3 Cross Dressing Tips to Avoid Looking Like a Dude in a Dress

When it comes to cross dressing you can either do a great job at it, or do it horribly; there's really no in between. A man cannot be made to look like a woman with half measures. He has to do a great job at it. The problem is that most guys don't do that. In fact, most crossdressers look awful, like a dude in a dress. And they're not even aware that people are sniggering behind their backs. 

To avoid going through the same ordeal, make sure you've got the following things covered:

Cross dressing tips on how to cross dress

1. Cross dressing make up is essential. You really can't neglect using it. However, there's a good way and a bad way to do this. The good way is to put on enough make up to cover what needs to be covered but not overdoing it and looking as if someone sprayed you with paint. Too much make up looks bad on a natural woman and will attract attention to your masculinity instead of hiding it.

2. Cross dressing shoes - The main thing about shoes is that they have to allow you to walk like a woman comfortably. Don't wear stilletos if you don't know how to walk straight in them. Comfort comes first and being fashionable last. You need to feel comfortable in what you wear, and shoes are the item which may give you the most trouble.

3. Another of my cross dressing tips involves one of the biggest mistakes people make when it comes to hiding their bulge. They try on clothes, make sure they fit, but they check the bulge only when they're standing straight. You have to check it when you're sitting down as well because clothes move around when you move around. Do that to avoid embarrassment.

Tips for lovely hands

Here are some few tips to keep hands clean and safe.

Taking care of hands is must and is important in our daily lives.

Here are some few tips to keep hands clean and safe

■ Always use gloves for washing clothes and utensils. Soak hands in a bowl of warm water to which 1 tsp of cornstarch has been added for 5 minutes daily after finishing the household chores.

■ Massage hands once a week with olive oil and a little table salt added to it.

■ Remove ingrained dirt from hands with a 10-minute massage of sugar and butter.



■ Glycerin, rose water and lemon juice rubbed on the hands every night during winter months keep them soft and prevent ugly cracks forming.

■ To remove stains from hands rub with a slice of lemon or a raw potato. For nicotine stains, apply lemon juice and leave for 10 minutes before washing.

■ To keep hands clean and soft, soak 250 g oatmeal in 11-12 cups water and leave overnight. Strain it through a thin muslin cloth the next morning and add 1 tsp lemon juice and 1 tsp each of olive oil, rose water, glycerin and diluted ammonia. Store in bottle and apply on hands 3-4 times daily.





■ Keep knees smooth by rubbing them occasionally with fresh limejuice or massage with a nourishing cream.

■ Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rough skin while the oil seals the moisture.

■ Take 1/2-cup warm milk, 2 tsp sugar, 2 tsp plain yogurt and a few drops of lavender essential oil. Soak your hands/fingers in this mixture for about 5 minutes Then do a scrub, nail/cuticle care, massage and polish.

■ For rough palms, use a mixture of glycerin and limejuice in equal proportion.

Things We Do To Damage Our Skin

So, you think you lead a healthy lifestyle, eat the right stuff, exercise adequately and look after your skin. Stop and take a closer look. Are you doing things that could inadvertently damage your skin? These silent killers may be the reason your appearance is lacklustre despite your best efforts.


1. Not drinking enough water
This is perhaps the most repeated advice and the least followed. Your body needs at least two litres a day to remove toxins from your system, partly through your kidneys and partly through your skin. Lacking this, toxin build-up will affect your skin as well as your general health, making you tired and dull. Keep that bottle on your desk, and drink!

2. Picking your pimples
We do it unconsciously, when nervous, or just as a habit. Pimples don't harm your face permanently. What leaves untreatable scars is your picking, pinching and playing with them -- scars so deep that even dermatologist cannot get rid of them 100 per cent. Prevention is the best cure, so stop touching your face and start proper anti-acne treatment.

3. Shaving the wrong way
And it isn't just men I'm talking to. Women who use razors for body hair also beware -- shaving against the direction of hair growth (ie from below upwards) causes ingrown hair, damaged follicles and introduces infections into your hair roots that can cause painful recurrent boils. Shave only in the direction of hair growth -- this will prevent damage to your skin.

4. Not using sunscreen on a hill station
You've gone for a high altitude vacation and the cold weather makes you believe you don't need sun protection -- wrong! At higher altitudes, there are lesser layers of atmosphere between you and the sun to filter UV rays, so your ultra-violet exposure increases. You need your sunscreen all the more!

5. Taking hormone supplements for body building
It isn't just the men, even women who want a 'toned' look quickly take DHEA (DeHydroEpiAndroste rone) supplements. These are known to cause acne even in normal skin, and flare up existing acne. Protein supplements are fine though, and actually help your skin.

6. Not reapplying moisture / sunscreen
Are you the jet setting type who slaps on lotion in the morning and then spends the next two hours at work without a further thought about your skin? Air conditioned offices sap moisture from your skin in a couple of hours. Also, no sunscreen retains its effect beyond two hours. Apply frequently -- at least during your lunch break, after a quick face wash.

7. Waxing your upper lip / facial hair
A total nightmare for your delicate facial skin -- the trauma causes tiny microscopic bleeding into your hair follicles that, over time, heal with scarring and end up causing roughness and pigmentation that is extremely hard to treat.

8. Going on a 'proteins only' diet
Fad diets deprive your skin (and body) of essential nutrients. You need vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and various micronutrients that a single food diet cannot give you. Talk to a professional dietician before embarking on drastic diet plans and get them to prescribe the appropriate nutritional supplements.

9. Late night partying
Your body sleeps at night, but your skin doesn't -- most of its repair and renewal work is done while you're in bed. Depriving it of the nightly eight hours of rejuvenation will obviously leave it looking dull and tired. Good sleep is a must for good skin!

10. Stressing out
Stress shows up after years on your heart and blood pressure, but almost immediately on your skin. So listen to your skin when it is trying to tell you something -- patchy complexion, blemishes, dullness, itchy redness, rashes appearing at periods of high stress, acne flare-ups -- all point to unwarranted high stress levels. Try yoga, meditation, exercise, or whatever your best stress buster is.
