Jewel Care

> Store pieces separately in jewellery boxes or chamois bags so they don't get scratched by other items of jewellery.
> Clean platinum in the same way you clean other fine jewellery - using prepackaged jewellery cleaner or by soaking it in a mild solution of soap and warm water, then gently rubbing it with a soft cloth.
> Have your platinum jewellary professionally cleaned once in a while. For platinum jewellery set with gemstones, be sure to do this every six months.
> Don't handle bleach or harsh chemicals when wearing platinum jewellery. Although they won't hurt the platinum, chemicals may discolour diamonds or gemstones.

Beauty Secrets

I have small eyes and dark circles. How can I make my eyes look big?
- Preeti Srivastava, Muzaffarpur

Use a concealer on your dark circles. It should be one shade lighter than the colour of your dark circles. Also, use a little concealer on your eyelids. Use a streak of a light-coloured eyes shadow on your lids. Colours like gold and beige should be goiod. Apply eyeliner close to the root of your eyelids. This will define youyr eyes. Last but not the least. Use loads of mascara to open your eyes up.

Whats Ur Skin Types

Everybody is born with a different skin type. So before getting into skin care, check out your skin type and the kind of care it requires.
Normal skin is soft and velvety in texture, with a perfect pH balance and this type of skin needs the latest taking care of.

Oily skin is extremely sensitive and needs to be taken care of. Oily skin is more prone to problems like acne and pimples, and it open pores too, which give it a coarse and thick appearance.

Dry skin develops patches and is flaky in appearance, making the skin look old and tired.

For every kind of skin, the skin care regimen has to differ, but pure and natural ingredients is what unifies the skin care routine for all types of skin.

Just For Keeps

> Velvet attracts a lot of dust so retain the plastic cover it comes in. Brush off the dust with a nylon bristle brush.
> Be careful while travelling or storing embroidered velvet in your cupboard, as folding it can cause the embroidery to leave an impression on the material.

> Place butter paper between the folds of the garment while travelling. And when it's in your cupboard, just hang it up and don't fold it.

> Dry cleaning is a must with this fabric and one should never try to machine-wash it.

> Air it once in two weeks so as to avoid fungus.
