Rosacea is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder. Its symptoms vary in people: from redness, flushing (blushing) to visible large blood vessels, red acne-like bumps, and thicker skin around the nose.

Rosh HaShanah, the first day of Tishrei, coincides with the sixth day of Creation and marks the anniversary of mankind, when Hashem created Adam and Chavah. It’s also the beginning of the new lunar calendar year, which begins this Monday evening at sundown.

Summer’s heat and humidity can wreak havoc on your makeup, causing it to melt, smudge, and feel greasy. Fortunately, there are formulas designed to help you maintain flawless skin throughout the day. The following options will help you decide what works best while taking into account your skin type and personal preferences.

Skin loses luster as we get older; therefore, women tend to wear makeup to maintain that youthful glow. Luckily, adding a bit of mascara and a vibrant pop of color to the cheeks can instantly turn back the clock a few years.  However, many may not be aware of the common mistakes that actually leave you looking older. The following techniques can help you appear younger. Proper blush application is definitely high on the priority list. 

Is your skin dry, itchy, red, or flaky? You may have dehydrated skin, which generally crops up when the temperature drops. In addition, you may develop a rash or skin irritation. If you’re already dealing with a skin condition such as eczema, rosacea, psoriasis, or hives, you may easily experience flare ups during extremely cold weather.  Also, as you age, your skin produces less oil, which may require more hydration.   

Eyeliner for Hooded Eyes

A hooded eye can overpower the lid.  You therefore need to try something bold. A classic cat eye or winged eyeliner will work well. The trick is to apply it thicker, so it’s visible. A long-lasting liquid eyeliner is effective with this type of eye, and won’t wind up migrating where you don’t want it.
