  The needs of a women’s skin differ from that of men and children, also, women’s skin care needs vary depending on the age. A poor diet, stress and an unhealthy lifestyle all contribute to the overall health and appearance of the skin. Habits such as smoking, eating fatty food and foods high in salt have a detrimental effect on the skin, In essence, they deprive the body of nutrients it needs to function efficiently.

Women are known to retain more water than their male counterparts. This has a negative effect on the appearance of the skin and causes it to look bloated. To keep control it’s very important that women are conscious of the role salt plays in this and try to limit it from their diet. Women are also advised to drink a minimum of 8 cups of water per day.

Working out regularly keeps your skin toned and makes it feel nice. If you moisturise the skin often you’ll help ensure it doesn’t become sunburned. Also, moisturising the skin can prolong its health. You should use a facial cleanser every morning and night. Dry skin has a tendency to respond better to non soapy cleansers.

Healthy Living to Fight Skin Aging

  The legendary search for the fountain of youth is all that it is — legendary.

Beauty experts and cosmetic companies have devoted thorough and continuing research on the best creams, powders, serums and chemicals that can help keep our skin– the most visible and exposed organ in the human body– from looking its actual age. It may prove successful for the many who have engaged in a great deal of beauty regimens and practices, including botox and surgery, but the fact remains that our body ages. All we can do is to keep it from looking and feeling old. Growing old is something everybody and everything just cannot avoid.

What many people ought to know though is that keeping our body and skin looking and feeling young need not be complicated. More importantly, it need not be expensive or invasive, it need not be chemical or synthetic.

Staying young and looking ten or even twenty years younger than our actual age, involves keeping our skin moisturized and our body detoxified. The best anti-aging techniques involve adopting a healthy and stress free lifestyle.

Lay off those synthetic and chemically produced moisturizers. Go natural and save up on your budget. The best moisturizer and anti-aging substance on earth is simple water. Just as a plant droops, dries and dies without water, so does our body - which is made up of approximately 70% water. Make sure you replenish fluids lost by drinking the popularly prescribed eight glasses of water per day or even more. Drinking water is the best way to keep your skin moisturized from the inside out. Keeping our skin moisturized helps it retain its suppleness, preventing wrinkles and crows feet which can be exacerbated by dryness.

Water likewise flushes out free radicals and toxins from the body mainly through urine and perspiration. Keeping our body clean keeps it young.

Another good way to detoxify our body and maintain its youth is to eat fruits and vegetables. Not only are these rich in much needed vitamins, it is also rich in fiber. Vitamins C and A are known to protect our skin from free radicals while Vitamin E helps keep our skin looking young. Tomatoes, bell peppers, citrus fruits like oranges, lemons and grapefruit are vitamin C -rich fruits and vegetables. Look for Vitamin A in squash, carrots, papayas and mangoes as well as in green leafy vegetables like spinach and lettuce. Eggplants, nuts and vegetable oils on the other hand are great Vitamin E sources.

Lastly, adopt a stress free lifestyle. This may sound impossible in the fast paced world we now live in, but its not. Make a habit of inculcating a good number of stress releasing activities in your day. Take a leisurely walk home from work. Give yourself the luxury of taking long warm baths in the tub while listening to soothing music or watch a relaxing feel-good movie.

If you can, allow yourself a visit to the gym at least twice a week, Enroll in yoga and meditation classes or you can even get yourself involved in a new hobby like pottery, handicrafts, quilting and jewelry making. These not only help keep your mind off the stress of your work but helps in fostering your creativity and passion, another way to keep you and your body glowing and thus looking and feeling youthful.

How to Avoid Spending too much money on Skincare

Filed under: Beauty, clothes, hair, makeup, trends — Admin @ 5:35 am

By Mercedes Aspland

  There are lots of myths out there about skincare and the products. Most of which will cost you money when they really dont need to. This article will help to dispel some of these myths and hopefully save you money in the long run.

1. Cellulite Products dont work

The first thing to know is that products that claim to get rid of cellulite dont work. If they did then everyone would have perfectly flawless skin. The only way to stop cellulite from occurring is from changes to your diet and lifestyle. A cream cannot do this.

2. Price does not determine quality

It is not necessarily true that the more expensive a product the better it is. Often the companies that make the expensive brands are the same as the companies that produce the cheap brands. For that reason you should not just accept the fact that more expensive brands are better.

3. Dont listen to Salespeople

When you go to a big store and ask someone about skincare they are probably working on commission or are affiliated to a particular brand. For that reason they may not be the best people to ask as they have their own agenda.

4. There is no protection from pollution

A lot of products out there will claim to protect your skin from pollution. I would love to believe that was true however pollution has its own way of working. There are no products out there that will stop pollution from reaching your skin and causing problems.

5. Natural is not always best

You will hear a lot said about the benefits of using natural products however this is not always the case. There can be benefits to using natural products but it all depends on your skin. There are lots of ingredients used in natural products such as citrus extracts or mint oil that can be good for you. However these products can also be irritants to many people and cause more damage than good.

6. Anti-aging?

Do you really think a cream can stop you from aging. The best way to stop yourself from aging is to wear sun tan lotion every day. In addition you should change your diet and lifestyle. All these things will help but will not necessarily keep you looking young. If all these things together dont necessarily work then how can a cream do the job?

7. Use different brands

Many companies will try to convince you that you should use all the products from the same brand or line of cosmetics. However this is not always the case as some products may be great for you and some completely useless. You should shop around and find the right cleanser and the right moisturiser. If these are from different brands then great. The most important thing is that you find products that are right for your skin.

The above myths are things that you will find are put out by cosmetics companies. After all the aim of their business is to make as much money as possible. For that reason they will try and get you to be loyal to them and buy as many of their products as possible. I would say to think carefully before you buy something, do you really need it. If the answer is no then dont buy it.
