The best way to getting stronger, longer nails is mostly through simple lifestyle changes. Therefore, getting healthy nails also means getting rid of some bad habits, such as using your nails as a built-in pocketknife or biting your nails.
NAILCARE TIPS:
- Keep fingernails dry and clean.This prevents bacteria from growing under your fingernails. Repeated or prolonged contact with water can contribute to split fingernails. Wear cotton-lined rubber gloves when washing dishes, cleaning, or using harsh chemicals.
- Moisturize Moisturize Moisturize! Moisturizing is a well-known secret to healthy skin, but it’s often overlooked in nail care. While dry, brittle nails can be the result of many factors, they’re ultimately a cry for moisture, so consider investing in a good moisturizer, make sure to rub it into the fingernails and cuticles.
- Leave your cuticles alone. It’s common practice to cut, push back, or try to get rid of cuticles altogether, but cuticles are not the enemy. In fact, the cuticle is the nail’s natural protective seal. Messing with your cuticles can do far more harm than good—ev

Historically toners contained alcohol and were used as an astringent to tighten pores and balance the pH of the skin after using an alkaline soap product for cleansing.
Now, as more cleansers tend to be pH balanced and gentle, toners have evolved to a skincare category of their own, the reformulated toners of today go beyond that basic role, they now offer a wealth of benefits and target various skin concerns—from acne, dryness to aging.
Using a toner after cleansing the skin can help close pores and tighten cell gaps, reducing the penetration of impurities and environmental contaminants into the skin. Toners can even protect and remove chlorine and minerals present in tap water.
Some newer formulations are even toner-serum hybrids with more substantial gel or lotion textures. Like the Codage Skin Care Water
Other toners contain pre and probiotics to optimize the functioning of the skins microbiome, like the Perris Skin Fitness Beauty Micellar Water Make-Up Remover a 2-in-1 product that removes make-up and also tones the skin.
Depending on the type of toner other toners come in a spray form and can be used throughout the day, even over make-up. Like the FarmHouse Fresh Vitamin Berry Facial Tonic

Before we start talking about layering, we need to tackle the matter of how scents need to be aligned with the occasion and the time of the day we are wearing it for, just like there is a suitable attire for every occasion or time of the day, so is a fragrance.
- How a Man can layer fragrances to be more attractive to a woman.
If we are aiming for an evening fragrance, then we recommend layering more intense and sensual notes, contrary to the morning one which will be fresher and lighter.
A very important element in layering is the family the fragrances belong to, such as Fresh, Aquatic, Oriental, Aromatic, Oud, and Wood and so on.
The ingredients or notes as we call them of the fragrances are what determine the characteristics of the fragrance, for a day layering that smells attractive and masculine we look for notes such as Bergamot, Guaiac Wood, Musk and Vetiver, these can be mixed with aromatic ingredients like Rosemary, Mint, and Cedarwood.
Fragrances suitable for midday and evening will include notes such as Vetiver, Tobacco, and Oud mixed with creamier notes like Sandalwood, warm Amber, or just deep Woody fragrances.

Many of us adore roses, and when we need to prepare a special gift, adding flowers to it, beautiful roses come to our mind straight away. We can choose from a variety of colours, which are available nowadays. Good quality roses are quite expensive, but they are gorgeous and look like no other flower. The rose flower is iconic, and it earned the name “The Queen of Flowers” not just for its beauty. Rose have much more to offer apart from beauty.
In ancient times, people cultivated roses, these flowers were widely used in perfumery, medicine, and therapeutic treatments. For these purposes the rose essential oil (also called rose attar, rose otto, rose essence and rose absolute) was used. Good quality essential rose oil (attar) is very expensive, so usually, natural rose oil (not synthetic) is used by premium and luxury cosmetic and perfumery brands in their products. Attar of roses has yellow-greenish colour, it is taken from the base of rose petals before the buds even open, and it takes about one and a half tone of petals to produce just one pound of attar…..
