Indian Bindi, Dessert, Skin Care, Jewelry - Beauty of Forehead

Add a zero to figure one and its value will increase ten times. Likewise, place a bindi (dot) on your forehead after makeup and the charm of the face will enhance ten times. Bindi (also called bindiya) is a symbol, not only of beauty but of your Suhag too - an indication of a married woman. A married Hindu woman uses various symbols - sindur, bangles, mangal sutra, bichhuye on the toes and alta on feet. Likewise, bindi is a symbol of good luck and purity. It has found its way in folk literature, poetry, sculpture and other forms of arts and literature.
In ancient times bhasm (sacred ashes) or chandan (sandalwood paste) were used on forehead by men. Women decorated the forehead with a red dot symbolic of good luck like the rising sun. They used materials varying from roli, kumkum, sindur. Today, bindis are available in different colours to match your makeup and dress. Although, traditionally only a round dot is permissible, these days the bindis are available in many shapes, some of them being religious symbols like trident (trishul), conch (shankh), star (tara), lamp (deepak) and so on. Today even unmarried women use bindi.

The Colour and Shape of your Bindi Jewelry

If bindi matches your dress in colours, the entire dressing-up acquires a typical beauty. The colour of your dress and the shape of your face should determine the shape, size and colour of the bindi you choose. Some popular unique designs available are - round, long, oblong, triangular, crescent moon, a round bindi with small dots surrounding it, etc. You are the best judge to decide what suits you. For middle-aged women it is advisable to use deep colours which lend gravity and soberness to their personality. In summers, light-tinged bindi looks pleasant. In winters and at night bright colours appear prominent.
Some tips for choosing your Bindi
. A small forehead appears large with an oblong bindi.
. A broad forehead looks good with a round bindi.
. On a fair complexion, red looks striking.
. On dark complexion pink, orange or sandal wood colour appears prominent.
. Wheatish complexion requires a light red bindi.
. If the skin is very dark, do not use red, steel grey or chocolate colours.
. For large eyes, big bindi is suitable, for small eyes a small bindi.
Height and shape of body are also determining factors.
. A tall woman should use round shaped bindi
. A a short woman should put on longish shaped bindi.
. If you have a broad forehead, place bindi in the middle, but if you have a narrow forehead put it between eyebrows.

Bindi can be in liquid or cream form. Powder bindi is difficult to use and requires cream or vaseline as base. Glass, lac or plastic bindis can be stuck with a little spit. Some women make it a point to match their bindi with their dress, irrespective of the fact whether they are going to a wedding, a festival, or a party. But, this is an erroneous attitude. Because instead of heightening their beauty, a wrong decision can make you ridiculous and uncultured. So, you have to be choosy and wise in your choice of bindi. A bindi is much more than a mere dot on the forehead. It can make or damage your charm.

It is easier to look after ourselves when we are at home than when we are traveling. In our home we have a set routine and we can attend to our daily makeup and other personal duties with an continuous regularity. But one cannot be always stationary. We may not be regular travelers, but even then, we have to travel occasionally - may be on duty or for a visit to a relative or just for a pleasure trip. The routine changes and so do environment, food and climate. These changes effect the skin and looks. A beauty conscious woman needs to be alert. She should not be inactive in the maintenance of her beauty.

It is, therefore necessary to pack the required items in your makeup travel bag before leaving home. You cannot carry all your cosmetics. Make a choice. Keep the non-liquid items in a plastic bag or box. Close the lid well of liquid cosmetics items. Pack all the things well in your vanity bag. Do not forget to carry with you your brand of talcum powder and soap. Likewise, pack your hair-oil, comb and hair brush. Your traveling companions are - a small pair of scissors, nail-cutter, filer and scrubber. Regular bathing is a must while traveling. The most worked and worn out parts of our body during travels are our feet. Attend to them well and keep them clean. Massage the soles of your feet with oil. It relieves tiredness. Keep your finger and toe nails clean and well-trimmed. Use deep-cleansing milk or face cleansers every night before retiring. Apply hand lotion on hands and the exposed parts of your body.If you are expecting to be out in the sun next day, better use a lacto-calamine lotion on your face.

Bridal Beauty prior to Wedding

Every woman wants to look beautiful on her wedding day. She would, however, be disappointed if she were to depend on cosmetics to bring sudden changes in her. Cosmetics may, at best, hide a few defects but they do not have the capacity to change your looks. It is, therefore, important that you look after yourself at least two months prior to the wedding day. Facial once a week will clear the complexion within two months. If in your town you do not have the facility of a beautician, use homemade facial masks. But, do not forget to put cotton wool swabs soaked in rose water on your eyes.

Do a Facial Massage with face cleansers or deep-cleansing milk lightly at night before going to bed. Regular massage gives natural glow to the skin, because massaging helps in proper blood circulation which in turn, makes the skin soft, healthy and attractive. After deep cleansing, apply nourishing cream and massage lightly a little. In morning, sprinkle icy-cold water from the fridge. Do not use soap if the skin is dry. It will crack and leave white patches. Instead, use moisturizer. If the skin is oily, make a paste with oat flour, add lemon juice and rub well. It will prevent pimples.
One month before wedding stop all makeup. But, if you cannot avoid it sometimes, then clean it off soon. Moreover, stop eating fried food. Drink honey-mixed lemon water first of all in the morning before taking any other drink.
Beautiful hands symbolize a good character. For the beauty of hands remember three things-skin should be soft, fingers should have a beautiful shape, and nails should be welltrimmed. So, stop household works, like cleaning utensils, washing clothes, brooming. Or if you must, then use rubber gloves. Massage fingers with cold cream or cuticle cream at night. After kitchen work, dip fingers in soap water.

Home Remedy for Soft Hands

Take ,a spoonful sugar and juice of a lemon on your palm and rub them together with your palms till sugar melts. Honey can replace sugar, if available. It is more effective. This should be done daily for a month before wedding.
It is essential that you are ready with all the required items of makeup two days before wedding so that you remain free of tension. Go to bed early to avoid mental tension. In fact, mental peace enhances natural beauty. If you find it difficult to have a sound sleep, drink a glass of hot milk.
