Acai Helps Females Lose Weight - 10 Lbs and More!

2009-08-20T16:35:00.000-07:00

By Sandra Buckingham

There are many people out there that are not losing weight and are getting annoyed.

They do not realise that the reason they are not losing-weight is because they are using the wrong sorts of things to try and lose-weight. For example some people are using unnatural pills like caffeine pills to try and lose weight. Caffeine pills can help you lose weight initially because they speed up your metabolism when you first take them.

A faster metabolism helps you to lose weight as it means you burn more calories.

However after a while of taking them your body gets used to the high levels of caffeine in the pills so you stop losing weight as your metabolism doesn't stay high. Energy drinks which also contain caffeine have the same affect on your metabolism, and like the pills only help you lose weight for a short while.

The Acai Berry naturally raises your metabolism so the body does not fight its effects and it can be used as a long term weight loss supplement. In fact, women that have used it have managed to lose up to 10 pounds of weight only after a few weeks of using it.

This is why Acai is so popular, it is a natural effective way of helping you to easily lose-weight.

The Acai Berry helps you to lose weight by speeding up your metabolism which means you burn more calories. Furthermore the Acai Berry is an anti-oxidant and helps fight toxins that are found in the body which can make you put on weight, such as free-radicals.

Acai can help you lose even more weight by cleansing your colon. Every woman should try Acai berry if they want to lose more weight.

I have found this resource for a Free Acai Berry Trial.

How to Restore Thick Full Eyelashes

2009-08-18T15:55:00.000-07:00

By Dale Kathryn Grove

Thick beautiful lashes are like putting a frame on a picture and have been a hallmark of beauty since time immemorial. With age, however many women experience thinning, brittle lashes and a less than perfect lash line. Learn how you can restore your thick, full lashes!

CAUSES OF EYELASH LOSS

First, rule out any underlying medical problems. These can be allergies to makeup, an under active thyroid, autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy, malnutrition, or certain diseases. Check with your doctor to make sure that there are no health issues or medications that could be causing the problem.

With the exception of medical issues where certain medications are the cause of eyelash loss, it is often caused by a few easily rectified problems: going to bed without removing your eye-makeup and mascara, using eye-makeup you are allergic to, the involuntary act of pulling on your eyelashes.

SOLUTIONS

Waterproof mascara is notoriously difficult to remove. Left on overnight, mascara can cause lash loss due to damage caused by involuntarily rubbing of the eyes. To prevent this use a gentle, oil free eye makeup remover. Apply on a cotton pad and hold it over the lashes for a few seconds before gently sweeping the makeup off. You may need to apply the remover a couple of times if you applied several coats of mascara in the morning. Be careful not to tug or pull at the lashes. Next cleanse your face as you normally would.

If you have a sensitivity to particular eye-makeup product you will probably notice a burning or itching after it has been applied. It may not happen right away so sometimes it can be a challenge to identify which item it is. If possible stop using anything on your eyes until the redness and itching goes away. Then use one product to check for sensitivity. If it seems fine, add one more product the next day repeating the process until you identify the product you are sensitive to. Eliminate that particular item from your daily routine and your eyelash growth should improve.

A medication for the treatment of glaucoma, XALATAN, may slowly increase growth and thickness of eyelashes however there are other side effects may make it an undesirable solution. This drug can cause permanent darkening of eye color as well as darkening of the eyelid and eyelashes, burning and stinging, eye redness and blurred vision

Once the cause for the eyelash loss is identified and solved, your lashes will start growing back. In six months you can expect a noticeable difference. Until that happens, you can use eyeliner and false eyelashes to create the appearance of thicker lashes.

Keep Hair Healthy and Make Hair Grow Faster With Coconut Oil

2009-08-12T15:22:00.000-07:00

By Aidan Rivers

There is one substance that can nourish your hair inside and out and that substance is coconut oil. The use of this oil for the hair is nothing new because ancient tribes have been using it for centuries to maintain hair health. Today, more and more people are discovering its amazing benefits and how it can make hair grow faster.

There are about one hundred thousand hair follicles on your scalp and in your lifetime, each tiny follicle will grow twenty strands. Follicles are attached to the skin and get their nourishment from the body; thus, overall health affects the condition of the hair. If our health is in bad shape, no hair cream or hair treatment, regardless of how much it costs, will be able to keep your hair healthy. Thus, it is essential to nourish hair from within.

What does coconut oil contain that make it beneficial to the hair and can make it grow faster?
Firstly, it has antibacterial, antifungal and antiparasitic properties that prevent scalp infections.
One of the causes of hair loss is scalp infection and this can be prevented by the regular application of coconut oil directly on the scalp. A scalp condition that it is effective against is dandruff, which is caused by a fungus that feeds on skin oils. If your scalp is disease-free, it is better able to promote hair growth.

Coconut oil is made up of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), a substance which has a low molecular weight and can thus easily pass through cell membranes. Because of this, it can easily penetrate the hair shaft. This action prevents the loss of proteins from the hair. Research studies indicate that it is more effective than sunflower and mineral oils in preserving hair protein.
Moreover, sebaceous glands in the follicles secrete a sebum that contains MCT, the same substance that coconut oil consists of. Beneficial bacteria in the scalp break down the MCT into fatty acids that act against disease-giving microbes. Application on the scalp will enhance this germ-fighting ability.

When taken internally, coconut oil can help regulate the thyroid function in the body and keep it normal. Thyroid glands affects the way your body manufactures protein, which is essential for healthy hair. It must be noted that hair composition is over ninety-percent protein. Moreover, the antiviral actions of coco oil do not only work on the skin and scalp. It also fights diseases within the body and as such, promotes a generally health body that can easily overcome stress, hormonal imbalance and illness.

The next time you observe your hair shedding or if you just want to make your hair grow faster, try using coconut oil. You can apply it directly on your hair and scalp; or drink a tablespoon or two in a day. This is enough to make you beautiful inside and out.

Coconut oil is an effective natural hair loss remedy. Other remedies are found at http://www.coiffurecafe.blogspot.com/

Acai Berries and Cosmetics

2009-08-11T15:56:00.000-07:00

By Dana Hawkes

Divine beauty is what everybody is looking for and if it's there we would like to keep it like that for a longer time. Since times immemorial women from all walks of life have tried to achieve this.
Various cosmetic products have been launched since long to get desired results. The manufacturing companies have had a laugh, pocketing huge turnovers over this obsession of the women folk.

Many beauty products have been bombarded into the markets claiming to transform one's beauty. After creating a huge uproar in the food and health industry the acai berries have now been introduced into the cosmetic world. Yes that's true! We all know the benefits of the acai berries and their impact on one's health, i.e. strengthening it from within. But now a new skin care product has been launched featuring the acai berries.

With a culmination of nature and science, the acai berries have been used to develop an anti-ageing facial cream. The success of this treatment lies in the fact that the acai berries are a rich source of antioxidants which in turn are known to slow down the aging process.

The inclusion of acai berries in skin treatment is likely to succeed as the berries contain vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that are useful in nourishing and toning the skin cells. The phytosterols present, help in preserving collagen and the flavanoids fight inflammation, thus making the skin nourished, healthy and acne-free.

Although the inclusion of acai berry in the cosmetics world is relatively new, it is bound to grow; the reason being the numerous benefits of the acai extract. With nearly no negative effects the acai oil can be safely used in shampoos, conditioners, anti-ageing skin treatments, body and facial creams besides a host of other cosmetic products. It is no wonder that this little berry which has meandered its way from the food industry to the cosmetic industry would make its mark even there.

Natural Organic Skin Care - Herbs Not Just For Eating

2009-08-09T16:50:00.001-07:00

By Laleh Rodriguez

Hi everyone, Hope your weekend was fabulous! I definitely enjoyed mine. So we've been talking about what you'll need when making your own organic natural skin care products. We've discussed tools, jars, oils. In today's article I'll be going over herbs. I like this part. I think growing your own little herb garden is fun and a great way to add a little green somewhere in your life. Not only can you use them for cooking, you can use them for beauty products, too. You can control the environment and what goes into them. We know that herbs have been around forever and have been used for a ton of different things. They are medicinal, nutritional, full of flavor, definitely fragrant. Their cleansing and skin-pampering properties have been respected for many, many uses. So as we go along in making our own products and you come across a herb that you really like inform yourself about it and see what it requires, how you can get the most out of it, its current and historical uses, and what the books recommend for its uses. This is an excellent way to educate yourself and will help when making your own products. So all the herds, flowers, berries, seeds, barks, and roots we will be using will be easy to find and will be used in the dried form unless noted. If you're growing your own herbs you may want to dry them yourself. If they are recently dried you'll have maximum aroma, and nutrients, this will make your product incredible.

If you are drying herbs that you've grown there's a few things you'll need to know or remember.

*Always use a sharp knife or scissors when cutting your herbs. You'll want to do this in the morning
*Harvest your roses, calendula, chamomile, or lavender when the bud is matured and the flower has recently opened
*Make sure you do not have any pests and disease on your herbs
*Avoid overdrying
*Dried herbs should be kept in a cool, dry place away fro sunlight. Glass jars, ziplock bags, plastic containers work well

When hanging your herbs to dry gather them together make a bundle and tie a string or use a rubber band to hold them together at the stems. You'll need to hang them upside down in a well ventilated area, out of the sunlight. Ideally the temperature should be between 65-85 degrees.
Don't forget to label your bundles, and keep them separated. It may take anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks or more to completely dry your herbs. If your drying roots and seeds they may take much longer due to their moisture content. When your herbs are dried they'll be a little brittle, buds will feel dry and a bit crisp, roots will be pliable, and berries, seeds, and bark will be hard and dry. You can also use a screen to dry herbs or tightly stretched out netting. This will allow it to dry quicker, and you'll want to use some cheesecloth to make sure the herbs stay debris free.
Wrap the herbs in cheesecloth, then place in the netting. If you're doing this outside make sure you check your weather!

When growing your own herbs, make sure they get the right amount of sunlight, water, and you are using good soil. It is the best way to get organic natural ingredients for your organic natural skin care products. I enjoy my herb garden and so do my family and friends! Have a great day and till next time OrganicBeautyGirl...

Nose Hair Removal

2009-08-05T15:31:00.000-07:00

By Cindy L.

Unwanted hair is something that we all have to deal with whether you are a man or a woman.
Some hair on certain body parts showing is worse than others. One of those places that shouldn't be shown is the nose. There are many people walking around with a bush of nose hair hanging down and if you are one of them and you're reading this, then you're looking for a way to help you get rid of them. This article will be about the different methods of nose hair removal and the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

The first method that is probably the most common is to simply cut the nose hair with scissors. This can work pretty well and it's quite fast. You will want to buy scissors that have a rounded off tip so that you don't poke yourself while using them. The disadvantage of using scissors is that you have to make sure you get every piece of hair that is hanging out and that can sometimes be hard since some of them tend to be somewhat bend and out of sight but pop out when you're in front of your date. It happens.

The next method of nose hair removal is using one of those electronic nose trimmers. These can be found online for under $20. The good thing about using this method is that it's faster than cutting with scissors. The disadvantage is that when the blades get dull, it can hurt your nose since it tends to yank the hair instead of cutting through it and if you have ever pull a nose hair out, you know it can be quite painful.

Another method is to actually pull out the nose hair. This may sound extremely painful but for many people, it's a better solution since the hair won't become thick like it normal does when you cut or trim it. This can take a while to do as well as being painful. After a while, the pain will decrease since you will get used to it but that may take some time.

These are short-term nose hair removal solutions to an embarrassing problem that needs to be done if you want to not have people staring at those nose hairs hanging out. Some people don't want to bother, especially men, but it's just part of the grooming process to make yourself look nice.

Cindy writes about different topics such as nose hair removal and such products like the nose hair clipper.

Cut Hair at Home - Easy First Steps

2009-08-04T15:44:00.000-07:00

By Dave Simpson

There are many reasons why you might want to learn to cut hair at home. We all like to save money and a visit to the salon can be an expensive affair these days, or maybe you see cutting hair as a nice and easy way to earn a little cash on the side. In any case, I am glad to be able to tell you that cutting your own hair - or other peoples - is not actually as hard as it seems.

This short article will tell you the basics and then show you how you can go on to make a really professional job of cutting hair.

Every tradesman needs a good set of tools and you are no exception so first up get a set of hair clippers and a pair of hairdressers scissors. Don't shell out on expensive brands, unless you really want to, just get some that feel good to you. You should ensure that the razor comes with plenty of guide combs which will enable you to cut hair at home to a variety of different lengths as well as a range of different hair types.

Once you have your clippers make sure you oil them up. Next, we turn our attention to the victim - I mean the customer - make sure they have washed their hair and dried it as you want the hair to be clean but not wet as this will clog up your clippers. When you cut hair at home and not in a salon you have to ensure you have plenty of room to work. You must ensure that you can reach all parts of the head at a variety of angles to ensure a clean smooth cut. When you have cut the hair to the desired length and style, remember to tidy up, remove the guides of the clipper and razor trim the sideburns.

Practice makes perfect when trying to cut hair at home, don't worry if its not perfect first time - as long as your customer doesn't mind either of course. I have only touched on the basic of course, but there I would recommend that you get a good guide on how to cut hair at home, just follow one of my links to the best one I know of.

Thank You

Best Makeover Tools For Women of Color

2009-08-03T16:45:00.000-07:00

By Dorian Price

If you are looking for a great makeover tool because you don't want to take the plunge and cut your hair or buy tons of makeup - I've compiled a short list of the makeover tools I've experimented with and gave me the best results.

Essence.com Makeover Tool: I think this is the best makeover tool for women of color. You can either upload your image or choose and image from their database. I think they give the best selection of images since women of color come in so many shades. When you select a hiarcut or makeup color, the results are very realistic. This tool gives the best depiction of of what you would look like from a complete makeover.

E.L.F. Virtual Makeover: The ELF makeover tool allows you to also upload an image or select a model. You can also select from a wide selection of hairstyles and makeup. However the tool is not very user friendly. After many click throughs and testing you evently figure out how to change your hairstyle from short dark styles to long dark styles. The bonus with using their virual makeover tool is you can buy products from the site with the click of a few buttons.

Instyle Vitual Makeover: The Instyle Vitual Makeover has the same inventory of models as the E.L.F. site. I thought the selection of hairstyles to be varied and they worked well when tested on the models. I really like the color wheels when selecting lipcolors, eyecolors, etc. and they did a good job with the brands you can test on their site. I think their makeover tool is well put together but the amount of women of color is limited, which is understandable due to the amount of women they need to cater to.

iVillage Makeover: Not a very good makeover tool at all. The selection of models are limited with only woman of color. I thought the hair styles were OK, but when applied to the model it was very wiggy. The makeup colors are not very apparent on the skin and it is hard to know if they are a good match. I would not recommend this tool at all.

Well this is my list. If you have others that you have used, let me know since I am always loooking for useful information.

Indoor Tanning Lotions

2009-08-01T15:46:00.000-07:00

By Jackie Panin

If your going to use a tanning bed, you have to use an indoor tanning lotion. One without the other is not allowing you to get your fullest tanning experience. I know that sometimes it seems like tanning lotions can be quite expensive and pointless. Expensive, maybe but pointless, not so much. Different lotions are made to do different things. Picking out and understanding tanning lotions can be overwhelming and quite confusing. There are basically three different kinds of indoor tanning lotion. Accelerators, bronzers, and a tingler.

The first type of tanning lotion is a basic accelerator. An accelerator is a product that will boost the level of tanning cells in your skin. These are great for a beginning tanner with pale or sensitive skin. Many of these have great anti-aging elements in them.

Bronzers are another type of indoor tanning lotion, bronzers are gaining a lot in popularity lately. Bronzers have a product called DHA in them that actually die your skin. It is very suttle though and does not look bad or fake. You do have to be careful while applying a bronzer lotion because if applied the wrong way or uneven it could look streaky. You may also want to wait a few hours after using the bronzer to shower, because it can take awhile for the bronzer to set.

The other type of tanning lotion is a tingler. These should be used with caution. Some say to test a small portion of skin before using on your whole body. Tingler tanning lotions can range from very low tingle factor to a high tingle factor, which should only be used by an experienced tanner with a good base tan. Tingler lotions work by increasing the melanin in your skin and causing you to tan faster than you normally would.

These are just the general categories that tanning lotions are broken in to, but it gets much more complex from Hemp tanning lotions and after tan moisturizers and there are even tanning lotions that are only for your face, called facial tanning lotions. Depending on your preferences and skin type you can decide what kind of tanning lotion is right for you.

When Your Kids Should Start Wearing Deodorant

2009-07-30T16:28:00.000-07:00

By Megan Winegar

Deodorant is one of those cultural things that seems crucially important, especially to the people who are just starting to use it. Since adults (at least American adults) are so obsessed with how they smell, how can we expect teenagers (who are obsessed with anything and everything that makes them different) not to be? The question is when is it a good idea to approach your kids about wearing deodorant as part of a good hygiene program?

Younger kids do sweat, but most don't need deodorant until they hit puberty, which is the time when they start producing odor when they sweat.

Unfortunately, no one is quite the same when it comes to this kind of thing. Puberty hits girls anywhere from ages 8-14 and boys anywhere from 9-15, and not everyone experiences it the same way. Some kids will be fine as long as they are showering every day, while others will need more than that, especially if they are active. The best thing to do is to realize that your child may be approaching this time in his or her life, and making sure to let him or her know when you feel it may be necessary to avoid embarrassment.

In the beginning, your child may be able to get by with just deodorant if he or she doesn't have noticeable sweat stains. As the child gets older, antiperspirants will probably become necessary, beginning with some that are marketed for teens. As teens get older, they may want to switch to more adult brands - these are both stronger at blocking body odor, and also seem more "adult" in smells and packaging.

Students that have physical education classes should have deodorant to put on after those classes in their lockers, especially if they aren't using antiperspirants. Going to a P.E. class and then feeling smelly for the rest of the day doesn't do much for the self-esteem.

The main thing is to talk to your child sensitively about some of the changes that will be going on. Needing deodorant is certainly one of the smaller ones as long as your child doesn't have a traumatic experience with being the smelly kid, so keep the lines of communication open early.

Waxing Procedures You Can Go For

2009-07-29T15:39:00.000-07:00

By A Aaronson

Waxing can be scary territory for those who have never tried it before. It isn't the sort of subject most young girls talked about with their moms, and it isn't exactly easy to bring up to friends without feeling slightly embarrassed. So what are the different kinds of procedures and how are they performed? Here are the basics to help you make the right choice at the salon.

Facial
There are many different types of facial waxing procedures. Most popular ones are upper lip and the eyebrows waxing; although, it is not uncommon for women to request chin waxes and even cheek waxes. The area to be waxed is cleaned and the pores opened up with a warm washcloth.

The aesthetician then uses a small wooden spatula to spread a thin layer of wax over the unwanted hair. In one quick motion, the wax is ripped away in the opposite direction of the growth. The procedure is repeated until all hair is removed. If any stubborn stray hairs remain, tweezers are used to pluck them out.

Legs and Arms
The legs and arms are performed in the same way as facial waxing, except larger areas of wax are spread onto the body. The aesthetician may use either muslin strips to remove the wax or will use wax that hardens and is then peeled off with no other assistance. Baby powder or another kind of soothing ointment will be spread over the area to help ease pain and calm the skin.

Bikini
This is where waxing steps into scarier territory. A bikini wax is where the hair is removed from any area that cannot be covered by a swimsuit. This generally includes the inside of the thighs, below the navel, and near the sides of the pubic area that are visible outside the bikini area.

Some women find it helpful to wear their swimsuit, but you may choose to wear any sort of undergarments you prefer. Although slightly uncomfortable, a good aesthetician will ensure little pain and embarrassment.

Brazilian
A Brazilian wax is an extension of a bikini. This method removes practically every hair in the pubic area. Some women prefer to leave a small amount above the genitalia. The aesthetician will either ask or you may request a strip (or even another shape) to be left untouched.

You will have to remove all of your clothing from the waist down; although you may be offered a small paper thong for privacy (this will have to be moved later). The aesthetician may require you to move into a variety of different positions in order to gain maximum access to successfully remove them.

A professional aesthetician will be adept at making client feel comfortable exposing themselves and undergoing these highly personal procedures. Choose a well-experienced waxing specialist or ask friends for recommendations.

For waxing, Vernon Hills based spas offer the best procedures that can help you feel confident about yourself. Enhance your looks and boost your self-esteem. To know more, visit http://www.newtrendmedicalspa.com/

How Lavender Got Into Your Body Wash

2009-07-28T15:59:00.000-07:00

By Will Edison

Lavender, a small popular flower that is found throughout the world and is known for its fragrant aroma and various uses, is actually steeped in history and is more than just an interesting little plant. The oldest records of lavender use date back to ancient times and there are records of its use in historical Syria, Egypt, and Israel, as well as many other corners of the Middle East. In biblical times, lavender was noted as a "holy herb" and its use in the ancient Israelite Temple is well documented and even mentioned in the Old Testament.

In ancient Greece, lavender was also known as Nard, named after the Syrian town from which it had been introduced and in the Rome of the Caesars, lavender was an expensive and greatly prized commodity that could be afforded only by the wealthy elite. Most often found in the Roman bathhouses, where it was used at first simply to scent the water, lavender eventually came to be associated with bathing and cleaning the skin in general and it was here, most likely, that the first ever Lavender Body Wash was born.

Today, lavender can be found in a whole host of bath and beauty product with soaps, face scrubs and cleaners, and shampoos being among the most popular. This trend is not just owing to the fact that lavender packs a deliciously fruity and flowery fragrance but also because of the plant's storied medicinal purposes as well. Most notably, the oils or extract produced by the plant is said to have antiseptic as well as healing properties and according to some, when diluted with water and witch hazel, lavender oil can even be an effective acne treatment. Of course, this same essential oil is the active ingredient in many bottles of shampoo, soap, and Lavender Body Wash and is responsible for the refreshingly cool or mildly tingly sensation some feel when using lavender products.

As far as how Lavender Body Wash is used, most find it the perfect accompaniment for a sponge or loufa. Often times used while bathing or showering, this combination can make for an amazingly refreshing shower or bath or even an all out exfoliation session. When using body wash always remember that a little goes a long way, requiring just a dollop to get a good lather, which helps ensure that you get the most out of every bottle - especially during these tough economic times.

As you can see, lavender has come a long way from its humble beginnings. Once a treat enjoyed only by the wealthiest of wealthy, we know find lavender in our homes in the form of Lavender Body Wash or scented candles and hand soaps. We come across lavender so often, in fact, that we take it for granted. The next time you wash your hands, and smell that familiar fragrance, imagine how different your life might be without it. Perhaps then you will find a great appreciation for this most interesting, yet humble, flower.

How to Remove Unwanted Hairs (For Men)

2009-07-26T16:48:00.000-07:00

By Monica C.

There are many, many options to choose from if you want to get rid of the unnecessary hairs in different parts of your body. From your mustache to extra hair in your backside, there's surely a method that would be simply perfect for your time, finances and needs. Welcome to the exceedingly variegated world of hair removal.

The Power of Bleaches

While it's not hair removal per se, you can easily use chemical bleaches to camouflage those unsightly hairs. The usual problem with extra hair is that they tend to draw attention to themselves. You can either use bleach like hydrogen peroxide or skin lightening treatments for this option. The effect would be quick if you're using hydrogen peroxide; the hair would turn to a blond hue quickly. However, make sure you don't touch your hair if your hands have the stuff; you can easily botch your hair.

Bleaching does not necessitate you to trim or shave off the beard or mustache. The facial hair would only be following a color that is more apt for fair skin tones (this method applies well only to people with fair skin).

Depilatories

You're not stuck with shaving; in fact, you can buy depilatories if you want naturally/ synthetically derived chemicals to do the hair removal for you. But make sure you get a quality depilatory cream or ointment; some ingredients may cause irritation to the skin. You wouldn't want an allergy just because you want to remove extra hair. Take note that different creams have different "staying" times.

Read the instructions carefully and apply only the recommended amount. In addition, don't leave the cream, lotion or ointment on too long! If the medical literature states that the product should only stay on your skin for 5 minutes, wash it off after 5 minutes. This would ensure your skin's safety. The results of different products vary as widely as the people who buy and use them. Don't expect too much, especially if it's your first time to use one.

Plucking It Off

Like all mechanical depilation methods, plucking off the hairs has its own peculiar set of benefits and disadvantages. The main benefit is that you have complete control of the hair removal process and you're not spending a dime more on unnecessary skin products.

The downside is that you cannot pluck wide swaths of skin (such as chest hairs and back hairs) and if you pluck too much, the skin ends up with a goose pimple appearance. This applies especially to the armpits and the chin area; some men like plucking off their chin hairs than shaving them. If you're not gentle enough, you might end up with goose pimple-like formations on your chin, too.

Is there a way to halt the formation of the hair? Fortunately, yes. If the tweezing becomes habitual through the years, you just might cause enough selective damage to the root hairs to cause a permanent cessation of new hair growth. However, we're not saying that you should get your metal tweezers and start poking your skin. Leave your skin be and let nature take its course.

How to Go Glam

2009-07-25T17:05:00.000-07:00

By Sharifa Black

There are some things in life that every woman needs to know. At the top of the list is how to be a glamour-puss. So you don't have "hair down to there" or long luscious eyelashes, or even an Angelina Jolie pout. There is no reason you can't fool people into thinking that you do. Here are 5 ways to fake your way to the look that every girl wants.

A Mesmerizing Mouth
Use a plumping lip gloss to get the kind of pumped up pout that every woman is vying for these days. Try Du Wop Venom, the notorious lip plumping gloss.

Luxurious Locks
You can't afford Ken Paves but you can still get the look of glam hair without breaking the bank. Extensions! Try out his line of extensions, called HairDo.

Eye-catching Lashes
Get that "come hither stare" by elongating your lashes. Try false lashes by Shu Uemura; they offer a look for every woman, from natural to couture.

Sun-kissed Skin
Look like you just spent the day at the beach but without the heavy saltwater smell and bits of sand stuck to you. Get your glow from a bottle. Try out Neutrogena's Build a Tan Gradual Sunless Tanner with SPF 15 or try Jergens Natural's Natural Glow Revitalizing
Daily Moisturizer for a softer glow.

Killer Curves Invasive surgery is not the only way to get a body that stops traffic. Opt for body slimming undergarments. They pull, push, and hold everything in place to give you the perfect Coke bottle figure.

How to Use Makeup to Look Mesmerizing

2009-07-21T17:01:00.000-07:00

By Janice Wee and Janice Tham

My guy was mesmerized by a picture of a Japanese star. He found her ordinary looking in her other photos but in this one, she looked gorgeous.

Same girl. Similar outfits. Yet, in one photo she was mesmerizing, in another, just like every other girl.

The difference?

Her eyes. In particular held his attention. That and her sensual lips. The way her mouth was slightly open, suggestively in those pictures.

Well, for starters, her eyes looked much bigger in that photo than in the other pictures. Here, the makeup artist employed eye makeup, for that smoky eye look.

That, paired with ultra long lashes give a girl mesmerizing eyes.

That is a tricky look to apply. Done wrongly, it can make eyes look smaller. Or worse still, it can make a girl look really old.

Done correctly, eyes look sultry and much bigger.

The trick is not to rim the entire eye.

Here's what you can do.

First, use foundation and concealer if you must to create the illusion of perfect skin. If you need a touch of color, apply a rosy blush on cheeks, with a very light hand. For a hint of color. Spritz with water to set the makeup. Then place a kleenex over your face to soak up the excess moisture.

The eyes:

1. Line eyes with a dark brown eye liner pencil or khol:

Draw as close as possible along the upper lash line. Start from the inner corner of the upper eye lid and thicken the line as you move from mid eye onwards.

Draw as close as possible along the lower lash line. Line from the middle of the eye outwards.

2. Use the flat side of an eye shadow brush and go over the liner. Smudge slightly to soften the look.

3. Open up the eyes with long lush lashes. Get false eyelashes, follow the instructions and put them on. Use this lash kit to help you get started. Or you could use a lash curler on your eye lashes, then a lash-building mascara to make your eyelashes ultra long.

The lips:

1. Pick a lipstick in a soft, rosy pink shade.
2. Use a lip brush to paint the lipstick onto your lips.
3. Apply a pink lip gloss over your lips for that mouth-watering shine that makes your lips look oh so sensual.

How to Wash Your Hair With Conditioner

2009-07-20T15:15:00.000-07:00

By Megan Winegar

Why would you skip shampoo and just use conditioner? It's been trending around for awhile now, and so far it hasn't gone away. Is the conditioner-only wash for you?

Shampoo - even gentle shampoo - contains chemicals that dry out your hair. Shampoo cleans the unwanted dirt and oil out of your hair, but it also strips your hair of the oils that it needs. That means that your hair gets dried out and your scalp works overtime trying to produce more oils to make up for the ones that are missing.

The idea behind conditioner-only washing is that you eliminate those chemicals that strip your hair and just add moisture. Complete elimination of shampoo doesn't work for everyone, but it does work for some people. Here are some steps and options for cutting down on the 'poo.

First, don't go off shampoo cold turkey. Your hair will be greasy and gross (which may happen a little bit, but not as much if you ease into it). Start by not using shampoo a couple of times a week and just washing with conditioner. You might also try not washing your hair every day when you do this.

When you wash with conditioner only, you can either wash your hair with just water and then follow it up with conditioner as usual, or you can scrub your hair with conditioner and follow it up with moisturizing conditioner.

When you wash your hair with conditioner, start with a wet head. Use plenty of conditioner.
You'll want to scrub your scalp with your fingers - probably harder than you would with shampoo, since there's no lather to help you along.

Make sure that you rinse very thoroughly. Conditioner can build up in your hair and attract more dirt if you don't make sure to get your hair really clean.

If you need to shampoo once a week or so to really get a deep clean, it shouldn't mess up your goals. This is common with this kind of cleaning.

This probably isn't for everyone, but for people with dry and damaged hair (especially anyone who regularly uses heat styling) it can really help to restore your hair to something softer and healthier.

Secrets of Beauty Care

2009-07-19T15:40:00.000-07:00

By Soobash Badal

All through the ages men and women have been taking care of their skin and body. The care given to maintain the shape of the body and the facial features is very old habit. To have a face glowing with healthy skin and attractive features is everyone's dream. Everyone wants to know the secrets of beauty care.

To care for your face and skin you have to select products that contain cocoa and mango butters, lemongrass, vanilla and clove oils with avocado, papaya and macadamia. All these ingredients are used in skin care products. Some skin care products nowadays are made up of many synthetic ingredients containing chemicals which are harmful for your skin and won't help in beauty care.
Generally the beauty care products are made of petrochemical by-products; synthetic fragrances; cheap chemical fillers and chemical preservatives with a small amount of natural ingredients like vitamin E, Shea or Cocoa Butter to produce the cream. This cream won't help your skin at all, but in the long run will harm the skin.

To have a proper beauty care is to start using the products which contain more of fruits, plant oils or nuts. These ingredients have been used throughout the ages to heal and nourish the skin and also to treat sickness and aliments. The nut, fruit, vegetable extract are rich in vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and emollients. They are added to clays and minerals and make wonderful sources of nutrition for the skin. The modern skin care products contain only small amounts of natural ingredients. So to care properly for your beauty you have to start using the natural products.

The skin around your eyes is very thin and needs special care, so to do so you should use a very hydrating face cream and apply it around your eyes, so it will keep your skin tight and glowing.
All the skin care and beauty products have ingredients that are beneficial for the skin while others that are harmful. So when choosing a beauty product the good ingredients should be present in high quantities in order to give the best results. The best skin care products are made of natural ingredients avoiding chemicals, preservatives and fillers.

To give a proper beauty care you can use genuine natural and organic skin care products made from ingredients that will support and complement your skin's natural processes. Another age old secret of beauty care is to have lots of salad in your food. Salad not only helps you keep your skin glowing, but also, helps in keeping your body weight maintained. The more fatty food you will have, it will become very difficult to maintain a healthy looking and glowing skin.

Proper sleep and rest are also necessary for beauty care. If you are not having proper rest, then you will have dark circles under your eyes and this will affect your beauty in the long run. Too much of alcohol drinking is also harmful for the skin and beauty care. After a while it starts showing on your skin. Having a healthy lifestyle and using natural ingredients are the best ways to take care of your beauty.

How to Be More Confident About Your Body This Summer

2009-07-18T15:49:00.000-07:00

By Julie Samuel

Although this is far from ideal, such is life and there is absolutely no need to despair. Modern technology and some other very smart people have provided enough options to quick-fix yourself into being more confident this summer, despite your dress size.

Go Smooth

Smooth, silky skin will make you look and feel loads better, and in turn boost your confidence dramatically. This does mean its time to get going with the buffing and preening, however this is a job well-worth the effort. Going hairless is your first step- shave, pluck or wax yourself gorgeous, it doesn't matter how you get there, but smoother, hairless skin will automatically boost morale. Exfoliating and moisturizing are also key tools in creating a smoother you. Regular exfoliation will not only make your skin glow, but used repeatedly can also stimulate circulation and reduce the appearance of cellulite. The moisturizer will just help create supple, glowing skin and that in itself can make you instantly more confident.

Bronze

Nothing will do more for your confidence than a decent tan. A tanned, bronzed physique can perform wonders. It will make you appear slimmer, more toned and healthier. The multitude of options available also means that you can achieve this healthy glow in a matter of a few a minutes. Self-tanners do tend to take a little longer to work, however there are some great bronzers on the market too, which take mere minutes to turn you into a bronzed goddess. For the ultimate confidence boost- use BOTH! A decent self-tan job, highlighted with some bronzer will leave you glowing.

Suit your Suit

So you are not quite happy with what stares back at you from the bathroom mirror. The sight isn't exactly doing much for your confidence or self-esteem either, but, yet again, there is a quick-fix waiting to save the day. It is as simply as wearing clothing that suits and flatters, particularly when it comes to your beach attire. Different shapes simply need to be dressed differently, and the illusions you can create using some simple principles, are nothing short of amazing.

In with the Water, out with the Salt!

The ultimate quick-fix in order to enhance confidence levels is to simply tackle unnecessary bloating. In order to give the appearance of a slimmer waistline and reduce water retention, drink lots of water and cut down on your sodium (salt) intake. This is one of the most effective strategies in improving your appearance, specifically around the stomach area. This simple daily routine should also help increase energy, improve you sleep and contribute to a better complexion.

Surgical Solutions

Although being realistic about the fallacy of human perfection is important, there also does come a time when surgical options to enhance your appearance may become a real option. If you have problem areas that simply can't be tackled with regular exercise and healthy diet, cosmetic surgery may provide an alternative way to increase confidence. Without looking to create a Barbie doll- like figure, sometimes no amount of tan, exfoliation and correct dressing can help to hide a part of your body which may be of particular concern. In this case, it is important to know that there is an option out there for you. The UK has some highly qualified and professional companies out there who are able to offer lipo at some reasonable rates, making it more accessible than ever before.

How to Use Hair Gel

2009-07-17T15:30:00.000-07:00

By Megan Winegar

Hair gel is one of the trickiest hair products to use effectively. While it can really add definition to a hair style, it can also look stiff and unnatural if it isn't used with a certain amount of finesse. It makes sense - the purpose of gel is to make hair stiff so that it will stay in place - but it should still look natural.

Gel can work with every kind of hair style, but it shouldn't be used the same way with each.
Here's a quick overview of ways that gel can be effective:

In wet or dry hair, gel can make quick spikes.

Small amounts of gel can give updos or braids a smoother look and hold frizz in place.

A little gel in the roots can add volume to a hair style (we'll come back to this).

A little gel scrunched into natural curls can add definition.

Make sure that when you buy your styling gel, you consider your hair type. Most gels are made for specific types - short, curly, fine, etc. You should also consider the look you want to achieve with your gel. Some gels can give a nice light hold when used with a diffuser and hair dryer, while others are made for a stiffer hold, as with men's gel.

Once you've got a gel you can use, there are a few guidelines that will help to make everything work more effectively. First, don't put a lot of gel on on the ends of your hair. This weighs your hair down and may counteract any body you're getting from the gel. Avoid applying gel to any one area of the hair - this doesn't make the gel hold better, it just makes your hair look clumpy and globby. Gel typically works better for fine or medium hair. Very thick hair can be styled with gel, but it's more difficult. Make sure to find gel with extra hold or gel for thick hair if possible.

Wash your hair before you style it, and decide whether you want a wet or dry look when you finish. If you want a wet look, apply gel while the hair is still damp and let it air dry. If you want a dry look, apply it to damp or dry hair, but if it's still damp, use a diffuser or carefully dry your hair into the style you want. For very short hair, applying gel to dry hair is a great way to create quick spikes. Dry hair needs less gel than wet hair, so if you want a dry look, make sure to apply sparingly and rub your hands together first to help the gel to spread more evenly.

Outdoor Versus Indoor Tanning - Who Wins?

2009-07-16T16:55:00.000-07:00

By John Catech

The first and most obvious point of discussion when it comes to outdoor versus indoor tanning is control. Many a person has received a sunburn on a cloudy day erroneously believing the absence of a visual sun signified need for cautious protection. Silly fools!

The only combatant a sun worshiper can have is the use of either an effective sun block or a tanning lotion that will regulate just what effect exposure to the sun may have. Yes, like its artificial counterpart, "users" can regulate the time exposed to ultra violet (UV) rays, thus controlling somewhat of the effect. And, both blocking type and tanning lotions are manufactured with varying levels of effect, the former allowing increased (or decreased) protection while the latter can offer varying levels that enhance the overall tanning process.

Additionally, outside tanners must be forever conscious of all the varying nuances that have effect on the bronzing process like time or year, day, location taking in the sun and other factors that can fluctuate making outdoor exposure less controllable.

The advantage visiting a tanning salon is the immediate access to control. Your skin will tan using UV light just as it would outdoors. However, emission of this light is easily controlled through machine settings and, unlike the vagaries of outdoor tanning, will not subject participants to accidental "sunburns" when following the tanning bed, and salon operator's, instructions. Try grabbing a hold of the controls when sitting outside lounging by the pool.

Therefore, when seeking greater control of the sunburn process, by all means, go outside and sit for awhile. Indoor tanning in a controlled environment is not only safer, it is more efficient. It can also be far more convenient. It's tough to maintain an outdoor-produced tan during inclement weather, even when living in the tropics. Repeated days of stormy, rainy weather inhibit constant tanning sessions whereas patronizing a commercial tanning salon limits your sessions to that establishment's hours of operation. Also, indoor tanning can happen at night.

Plus, controlled doses of UV rays can be beneficial to people suffering from psoriasis or osteoporosis since exposure to UV rays can produce the necessary Vitamin D used to combat these conditions. Anyone who is under a doctor's care for prescribed UV exposure can benefit from frequenting an indoor tanning salon. The benefits from exposure to UV rays are many.
Always consult with a qualified physician before undergoing any UV treatment you might believe is beneficial. If your doctor agrees, weather conditions won' keep you from daily sessions when using indoor tanning solutions. Through using a controlled environment, you eliminate the wide differences in intensity accompanying exposure to natural sunlight. Therefore, you'll gain greater control of both skincare and possible healthcare.

While one can obtain a tan under natural conditions, the safer process is to employ the use of a professional tanning bed that controls the UV rays. Additionally, there are no government agencies regulating the outdoor tanning industry as there are that oversee commercial tanning salons. Equipment is inspected, verified and certified as are the business owners who go through instruction and become license and certified. Through their experience, salon operators gain a great deal of specific tanning knowledge that they use when guiding customers to pleasant and productive experiences.

Oily skin is one of the common problems teenagers and even adults are dealing with today. And with all the pollution and diet we are having now, the problems of will only get worse.

Because of the hormonal shift of growing up, it is much more common in teenagers but it can also happen at any age even if as we tend to grow older the skin tends to become more dryer. This often occurs during pregnancy and menopause because hormonal imbalances can also lead to an upset of the oil balance thus increasing the activity of the oil producing sebaceous glands.

How Often Should You Wash Your Hair?

2009-07-12T16:10:00.000-07:00

By Gloria Smith

Many people want to have great hair most of the time. We use shampoo to clean it and we give it a trim or a new style whenever we feel like it. But more than the styling, proper hair cleaning and maintenance are very important.

Isn't it that personal hygiene covers the entire body of a person? That's right. It is, therefore, called upon us to clean our whole body every day from heat to foot. Sometimes, though, not every one of us will agree that hair should be washed every day. There are some people who believe that daily use of shampoo and conditioner is harmful to the hair that it could lead to dryness.

The truth is that you are not causing harm to your hair if you wash it every day. What matters are the products (shampoo and conditioner) you use, the amount you apply on your hair and the temperature of the water you use. In choosing your shampoo, make sure to pick the one that fits your hair type - oily, dry or limp.

Next step is to choose the right water temperature when washing your hair. Go for the warm temperature which means it should not be too hot. Using hot water can take away your skin's natural oils leading to flakes or dandruff.

After you have prepared your water, it's time to get your shampoo. But wait, remember to pour only a sufficient amount into your palm and then massage it gently on your hair and scalp as you work up a lather. When massaging your scalp, use the balls of your fingertips and do gentle circular motions for about 10 seconds. A massage helps in blood circulation and in getting rid of dead skin cells as well as oil. Just make sure to avoid tangling your hair.

Other than the shampoo, the conditioner is another product used for the hair. This is meant for the hair and not the scalp. Its goal is to smooth the hair cuticles and de-tangle the hair strands after shampooing. Hair experts, however, recommend using the regular conditioners rather than the leave on or two-in-one type.

Rinsing is a critical part of washing your hair. The best way to do it, according to the professional hairdressers, is to stand under running water to ensure that no residue is left on your hair.
Additionally, rinse twice if possible.

Now that you've washed your hair clean, drying and combing come next. Ideally, towel drying is best. Pat your hair gently using a towel making sure that there's no water dripping and then let it dry the natural way. It's okay to use a hair dryer but you have to do it right. To avoid damaging your hair, hold the dryer about six inches away from your head first using the high speed and temperature and lowering it as your hair starts to dry. You can turn off the dryer every now and then when your hair is still damp. It's not advisable that you totally dry your hair with the device as it can result in split ends and breakage.

Learn How to Curl Hair

2009-07-10T15:36:00.000-07:00

By Arjuna Bravia

You always see the red carpet models showing off their immaculate, bouncy and shiny hair, which looks like they have just stepped out of an exclusive salon. However, this look is achievable in your own home. So don't waste your time any longer by wondering how to curl hair!

Firstly, you will need a good pair of straighteners which are not too wide. Always remember to use heat defense products too, as the curls can become frizzy if not used. A light hair spray is a good finishing touch to ensure long lasting curls which won't drop out all day.

To start, section your hair out and only work with a small bit at a time. Get a section of hair about an inch wide, spray on the heat defense and clamp the straighteners at the root. Then twist it, using your wrist, up and toward your face so that the hair is folded over completely.
Slowly pull the straighteners down keeping the hair twisted all the time.

Once you reach the end of the hair, it should immediately bounce back up. If this has not happened it could be due to one of three reasons; your straighteners are not hot enough, your hair was too greasy (or you used too much defense spray), or you didn't pull tight enough on the initial curl. If any of these happens, don't give up. Just leave that part and go back to it later.

Once you reach the top layer of hair, you might want to be a little more careful. Make sure that the hair surrounding your face curls into it and doesn't stick away from it. Do this by using the straighteners to manage which direction the hair goes in.

Once you are happy, lightly spray with hairspray all over and let your wild side out.

Congratulations, you have just learned how to curl hair!

Simple Natural Steps to Remove Facial Hair Quickly

2009-07-09T15:07:00.000-07:00

By Susan Jordan

We usually think of facial hair being only on men, but it is a fact that lots of women have it too. This hair can be around the lips, especially on the upper lip, on the chin, on the nose between the eyes, or on the sides of the cheeks. Unwanted hair can occur on any woman, but, as women get a bit older - and especially during or after menopause - facial hair concerns become even more common. Because of the commonness of this problem, and also because of the cultural need for women to be free of it, more and more women are looking for simple, natural steps to remove facial hair.

The number one rule is to never, ever shave facial hair, ladies. Just ask any man; if you shave it, it grows back quickly and thicker than it was before. One simple way to remove it is to tweeze or pluck it out. This works best when there is just a stray hair here and there, of course. If you have a whole area of facial hair, you will need something more than tweezers.

Waxing facial hair is very common and can be simple and effective; if you don't like the idea of putting all those pre-made waxes on your face, you can try a simple, natural homemade wax.
Honey, heated up in the microwave, is a good, simple, natural alternative to manufactured wax.
If you want to wax, what you do is this. Heat up he wax or wax alternative in the microwave until it is warm but not too hot.

Once it is a spreadable texture, get a Popsicle stick and apply it to the hair. Whichever way the hair is growing, apply it in the same direction. Do a small section at a time. Then, get a small piece of hair-removal cloth, and apply it over top of the wax. Make sure it sticks well to the face.
Then, take one hand and pull the skin tight. With the other hand, remove the cloth by pulling in the opposite direction of the hair growth. Pull really fast! All or most of the hair will come right out. Use tweezers to pluck ant tough strays. Repeat everywhere it is necessary.

Makeup For Redheads

2009-07-08T16:13:00.000-07:00

By Merilee Paige

If you are a red head and fair skinned, keep your make up as natural looking as possible and use makeup that would highlight your features and give you a healthy glow. Having red hair naturally presents a look of warm skin, but it sometimes makes you look too pink. Use makeup that has more earthy tones or are gold based.

Neutral Foundations
Use foundation bases that are neutral or beige. Avoid using pink tones that will make you look paler or olive tones that can make you look sick. The second lightest shade of Ivory of the Mary Kay makeup cream to powder line is excellent. For those who prefer not to wear makeup, Clinique Superfit Makeup is able to cover wrinkles, flaws, blotches and gives one of the best coverage. It also has a yellowish-base tone product that can be easily be blended into your skin.

Use Soft Blush makeup
A red head can look dramatic and vibrant if you use a soft blush in a reddish-brown shade. If you have peaches and cream complexion, try using blushes that come in very soft pink, sheer pale pinks or sheer peaches. Kevyn Aucoin powder blushes has a nice collection of peaches and pale pink blushes. You can also dust a little gold on your cheek bones to make you look vibrant.

Eye Shadow for Blue Eyes
Keep your blue eyes glowing with neutral brownish colors that can contrast your pale skin. Neutral eye shadow shades look casual but polished. Soft pastels in lilacs, a nice bronze shadow, mid-browns, rich chocolates and champagnes can be used for everyday wear, while greens, plums, and blue shades give a more dramatic look.

Eye Liner
You can put a shimmery bronze or copper eye liner like those of Merle Norman Goldspice or Urban Decay Baked liner to make your eyes light up. Also try the Almay eye shadow Intense I-Color. Their color collections for liners, eye shadows, and mascara can enhance your eye color. The Glimmers collection of Bare Escentuals has a good selection.

Mascara
Use dark brown or red brown colored mascara and avoid using black. Brown enhances the blue color of your eyes and gives your mascara a softer look in contrast to your red hair. If you are strawberry blonde, use light brown shades.

Bronzer makeup
If needed, use a bronzer or concealer under your eyes. One of the best is Physician's Formula's Ice Green concealer blended with a darker concealer shade.

Lipstick
Find a lipstick color that blends well with you skin tone. For your lips, try soft peachy pink, orange reds, peaches, and nudes. Define your lips with a nude lip pencil adding a little stila peach shine gloss. Avoid using hot pinks and bloody reds on your lips. For a polished look, you can try a berry stain on the lips.

When you apply face makeup, you need not match your hair color. Try experimenting with color blends and shades that you feel make you look healthy, vibrant and glowing. Try to play around with tones and colors that can give you a new look that you are comfortable with.

Cosmetics For Beauty

2009-07-07T15:40:00.000-07:00

By Rosalinda Martinez

Some people are so obsessed with beauty that they spend their last penny on creams or put on make- up to achieve different looks at different times. These days, it's not surprising to see beauty - conscious women doing those tried and tested tips like putting mayonnaise on the hair, cucumbers on the eyes and even milk or eggs on the face. All these for the sake of beauty.

Undoubtedly, cosmetics has played an important role in women's lives. Superficial or not, most spend endless hours being scrubbed, massaged, exfoliated and made up like a butterfly. You have beauty products for having lovely eyes, sweet fragrances, oil-free foundations, dyes, anti-ageing creams, moisturizers, powders, lipsticks, among others.

"But one should be careful," explains dermatologist Glibenette Tapang - Panlaqui. "Contact dermatitis to cosmetics is common nowadays due to the wide range of products available in the market. The leading cause of skin reactions due to cosmetics is fragrances. Other causes are preservatives such as Bronopol, lanolin, and woolwax alcohols."

The severity of the skin reactions, she says, vary from person to person or from time to time for the same person, due to the conditions of the skin at the time of exposure to a given concentration of the irritant.

"It is therefore advisable to buy products which are labeled hypo-allergenic or non-comedogenic and do a patch test before using the products on the skin to make sure one is not allergic to it, " Dr. Panlaqui adds.

Cosmetic ingredients vary. They come from aloe vera, wheat grain products, essential oils and extracts derived from plants. One of the newest are florabeads which are ideal for facial scrub.

Evidence of mechanical exfoliation dates back as 3,000 BC when honey and salt constituted the main cleansing ingredients of the Egyptian religious community. According to data, exfoliation acids have a long history of use like the baths taken by Cleopatra and Marie Antoinette.

Aside from the scrubs, cosmetics and treatment are reputed to beautify and minimize ageing effects. Hair cosmetics strengthen the hair and scalp as well as color it; lipstick makes one look more attractive; powder makes the skin glow and rosy; and fragrance leaves an enchanting scent. Indeed, the growing complexity of today's market combine make-up and treatment using cosmetics that don't harm the skin.

What are the precautions to take? Don't forget the patch test. Keep away from the sun, use an umbrella or a sunblock lotion. Throw away old make-up. Read labels just like you would food and medicine labels.

Dr. Panlaqui also warned about the following cosmetics and its harmful ingredients:

In axilliary deodorants and antiperspirants, aluminum salts like aluminum chloride or zinc slats (e.g. zinc chloride act as a primary irritant. In roll-ons, the quaternary ammonium compounds may produce allergic contact dermatitis.

In hair dyes, those containing PPDA or paraphenylenediamine may act as sensitizer. Hair bleaches peroxide ad ammonia.

In lipsticks, the perfumes used and di- and tetrabomo -fluorescein in the dyes may cause sensitization reactions.

In eye make-up, be wary of preservatives and perfumes.

In sunscreens, keep away from paraaminobenzoicacid and its esters.

In depigmenting creams, beware of those containing hydroquinone.

Well, while cosmetics really makes a whole lot of difference in enhancing a woman's beauty, there's still no substitute for a radiant and sincere smile.

Is Quick Weight Loss Good Or Bad

2009-07-06T15:30:00.000-07:00

By Jenna Mychaels

Many people at one point in their life decide they want to lose weight for different reasons. Some want to trim a few pounds in order to be lean and fit, others need to shed many pounds in order to protect their health. For whatever reason, people just want to lose the weight fast. However, rapid weight loss can at times be harmful for your body. Quick weight loss has its share of both pros and cons.

Some circumstances, like special events you are preparing for, may require you to shed a few pounds fast. If your weight loss has a quickly-approaching deadline, then motivation will not be difficult. The end result will be so clear to you that you wouldn't care what means you took to achieve it.

You'll engage in a radical "crash" diet to shed the pounds. "Crash" diets in the short-term probably will not harm your body. However, crash diets can be harmful to your body if sustained for long durations. The initial stage of your crash diet will help you burn several pounds.
However, as the crash diet goes on and you continue to starve yourself, food binges will be harder to resist and the slightest mistake could set you off to regaining weight fast.

"Crash" diets, on the other hand, can also be advantageous to those who need motivation. The quick reward of fast weight loss is a good motivator to start you off into a healthy lifestyle.
However, remember that you shouldn't stay on a crash diet for too long. Combine a balanced diet with some intense physical activity to keep on losing weight.

The Top Three Nail Polishes

2009-07-05T16:30:00.000-07:00

By M. Adada

A girl wearing nail polish is one of the sexiest things she can do. It gives her a very cute and feminine look. That is why picking a high quality polish is so important!

These are some of the top selling nail polishes today, as well as some information about them, and my personal opinion on them.

Every polish brand listed below is a top seller in America. They have some crucial differences, but they are all of high quality. All of the brands have lots of different colors to choose from, dry quickly, and are resistant to chipping and smudging.

So without further ado, here are the top sellers:

OPI NAIL COLOUR

OPI is the number one brand in America. Ladies love it because it continues to look as good as the day you applied it for weeks on end, and it almost never chips. Plus it has a ton of fun colors, and the names of the colors are awesome! Here are some examples:

Social Climber
Casting Call
On Stage
Dear Diary...
Arm Candy
High Maintanence
Don't go there Charge it!
Domestic Goddess
Ms. Can't be Wrong

And so many more!!

ESSIE NAIL POLISH

Another solid brand is Essie! Like OPI, it lasts a long time on your nail without any signs of wearing thin. It has much more traditional "girly" colors, mostly shades of pink and red. Its a little more subtle than the OPI collection in terms of flashiness, but still an excellent product overall.

ZOYA

This is another great brand of polish, sharing a lot of the great qualities found in OPI and Essie. However, there is one key difference: it is free of DBP.

For those of you that don't know, DBP (dibutyl phthalate) is a toxic chemical that's purpose in nail polish is to make it last longer. Other popular brands (like OPI, Essie, and Sally Hansen) contain small amounts of DBP in their nail polish. In Europe, they forced companies that were manufacturing nail polish with DBP to discontinue using it because of the potential risk associated with exposure. However, with such small quantities of DBP found in nail polish, actual risk due to exposure to DBP in nail polish has never been proven. It is still debated whether there is a true risk, but many pregnant mothers or mothers with newborns choose to use a polish that does not contain DBP.

If DBP is something that concerns you, Zoya is a great polish that doesn't contain DBP.
Those are the best three nail polish brands in America. Pick any of those, and you can't go wrong. Good luck making those nails pretty!

A Few Makeup Tips For Teenagers

2009-07-01T16:17:00.000-07:00

By Merilee Paige

Today being a teenager brings about many pressures especially if you are a girl. Aside from the fact that teenagers have to deal with rigorous academic subjects, the pressure from society and peers to look good adds more stress to teenage life. Media hype in maintaining good looks is everywhere from television, to the Internet and on the covers of magazines.

If you are a teenage girl, there is no harm in experimenting with your looks. You need to learn as early as you can because someday you may have to deal with cosmetics on a daily basis. You just need to be acquainted with a couple of tips in applying makeup and develop a basic daily routine to keep that beautiful face as healthy as possible.

Face and makeup - lightly Important things to remember in applying makeup to your face are: be minimal and be fresh. The more natural the better, as if there is no makeup on your face at all. Do not overdo it. Leave the clown faces in the circus!

More and more cosmetic companies are targeting youth. Most of their products are designed for delicate skin. Before you buy those make up kits, try looking for hypoallergenic products, just in case you have allergies. These types of products will spare you from irritation. Likewise, non-comedogenic products are best for young skin because they do not clog pores and can reduce the outbreak of acne.

For school days, keep your makeup light. A dash of color on the cheeks and a little lip tint will give the effect of a naturally glowing skin. Try light pink shades for a start. Some teens prefer to apply eye liners, however eye liners will make you appear much older. If you must, avoid the black shade and go for the browns.

During parties, you may want to jazz it up a little bit. Here are some makeup beauty tips:

- For better coverage, use a cosmetic foundation. Apply it evenly on your face. Make sure to choose a shade darker than your skin tone not lighter. You don't want to look like a kabuki!
- Your eyebrows should be well trimmed. A well polished eyebrow will definitely give you a more elegant look.
- For your eyes, use a lighter shade (white or cream) to apply from the lid to the brow. With a darker shade of brown or golden brown, from the inner lid to the upper lid until you reach the crease line. Blend it well.
- Use a dark brown pencil for eye makeup liner. Apply it by tracing your upper lid and finish off by smudging it with a cotton bud.
- Now for the finishing touches, apply mascara, a bit of blush to your cheeks and your favorite lipstick.

If you want to have a shimmering effect, you can apply glitter face makeup for your face and body.

After enjoying the night, remember to take off the makeup. Follow the 3 step facial care regimen: Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing, to keep you face healthy and blemish free.

5 Great Makeup Tips For Summer

2009-06-30T16:51:00.000-07:00

By JR Lang

Summer is a season of sun-kissed skin and a healthy glow. You want to look fabulous? Your goal is a fresh, no-makeup appearance, a healthy, natural look with just a splash of vibrant and bold color.

Here are some essential makeup trends for the season:

1. Skin - Make your skin seem flawless, smooth, and absolutely perfect. Use a smart foundation; make sure to buy a tinted moisturizer with SPF protection. Try to keep it as minimal as possible. You want to blend outward from your nose for a continuous finish. These moisturizers are great for any skin type and provide enough coverage for the average woman.

2. Eyes - Make your eyes sparkle; make them speak volumes with a stroke of a brush. Be daring with bright blues, mesmerizing greens, sassy purples or playful teals. Try to use a single shade to avoid a color catastrophe. If those shades are too over-the-top, try a bright colored eyeliner in addition to your normal eye shadow. You don't need to rely on black for the smoky eyes, anymore! You still get the WOW without the extra POW.

3. Cheeks - High cheek bones create that svelte facial contour that every woman wants. So why not highlight them with sheer pinks, soft roses, subtle peaches and delicate apricots. These are the best shades for a natural, active look. Apply them at the temple, in an upwards motion into the hairline; this sweeping application gives you a youthful appearance.

4. Lips - Many poets throughout history have praised lips; their shape, their color, their feel, so let's continue the trend. The season's hottest lip color is ruby red, the classic sexy and the always current. If the red is too dramatic, then go glossy, a slight, dewy shine works best.

5. At the very least, here are the top three simple tips of the season:

a. Metallic eyeshadows are still hot, use silver, gold, bronze, and mauve.

b. Use easy to apply-at-home eyelash (falsies) strips to augment your eyes.

c. Use fashionable nail color, vibrant pinks and super chic purples are going to be this season's artistic explosion of neon.

Just follow some of the makeup tips mentioned above and you should be right-on-track for looking gorgeous and ready-to-go this summer!

5 Fashion Must Haves For Summer 09

2009-06-29T16:32:00.000-07:00

By Angie Michelle

It is no secret that we are going through one of the toughest recessions that the U.S. has seen in a long time. With that in mind, great fashion can still be attained. You are responsible and can create your own fashion. The summer trends of 09' are full of lively color. The mood of the country is reflecting progression and looking towards a brighter future. It is amazing, to me, just how impactful fashion can be on a society. Another aspect of the year is comfortability, yet still being stylish. Below you will see a list of the summer's 5 fashion must haves:

1) Gold accessories. Gold is back. Over the last few years, wearing gold accessories had been replaced by silver and platinum accessories. Now we are making this shift back to gold and the importance of gold and how it can accentuate what you wear. Everything from gold earrings, chains and ankle bracelets are being seen now. Now that the color yellow is the hot color of the season, adding some great gold accessories would be a sure-fire way to get your fashion mojo going.

2) Long printed dress. If you haven't noticed, just about everyone is wearing beautiful, colorful, long-printed dresses. Not only are they comfortable, and all the rage of the season, but they can add a sense of sophistication to any girl. Just about every fashion retail store has some style of this type dress. Some are strapless and flare out at the ends, while others can be monotone, yet form-fitting. It should be an easy find and at an affordable price.

3) One piece bathing suit. The one piece bathing suit is more popular than ever now. You don't have to be in a bikini or a size 0 to get the attention this summer. If you notice, one piece bikini's are becoming more and more sexier, yet still leaving something to the imagination. Nowadays, bathing suits are more about style and fashion than for their original function. Go to a local retail store and you should be able to find a one-piece to accentuate your curves.

4) The White Pants. You may think to yourself that you are not good with white. Neither am I, but white pants are great for picnics and they go with every color. Yes, they can get dirty easily, but they make for a great fashion forward statement for this summer.

Sulfate Free Beauty Products

2009-06-28T16:23:00.000-07:00

By Joseph Devine

In this article we'll explore the advantages to sulfate free products.

Most mainstream shampoos contain sulfates. Sulfates are responsible for creating the rich, bubbly lather we love. They are cheap and easy to obtain costing a quarter per pound. The most expensive sulfates run only a dollar a pound. Sulfates are excellent cleaners, good at dissolving oil and dirt. Therefore, they work really well in body washes and shampoo. Sulfates make products easy to thicken. All that is needed is salt.

Sulfate free products, on the other hand, are much more expensive and likely do not form as great of a rich lather. They also are more difficult to thicken.

However, sulfates dry out your hair and skin. Products that are sulfate free are much milder. They don't strip your hair and skin of its natural oils. For people who have dry or colored hair, sulfate free products are very good. In addition, sulfates are what cause shampoo to sting when it gets into your eyes. Sulfate free products are often labeled "tear-free" because it doesn't sting.
The main sulfates found in shampoos are sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). Both of these are very harsh. They are found in many other cleaning products such as toothpaste.

When you damage hair follicles with harsh products, you may end up with hair loss. Additionally, the money you pay to have your hair colored may go down the drain because the sulfates strip the color.

Consider trying natural or organic shampoos to see if you notice a difference in you hair. Look for products made with glycerine or glucosides. These come from corn and sugar and will give you lots of lather while keeping your hair silky and shiny. On the bottle, these are often labeled decyl glucodisde or coco-glucoside.

Sulfate shampoos are more expensive. However, you might be able to save money on color treatments or moisturizer. Experiment with different brands to see if you are a fan. Shampoos with sulfate are not dangerous and will still clean. However, they might not leave hair as silky as it could be. If you are looking to save money, inn addition to sulfate free, try baby shampoos.
These can provide similar results.

Easy Steps For Preventing Eye Wrinkles

2009-06-26T16:08:00.000-07:00

By Bethany North

If you are looking for the best way to prevent eye wrinkles, you may need to assess and evaluate the products that you are currently using. As aesthetician, I have found that preventing eye wrinkles is one of the main concerns in all of my clients, both male and female. I am here to tell you the best and most effective ways to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the delicate skin around that area.

Use Antioxidants:

Antioxidant skincare is actually an innovative and leading technology for caring for your complexion. Make sure that you are reading all of your ingredient labels very carefully to start using advanced ingredients that will prevent eye wrinkles by using antioxidant care. One major antioxidant to look out for in your facial care products is Coenzyme Q10 because it works to neutralize the effects of free radicals in your complexion. Outside damage causes free radicals to begin to break down all of your cells so that your skin has fine lines and appears to look sagging.

One of the best methods in preventing eye wrinkles is to use products topically that have these kind of antioxidant ingredients to care for your face.

Green Tea:

Green tea is no longer just for drinking to contribute to your health, but you can use it as another topical antioxidant to contribute to the wellness of your face overall. Green tea actually has an amount of caffeine in it which works as a vasodilator to constrict the blood vessels in your face to reduce signs of redness and inflammation. This is actually something that is perfect for a sufferer of acne or rosacea because dealing with inflammation and redness is a daily issue. In addition to all that green tea does for your face, it will also work to prevent eye wrinkles because it can soothe the delicate skin around that area that often looks papery or thin. The truth is that wrinkles will most likely first appear in the area around your orbital lobes because it is so delicate and sensitive to damage.

Honey, honey

Even Cleopatra knew the secret to looking ageless involved honey. Manuka honey is a special honey that helps to rebuild thinning skin - a big cause of puffy or uneven appearance. I am happy that I was able to share with you the best methods to protect that your face so that it stays looking youthful and vibrant. Use a product with these three ingredients for the most powerful defense you can get.

If you are looking for the best anti-aging ingredients to protect the thin skin around that area, then I would love for you to visit my website at http://www.myfacialmd.com/ to find clinically tested ingredients that will give you complete results.

It is completely possible to naturally care for this delicate area so that it looks young again, and I would love for you to visit my website today to find every professional and natural product that you are looking for to care for your complexion as a whole!

Bethany North is a licensed esthetician and makeup artist in Texas with a passion for products that really work. She has studied and researched hundreds of products in the skincare industry searching for formulas she knows her clients can rely on, based on their ingredients and manufacturing processes.

Four Essential Oils For Hair

2009-06-24T15:34:00.000-07:00

By Cynthia K Thomas

Four powerful natural extracts stand out as absolute must-have essential oils for hair. Lemon and rosemary cleanse like a little army of scrubbing bubbles. Basil and bergamot help your hair grow thicker and fuller. Cleansing, restoring, nourishing and protecting your hair and scalp, these four indispensible, gotta-love-'em treatments for hair make you look like a supermodel on a housewife's budget.

Lemon: The All-Purpose Hair Care All Star Among essential oils for hair, lemon leads the league.
Although all citrus fruits work wonders on your hair, teasing and tantalizing your nose, lathering like crazy, lemon still dominates. Lemon cleanses best, delivers the most anti-oxidants and the most powerful anti-bacterials, and lemon rinses away the cleanest and most completely. Readily available and relatively inexpensive, lemon oil will not lure you into an exhausting, frustrating, and fruitless marketplace quest. In fact, you really ought to consider growing your own, because lemon trees spring-up pretty naturally across all the states south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and they flourish everywhere indoors. Minimal care; maximal benefit, lemon oil also has the distinct advantage of mixing well with almost all other essential oils for hair.

Bergamot: Rich, Fragrant, and Fantastic Among the most nourishing and definitely one of the most exotic fragrances you can add to your essential oil hair formula, bergamot deep cleanses and promotes hair's healthy growth. A proud member of the citrus family, bergamot naturally mixes well with all its relatives, and it effectively maintains the oil and pH balances in your hair.
It strips away excess oil from your hair and scalp, but it does not strip them dry. Bergamot delivers powerful anti-bacterial and anti-vitals straight from Nature's arsenal, especially protecting you against some of the more insidious viruses-herpes simplex, for example. Best of all, Bergamot brings the most pick-me-up and perk-me-up power of all your choices.

Basil Boosts the Billow If your hair, once as big, billowing and spectacular as Rapunsel's, has lost its life and gone a little limp, move Basil to the top of your list of glamour secrets. If your hair has begun to thin (just a little) basil should become your best buddy. If your hair has less body than an anorexic teen model, you definitely must befriend Basil. Naturopaths' number one recommendation for promoting hair's health, basil nourishes your hair and scalp, and basil numbers among leading ingredients in proven hair-restoration remedies. Basil eliminates common causes of hair loss, replenishing hair you have, and replacing locks you lost. Reputable studies have shown basil improves circulation and restores life to damaged follicles, so your hair grows fuller and stronger. For full, radiant, luxurious hair, you absolutely must include basil among your preferred essential oils for hair

"Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes" Rosemary rocks. Just about every best-selling mix of essential oils for hair includes Rosemary. Not a surprise: Rosemary ranks right up there with the best cleansers, anti-oxidants, and germ-fighters; and Rosemary numbers among the league-leaders for soothing and healing scalp irritation, psoriasis, and dandruff. By far most importantly, though, ounce for ounce Rosemary has more Phyto-estrogens than any of the other oils. Phyto-estrogens, plant equivalents of your own vital female hormones, promote hair's full, natural, healthy development, and they put-up fierce defense against hair loss. Rosemary mixes well with and brings out the rich fragrances of your citrus oils and Basil, complementing and highlighting them.

Organic Shampoo Advantages

2009-06-23T16:05:00.000-07:00

By Amy Nutt

Today, many people are striving to make healthy and eco-friendly decisions to improve the health of their families. Often products we use daily such as soaps and shampoos are not given a second thought. The average consumer is unaware of the dangers that may be lurking in products they use so faithfully every day.

For example, a common item like shampoo contains chemicals that can be harmful. A large number of the synthetic ingredients found in shampoos are known carcinogens. While manufacturers claim the amounts of these chemicals are small, there are questions about how safe it is to use these products regularly. There is a risk of allergic reaction with prolonged exposure. Since shampoo comes into contact with the skin, that means the chemicals can be absorbed directly into the body. People conscious of these issues have been looking for a safe alternative to chemical based shampoos.

Organic shampoos are becoming increasingly popular because of their many benefits. First and foremost they eliminate the exposure to the harmful synthetic chemicals and alcohols found in regular shampoos. This means they can be used daily without the fear of side effects. When comparing the ingredient list from a regular shampoo to an organic one, there is a pronounced difference. Organic shampoos contain just a few natural ingredients, while a chemical based shampoo usually has a lengthy list of unpronounceable chemical names.

Some people think that using organic shampoos will not provide the results they are looking for, but that is not the case. Using all natural substances helps to moisturize and repair hair. The organic ingredients are also beneficial for the scalp since it gets pampered with natural oils and extracts. Organic shampoos contain such ingredients as coconut oil, green tea, aloe vera, chamomile, and shea butter. Treating hair with these all natural components keeps hair healthy and shiny. No chemicals needed! Also, the blending of essential oils and herbs provides organic shampoos with a pleasant, fresh scent.

When choosing an organic shampoo it is important to ensure its quality. Some shampoos brag about their natural ingredients, but they are often mixed with a chemical base. Choose a shampoo that says it is "100% organic." When in doubt, read the label. If there are chemical additives, it is not a truly organic shampoo. There are a variety of organic shampoos on the market. However there are also recipes available for organic shampoos that can be made at home. Many people have benefited from making their own shampoo. Not only do they make themselves healthier, but they also help the environment by reducing the amount of plastic bottles that reach the landfills.

Therefore, opting for organic shampoo offers many advantages. Organic shampoos prevent you from being exposed to harsh chemicals on a daily basis. The natural essences provide great results, are gentle, and will improve the health of your hair and scalp. When choosing an organic shampoo make sure the ingredient list is composed of only natural ingredients and says "100% organic."

Offers quality organic skin care products, organic hair gels and products, massage oils and natural cosmetics. Keep informed with skincare tips and top beauty tricks posted on our skin care blog.

Brazilian Bikini Wax Tips

2009-06-22T15:33:00.000-07:00

By Colleen Garneau

Brazilian bikini wax procedures have become all the rage. Why? Perhaps it is due to the freedom that a woman can feel without unsightly hair in their pubic area. Also, it is much easier to keep the pubic area clean and odor free without hair that can have an adverse affect on a woman's hygiene. This article will explain the steps involved in order to get the best Brazilian wax.

You can perform your own personal Brazilian bikini wax yourself. You can save a lot of money this way as the cost of these procedures can range from $50 to $100 depending on where you live. It might be a good idea, however to have one performed for you before opting for the do-it-yourself route.

Here's what to expect. First, the therapist will shave your pubic hair with scissors or a clipper down to about a quarter inch. This makes the waxing procedure to be easier to do (and less painful). Next, a moisturizer or lotion will be applied to the pubic area to soften the hair follicles.
Finally, it's time for the actual Brazilian bikini wax. I Cloth strips are dipped into a wax solution that is kept at a temperature just warm enough to be effective, however not so warm that it will burn the vaginal area. These strips are placed directly on the shaved pubic hair once at a time.
Within seconds of application, the strip is pulled off along with the wax and hair that has affixed itself to the wax. This can be painful. Many salons will give their clients headphones to listen to music or have a television available to distract you from the pain.

If you like the feeling and confidence that a Brazilian bikini wax can offer a woman, but can't afford the high cost of a salon or spa, you could consider purchasing your own kit to do at home.

It is a fact that women have been using makeup throughout history in an effort to improve their appearance and accentuate their features. In fact, before we had MAC, Revlon, Cover Girl and all the others women used to make makeup out of anything they could find including, using juices from berries as rouge and lip color and using egg whites as a home made face powder.

The Love Affair Between Skin and Tea Tree Oil

2009-06-19T15:57:00.000-07:00

By Dee Braun

Tea Tree oil has many medicinal and beneficial properties including being an antifungal, antiseptic, and antibacterial as well as an effective treatment for cough and cold and touting cosmetic benefits. Before it is used, tea tree oil is normally cut down to a strength of about 10% purity. If it is used in it's purest form it can cause strong reactions. Nevertheless, even diluted, this oil can still cause reactions, but they are much less common and severe.

This useful oil, also known as melaleuca, is an essential oil that is derived from leaves of the Melaleuca alternifolia. This foliage is found in Australia along the coastal areas of New South Wales.

In Australia, it has been used as an antiseptic for a very long time; even before there was scientific proof supporting the benefits. Research in support of the benefits of this substance for skin care have also surfaced recently. It has been found to have antifungal properties and is useful in treating several dermatophytes that are found on the skin. Another use is for controlling dandruff. Studies have shown that a shampoo with 5% tea tree oil is very effective for treating and preventing dandruff. it is also an excellent essential oil for killing Candida (yeast).

This natural, multi-purpose plant is also great for dealing with acne. Studies have shown that matching concentrations of tea tree oil and benzoyl peroxide gave the same results. The oil was a bit slower in taking care of the acne problem, but just as effective and completely natural.

Another use that you might not have thought of is it's effectiveness in dealing with scabies mites. A study has shown that it is actually more effective than other commercial medications for killing these tiny critters off.

One thing you should be very careful of is keeping this remedy away from children as it is toxic when taken internally. Some of the effects of ingested tea tree oil are: vomiting, diarrhea, severe rash, coma, hallucinations, confusion and blood cell abnormalities. Be sure to also keep it away from your pets due to it's potential toxicity.

Also be warned that tea tree oil can be irritating to the skin when not diluted. Do not use this oil inside your ears because it has been shown to cause loss of hearing.

Tea tree is a wonderful essential oil with many uses. Make sure that you exercise caution and also check to make sure you are using it correctly with your local herbal or aromatherapy expert. If you do not have anyone to ask near you, there are always ongoing discussions all over the internet.

Tips on How to Stop Hair Loss and Promote Hair Growth

2009-06-18T15:48:00.000-07:00

By Lillian D Johnson

Are you having problems with losing hair? Does your hair look thin and limp? There are may reasons for hair loss. It can be caused by aging, medications, diet and even the best of shampoos that you purchase. I have learned a few ways to stop hair loss and even make it start growing again and get thicker. But to get the results you want, you have to do it more than once, you need to keep the treatment up until you have accomplished the results that you are looking for. You will find this treatment to be very inexpensive, in fact, you can find what you need in your own kitchen.

Here are some valuable tips on how to stop hair loss, get your hair growing again and make it thicker.

The favorite brand shampoos contain a chemical additive that is 90% Sodium Laureth Sulphate. his chemical targets dirt and oil but it literally ruins your hair growth. The next time you go to purchase your bottle of shampoo, read the label to see if it has this chemical.

Drink four cups of green tea a day. If you don't like the taste or don't have time to drink four cups a day, you can purchase the capsule form.

The nine important nutrients for hair growth are magnesium, zinc, iron, vitamin b, copper,
protein, vitamin d, and biotin.

The best foods that have plenty of proteins are eggs, chicken, turkey, nuts (almonds). Almonds also contain magnesium.

Spinach is a great source of iron.

Would you believe that your own olive oil that you use for cooking in your kitchen promotes hair growth? Olive Oil is a degreasing agent that lifts trapped dirt and oil from your scalp pores. Once the pores are cleared, it gives your follicles more breathing room. Therefore, your hair has air for growing and you will start getting new hair which will mean thicker hair.

Massage Olive Oil into your scalp three nights a week, leave on overnight and wash out the next morning with a mild shampoo. To get a shampoo without the chemical, visit your health food store. Ask for assistance and tell your helper that you are looking for a shampoo that contains green tea, sage, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, and nettle. Anything natural will only improve the shampoo. Make sure it does not have Sodium Laureth Sulphate.

Here is an unbelievable way to thicken your hair and you probably have it in your kitchen cabinets at this minute. To thicken your hair, after shampooing your hair, take your hair rinse and add some baking soda to it. Mix it real well and put in on you hair. Rinse it out when you are ready. If you want to mix enough in your hair rinse bottle, you would use half of a cup of baking soda to a bottle of hair rinse. I couldn't get my lid off my hair rinse so I just added some to my hair rinse each time I use it. This really works. I was so surprised when I tried it.

There is a time in every ones life that your hair starts thinning. Just remember when it does, you have what you need in your own kitchen.

Foods For Healthy Hair

2009-06-17T15:36:00.000-07:00

By Jenna Mychaels

Having healthy hair is pretty much easy to achieve. That is, if you have a clue as to how. The basics like shampooing and using conditioner are already too trite to mention so I have decided to venture in another direction. Food. The food we eat does affect our hair growth. A healthy diet I have discovered not only flatters the body but also our hair. There are 5 foods I will recommend that can help your hair grow better.

Number one is any dark green vegetables. Spinach and broccoli are good because they are excellent sources of vitamins A and C. These vitamins are vital in the production of sebum, the hair's natural conditioning agent.

The second food you might want to try is oysters. Yes, also known to be aphrodisiacs they are loaded with zinc, a powerful anti - oxidant. But if you don't like oysters, let nuts and whole grains can take their place.

The third one is eggs. I know you already might be eating these in the morning but at least you now know that you can benefit from it. Eggs, whatever way served are still the best source of protein. They also contain beauty nutrients; biotin and vitamin B - 12. If you're wondering whether chicken can take the place of eggs in number 3, the answer is yes.

Number 4 is poultry, which includes both chicken and turkey. They also provide protein but are more known to provide iron that can easily be absorbed by the body.

The last one is salmon. Known for omega-3 fatty acids, it supports scalp health. A scalp deficiency will result in a too dry and flaky scalp that will not compliment your hair. So eat right and be merry. Not just to be in shape but to maintain your healthy hair.

Jenna Mychaels finds and reports on the latest Free Beauty Offers ways to take advantage of them.

Crystal Nail Files Vs Emery Boards Vs Metal Files

2009-06-15T15:53:00.000-07:00

By Colleen Lloyd-Roberts

You may own one yourself or have given one a test spin at a women's show or local fair - the new crystal nail file. Its sleek, colorful and very chic, but is it worth its $7 price tag and is it really superior to the emery boards we purchase by the dozen?

Emery boards are cardboard with small grains of sand adhered to them and in fact are interchangeable with sandpaper. As you file, the emery board literally tears your nail, that is the nature of how it files.

With emery boards you must file in one direction in order to minimize damage to the nail during the filing process. Sandpaper on a stick aka emery boards, come in different grits so you can file your nail down in length, shape it and then do your best to tame those lethal jagged edges that always form when using an emery board.

Emery boards are rough on your nails but they do get the job done. The coarseness of file you choose to use also depends upon if you have weak, thin, fragile nails or hard, strong hooves.

Unfortunately in doing the job they are designed to do emery boards cause more harm than good to your nails. When using an emery board, you leave the tip of the nail "open" as opposed to being "closed", just like pores on your face being open or closed. Leaving the nail edge "open" means dirt and water can leech inside the nail itself causing chipping, cracking, peeling and weakening of the nails. Also, the harshness of the grinding action of the sandpaper weakens the nail.

Because of the porous nature of the cardboard, glue and sand, dirt and debris can get imbedded into the file and fungus and bacteria can grow rampantly. Though you might not see it with your eyes, a good micro-biologist and a microscope will enlighten you on your science project on a stick! There is no way to clean, let alone sanitize an emery board and they are so subject to bacteria that you should toss out your emery board after each use. This is the mandated practice per the FDA in professional salons and this bring us to the environmental factor. The emery board scores very low on the "green-o-meter". The number of trees used to make millions of files and the landfill space taken up by these little 5 inch sticks, is more enormous than you can imagine. At least one entire football stadium can be filled each year with tossed aside emery boards and it takes years for one to fully decompose in the ground.

Metal files fare slightly better than their bacteria on a stick friend, the emery board, but not by much.

Metal files are manufactured in two ways: one, there are actual tiny flakes of metal adhered to a metal or cardboard stick and two, a metal stick is formed and the stick itself is roughened to create the filing surface. In both cases tiny, miniscule bits of metal flake off when filing. While metal is a lot stronger and more durable than sand granules, the metal used to make the files is usually of a lower grade and actually quite soft as far as metals go.

Metal files also grind the nail and leave the nail tip "open" as opposed to "closed". Due to the nature of the metal bits on the file, dirt and debris can be trapped between the tiny little metal-like "teeth" and can stick to the metal. Metal is non-porous so bacteria growth on the file itself is not likely, however bacteria can grow on the nail debris and any dirt caught in the file itself. You can rinse off a metal file but you need to be careful of rust forming in any cracks and crevices between the "teeth".

The metal files cannot be sanitized to the FDA's satisfaction for the ultimate in cleanliness.

On the green-o-meter metal files score slightly higher than their cardboard friend because of the lack of trees used in its production. Metal does off-gas some nasty chemicals during the production process and metal files should be thrown out after several uses since they cannot be efficiently sanitized. They do take a lot longer than emery boards to decompose in landfills.

Your highest quality crystal files are cut from actual crystal and the surface of the crystal is treated in the manufacturing process to roughen it, creating the filing surface.

The crystal nail file is very smooth as it glides over the nail tip. It doesn't tear the nail like the emery board or metal file, so you can file in both directions and as an added bonus - no more jagged edges! When you file your nails with a crystal file, you'll notice how smooth the nail tip is.

The crystal file closes the nail tip and actually seals it, preventing water and debris from leaching into your nail. After using a crystal nail file for a period of about one month, users report a noticeable difference in their nails being stronger and they "don't chip and crack and peel as much".

Crystal is non-porous and very hygienic. No bacteria or debris can grow on the filing surface, nor get trapped in the roughened surface of the crystal file. The same is true for the crystal pumice file which can be left right in the bathtub without fear of mold, mildew, fungus or bacteria growing in it or on it!

Your better quality crystal nail files are made from recycled crystal. There are some factories that make them from new, large sheets of crystal-glass, but your highest quality crystal factories have found a use for the crystal left over after making vases and stem ware. The crystal is melted down and formed into large sheets. From these sheets, the various sizes of nail files and pumice files are cut.

There are no varying grits of a crystal file, with the exception of the pumice file. The pumice file is made with a coarser surface and can be used for calluses, dry skin, toe nails and artificial nails.

Crystal nail files meet all of the sanitization requirements of the FDA. They can be sanitized in alcohol, under UV light, and baked in an autoclave. Because of their hygienic nature, crystal files are perfect for diabetics - especially the pumice file. You don't have to worry about cutting yourself while you're taking care of your feet, the way diabetics do.

Crystal nail files will last years, if not a lifetime. Crystal is naturally very hard when it is found in nature. When crystal is formed in the earth, it has a slow cooling rate therefore the crystal molecules have more time to form strong lattice type formations, which have a tough, sturdy bond. As compared to glass, which cools very quickly and the molecules don't have time to form the sturdy lattice support system, crystal is the superior material.

The crystal nail file scores high ratings on the green-o-meter because its made from recycled materials and several factories use lead-free, environmentally safe dyes. They last for such a long time that landfills will not be largely impacted by constant consumption such as their cardboard and metal stick friends. One crystal nail file and pumice file could last a person's entire lifetime!

Gearing Up For Swimsuit Season

2009-06-14T16:51:00.000-07:00

By Billings Farnsworth

There is something enticing about a deep dark sun tan that attracts the opposite sex like a magnet. No matter how naturally beautiful a person is the addition of a bronze coating makes every one more appealing, but going to the beach everyday to work on the perfect color of tan is not possible for people living inland from the coastal regions of the country. Even laying out by the swimming pool can take more time and effort to achieve a healthy golden brown tone. Then there are the embarrassing moments of working on a tan white still a pasty white color after being covered up all winter long.

To help with the process of preparing for bathing suit season people of all walks of life make weekly or even every other daily visits to tanning salons to improve their pigment and build up a deep dark tan that looks like it was acquired on some tropic deserted island in the Caribbean Sea.

Residents of the inner cities of Pennsylvania find that a visit to a Butler, PA tanning salon is the perfect way to start working on a golden brown complexion that gets citizens ready to go out in public in a new swim suit and look like they belong by the pool. Butler, PA tanning salon parlors offer a wide range of tanning options without the risk of harmful UV rays of direct sunlight damaging the skin. The Pennsylvania crowds that gather on the beaches while on vacation will look like locals that spend all their free time playing in the surf and sand.

Four Seasons Tanning http://www.fourseasonstanningsalon.com/ is a Butler, PA tanning salon that gives clients the deepest darkest tans available. Billings Farnsworth is a freelance writer.

Working Women and Beauty

2009-06-13T15:54:00.000-07:00

By Stephanie Younger

You know how sometimes we wish that we could just wake up, get dressed, head out the door, jump into the car and look like a movie star waltzing into the office? Well, the bad news is that....it never happens that way, and it will never....EVER! So, what's a working woman or mother to do but to do SOMETHING (anything) about juggling family life and business so that she would look every bit the movie star that she deserves to look like every morning?

That's the bad news. The good news is that working women should have a load of these beauty tips that can shorten their time in the morning. It's a dreadful chore trying to get the kids (if you have them. Bless you if you don't have them yet) and yourself ready in the morning. Getting up early in the morning, bug-eyed, becomes something of a nightmare.

But try some of these short-cut tips.

Flat hair or bad hair day solution Most women with long or long-ish hair will have problems dealing with unruly curls or NO CURLS or hair-sticking-out-everywhere-syndrome some mornings. You deal with them by setting your hair at night...and yes, this means going to bed with curlers and some setting agent. The down side is that you're probably going to have to change the pillow case a lot more during the week but hey, nothing in this world is free.

Put your hair in rollers (you don't have to do this for the whole head) while it's still half-dry and them put some gel or setting solution to it before going off to bed.

Use celebrity makeup as an example This is truly easy. Most of us would tear our hair out in front of the mirror trying to make ourselves up in the morning. Instead of doing that, try this.
Cut out pictures of celebrities who look good in magazines and have them placed in your drawer. Before you go to sleep at night, pick one out, something you'd like to try tomorrow morning, and stick it to the mirror.

The next morning, duplicate that to the best of your ability.

The night before If you want to look young and beautiful the next day, you'll have to do your homework the night before - I'm serious, there's no exception to this rule.

You want to save time in the morning without sacrificing the way you look, then you'll have to get everything prepared at night. Working women are considered the pillars of every family. Not only do they have to do their bit in bringing in the dough but they're shouldering the responsibilities of caring for the family, herself and kids. Harrowing task, if you ask me, but not impossible.

How to Use Mousse Without Crackling

2009-06-12T16:01:00.000-07:00

By Megan Winegar

Although the style lately has called for a lot of super straight, flat-against-the-head hair, it's not a look for everyone. But trying to get more body can sometimes mean going into the crackly, stiff world of hair spray and gel. That's one of the reasons that mousse, once a staple of the hair travesty that was the 80s, is still a great addition to any hair routine now.

Mousse in moderation is the catch phrase I'll be plugging here. Too much mousse eliminates its charm - the natural body without the stickiness, and using too much of some kinds of mousse can leave white flakes in the hair, a minus for people who aren't going for the dandruff look.
Mousse leaves a very thin layer or resin on the hair, which is fine as long as it doesn't get too thick. Think golf ball when you're dispensing and you should be about right, no matter how long your hair is. If you think that might be too much, start with less and work up.

Here are some good ways to get the most out of your mousse.

Don't put mousse on hair right after you get out of the shower. (I've been guilty of this one. It doesn't do much.) You can put it on wet hair or dry, but the best way is probably when your hair is about 60% dry. Blot it, air dry it, or blow dry it halfway, then apply some mouse and work your hair into the style you want as you continue drying.

If you want volume, go for the roots. Work it in with your fingers to get some lift right where it matters, especially if you're using a blow dryer.

Even if you're starting at the roots, make sure mouse is distributed throughout the hair. The best way to make sure you avoid large clumps of resin and stickiness is to rub your hands together first. It doesn't need to look perfect and foamy to work.

Diffusers are a great tool to use with mousse, especially with naturally curly hair. The mousse can tone down frizz and play up the natural curl.

Letting your hair dry naturally with mousse in it (i.e. overnight) can provide a great base of texture for curling hair and getting good hold.

Be sure to read about the product you use before you buy it. Some mousse is to build volume in straight hair, some helps to bring out curl, some is meant for fine hair, etc. Make sure the mousse you're buying is going to help your hair type.

8 Types of Treatments Available at Medical Spas

2009-06-10T15:09:00.000-07:00

By Jacqueline Lajoie

There are a wide variety of reasons to seek treatment at a medical spa. Not only do these establishments-if chosen correctly-offer solutions to embarrassing bodily ailments, but they also give patients the ability to pamper themselves through various holistic soothing treatments. If you are a novice to medical spas, you may be wondering what sorts of treatments are offered at these places and what are the details of these treatments? Below, is a helpful overview of the types of spa treatments you can expect to find at a medical spa.

1. Facials: Facials can help clean up and detox your face's skin while also pampering the patient seeking one. There are a wide variety of facials available from standard facials to those that help tighten skin, remove wrinkles, detoxify acne, and make the skin look overall more healthy and glowing. They can also help protect the skin from harmful toxins in the environment, such as sun and pollutants.

2. Botox: Botox injections are often offered at medical spas and can offer solutions to a variety of body issues, to include: removal of crows feet, lifting of sagging breasts, soothing of migraines, etc.

3. Laser Hair Removal: Laser hair removal is a very popular service offered at medical spas. From waxing of bikini lines to removal of hair on the legs, arms, or upper lip; the treatment effectively removes unwanted hair in one or more sessions.

4. Massages: A staple of almost any reputable medical spa is the offering of massage services for their patients. People seek massages as a way to release built up tension and remove knots located in the back and other bodily areas. From simple 20 minute back massages to full body specialized hour long massages, there are a host of massages that you can receive for various purposes at a medical spa.

5. Acne Laser Treatments: Another laser treatment common to medical spas is laser treatment to rid the skin of chronic acne and the remains of acne. This same treatment has been used to remove wrinkles as well.

6. Facial Peels: A very popular means to exfoliate skin along with pesky acne, scars, and wrinkles is the treatment of facial peels. These treatments use chemicals to burn off the first damaged layers of skin, so that the newer skin is left to show through.

7. Microderm or Microdermabrasion: Microderm or Microdermabrasion is a common treatment used at medical spas to slough off excess damaged skin from the face-predominantly. Physicians applying this technique use a microderm wand that buffs off the dead skin with a rough surface to remove scars and damaged skin but also to promote pink healthy skin below.

8. IPL or Intense Pulsed Light: The intense pulsed light treatment is a fairly new treatment to hit medical spas, and involves the use of light to reduce wrinkles and discolored skin. IPL is also referred to as photofacials, and is done through constricting the blood vessels in the affected area to reduce the negative skin conditions.

12 Popular Hairstyles For Men

2009-06-09T15:47:00.000-07:00

By Jacqueline Lajoie

In Dallas, it seems, there is typically little thought given to how the groom should be dressed, groomed, and accessorized; it is also your day and you should look your best. The tux may be chosen, the boutonniere fitted, and shoes picked out; but how will you best address your hairstyle for your big day? There are a variety of popular hairstyles grooms use on their wedding day to look their very best. Here are 12 of the most popular hairstyles in Dallas for men.

Shaved: One of the options for a popular hairstyle is just to shave your head. If you wonder if this is attractive or popular, look to beauties like Bruce Willis.

Buzz cut: Closely related to the maintenance free shaved cut, is the buzz cut. Signature of army men, the buzz cut offers a clean and attractive look for any man's wedding day.

Caesar cut: Another popular option for your male hairstyle is what is called the Caesar cut. It is characterized by short length and a horizontal cut resembling that of Julius Caesar.

The Business Man cut: The Business Man cut is another short haircut that many men enjoy because it is low maintenance but also very conservative and formal looking. While there a variety of ways in which this look can be altered, the gist is that the hair is parted on the side and tapered in the back and on the sides.

The Fade cut: The Fade cut is another tapered hairstyle for men, and tapers up on the sides and back of the head. This one is similar to another popular style, the Flattop cut.

Faux Hawk: The Faux Hawk is certainly reserved for more informal and fun weddings but is definitely becoming more and more popular with men at the moment. It is just like a Mohawk, but the hair is just styled to look like it is shaved on the sides.

Spikes: Of the same informal effect as the Faux Hawk, the spiked hairstyle can add some fun to any wedding day. Spikes are fashioned with hair gel so that hair stands up straight. The great thing about spikes is that they can be more formal or more fun-it really depends upon the groom.

Short Back and Sides: One of the most classic hairstyles for men, both then and now, is the style that is associated with short sides and a short back, with the hair left long on the top. This is a classic but stylish hairstyle for any groom looking for a versatile haircut.

Shag: The shag is of course a tribute to the 1970s long layered style in men, and can be quite a popular and attractive cut depending on the face and style of the man wearing it. This cut requires longer hair-at least below the ears-and is an alternative look to many formal haircuts used for groom's wedding hairstyles.

Bowl Cut: Another alternative option for a wedding hairstyle is the bowl cut-also signature of a retro style. The bowl cut is characterized by long sides, back, and front-picture a bowl being upside down and placed on your head.

Layered: More and more fashionable men are also choosing to have their hair layered for their wedding days. Layers come in short and long styles depending on what look you are seeking, but cannot also define the man's face well but also add a fashionable flair to his ensemble.

Burr: The burr is closely related to the buzz cut and is closely cropped, but not necessarily as short as a buzz cut. It offers the same low maintenance but professional look for any wedding day.

Finding Pictures of Tattoos

2009-06-07T15:54:00.000-07:00

By Ron Auston

Picking a tattoo is a very important decision, and you definitely want to avoid making a mistake and getting one that you don't like. That is why researching different tattoo designs is important!
Most people start out with an idea of what they would like, and the internet has thousands of pictures of tattoos on it. The problem is that most of the pictures of tattoos are already on someone else's body, finding original tattoo designs is a little more difficult. If you want something original it is better to pay for access to a gallery of tattoo designs than to use a free one. Either way though, the internet is by far the easiest way to look at pictures of tattoos.

Once you have chosen some tattoo designs that you like the next thing you should do is go to a tattoo shop, most shops can print pictures of tattoos onto transparent foil so that you can see how they will look before you get them done.

Another thing that is very important to consider is where you go to get your tattoo, internet research will come in handy here as well. There are lots of forums where people talk about their experiences and recommend different artists.

It is a great thing to be able to "try on" different pictures of tattoos before choosing one that you like the most. Removing a tattoo is an expensive and painful process.

If you want to make sure you get a unique tattoo design there are a few online tattoo galleries that have thousands of designs to choose from, way more than any tattoo shop has. Some of them also pay artists to produce new designs on a regular basis. I would recommend using them, they are usually pretty inexpensive and have TONS of different pictures of tattoos to look at, all done by professional artists.

Ron Auston writes about pictures of tattoos and where to find them.

No Carb Pasta

2009-06-05T16:17:00.000-07:00

By Judy Feder

I'm a recovering pasta lover. It's such a taboo thing to be these days with the low carb epidemic but my pasta eating days ended long before, when I noticed that each time I chowed down on a big pasta dinner (my favorite was pasta primavera), I'd crash out about 30 minutes later into what I called my "carb coma." But now, my friends, there is no need to fear the insulin spiking and blood sugar crashing effects of pasta any longer. A pasta-lover's miracle, Shirataki pasta is my new hero.

Gluten-free, calorie-free, low-carb, high-fiber noodles that can be used in a wide variety of recipes, Shirataki noodles contain carbohydrates of which very little is digested in the small intestine. How is this possible, you ask? Well, Shirataki comes from the root of a plant (Amorphophallus Konjac) grown in various parts of Asia, and contains a fiber is also known as glucomannan which can play a role in blood sugar control, as well as improve cholesterol control and weight loss.

What's more, scientists in Thailand found that just 1 gram has the power to significantly slow the absorption of sugar into your bloodstream after you eat a high carb meal, making almost any meal much healthier for you. Shirataki noodles come packed in liquid and they are ready to eat out of the package.

You should be able to find them at most health food stores. They don't have much of a taste on their own, and the noodles are almost transluscent. There are two varieties available, the yam alone (a bit rubbier), and a tofu kind (springy). The noodles will take on the flavors of whatever it is served with, just be sure to rinse them before cooking. My favorite recipes to make with these glorious noodles are stir fries, especially Pad Thai, but technically, you could make any number of your favorite Italian dishes too. In fact, I plan to try that next, so: pasta primavera, here I come again!

How to Tan Without Burning

2009-06-02T15:30:00.000-07:00

By Jie Miao

Tanned skin looks sexy, especially when donned by the beach. Such a complexion is often ogled at, given the edgy impressions it exudes. The problem is, baking beneath the sun can dry the skin and causes sunburn to appear, ruining your tan. Good thing there are means to protect your skin from getting burned. Just apply sunscreen, a tanning lotion, or other tan-friendly solutions before sunbathing.

Use Sunscreen with Low SPF

Applying sunscreen helps you ward off the harmful UV rays from the sun. However, if you use one that offers too much protection, tanning will practically take forever. Purchase sunblock that has about 10 SPF and a tanning lotion. The solutions give you a fair duration for securing a tan while avoiding sunburn. The ideal time is about 10 - 15 minutes, but you can extend a little longer as long as your skin doesn't hurt. Distribute sunscreen and the tanning lotion equally on your arms, legs, face, and torso, for a nice even tan.

Apply Exfoliant Days Before Sunbathing

Exfoliant is formulated to rid your skin off dead cells, which causes blotches and discolorations.
Apply the substance a couple of days before heading to the beach. Make sure you have your entire body covered, as a single discolored spot looks unsightly. Apply the solution twice daily, preferably one in the morning and another before going to bed. Once you hit the beach, you will notice that getting an even tan is not too hard.

Bring a Timer when Tanning

Time is of the essence when getting a tan. For one, watching the time is necessary to avoid staying for too long beneath the sun or on the tanning bed. The duration in which each side of your torso is exposed to the sun is also important for getting an even bronze complexion. For these purposes, you should always bring a timer or a stopwatch, so you can track the time for every tanning-related endeavor.

How to Get Rid of Dandruff - Shampoos, Oils, and Rinses

2009-06-01T15:56:00.000-07:00

By Arjuna Bravia

We all know how annoying and embarrassing dandruff problems can be. Who wants to walk around with visible dead skin flakes on their clothes? Learn how to get rid of dandruff for good!

Your first option for clearing up a dry scalp is the many specialized shampoos on the market.
You've heard of Head and Shoulders, right? Soaps like these contain zinc pyrithione. This chemical has anti-fungal and bacterial fighting properties and is used for dandruff brought on by fungi or yeast. It will only work while you continue to use the product. Selsun Blue works much the same way but by a chemical known as selium sulfide. Coal tar shampoos can also be used but with caution as they are very strong.

Many people will use oils at home for treatment. Tea tree oil can be mixed into other soaps or lotions and is an anti-fungal agent. Let the mixture sit and soak on your scalp for 15 minutes and then rinse. You can also massage most normal lotions into your hair to revive the skin. Simply put it in about an hour before your shower and let it work. You most likely already even have lotion readily available at home!

Rinsing with vinegar is also a very popular home remedy for dandruff control. White and apple cider vinegar are most commonly used. Dilute it into water. Soak your head all the way up to the hairline in the bowl or sink for 5 to 10 minutes. Some people will even add chamomile or something similar to offset the smell of the concoction. Hop in the shower and wash your head well. That's it!

Walking around with an itchy, dry scalp and dead skin all over your clothes is no picnic. These are a few good tips on how to get rid of dandruff. So, if you don't want to be miserable or embarrassed anymore, give some of these treatments a try!

How to Get Free Beauty Samples

2009-05-31T16:29:00.000-07:00

By Vilma Ladaga

The beauty business is a multi-billion dollar industry. All of the top International cosmetic brands will offer all types of incentives just to assist in the promotion of new product lines and established brands. A number of Companies offer 2 for 1 deals on particular brands because it's a way to boost sales and introduce new product lines to loyal customers who purchase items on a regular basis. Loyalty and repeat orders are the backbone of any business and provide the security that Companies need to be able to invest into research and development of new products.

While looking after a loyal customer base is important it is also essential for the beauty product manufacturers to find ways to attract new customers. Maybe these potential customers are not aware of new products on the market or maybe they are loyal to another brand and so not like to change. Cosmetics can be expensive so there is financial risk and trust involved for any buyer considering moving away from a brand they have used for years to another who they have never tried.

This is why offering free beauty samples was introduced. Most of the top cosmetic manufacturers now offer the freebies to anyone who provide their contact address. The person wanting to take advantage of the free sample offers will normally have to pay towards the postage costs but when you can try free samples that can amount up to $250.00 of cosmetic freebies then paying towards postage costs would be a minor financial outlay.

If you go into any department store then you will see sales assistants offering a free spray of a wide range of perfumes just to give you a sample of what it will actually smell like on your particular skin. In some cases you can even have a full makeover for free so you can try lots of different cosmetic treatments in one go. This type of promotion has been going on for years so you can be sure it's worthwhile for the cosmetic Companies to offer this type of free service to potential clients because they will benefit in the long term through sales.

The downside to offering freebies to potential future customers in department stores is simply numbers. There is massive promotional opportunities online with an unlimited supply of potential customers to tap into. This is why many of the major cosmetics Companies now offer freebies and free sample giveaways as standard. They know they will have access to the contact details that will allow them to follow up on the person who takes up the offer of the free sample.
In many instances this can lead to further trial offers and free samples as an incentive to the potential buyer to trust the brand. The Companies have the confidence that if someone tries a beauty product in their range they will be impressed enough to order in the future.

Why not take advantage of the cosmetic Companies offer and take the opportunity of registering for the free beauty samples. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain with offers like these.
Web sites like Money Save UK offer a wide range of beauty freebies, free samples and giveaways. You will have a small financial outlay on postage in most cases but when you consider you will be getting so much more in monitory value back in top of the range free beauty products it has to be an attractive proposition. But not only that, you can give yourself a free makeover for a fraction of the cost!

Vilma Ladaga loves saving money and you can find free beauty samples, freebies and free trials of all the top cosmetic brands on her web site http://www.moneysaveuk.com/

Manicure Safety - How to Ensure Your Fingernails Are Kept Healthy

2009-05-29T14:01:00.000-07:00

By Jennie Armato

Having professional manicures is something that many women have done on a frequent basis. While having someone else do your manicure may seem like the best option, this is not always the case. Manicures can lead to nail fungus or infections if the proper sanitation procedures are not taken. The easy, low cost alternative to professional manicures is to perform your own.

You might be surprised at what you can pick up from a manicure or pedicure. Nail fungus and bacterial infections can occur and, on very rare occasions, manicures can expose you to deadly diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Of course, the chances of you contracting HIV from a manicure is extremely low but why even let that slight chance exist if you can prevent the chance of you getting it?

One of the most important things you can do is check out the shop before patronizing it. Getting a referral from a friend is one of the best ways to find a good manicurist. However, that is only true if your friend knows what to look for in a good manicurist. Ask your friend about the sanitation of the manicurist. Are there disinfectants in the area of the work station? Is the shop clean overall? Are the other manicurists seen cleaning their equipment after clients? These are all little things that can be overlooked. If your friend does not have answers for these questions, tell them to smarten up and start to pay attention.

If you are not sure of the manicurist that you are going to, buy and take your won manicure and pedicure kit with your. Simply inform the manicurist that, no offense, but you would prefer to have your own personal kit used. This is a sure way of knowing were the equipment has been. Your concern about sanitation and safety may also prompt your manicurist to be even more cautious when working on your hands or feet.

The idea of performing your own manicures and pedicures may not seem that appealing at first thought. However, you can turn manicures and pedicures into "me time". Of course there is a sense of pampering that comes from having someone else do these self-care things for women.
Think about how wonderful it could be to spend a day relaxing and pampering yourself without the intrusion of someone else? Imagine a spa day that you plan out for yourself--a day where you give yourself facials and exfoliating and giving yourself a manicure and pedicure. Spend time soothing those workweek blues out of your body.

Of course, some of us are not skilled enough to perform our own manicures. If that is the case, there are steps you can take to insure that you are getting the best manicure care possible. The first thing you want to do is observe. By watching the way that the manicurist works on others, you will be able to gauge a few important factors. Cleanliness is one of those factors. If the manicurist is not changing emery boards between clients or cleaning the pedicure tub, you might want to move on.

If you view unsanitary procedures at the salon where you get your nails done, speak up. The manager or shop owner should be aware of the bad rep their manicurist is giving them. If unsanitary conditions at a salon cause you to get some type of nail infections you should make a call to the state cosmetology board. Once that particular shop is flagged as an unsanitary place, action will be taken. The cosmetology board will want to head off any more complaints.

Male Grooming Products

2009-05-27T14:57:00.000-07:00

By M James

Male Grooming has moved on a great deal since the days where men just simply shaved and added a splash of aftershave. Nowadays there are many grooming products for men that help to keep skin and hair looking and feeling great.

Many different male hair styling brands and products are available, and the right one for you could depend on the length of your hair, and your style and personality. You might want a bit of wax as a finishing touch after you've washed your hair, or you might need a something stronger to help control your wayward locks, or ambitious hair style.

Some dedicated shampoos for men are designed to wash the hair, and exfoliate the scalp. Men may not want the additional shine and glow that a woman's shampoo provides, and so different ingredients are used.

Hair regrowth products are popular with men who are anxious about losing their hair. For some people losing their hair isn't an issue, but for other people it is. If you're worried about going bald, why not see if a hair loss product could stop you losing your hair?

Hair dryers can make drying and styling your hair much quicker and easier, and a salon quality hairdryer that will be up to the job and last for years isn't expensive. There's no need to put up with having to towel dry your hair anymore, admit it, you need a hairdryer!

Hair straighteners for men have become increasingly popular as more men have longer hair, and are looking to create more and more styles and looks. Rather than just having long hair, many men have longer hair at the front or the sides than the back. By using straighteners, you can control your hair and style it as you want it.

Hair clippers are a fabulous way to save money if you have or want really short hair. Rather than go to the barbers, why not invest in a set of hair clippers and cut your hair yourself? You'll save time as well as money, and you can have your hair cut as often as you like.

Shaving products have improved over the last few years, and many people are going back to a wet shave. With advances in razors, and new male grooming products for before, during and after the shave, you're sure to find the right products for you. Keep your face smoother for longer with scrubs, shaving oils and post shave moisturisers. It might also be time to think about changing your razor too.

Male grooming also includes tanning products, which are designed to give a healthy sun-kissed glow all year round. If you're looking for a healthy way to get a tan why not consider a tanning system?

If you're shaving with a disposable razor, using the cheapest shampoo from the supermarket and wondering why your skin and hair don't look and feel as good as they could do, why not treat yourself to some male grooming products and see how much better your skin and hair can look and feel?

Find all the leading Male Grooming brand and Men's Hair Products at Salonlines.co.uk. With expert advice and hair and beauty products for women, as well as trade sales, there's no excuse for lifeless hair or skin!

Lets Style Up With CHI

2009-05-26T14:33:00.000-07:00

By Jones Louise

It is really good to know that these days' people have become more conscious about their hair. It is true that styling up the hair has been practiced throughout the ages. But the consciousness about the health and growth of the hair has increased a lot in the recent years. People are becoming more and more serious about their outer appearance as well as they have become more health conscious. And behind all these there always remained the contribution of science and technology. With the advancement of science and technology things have become much more easier these days.

One such notable contribution of the latest technology is undoubtedly the CHI hair straighteners. In the time span of very few years the CHI hair straighteners have made its place in almost every household and has become the hot favorite of almost all fashion conscious people.
With its unique styling technology and various new functional features it has won the heart of everyone who thinks of styling up their hair with a hair straightener. Therefore there is no mistake if the CHI hair irons are called the most popular styling tool of this era. It has become the best seller by the introduction of the ceramic plates. And within a few years of its first appearance in virtually eclipsed all other hair straightening products available in the market for its unique advantages. It perhaps possesses the fastest heat up technology and thus saving a lot of time for its users.

Thus in this way the CHI hair straighteners and hair irons have gradually raised to become the hot favorite of all fashion conscious people. The other notable thing about CHI is obviously the price. It comes at such a reasonable price that is affordable for everybody. You cannot say that it's a cheap product, but still even you cannot say that the cost is too high. It's just in the middle of both. Thus making it the item of choice for any class of people. And the designs of the CHI products are really unmatched with any other product available in the market.

One of the most notable things about CHI is the use of high quality ceramic plates. The ceramic plates used by CHI are much useful. They emits negative ions which does a lot of help by closing the cuticle layer of the hair and gives a smooth look to the hair. The hair is made smooth and silky and as the cuticle layers are closed the natural moisture of the hair gets locked in. The emitted negative ions also do a great help in reducing frizziness of the hair. Thus the CHI hair irons are helpful and friendly to the hair in a lot many ways.

But though having so many features of the CHI flat irons there are also some arguments against it. Criticism is often done mentioning the fact that CHI flat irons does not have Tourmaline plates infused on Ceramic plates. It is true that the ceramic plates emits negative ions, but Tourmaline plates emits about sis times more negative ions than Ceramic plates. Why CHI does not use Tourmaline plates is really unknown. But still without the Tourmaline plates CHI is still the top rated Flat iron available in the market. And is the hot favorite of consumers and professionals alike.

Attractive chi straightener and chi flat iron you can get here at cheapest price.

Summer Hair Care - Grease is the New Shine?

2009-05-25T18:53:00.000-07:00

By Megan Winegar

For years, shampoo commercials have been telling us that we needed shiny, silky, bouncy hair. And actually, shampoo commercials will probably continue to do that. The fashion world, however, may not agree.

The new styles are leaning toward something a little more dirty: frizzy clouds, stringy, separated locks, teased pompadours. The super-straight hairstyles that have been popular are still in, but because flat ironing causes considerable damage, many women are waiting between washes so that their hair doesn't have to be fried as often.

In many ways, washing hair less often makes sense. Shampoo has always taken the necessary oil out of hair, which means the scalp produces even more oil than it normally would. After hair grows accustomed to being washed less often, the oil production goes down and recycled hair is less grungy. (For many people, though, this means going even longer between washings.)

For some people, it isn't even a matter of style or hair health - it's just easier. People with curly hair who prefer the straight look might spend two hours washing, putting in product, drying, putting in more product and straightening. It's a long, complicated process that leaves hair full of chemicals.

This style seems tailor-made for summer. Summer hair has always been a problem. The sun dries it out and makes it frizzy or straw-like. In humid places, it curls where it isn't supposed to or goes frizzy. Gentle shampoos and curling products can help, but why not work with the style at hand?

Avoiding situations where hair has more opportunity to dry out (blow-drying, flat-ironing) minimize the damage already being done by the sun. Finding ways to use the frizz to a stylish advantage can make this summer more carefree and less expensive.

However, eschewing all shampoo is a bad idea. Some women have decided that shampoo isn't ever healthy and choose to wash their hair with hot water, conditioner, baking soda, or vinegar rinses. Trichologist Lisa Akbari says this is a bad idea because it creates a waxy buildup on the scalp that can lead to scalp irritation and itchy bacteria havens.

Higher end shampoos like Bumble and Bumble de Coco shampoo or Paul Mitchell products are usually more concentrated and can protect and balance scalps. With fewer washings, more expensive shampoos are feasible, even for people who don't like to spend a lot on hair care. They last longer because not as much is required for each washing, and when someone only washes three or four times per week, they stretch even more. Sounds like a carefree summer for us all.

Jojoba Oil to Condition Hair and Scalp

2009-05-24T16:31:00.000-07:00

By Tim Faber

Healthy and beautiful hair and scalp are something everybody yearns to have, regardless of age or sex. However, constant exposure to pollutants in the air as well as harsh products and processes we use in the name of beauty can cause untold damage to our skin and hair.

Instead of increasingly adding additional harsh chemicals to your daily hair and skin care regimen, you should choose all natural Jojoba Oil products. Safe, effective, and environmentally friendly, Jojoba Oil is great used alone or with your favorite shampoo or conditioner.

Conditioning For Your Hair

The follicle shaft often becomes dry and brittle due to constant use heat, styling and coloring products - promoting breaking, frizz and split-ends. As we age, we begin to produce less of the substance known as sebum that helps keep our hair and scalp properly moisturized. Deep conditioning or hot oil treatments from a salon can help combat the problem but it is also expensive and time consuming.

Using a product containing Jojoba Oil can keep your hairstyle shiny and well moisturized without the outrageous expense or excessive time required by a salon treatment. This amazing oil can actually encourage growth and help with thinning, too!

Jojoba oil is also a great way to treat dry scalp and dandruff as well. When the scalp becomes overly dry it can begin to flake off and itch. It is very similar in properties to the natural oils your body produces and can give your scalp the proper moisture required to keep it healthy.

How Does It Help the Scalp?

Just as it properly conditions and moisturizes the scalp, it can help maintain subtle, soft skin on the rest of the body. Derived from the beans of the Jojoba shrub, it has no color or odor making it ideal for conditioning and moisturizing skin without leaving behind a greasy film.

It is hypoallergenic and does not oxidize or become rancid and stale. It can repel the growth of harmful bacteria and aids removing excess sebum, dirt and oil. which otherwise makes your style look greasy and lank. It is not overly heavy or greasy and allows just the proper amount of conditioning without looking dirty.

Shop online at HealthyHairPlus for a complete selection of healthy products for the hair and scalp. Find Jojoba Oil Treatment, healthy shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids.

Keep up the with latest advice, hairstyles and Hair Treatment Products!

Women's Need For Beauty

2009-05-22T16:26:00.000-07:00

By Tina Clark

Have you ever gazed at a painting by Monet and felt as if you had been instantly transported to a lovely garden in Giverny, France? Have you ever walked into a flower shop and felt wonderfully overcome by the blended fragrances of sterling roses, stargazer lilies, and English lavender? Or have you perhaps recently redecorated your master bedroom in your favorite colors and have now created your perfect sanctuary?

As women, we tend to be the caretakers of everyone around us, leaving little, if any, time for ourselves. For that reason, it's important that we circumvent the outer chaos of our hectic lives by surrounding ourselves with things that evoke calm and tranquility, if only for moments at a time. And those "things" can be as different and unique as each woman is different and unique.
We've all heard the old saying "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder." And so it is with this concept of surrounding ourselves with beauty. It's whatever elicits and captures this visceral response for you. And if you've been tightening your purse strings of late, try any of these budget-friendly, simple, but effective, "beauty" tips:

1. Buy fresh flowers from your local Farmers Market, where they're generally less expensive than the flower shop or even the grocery store. Or if an entire bouquet is beyond your current budget, one single rose stem will do the trick. Place them on your nightstand so that these fragrant blooms are the first thing you see when you wake up in the morning and the last thing you see when you retire in the evening.

2. Instead of listening to the news, play a feel-good CD as you're getting yourself ready in the morning. This may be your favorite music artist or perhaps a personal-growth audio. The key is that it moves you in some positive, uplifting way.

3. Commune with nature by taking a walk through a local park, or stop by one on your way home. Enjoy the simplicity of nature and all of her inherently calming ways. Let Mother Earth nurture you.

4. De-clutter and organize your office space or work area. You'll discover this will do wonders for reducing stress levels (not to mention create a more efficient environment).

5. Take a luxurious candlelit bubble bath before bed. Be sure to play soothing music. Then close your eyes and picture your body soaking away all of the day's anxiety and worries.

6. Reach out and offer to help someone in need. Run an errand for a neighbor who has been under the weather lately. Call a loved one who has been facing challenges and offer your support or simply a listening ear. Visit your local library and offer to be a volunteer reader.

7. Give yourself permission to indulge in a favorite treat on occasion, and do it without guilt. That tiramisu may be just what your soul has been craving.

So, whether your "beauty" is visual, auditory, sensory, or tactile, begin surrounding yourself daily with whatever that is for you. Be good to yourself and practice self-care. You'll soon begin to see your days magically transform into more positive and enjoyable experiences. After all, that's the "beauty" of it.

The Best Shampoo For Sun Damaged Hair

2009-05-21T15:05:00.000-07:00

By Tim Faber

Over-exposure to the sun and UV rays wreak havoc on hair follicles and protein bonds. The best shampoo for sun-damaged hair restores moisture content while helping heal and rejuvenate protein bonds that give life and body to our style.

Repeated exposure to the sun can break down protein bonds necessary for bounce and body. UV rays can promote splitting, frizziness and reduce shine and luster. Add a wind-blown effect or spray from salt water - as in a vacation to the beach - and perms, coloring, and smoothness can be stripped pretty quickly.

Restore Moisture & Repair

Consistent exposure leads to harsh effects and free-radical damage caused by oxidization. Lack of proper care leads to lost moisture and increased breaking and lack of control. Shampoos developed to maximize hydration while repairing and protecting from heat and UV damage can revive and offer protection from further oxidization.

This is the time of year we are flooded with calls on how to protect and repair. As a manufacturer, we have found shampoos and many conditioners are most effective if the right active ingredients are used in their formulations.

In particular, we recommend products with Panthenol, Emu Oil and Jojoba Oil. Emu Oil is one of the best ingredients for introducing and retaining moisture. It has transdermal properties (meaning it penetrates deep into the follicle shaft) and is a natural moisturizer. It is excellent for soothing and moisturizing the scalp as well.

Rejuvenate Shine, Body & Manageability

Panthenol is common for use to repair breaking and improve follicle strength. When used in conjunction with active proteins - rice, wheat, or silk - it helps improve the bonding structure of amino acids building stronger protein bonds. This helps protect the root and cortex from damage and aids repair.

Thinking of a Spray on Tan?

2009-05-19T15:58:00.000-07:00

By Julie Chrisler

Are you sick of your pale white skin and wanting to try out a spray on tan? After all with the likes of Paris Hilton and other celebrities getting spray on tans and looking great, spray on tans are quite popular these days. Many people swear by spray on tans, and they are better for you than exposing yourself to the suns harmful rays, or the UV-rays of a tanning bed to get that golden bronzed look.

Do you remember the old tanning products from years ago that used to produce streaky orange tans? Sunless tanning products have vastly improved in recent years, and it is possible to have that glowing brown skin that you have been dreaming of by getting a spray on tan. So rest assured, the products have much improved over the years. No more orange streaky tans in this day and age.

You might be wondering just how a spray on tan works. Spray on tans use a chemical called DHA which interacts with the amino acids in the dead layer of your skin. All the chemicals in spray on tan solutions have been used in cosmetics and food products for years and should not cause an allergic reaction. If you are worried about an allergic reaction, ask the salon staff for a complete list of ingredients in the tanning solution so you can review it prior to getting your spray on tan.

There are a few other things you should know about before getting your tan. You should exfoliate your skin just before you get the tan so the tanning solution will spread evenly over your skin without streaking. Pay special attention to exfoliating your hands and knuckles so you do not wind up with brown knuckles.

When you get your spray on tan, the person giving you the tan should have you put a blocker on your hands to prevent the palms of your hands from tanning since that is not a natural place to tan. If they do not have a blocker for the spray on tan to put on your palms, you can bring some Vaseline with you and put it on the palm of your hands, in between your fingers, and on the tops of your nails to prevent the tanning from occurring in those areas for a more natural look.

Be aware that you will not be able to take a shower for 6-8 hours after you get your spray on tan so the tanning solution will set. You might feel icky and sticky and want a shower afterward, but if you take one you will create blotches and streaks in your new tan. You must wait until it sets.

If there are any areas that did get stained during your spray on tan, such as the palms of your hands, you can apply a little lemon juice on them, or if all else fails, a little bleach on a sponge to remove the stain.

Once your tan is set, after 6-8 hours you should moisturize it to keep it looking its best. Warning - do not moisturize before you get your spray on tan or it will result in a blotchy tan. Wait until 6-8 hours after you have gotten your tan to start moisturizing. Moisturizing should help your tan wear off evenly as well.

You can wear whatever you like while you are getting your spray on tan. Some people get their tan in the nude. The tanning booth should be totally private. If you do wear clothing into the tanning booth, be aware that the DHA may cause permanent stains on whatever you wear.

Your ability to tan naturally will not be affected by the spray on tan. You will be able to continue to get a tan naturally in the sun or in a tanning bed if you like with your sunless tan.

Your spray on tan should last about a week. You might only want to get a spray on tan for a special event or just to try it out to see if you like it. Going once a week to get your tan sprayed on may be cost prohibitive as a single spray on tan costs approximately 30 dollars. Many salons do have packages that you might want to look into for a group of tans at a reduced cost if you are interested in weekly tanning sessions.

Julie Chrisler writes articles on a wide variety of topics. You can find sunless tanning products and more information on her blog about self tanning http://www.bestsunless.com/.

Bikini Waxing For Beginners

2009-05-18T15:38:00.000-07:00

By Tiffany Dunbar

Have you ever thought about getting a bikini wax? For some this subject is extremely personal while for others it is as natural as talking about which hair style to try. As anyone who has tried it knows, it can be a bit of a trial getting it done even for the most liberal of women. Not only do you have to go seek out the right professional to do it, but you can find yourself in some unusual positions known just so your beautician can reach those hard-to-get-at areas. But trust me, this is all quite normal.

However, what if there was a way to get this done without having to pay those outrageous prices and expose yourself to strangers? What if you could get the same results in the privacy and comfort of your own home? If this were the case you would find more and more women, jumping at the chance to get a bikini wax. Not only does it keep you from the embarrassing moments of spreading yourself out there, but it gives you a chance to save a lot of time and money. However, you'll need to get some professional advice before you begin.

It is important to note that performing bikini waxing is normally done by beauty professionals that have done thousands of waxes before you. So there are some techniques, hints, and tips you will want to look for before you start. Find one or two professionals who are willing to talk to you about some of those key points that you will have questions on, like getting around the more sensitive spots of your genital areas. This way you can be clear on what's involved with the waxing process.

Before getting your first bikini wax you will want to get an appointment with your doctor to discuss any health issues that you may have to determine if waxing is something you can have done. Furthermore, if this is your first time start out having a professional beauty therapist do the wax treatment so that you can experience the waxing process done to you to get an idea of what it will be like.

Then for those who are a bit more comfortable and experienced with waxing, you may want to find out more about doing-it-yourself waxing at home. This is something you should discuss with your beauty professional at the salon. There are home bikini waxing kits that you can buy, but you'll most likely want better instructions, preferably a bikini wax video showing you how waxing at home can be done. Also make sure the video features some of the top beauty professionals, who are licensed with many years of experience. The quality of waxing bikini waxing videos varies greatly, so if you don't like one make sure you can return it for a full money-back refund. Good luck!

The Use and Purpose of Hair Extensions

2009-05-17T14:51:00.000-07:00

By Helen Cox

If you grew up in the 1980's you may remember the original introduction of hair extensions and how they were low in quality and high in cost. You may also remember understanding why they were given up and dismissed as a fad. The thing that I bet you didn't expect however is that they would come bounding back onto the beauty scene.

The popularity of hair extensions is colossal, who would have thought that something that was so easily dismissed would now be one of the most sought after hair trends? There are a number of reasons as to why this is the case. One of these reasons is due to the amount of celebrities that have been seen wearing them because let's face it we all want to look like our idols! However another important reason is due to the fact they are now made to a high quality. You now have the option of buying synthetic or human hair extensions, the latter being the highest quality that you can buy. They are that good that unless you tell people you have them in, no one will be able to tell due to the way they match your natural colour and blend so well into your natural locks. And as they look and feel like your natural locks you are able to wash and style them as though they were.

Extensions represent quite a new development when it comes to the field of cosmetology so a lot of people may not have complete knowledge about it. This isn't a problem however and by no means should it put you off considering having them applied. The reason that I say this is because with the help of the right salon and stylist you don't need to know much about them at all as your stylist will inform you of everything that you need to know. Your stylist will be able to colour match your natural locks so it all blends in and they will also be able to demonstrate the best application method for your hair. All of this is done so that you get the most you possibly can out of your extensions but to give you a bit of a head start, let me inform you a little bit about them.

They represent clusters of hair that can be attached to your natural locks. They are used as a means of adding not only length to your locks but also thickness and slices of colour and as a way of creating layers and texture and believe me you will be amazed at the difference that they can make to your overall look. These clusters are generally made up of 30 pieces of hair that are usually joined to your natural locks through aspects such as wefts or bonds. All hair extensions methods are completely safe as long as you go to a trained and experienced salon to have them applied.

If you opt for the best option, which is human hair then your extensions are said to last for an average of four months, after this time you will need to continually re-attach if you want to continue wearing them but with regular visits to your stylist your hair will be kept in the best condition possible.

For all of your Hair Extension needs look no further than Inanch, as experts in the application and removal of Hair Extensions they are your best bet when it comes to having them applied.

How to Remove Ingrown Hairs

2009-05-16T16:41:00.000-07:00

By Kris Brawn

Ingrown hairs are those bumps caused by the tiny hairs not breaking out of your skin and continuing to grow under a layer of skin. They can be pretty tricky to remove, and can cause infection when not done correctly. Here's how to remove ingrown hairs by yourself with hopefully minimal pain.

Materials
Skin exfoliant
Rubbing alcohol
Tweezers
Warm water
Washcloth
Hydrogen peroxide or any antiseptic
Magnifying glass (optional)

Procedure

Observe the bump closely using a magnifying glass to make sure that you are indeed dealing with an ingrown hair. Try to locate the hair growing under it before doing anything else.

You may want to opt to wait for the hair to grow out in a week, as a longer hair may break out of the skin on its own as it grows longer. If you do take this option, make sure that you regularly exfoliate that skin area to encourage it to break out by making the skin in that area thinner.

If you have to remove the hair yourself, make sure that you don't bite off more than you can chew. If the redness of the skin is very violent, you may wish to seek the services of a dermatologist instead.

If the hair is shallow enough that you can see it through the skin, you may proceed.

Wash the area over and surrounding the ingrown hairs with warm water, to soften the skin and to make the skin pores bigger.

Sterilize the tweezers to prevent infection by soaking it in rubbing alcohol for several minutes.

Apply a warm compress to the affected area. Do not use a hot compress, only a warm one. The temperature may be enough to encourage the hairs to break away from the skin. Hold the compress in place for one to two minutes.

Do this step only when the area is bleeding or infected and will not release the hair. Use the sharpest edge of the tweezers to apply pressure and scratch on the skin to open it and release the hair from the skin layer.

Once the hair is released, do not pluck it out from the skin. Simply uncurl the hair and encourage it in the natural growing direction of the other hairs.

Pour hydrogen peroxide on the affected area to clean it out and prevent future ingrown hairs. Let it stay there to clean out the pores before wiping away.

Whether it's a really important activity or if you just want to broaden your horizons, you need the right guide at the right time, in all the right places. Anything and everything you need to know is at Monster Guide

Beauty is the Best Revenge

2009-05-15T15:25:00.000-07:00

By Catherine Sheehan

Whether you're jumping back into the singles pool after a separation or stepping out on a first date after going through a divorce, putting yourself out there again takes guts. You want to be witty, charming, and gorgeous - and most of all, you want to go back in time and reclaim both the years and the effort you put in to that jerk of an ex, so you can lavish them on someone who's worth it. But before you start beating yourself up about the time you wasted on your last relationship, there's one amazing fact you should be aware of: there is a way to reclaim your youthful, vibrant, beautiful looks you thought you lost along with your partner. And you can get them back for far less than a thousand bucks. Sound too good to be true? Then you'd better keep reading.

More and more women all over the country are coming out of relationships that we thought would last forever. Instead, our relationships ended and we found ourselves in a place we didn't think we'd see again - the land of singles. We're re-entering the dating pool at 40, wishing we could feel as feminine and sexy as we did when we were 30. And even if there is a way to reclaim the looks that time has slowly been stealing away from us, we don't have an endless supply of cash to throw at beauty products. We still need money to go out and meet new people, after all.

And that's where Botox and dermal fillers come in.

Botox Cosmetic and dermal filler treatments, like Restylane, Juvederm and Evolence, deliver amazing (and natural-looking) results that smooth lines and wrinkles, and literally take years off your appearance. And that revitalization can be yours, and can be quite economical, as long as you get smart about the hidden economics of facial rejuvenation. Here are the basics you need to know:

Botox should be priced per unit, not area treated. 99% of Botox patients don't know how many units they're receiving during their treatments - so make sure you ask your doctor and make the pricing work to your advantage.

The less Botox you use, the less your treatment costs. And small, highly-targeted amounts of Botox can be a great economical alternative to more expensive surgical treatments like facelifts.

A little knowledge goes a long way in saving money with dermal fillers, too. Like Botox, the more targeted the treatment, the more cost effective it will be. So make sure you find out which type of dermal filler is right for you (each kind of filler is designed to be used on a specific part of the face), and then find a physician who carries all of the different kinds of fillers to deliver your targeted treatment.

Always make sure you're working with an expert physician who understands that the longevity of a filler is based on the layer of skin in which it is placed (again, each type of filler is designed for a specific layer). And make sure your physician is skilled and experienced enough to understand the subtleties of Botox and dermal fillers, and knows which of the two is most appropriate to treat different conditions and areas of your face. Limit your selection of physicians to those that dedicate their practice to only Cosmetic Medicine!

So if you're returning to the dating world, get ready to have some fun this time around. That last relationship made you wiser - and thanks to Botox and dermal fillers, nobody will ever know it made you older. Best of all, after your Botox and dermal filler treatments, you'll still be able to afford to go out! After all, what good are fantastic results if you can't show them off to that great looking guy at the bar...who's starting to walk your way? So go grab a killer outfit and pair of sling-backs to match your amazing, rejuvenated appearance, and know that you're armed with the most important accessory of all - self-confidence.

Vitamins For Hair and Nail Growth

2009-05-14T15:32:00.000-07:00

By Tim Faber

While it may not seem like it, your hair and nails are extremely similar at a microscopic level.
Both are mostly composed of the same protein known as keratin. The structural differences you see between lie in the way the particles of protein are arranged. In follicles, these proteins form long, elastic strands while in fingernails, they form hard, almost flat structures.

If you find that your hair is not healthy and either keeps falling out or is growing very slowly, it is likely that your nails will not be in very good shape either. This is because they are both affected by the same nutrition.

What Causes Unhealthy Hair and Nails?

Of the many possible reasons, the most common and most likely reason is a vitamin and mineral deficiency. The human body requires certain chemical compounds that it cannot create on its own using more basic compounds. These particular compounds must be obtained through the food that we eat, and if they are not present in our food, will result in vitamin deficiencies in our bodies. These deficiencies show up in several ways including retarded follicle and keratin development.

How to Prevent Unhealthy Hair and Nail Growth

The solution to your problem is a good natural vitamin supplement. While hair vitamins are easily available, you will find that many supplements are artificial in nature and are simply synthesized in laboratories. These artificial supplements may cause unexpected side effects when consumed or may harm your body in other ways. The best thing to do is ignore artificial supplements and take only those that have been extracted from natural sources, which drastically minimizes the likelihood of triggering off any adverse side effects.

When looking for the solution to your hair and nail growth problems, you should look for hair vitamin supplements that contain the B group of vitamins, and certain elements like magnesium and zinc. The best vitamin supplements for healthy hair and nail growth are those that contain essential amino acids.

Healthy Hair Plus carries a complete selection of Hair Nail Vitamins - healthy hair shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids. Keep up the with latest advice, trends and supplements for Faster Growing Hair.

Shine on With Sleek and Sexy Hair

2009-05-13T18:00:00.000-07:00

By Kristy Carlson

You always see them in advertisements, magazines, and on the Internet: girls with really long, straight, and sleek hair with no flyaways from the roots to the ends. The most coveted look you always dreamed of having can be yours with the right selection of products and the use of a Karmin flat iron. Read on for the best tips to a sleek and straight crowning glory that you can be proud of all year round.

Hair Shampooing and Conditioning

The choice of shampoo and conditioner will basically be based on your hair type. You may find that some shampoos tend to dry your strands or cause dandruff so make sure to use the right shampoo for you. You will have better luck with shampoos with moisturizing features especially if you want to keep frizzles down to zero. Unruly hair can really be a nuisance to your goal of achieving that sexy look you always wanted. As an advice, shampoo only every other day so that the natural oil of your hair can help tame those dry strands.

Blow-drying or Towel Drying

Once you finish washing, you are left with two choices of drying it: with a blow dryer or with a towel. Sometimes the choice may depend on your available time to dry your mane and style it. If you have all the time in the world to dry it, then you may opt to gently blot drying your hair with a towel. Natural drying allows it to rest from too much treatments or use of tools. You can leave it loose while you eat, put on makeup, or read the newspaper.

Hair Straightening 101

Once your hair is almost dry, get your tools ready. For a straight look, bring out your Karmin flat iron. Since you want all your strands to really be arrow straight, you would need to divide them into small sections to make sure you iron all your hair evenly. You can divide into four or five sections clipping all but one at a time. When ironing a section, begin at the roots and work your way going down. Do the same step to the rest of the sections. After a few minutes, you will see a beautiful you with a great straight look.

Adding Some Shine

Once you finish straightening, you would like to give it a bit of shine. A shine serum can do the trick and makes your hair look healthy. Remember to use only enough shine serum for, too much of anything is not good and shine serums are no exemption.

It's Time to Shine

You are now ready to face your day feeling really confident and beautiful with your sleek and sexy hair. It only took you a few minutes of washing your hair, drying it, straightening it with a
Karmin flat iron, and adding some shine. It will look like you just came from an expensive salon.
Remember that caring for your hair's health will result to you enjoying hair day glam every day.

Kristy is a professional hair stylist and writer for My Hair Styling Tools, a leading supplier of Karmin Flat Iron.

Are You Using Your Cuticle Clippers Correctly?

2009-05-09T15:11:00.000-07:00

By Una Pecatti

The number one rule when it comes to cuticle clippers is to keep them as sharp as possible. It is impossible to gain good results from blunt clippers. Their job is to remove the cuticle gently without any force being applied. If their blades are sharp enough then the skin should just fall off after the blade has been closed over it. If not then they are too blunt and damage can be caused.

The Proper Procedure for Cuticle Clippers

Cuticle clippers should only be used once a cuticle knife has been used. The knife will pull the cuticle away from the nail plate, making it easier for you to cut it off with the clippers. If the cuticle was too near the nail plate then it would be difficult to close the clippers around it.

Once you have the cuticle where you need it to be, hold the clippers over the skin. Close them and then release the blade again. This should be enough to cut the cuticle off. If you find that it is still there then it is likely that your blades need sharpening.

Some suppliers offer a cuticle clipper sharpening service and it would be a good idea to look into this option. The good news is that a good quality pair of cuticle clippers will last you for a long, long time. So sending them off to be sharpened every now and again will really help you to save money in the long run. Obviously it would be a good idea to have more than one pair so that whilst one is being sent off to be sharpened, you have another paid to be working with.

Don't forget that they will also need to be cleaned regularly. All nail tools require some cleaning and cuticle clippers are no exception. You will need to wipe them with an antibacterial product straight after use and then they will need to be left in disinfectant for a set time period. Each disinfectant will be different so you should always follow the directions on the label. Keeping them clean will ensure that no infections develop and bacteria is kept to a minimum.

Overall it is very important that you use cuticle clippers correctly. Never use them to cut anything other than the cuticle unless you are using them on hangnails. Also if they are blunt then replace them if you cannot have them sharpened. You should never use clippers that are blunt as it will cause too much damage.

Are you looking for a professional nail tools company that not only offers you the right products but which understands your professional needs? If so then VivaLaNails.co.uk is definitely the right company for you.

Una Peccati, the creator and president of the company is the reason why VivaLaNails is so successful.

All of the products at VivaLaNails are created using only the finest materials and all come at extremely affordable prices.

Top 5 Reasons to Treat Yourself to a Body Wrap

2009-05-08T15:01:00.000-07:00

By Julia Smythe

Body Wraps are one of the most commonly asked for treatments in spas and salons all over the world. They are not only a relaxing way to spend a couple of hours- they actually offer some REAL benefits. I'm going to talk about the top five reasons that absolutely everyone should treat themselves to a body wrap.

1. Inch Loss:

This is probably the number one reason for people getting body wraps. We all feel at one time or another that we could slim down a little bit. Imagine you have an event coming up- the perfect dress lined up in your wardrobe... Just one problem, you've packed on a couple of pounds and that zip gets stuck half way up. What do you do? Buy a new dress? Smart people turn to body wraps. They are an amazing way to slim down and lose inches off your whole body! There are people out there who are disbelieving of the process, claiming that any inches lost are just water weight. This is not the case. The active ingredients in a body wrap stimulate the body to undergo an intense detox. The circulatory systems (both blood and lymphatic) are stimulated to speed up the elimination of toxins from your body. The cells are compacted through the excretion of tissue waste- and your body is measuring inches smaller!

2. Detox

As I mentioned earlier a major benefit of a body wrap is detoxing. The active ingredients in body wraps stimulate the body to eliminate toxins from the body at a much faster rate than it usually would. There are many benefits to having a really good detox. These include more energy, mental clarity, clearer skin and decreased stress levels. Not only that but it will also boost any weight loss program that you are on and help you achieve results much faster than you normally would. It is important that you do remember to drink lots of water to help flush out the toxins.

3. Firms & Tones the Skin

Body Wraps also firm and tone the skin. This is achieved through improving the elasticity of the skin. This is especially helpful if you are on a weight loss program and you are finding that the reduction in weight is actually starting to cause your skin to sag. A body wrap will help to smooth out the skin and even visibly reduce the appearance of cellulite.

4. Relaxation

This speaks for itself really- who couldn't use some time out for some R & R. Taking some time just for yourself, to get away from it all. A Body Wrap usually takes around 60 minutes. That is a whole hour just for you! You actually don't have a choice but to lay down for an hour and chill out! In today's busy society most of us could use an excuse to do just that!

5. Increased Circulation

This is an enormous benefit of body wrap treatments. Good circulation is vital to maintaining our overall good health. The blood contains nutrients and carries oxygen to our organs and muscles allowing us to function at our optimum capacity.

5 Tips For a Flawless Foundation

2009-05-07T15:14:00.000-07:00

By Dale Kathryn Grove

Beautiful skin takes work and in most cases is enhanced by artfully applied foundation.
Foundations protect the skin, even out skin tone, and give the skin a more radiant appearance. Many foundations contain pigments that brighten the skin and hide imperfections. Guarantee a flawless finish by following a few simple steps.

1) Select a Foundation That is Suitable for Your Skin Type. There are cream, full-coverage, medium-coverage, creme-to-powder, and mineral powder foundations. Cream and full-coverage are suited to normal to dry skin and will help to moisturize the skin for up to 6 hours. Medium-coverage suits combination to oily skin and controls oil for at least 8 hours. Creme-to-powder foundation and mineral powder foundation are suitable for all skin types. The majority of foundations are now transfer resistant so they won't fade away midday.

2) Select a Foundation Shade That Enhances Your Skin Tone. Foundations come with several undertones; pink, yellow, olive, golden orange and warm brown. The best foundation shade, for you, will disappear on your face as you blend it into your skin. Many women can benefit from a yellow based foundation because it will minimize redness from broken capillaries, rosacea and will also minimize dark circles under the eyes. Pink based shades are generally best for fairer skin tones. Olive undertones are great for women with a Mediterranean or Middle Eastern background, golden orange shades seems to work best for Asian skins unless they are very fair and warm brown shades suit most women from African descent. Be sure to change your foundation shade as needed if your skin tone changes from season to season.

3) Prepare the skin. Cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize well to guarantee a smooth surface for your foundation. Cleansing and exfoliating with a 3-in1 Cleanser gets rid of dry surface cells that can cause foundation to clump. Moisturizing ensures that the foundation will glide smoothly over the skin. Allow your moisturizer to dry before beginning your foundation application.

4) Foundation Application. Apply liquid or creme foundations by blending a small amount on the pads of your fingertips and then patting the foundation over your face. This ensures a lighter application of color than the older method of putting dots of foundation on the face and then spreading it out. If you need more coverage in certain areas let your foundation dry for a minute or two then apply more in those areas. Some women like to use a sponge for application and this can work well especially around the eyes. I would encourage you to use disposable sponges and throw them out after each application. A used sponge is a breeding ground for bacteria. Blend your foundation well along the jaw line so there is no discernible line where your foundation ends. Finish with a dusting of finely milled, pressed mineral powder in a matching shade to set your makeup.

Apply loose, mineral powder foundation with special application brush. The bristles should be soft, natural hair that let you pick up a precise amount of powder. The shape of the brush should have shorter bristles that are flat across the top. This allows you to easily customize the level of coverage you are able to achieve. Dip your brush into the powder, tap the brush to remove any excess and then the swirl the brush in the lid of the jar to distribute the powder through the bristles. To apply, start in the center of your face and work your way out to the hairline, jaw and across the forehead. For light natural coverage, a thin application should be enough however you can repeat the application if extra coverage is required.

5) Care for Your Skin Daily. Remember, foundation needs a good complexion as a base. All the makeup in the world will not look good over bad skin because it will look like a cover-up and nothing more. At night be sure to cleanse and moisturize to maintain your skin so that you will always look your best.

Is Oil Good For Hair?

2009-05-06T15:17:00.000-07:00

By Monica C.

People who have 'greasy' hair often blame over-active sebaceous glands for overproducing such a 'useless' compound. Oil is continually demonized in shampoo commercials, and people seem to be convinced nowadays that oily hair is the worst thing that can happen to hair. Is this true, or not? Let's examine the facts.

Why is there Oil?

We all know that oil is a natural product of the human body. No, it's not a byproduct it's actually a first-order product of specific glands in the human skin. So why do we need oil? First off, oil is important because it forms a protective barrier around the skin, nails and hair.

Without oil, the human skin would shrivel up, flake and erode horribly. The nails would also dry up and lose their natural suppleness. Oil allows the skin to glow, and to remain soft and cool even if the sun is beating down mercilessly in summer. Oil also helps block out the harmful rays of the sun.

Why Does Hair Need Oil?

If we take off from the logic stated above, then hair requires oil as much as skin and nails. Since hair is mostly dead hair cells, it would need the protection of natural oils to keep it looking lively and shiny. Imagine hair without oil: it would look like it had been blow dried for several hours without end.

Sebum is not the enemy. Sebum is your natural defense against the harsh, polluted environment. However, when sebum mixes with other undesirable elements like dirt, pollen and smoke the formula changes. Sebum can become undesirable when it becomes a medium for germs and other potentially damaging pathogens.

How to Remove Oil from Hair?

There's no way to really remove the oil from your hair. If you have very, very short hair and you find that the extra oil is making you look like a greasy grill; you simply have to wash your hair more often. By washing your hair more, you would be able to control the amount of sebum that is spreading across your hair.

Most adolescents have this exact problem, and usually, monikers like "greasy haired girl" emerge right about this time. While the monikers are often harsh and baseless, kids simply have to contend with the fact that this is simply a biological phase that would eventually pass.

Drugs for Less Oil

With all the hoopla that had emerged regarding excessive amounts of oil in the scalp, drugs have been developed to counter the production of sebum. Those who are really suffering from excessive production usually go to general practitioners to get hold of these medicines.

It should be noted that not everyone requires such drastic measures, and such measures are only put in place if the excessive oil is causing too many inter-related skin problems. Acne sufferers or those with rosacea are among those that benefit to a certain degree from anti-oil drugs.

However, for the rest of the population, better leave your sebaceous glands alone. It's very possible that the excessive production of oil is a non-permanent phase, and it too, will pass.

Coping With Dry Or Oily Skin

2009-05-05T15:00:00.000-07:00

By Daren Joel

When you stop to think about it, there are really only two types of skin. You either have dry skin or oily skin. Both of these skin types can be very problematic but there are several things that you can do to make yourself more comfortable and your skin healthier.

Caring for Oily Skin

If you have oily skin you already know that there are several annoying side effects. The first is the fact that you are extremely prone to acne. You also tend to have a shiny face and it always looks like you are sweaty.

The first thing you have to do is avoid eating any oily or sugary foods; saturated fats will only exasperate the problem. You are also going to have to wash your face more frequently than people who have normal or dry skin. When you are shopping for skin care products you will want to stay far away from anything that is oil based. You do want to use a moisturizer but you only want to use as much as your skin can quickly absorb.

If you are struggling with acne you might want to consider spreading honey on your face. The honey helps detoxify your face and clear your clogged pores. You should allow the honey to sit on your face for about five minutes. Dabbing a dollop of toothpaste on a pimple is an excellent way to get rid of the redness quickly.

Dealing with Dry Skin

Dry skin is uncomfortable and not all that attractive. The good news is that you don't usually have to worry about acne but you do have to worry about your skin cracking and peeling. In the winter you will usually have to worry about your skin becoming so dry that it will actually start to bleed. The best way to treat your dry skin is to make sure that you use plenty of moisturizer, the minute your skin starts to feel like it is too tight for your face you should start applying moisturizer.

When you are getting ready to wash your face, try rubbing some yogurt on it first. The yogurt will help pull dirt and oil from your skins pores while also hydrating your skin. Another natural remedy that works really well especially is your Skin is cracking or peeling is oatmeal. The cooked oatmeal helps your body shed the dead Skin while also repairing the damaged skin cells.

The Art of Perfume

2009-05-03T15:34:00.000-07:00

By Jeb Binkley

Just as the perfect outfit can stay in a person's memory, so will the fragrance that envelops them. Some people have stronger body odors than others, and not all natural scents are unpleasant. However, wearing the right perfume will ensure that the fragrance you are emitting is a appealing one. Think of perfume as an accessory to your outfit. Too much fragrance will make your ensemble overdone and clashing to those around you. You want just a subtle hint of fragrance that lingers in the air and leaves them wanting more.

Just as perfume can complete your outfit, it can also clue others in as to your personality and even your mood. Oriental spicy fragrances tend to appeal to sophisticated and confident women.
This is very popular with women who know what they want and working hard to get it. If you are more of a free-spirit, sensual and nurturing, then a woody fragrance might be more suitable for you. Romantics tend to favor floral scents. Citrus fragrances are often geared toward the vivacious, exuberant, and mischievous woman.

While one of these categories may appeal to you more than the others, you can always mix it up depending on your mood. For example, a spicy, exotic fragrance might be more appropriate for a sexy, yet classy night out on the town. A light, floral scent would be even more pleasing during a bright spring day. Maybe save a citrusy scent for those times when you're feeling particularly frisky and feisty.

Believe it or not, but the aroma that you wear can actually enhance or detract from your mood.
We are very sensory-oriented individuals and a simple smell can trigger all kinds of emotions within us. For example, some fragrances (like the smell of a fresh bread baking or a roast in the oven) can automatically make you feel warm and comforted because your subconscious mind associates them with good memories. But some people dislike the strong smell of roses, because perhaps it reminds them of a funeral in their past and evokes sad memories. Think of the "good smells" in your life and choose a perfume that leaves you feeling happy and loved.

Some people do not realize that different times of the year can also affect the fragrance of your perfume. During the summer months, when humidity is at an all-time high, our skin produces more oil and scents can last much longer. Popular summery fragrances are floral and fruity scent. Light floral fragrances are also fun for spring. Autumn is good time to try out woody, earthy tones with a little bit of fruit mixed in. During the winter, the coldness keeps perfume from evaporating and makes the fragrance linger. Take care to go easy on heavy, spicy fragrances during this time, as they can easily become overwhelming.

A few other simple tips are to avoid rich, heavy perfumes when you are going to be eating a meal. You don't want to overpower the wonderful aroma of the food that you will be eating (either for yourself or those around you)! Any time you will be in a large crowd of people, opt for something light and neutral. Too many scents in one room can be quite jarring to the senses.
Wearing perfume is an art. Let the fragrance work its magic and you can sit back and take credit as the artist who brought it all together.

Should You Wash Your Hair Everyday Or Every Other Day?

2009-05-02T16:18:00.000-07:00

By Kim Cooper

When it comes to taking care of our hair, we want to do the very best we can to help it to continue growing long and strong. Washing hair too often is a question that comes up often in terms of hair care. You will come across conflicting information but for the most part, you may want to consider how often you wash your hair.

Our scalps have a natural oil that it secretes and washing hair on a daily basis can strip our scalps of this oil. This can lead to dry scalp which in turn can lead to itching and flaking. Not only that, but you may also cause your hair to dry out more than normal.

One way to test out whether or not you can get away with washing your hair every other day is by not washing your hair for one day and seeing if you suffer from itchy scalp. If you are fine after one day without washing, then go for two days.

If you are fine after two days, you are more than likely capable of washing your hair every other day or every two days. This means you can prevent major scalp dryness and hair dryness. When you do wash your hair try to use a good quality shampoo to help prevent any further dryness.

It is a good idea to invest in a good conditioner as well. When you do wash your hair, you want to keep as much moisture as possible in your hair and scalp. The cheaper brands tend to strip the hair more so than higher priced brands.

You can grow your hair longer and stronger every day. Get your free "grow my hair long" tips by visiting http://www.hairgrowfastertips.com/.

Wrinkle Cream - What Works?

2009-05-01T15:33:00.000-07:00

By Matthew B Jones

There are literally hundreds, if not thousands of anti wrinkle creams, potions, lotions, and even pills for beauty that are on the market today. Youth in a bottle, jar, or tube are promised to anyone that is willing to buy into the beauty mythology. Some products work true wonders while others leave you spinning your wheels, spending your money, and scratching your head wondering what went wrong.

It is important to remember that just because a particular anti aging cream or anti aging skin care product doesn't work for you doesn't mean that the product doesn't work at all. What it does mean is that the product in question doesn't work for you. Unfortunately, your skin is unique to you and while you may share some qualities with others, you have your own unique qualities, as do they. This means that no one product is going to work for everyone. You must find what works for you.

But how can you tell if a product is going to be a good risk and have a better likelihood of delivering the results you desire?

Visible Results

Has it worked on someone else? Have you noticed that a friend has suddenly started looking younger and that the spark has returned to her eyes? Find out what her secret is. Unless there's a new love in her life or she's had surgery, chances are that she's found one heck of a new little beauty secret or wrinkle cream that a true friend will be all too happy to share with you. You can also browse through before and after photos or real people who have used the products to get a clue as to what kinds of visible results you can hope for. Some examples you should know about are Athena 7 Minute Lift, Dermajuv cream and Lifecell wrinkle cream.

Feel

Most anti wrinkle cream products that you find in stores have a tester that allows you to try out the cream on your hands. Try it. How does it feel? Is it oily? Dry? Does it feel OK? Athena 7 Minute Lift for example does not feel greasy, as it's absorbed right into the skin to lift the skin and to replenish nutrients. You don't want a cream that leaves your skin feeling oily and if your skin still feels dry afterwards it doesn't sound as though it's really doing the trick. Take your time and find a product that feels good to you before you buy or at least make sure there is a guarantee of some sort in case you don't like the way it makes your skin feel.

Ingredients

What in this anti wrinkle cream makes it work? What are the main ingredients? Knowing this can go a long way towards your understanding of how and why the product works. Never buy an anti aging cream or anti aging skin product without first checking out the list of ingredients. You need to know what's in the product so that you can tell what is and is not working for you.
Eliminating the things that don't work and isolating the ingredients that do work will help you far more than almost anything you do in your anti aging routine.

What are you waiting for? It's time to wage war against skin and facial wrinkles. The battle begins by finding the anti aging treatment products that are going to arm you best for victory in the days, weeks, and months ahead. Finding out which wrinkle creams work for you is the first step towards victory.

Get younger looking skin with an anti aging wrinkle cream that works. See these tips by Matthew Jones and reviews on the anti aging creams that gives results. See this review of Athena 7 Minute Lift here to see whether the Athena wrinkle cream really works.

Shape Your Eyebrows and Look Stunning

2009-04-29T16:10:00.000-07:00

By Layla Punzel

To the common woman, eyebrows shaping may seem like an indulgence for the hopelessly vain. But in truth it's a beauty shortcut. Regular brow upkeep makes a woman look neat and polished. Grooming woman's brows into the right shape is the first step, making them up is also essentials, leading definition to the face value. Here's how:

1. If you have thick, lush brows, forgo the pencil, instead ops for clear mascara-brow set or tinted brow groomer. In a pinch, you can also use an old toothbrush spritzed with a little hairspray to help brows stay in place.

2. Using brown eyeshadow as an eyebrow filler looks more natural and easier to apply. Choose a taupe or blonde shade if you have fair skin. Medium to dark brown for darken skin tone. Apply using soft strokes and a stiff, slant-edge brush, then brush brows into place.

3. For bald overtweezed spots, fill in first with a pencil using broken movements for a natural effect, then go over the liner with shadow using a stiff brush. For the ultimate grooming kit, go contains with tweezers, pencils, brushes and mascara for the perfect arches.

4. If you made the mistakes of having your brows tattooed in your earlier years and gravity is starting to take its toll - meaning your browline is actually now lower than you tattoo, do it tweezing the strays the going over the tattoo with a pencil or powder that is one shade lighter than your haircolor.

5. For very light brows, you may want to consider tinting them at the salon. Go for a shade color to your own hair color, but never black as it is too harsh. For very dark brows, bleaching is another option. Results last for around four to six weeks.

Additional Beauty Secret:

1. A brow expert can analyze your face and customize a shape that looks best with your face shape and facial features. A round face shape definitely requires a thicker arched shape.
Opposite rounded square arch, on the other hand, softens strong jawlines in woman with square faces. Take note, that your eye shape can also help determine the arch that suits your best.

2. Remember, facial contours change as a woman grow older, and you wouldn't want to be stuck with one shape for the rest of your life. Depending on how easy it is to coax them into place, have it what it call a good brow day or a bad brow day. Good days when fixing them was a breeze, and bad days when your left brow wouldn't budge, even with painstaking brushing and combing.

Soap Through the Ages

2009-04-27T16:11:00.000-07:00

By Shane Andrews

Did you ever wonder when soap was invented? In prehistoric times man would use just water to rinse themselves of dirt. Then around 2800 B.C. Jars were found in Babylon that held a type of soap mix. The ancient Egyptians loved their bath houses, as well as the Romans. Ancient Europeans made types of soap. The Celts, early English were also known for making soap.

Some of the earliest soap was made from animal and vegetable oils, salts or ashes. Glycerine soaps are a derivative of the soap making process. Soap was seen as a luxury item, however, by the mid 1800's America, became a major manufacturer of soap after discoveries of being able to use commonly found components such as table salt (sodium cloride) Soap is now considered a necessity rather than a luxury.

Today, quality hotel soap can contain a variety of different oils and scents to distinguish a particular soap. Ingredients can be checked to make sure that animals are not tested on, or animal fats used. There are many brands that do not test on animals to make their soaps.

There is a vast variety of packaging also available, from paper wrap, tissue pleat, cell wrap, parchment to name a few. Shape is also almost unlimited. Soap making has become a popular hobby now with many people learning the craft. There are a lot of resources available online or in the library.

Today, travelers know and expect that there is always a hotel soap available to them, even if a particular establishment does not provide shampoo or lotions, there is always soap!From humble ingredients, one of the most important products for the health, beauty and well being of the human race is available to us.

The Miracle Cures of Natural Essential Oils

2009-04-25T16:51:00.000-07:00

By Harold Hisona

Natural essential oils perform miracle cures. You may have the right not to believe, but again testimonials from those who were cured would make you do. So, you may wonder how these natural oils perform the said miracle cures. Again, it may not be possible to get the precise and systematic explanation as to how they do the kind of remedy. Why? It is because it is a miracle and nobody could and would be able to explain how miracles work. But if you would take a little time reading the entire content of this article, you will find out the special procedure used together with these natural essential oils that give the miracle cure. So, the important thing here is to know what these components are and the special procedure.

Aromatherapy

This is a special kind of therapy that makes use of essential oils. These are being extracted from leaves, fruits, herbs and flowers. All come from nature, thus, they are called natural essential oils, which are considered the basic elements for acquiring a healthy body. These ingredients will undergo a certain processes called distillation and steaming. The essence of the flowers is locked inside the liquid during the distillation process. These liquids are now the "essential oils". But the thing about them is the fact that they are easily passed off by evaporation. That is why they are placed in a small glass bottle where they are concentrated.

Aromatherapy has been traditionally used in Egypt, Italy and Greece way back 6000 years. During those times, these natural extracts were discovered to possess special therapeutic elements. Each plant is characterized by its own healing qualities and a unique scent. These scents are known to be the miracle aroma. Once a person smells and inhaled the aroma, the brain and the olfactory nerves are being stimulated. This is where a special type of healing took place. Once the person's memory and the brain's area of moods are stimulated, the endorphins and neurotransmitters are being released.

Once these essential extracts are released in the air, they create a fresh and relaxing atmosphere. You can diffuse them in several ways. This can be done through vaporizers, diffusers and oil burners. These are the best ways to release these therapeutic oils. Other option is to pour them in your bath water for you to have a fresh fragrant and healing bath.

Nowadays, people are using massage oils which are mixtures of pure organic and essential extracts. They were proven to work well in keeping the skin smoother and moisturized.

Essential oils from chamomiles, oranges, jasmines, lavenders, and roses reduce dry patches and skin allergies. And you too, can try adding these plant oils into your face packs for you to see the difference in your skin.

It is necessary to dilute essential oils with other liquids due to the fact that they are too concentrated. Common causes of highly concentrated essential oils are burning sensations and itching. So, better be careful too. Yet still, essential extracts are proven to be more beneficial in many areas. They are effectively used in controlling blood pressure, curing insomnia, aches and injuries, and essential for pain management. Essential oils are commonly used as massage liquids both for stress release and therapies.

Other good thing about organic essential oils is the fact that they do not contain chemicals or any synthetic substances. Apparently, because of its being pure, it tends to be more expensive.
Nowadays, more and more skin care products whether therapeutic or cosmetic have natural liquids added for better absorption. But beware of imitations. They may not be safe for your skin because they are added with synthetic fragrances and other substances. What you need to do is carefully check the labels and be sure to see organic oils in the ingredients.

So, how did miracle cures happen? That is when these natural essential oils are extracted from nature, accordingly processed and used in a therapy called aromatherapy. Imagine how this natural aroma does to your body. Wonderful isn't it? That is the miracle cure of natural essential oils.

Modern Hairstyles For 2009

2009-04-23T16:16:00.000-07:00

By Kathy Amarati

There are certain things you cannot make hair do. You should consider these before you choose one of the many modern hairstyles. When you try to make short straight hair go back from the face you are going against the natural tendencies of your hair.

Straight hair should be worn toward the face, because you must proceed on the assumption that the most natural thing for straight hair to do, following the laws of gravity, is to fall down toward the face. Taking advantage of this knowledge would mean cutting the hair to the exact length you want the finished hairdo to be, and then curling it ever so slightly to give a bend to the ends. Curls should never make more than one complete turn when brushed out. Hair is at its best when it makes half a turn.

Curly hair can be worn either down or back. The reason it will stay back or up at the sides is that each hair is self-supporting. It needs no other hair to rest on to support it. Curly hair, wavy or bent hair can stay free of the head and assume some shape other than straight. Curly hair, when left one length, will wave. Cut it short, confuse it, -and it will curl. The more you confuse it, the more variety of patterns it will assume. Confuse straight hair and you will have- holes or steps.

Approaching your choice of modern hairstyles with this knowledge will not only help you to understand your hair but will eliminate many a problem that is caused by trying for hairdos that the hair simply cannot retain.

In the light of these points, choose the hairdo you want, in some version that will be becoming to you. Then consider the time and the amount of care it will entail.

CARE
Hair care depends almost entirely on how much curl your hair has. If you have fairly straight hair and are in the habit of pin-curling it tightly, you will find that the pin-curling will not last as long as when you barely turn up the ends. This is true because the hair still retains its barely straight shape, causing it to fall into its own natural straight patterns. Fairly curly hair can be brushed into shape, and very curly hair can be pin-curled when washed to get the desired effect.

STRAIGHT HAIR
I have always been an exponent of the beauties of straight hair and have devoted much time to the study of its styling. Contrary to the opinion of many straight-haired girls, it has a very definite place in the fashion picture, because simplicity of line in hair styling is the most beautiful. My aim has always been to find new ways of cutting hair and to add more hairdos for the straight-haired woman.

To look really well, straight hair depends almost entirely on the cutting. When cut, it should not have the body or thickness cut out. When the body is left in, there will be more chance for any slight natural wave to be developed. Body also helps the hairdo to hold its shape better.

There are all kinds of straight hairdos, most of them smart and attractive, but those that hold their shape longest are the down and forward styles, since the natural line of straight hair tends to fall down. Proper cutting and shaping this tendency can be utilized for a hairdo with a very good line.

Therefore, if you are bewailing your straight hair, and think the only solution is to have it curled, reconsider and try some of the straight coiffures. You'll be pleased to find that they not only look better but that they will save you time, trouble and money.

CURLY HAIR
If you have the type of hair that refuses to lie flat, that refuses to lie straight and close to the head, it means that your hair is too wavy or curly to wear in a straight hairdo. In order to get the full benefit of your waves or curls you must choose a hairdo that utilizes your hair's natural tendency to curl.

With a bit of thought, you will be able to choose one of the many modern hairstyles which exactly suit your hair.

Products For Dry and Damaged Hair

2009-04-22T15:09:00.000-07:00

By Tim Faber

Products for dry and damaged hair replenish lost or stripped moisture while repairing split-ends and damage due to heat, chemical or environmental factors.

Breaking, tearing and loss of control are frequently the result of lost hydration. Wind-blown locks (i.e. Spring Break), coloring, perms or over-styling with flat irons or blowers can steam and frizzle breaking down protein bonds that keeps the follicle shaft soft and pliable. Lost nutrients, poor protein structure and loss of moisture leave styles frizzy and unmanageable.

Solutions for Dryness & Repair

As a manufacturer, we receive calls daily (especially during the spring and summer) asking for advice to repair damage. From a product standpoint, there are two options. One, use a moisturizing shampoo, and two, periodically use an oil treatment for quick repair.

Moisturizing Shampoo - While the term is thrown around quite a bit, moisturizing shampoos are formulated with specific ingredients that help replenish and restore protein bonds while maximizing absorption into the shaft and scalp. What to look for? Our most popular and successful products are formulated with two ingredients we think provide maximum benefit - Emu Oil and Panthenol. Emu Oil is a deep penetrating compound that is easily absorbed into the sheath and cortex of the follicle. It has transdermal properties meaning it penetrates depeply and easily and is a "carrier" oil - allowing it to infuse topical nutrition, vitamins and amino acids. Panthenol helps soothe scalp and shaft and helps lock-in and retail elasticity and moisture. Like many products prolonged and consistent use is recommended for maximum benefit.

Oil Treatment - There are several oils that will do the trick - Jojoba Oil, 100% Emu Oil, and Argan Oil. Our preference is Jojoba Oil. Though the others work great and are used for targeted treatments, Jojoba Oil (naturally-derived from the mid-western U.S. Jojoba shrub) mimics our natural scalp oil (sebum). It is a common additive for shampoos and conditioners and is used alone for direct application. It is well known for its' non-greasy properties and has proven excellent at helping repair damage while providing excellent hydration for scalp and hair dryness.

A dry hair shampoo combined with periodic Jojoba Oil treatments are excellent products for dry and damaged hair. You get instant moisturization and repair combined with a long-term solution to maintain moisture, add body and control, and protect from future damage.

Keep up the with latest advice, trends and natural ingredients for improved scalp and follicle health - including Jojoba Oil dry hair treatment.

Indoor Tanning and Skin Care

2009-04-21T15:49:00.000-07:00

By Michelle Louis

There is a lot of information floating around "out there" about the sun, skin cancer, and tanning beds. A lot of it is false and a whole lot of it is misunderstood half-truths. This article is intended to give you something to think about when considering tanning. Hopefully you will do your own research and make an educated decision that is best for you.

First of all, there are different types of skin cancer and some are not related to the sun at all.
Since cancer boils down to a mutation of skin cells, many people are born with it or born with a pre-disposition. So if skin cancer runs in your family, it is extremely important to learn what type of skin cancer they have and what you can do to prevent in yourself.

Basically, for the type of skin cancer that is caused by mutated cells - there are different ways to get these cells. As I already mentioned you could have inherited them. It is also possible to damage your cells with free radicals.

So here is a very basic summary of skin cancer "caused by the sun". The sun emits different types of UV rays. These UV rays can cause free radicals in your body. These free radicals can damage your skin (i.e. wrinkles, pigmentation, cancer). As you can see, the sun is a somewhat indirect cause of skin cancer.

So, can you prevent cancer? Well, theoretically if you intervene at any one of the steps I just outlined you can prevent the growth of cancer cells. You could not go in the sun and therefore never be exposed to UV rays. You could go in the sun but block the UV rays from entering your skin (ie SPF, sunblock). Or you can attack the free radicals in your body.

Free radicals are eliminated by anti-oxidants. You can get anti-oxidants in your diet by eating the right foods. Certain foods and vitamins are high in anti-oxidants, such as vitamin E and grapes.

Free radicals are formed in your body by eating unhealthy foods, pollution in the air, UV rays etc. They cause many problems and diseases, with many different types of cancer being one of them. Eating a diet rich in anti-oxidants may help your skin be beautiful and healthy, prevent diseases and cancers, and make you feel better.

Obviously, this is a very simplified description of skin cancer, free radicals, and anti-oxidants.
There are many other causes of cancer, including skin cancer, besides free-radicals; so do not think that anti-oxidants will prevent them all. However, I hope this gives you a starting point for research. It is possible to tan safely if you are educated and make good decisions.

Michelle separates fact from fiction about home tanning beds

2009-04-19T15:46:00.000-07:00

By Dorothy Smallwood

Swelling and puffiness under your eyes is a common problem, especially as you age. If you carry a look that is making a statement that you are tired or unrested, then you can find solutions by getting into natural substances that help you to reverse your age and to find a way to drink out of the fountain of youth.

Most are familiar with creams and skin enhancers that are designed to help you with puffiness and swelling under your eyes. However, most are not designed as a permanent solution to your skin, but work as a temporary fix. You may notice that, once the product comes off, the problems with swollen and puffy eyes continue. This is because the products are designed to provide you with a cover up over the puffiness, instead of a complete solution.

To make sure you have the right skin coverage, you have to begin finding enhancers that work to fight off free radicals that destroy your skin. Finding specific care begins with getting the natural mixtures and ingredients that are mixed within various products.

There are a number of ingredients or substances on he market that have proven to work wonders to rejunuvate the skin. Substances like Cynergy TK, Nano-Lipobelle Q10. You might think what these substances are with those strange names but actually they are substracted from Natural resources like the wool of sheep.

If you want to make sure you are getting more then a temporary fix for puffiness under your eyes, then beginning with the right products can help you to a younger appearance.

7 Steps to Summer 2009's Naturally Pretty Makeup

2009-04-18T15:47:00.000-07:00

By Janice Wee

Summer 2009 makeup tends towards pretty colors. Gone are the boring nudes. What are they compared to this season's dramatic eyes and glorious bursts of color? Summer 2009's color is a far cry from the nudes of past seasons.

How do you wean yourself off nudes and add some pretty color to your face without looking like a clown? Too much color, done incorrectly, can look garish, not gorgeous.

Go for that naturally pretty look. A bright, radiant look befitting a bride. Or the high school cheer leader.

Wear pink!

There are several ways to wear makeup this season.

You can focus on the eyes with dramatic eyes in pretty colors, but with the rest of your face pale, or in neutral tones.

You can focus on the lips for a sexy pout, lots of lashes, but the rest of the face relatively bare.
Or you could go for a pretty pink on cheeks, eyes and lips for all over glow.

Pink bridges the gap between color and nudes. It gives you a believable rosy glow that is radiant and pretty. Yet it does not try to hide the fact that you are wearing some makeup, albeit light makeup.

Here's how you can get that pretty pink all over look in just 7 steps:

1. Start with great skin. Or at least, the illusion of great skin by applying foundation or tinted moisturizer to even your skin tone. Pick one that matches your skin exactly. Dot it onto your forehead, nose, cheeks and chin and blend in thoroughly with your finger tips for a dewy finish.

2. Take a large blusher brush and pick up a baby pink cheek color if you are fair, a medium rose if you have medium to dark skin or fuchsia if you have ebony skin. Dust the blush on your cheeks. The dust the remaining blush on the brush lightly across your forehead, nose and chin for all over radiance.

3. Apply a pink eyeshadow on your entire eyelid with an eyeshadow blush. Pink a pink that is a shade brighter or darker than your blush.

4. With your eyeshadow brush, apply a lilac or mauve eyeshadow (violet if you have ebony skin) in the crease of the eyelid and the outer corner of your eyes.

5. Line the upper lash line and outer edge of the lower lash line with black khol.

6. Line the inner corners of the eyes with white shimmer eyeshadow. Dip a clean eyeliner brush in water, then run it over the eyeshadow and use that to paint the inner corners of your eyes.

7. Use a lip brush and paint baby pink lipstick on your lips if you are fair. If you have medium to dark skin, paint on a rose pink lipstick. If your skin is really dark, then use a fuchsia lipstick.

That's it. You've got a pretty in pink look that is perfect for a summer romance.

Dark Circles Under the Eyes

2009-04-17T15:28:00.000-07:00

By Marcus Ryan

You can instantly look ten or more years older if you have dark circles under your eyes. Dark circles and puffy eyes also make you look tired, washed up, and unhealthy, even if you aren't ill. Are you wondering what causes dark circles under the eyes and how to cure them? Glad you asked.

Let's start with understanding the cause. Interrupted sleep cycles or sleep deprivation are common causes of dark eye circles but certainly not the only cause. Sinus congestion and nasal inflammation can cause dark circles because the blood flow to the tiny vessels around the eye is impaired. This causes the blood to pool and form the dark circle we are all familiar with.

Fluid retention can lead to dark, puffy eyes. Some puffiness can be common with pregnancy, variations in hormones, age, and of course fatigue. Try raising your head ever so slightly by using a different pillow. This can cause stop the fluid from pooling under the eyes. A low carb diet can also reduce puffiness because it will stop water retention. Eating foods rich in antioxidants can reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Cold compresses can reduce puffiness and dark circles. Add a couple of drops of lavender in 2 cups of water, mix, then use a cotton ball to apply to the skin. Press excess moisture out of cotton ball before applying to the eye. Cold tea bags work well too.

There are also some good products on the market that can reduce the look of dark circles.
Regular moisturizing cream is not capable of doing that. Look for products that specifically tell you they can reduce dark circles. Many times eye cream will do both - reduce puffiness and dark circles. Eye creams with vitamin K are good because they will make the tiny capillaries just below the skin stronger and this will keep the blood flowing and reduce or eliminate dark circles. These eye creams can even help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles that can also make us look much older than we are.

It is important to read the labels so that you know what ingredients are present. You don't want to use products that are harsh to your skin. You also should not have to wait 30 days to see any results. You should be able to see a noticeable difference almost immediately. And don't buy based on price. Being the most expensive doesn't make the eye cream any better (or worse) than a lower priced product. It really is all about the ingredients.

Now that you know the causes of dark circles under the eyes you can pay attention and perhaps make changes to reduce your dark circles. And of course you can always turn to a quality eye cream.

Want the top anti aging skin cream as well the best eye cream for eye wrinkles and dark circles? Then see Marcus Ryan's latest review site and find out how to get these new anti aging cream products as free trials to see the results. These antiaging wrinkle and eye creams work in minutes before your very eyes.
