Mineral make up came about in the mid 1970's and is now a booming market of eye shadows, blushes and foundations. The finely ground hypoallergenic ingredients are from minerals which occur naturally and have no chemicals, preservatives or dyes.
Supporters of this type of make up believe it is purer than normal products, which contain perfumes and chemicals and its natural products create no allergies. Cynics argue that the ingredients are present in conventional make up and no particular benefits (health wise) can be found in this type of make up.
Contradictory information exists, so people will have to decide for themselves what to believe. Trial packs are available online to test at home, and contain most types of blushes, foundations and eye shadows.
Make up is used to cover unattractive inconsistencies and blemishes and to enhance natural beauty. All make up will differ in appearance depending on the light it is exposed (sunlight, regular or fluorescent lighting).
Experts recommend mineral make up to be applied with expensive synthetic brushes (not animal hair). They don't shed hairs or attract bacteria easily. Test skin appearance in differing types of light by applying only one layer of make up. Setting powders can also change how foundations appear.
For mineral make up application the skin should not be oily and must have moisture, so its best that your face is freshly washed - use gentle cleansers and lightly moisturize, allowing a minimum of 15 minutes for the moisturizer to penetrate the skin, before applying make up.
Seasons are important when choosing colors for blushes and foundations. Slightly darker foundations can be used for summer, which matches your tan, with lighter colors of blush, eye shadow and lipstick. Less make up is required in summer as it can also clog pores and the skin has slightly more oil - you might also be sweating outdoors. Winter foundations should be adjusted to take into consideration the absence of a tan, however, colors for lips, eyes and cheeks could be warmer and darker.
Naturally oily skins should require mineral powder and not a liquid mineral foundation. Mica is used to make the skin look shinier and if oily skin is a problem, then avoid a foundation that includes it.
Cynics say that mineral make up isn't suitable for women with strong ethnic backgrounds because it makes them look green or yellow - they can only establish this by testing it. Online trial size kits cost $10.00 or less and companies are keen to assist people because satisfied customers will return for more purchases.

How Permanent Is Permanent Hair Removal?
By Mia Hepburn
What does permanent mean? In the realm of hair it means that those follicles will not grow back. Ever. It means a life free of body hair. How does this apply to laser treatments, what kind of results do they offer? The simple answer is prettygood, lasers does offer fantastic results. However, just how great these results are is based on a person to person basis. The problem arises with the fact that that laser clinics, medical spas, plastic surgeons, and dermatologist are often fast and loose with the term "permanent hair removal."
Currently the FDA only allows for electrolysis to be marketed under that definition. That's not to say Laser Hair Removal is not FDA approved, it is, but it's approved for permanent hair reduction. Laser technology faces a much stiffer review process than electrolysis did, and lasers could very well be even more efficient.
The Difference Between Hair Removal and Hair Reduction
Permanent hair removal refers to the fact that hair will not grow back, you will be as bare today as the day you were born, whereas hair reduction allows for the chance of regrowth. Reduction says that it's long lasting, there's a possibility for permanency, but it allows for small chance that it's not. This does not mean that you should expect hair regrowth after laser treatments, most clients do not have any sort of regrowth. Some people experience results that can last a lifetime, while other patients the results may only be significant for 3 or 5 years.
Laser Hair Removal provides reduction of up to 90% of hair growth. You may not be able to remove all hairs with laser technology, but you can expect to loose the vast majority of it. Laser Hair Removal can't claim permanency without acknowledging that 10% chance. This is why the FDA would prefer the term permanent hair reduction over hair removal. And let's not forget that 90% hair loss is still vastly superior over waxing or tweezing, which offers a zero percent chance of permanent hair reduction.
Laser Technology vs. Electrolysis
Electrolysis accomplishes the removal of hair by individually electrocuting each hair, follicle by follicle. It's an effective process for getting rid of hair, but an extremely time consuming one as well. Expect a treatment to last 2 to 3 hours! While an effective method for small areas like the upper lip, electrolysis can become problematic for larger areas like the back or chest. And while the technology of electrolysis is long lasting in theory, it doesn't account for human error. Imagine having to pluck out all your leg hairs individually, after hours of plucking there's no way you could keep up a high level of focus. Laser epilation offers efficiency and control anywhere on the body: from the back to the face to the bikini line.
While, technically laser treatments may not be deemed permanent hair removal, it's as long lasting as hair removal can be. Nothing on the market today offers better results than Laser Hair Removal.

Makeup - Mineral Makeup Versus Conventional Makeup
By David Yu
The essential components of all makeup would remain the same irregardless of the type of makeup or brand that you use. The basic difference lies in the fact that each type of makeup uses different formula with varying amounts of additives. In addition, makeup brands would even differ in the type of additives that they use. These include fragrances, binders, dyes and pigments and even preservatives. You may think that the additive percentage within makeup is very small, so how could it make such a big difference among the brands of makeup?
The intensity of the makeup would be dependent upon the amount of pigment used to achieve the desired color or tone of the makeup; the amount of binder used would indicate how solid your makeup is to your touch, how severe it feels on your skin, and how natural in looks in the final application; the amount of preservative incorporated would determine the shelf life of your makeup and its consistency from batch to batch.
So you may have been told time and time again that makeup is makeup, but not all makeup are equal. Mineral makeup, for one, is a makeup like no other. It is one of the purest forms of makeup available; it does not contain many of the common additives that regular makeup may contain, all of which are known to irritate the more sensitive or acne prone skin types.
Mineral makeup instead contains simply what makes the makeup a makeup - minerals such as mica, zinc oxide and titanium oxide. Its pigmentation and coloration are naturally obtained from the earth, so that they do not add to the problem of skin irritations. In addition, mineral makeup is non-comedongenic. This means that it will not clog the pores of the skin. The possibilities of skin irritation and acne outbreaks are therefore greatly reduced. Some people even claim that the metal oxides that make up the mineral makeup (titanium and zinc) have both a soothing effect on the skin in and anti-inflammatory properties.
But despite all of these known facts and assumptions about mineral makeup, one thing and one thing only is responsible for its extreme growth over the last few years - mineral makeup is the alternative to other more classic compact makeup that women have been accustomed to for years. It promises to offer a more comprehensive coverage, and it promises to stay on for hours after its application. Mineral makeup can replace the need for a separate foundation, powder and even concealer which were all former necessities with any other makeup line. Instead a single shade of mineral makeup now performs all three jobs seamlessly and effortlessly. Most importantly, it does this naturally so that at no time does the wearer ever feel like she has a mask on!

Choosing Hairstyles To Suit Your Hair Texture, Hair Type and Face Shape
By Jo Rushworth
Before deciding on a hairstyle you should take into consideration your hair texture and hair type and opt for a style you can manage easily. You should also consider whether a particular hairstyle will suit your face shape.
Fine Hair - There are various ways in which you can add body and volume to fine hair. These include correct cutting and shaping techniques, chemical wave or root lift applications. Choose styles with minimum graduation such as bob cuts and wedges. Layers will create an illusion of thickness. Keep hair short to shoulder length.
Coarse Hair - To help disguise an overall heavy look, cut is very important. Look for hairstyles that lessen the bulk and weight that coarse hair produces. Layer cuts or razor cuts will thin out the thickness of your hair, and in the process, give a sleeker finish.
Straight Hair - Simple, geometric haircuts like bobs are perfect for straight hair of any texture. If you prefer your hair long, tapered layers along the face will soften hard lines. For extra volume, add layers from the last three inches to the ends.
Curly Hair - Possibly the most versatile of all. You can use straightening products or let it go soft and curly on its own. Layered hair cuts reduce bulk and the curls are easier to maintain. If you wear your hair long, the curls tend to be slightly looser with the weight of your hair. Razor-cuts are not advised for hair that tends to be frizzy.
Your best cut is determined by your face, so strive for a hairstyle that works with your particular face shape. Using this strategy will help create a balance that can change the appearance of a face shape and also emphasize your best features.
Here are some guidelines:
Square Face - Choose a hairstyle that will create softness and detract from a square jaw line such as long layers with soft waves, curls or choppy ends. You can also get away with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward. A centre parting or chin length bobs and square bangs (fringes) on the forehead will accentuate a square face, so avoid those geometric lines.
Round Face - Try cuts that fall just below the chin. Soft, graduated layers are ideal because they make your face appear slimmer and remove volume from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends. These de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Add some height to the top of the head to make your face look longer.
Long Face - Choose a style with layers or go for a chin length bob with a fringe which will create horizontal lines. Scrunch dried or curly bobs balance a long face. Brow-skimming bangs are also ideal because they create the illusion of width. Avoid short cuts or styles that add height on top.
Heart shaped Face - Opt for long sideswept bangs and a length that frames the jaw line. Keep top layers soft and long. Avoid short, blunt-cut bangs and harsh, choppy layers.
Oval Face - With this face shape, you have the advantage of being able to pull off any look. However, much depends on the quality of hair; thin, wavy, straight etc. Avoid short layers that add height on top of your head. This will make your face appear long. If your hair is thick or curly, avoid a blunt cut.

Keeping Up With Natural Alternatives To Skincare Beauty Products
By Cheyenne Leslie
It's always easier to look good if you have the right beauty products. There are an ever growing number of beauty products available for those who know exactly what they need. Typical beauty products can be divided into three major categories: hair, nails and skin.
Whilst there are also many natural beauty products are designed to help, you can't beat maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regime. The natural beauty approach provides overall good health and this will significantly affect your appearance.
No matter how healthy you are though, it doesn't hurt to use some beauty products for your nails, hair and skin because the atmosphere and sun can take their toll even on the healthiest looking among us. Beauty products designed for our hair come in many forms and you can easily choose your items according to your specific needs. Shampoos for example can now have a number of different affects on our hair care and styling products that do just about anything for us.
If you are unluckily enough to have hair that is hard to control then there are de-frizzing agents to help you make it more manageable. Whilst those types of hair care products can ensure fizzy hair stays under control, there are others that have the opposite effect and give volume to dull lifeless hair. There are hair care products developed for all different needs and all different hair types.
Your nails are important too but a healthy diet and some sunshine are necessary requirements if you want them to grow strong. Beauty products can also include vitamin supplements which can help because we sometimes need some extra strength especially if we use our hands all day long.
If you have strong nails it's easy to buy natural beauty products designed to make them look good or alternatively a manicurist can provide a professional service. Some people that suffer with soft nails may find that using acrylic nails as a suitable option as they can be applied in around an hour and are easier to decorate.
The typical view of beauty products used on the skin is divided into two areas, creams and anti-aging products although this is far from the truth.Today though, there are many alternatives and the growth in using natural skincare products, for example, is increasing every year.
It is important to remember that we are covered in skin from our head to our toes. So spend a little time on yourself, clean of the pollution and moisturize all of your body regularly and not just certain areas if you want to maintain its natural beauty. Body maintenance isn't hard so don't forget these beauty product secrets as they can make you feel like a different person.

Preparing For Collagen Injections And Treatments
By Dr. Jim Greene
Undergoing facial rejuvenation treatments such as collagen injections are individualized issues. Expectations and hopes are important to be discussed with a board-certified, well-experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in the field of non-surgical and surgical facial treatments and procedures.
Before you undergo injection treatments, your plastic surgeon will conduct initial consultation and evaluate your face. Aside from the evaluation that will be done to your skin, muscles and underlying bone structure, goals and desired results of the surgery will be discussed as well. After the consultation and the evaluation process, your plastic surgeon will guide you on what type of treatments to choose that will perfectly suit the anatomy of your body, your concerns, lifestyle and desired results.
During the evaluation process, your doctor will ask about your medical background. Information associated with your medical history is very important if you are planning to have collagen injection treatments. You will be ask if you are allergic to certain drugs and skin conditions that may result to later problems such as non-healed sores due to injuries and active skin infections.
In general, pregnant women are not allowed to undergo injection treatments. It is also off limits to people suffering from autoimmune diseases and individuals allergic to bovine-derived products. Patients allergic to the anesthetic agent known as lidocain which is contained with the liquid-base material are not allowed to undergo such treatments as well.
Patients are always advised to learn about the risks and contraindications of it and its uses. For more information you can always ask your doctor and address all inquires concerning injection treatments.
How you will pay for your treatments should also be prepared and properly thought of in advance. Today you can choose from wide arrays of easy payment selection that will usually be offered to you by your surgeon or your patronized institution. You can only expect your insurance to pay for your treatment if the procedure is performed to correct skin indention or scars caused by injuries or accidents. To make sure if your treatment will be covered by your insurance, it is best to inquire and ask because most insurance doesn't usually pay for cosmetic procedures.
The accommodation where your collagen treatment will be performed should be established beforehand. This will enable you to prepare for the events that will take place after the procedure. Collagen injections are non-surgical treatments usually administered by surgeons in their office based facilities. However, in cases where your collagen injections are associated with your browlift, facelift and necklift procedures where you will be hospitalized for a few days, it is better to have them done in the hospital.
Dr. Jim Greene would like to provide you with more resources to help you make a sound decision regarding your next procedure:
Collagen Find out more about the cost of collagen treatments, risk, recovery time and more.
Collgen cream Find out more about collagen based anti wrinkle cream products right now.

Is Talc Safe Enough For Use In Natural Skin Care Products?
By Christine Harrell
As natural skin care products go mainstream, many people are becoming more educated about the ingredients they are putting on their skin. People are concerned over parabens, phthalates, synthetic colors and talc just to name a few. Even though talc has been controversial in the past, the cosmetic-grade talc used in many natural skin care products is 100% safe.
Skin is the largest organ in the body. As such, many product ingredients used on the skin like lotions, shampoos and cosmetics are absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Because the US Government does not mandate safety studies on cosmetics, these products often contain ingredients that are directly linked to cancer, reproductive disorders and other ailments.
Concern over talc safety originated due to its association with asbestos, which can occur in some talc deposits. Low-grade talc, used in the past by some companies, was contaminated by asbestos, which is a known carcinogen. Since 1972, however, government mandated testing and certification has ensured that all cosmetic-grade talc is asbestos free.
In 2007, University of Florida researchers even reported that talcum powder has a new added benefit: the ability to stunt cancer growth by cutting the flow of blood to metastatic lung tumors.
The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, reveals that talc stimulates healthy cells to produce endostatin, a hormone considered vital to curing metastatic lung cancer. The UF researchers say talc is an exciting new therapeutic agent for a cancer largely considered incurable.
So where does talc come from?
Talc is a mineral, produced by the mining of talc rocks and then processed by crushing, drying and milling. Talc miners have also been shown to have no higher incidence of lung cancer than the general population where the mineral is asbestos free.
The resultant powder, which most of us are familiar with, is a slippery, finely powered mineral that absorbs moisture. It currently has many applications including makeup, baby power and antacids. The natural qualities of talc when used in natural skin care products, gives them stability, texture, skin adhesion, slip and water resistance.
Even though talc has been proven to be a safe ingredient for use in cosmetics and powders, other ingredients still have the potential to cause great harm. Choosing organic or natural skin care products is one way for those concerned with ingredient safety to know exactly what they are putting on their skin.
Many international organic or natural skin care products are held to higher standards than those manufactured in the United States. In 2004, for instance, the European Union banned the use of chemicals that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects. Choosing a natural skin care company based out side the United States, can help concerned consumers feel better about their skin care regime.

Because the US Government does not mandate safety studies on cosmetics, these products often contain ingredients that are directly linked to cancer, reproductive disorders and other ailments.
Concern over talc safety originated due to its association with asbestos, which can occur in some talc deposits. Low-grade talc, used in the past by some companies, was contaminated by asbestos, which is a known carcinogen. Since 1972, however, government mandated testing and certification has ensured that all cosmetic-grade talc is asbestos free.
In 2007, University of Florida researchers even reported that talcum powder has a new added benefit: the ability to stunt cancer growth by cutting the flow of blood to metastatic lung tumors.
The study, published in the European Respiratory Journal, reveals that talc stimulates healthy cells to produce endostatin, a hormone considered vital to curing metastatic lung cancer. The UF researchers say talc is an exciting new therapeutic agent for a cancer largely considered incurable.
So where does talc come from?
Talc is a mineral, produced by the mining of talc rocks and then processed by crushing, drying and milling. Talc miners have also been shown to have no higher incidence of lung cancer than the general population where the mineral is asbestos free.
The resultant powder, which most of us are familiar with, is a slippery, finely powered mineral that absorbs moisture. It currently has many applications including makeup, baby power and antacids. The natural qualities of talc when used in natural skin care products, gives them stability, texture, skin adhesion, slip and water resistance.
Even though talc has been proven to be a safe ingredient for use in cosmetics and powders, other ingredients still have the potential to cause great harm. Choosing organic or natural skin care products is one way for those concerned with ingredient safety to know exactly what they are putting on their skin.
Many international organic or natural skin care products are held to higher standards than those manufactured in the United States. In 2004, for instance, the European Union banned the use of chemicals that are known or strongly suspected of causing cancer, mutation or birth defects. Choosing a natural skin care company based out side the United States, can help concerned consumers feel better about their skin care regime.

Are Dangerous Nanoparticles Lurking In Your Cosmetics and Sunscreens?
By Christine Harrel
Consumers are surrounded by warnings of the dangers contained in everything from baby shampoo to denture cream. Recently there has been growing concern over nanoparticles in sunscreens and mineral make up. Is there real danger here or is this just another overhyped story?
What Are Nanoparticles?
A nanoparticle is a piece of material so small that its size is measured in nanometers or billionths of a meter. As a comparison, a typical nanoparticle is approximately 10,000 times smaller than the diameter of a human hair.
The size of nanoparticles is their greatest asset and their greatest health risk. The human body is equipped with defenses designed to keep toxic substances out as they come into contact with our skin, lungs, and intestinal tract.
Nanoparticles are so small they can infiltrate the lungs and intestinal walls, giving the toxins free access to the body. There is some evidence that they may be absorbed directly through the skin as well but the results are inconclusive at this point.
Even non-toxic nanoparticles can cause problems. For example they can get into our lungs but are so small they are not easily cleared by normal mechanisms. This causes the lungs to be overburdened and have to work harder to breathe.
Where Are Nanoparticles Found?
Two common sources of nanoparticles today are sunscreens and mineral make up.
Ironically, nanoparticles used in sunscreen came about because of an effort to avoid toxic materials. Reports of the dangerous effects of benzophenone, homosalate and octyl-methoxycinnamate that some sunscreens use caused many consumers to return to the old-school products containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
However, many people didn't like how these sunscreens looked and wanted something transparent. Manufacturers discovered that by dispersing the titanium dioxide as nanoparticles, it went on clear while still providing sun protection.
The use of nanoparticles in mineral make up was also an attempt to improve the appearance of the product. Pulverizing the minerals to nano-size gave the cosmetics a smoother, more glowing appearance. Consumers liked the change but didn't realize there were associated health risks.
How Do You Avoid Nanoparticles?
Numerous research studies have showed the dangerous effects of nanoparticles and there is little doubt that they pose a significant health threat. A movement is underway to have the FDA regulate engineered nanoparticles much more rigorously. Until that time, consumers have to be smart shoppers.
When buying sunscreens that use metal oxides or mineral make up, look for products that don't use nanoparticles or "micronized" particles. "Non-Micronized" particles are larger than nanoparticles so are safer. Titanium dioxide particles can also be coated with stearic acid to further prevent interaction of the mineral with the body.
Stick with mineral make up that uses titanium dioxide in cream form rather than powder form.
This prevents the particles from being absorbed through the skin or becoming airborne and getting into the lungs. If you are concerned about the health risks of nanoparticles, consider using one of the many great choices in natural and organic cosmetics that allow you to look great without risking your health.

Cold Laser Technology - How a Low Level Laser Promotes Healing
By Chris Robertson
When you hear the word, "laser," what do you think of? Maybe the first thing that comes to mind is laser eye surgery, or perhaps you think about laser printers. It could be that laser-guided missiles pop into mind, or maybe you picture a laser pointer or a barcode scanner. What you might not know is that cold laser technology has produced a powerful yet benign instrument that can promote healing and wellness.
How a Cold Laser Works
A low level laser, sometimes known as a soft laser, is often used in cell regeneration. Essentially, the approach in this type of laser therapy comes from an understanding that every cell in the body has a "memory" of sorts. This memory comes from the cells' polarity. Oftentimes, this polarity prevents the body from being able to regenerate or heal itself. When a healing laser is utilized, however, the cells release their charge and, thus, their memory. Once the cells have neutral energy, the cold laser donates energy to help them rejuvenate.
Systems and Conditions that Benefit
Soft laser therapy can help with a variety of conditions. For example, many people find it useful for pain relief - either acute or chronic - as well as for injuries, weight loss, and smoking cessation. Many others use a healing laser for detoxification, and for reversing the effects of adrenaline, which is known to contribute to pain, stress, diabetes, and aging. A cold laser can also be used for nerve regeneration, organ balancing, and lymph activation. Massage therapists and other healing arts practitioners use a cold laser to align the chakras or meridians, helping their clients to reconnect their bodies, minds, and spirits.
Handheld Devices
Soft lasers are available as portable, handheld devices, and some are designed to be used by both laypeople and health professionals. However, not all cold lasers are created equally. The best have 16 laser diodes in the 650nm and 780nm spectra, as well as a digital interface that is programmable. If you're shopping for a healing laser, make sure to buy one through a company that will also provide you with a carrying case, a rechargeable AC adapter, and plug-ins for the pulsar probes. Most important of all, make sure that the company will supply you with a training DVD and manual. They should also offer support and assistance, as well as a full, money-back guarantee. Generally speaking, lasers have a multitude of applications. Everyone from dentists to defense contractors to engravers use them. Thanks to cold laser technology, though, more people than ever before can benefit from the healing light and cellular rejuvenation that laser therapy provides.

Skin Care Should Start Early to Avoid Severe Problems
By Gloria Mactaggart
Skin problems often begin with untreated dry skin conditions. Although dry skin is fairly common, a lot of people don’t do anything about it until the skin starts flaking, cracking or catching on their clothing. What most people don’t realize is that their skin has probably been dry for some time before those symptoms appear. In fact, if your skin feels just slightly rough, your problems have already started. Should you do something about it in these early stages? Absolutely: doing something now could prevent severe problems, including rashes, eczema and even wrinkles. Thousands of doctors now recommend a shielding lotion to prevent and treat dry skin and other skin problems, but there are a few natural remedies you should also include in your skin care treatment routine.
Why is it important to take action against dry skin early? The outer layer of the skin is composed of oils, fats and dead skin cells. These form a protective layer that locks in natural moisture and prevents bacteria, chemicals and other toxins from being absorbed into the body. Even mildly rough skin has tiny invisible cracks in it and has already lost some of that protective layer.
This opens the door to severe skin problems far worse than a little roughness, and to the development of both skin disease and general illness.
What can you do about it? In addition to using a shielding lotion, a good shielding lotion bonds with the outer layer of the skin to form a new protective layer that locks in moisture and keeps out chemicals, there are a few simple skin care and life style changes that can help prevent the severe problems you’re trying to avoid.
* Stop eating sugar, processed foods and junk foods. The body was not designed to survive on sugar, chemicals and food that came out of a box. Eat a well balanced diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and fish. Do your best to buy organic so you don’t get loaded up with chemicals at every meal.
* Drink several glasses of water every day filtered, clean drinking water.
* Avoid cigarettes, caffeine and alcohol. They’re all toxic, and cigarette smoke is known to cause dry skin and wrinkles.
* Exercise at least 20 minutes three times a week to ensure nutrients are circulated throughout the body, and into the skin. Exercise is vital to any skin care treatment program.
* Take stock of the skin care products in your bathroom. Do they contain long lists of chemicals? If so, you might want to get rid of them and try some of the old fashioned remedies used by your grandmother. Coconut oil, palm oil and other oils with the correct pH balance are great cleansers and rose water is a perfect dry skin toner. Use witch hazel for oily skin. Also, instead of chemicals masques and peels make your own with mild, natural skin care ingredients, and replace thick, greasy skin creams and moisturizers with a shielding lotion.
Above all, be gentle. Once you’ve disturbed the skin’s natural structure and function, you’ve opened the door to everything you’re trying to prevent.
Catching dry skin in the early stages is faster, easier and more effective than trying to treat severe skin conditions. Start your new healthy natural skin care treatment lifestyle today, and you’ll be rewarded with healthy skin for years to come – and don’t forget the shielding lotion.

Organic Skin Care
By Juliet Cohen

There are truly few vegan skincare products on the market and many products that require to be all natural are not. Organic rind maintenance is becoming really favorite these days, and most health nutrient stores have a part devoted to these products.
The basis for robust rind maintenance starts with a robust diet wealthy in entire foods. Foods higher in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, vital fatty acids and higher fibre whole grains are essential to sustain the rind. Unique maintenance is given to select and produce technological combinations of organically grown fruits, vegetables, flowers, herbs, and new normal botanicals long known for their beautifying and curative properties. Natural ingredients from the ground and seas, such as: linden and calendula plants, jasmine and rose petals, rosehip, yarrow, greenish foods, nettles, paprika, normal thermal mineral spring waters, plus overly many new botanical extracts to cite offer hike to a lovely, clear-cut, balanced, revitalized, and naturally glowing complexion, available results that alone nature can develop.
Healthy skin is more often than not dependant on doing the things that help along the body's own natural cleansing and repair processes. Many people want to use organic products instead of man-made, synthetic ones. They may prefer organic products due to environmental sensibilities or because they feel these products are gentler. Organic skin care products are usually more expensive than regular products because organic crops yield less produce than non-organic crops. Organic & herbal skin care products are as good for you, as they are at making you look good. Skin care products made of organic materials will help awaken that younger ‘you.’ If you have normal skin, it is likely to be problem free, look healthy and clear of spots and blemishes most of the time. It is important to regularly use a facial wash or cleanser, and non heavy moisturiser everyday too.
Every person has a different facial type, which means everyone has different skin care needs. While some of us have experience of excess oiliness on the face, there are others who will experience dryness on the face. Therefore, the most important thing to do before starting an organic skin care regimen is to establish your own facial type. Skin is one of the most important organs of the body, so it is important to perform proper research before making any purchases of any organic goods. This will keep you looking healthy for years to come, and it will also help prevent unwanted acne or blemishes. Organic men’s skin care products tend to be oil or moisture based, and are without harsh chemicals so you will find them gentler than other ranges. Eating less fatty food is the usual stock recommendation and while this is undeniable true it is equally important to make sure that you look at the quality and balance of your food intake.

Shaving Hair Tips
By Louise Forrest
You probably have heard the urban legend about how shaving off the hair would make it grow more beautifully eventually. Perhaps, you have proven that supposed myth or you may know someone who could attest to the truthfulness of that assertion. You may not entirely know it but it has been proven that there is no real basis to that belief. In fact, many experts and researchers are contradicting that assertion.
According to most cosmetic dermatologists, hair looks thicker when they start to grow from being shaven because they are cut straight across. That way, the hair shaft’s thicker portion is exposed. That way, because the thicker part of the hair is more exposed, it tends to thin out as it grows longer. Thus, you would feel as if your sprouting hair is truly made softer than ever.
Another myth about shaven hair is the belief that hair tends to grow darker after shaving. Experts explain that when your hair has been completely shaven off and it starts to sprout again, the hair will tend to look like little dots that would contrast against the normal skin color. This, the hair would create somehow an optical illusion as if it is growing darker. As the hair becomes longer, it would be evident that the color has not really changed at all.
However, experts and cosmetic dermatologists are not advising against hair shaving. The activity has been a wide practice across majority of all races and civilizations worldwide. As a matter of fact, shaving hair is currently considered among the boldest moves any fashionable individual would do for the sake of vanity. It would therefore be helpful if you would be advised to take the following simple guidelines when shaving off your hair.
Make sure to use a sharp razor to shave off hair. When shaving body hair, especially in the leg, shave off the hair in the growth direction, not against it. While it has always been believed that shaving against natural hair pattern is more effective, there is a wide misconception as hair when shaven off that way could become a little in grown. For people with curly body hair, normal shaving is not advisable. Instead, a laser hair removal would be the best. Moreover, laser hair removal operations are also more advisable on people who have light skin complemented by dark hair.
Shaving after a shower or a warm bath would be most advisable as warm water naturally softens the hair so that when it grows back, it would come easier and would feel and look softer and more beautiful. To condition the hair before shaving, using a shaving cream as lubricant and hair softener would be most advisable. When using such products prior to shaving, make sure to leave the product on the hair to be shaven for a few minutes before the razor is finally tasked to complete its duty.
What are aftershaves for? Such shaving products actually moisturize the hair and the skin. During shaving, you are not only cutting hair; you are also stripping off the outermost skin layer of natural oil. Thus, it would help a lot if an appropriate moisturizer would be applied after the activity.
For razor bumps, it would be advisable if you would apply cortisone cream after the shaving activity. Such bumps are produced by the trauma created to the skin when shaving. Cortisone has features that help heal the skin around the shaven areas.

Plus Size Teen Fashions Online
By Andrea Dilea
Teenagers today are all about fashion. They spend their allowances and their parent's money on whatever trend is at its peak when they hit the malls. Unfortunately, this has left out the plus sized teens, who struggle just to find clothes that fit, let alone those that are stylish and trendy for them to allow them fit in well with their peers. Although the plus sized fashion industry has evolved quite a bit over the years to cater to adults who wear plus size attire, the addition of 'tweens and teens to their plus size lines has taken a bit longer.
Due to the fact that teens can greatly influence the market with their spending power, a lot of clothing manufacturers are expanding their offerings to cater to the plus sized teens. Clothing designers are creating trendy clothes to help plus sized teens not only have clothes that fit well, but help them fit in with their peers better as well.
There are many online stores that are catering to the plus size teen. Torrid is one popular online shop that carries fashionable clothes for the plus sized teen. You can find a selection of denim styles in shirts, shorts, and jeans. There's also a selection of dresses and lacy tops as well as fashionable swimwear.
B&lu is another very popular online store that caters to plus size fashions. They have many t-shirts, shorts, dresses and skirts in all the trendiest fashions for plus size young women. Their fashions are designed so younger women can still fit in with their peers.

Although the plus sized fashion industry has evolved quite a bit over the years to cater to adults who wear plus size attire, the addition of 'tweens and teens to their plus size lines has taken a bit longer.

Massage Parlors - Body Massage Parlors
By Ricky Hussey
For many of us the words massage parlors trigger the image of places where illicit sex is sold under the guise of a soothing massage. There are probably some massage parlors where illicit sex is sold but for the most part a massage parlor is an office and treatment center. These massages parlors are deigned to give massages that can help people with a variety of health needs.
When you enter a legitimate massage parlor the receptionist will take your name and ask if you have an appointment. Regardless of whether you have an appointment or not the receptionist will proceed to ask you a few questions. These questions will pertain to the type of massage that you are hoping to have.
Once the receptionist has the various required information you will be asked to wait in the tastefully decorated waiting room. Here you can read the day’s magazines, newspaper or you can look at the various lotions, creams and aromatherapy oils that are used in the massages. You have the option of selecting the oils and other items that are seen inside of the display stand that can be found in some massage parlors.
In b you will be asked to discuss what sort of pains or problems you are experiencing. Also the therapist may ask if you have been given a medical massage referral. These types of questions are a normal part of understanding the type of needs that a clients will have. This discussion will help both the client and the therapist.
Massage parlors need to conform to the various laws that are in place for the standard of work that is done. In many countries the client can wear their underclothing or have a towel or massage sheet draping the areas of the body that is not going to be massaged. Massage parlors must provide these items to their clients regardless of whether they are requested or not.
For the massage to be performed properly there are different types of equipment that can be found in the treatment sections of massage parlors. The standard pieces of equipment will include a massage table or massage chair, a massage stool where the therapist can give a through massage as may become needed.
The additional items that you will find in massage parlors are the various essential oils that are used in aromatherapy, mild smelling lotions and creams. Sometimes you will find CD players where pregnant mothers can ask for soothing music to be played while their massage is being performed.

Makeup Mistakes Women of Color Make-Beauty
By David Jones
Here's more advice from makeup artists regarding some common cosmetic blunders.
Don't: Line lips with black eyeliner.
This look, based on a trend set by Naomi Campbell back in the nineties, is no longer in fashion and is not as flattering as some women believe. Lip liner should never look like a dark ring encircling the mouth.
Do: Match lip liner with lipstick and blend.
Your makeup will look more natural if there is no clear line between liner and lipstick. Try colors like plums and burgundies. Or you can blend a neutral tone liner (chestnut, chocolate) with matching lipstick and gloss just in the center. Whatever you do, don't forget to blend.
Don't: Draw in your eyebrows.
To frame the face some women mistakenly use pencil to create an artificial looking arch.
Do: Take time to create a natural-looking brow.
Pluck or wax only excess hairs. Enhance thin brows with a combination of light eye pencil strokes the strokes should look like individual eyebrow hairs. For more definition, add eye shadow matching your brow color.
Don't: Buy foundation a shade lighter or darker than your skin tone.
Many women of color do this consciously to alter their complexion. But it looks obvious.
Do: Select a foundation that blends with your natural tone.
The purpose of foundation is to bring out your natural beauty by evening skin tone. Ask a cosmetics consultant for help in finding the right match and applying it with powder. Once you've learned how to use these products to enhance your beauty, you'll feel better about the skin you're in.
Don't: Forget to blend eye shadow.
Though you may use three different shades of shadow, you should not be able to see the lines between those shades.
Do: Blend, blend, blend.
After you've applied your shadow colors, use a shadow brush, or your fingers, to blend the lines between the colors. The effect will be more flattering and natural.
Don't: Wear too much makeup or too little.
Some women of color apply too much foundation and powder because they are imitating celebrities or they believe that's how makeup is supposed to look thick and cakey. Others, turned off by a "made up" face, wear no makeup at all, or only lipstick.
Do: Wear just enough makeup to bring out your natural beauty.
If you apply concealer and one layer each of foundation and powder, coverage should be complete and even. There's no need for multiple makeup layers. To complete your look, add some complementary eye shadow, mascara, and lipstick. If you've selected the appropriate shades, you will not look too made up you'll just look like a better you. Consult the experts at a makeup counter for guidance, and take notes.

Learn Some Facts About Oily Skin Care
By Eduardo Fernandes
To begin the discussion on oily skin care, it’s imperative to first understand the cause behind oily skin. Put plainly, oily skin is a effect of excessive production of sebum (an oily substance that is naturally produced by skin). Since is known to everybody, excess of anything is bad; so excessive sebum is bad too. It leads to clogging of skin pores, leading to accumulation of dead cells and hence formation of pimples/acne. What's more, oily skin spoils your appearance too. So, ‘oily skin care’ is as important as the ‘skin care’ for other types of skin.
The primary target of ‘oily skin care’ is the removal of excessive sebum or oil from the skin. However, oily skin care routines should not lead to complete removal of oil. ‘Oily skin care’ starts out with the use of a cleanser. Yet, not all cleansers will work. You need a cleanser which contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxy acid that retards the rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be performed twice a day (and even more in hot and humid conditions).
Almost of the oily skin care products are oil-free; still, it's always better to check the ingredients of the product, before you actually buy it. This is particularly important if a product is marked as ‘suited for all skin types’, instead of ‘oily skin care product’. ‘Oily skin care’ is also dependent on the degree of oiliness, if you aren’t too oily, then some of these ‘suitable for all’- type of products may work for you too. For extremely oily skin, only oily skin care products are suitable. Your oily skin care routine can include an alcohol based toner (for an extremely oily skin). This can be the second step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. However, excessive toning can harm your skin.
The following step in your oily skin care routine can be a mild moisturiser. Again, the level of oiliness of your skin will decide whether you need to include this in your oily skin care routine. If you do choose to include a moisturiser, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free and lipid-free. You could also use a clay mask (say once a week) as an oily skin care measure.
As far as the oily skin care products go, you may need to try out a couple of them before you arrive at the one that is actually suitable for your skin.
In case these measures don’t give you the desired result, consult a good dermatologist for advice. He could prescribe stronger oily skin care products like vitamin A creams, retinoids, sulphur creams etc , which can help counter the problems of oily skin.

What are the Teeth Whitening Treatment?
By Jessica Thomson
Henry BakersonLevel: Basic PLUS
Hello, The name is Henry. ...
White teeth are very important for one to establish a good image in the professional as well as the personal circle. White teeth are one of the most important ingredients of a beautiful smile and a reliable appearance. There are many Teeth Whitening treatments available. One can easily go for the age old home recipes or the technologically advanced cosmetic dentistry. Although the home recipes are quite effective, they take a lot of time and patience in whitening the teeth. Cosmetic dentistry has over the years emerged as one of the most effective tools for whitening the tobacco and coffee stained discolored tooth.
Among all the technologies that are used to whiten and bleach the teeth, the most popular and effective is the laser tooth whitening. The laser tooth whitening is not only quite effective but gives almost certain results and that too in no matter of time. By this procedure the enamel is penetrated to brighten them up. In this system the laser light is used to activate the crystals that are within the whitening gel. The laser light is immersed and soaked up by the crystals and these crystals enter the enamel of the patient's tooth. This has a certain lightening effect on the tooth of the patient. Before this procedure is begun, the dentist ensures that all the plaques are removed from the teeth by cleaning them. After the plaque is removed, the dentist applies the whitening gel. This whitening gel is then treated with the application of the laser light. As earlier mentioned the gel then gets soaked in the laser light and enters the enamel to brighten them. There maybe a need to repeat this procedure if there are many stains on the teeth.
This procedure gives quick results and is very good for those who have less patience and want results in a very short period of time. This procedure not only helps in getting rid of all the stains but is also very helpful in lightening the pigmentation of the teeth. Laser Tooth Whitening is has no side effects and complications. The laser light is completely soundless and has no contact with the teeth physically. This procedure helps in keeping the teeth clean for almost two to three years and is also not much expensive given the wonders it does. All in all it is one of the best teeth whitening treatments and is much better than the age old ways and recipes for achieving quick results.

Natural Body of the Physical World : Ayurveda Facials
By Swornambigai Ambika
Our culture transmits a very clear message about what type of body is beautiful a tall, slender, fit, tone, young, body. Any deviation from this ideal is considered deficient and less desirable. This means that the vast majority of women feel deficient; they feel that they are less than beautiful. Ayurveda, the ancient healing science of India, offers another perspective on what is beautiful. Ayurveda focuses on the fact that every person is unique. According to Ayurveda, it is when we understand our unique body and mind that we can begin to reveal our true beauty.
Ayurveda Facials maintains that the physical world, and therefore the human body, is derived from a combination of five element: ether, air, fire, water, and earth. These five elements combine to form three doshas. Doshas are the energetic principles that govern the entire human mind/body system. Your unique psycho-physiology is determined by the interaction of these three doshas.
People with a predominance of Pitta tend to be medium-framed. They often have good muscle tone, average body weight and height, and a rosy complexion. Pitta is the principle of fire in the body, and as such it is responsible for all digestion and metabolism. For this reason, Pitta people tend to have strong appetites and become irritable if they do not eat on time. They are often very driven people who love to learn and have sharp intellects. They can be very high achievers but can often become tense and irritable under stress.
People with mostly Kapha tend to be physically very strong and sturdy. They often have excellent muscle tone, big bones, and a strong physical structure. For this reason, they can often push themselves physically and mentally without exhaustion. Many of them find stress invigorating. In balance, they tend to be compassionate and peaceful, getting along well in many situations. However, they can also tend toward complacency. They often tend to dislike exercise and love sweets, and thus can gain weight easily. Please Purchase Online http://ayurvedasbeautycare.com/

Three Types of Treatment For Acne
By Eduardo Fernandes
Three Types of Treatment For Acne
Acne is a menace. However, it’s not something that cannot be tackled. There are loads of acne skin care products around. We can separate acne skin care products into 3 broad categories – * Preventive or general acne skin care products * Over-the-counter, specialised acne skin care products * On-prescription acne skin care products.
The common acne skin care products are the ones that are used as acne-prevention measure. These include cleansers, make-up removers and similar products that help prevent acne.These acne skin care products are exactly those that should always be part of your daily routine. However, a few of these are more directed to act similar as an acne skin care product. These acne skin care products act against the causes of acne e.g. limiting the production of sebum/oil and preventing clogging of skin pores. Essentially, these acne skin care products keep the oil from becoming trapped in pores and hence hamper the growth of bacteria that lead to acne. The general acne skin care products as well include exfoliation products like skin peels. These work towards removing dead skin cells, hence reducing the possibility of pore-clogging and bacteria development.
Then there are specialised acne skin care products that are available over-the-counter i.e. without the need of a prescription. These include products like vanishing creams which extract the extra oil from the skin. Most of these acne skin care products are based on benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, both of which are the enemies of bacteria (and hence acne). You should begin with a product that has lower concentration of benzoyl peroxide (e.g. 5%) and see how your skin responds to it. Alpha-hydroxy-acid based moisturizers are also popular as acne skin care products. You may have to try a couple of, before you zero-in on the acne skin care product that is effective for you. If nothing appears to work, you should contact a dermatologist.
On-prescription acne skin care products are the ones that are prescribed by a dermatologist. This can include ointments that can be applied on the affected area or oral antibiotics or just any topical treatment. Dermatologist could also suggest a minor surgical procedure to remove the contents of pustules. However, never try to squeeze or do this by yourself, it can lead to permanent damage of your skin. Your doctor could also prescribe a hormone-based treatment (since hormonal changes are also known to cause acne). Such acne skin care products are known to be very effective in some cases. So, with all those acne skin care products, tackling acne is not that difficult.

10 Best Skin Care Tips
By Eduardo Fernandes
Healthy skin is truly one of the most important ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article on skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10 best skin care tips to you. The list of skin care tips has been restricted to 10 because anything more that that would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important skin care tips. So let’s see what these top ten skin care tips are:
1) Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skin care tip. This is important because not every skin care product suits everyone. In fact, all the skin care products specify the type of skin they cater too.
2) ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an important skin care tip.
3) Cleanse your skin regularly (1-2 times everyday). A very effective skin care tip that helps in getting rid of the dirt and other harsh elements from your skin. Cleansing is especially important when you have been out of your house (and hence exposed to pollutants, dust etc). This skin care tip also advocates the use of Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin)
4) Be gentle, after all it’s your skin. Don’t scrub/exfoliate too hard or too often. Similarly, don’t apply too much or too many skin care products. A must-to-follow skin care tip.
5) Keep your skin moist at all times. This is one of the most important skin care tip. Don’t let your skin get dry. Dryness causes the outer layer of your skin to break, leading to a rough and unattractive appearance. Use moisturisers/ emollients. Moisturisers work best when applied while the skin is still damp.
6) Avoid the use of soap on your face. Soap should only be used from below the neck. A small but important skin care tip.
7) Use sunscreen to protect yourself from sun’s harmful UV radiations. You can use day-time moisturisers that have sunscreen built into them. Use them even when it’s cloudy. UV radiations are known to cause skin cancer, so follow this skin care tip without fail.
8) A bit of exercise and good sleep are essential too, not just for skin care but for your health as a whole. Lack of sleep can lead to formation of wrinkles below your eyes and lack of exercise can cause your skin to slack. Moreover, exercise and sleep also help in beating stress. So besides being a skin care tip, this is also a health care tip.
9) Treat skin dilemmas with care. This skin care tip is about not ignoring any skin dilemmas. Consult your dermatologist before you go on to use a skin care product (lest you do end up harming your skin even more).
10) Beat the stress. The harmful effects of stress are known to everyone, however, sometimes stating the obvious is essential too (and hence this skin care tip found its place here). Yes, stress harms skin too. So, take a break or indulge in a warm bubble bath or just get good sleep.

Healthy Hair Growth
By T Thomas
Healthy Hair Growth with Different Thinning Shampoos The hormone (dht) is known to eventually cause hair loss because it contributes to miniaturization of the hair follicles. It may be possible to help reduce the amount of this hormone by using the proper shampoos. There are many different known hair care lines and shampoos to help reduce the hormone (dht) which is believed to causes eventual loss of hair and miniaturization of the hair follicle.
Today, there is no product yet in the market that helps in producing long lasting hair growth. But, Nioxin is one of the better known along with Nexxus and Boost that can help in maintaining and enriching the hair. With long term use, this is a great way to boost thickness of each individual strand. Products these days produce heavy build-up on your follicles and blocks the pores of your scalp as well as the flow of nutrition to the scalp or root.
As already stated, one of the factors that are believed to cause a common pattern of baldness is the hormone dht. This creates stress in roots reproduction and prevents it from having a healthy re-growth. The Different levels of the shampoos can help clear the follicle from absorbing build-up and sebum on scalp. This product has a mint scent and can penetrate hair follicles with its strong menthol action. Most of the time mild redness occurs in the scalp after using this product because it helps stimulate the scalp circulation that is essential in the re-growth process. For those who have sensitive skin, don't be alarmed. This is just an initial reddening that usually recedes after continued use.
For example, Nioxin has different hair systems for treatment. If you have fine, limp and thinning hair, you can take the first among the four systems in the hair treatments. For coarse hair and medium textured hair, more of the strong hold gel styling products and shampoos can be used. This hair system is from 4 to 8.

Taking Care of the Inside so the Outside Looks Good
By Brett Smith
A while back a company in the States sent me "the be all and end all" in skin care products.
Well it would want to be at the price. Wow, this must be good. It feels good just putting it on - $100 for 10g! Anyways it seemed ok but surprisingly for a 70's man, I know quite a bit about skin care.
When you're born in North Queensland and have surfed nearly everyday since I was 4, I'd have looked like Keith Richards' Dad if I hadn't wised up.
Firstly, the number one biggest mistake in skin care is the obsession with external care over internal care. The outer layers of your skin are dead. Skin is renewed from the inside out and my 7 secret ingredients for great skin within are;
1. Water - Hydrating the skin is of the utmost importance so try and drink between 1-2 litres of water per day.
2. Essential Fatty Acids - My personal favourite is fish oil but other great sources include flaxseed, nuts, seeds, eggs, fish. For more information, read my article on fats.
3. Antioxidants - Vitamins A,C,E
Most encapsulated forms of vitamin A are pretty poor in terms of quality. Try cod liver oil (molecularly distilled pharmaceutical grade and not farmed fish - email me if you are interested in the best brands on the market).
Or you could just try eating fish 3 times a week. Encapsulated vitamin E is usually just soybean oil so once again best to source this through the real oil - wheat germ oil is probably the best.
Vitamin C is necessary for tissue growth and repair and vital for the formation of collagen.
4. Zinc - A wonder nutrient. Tissue regeneration, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, vitamin A-binding, protein formation. Try half a dozen oysters every other day or if you must supplement, zinc citrate 40 mg daily.
5. Selenium - Prevents free radical damage to cell membranes. Brazil nuts are a great source.
6. Bioflavonoids - Any colourful fruits and berries. Antioxidant and crucial for capillary strength.
7. Protein - A major building block for all animals. A structural component essential for skin integrity.
Things to Avoid:
Alcohol, sugar, trans fats, tobacco
So we've covered the internal. Let's have a look at the best (and not necessarily the most expensive) products to use externally. When I contacted the American company about the ingredients of their wonder product, the salesman rattled off a pretty impressive list.
But once I looked down the list, things started to click. I said to the salesman, this looks like butter? I was greeted with a very awkward silence. So it's butter I said. Um....not entirely was the answer. What a cow.
Alright. Externally - Coconut oil, Olive oil, Emu oil (for sunburns), Biodynamic butter (unsalted), Avocado oil. If you are worried about the greasy look that oils can leave, use sparingly.
Apply after your shower.
