Most of us have been unlucky enough to be afflicted by acne at some stage of our lives. Some of us are still affected by acne, even in adulthood. What are some of the best acne treatments? Below, we take a quick look at two of the best over-the-counter acne treatment options.

1. Salicylic acid products. Salicylic acid works by removing the top layers of dead skin cells. This helps the skin to renew itself quickly, and helps reduce the chance for pore blockage and a second acne breakout. By far the most popular Salicylic acid product is Proactiv Solution which is sold by Guthy Renker.
2. Benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide destroys acne causing bacteria that’s located deep within the pores. It is undoubtedly one of the more common acne treatment options.

How to get sexy eyes? if you’re asking yourself this, you’ve probably realized already that your eyes are the most expressive features of your face. A lot hinges on how beautiful and sexy your eyes look, so lets take a look at how you can try to get these ‘sexy eyes’ if you don’t already have that natural look.

Relax – Try to relax the eyes and its surrounding muscles as much as possible. Rested eyes are beautiful eyes.

Dry Amla – Soak 1 teaspoon of dry amla in a cup of water overnight. In the morning, strain it through a muslin cloth and then add one extra cup of water. Splash your eyes with this solution, it will help to make your eyes sparkle.
Dark circles? Fix them by putting just two slices of potato over your eyes for 20 minutes. You can also try applying warm tea bags over your eyes for 15 minutes.

Curl your lashes – Always curl your eyelashes before applying mascara; this helps to frame the eyes, making them looker larger and lighter.

Use mascara – on both your top and bottom lashes.

Your eyebrows – beautifully shaped, full brows with a high arc can do wonders for the overall look of your eyes. If you can’t fix them yourself, it’s definitely worth a trip to your spa or beauty salon.

Eyelid foundation – a layer of foundation on your eyelids will help to smooth out any imperfections, and help your eye shadow and eye liner look their best.

Color Themes – always try to choose an overall color theme, maintaining color harmony that looks best for your skin tone, eyes, lips and other features.

Not overly prominent – Your eyes can seem a bit too prominent. If this is so, apply medium shadow and don´t use highlights. This will help to make them appear deeper-set.

Smokey eyes - this style of makeup has made a dramatic comeback and helps to create a refined and mysterious image. The key to smokey eyes is to blend colors properly. Avoid blue hues, choose black, gray, brown or dark green shadows and use liners instead.

There’s a new, limited edition spring makeup collection called LUCI (Luminescent Colourless Colour Intelligence). The properties of light, colour and beauty and how they may intertwine, are the premise behind the design of this new makeup collection.

Although the color of pure natural sunlight is technically considered to be white, within it there are both cool and warm color rays, as you can see in rainbows, and/or when light rays are refracted through prisms. Bringing such light to the face via makeup translates into a range of eye and lip products that are divided into warm and cool tones. They may appear brightly colored in the container, but are tempered by translucent and pearlescent finishes.

In creating the LUCI collection, four key colors were used – warm apricot, pink, cool mauve and green. A pigment-free, opalescent white is another important component of the line and is the secondary shade in the line’s three eye shadow compact duos, as well as in a loose face powder called Photonic illuminating powder.

The colours generally appear pastel and iridescent on pale skin tones, and may appear more vibrant on darker skin tones.

According to news reports, British singer Amy Winehouse, will soon launch her own range of clothes and makeup. The range will include hairspray, but the key item will be the heavy liquid eyeliner she has made so famous with her somewhat quirky style.

Here are some easy-to-follow eye makeup techniques:

Never overdo – Too much eye makeup overwhelms the eyes and makes them appear smaller.

Awaken your eyes – Awaken your eyes instantly by dabbing a shimmery shadow in white or beige in the corner of the eye at the tear duct. The eyes will definitely look more awake.

No no red eyes – Allergies, late nights or crying can cause red, swollen eyes. Aside from using eye drops, you can make the whites of your eyes brighter and whiter, by using a warm nude eye pencil to outline the lower inner rim of the eye.

Yes yes bigger eyes – Use an eyeliner in dark brown to trace a line along the lid where the lashes grow out of the eye. Running the liner in between the lashes helps to thicken the root of the lash, and helps give the appearance of bigger eyes.

Purple is in – A purple eye shadow with iridescent blue undertones will provide a shimmery accent to eye lids for a daytime look. A deep, dark purple can be smoked out with charcoal or black eyeliner and finished off with thick mascara for a sexy evening look.
