Beauty and Skin Care

Man is attracted to beauty as iron it to the magnet. Beauty is magnetic. Since time immemorial man has been running in the pursuit of beauty. Beauty is a concept that is given undue advantage and can pave the way for many goals. Beauty is treated like that elusive gem, it is not granted to all by god. Only a selected few are gifted with and they use it to their full potential. We will always find ourselves running after external beauty and without having the slightest idea of what lie beneath. External beauty as they say is only skin deep and will fade away with age. What we will carry to our graves are the deeds we don and our inner beauty.

What the people of today need to be aware of it that the way to judge a person is not way he looks but by the way he behaves and his moral values. If people are asked to define beauty, most of them will come up with absurd answers. We really don’t know what beauty is. For most of us beauty is only what is pleasing to the eyes. Beauty casts its spell on everyone. In ancient time people were so spellbound by it that females were worshiped as goddesses for their beauty.

Hindus have been worshipping a goddess as a goddess of money and fertility since ages. When a new female in a family brings monetary gains she is termed as an incarnation of the goddess while when some bad luck hits the family along with the arrival of a newly born girl child or a daughter in-law they term it as bad omen and that the girl brought with her ad luck and that she is ill fated.

Diamonds have also been treated as a symbol of beauty, and most of the time diamonds and women are correlated and synonymous with each other. Women have had this misconception that diamonds enhance their beauty and all of them love t flaunt them unaware of the fact that it is not the diamonds men adore and pursue. It is the beauty in the eyes of them women and the mystic sense of attraction that pulls men towards women and not the diamonds they wear.

Before applying make up on oily skin, we should thoroughly clean our skin with some oil-based moisturizer, as it will help remove the excessive oil on our face.

When we see someone, the first thing we tend to do is look at their face. Their face is like a book. We read people by their expressions and looks. We rate people by the way they appear as well, of course, but the face accounts for a great deal.

It is funny that the saying goes ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder’. Why talk of the eye. The reason is simple. Our eyes are the mirror to our soul. One of the most beautiful and most expressive aspects of our face is our eyes. They provide us with the sense of vision, but also add to any emotion that a person may be feeling at any time. Be it love, hate, anger, joy, sadness or any other emotion, the eyes always tell us the truth.

Our eyes are protected by a thin layer of skin which we call the eyelid. Though it is nature’s way of protecting them, care should be taken not to let any dust, particles, dirt or external matter into our eyes. This can damage our retina, which provides us with vision. A soft cloth or water can be used to clean our eyes regularly. Cleaning should be done gently. The use of an eyeliner or eye shadow will accentuate the features of our eyes, and greatly enhance their beauty as well, while making you look good.

Our eyes give us the power of vision, and should be well kept. They will provide good service to us in return, and allow us to appreciate beauty longer.

Beauty is multi layered. It does not only mean patterning and shape of the physical self. It means the beauty of mind and soul too. The inner beauty of a person is what can overshadow the most beautiful physical being. It is the inner beauty which shows the true characteristics of one and its relationship with Supreme Omnipotent. The inner life force is according to some the most beautiful aspect which when harnessed can conquer all evil attributes.

Some of the attributes of youthful vivacity and energy are characterized as beautiful as one around this time is innocent and not touched by the haunting needs of life. Hence this type of beauty allures the beholder and fills him with love and light and adds a healing touch to ones life.

The standard measure of beauty has been the same since eternity like big eyes, fair complexion, and tall body. But this is not the scope of beauty as almost everything that exists in the world is beautiful as it is the creation of Almighty God who has scattered all beautiful souls around the world to understand the concept of beauty in diversity. This concept is uttered my Keats in his immortal lines saying that truth is beauty and beauty is truth and this is all we mortal millions should know.
