Turkish Cosmetic Market

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Global cosmetics market size is estimated to be 300 Billion Euros whereas Turkey cosmetics market size is around 5.5 Billion Euros. Researches state that even during the periods of economic crisis, the demand for cosmetics products do not decrease in fact it continues to increase despite the crisis.

This situation is a valuable indicator to demonstrate the growth potential of the market. Turkey creates a bridge between European companies that have powerful market shares, Asia and Pacific companies that have strong growth rate and Middle East countries that have a high demand for cosmetics and personal care products.

Looking at the developments in the cosmetics sector, especially in the last 10 years Turkish cosmetics market is growing rapidly by nearly %10 annually. Also, Turkish companies continue to extend their product ranges and varieties as well as increase their investments nationally and internationally. There are many factors that can be attributed to the growth of Turkish cosmetics market, primarily due to Turkey becoming a center of attraction for global cosmetics market with huge investments coming in.

One reason is that Turkey being the youngest and 2nd largest population of Europe with 29 age average and 80 million respectively resulting in rapid increase of cosmetics consumption alongside with increased demand for organic and herbal products and increasing number of tourists who come to Istanbul and Mediterranean cities for shopping attracts cosmetics companies worldwide to enter the Turkish market.

Tips and Benefits Of Diamond Facials

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Diamonds are a girl’s best friend! Now, that’s absolutely true. These precious rocks not just rock the jewelry world, but are also the most trending ingredients in the cosmetic universe that can give you a “fab forever” skin. How? That’s what I have discussed right below! Keep reading!

Benefits Of A Diamond Facial

Do not confuse it with Diamond Microdermabrasion (which is a cosmetic procedure using diamonds). I am talking about facial massage gels and creams containing diamond dust. These are the most luxe skincare ranges in the town right now. Most of the major skin care brands have come up with skin care products and facial kits that contain diamond dust. These have a range of benefits to offer.

1. Exfoliates Your Skin

Diamond is an excellent exfoliation agent. It helps in removing dead skin cells and boosts cell regeneration. Moreover, compared to other exfoliants, diamond facials offer a longer exfoliating effect on your skin. This increases the metabolic function of your skin, thus promoting cellular regeneration. And that means radiance that’s not less than the sparkle of a diamond!

2. It Prevents Aging-Related Issues

A facial massage using creams containing diamond dust also stimulates blood circulation in your face. Blood carries all the vital nutrients to your skin. This helps in delaying the onset of fine lines and wrinkles. It also tightens your skin and facial muscles. You can see noticeable changes with regular sessions. This is one of the reasons beauties across the world prefer diamond facial.

3. Treats Other Skin Issues

Have dry skin? Or is your skin tanned? Or do the whiteheads and blackheads refuse to leave your skin? If that is so, a diamond facial is just the thing you need. It helps even out your skin tone and also makes the whiteheads and blackheads disappear.

4. Detoxifies Your Skin

If you are someone who needs to go out on a regular basis, your facial skin takes a regular beating from dust and other environmental pollution. These often accumulate in your skin pores and cannot be just cleared by merely washing your face. A diamond facial cleanses your skin thoroughly, banishing dirt and dust from your pores and making your skin glow.

5. Helps In Controlling Breakouts

Acne, pimples, and any other form of skin breakouts are rooted in your clogged pores. Yes. If the pores are clogged, and sebum cannot flow through them, they turn into zits (mostly an acne or a pimple). A diamond facial keeps the skin clean and the pores unclogged, thus preventing any breakouts.

Make Up Products for Oily Skin

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Here is a very common scenario – every morning, you look at the mirror and see excessive oil oozing from your face. Feeling irritated and frustrated, you clean and mattify your skin to oil-free and pore-less perfection. Unfortunately, by the time you step into your office, you have the same greasy look on your face and perhaps need another dab of face powder. By the midday, it appears like you’ve poured a bottle of oil on yourself.

For most of us with oily skin, the issue is not the lack of face mattifying products in the market– the problem lies in the fact that they never seem to give you the desired result.  The miraculous powder that works wonders on your friend’s face simply vanishes from your T-zone after 2-3 hours. So, what must you do? Stay chained to those age-old powder compacts? With the world developing by leaps and bounds, there’s nothing for you to fret about.

  • Lakme Perfect Radiance Intense Whitening Compact
  • Sheercover Mineral Make-up
  • Revlon Colorstay Mineral Blush
  • Mac Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation
  • Revlon Colorstay Foundation for Oily Skin

Best Care Tips for Dry and Dull Skin

Posted on by Ann Mumbi

Fairness Tips For Dry Skin,Is your dull and dry skin becoming a constraint to a fair and glowing complexion? No, you do not need to burn a hole in your pocket to purchase expensive fairness beauty products for your unattractive skin. All you need to do is to follow a few tips and tricks. Here are the top 10 picks to help you acquire a fairer skin tone.

1. Eat Healthy to Get Healthy Fairness
First of all, you have to follow a healthy diet in order to get a fairer complexion. Dry skin often lacks vital nutrients, which makes it dull, flaky and lifeless. Before trying any readymade or homemade fairness remedy, have a closer look at your eating habits. You should consume loads of fresh green fruits, veggies, cereals, grains, etc. to fulfill your need of carbs, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. There must be enough milk, yogurt, honey and other similar items in your regular diet that are capable of protecting your skin. All these foods will nourish your skin cells, leading to healthy and radiant skin.

2. Water, Water and Water – Drink lots of it
Keeping yourself hydrated is the second most important task that you need to do for obtaining glowing skin. Without sufficient water, the usual process of body metabolism gets extremely affected, which in turn is reflected by our skin’s appearance. Again, as you possess naturally dry skin, the effect gets even doubled in your case. So, drink lots of water throughout the day. A whopping 5 liters is the best. But if it is hard for you, make sure to consume at least 3 to 4 liters a day. It will flush out the toxins from your body and help you maintain a fair and healthy skin tone.

3. Practice Exercise and Yoga Every Day
Surprised? Well, it is true. Both workout and yoga play crucial roles in skin maintenance. It is especially factual in case of dry-skinned beauties. They can improve their inner health with these and get rid of that dull and unattractive skin. So, if you are one among them, start following a robust exercise routine from today. Go for a 30-minute session of brisk walking or strenuous activities followed by a yoga session. It would keep you internally healthy and reduce your stress levels to a great extent. As a result, your skin will glow like never before.
