Experimenting With Fashion As You Get Older

January 13, 2010 · Filed Under health · Comment 

When you are getting older you might get wrinkled skin and other skin problems. Some people use special creams like anti aging eye cream to help them fight the signs of aging. However some people go over board and get obsessed with looking younger. They try everything to look younger even to the detriment of their health.

Some people buy medication that they do not know is safe or not. Whilst using anti aging products is all right in moderation and can help people there are those people who are obsessed with them. Try not to become obsessed with spending lot’s of money on anti aging creams. Some people even go to the expense of getting surgery to make them look younger.

Brazilian wax is used for removing hair around the bikini line. It is a popular way of removing any unwanted hair and is used widely in America. It is not like a usual bikini wax because it is much more efficient in removing hair. It removes hair from the front, behind and any other in between. Sometimes there is a strip left at the front, but some people like to have all hair removed. It takes around 15 to 30 minutes to complete the procedure. Most people get these done at a beautician where they are in a side room with a door so nobody can see. You are treated with the utmost dignity and privacy.

Trying different fashions can be lot’s of fun especially once you have had your bikini line waxed. You can wear swim wear and feel confident in it. It is also good to know what suits you and what does not. Try to take a friend with you when shopping but, make sure it is a friend who will be honest and not tell you something looks good when it does not. Fashion can be what you make it and some people have very individual styles.

Also try to go with fashionable clothes. Clothes fashions change depending on what season we are in. Try to match clothes with fabulous fashion jewelry. Browse shops and get a taste of what you like. Try jewelry on such as necklaces or bracelets before you buy them. If you like a classier look then you might want to try gold or silver items.

Natural beauty is the way to go when it comes to make up. However some people do not like the natural look even though this is better. Natural looking styles are much better for older people although the goth style tends to go for blacks.

Try not to buy clothes on impulse. It can be easy to go into a store and buy clothes just because they are in the sale and you think you have got yourself a bargain. Only purchase clothes that you have tried on and feel confident enough to wear. Let shop assistants help, but don’t be tempted to buy just because you want to please a shop assistant.

Ask shop assistants because that is what they are there for. Go to shops that give make overs and ask for one. Most professional make up artists will tell you to go for a natural look rather than too much make up. Go for a shade that is nearest to your own when it comes to foundation. Choose colors that suit you and are near to your skin tones.

Are You Hunting for the Ultimate Anti Aging Skin Care Product?

January 6, 2010 · Filed Under health · Comment 

As America gets older, we all begin searching for an anti-aging skin care product that is something like that elusive fountain of youth. For most of us that search ends, because we are discontented with anti-aging skin care products. 

There are multitudes of beauty related items for sale and it seems as though everyone now carries an anti-aging skin product. Some of them are good, some are bad, and still others do nothing in the slightest. 

Not all of the anti-aging skin care products out there will perform as advertised, and not all contain the all natural ingredients that they claim to have. 
Some may even contain oppressive chemicals and abrasives in them which will cause more damage to your total appearance than good. When purchasing an anti aging skin product, you must know what to look for. 

Always be sure to read the label conscientiously and be certain that you fully understand both the ingredients and their uses. The educated purchaser is the largest thorn in the side of the con man making an attempt to peddle his wares through falsehoods and deceptions. 

Many manufacturers of anti-aging skin care products will try and make them appear superior by including time familiar names that they’re sure you can recognize. a brilliant example of that’s the use of collagen as an ingredient. 

What they won’t tell you is this. 

Collagen is a totally useless inclusion in a topical anti aging skin care product, because collagen, of that type, cannot be soaked up through the skin. One of the major Problems with the firms in business today is that there is almost no real regulation about what they can claim that their creams can do. 

Due to the proven fact that anti aging skin care products are topical and not ingestible, control of the industry doesn’t fall to the tough Food and Drug Administration. 

Regulation instead is enforced by the Fed. Trade Commission. What this means is that regulation is only loosely implemented. 
The Fed Trade Commission is slow to act unless someone complains officially to them. 

This gives the maker of an anti aging skin product lots of leeway in the things that they claim that their creams can do. What are good anti aging skin creams meant to do, anyway? 

Well the basic goal is to try to excite the body’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and skin cells. There is a natural substance currently being used which is removed from the wool of certain varieties of sheep. 

Another thing that you would like is an an anti-aging skin care product which has strong anti-oxidants to destroy the free radicals created as a result of oxidative stress. 

One company offers new anti age skin care creams that have evolved a type of CoEnzyme Q10, for this purpose, and are at present the sole folk on the market to have done so. 

The target of the average anti aging skin cream is to get rid of wrinkles, dryness, flagging and staining brought on by time and wear. Some are simply better at it than others.  Be well informed, and be wary in your search.

Why Mice, And Millions Of American Women, Should Use A Natural Moisturiser.

December 22, 2009 · Filed Under health · Comment 

There are excellent reasons why mice and millions of American women should be using natural moisturisers.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology has published a very interesting study. In the study scientists wanted to study whether caffeine could cause cancer in mice, and as a part of the study each mouse had a moisturiser applied to it’s skin for 17 weeks, 5 times a day.

Although this was not being studied, the researchers were surprised to find that the application of these moisturisers on the skin of the mice “increased the total number of histologically characterized tumors by 69%”. In other words the mice that received the moisturiser had a very significant increase in their rate of skin cancer.

So let’s look a little closer at this study and find out why so many mice, and millions of women in America who use moisturisers as part of their daily skin care routine should be more seriously considering a natural moisturiser rather than the moisturiser they may use now.

Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin, or Vanicream were the moisturisers applied to the skin of the mice. All of these moisturisers containing sodium lauryl sulphate (SLF) and mineral oil.

Mineral oil is a very common ingredient in many personal products that you may use every day including cosmetics, skin care and anti aging products. It is a petrochemical product which means that it comes from crude oil and it has been linked to various cancers as well as other health problems. The reason mineral oil is used extensively is because it is extremely cheap.

Sodium lauryl sulphate is more well known as an ingredient in many soaps and shampoos, and many people avoid soaps and shampoos containing sodium lauryl sulphate because there is significant evidence that it is bad for your health and can even lead to cancer. But what is less well known is that sodium lauryl sulphate can also be found in many moisturisers.

Of course the fact that the scientists concluded that applying the moisturisers, which contain mineral oil and sodium lauryl sulphate, to the skin of the mice increased the risk of skin cancer doesn’t prove that the sodium lauryl sulphate or the mineral oil caused the cancer. To prove that there would need to be more extensive studies. Nevertheless it is certainly of concern, and may have you sufficiently worried to question whether or not you should be considering using a more natural moisturiser in the future. However there is also one further fact that is worth knowing about the study.

This is the fact. The conclusion from the study, namely that the rate of skin cancer in the mice was significantly increased, surprised the scientists, so much so that they decided to do the experiment again using a more natural moisturiser that didn’t contain either sodium lauryl sulphate or mineral oil. And when they redid the study using a more natural moisturiser they found no increase in the rate of skin cancer in the mice.

So you can see that there are good reasons why millions of American women, as well as mice, should be using a much more natural facial moisturiser rather than a moisturiser that they may be using now, which may contain sodium lauryl sulphate and mineral oil.

There’s hundreds or even thousands of personal products such as skin care products that contain chemical and petrochemical ingredients, many of which are known to have health implications. Some of these ingredients have been shown to cause cancer and may well be found in the moisturiser, as well as well as other skin care products that you may have even used today.

There are very good natural skin products available which do not use these chemical and petrochemical ingredients, and which use  ingredients which are safe for mice, and women, to use and which work very well as a natural moisturiser.
