What exactly is Vitamin E and why do most beauty products today have it? According to the experts, Vitamin E is best known for its antioxidant properties. This basically means that it has the ability to help protect vital cell structures by neutralizing molecules called free radicals, which are unstable molecules that come from sources like air pollution and radiation.

A busy schedule is one the most perfect excuses that girls use when they start neglecting themselves. How many times have you heard the line “I have no time”? Countless right? But this shouldn’t be the case. Because believe it or not, all you need to stay pretty is ten minutes tops.
Ready? Here we go:
1. Wash, tone, and moisturize. You’ve heard it time and again, but it’s true. Following this easy, three-step secret can help keep your skin smooth, young, and zit-free. And with spotless skin, what would you need make-up for? If you move quick enough, five minutes is all you need.
2. Hair we go. Your hair is there for a reason and it shouldn’t be ignored. If you think you won’t have time to be bothered with it, then take three minutes to clear the tangles and put it up in a neat pony. Too short? Slather on some gel or wax to keep every strand in place. A messy mop of hair with no sense of direction? Definitely not pretty.
3. Pink is it. You’ve already got perfect skin and your hair’s in place. So all you need to complete the look is to swab a bit of color to your lips and cheeks. A lip and cheek tint would instantly give you a healthy pink glow.

Your eyes are the most striking feature of your face, so it’s important that you emphasize them as much as possible. Mascara is one of the most versatile make-up tools you can use; on their own they look great, and they give your eyes more oomph when worn with eyeshadow. When applying mascara, hold your eyelid taut by putting a finger on the middle of your lid and pulling it up. For short eyelashes, use lengthening mascara; if you have thin eyelashes, use volumizing mascara. Those with sensitive eyes and contact lenses should wear gentle mascara. Finally, waterproof mascara is best for rainy seasons.

There are many different ways to remove stray eyebrow hair. Some women use wax, but this is tricky because it’s difficult to achieve an accurate shape. The most common method is using tweezers. If you want to get rid of your stray eyebrow hairs and achieve the perfect eyebrow, follow these tips.
Start from the inner corner of your eye, right above the tear duct and end at the outside corner above the eyelashes. Ideally, eyebrows should have an arch but naturally, the arch is rarely where it should be. The arch should be over the iris, which is the colored part of your eye. It should also be gentle to soften your features, so do the plucking very slowly, one hair at a time. If you pluck it too hastily you might end up with a “surprised” look that will last for weeks until the hair grows back.

Caffeine, for some situations, taken in moderation has been proven to be an effective perk-up drink. If you can’t sleep and are not particularly anxious, think of how much caffeinated drinks you’ve been having, including cola, tea and coffee. Drinking less caffeine should fix the problem.
Sugar. Having a midnight snack that’s heavy in sugar will cause you to toss and turn because your blood sugar levels will be at an all-time high. If you can’t sleep without a snack, replace your sweets with a sugar-free pastry. But don’t eat a meal as this will also raise your blood sugar.
Too much exercise. According to some research, people who exercise late at night have difficulty sleeping. Try to schedule your workouts in the morning, late afternoon, or early evening.
