lashes are the ultimate eye opener. But try to keep it natural. Put on a lot of thin coats rather than one thick coat of mascara. Black mascara may look good on everyone, but black-brown mascara can give you a softer look.

Tisha
TV makeup
is very different from everyday makeup. Celebrities face a lot of intense lighting, which could drown their features. Even when models have fashion shows, makeup tends to be heavier and more dramatic not only because there’s a certain “look” that will complement the clothes, but also because stage lighting can make the models’ faces look washed out.
When it comes to achieving a natural make-up look you can use for every day, keep in mind that you’ll be dealing with a lot of people up close. Makeup for TV and the runway will be too much. Makeup isn’t supposed to draw on a new face. Your makeup should enhance your features but still make you look like yourself.
Check out these “before” and “after” pictures from the photo shoot of my students from our print modeling class. None of these photos were retouched or Photoshopped. Top makeup artist Eric Maningat, who has done countless magazine covers, beauty shoots, and make-up looks for the runway, beautifully transformed these girls into swans with simple natural makeup. To perfect your own everyday natural make-up look, here are some essential tips.
• Eric’s tip: When it comes to natural makeup, the most important is your foundation — it should match your skin tone as closely as possible.
• Rissa’s tip: Always remember to test foundation on your face and not on your hand. If you’re wearing makeup, remove a section and test the foundation there. Testing makeup over makeup will not give you an accurate reading.
• Eric’s tip: To avoid having a flat face with just all foundation, contour the cheekbones, the nose line, and the jaw line. This accentuates your features. Use a tan colored pressed powder so it doesn’t look thick and heavy on your skin.
• Rissa’s tip: Remember to keep it very subtle. The key is to make sure it is well-blended. It should look natural, like a mere hint of a shadow.
• Eric’s tip: Define your eyebrows. I don’t use black or brown for the brows. It can look too harsh. To give natural but well-defined brows, I blend together brown eyebrow powder and concealer in a dark tone. Apply this using an eyebrow brush.
• Rissa’s tip: Grooming eyebrows can be as important as combing your hair. Eyebrows frame your eyes and create an expression for the entire face. After defining your brows, tame unruly brows into shape by using a clear mascara to brush them upward.
• Eric’s tip: Use eyeliner only on the upper lashline. This helps define the eyes. Apply a very thin line so it doesn’t look like you’re wearing makeup at all.
• Rissa’s tip: Always smudge those lines. They should be undetectable. Smudging is a good way to camouflage your mistakes if the lines you drew weren’t that neat. Smudge the lines a little with a brush or sponge applicator. You can also use a cotton swab for a softer look.
