Pinterest Announces Beauty Search According To Your Skin Tone
.
Whether you’re looking for an interior design of your future house or a styling tip, you know where to go to. That’s right! Pinterest is an image sharing social media platform for images, and GIFs.
Recently the company announced its newest search capability and that is beauty search. Not only can it seek for inspirations but it helps you find them according to skin tone. Now when you search for something beauty related, Pinterest will offer an option to choose a skin tone “Pick a skin tone range to narrow a search”.
"Pinterest is the home of inspiration, but it's hard to be inspired if you don't feel represented," said the company's Annie Ta in a statement. "With these updates, Pinterest is becoming a more inclusive place to discover and shop for beauty ideas. No one should have to work extra hard to uncover personalised ideas, and all should feel welcome. A more diverse Pinterest is a more useful, positive and powerful one." The "search by skin tone" tool is also part of Pinterest's AR Try On feature, which lets users search for lipstick shades and try them on virtually; the feature is only available in the US for now.
Cardi B Shares Her DIY Avocado Hair Mask and Rice Water For Styling.
.
Repeat with the music.
Rapper Cardi B is a non-trivial beauty influencer. Bright nail art with rhinestones and incredible length is the most noticeable part of the singer's image. But this time Cardi delighted fans with helpful hair care tips. The video with a detailed recipe for the mask was watched by over 6 million subscribers.
What to do?
Comb through dry hair first. If they are tangled, apply conditioner. The hair will become soft and easier to comb. Next, apply a mask.
How to prepare the mask?
To prepare the mask, you will need a blender. Combine the pulp of one avocado, 2 eggs, a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise (Cardi uses avocado oil mayonnaise) and pour castor oil over the eye (about 2 tablespoons).
Apply the resulting mixture to your hair. For greater thermal effect, place a plastic bag or shower cap over your head. Try to keep the mask as long as possible so that the ingredients are well absorbed. Rinse the mask with water.
After the mask, apply rice water to the hair. To do this, soak the rice in plenty of water for a day. Use the spray bottle and spray hair with the rice water.
Wet hair Cardi recommends winding on large curlers and drying it with a hairdryer. At the end of the treatment, style by pulling out the hair with a coarse brush.

Should you massage your lymph nodes?
A good facial can get your skin glowing. But a great one? It could actually detox your entire body.
People are familiar with the body’s vessel system that carries blood to and from the tissues, but few understand there is another equally vital system of vessels that removes cell wastes, proteins, excess fluid, viruses, and bacteria. The lymph system picks up fluids and waste products from the spaces between the cells and then filters and cleans them.
Does lymph drainage massage work?
Lymphatic drainage massage is a highly specialized massage technique that targets the lymphatic system. Lymphatic drainage massage has great modality for people with fluid retention or swelling from post surgery due to their lymph nodes being removed. “In Korea, facial fitness has long been a part of the skincare industry,” says Alicia Yoon, founder of Korean skincare brand Peach & Lily.
What are the benefits of facial massage on the lymphatic system?
When used in conjunction with topical acne products, lymphatic massage of the face and decollete area can be highly effective due to its ability to prevent sluggish circulation and remove unwanted toxins. This reduces puffiness and keeps our complexion healthy. Here are the 6 key benefits of a lymphatic facial massage.
Is lymphatic drainage massage safe?
For the most part lymphatic drainage massage is safe. With such a light touch, the danger of causing damage to the tissue is slim.
The Best Eye Cream According To Me
According to me and my Eye Wrinkles
Hey Mom? It’s me Gina. Wondering why the heck I have so many wrinkles on my eyes?
This is the question I have every morning I wake up and look in the mirror. It’s “genetics, kiddo”. Yes, I know, but I refuse to give up. I tried many creams, including the fancy and pricy La Praire Cellular eye cream brand and that gave me an eye allergy. I gave up for sometime and ordered Korean eye patches. That helped to look a little fresh in the morning, but still not good enough for those wrinkles. I took to Nordstroms the other day and stumbled upon Lancôme Progrès Eye Cream.
To be precise the sales person at the counter asked if I needed help and I described my problem. To which she said, “Have you ever tried Progres by Lancome?” To be honest I was surprised to hear that Lancome brand could create something out of the ordinary, but her sales skill win me over. I bought myself Progrès Eye Cream and wanna know which eye cream I recommend to all of my friends now?

Beauty Is Getting Smarter: CES Rundown
Big time beauty companies like L’Oreal and Neutrogena are jumping on tech trends and launching new products to bring a pretty new face to electronics. This year at CES - the annual consumer electronics show that takes place in Las Vegas - there were a wave of launch announcements related to skin health and technology.
From devices that measure your skin and recommend products, to a smart sheet mask treatment that accelerates the time of wearing a mask down to two minutes, the beauty-tech gadgets featured at CES are sure to make beauty lovers shine.
Here are some of the most talked about products in the beauty tech community at CES this year, followed by the most important information - when and where users can buy them.
Get the perfect tan, and never get a sunburn again
Reapplying sunscreen is an art. Yet anyone who waits too long to reapply sunscreen is violating the first beauty secret of all, which is to always wear sunscreen. But at the beach you are jumping in and out of the water, and on hot days you sweat, so the sunscreen comes off and you forget to re-apply it. In cases like these, how much are you exposing your skin to harmful UV light during a day at the beach? And when should you re-apply your sunscreen?
Paul Peros, Foreo CEO says, “Face masks have been around since Cleopatra’s time, but here at Foreo we knew there had to be a better way. After four years in development and many sleepless nights - boom - the UFO has finally landed,” referring Foreo UFO - the world’s most advanced smart mask. Featuring Hyper-Infusion Technology (heating, cooling, and t-sonic pulsations, the UFO offers professional level treatment from your home.
To use the device, simply pop out the plastic ring and place one of the two round paper thin Foreo masks inside the device. Then choose the daytime or nighttime option. Secure the ring around the mask and press the button on top to activate the t-sonic pulsations and LED light therapy, which work in unison to help your skin absorb the mask faster to give you radiant skin. Massage the device all over your face and neck for 90 seconds to finish the treatment.
Now, you can put a fast track to having flawless looking skin by turning a 20 minute treatment into a 90 second treat.
The Foreo UFO Mini will retail for $199 with free shipping worldwide coming this April in limited supply.
Get Up Close And Personal With Your Skin
Neutrogena's newest technology innovation is like having a dermatologist at home. The SkinScanner tool fits over the top of your phone to take a closer look at your skin. The SkinScanner ultra-magnifying lens has built in LED lights and sensors that collect data on your skin and then delivers all that data to your phone. The gadget has an accompanying app that allows users to track skin moisture levels and other factors like wrinkles and acne. The app will also offer you product recommendations for your skin type based on the information collected by the SkinScanner.
L’Oreal solves this problem with it’s skin safety technology. A few years back, the company released the UV Patch, a sticker patch with a sensor in it that syncs to your iPhone to let you keep track of UV exposure. This year, the product is new and improved with UV Sense, a small sensor sticker that fits on your thumbnail and connects to an app where you can get information on your sun exposure. It will even tell you when you need to reapply sunscreen.
UV Sense by L’Oreal is launching summer 2018. You can buy it on their website, and while they have not announced the price yet, their spokesperson told me it will cost under $50.
Get results from your Mirror
Smart mirrors have been around for some time now. In the 90s, there were smart mirrors that would let you watch TV or check the weather. Fortunately, the mirrors in 2018 have gotten to be much smarter. . For example, HiMirror brings skincare assistance to the product with a built in camera that captures video of your skin and analyzes your skin to track results.
Using HiMirror, you can track your pores, redness and dark circles under your eyes, all while receiving real time feedback on your progress and goals. It may sound a little annoying to have your mirror point out your flaws, but the upside is that the mirror has some useful information to share about the products you use. For example, you can scan your skincare products by holding them up to the mirror to get notifications on when expiration dates are coming up.
The mirror will also provide all of your skin data and stay connected with you through Alexa. The Mini version of HiMirror has Alexa built in with a microphone and speaker to tell you the weather or play music for you while you get ready.
HiMirror Mini retails for $249 and is expected to be released in 2018 on HiMirror.com.
Speed up your Sheet Mask Routine
Facial masks were a big beauty trend last year, but is lying down for 20 minutes under cold, wet sheets of paper really the best we can do for 2018? I didn’t think so.
Foreo, the company that made the Luna vibrating soap scrub?, is bringing innovation to sheet masks. This is a common mask application process where the mask is applied to your face through a thin sheet similar in texture to wet paper. Usually a sheet mask treatment takes 15-20 minutes, but with the Foreo gadget you can get results in just 90 seconds. Now you can get more mask time because you can integrate this routine into your busy work day morning, rather than planning on an extended weekend skin care routine.
Paul Peros, Foreo CEO says, “Face masks have been around since Cleopatra’s time, but here at Foreo we knew there had to be a better way. After four years in development and many sleepless nights - boom - the UFO has finally landed,” referring Foreo UFO - the world’s most advanced smart mask. Featuring Hyper-Infusion Technology (heating, cooling, and t-sonic pulsations, the UFO offers professional level treatment from your home.
To use the device, simply pop out the plastic ring and place one of the two round paper thin Foreo masks inside the device. Then choose the daytime or nighttime option. Secure the ring around the mask and press the button on top to activate the t-sonic pulsations and LED light therapy, which work in unison to help your skin absorb the mask faster to give you radiant skin. Massage the device all over your face and neck for 90 seconds to finish the treatment.
Now, you can put a fast track to having flawless looking skin by turning a 20 minute treatment into a 90 second treat.

The gadget has an accompanying app that allows users to track skin moisture levels and other factors like wrinkles and acne. The app will also offer you product recommendations for your skin type based on the information collected by the SkinScanner.
To use the SkinScanner tool, all you have to do is put the device over your phone and hold it up to your face, resting the lense on your skin. The technology captures your face and sends information to the app to analyze your skin and recommend products.
The problem with this device, however, is that the app only recommends Neutrogena products. Shoppers may want to buy a variety of products, which means more brands to choose from.
Neutrogena Skin360 App and SkinScanner Tool will release this year on Neutrogena.com for $49.99.
Perhaps more brand agnostic is Lumini, an artificially intelligent Skincare assistant. Lumini is a Samsumg spin off company, so unlike the Neutrogena SkinScanner, Lumini won’t be biased to sell users it’s own products.
Lumini is a product prototype that was created as part of C-Labs, a Samsung initiative to introduce ideas to the market and gauge the public’s reaction so that Samsung can decide where to further invest their money to generate returns, but also to help improve the gadgets before they are released. Unfortunately, this means that the Lumini is not a product coming to consumers in 2018.
Lumini is a portable device that spots skin problems before they even occur. You take your picture with the Lumini device, and it analyses the information using an AI algorithm. It then sends the diagnosis to an app for you to view. The gadget will identify issues that may be under the surface of the skin, like pimples or freckles that have not yet developed. It can also tell if your pores have increased or decreased. Lumini then recommends cosmetic products based on its analysis and even offers users a remote consulting service with a real dermatologist or skin care specialist.
Another device in the Samsung C-Labs class is S-Skin, which uses a microneedle patch with a portable device to analyze your skin. The microneedle patch penetrates your skin to deliver skincare products like moisturizer while, at the same time, measuring information about your skin in that specific area. The device can measure hydration, redness, and melanin of the skin to provide customised skincare products. The condition of your skin can be tracked over time on the accompanying app.
Yet while Lumini and S-Skin products may be more advanced than the SkinScanner,the SkinScanner is certain to move into production. Lumini and S-Skin are prototypes that are not available at this time. Hopefully these two Samsung products make it to the market by the end of the year, though. In the meantime, beauty lovers have the Neutrogena SkinScanner at the tip of their fingers.
Why CES is the Hotbet for Beauty
Who knew the Consumer Electronics Show would become the hotbed of beauty technology and innovation? While January is the best time of year to announce product launches for tech companies, now beauty companies have added the conference as a must-go addition to the beauty brand’s calendar. CES has had so much traction in the beauty space that they added the Beauty Tech Summit as programming to the conference. As geek chic customers are buying more sophisticated and innovative solutions, brands are taking note of the customer’s demand to add tech to their beauty routines.
Joliegazette editors uncovered the top beauty essentials to help you look your best this summer.

Energy gymnastics is best done when you are most comfortable. Gradually getting used to, you will feel better and better, younger and more cheerful!

FORGOTTEN BEAUTY TIPS THAT YOUR ANCESTORS USED
The Often Forgotten Beauty Tips You Must Know
There are a lot of things that the ladies of the past knew that are still useful to know today. Whether they have been passed down through generations of your own family or they are tips we have learned from ancient Egypt, we shouldn’t dismiss beauty advice just because it’s old. Here are beauty tips that your ancestors would have known all about.
Lip Scrub
Sea salt, 100% pure vegetable glycerin, rose water. Mix and apply on your lips.
#Body Scrub
1 Cup gram flour, 1 Big spoon of plain yogurt, little bit of lemon, sandalwood powder, Turmeric (add milk if needed). Apply on your body and scrub it. Rinse with warm water and Voila!
Dry Scalp Treatment
Full fat yogurt, tea spoon of honey, 1 egg. Apply and keep on for 30 minutes. Rinse with baby shampoo or warm water.
Eggs
The first mention of eggs being used as an ingredient in skin care treatments dated back thousands of years to the Chen Dynasty in China in 600 BC. While they may not have had mayonnaise readily available like we do, they still used egg whites to tighten the skin and they knew that the protein in eggs would moisturise and nourish their skin.
Rose water
The benefits of rose water are far more wide reaching than we give it credit for. This is another beauty treatment that dates all the way back to ancient Egypt. Back then, it was used for tightening the pores, as an antiaging treatment, and as a cleanser.
Marie Antoinette’s age defying gloves
If anything was going to give away your age, then it would be hands. Marie Antoinette kept her hands soft and wrinkle free by wearing gloves at night that were lined with sweet almond oil, wax and rose water.
Ice water
Splash your face with ice cold water twice a day and that will cleanse your skin, tighten up your pores and remove excess oil. It might be a bit old fashioned, but a lot of beauticians still recommend this treatment today.
Avocado
The healthy fats in avocados are great for the skin, but the ancient Aztec civilizations discovered that centuries ago. Today, you can use avocado oil to keep your skin looking healthy. It’s easily absorbed and it nourishes and moisturises skin without clogging up the pores.
Green tea
The ladies of the east have known about its many health and beauty uses for centuries. It is the antioxidants in green tea that are responsible for its anti-ageing properties, and there is now research being done to discover that green tea can even reverse the signs of ageing. How about that ?
Summer Beauty Trend: Minimalism
It’s no secret that this year in fashion has been chalk-full of ornamentation; however, there was one trend that went against the norm and I’m happy to say it popped up just in time for summer. This trend is the minimalist make-up look. The runways were filled with models sporting very mild tans, glowing complexions, and practically no make-up… or so it seems. Granted, it may take some time to master the finesse that is required to pull-off the no make-up look (ironic, I know), but when you do, it will save you time, money, and the fear of getting raccoon eyes on those sweltering summer afternoons. So slap on that sunscreen, sprinkle on some foundation, maybe throw on a hat while you’re at it and get ready for a summer full of (practically) make-up free bliss.
