Which Skincare Treatment Is Right For You?by Jennifer P. April 10/6/2010 It can be hard to find a good skincare treatment. Despite the 1000’s of products lining the shelves, they’re not all the same. And if you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for something that will firm and tone your skin effectively, preferably without harsh ingredients. Am I right? I started researching skincare treatments a few years ago when I became aware of the harsh and potentially harmful ingredients in some products. In case you’re not aware, many skincare treatments have ingredients that end in paraben-methyl, butyl and others-these show up in high concentrations in breast tumors. This preservative extends the shelf life of your skincare but mimics estrogen in your body and so can interfere with your endocrine system. Then there are sulfates. They’re listed as sodium laureth sulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate. These harsh cleaning products strip your skin of valuable moisture. They’re great at lathering so they’re used in industrial floor cleaners. You wouldn’t cleanse your face with mop water from your local fast food establishment so skip products with these ingredients too. So, what’s left you’re asking? Once you start reading the labels to weed out these ingredients, you may be surprised at the few product options left. But you’ll be doing your skin and your health a favor by looking for natural skincare treatments that benefit your skin from the inside out. There are ingredients that will tone and firm your skin to keep you looking youthful. Certain ingredients will stimulate skin cell renewal so you increase your collagen and elastin. These are the cells ... |
Balanced Skincareby Frank Langella 10/6/2010 So what does balanced skincare really comprise of? The first step is to protect your skin from the harmful influences that batter it on a daily basis. When you pass through the heavily polluted air during your commute, the free radicals present in it break down the skin’s cells and also damage its Collagen fibers, making it dull and filled with lines. The sun’s UV rays increase the Melanin content in your skin and make it look darker. This also results in the deposition of melanin in some places, causing the formation of age spots. Make sure to protect your skin from these destructive forces by covering it up adequately when going outside. Using a good sunscreen will also go a long way in keeping your skin healthy and safe from damage. Now, our diets today usually lack in many essential nutrients which our skin and body need to keep in top shape and free from all kinds of problems. Eating healthy foods full of fruits and green vegetables is essential for balanced skincare; it will provide many vitamins and minerals that will keep your skin healthy and beautiful naturally. Finally, avoiding exposing your skin to chemical based creams and lotions is the most crucial point that many people miss out on. These skincare products are actually very harmful for ... |
The Best Face Cleanser Could Be Just Plain Tap Waterby Gordon P Hall 10/6/2010 The best face cleanser can improve your appearance in many ways. But, there is one important thing to remember. Over-cleansing can damage your skin. Dermatologists have seen more problems caused by over-cleansing than by poor hygiene, at least in industrialized nations. In developing countries, hygiene may still be an issue. In wealthier countries, the use of cosmetics of all kinds is one of the main reasons for dermatological visits. Cosmetic-related dermatitis affects thousands of people every day. Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin. The symptoms may include redness, burning, itching, irritation or a rash. Usually the inflammation is short-lived; resolving once the source of the irritation is found. In conditions like eczema and psoriasis, the inflammation is chronic. Sodium laurel sulfate is one example of an ingredient commonly found in facial cleansers that is a known cause of chronic problems. Yet, companies are still allowed to use it. The biggest problem with chronic inflammation is that it contributes to cellular aging. It plays a role in mutating cells, which is involved in the formation of cancerous growths. Inflammatory molecules degrade the skin’s elastic collagen fibers, which leads to sagging necklines and bags under the eyes. So, if you want the best face cleanser, you need to read the label of ingredients and avoid things that cause irritation or allergic reactions. Even if you are not allergic, you can develop sensitivities to an allergen especially if you use it every day. To maintain good hygiene on a daily basis, without over-cleansing, you can use plain tap water, a ... |

The number of it on any individual could vary from 2 to 50 or even 100. They could occur due to hereditary reasons or due to weight gain.

How To Tighten Your Face Skin Naturallyby William Colbert 10/6/2010 Is it really possible to tighten your face skin naturally? Maybe you have tried dozens of products and ended up with redness, soreness or an allergy like I did? Well, there is some good news in that I want to share a few secrets with you which very few cosmaceutical companies want you to know about. The first secret is that collagen and hyaluronic acid derived from animal sources are not going to tighten your face skin naturally. The reasons are the following. The raw material is highly processed and at very high temperatures too. This process is called hydrolyzation and there are loads of ads on the Internet still offering hydrolyzed collagen. This will not work because of the processing but also because the molecular structure is wrong. So, it can never get down to the second layer where our collagen resides. Secondly and perhaps more importantly is the fact that because it is animal derived, there is the very important question of its compatibility with our human skin. Very often, our skin will reject this material. Certainly it is not going to work at the level of skin cell renewal and it will definitely not be able to tighten your face skin naturally. Let me tell you another secret and that is about the quantities of natural organic ingredients in skincare products. Most companies know all about these but their sourcing and processing can cost the company money so they do not use them. If they do use them, they are ... |

How to Prevent Stretch Marks After a Tummy Tuckby Nick D Redding 10/6/2010 Stretch marks are lines found on the skin which develop because of tissue inflammations due to rapid or overstretching of the skin. They may form during different stages of our life. They affect both men and women. Men usually get these when they experience extreme bodily changes, like weight loss or gain and also by body building due to the rapid build-up of muscles. They are mostly found in arm and shoulder areas. In contrast to women, they get marks particularly during pregnancy where there is also an extreme stretching of the skin; women can also get stretch marks through weigh gain or loss. These are common to the abdomen, breast, legs, thighs, and arms. Naturally, women are more conscious than men. That is why they are very attentive to topics pertinent to removal products just to have the marks removed!! With the advancement of technology, it is easier to gain knowledge about the subject. Also, it is easier to purchase products that assure the removal of the marks, hence, removal products like stretch mark cream and lotion are out and inundating the market. There are also other ways to remove them aside from creams and lotions; there is a surgical treatment and natural treatment as well. However, surgical treatment is more costly, inexpedient, and thus impractical. The easier, almost effortless treatment is the employment of creams and/or lotions. There are many products today that assure they are effective but actually they are not. The best 3 stretch mark creams are TriLastin, ... |
3 Ways to Stop Excess Sweating and Get Back in the Gameby Jason Ellis 10/6/2010 There is a direct link between how much people sweat and how confident they are. If you sweat profusely then you are likely to feel less confident when in public. As well as this, if you are not confident then you are more likely to sweat as a nervous reaction. It is essentially a cycle that perpetuates itself. Excess sweating does also cause discomfort. Personally, while suffering from hyperhidrosis while sitting in a chair I have felt like I was literally swimming in a pool of my own sweat (not a nice feeling). However, even if you are naturally a confident person but still suffers from excess sweating - sweating at inopportune times WILL take a toll on your self confidence in the longer term. 1. Face the Fear In order stop excess sweating and gain confidence you need to tackle what makes you feel nervous and triggers your sweating. High anxiety can actually contribute to excess sweating. If you are an anxious person consider taking some personal time where you just relax. Don’t let the stresses of others get to you either. This can just compound your own stress and turn it into anxiety. If you feel anxious because of a specific person then consider applying an antiperspirant or aluminum chloride to the areas that are most prone to sweating before meeting with them. 2. Control the Fear Sweating is the body’s natural reaction to stress and anxiety. It is ingrained into the flight or fight response. Control that response and you will control the ... |
