Natural facial care

Have you ever thought about what your skin does for you and how important it is to your health? Taking care of your skin and the skin care products you put on your skin can have a major effect on your health. Your skin is a reflection of your overall general health. Many factors such as lack of sleep, hormonal swings, stress, poor diet, illness, and age can contribute to the condition and health of your skin. It can reveal your bad habits, such as smoking and excess sun exposure, even alcohol will dehydrate your skin and interfere with the body's circulation.
Skin care is about prevention not just treating ailments as they arise. The close relationship between the skin and the body has often been overlooked or forgotten because the skin has always been looked at as a separate entity. The condition of the skin is governed by many internal body functions and is the primary line of defense against disease and infection from the outside world. More has been discovered about the way the skin functions, its components and structure. There are many different functions of the skin. If the skin isn't functioning properly it can effect your overall health.
Skin Care Functions Include:
# Protecting the body against injury, heat, and light radiation
# Protecting us from the invasion of microbes and microorganisms
# Acting as a temperature regulator, enabling the body to adapt to temperature by regulating moisture loss
Natural skin care products have become important to the skins many functions. Natural products such as body butters and foot balms protect the skin from moisture loss and help to nourish the skin. Feeding the skin natural vitamins and minerals can keep your skin strong and healthy. Staying away from potentially harmful synthetic ingredients and going with natural skin care products with natural ingredients will help the skin stay healthy and vibrant.

Side Effects of Breast Enhancement Surgery

A large pair of breasts is a source of increased confidence in women. Men too love women who have appreciable breast size. That is why women with smaller breast size look out for options to increase their breast size; there are many options available for them including surgery, breast enhancement pumps, natural medicines and exercises. In this article let us find out which methods are best for your body as well as for your pocket.
Breast Enhancement Surgery
This is the most easiest way of having a large size of breasts but there are a lot of complications associated with it. First of all getting breast implants will cost you thousands of dollars and then there are side effects like problem in breast feeding, and in some cases women have experienced loss of sensation in their nipples and the surrounding area and yes implants are not permanent and not usually you will have to get the surgery done again after a certain time period. So looking at all these things it is advisable to opt for more natural methods than to go under the knife.
Alternative Methods
Aside from surgery there are also other methods which can help increase your breast size. Herbs like fenugreek and flax seeds are two very effective natural foods for increasing breast size. Increasing intake of fresh fruits and vegetables particularly green vegetables will also help in enhancing the breasts. Also doing lite exercises like push ups and dumb bell flies will help strengthen your breast muscles and in the process improving the overall look of your breasts and your overall personality.
Best Method
The best way to increase size of breasts is combining the intake of herbs, eating healthy foods and doing exercises regularly. If you follow this regime in your daily life not only will your breast size increase but your overall health will increase and people will start to appreciate your newly found healthy frame.
Finally what I personally feel is that it's not about having big breasts or small breasts, it's all about having a noble soul and people will automatically start to appreciate you. In natural medicine it is said that the purification of the body starts from the soul and it starts to reflect on your body. Be healthy.

Your Guide to Perfect Skin

What spirit is so empty and blind, that it cannot recognize the fact that the foot is more noble than the shoe, and skin more beautiful that the garment with which it is clothed?" -- Buonarroti Michelangelo
5 Dos and 5 Don’ts to Help Slow the Aging Skin Process
Maybe you're in your 20s or early 30s and you think you can't possibly have (gulp) aging skin yet. Well, you're wrong. Your skin's 'youthfulness' has less to do with age than how it's been , so if exposed to sun, smoke and stress, your skin will start ‘acting old,’ losing collagen, glow and elasticity. Lines will develop and pores can seem more pronounced. It's easier to prevent damage than to repair it but the good news is you CAN reverse skin damage.
Here are 5 dos and 5 don’ts to help slow down and reverse the aging process and leave your skin glowing at any age.
* Do stop smoking. Ever notice the skin of a lifelong smoker? It can appear wrinkly like a squashed paper bag. The fact is, smoking is the 2nd biggest cause of skin damage after sun exposure. Why? Nicotine constricts blood vessels and decreases the flow of oxygen to the skin. Not good things.
* Do use an AHA or BHA (also known as retinols) every day. A daily application of a one percent prescription retinoid lotion (such as Retin-A or even better, Tazorac) can erase years from your face. AHAs used properly not only take off lots of dead skin, but can seem to take 10 years off as well by reducing fine lines. (Keep in mind these products do NOT shrink pores. Your pore size is completely hereditary, so don't believe promises of permanent reduction). Over-the-counter options such as RoC Deep Wrinkle Night Cream (see compare link below to buy) are good, but prescription creams work the best. Extra tip: You must stay out of the sun if you use retinoids. You are extra-susceptible to sunburns.

Know Your Skin Type, What are Different Skin Types

Know Your Skin Type, What are Different Skin Types
DRY SKIN
tight after being cleansed, looks dry and flaky in places, hardly breakouts, very small pores.
Dry Skins are lacking in sebum, the skin's natural lubricant, and also lack the ability to retain moisture. Avoid using soap on your face and opt instead for a creamy cleanser wtice a day. Moisturizer is a must.
NORMAL SKIN
Smooth and clean after being cleansed, looks smooth and fresh, occassional breakouts, small to medium pores.
Normal skin is perfectly balanced with a healthy glow, fine texture, small pores, and rarely develops spots or shiny areas. With normal skin you can help maintain the natural balance of oil and moisture levels by using a gentle cleanser and oil-free moisturizer.
SENSITIVE SKIN
Dry and itchy in places after being cleansed, looks flaky with some redness, breaks out quite often, medium pores.
Sensitive skin can flare up at times of stress or as a reaction to harsh cosmetic prodcuts. Use products that are allergy and hypoallergenic tested with no irritants like alcohol and fragrances. Test new products on a patch of skin before using them on your face.
OILY SKIN
Slightly oily after being cleansed, looks shiny and oily, breaks out often, quite large pores (especially around the T-zone)
Oily skin have a tendency to breakout, but they can be thankful for one thing- their skin will age well as its always well hydrated. To keep oily skin clear, wash the skin twice a day with a gentle cleanse, use a oil-free moisturizer and consider a shine-control product to use under make-up.
COMBINATION SKIN
Dry in some places and smooth in other places after being cleansed, looks shiny in the T-zone, breaks out often in the T-zone, medium size pores in the T-zone
Girls with combination skin have oily areas around the nose, chin and forehead (T-zone) and dry patches on the cheeks. Massage a gente, soap free cleanser into the oily areas and smooth gently over the rest of the face before rinsing. Use a tiny amount of oil free moisturizer on the T-zone area and more on the dry areas.

Skin Care Advice

Tip of the Week: Proper skin care is very important! in achieving a beautiful makeup look. Start by cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin. This allows a nice palette with which you can then apply makeup. You´ll feel better about yourself too. It´s all about personal hygiene. Make sure to use products that are alcohol free!
Alpha hydroxy acids are naturally occurring, non-toxic substances that enable older or damaged skin to rejuvenate and resemble younger looking skin. Lucky for us, they’re found in edible fruits and vegetables, but if you’ve been around a while and especially if you’ve been a sunworshiper, you might benefit from an AHA product applied regularly. A good AHA product rejuvenates and helps form new skin. AHAs work well combined with Retin-A to prevent precancerous skin lesions. This combination will also reverse brown sun spots, fine lines and wrinkles — common changes associated with aging. The most common alpha hydroxy acid used for treatment of serious skin problems such as acne are lactic acid and glycolic acid. AHAs, alone or with other substances, can stimulate the natural process of exuviation–a fancy word that means older (or damaged) skin rejuvenates and becomes younger and healthier-looking.
——————————
1. A moisturizer is a daytime product. It usually has a sunscreen and serves as surface protection for your skin from pollution. It also gives a nice slip so you can easily apply foundation. A night time product is meant to nourish the skin and penetrate. Your skin cells rejuvenate at night and so moisture must be replaced while you are sleeping. So catch a few winks and dream about how beautiful your skin will look in the morning because you used a night cream.

3. Most women would like to know their skin type. Is it determined by heredity or life style? I would say both. Since your genes determine your hair color and eye color, so too your skin type. Hormones play a big part in the equation. Adolescents know too well that acne and puberty go hand in hand. A maturing person will generally have a drier skin due to the slowing down of the production of oils by the sebaceous glands. As for your lifestyle affecting your skin, there is a correlation between diet, sleep, alcohol, exercise and how your skin looks and feels. Be sure to drink plenty of water to flush impurities out of your skin and body.
——————————
4. Cleansing the skin is on the top of my list for proper skin care. If you don´t keep the skin clear of make-up and debris (pollution) you can´t have a smooth looking complexion. Be sure to wash with a mild cleanser in the morning and in the evening. Before bedtime it is important to remove makeup from the day. In the morning you have residue from night cream or just oil and perspiration. Always follow with toner recommended for your skin type.
——————————
5. If you want to make a herbal facial steam, find sweet smelling flowers and put them into an open bag to dry for 3 days. Then let them dry in the sun for 2-3 hours. Finally arange them in a(plastic-ziplock) bag and put them in the middle of a heavy book, pressing down. Add more heavy books, and after a week, pull the petals off the flowers and put them in a pan and add water. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to low. Put your head over the pot and drape a towel over you, enclosing the pan. Follow with a splash of cool water. This will also give you a rosy glow! Or take a warm bath and add Colosé Massage Oil with Aromatic Herbs, much easier and quicker!.
——————————
6. Most women are unsure what type of skin they are. How can you tell? First, ask yourself if you have any oiliness, dryness, or signs of aging. If you are oily all over, you are an oily skin. If you are oily in the T zone and dry on the cheeks, you are probably a combination skin. If you are moderately to extremely dry on the cheeks you are a dry skin. If you have signs of aging, more than likely you have a dry skin.
——————————
7. Melanoma (skin cancer) can be detected in its early stages and treated. Those with fair skin and blue eyes, those who had a blistering sunburn in their youth, and those who are genetically predisposed, may develop melanoma sometime in their lifetime. You and your doctor should examine your skin for any new moles or changes to existing ones. The dermatologist may decide to biopsy the area in question to determine if it is cancerous or not. If it is cancerous, a surgeon will remove the mole and surrounding tissue. Follow up treatment may be an option, depending on the prognosis. Melanoma is treatable and you too can be a survivor. Contact www.cancer.org with any questions.
——————————
8. The lightest concentration of fragrance is cologne. This should be applied liberally in a spray or splash form. An eau de toilette is stronger and can be applied lightly or liberally. The most concentrated form of a fragrance is perfume (parfum), which contains the most essential oils and so is the longest lasting form of the fragrance. Dab perfume onto pulse points (wrist, behind ears, in cleavage, behind the knees). Cologne or eau de toilette can be used along with a dab of perfume.
——————————
9. Daily beauty care is not sufficient to cleanse the epidermis from impurities that produce a dull complexion. The skin has to be cleansed deeply once or twice a week in order for it to be totally clear and smooth. Using a facial mask will give you a beautiful glow to your complexion.
——————————
10. The prime cause of pimples and blackheads is usually not the make-up but the cleansing routine. You must be very thorough when removing make-up at the end of the day. Never be tempted to go to sleep without cleansing your face. You might also like to add a cleansing lotion and toner to your nightly routine. Do not use soap. Deep cleansing your face will prevent your pores from becoming clogged which enable bacteria to grow..
——————————
11. You must treat the skin on your neck as gently as the skin on your face. Otherwise, your neck will appear dry and wrinkled, compared to the smooth, treated skin on your face. Remember to cleanse, tone, and moisturize your neck just as often as you do the rest of your face with alcohol free products.

how to get brighter, wider eyes
Apply one thin coat of mascara to both upper and lower lashes. For a more dramatic look, allow first coat to dry completely then apply a second coat concentrating on the base of the lash.

Tip: For a real eye-opener, use an eyelash curler before applying mascara. Curl gently at the base of the lashes, but never beyond the center of the lashes. Don't clamp down on one spot for too long or you'll get a sharp angle.

Tip: Don't pump the applicator wand in the mascara tube. Doing so will trap air inside and cause the mascara to dry out. Instead, twist the wand to collect more mascara on the brush.

6. The consumption of stimulants as: caffeine, sugar, alcohol or nicotine, right before the waxing session will do more harm than you think.
