Better, Younger Face without Wrinkles

Color Your Own Hair

2011-10-06T06:15:00.000-07:00

Normal colored hair is not the trend now and color treated hair is the game. Going to the salon is expensive and takes much of your time so its better to do things at the convenience of your home. Here are simple coloring tips or you:

Blond..James Blond
Chamomile tea can be use to enhance blond hair.Brew 5-10 bags with 3/4 cups of water. Let it cool naturally or if in a rush, you can add 4 ice cubes to cool it. Add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and place the mixture in a spray bottle. Spray on your hair evenly until all hairs are saturated. Cover hair in plastic wrap or plastic cap and let it sit for about 30-45minutes. For brighter results, use a heated towel and wrap around the head for about the same time.

Brunette for Fun
Dark color brunettes can use coffee.Coffee is a not just your simple cup of joe but also a great color enhancer. Using brewed coffe placed in a spray bottle, saturate your hair with the mixture and comb it until its evenly distributed. Leave on for about 20-30minutes. Repeat the process if you want to achieve darker result. Rinse well and shampoo. Use mild conditioner to lock in the color.

Bleed for Red
This is the easiest color to achieve. For an orangey, strawberry-blond, reddish mane, you can use carrot juice. Any carrot juice in a can is fine. Place it in a spray bottle, saturate your hair with the mixture and comb it until its evenly distributed. For a much deeper auburn red-tone manes, you can use beet. Do the same process with the spray. To ensure the vivid color, you can use heated towel and wrap around your head for almost 30mins then rinse off with mild shampoo then condition.

I do prefer home hair remedies because they are easily available for us. Its also practical to use and with lesser side effects compared to the chemically based hair dyes.

Breaking Up With Split Ends

2011-09-30T02:21:00.000-07:00

Taking care of split ends is more about maintenance than anything else. First thing should be to ensure that your hair is perfectly hydrated and well oiled. Doing this would not only treat split ends but also prevent it from occurring.

Several concoctions are available over the net but here are a few of mine, I tweaked a bit so that it conforms to what I like.

Avocado Split - While hair is damp, mash a ripe avocado in a bowl. Leave on your scalp and hair for about 30-45mins then wash off with lukewarm water. If you do not have avocado (since they are only present in the store when its their season) you can use mayonnaise as a substitute.

Organic Hot Oil Treatment - for this I prefer lavender oil as a hot oil organic treatment. My base oil is lavender oil but you can use jojoba oil. Using aromatherapy by mixing 10 drops of either rosemary or sandalwood can also be done ( I prefer rosemary because of the relaxing smell overnight). Adding the mixture to base oil and rubbing it thoroughly into hair. Some people doesn't like leaving them overnight but I do that so that the oil can penetrate well into my hair follices. Just wash thoroughly with lukewarm water in the morning.

Egg Yolk Therapy - 1 egg yolk and 1 teaspoon of almond oil are the simple ingredients for this. Mix well and apply on your scalp. Better use your fingertips to ensure that the mixture goes into your scalp. Let it sit for an hour and rinse. Wash thoroughly or the egg yolk residue might turn into debris that later on will cause dandruff.

The hair happens to be at its most vulnerable just after a shower, so avoid brushing it at this point instead use a wide tooth comb. Great looking hair can add a very emphatic amount of panache and elegance to almost any appearance. Go on say "goodbye" to split ends, its one relationship worth ending anytime. Hair care treatments need not to be expensive

Protect Your Body From Infections While It Is Still Early With Toenail Fungus Treatments

2011-02-18T19:22:00.000-08:00

Dealing with fungal infections on our nails is very easy as long as you take the necessary steps while it is still early. This is because fungi are still susceptible to the many toenail fungus treatments that you can use while there are still minimal in number. Once they have multiplied and has become well established on our nails, it becomes much harder to get rid of them.

The easiest way to prevent fungal infections from getting worse is by using toenail fungus treatments that you see being sold in your local drug stores. These are easily applied on the affected area and infection should start to subside in a matter of weeks.

This method is probably the easiest way to get rid of infections, although there are still other things that you can try. Various home remedies have been used by a lot of people and some became more popular than others as they seem to be more effective.

One very famous home remedy that many people have already used is the application of tea tree oil on the affected area. This can get rid of fungi by leaving a significant amount of the oil on the affected area for a few minutes everyday. Aside from this, you can also try using a strong mouthwash or Vicks vaporrub to prevent the fungi from spreading.

These home remedies are much easier to use as they are already substances that you can find at home. One problem with this is that the may be less effective than the prescribed treatment, so your treatment period may take a much longer time and you will need a lot of these substances before the fungi eventually comes off your nails or skin.

Whatever method you choose to do, it is best to take action as soon as you see an infection on your nails. If you wait until the infection becomes worse, you will have to deal with the many complications that come with it such as having weak and cracked nails, as well as the foul smell that usually accompanies such infections.

For infections that have become really bad, using simple toenail fungus treatments may not work for such cases. You may need to consult a doctor immediately to prevent the further spread of the fungi. The doctor may prescribe really strong drugs just to be able to control the infection and prevent any serious complications from developing.

So if you want to avoid having to deal with serious complications of fungal infections, treat them at once while they are still few with toenail fungus treatments or home remedies. This way, you will be able to save a lot of money as compared to having to consult a doctor and taking in very strong and prescribed drugs.

Organic Body Wash for You

2010-09-20T03:33:00.000-07:00

There are so many products out there that you can use as for body wash such as shampoos and soaps. But the trouble with those commercialized and famous brands of body wash is that they contain different chemicals that can be dangerous to our health, since we use body wash daily in our lives. According to certain people, more than 10,000 substances and chemicals are found in personal care products but only 13 percent of them are considered perfectly safe for daily use.

The federal or state government can only have little or no regulatory control over the production of such products that is why we will never know for sure if a certain product contains excessive amounts of dangerous chemicals. Good thing that there is an alternative to these chemical based products. And this alternative may in fact, be a better choice. Organic body washes are now available for your daily use. These products are completely natural and are safer for daily use.

But a person must be wary of some products that claim they are “natural”, always check the label and see if the product has only organic ingredients. Only if a product is 100% organic then it can be considered natural or organic.

Organic Skincare Lasts A Lifetime

2010-09-14T01:12:00.000-07:00

Our choice of beauty products is more than what meets the eye; it’s also about how we respect our environment and our bodies. There is a strong suspicion that chemicals are responsible for making our bodies toxic and are responsible for the current overflow of cancer. Toxins are believed to cause damage. It was also being studied and proven that synthetic chemicals cause disruption of hormone production and function. Therefore, it has paved a way for organic skincare to rise into popularity. Organic skincare are proven safer for children, kinder to the planet, healthier to the body and better for our skin. That’s why organic skincare makes much sense.

Natural skincare products perform as well or better than synthetic skincare products. They are far less likely to irritate skin, and they do no come with harmful side effects and dangerous long-term physical risks.

Organic Facial Products

2010-07-26T03:05:00.000-07:00

Often times, we take our skin for granted and disregards the need for a good skin care routine. It may be because you are too busy or you feel that there are more important things to spend your money with rather than buying some luxurious pampering items. The skin may not be able to talk and complain for your negligence but it has its own way of showing its bitterness and dislike to your inattention. Acne, white/black heads, spots, blemishes and wrinkles will start to appear and it will take you only a short time before you find yourself spending more money consulting a dermatologist to treat your skin problems.

Do not wait for this to happen to you as prevention is better than cure. Start a good skin care routine as early as you can. The main key for a healthy skin is to keep it clean and protect it from aggravating elements like dirt, smoke and ultra violet rays.

Use facial products like facial cleansers, toners, moisturizers, sunscreens, anti-ageing creams etc. in caring for your face. It is advisable to use organic facial products that contain plant based and non toxic natural organic ingredients that are safe and harmless to your skin whatever type you have.

More Eye Cream Tips!

Eye Cream Product Guide
Jen Hopkins

Everybody has a first time, and not all those are good, especially with cosmetic products. Used the wrong way, could do more damage than good, aging you for a good five years more, exactly the thing you were avoiding. The first few products I tried, wasn’t exactly my best experience, so I learned to do a little more research on the net, my friends, and my doctor, then came up with a more or less harmless way of testing eye creams.

1. Test
Testing may be an obvious initial move for some people, but sometimes, women, and even men get too excited to use a product, they forget that everyone has different skin types, and testing is necessary. Remember that the skin around the eyes are very sensitive, before using any product on it, try it on other skin areas. I read somewhere and would most definitely recommend the skin under the arms, they’re also very sensitive. If it works, move on to the face, and if it’s still good, then proceed to the eyes, and keep close monitoring on it for any negative, or positive reactions.

2. Low Concentration
If available, choose the one with the lowest concentration and use that instead. High concentrations often have bad reactions in that area. If I don’t get anything, I usually proceed with higher concentrations until I get the good results, without the irritation.

3. Specialized versions
The wrinkle cream you’re using most probably has a specialized formula, just for the eyes. Use that one instead. In most cases, the products on that line would have more moisturizer, and is less irritating, just right for the eyes.

4. Discontinue use
If some minor irritation occurs, you can try the healing agents in the market. I use the copper peptide creams, look for it in the ingredients. If the irritation persists, or if the irritation is significant, please do stop. It would be harder to get rid of the lines if more damage is done.

Pre-Eye Cream Kitchen Remedies
By Best Eye Cream

These may not be guaranteed solutions, but I love home remedies on solving skin problems, or just for pure beautifying routines. Some of these tips I got from my friends, those who spend most of their time in the kitchen. If you run out of your favorite eye cream, or waiting for the next delivery, you can't just get through the days without doing anything to maintain your skin's health. These regimens can help assist your eye creams, and the best of all, they're all natural, straight from your kitchen.

Reduce Eye Puffiness - The favorite cucumber to take away the puffiness in the eyes. Get a quarter of cucumber and slice them thinly. Before putting the cucumber on your eyelids, spritz your eyes with water. Allow the cucumber to remain in your eyes for ten minutes while you lie back and relax.

Tighten Baggy Eyes - To tighten the bags under the eyes, slice ¼ raw potato in thin slices, spritz your eyes with water, and allow them to remain on your eyes for ten minutes or more. Basically similar to our puffiness regimen, only this time with a different vegetable.

Reduce Crow's Feet - Crows feet is a bit more difficult to reduce. No more slicing this time. For this regimen, beat 1 egg white until soft peaks are nearly formed. Dab the solution around your eye, along the cheekbone and outer eye area. Allow it to settle and let it remain for 10 minutes. After the specified time, removing the film requires a little more effort than the previous two. Just spray the applied area with water, and then use a cotton ball dipped in cool water, or a soft washcloth to slowly wipe it off. Be careful of the applied pressure, or we may create new lines instead of reducing them.

Thicken Eyelashes - This is a bonus. Not necessarily an eye problem, but will also help with your overall appearance. To get thicker and healthier eye lashes, simply dab a cotton swab with castor bean oil, then apply on the lashes, the oil may be allowed to remain the entire day. Repetition of this will help lashes become thicker, and healthier looking.

Wrinkles=Expensive Treatments?

2008-09-09T04:52:00.000-07:00

Wrinkles are not pleasant marks on your young face so in order to eliminate it your immediate reaction is a treatment from your doctor. Botox, dermabrasion, laser treatment, and expensive anti- aging products that promises quick and instant results are some of the rampant temporary solutions you are presented without informing you of their possible harmful threats.

Botox may pose various complications to your health especially if you go with the cheap botox promos. You could be using a diluted version of botox and this can harm your health in the future.

Laser treatments pose a risk of scarring, burning, hyper-pigmentation, and may cause dormant viruses to be triggered leading to a more serious infection.

Dermabrasion peels your wrinkled skin but exposes your young fragile skin to external threats such as bacteria.

These wrinkle treatments don’t help with your cell renewal. They simply rub off your old wrinkled skin but the main cause inside your body is still active and will still produce wrinkled skin in a few weeks. Don’t you wonder why you are advised to maintain these expensive treatments? That’s because if you don’t, wrinkled skin will still appear and you’re back to your wrinkled face. You’re wasting money for expensive temporary and harmful solutions instead of targeting the main cause deep inside your skin.

Baggy Eyes

2008-08-29T04:49:00.000-07:00

Baggy eyes are different from other eye problems, ergo, treating baggy eyes and reducing the bags are also very different.

Baggy eyes are the result of fat build up in the delicate eye area. When this happens, the thin layer that envelops the eye called septum becomes weak and tends to sag. This layer results to the layer of fat, drooping, with a bag-like appearance.

For baggy eyes, eye creams or eye gels that promote elasticity would be best. These cosmetic products may help with minimizing the bags, but, for extreme cases, plastic surgery may be necessary.

Wrinkle Creams Tips and Products

Here is a blog and an article I found about wrinkles, eye problems, and tips on how to avoid them. Feel free to go over the two!

Eye Care Beauty - Kitchen Remedies
If you run out of your favorite eye cream, or waiting for the next delivery, you can't just get through the days without doing anything to maintain your skin's health. These regimens can help assist your eye creams, and the best of all, they're all natural, straight from your kitchen.

Anit-Aging Skin Care
Everyone of us tries to preserve our healthy looking skin by using various anti aging skin care products. Our busy lifestyle can cause stress and can lead to aging. This is the reason why most women are more concerned with their appearance and are willing to invest more money on a skin care product.

Repair Sun Damaged Wrinkles
Sun damage is one of the greatest causes of eye wrinkles, dark spots on the eyes, and basic skin damage. The sun and the damage it produces on the skin is actually easily avoided by sun block and hats, but unfortunately, as children, we don’t really realize these, nor do our parents. Thus, we end up with minor wrinkles and discolorations even during our 20’s. The good news is, as easily as it is avoided, given that the sun damage is not as extreme as hoped, it can be repaired slowly.

Life Cell Free Trial

2008-08-15T04:07:00.000-07:00

Life Cell Trial

Whenever I visit anti wrinkle or eye cream sites, I love trial offers because it gives us a chance to actually see if the product really works for us or not. It’s also proof of the kind of trust the company has for their product, and not just backed by their own opinion of what effects their cream has to offer. With that singular move, they’ve already proven their worth and honesty of not just wanting to rob us of cash. This is why I was ecstatic when I saw this post on an eye cream reviews site.

I've seen it virtually eliminate dark circles from under eyes, reduce puffiness, remove bags from under the eyes, and get rid of wrinkles and fine lines around the eyes over and over again.

It is really good stuff.

This is also good:

“Positives:

People often come back to me after buying it and they always say it worked for them
Real testimonials from real people
Before and after photos
120 day, 100% Guarantee
Real life alternative to botox
Medically backed
Contains Dithiolane-3-Pentanic Acid, Idebenone, Ascorbyl Palmitate (the good kind of vitamin C), Deanol, Acetyl Hexapeptide-3 (alternative to botox)
Try it free for 30 days (they don't even charge your card for 30 days)
Order by internet, phone, check
2 day priority shipping”

But I liked this part the best, I agree with the cheesy looking website by the way:

Negatives:
- It's expensive. It's also the best.
- Their website is really cheezy looking

Avoid Puffiness, Avoid Wrinkles

2008-07-28T06:08:00.000-07:00

One of the main causes of fine wrinkles around the eyes is eye puffiness. When we suffer from puffiness of the eyes, the skin expands because of the excess fluid in the soft tissues around the eyes, so if you wish to avoid wrinkles, one of the best ways is to avoid puffiness. Here are 4 simple tips you can follow to avoid these beauty hazards:

No more midnight drinking

I’m not referring to just alcohol here people, this includes all liquids like water. Drinking in general is actually healthy, we all know this, but during sleep, the body is at a relaxed state. The liquids taken in before the sleeping mode are retained in the body, and the swelling occurs causing puffiness.

Sleep on your back

Gravity is powerful, and the constant pull, thought very gradual, produces effects on our skin. Lying face down allows gravity to pull on the facial vessels causing the eye puffiness. Sleeping on your back though, helps alleviate the problem.

Less salt

Salt does not only come when we choose to pick up salt shakers. We also have to be careful with processed food, usually high in salt. Sodium chloride, popularly known as salt, retains water in our body, and as we have mentioned, retained water causes the puffy eyes.

Use teabags

Teabags may probably be the most useful popular tip against puffy eyes. Tea acts as an astringent for our face, as well as tightens it because of the caffeine which helps drain the fluids. Just steep the teabags, place them in the fridge for half an hour before placing them on your closed eyes!
