All of us want flawless, scab-less skin, yet these mosquitoes seem to beg to differ, they way they feast on our bare arms and legs. Our top of mind solution: apply insect-repellent lotion. Regularly. Yet while you may be protecting your skin from insects, what’s there to protect it from the toxic elements found in commercially-sold insect-repellents and the harm they cause?

“Even if they were made for people to apply on their skin, these are still insecticides. These contain the same elements that are harmful to insects and which they keep away from,” says Dr. Eileen Cubillan, a dermatologist at the Medical Center Manila. “You shouldn’t be applying them too often on your skin, just on rare occasions such as when you go on outdoor trips.”

Dr. Cubillan recommended two natural alternatives to commercial insect-repellents.

We just love the hairstyles of former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham (a.k.a. Posh Spice) and Pop-R&B singer Rihanna! In fact, they have been named by countless celebrity and styling websites as the hairstyle icons for the hottest looks of the season. Their short, stunning dos are a current favorite in salons, with a lot of young women brandishing photos of these two celebrities every time they are asked what cut they want for their hair.
 
In a time when “anything goes” for hairstyles, the sexy “de-styled” or cleverly messed up look particularly for short hair definitely stands out.

For busy, hardworking women, everything she wears should take her from day to night. And this also goes for eye makeup. 
 
That’s why we love eye shadow palettes that have different, complementing shades that can be used to create fresh looks that can brighten up our face even on a busy workday and give us that mysterious and dramatic effect for a night of partying. One application you can use is the 3D makeup technique, which can give you this desired versatility while also giving your eyes stunning depth and brilliance all day long.
