Health and Beauty Tip -- Coloring Your Hair

Don't wash your hair immediately before applying color. Your hair needs that natural oil to protect your scalp from the dye, and it also helps the hair shaft absorb the color more easily.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Lemons for Your Face

Lemon juice, with its high acid level, can help remove age spots. Don't expect to see results right away -- it tends to take several weeks. If you prefer, you can try red onion instead.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

It is not women's liberation, it is women's and men's liberation.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Bronzing Powder

In a pinch, you can use bronzing powder as a natural-looking blush. It can also reduce the noticability of a double chin.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

I tell women not to believe everything they read about fashion.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Stylish Eyeshadow

Even if you're just doing simple makeup, ideally you should use three shades of eyeshadow. Use the darkest color on the lid, the lightest just below the brow bone, and fill the rest with the medium shade.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

I am one of the few men honest enough to say they do not understand women.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Don't Neglect Your Appearance

Even if you're staying home today and no one is going to see you, go through your regular hygiene routine. Skipping a day could be detrimental to your skin, hair, and teeth ... and keeping up will make you feel better, too.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Men and women are like right and left hands; it doesn't make sense not to use both.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Simple Blemish Safeguard

It's not surprising that just about anything near your face can affect how clear your skin is. Make sure to keep the mouthpiece of your phone clean, and don't chew on your writing utensils -- or, if you can't help it, wash those, too.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Not only is women's work never done, the definition keeps changing.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Clean Your Brushes

Dirty makeup brushes can build up with oil and bacteria with repeated use ... and if you're prone to acne, this can be especially disastrous! Clean your brushes and applicators at least once every two weeks. You'll be amazed how effective this is!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Storing Perfumes

Make sure all your perfumes and colognes are capped tightly and kept out of direct sunlight -- they don't have to be kept cold, but a cool, dark place helps it last longer. And don't save up several different perfumes for later. The scent will change over time. Use it when you get it!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

And I think women have come a very, very long way, but they have a long way to go.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Applying Perfume

Only use perfume on your skin, on your pulse points; anywhere else, it won't last (and won't be very detectable). Don't apply any behind your ears, and when you put it on your wrists, don't rub them together -- this will alter the scent.

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Short Hair

If you have long hair and have decided to get it cut short, do so slowly over time. It's better for your hair, and not quite as shocking to your friends and family!

Quote of the Day

Women / Women's Quote /

Women are responsible for creating their own roles.

Health and Beauty Tip -- Bad Haircuts

Even if you're trying to grow out a bad haircut, make sure to keep it trimmed properly. In the meantime, bandannas and hair accessories can be used to your advantage to keep you looking at least somewhat stylish while you wait for your hair to get back to normal!
