Keep your make-up tools clean.

You suffer from various skin problems and with every new problem you tend to change your creams one after the other thinking it to be the cause of the problem. You fail to realize that it might be due to the unclean make up equipment that you use to apply your make-up. Hygiene is very important to be maintained as far your makeup is concerned. The various brushes and sponges that you use for daily application of make-up can get deposited with dust and bacteria which is transferred onto your face whenever you apply make-up using these unclean applicators. Sponges because of its absorbent property suck in a lot of colors as it the most applied tool for merging the makeup well on your face. The sponge, therefore, should be cleaned regularly and if possible it should be disposed off after a few applications. Cleaning of the sponges is not even difficult; you can clean it just like you clean your clothes with a liquid washing soap to remove all that deposited powder.
Your brushes should also be cleaned regularly, if it is not possible to clean them every day, then at least once a week they should be thoroughly washed with a solution of mild shampoo, water and alcohol. After cleaning properly, rinse them under warm water.
That eye lash curler that you use on your eye lashes, anyone hardly bothers to clean it. However, you must do it as when you curl your eye lashes using it, it gets spotter by mascara and if you don’t clean it, your instrument may get corroded. It does not even take long to clean, just remove it with a good make up remover and wipe it dry after cleaning with a sanitizer.
When you reuse your tools after cleaning make sure these are well dried. Also the kit that you store your entire make –up in maybe a favorite but you pay little notice towards its cleanliness. Also no matter how much you like your bag, change it every year.
So keep your tools clean for an even better effect of the make-up that you apply and also ensure that your skin remains healthy

Singapore completes 40 glorious years in India! Face to Face with Chai Woo Foo, General Manager Singapore Airlines India.

Ques: With a continuing need to cut costs, how can your employees help reduce costs and save money for their airline? What type of employee initiatives do you have or are you considering implementing to help control costs?

Foo: Our employees showed their dedication to the SIA Group through the downturn, which, coupled with the loyalty of our customers, helped us come through the testing period stronger than ever. The support of our staff and the sacrifices each employee made were crucial to the group. Measures to cope with the surplus of personnel arising from capacity cuts included unpaid leave and shorter work-month schemes, in addition to salary cuts in accordance with the terms of our Union agreements. Everyone pulled together, highlighting the tight working relationship between manage¬ment and staff. We 'were nimble and flexible* - as a result, enabling timely decisions and the quick implementation of measures to address the situation at hand.

Ques: What is the inventiveness that Singapore Airlines has taken to conserve the
world's environment from global warming?

Foo: Singapore Airlines has a long term commitment to preserving and protecting the environment. We recently announced the donation of US$3 million in our first major involvement in a large-scale green project with long-term, sustainable benefits for the global environment. Funds donated by the airline will go towards supporting the Harapan Rainforest Initiative, a unique collaboration between international Non-Governmental Organizations including BirdLife International and Burung Indonesia (BirdLife Partner in Indonesia).
In another move towards more environmentally-friendly operations, with the ultimate aim of a paperless cabin, Singapore Airlines will progressively introduce an electronic version of magazines on its award-winning KrisWorld inflight entertainment system. As a first step, the airline will offer in electronic format its three inflight magazines - SUverKris. KrisShop and KrisWorld

Ques: Where do you see SIA in live years? What positions the airline for long-term success?

Foo: Over the 40 glorious years, we have spent in India, we have been able to create differentiated experiences to ensure that the travel experience for our customers is more than desirable and we will continue to uphold that commitment. Product development and progression for premium cabins will continue to evolve more rapidly in the future, necessitating more focus to ensure our product offerings remain relevant and competitive, and more consistent across our fleet. We recognize the need to stay ahead in innovation and to cater to the growing and more varied needs of our customers. Our local Indian heritage reflects well in the customizations we do for the Indian traveler be it the various value promotions we introduce or even the food on board.
