For the best results, use skin moisturizer that contains collagen, which can help plump up and repair your skin. . Exfoliating can help remove dead skin cells to reveal the healthier, younger skin cells that lie beneath and reduce fine lines caused by laughing and smiling. Purchase a skin exfoliant for your skin type. Wet your face with warm water and rub the exfoliant on your face with a washcloth in circular motions. Rinse your face with warm water. There are many different oils you can use to prepare your homemade remedy, but the brown sugar and coconut oil combo is a classic. Mix two tablespoons of brown sugar with two tablespoons of coconut oil and apply it on your face in soft circular motions. After a few minutes, rinse your face with warm water. The exfoliating brown sugar and moisturizing coconut oil will refresh your face, and also help reduce your laugh lines in the long term. Sun damage can cause and worsen existing laugh lines. Apply sunscreen or sunblock to your face on a daily basis, spend more time in the shade, and wear a hat to protect your skin and reduce laugh lines. Aim for a sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher for daily usage, and an SPF of 30 for intense or extended outdoor activities such as beach days or picnics.  You can also use foundations with sunscreen to both protect your skin from the sun and hide your fine lines and wrinkles. While you try to get rid of laugh lines, in the meantime, you can use blurring creams or primer to fill them in and smooth the skin around your mouth and lips. After putting on sunscreen but prior to foundation or powder, place a bit of primer or blurring cream on your finger, and use your finger to gently fill in laugh lines prior to applying the rest of your makeup. Dermal fillers are gels intended to fill the hollow surfaces on skin, including those caused by lines and wrinkles. Some of the safest dermal fillers such as FDA-approved Restylane and Juvederm can help you smooth your laugh lines. Meet with a plastic surgeon to have an injection that often takes 15 minutes to an hour to complete.  Be aware that dermal fillers are only effective for a limited amount of time, one syringe lasting from four to nine months, which might require you to repeat the process periodically. Their cost might be higher than that of other options ($450 to $750 per syringe). In addition to dermal fillers, cosmetic treatments such as anti-wrinkle creams, retinol products, laser treatment, and formulas made with botox can help reduce and eliminate laugh lines and wrinkles. Consult with your healthcare provider about undergoing one or more of these treatments to get rid of laugh lines for an extended period of time.

Use blurring creams or primer to hide laugh lines. Undergo a dermal filler treatment for your laugh lines. Seek skin treatments from your healthcare provider.


INPUT ARTICLE: Article: This recipe makes enough for two people, so split everything equally down the middle. Aloo chat can be served on a plate or in shallow bowls. Dahi, the Indian word for whisked curds, is essentially a thick, plain yogurt sauce. You can purchase dahi at specialty grocery stores, or you can make your own. It’s best to use fresh curds for your aloo chat. Using a spoon, drizzle the curds over the potatoes. To learn how to make your own dahi, follow the instructions here. Drizzle the garlic chutney, green chutney, and sweet chutney over your potatoes, just like you did with the whisked curds, or dahi. It will end up looking like an abstract painting, and that’s what you want. You can add the chutneys in the ratio provided, or you can decide your own ratio based on which chutneys you like most. Dust the potatoes and sauces the cumin seeds powder, chili powder, and masala chana dal. You can find these ingredients at a grocery store. The masala chana dal is also called split bengal gram, which are lentils. Put sev on top of your dish for a delicious crunch. Sev is a crispy, chickpea noodle. Finally, sprinkle with the rest of your finely chopped coriander. Serve your aloo chat while it’s warm!

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The amount should only be about the size of a grain of rice. While you want the primer to cover your eyelid completely, too much primer can completely backfire. It can cause your makeup to pill, clump, appear chalky or shiny. Too little, and your eye makeup won't stay.  This amount of primer should be enough for both eyes. It's always better to start with less product and build layers if you need to instead of starting with too much and trying to wipe it off. Remember: less is more when it comes to primer. It should take about 20 seconds for the primer to absorb and dry. You can then apply your eye makeup as you normally would. Your eyelid should feel like a flat canvas and your shadow should go on smoothly. If it appears cakey or clumpy, you used too much primer and should use a little less next application. Try using the primer on your eyebrows to keep brow powder in place, too.

SUMMARY: Dab a small amount of primer on the back of your hand. Allow the primer to dry before completing your eye makeup.
