Alternative Skin Care Ideas

Nov 10, 2008

Interested in alternatives to your regular beauty regimen?

Although some of these methods and ingredients have not been scientifically proven to enhance skin tone and balance of skin, a lot of people swear by these homemade remedies and treatments.

Avocados are rich in antioxidants like Vitamin E and glutathione. If you’re looking for a moisturizing treatment, mash one up and spread it on your face.

Buttermilk has lactic acid, which is a natural alpha hydroxy acid that moistens, exfoliates dead skin and plumps it up.

A wet green tea bag placed on both of your eyelids can reduce puffiness and will also regenerate new cells.

Fresh Pineapple juice contains an enzyme called bromelain. It exfoliates and removes dead skin cells; it has to be fresh juice because putting it in a can will ruin the enzyme’s effects.

Honey has antibacterial properties that can help keep bacteria off your skin and soften it up.

These treatments are just supplemental to a few main practices you should be doing every day to protect your skin. Drinking a lot of water, using sunscreen and maintaining a healthy diet will also help you get a glowing complexion.

Fun In The Sun!

Oct 13, 2008

Whether you’re out in the sun or in a tanning booth, you should always take measures to protect your skin. If you take the right precautions, you could decrease the chances of being burnt or developing skin disease. So if you want to get a deep tan without getting burnt, check out the Tanning Productsfrom I-Supplements.

· The Natural and Artificial Way – The reason you tan is because UV rays trigger cells in your skin called melanocytes which produce melanin. Melanin is the brown pigment that makes your skin darker and protects your skin from burning. But if your skin is exposed too long, the UV ray will penetrate deer and produce sun burn. That is why using tanning lotion is always a good idea before you set-out in the sun or step into a booth. A good choice would be Cheeky Brown from Australian Gold, which infuses the body with natural bronzers and essential vitamins and oils for a healthy tan.

· Moisturize – It is always a good idea to use a moisturize your skin after tanning. With this you could keep your skin soft and infuse it with nutrients to keep it looking young and healthy. Try using products such as Hempz Age Defying Herbal Moisturizer to keep your skin in good condition with essential fatty and key amino acids. Double this with Pure Intentions Body Wash to extend the life of your healthy tan.

· Tattoo Protection – You’ve invested hard earned cash into your ink, so why not protect it from the sun? With Miami Ink Tanning Products, you will be able to get a deep tan while protecting your tattoo(s) from fading.

So if you plan on spending time in a tanning booth or in the sun, be sure to protect yourself. Have fun in the sun with the wide variety of Tanning Product from I-Supplements.

Baggy Eyes, wonder why?

Sep 5, 2008

Scientists believe that the fat in the eye socket expands with time as we age. This may help those of you combat the issue because you are not quite comfortable or satisfied with your bodies’ natural progression with age.

Eyelids are not just irrelevant flaps of skin upon your face. As a matter of fact, they are incredibly crucial for protecting your eye from debris and damage. The eye and eyelid are so connected that the pressure of the eyelid on the eyeball may cause one of the most common vision troubles that effect people. Eyelid surgery, top or bottom, is more common than you might think. Nearly 241,000 U.S. residents had it performed just last year, putting it in the top four among surgical cosmetic procedures performed. Most of these surgeries don’t remove any fat, however. They just move it around or, in a more invasive move, tighten the muscle that surrounds the eye or tighten the ligament that holds the eyeball in place.

The most common treatment performed currently is the excision of fat to treat a ‘herniation of fat’ - meaning that the amount of fat in the eye socket does not change but the cover that holds the fat in place, the orbital septum, is weakened or broken and fat slips out. This orbital septum weakening or herniation-of-fat theory is what most plastic surgeons have been generally taught. However, studies show that there is actually an increase in fat as we age, and it is more likely that the fat increase causes the baggy eyelids rather than a weakened ligament, which some professionals might believe. (Currently, there have been no studies showing that the orbital septum weakens at all.) Researches though have looked at detailed MRI images of subjects between the ages of 12 and 80 on average. The findings showed that the lower eyelid tissue increased with age and that the largest contributor to this size increase was fat increase. These findings might change the way some plastic surgeons and other professionals treat the physical effects ‘baggy eyes’. Fat removal should be part of the process, the researchers figure. Or, you could just come to terms with how Mother Nature intended you to be! But if you’d rather not, then I suggest using some of these products that might assist with your issues before heading to the doctor for a little ‘snip snip’! Check out Biosil by Natrol, Dermalex-MD for Dark circles under eyes or Olivella Olive Moisture Oil for starters.

Finding A Happy Medium With Natural Skin Care Products

May 23, 2008

I just can’t get over the fact that Botox is actually a neurotoxin. Why would somebody inject that into their face, especially when it’s only a short-term fix (which means they’ll have to have a toxin injected into their face again)?

Be proactive with your skin care. If you curb harmful behaviors now, like smoking, you’ll do less damage to your skin as you age – which means you’ll look young even if you’re not. Trust me on this – when you’re my age, there’s no better thrill than being asked for ID when you order a drink.

One of my new-agey girlfriends keeps trying to sell me on using olive oil, honey and vegetables as beauty products, but I’m a bit too hung up on the fact that they come out of my fridge. I know that food and beauty have a really close relationship, but I don’t know that I’m ready for that level of cross-pollination.

Luckily, I can get the benefits of all-natural ingredients without the ambivalence – natural skin care products exist that combine organic ingredients with the emulsifiers and preservatives that give chemically-made cosmetic products their long shelf-life. So I can look great without fretting about sell-by dates.
