Eye glasses care

Hi guys,

I use to wear spectacles. Every day when I reach office I bring them out of my bag & wish that I need not to clean them. But everyday I found that dirt is playing cricket on my spectacle glasses. I can see the dirt on my glasses. Sometime I wear them as it is without cleaning them but its not a good practise. It can be harmful for our eyes. So I use to clean them everyday.

Now I went to different opticians & spectacles vendors & everybody give some tips to me to keep my glasses clean. I got so many tips that I got confused which one is good. So I started surfing net to see which is the good way to clean the spectacles. I found one interesting article about it. Here are the important extract of the article which can help you to clean your spectacles:

Step 1- So your spectacles are dirty?
You need to go to the next washing room as you will need some water, preferably warm, a bit of soap and some tissue or toilet paper.

Step 2 - Pre-showering the spectacles
Hold your spectacles under flowing water so the lenses get wet from both sides ! Do not touch the lenses!

Step 3 - Get a bit of soap on your fingers
Liquid soap is perfect, but also any other will do. Right handlers use the right hand and left handlers ?
Get a bit of soap on your index, thumb and middle finger. Disperse the soap a bit on the fingers so the surface gets soft and slippery.
 
Step 4 - soap your pair of spectacles
Now gently take the lenses of your spectacles between the soaped fingers and gently move your fingers to disperse the soap on both sides of the lenses. It is NOT necessary to press and rub like a maniac -- no gently please, because your lenses should NOT be scratched. So once again soap gently,gently.
 
Step 5 - The after-shower - wash off the soap from the lenses
Now if possible turn the heat on to get very hot water also let the water flow strongly. Hold your spectacles into the water stream to wash off the soap. Do not hold the lenses in a 90° angle to the stream of water, because then you will get yourself a shower.
Better the water flows almost parallel to the lens surface. You might shift the angle a bit from one side to the other to wash away the soap from both sides of the lenses. Do not touch the lenses !
 
Step 6 - Finale grosso - using tissue if necessary
If the water has been hot enough it will evaporate immediately after you have removed the glasses from the water stream and you alredady done.
If there are some drops of water still. Take a peace of tissue between those fingers which should be free of soap meantime! Then slightly dab the tissue on the water drops to take them away. Please do not rub the glasses!
 
Step 7 - Enjoy clear sight
Clear sight is not for ever(yone) of course, but it is nice to have it at least for an hour or so !
 
Note: Do not rub or polish your eyeglasses it is unnecessary. At best it will damage your glasses!!
 
Along with this I like to mention about two important tips about our eye glasses:
(1) Never leave your eye glasses in dash board or on dash board of your car. Always try to keep your ey glasses behind front seat. When car get hot dash board area get more hot than other areas. It can damage the screen film of your glasses. This is applicable for all types of glasses including branded.
(2) When you are cleaning your glasses, always clean them in one direction. Do not try left right left right motion or to & from motion while cleaning the glasses. Always move from right to left or left to right while cleaning your glasses. It will help to reduce the scratches on you eye glasses.
 
 
I hope this small post help you guys to maintain your eye glasses in a good shape. Keep reading & enjoy.

Shaving tips for men

Hey guys,
I am back with a big smile. Hope you are doing great. Today morning I shaved my beard & got some irritation after that. So I check the Guru ji (ofcourse http://www.google.com/) to see some good tips for shaving. I found one very good website. I am providing some good tips for shaving the beard. Hope it is useful for all u guys!!


1. It's best to avoid shaving the very first thing in the morning. If possible, let your skin wake up a while. This allows the "puffiness" you encounter from fluids collecting in your skin during the night to recede, thus allowing you to get a closer shave when you do begin the task.
2. Use an exfoliate such as a facial cleanser or scrub to eradicate dead skin cells and open up the pores of the skin to prepare it for a close shave.
3. Stubble should be wetted with warm or hot water before shaving. This swells the hair shaft allowing the blade to cut the hair, not your skin.
4. Thoroughly massage shave cream into stubble. A vitamin and Aloe Vera based shave cream will provide a close soothing shave and protect against razor rashes and burns.
5. Use a sharp blade. A dull blade is responsible for many shaving cuts as it drags over your face and catches your skin along with the hairs of your beard.
6. Rinse the blade often in hot water when shaving and use slow short strokes. Take your time.
7. Shaving with grain means shaving in the direction of how the hair grows on your face. It is always best to shave this way. Shaving against the grain can cause redness, rashes, razor burn and ingrown hairs, which are all painful.
8. After shaving, apply an oil-free moisturizer to soothe and protect the face. If you prefer an after-shave, check the label for alcohol. Dryness and stinging sensations are by-products of most after-shave products whose primary ingredient is alcohol. It may feel good at the time, but alcohol based after-shaves are actually irritating to many complexions.
9. Be wary of mentholated shaving products. Although the "cool" sensation feels good on the face, menthol, like alcohol, can be irritating to the skin.
10. A lot of foam or lather is not needed. Many grocery and drug store shave creams contain skin irritants such as Sodium Laurel Sulfate, which are formulated to "foam up" the product. However, these irritants may be the cause of your skin problem.
