SECRET TO HEALTHY AND SILKY HAIR & GREAT SKIN

Healthy hair and beautiful skin often begins inside and radiates outward. A healthy diet is important which means eating good food. Fruits and vegetables should be a larger part of your daily diet. Fried food items should be reduced. Drink at least eight cups of water in a day instead of alcoholic and caffeinated beverages. Exercise is good component of skin care. Regular exercise keeps the skin toned and makes you feel good.  Engage in activities like biking, walking, jogging and swimming.

Using moisturizers should be a must. Darker skin tends to appear ashy when it is not well lubricated. Creams and lotions are applied after showering when is slightly damp. For the face, it is best to use a separate moisturizer made specifically for your facial needs. A facial cleanser should be used in the morning and at night to wash off cosmetics and day grime. Dry skin tends to do better with non soapy cleansers since soap can be even more drying.

Black hair needs protection from the damaging rays of the sun, so does the skin. Make sure to use Shea Butter for your hair and sunscreen daily year round, to prevent hair breakage, wrinkles and skin cancer. Weaving wide brimmed hats while going outside will shade the face from the sun. Black skin is more prone to developing keloids as a result. Keloids are scar tissue caused by trauma or surgical incisions. It is important to treat the acne gently. Washing too vigorously and handling roughly will only make the problem worse. You have to find a cleanser and moisturizer made specifically for your skin’s need.

41 WAYS TO LOOK YOUNGER! PART I

1                     WEAR SUNSCREEN – I can’t stress this enough. A large percentage of the visible signs of ageing (wrinkles, age spots) result from the accumulative effect of ultraviolet rays on the skin, over time. Wear sunscreen and you’ll keep these at bay.

2                     GET ENOUGH SLEEP – the whole idea of beauty sleep is not a myth. Your body needs time to restore itself overnight and that includes your face, too. While you sleep, cells are busy repairing DNA and damage from the day before, so snuggle down and give them a chance to get on with it.

3                     USE A CLARISONONIC CLEANSING BRUSH – in the same way that the ultrasonic toothbrush gets teeth cleaner than the other method of brushing, this hand held gadget has bristles that oscillate 300 times a second and are designed to bounce dirt out of pores, for noticeable smoother – and hence younger – looking – skin.

4                     RESOLVE TO EAT MORE OILY FISH – Or failing that, high – grade fish – oil supplements. None of us consume enough essential fatty acids, which as well as helping our brains to function more smoothly are considered vital to keep skin – cell membranes in good health and therefore stop the skin from getting too dry.

5                     LEARN WHERE TO PUT CONCEALER – Dabbing a bit onto the skin between the inner corner of the eye and the nose has the effect of casting light into a notoriously dark spot and brightens up the face of anyone over 30. Sneak a bit around the edges of your nostrils, too, to minimize redness.

6                     TRY A NEUTROGENA WAVE – If cleanliness is next to godliness- and in the beauty canon, it certainly is – then get super – clean with this handy little battery – powered machine. It comes with pads filled with cleanser and has a vibrating motion for better de-clogging of pores. Not as powerful or as effective as the Clarisonic, but it’s cheaper.

7                     WEAR TINTED MOITURIZER – If your complexion looks even in tone, you appear younger. That’s not just supposition – it’s been proved by research. Try Olay’s Touch foundation.

8                     DRINK PLENTY OF WATER (H2o) – It won’t hydrate your skin directly, but it will improve the way your insides work and good gut health is soon reflected in glowing skin.

9                     EXERCISE REGULARLY – Whether it’s walking the dog, rock-climbing, scuba – diving, anything that gets you moving will improve your circulation. That in turn will encourage blood flow in the skin and help give it healthy, youth-enhancing glow.

10                 CUT SUGAR FROM YOUR DIET – The body doesn’t need it and sugar, according to nutritionists and skin experts, exacerbates a process called glycation, which accelerates ageing in the skin. A study found that two weeks off sweet stuff made my skin noticeably clearer and brighter.

11                 ADDS THE ODD FACIAL INTO YOUR BEAUTY REGIME - Regular TLC from a skincare professional will pay dividends in terms of a fresher- looking complexion with more bloom and spring to it. If you feel guilty about treating yourself, ask for one as a present.

12                 BOOK A DERMAROLLER SESSION – It’s the latest treatment in what might be called the “brutal beauty” movement and involves having a finely spiked roller passed repeatedly across your delicate facial skin. It may seem a bizarre way to enhance its texture but, once the skin’s repair-processes have kicked into action, generating new collagen and elastin, you’ll reap the benefits of finer, brighter, smoother skin. Not cheap, but many women swear by it.

13                 WEAR THE RIGHT PERFUME – One study last year showed that observers who sniffles a particular perfume while judging the ages of women, judged them several years younger. Bonkers? Maybe. But worth a try.

14                 TRY BOTOX? – It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but injections of botulinum toxin A, to give it its proper name, will certainly ease wrinkles brought on by frowning or squinting. It’s very safe, but results depend greatly on the skill of the practitioner.

15                 REVISE YOUR MAKE-UP – Most of us are guilty of falling into a make-up time warp and ignoring the fact that what suited us five or 10years ago might not look so good today. Also, cosmetic formulations are constantly improving, so newer products are nicer to use, with better results.....MORE TO COME!!! cull from Life&Style E....

41 WAYS TO LOOK YOUNGER!

So do you want to look younger and start as you get older? It’s really a silly question, of course. We all do. Well, not that much younger. But just a bit.

There is nothing wrong with looking your age- or with looking old, for that matter- except that few of us relish the idea. Certainly, we should learn to accept ourselves as we are, to embrace our changing faces and physiques as the years take a toll, but given the current national preoccupation- make that obsession- with the beauty of youth and with finding ways to cheat nature and look “good for our age”, its no wonder that we feel we need to make the best of ourselves.

Would we be better people if we looked younger? Would we be kinder to each other and would the little glitches in our lives sort themselves out? I rather doubt it. But there’s no doubt that when it comes to bolstering a fragile sense of self-esteem, if you think you look good, then you feel better about yourself and more confident, too, which can’t be a bad thing.

It stands to reason that, if you want to bring about any changes in the way you look, you’ll have to make a few changes in your way of life, which required sustained effort. Your sleeping partner, emotional balance, eating habit, exercise regime (or lack thereof), skin-care routine and stress levels – all of these have an impact on the face of your present to the world.

To improve the outlook, here is a whole bundle of things that you could try. You need to be realistic, though. As leading cosmetologist Dr Nick Lowe often says when lecturing on the subject of facial aesthetics, “Choose your parents with care.” How we look and how we age is largely – about 50 per cent – determined by our genes, and there is only so much you can do to change what your genes have in store for you.

None of these suggestions is going to make you miraculously appear a decade younger, like a candidate on a makeover reality show. Nor would they turn you into Claudia Schniffer or Keira Knightly. Pick out what appeals to you and give it a whirl. There’s nothing to lose but a few wrinkles.

SKIN CARE TIPS

Too much stress is bad for your skin, so make sure you get adequate rest. Yoga is a great way to relax and delay the aging process. Both AHA and Vitamin C help reduce fine lines and other signs of aging. Thus, use a cream that contains Vitamin C during the day and AHA bases night cream.  Be gentle, after all it is your skin do not apply too much or too many skin care products, a must to follow skin care tip.

Eat well: A well balanced diet will not only have you looking younger, but also ensure that the luster of your skin can be maintained for many years. Use a toner, it is important to keep your pores closed and skin cool by using a toner. Look for a brand that suits you or try rose water. Always keep a small bottle of rose water in the refrigerator. Saturate a bit of clean cotton with cool rose water and dab liberally on your face.

It is very important to remember that cold drinks are full of sugar that is not good for your skin. Instead drink some water, fresh lime and fresh fruit juices.

Well nourished skin results in healthy HAIR!!!!!!
