Here are some of the tips and tricks to applying bronzer. Things to Do while Applying Bronzer Always choose the right shade – It can be easy to buy the wrong makeup bronzer online.

How to Keep your Hands Moisturized All Day?

Hands tend to get dry very easily, especially when it's winter or when you have to wash your hands too much. Hands are constantly exposed to brutal outdoors, and they are also used frequently among all the body organs. Some of us may keep applying lotion after washing hands, but even that doesn’t seem enough. Here are some small tips that can help you keep your hands moisturised all day.

Warm water is much gentler on your skin than cold water. Keep a personal towel to wipe out your hands dry after washing up. Hands shoul...
