The Tweens News | English

Oily skin is the hardest to take care of, especially when you are prone to breakouts.

Today we are going to share with you how to treat oily skin with a cheap and easy product: cucumber.

Many people don’t know it, but cucumber calms, cleans and gives valuable nutrients to skin.

If you have red skin patches, acne, oily skin or blackheads, cucumber can help.

How? Write down this cucumber wash recipe and use it alongside your regular facial cleansers.

Liquify a cucumber in a blender or food processor along with one glass of non-fat milk. Blend with the peel and all because the peel has the most vitamins. Then, with a cotton ball, apply the mix to your face, especially in problems areas. Let the mix do its magic for 15 minutes and then remove it with warm water.

Always remember that after a treatment such as this you need to wash your face with facial soap and apply your moisturizer.

The Tweens News | English

If you like to always have your nails looking good, we are sure that you feel frustrated when they chip and break.

If you want to know how to get stronger nails, then pay attention to these useful tips. They work!

File your nails: Every week you need to file you nails. Why? Because when you file your nails your body receives the message that it is time to regenerate your nails again. When this happens, the nail comes through stronger and in this way, will last longer.

Don’t use too much polish: At least a couple of days a week go without polish and give your nails time to breathe.

Don’t paint straight on the nail: Before painting your nails, use one coat of clear nail protector first. This will help strengthen your nails and give them needed nutrients.

Oil: Use almond, baby or olive oil on your nails after you have removed polish. You’ll see how healthy this makes your nails!

Get Active Without Doing Exercise!

Sophy Sticated — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 07:01:33 +0000

The Tweens News | English

All of us hate to do exercise, but it is necessary to stay fit and healthy. It is worse when the summer is hot and humid and the last thing we want to do is go for a jog…

But, no matter the season it is important to exercise. Staying fit doesn’t mean spending 3 hours a day at the gym, there are ways to be active in your day to day life and burn calories at the same time.

For example:

Forget the elevator and the escalator. Take the stairs whenever you can to keep your behind looking good.

Stand up. Instead of sitting on the bus or train, stand. You may not realize it, but standing takes more energy then sitting.

Clean up your room, and help around the house. Not only will this please your mother or father, but you will also be burning calories while you work.

Don’t stay home. Meet up with your friends, go for a walk, and get out and see things! Moving around and staying active is the best way to stay fit. If you can, go swimming or go for a long walk.

Play with your brothers and sisters or with your pet. Play is a great way to exercise. Whether you play a game, just mess around, or play fetch with the dog, all of these options are good ways to get moving.

This summer, don’t be a slug. Get off the couch and get moving, you will feel better and look great.

Brain Exercises: Part I!

Sophy Sticated — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 07:03:23 +0000

The Tweens News | English

Just like any muscle in the body that needs to be worked every day to stay in shape, the brain too, needs to be flexed!

But, how do we give our mind a work-out? Well, it is not the kind of exercise that is going to make you sweat. But don’t worry, we are not going to make you do any complicated mathematical problems.

You just need to do the following on a daily basis:

Say good bye to the routine. Routines and doing the same thing day in and day out is boring. Also, once you are used to something the brain has a chance to relax. So, to work the brain change things up. Rearrange the furniture in your room, go to class another way that you don’t normally go, and shop at new stores.

Use your memory. Maybe mobile phones and agendas are useful but they do not help your brain stay agile. Instead, try to remember all your most important phone numbers and addresses.

Right or Left? If you are right-handed then shake things up by eating or writing with your left hand. Do the same thing if you are left-handed. Forcing your brain to train your ‘unexperienced’ hand to do

Why Is It Important To Wear Sunglasses?

Sophy Sticated — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 07:02:15 +0000

The Tweens News | English

Sure, sunglasses look cool, but there are more reasons to wear glasses than to make a fashion statement.

If you are in the sun too long it is not only bad for your skin but bad for your eyes. You have probably been in the street before without your sunglasses on a sunny day and your eyes hurt. This is not good.

You should really spend a bit more to get sunglasses with UV protection. You cannot get these glasses in any old store. You need to get them at an optician. They are more expensive but they will protect your eyes.

Go with your parents when you get them. Probably your parents will have questions and will have to pay for them too. Get something that you like, and that looks good on your face, blending with the shape of your face. Get something that you can wear for a long time, because these glasses have to last. They are a bit expensive, so this is a good opportunity for you to show your parents how responsible you are and how well you can take care of these glasses.

Get The Perfect Lips!

Get lips right out of the movies is not too hard. You just need to follow a couple easy steps and you will have them!

Many girls simply put on lipstick without having exfoliated and moisturized their lips enough, and doing it this way, their lipstick doesn’t last too long.

So first thing is first. You need to exfoliate your lips. Well, just use a toothbrush and run it over your lips. This will remove any dead skin cells.

The moisturize. If you don’t have lip balm then use a drop of olive oil or honey.

After these two steps your lips will look full and juicy! You could leave it there. But if you want, the next step is to put on lipstick or lip gloss to add a bit of color.

For a look even more glam, use lipstick and ten apply some gloss over the color for extra shine.

Decorate Your Nails With A Toothpick!

Wearing the same color nail polish everyday can get old. Today we are going to explain to you how to get a more exclusive manicure.

We have shown you before some cool techniques for decorating your nails. The only bad part about some of these techniques is that they take time to achieve.

For those of us who are a bit less patient, we have another tip for you to get great nails today. You need three things” a toothpick and two polishes of contrasting colors.

So, first thing to do is paint all your nails the same color (red, black, pink, whatever). Let them dry. Then in a dish put a little more polish of a different color. There needs to be contrast, so you could use black as the base color and white as the additional color.

Now. just dip the toothpick in the top color paint and paint designs like circles, or squares or anything easy. You’ll see how cool it looks in no time.

You could also use tape to make lines and stripes over your nails, You simply lay down the tape and then add the polish colors, then remove the tape as you go.

Check out these photos to get some more ideas.

Types Of Perfumes Part II!

We explained the different kinds of perfumes that there are out there. Today we will help you choose the one that most fits you personality.

For girls who are mischievous and sweet, who love pinks and pastels and teddy bears, and love hanging with their friends having fun, a upbeat perfume is right for you! Pick something with citrus (orange or lemon) and floral tones. You might even go with something that smells like candies. You are after summer fragrances.

For girls who can’t sit still, look for something a bit more sporty. Sweet is not you, instead look for a perfume that combines the smell of grass, wet earth, leaves, and apples or wood. Your fragrance is from autumn.

For romantic and day-dreaming girls, look for something that is soft and light, combining the smell of the sea breeze or the fields filled with flowers. Any springtime perfume will be right for you.

Serious and more reserved girls, will want a more winter fragrance. Look for stronger perfumes with touches of incense, spice and cinnamon.
