Saree makes a woman look graceful, elegant, stylish, and sensuous. But sarees should be
draped properly. Here are some tips on how to buy a saree, which suits your personality.
Women who are a bit heavier should buy saris, which are light like georgette, silk chignon or
chiffon. For the gorgeous option they can try heavy Mysore silk sarees or silk based Kanjeevaram,
which looks beautiful and one tends to look slimmer.
For shorter women they should buy saris with small borders or no borders. They should definitely
avoid big borders as big borders make one look shorter. Big border are mainly for women who have
a good height. For short woman they can go for self or single color it will make them look taller.
Thin women should buy saris, which are a bit fluffy like organza, cotton fabric, tissue and tussar
saris. These saris give a fuller effect and give a broad look.
Avoid large prints in sarees, as it gives a gaudy and a huge look. Delicate and sober print on a
sari gives a delicate and stylish look.
Dark skin color women should generally buy dark colors like maroon, green, dark pink and avoid
light colors and bright colors.
To keep your skin fresh and moisturized use a good oil or water based moisturizer to your skin
at least 3 to 4 times daily depending on your skin type. During summer you can use a sunscreen
lotion to protect your skin from the harmful ultra violet rays and during winter use winter care
lotion or moisturizer. And instead of washing your face with soap you can use face washes, which
are moisturizer based and does not contains strong chemicals. Soaps make your skin look more dry
and dull. Before going to bed, use a good cream-based cleanser to remove the make-up. Then wash
with a face wash then apply a light cream or a moisturizer. During summer avoid oily cosmetics,
as these will make you sweat more. Wash your face frequently with a face wash or clean it with a
cleanser. This will avoid blocking of the skin pores and hence prevent acne and other related
problems. Use of eau de cologne in the bath water, deodorants and perfumes help to a great extent
to keep fresh all the time. Use a nice talcum powder with a good fragrance for the more sweaty
areas.
Saris can be really elegant and stylish if worn properly and with right accessories.
