Free Tips To Make Skin Look Younger

Life is very paradoxical or is it just people that are paradoxical? Whichever the case may be, the paradox which I am referring to is that when we are young we all want to be older; we try to look and act above and beyond our age. As soon as we reach a certain stage of chronological maturity, we want to be young again; we want to feel young and, most importantly, we want to look young.
You who are striving to camouflage the grey in your hair with dyes and tints are most likely also trying to reverse the aging process of your skin. And who can blame you? Everyone wants beautiful young looking skin, why should you be any different? Unfortunately, it is not easy because you will have to battle against very powerful forces; biological, pathological and environment.



- The pathological force is the easiest to deal with because it merely requires that you bring your entire body to a state of physical and emotional health by committing to a lifestyle that promotes good health.
- The biological force is somewhat more difficult to conquer. There are evasive procedures such as surgery, various dermal peels and a variety of injections. All these procedure are very costly and have possible dangerous side effects. There are also countless cosmetic products in the market today but you have to do much research and trialing to arrive at the one that works as well as it promises and your skin tolerates it.
- The environmental force is unchangeable, at least in our lifetime. You cannot change the climate pattern that plays havoc on your tender skin, you cannot avoid the free radicals and you cannot deflect the ultraviolet ray. What you can do is try to protect your skin as best as you can with specific intake of nutrients and sunscreens.
So, what can you do to make your skin look younger? I suggest that you, first and foremost, look for natural and organic product. But beyond that …
- Clinical tests have discovered that creams that contain Coenzyme Q10, Cynergy TK and Phytessence Wakame which are easily absorbed into the skin, stimulate your body to produce the collagen and elastin aging has depleted from your skin. Why? Because these two proteins, collagen and elastin, give skin the elasticity and firmness that you desire.
- Get more sleep, even an extra hour each night will do the trick but you should have at least 7 hours. Sleep deprivation gives you dark circles around the eyes and dulls your skin.
- Hide some imperfections of your skin with liquid foundation makeup but do not forget to moisturize first.
- Your neck will show more aging than your face. Do not forget to daily protect it with a broad spectrum SPF 30 and a good moisturizer.
- Be sure that 25% of your daily intake of calories comes from good fats such as olive oil, avocados, flaxseeds, canola oil, fish and nuts.
- Eat five or six servings of vegetables a day plus two or three whole fruits.
- Get 10 to 20 minutes of sunshine every day but don’t forget to apply sunscreen to your face and hands.
- Quit smoking and stay away from second hand smoke.
- Reduce your intake of alcohol, caffeine as well as refined, processed and greasy foods.
- Eliminate stress and negativity and get daily exercise.

Honey for Aging Skin - Good Moisturizer

How does the idea of using honey for aging skin sound to you? If you are a little skeptical, don’t worry. You are not alone. I was a little skeptical at the beginning too. While I always thought of honey as a good moisturizer, I was not sure of its anti aging properties. So, I decided to do a little research before coming to a conclusion. I was in for a pleasant surprise.
The honey you get from stores is good for your health. You can apply it on your skin as well, as it is a good moisturizer. But there are two problems with using that honey for aging skin. One – it is just a good moisturizer. It does nothing to improve your skin condition or to treat your skin problems. Two – honey is very sticky and moist and it doesn’t feel good when you apply it all over your skin. So, what can be done? I found out a little later.


In order to get the right results, you should use the right kind of honey. Also, since it can get incredibly messy, you cannot always apply it on your skin. There needs to be an alternative. Honey as an ingredient in a skin care product sounds good, but how do you find the right product? See, when you talk about honey for aging skin, there are so many things you need to consider. But I found out a solution that is both very simple and effective.
I found out that manuka honey, a special type of honey from New Zealand, is the best choice when it comes to anti aging treatments. It is an amazingly effective natural product with medicinal properties that can treat a huge number of skin problems. It has antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties. It can also rejuvenate the skin cells completely and encourage new skin growth. And since it is natural, it is very safe to use as well. Have you ever heard of a substance being so effective and yet so safe to use at the same time?
So, needless to say, active manuka honey is the right choice when it comes to using honey for aging skin. Since it is very rare, you cannot expect to buy it from the nearby store. Fortunately, there are skin care products that contain active manuka honey. All you need to do is buy that product and use it regularly. Manuka honey has been tested extensively and it has been proved beyond doubt that it is both effective and safe. When I see my face in the mirror every day, I am happy that I made the right choice back then. So, do not hesitate and make the right choice today. Trust me – you will not regret it at all.

Treating Aging Skin - Natural Process

Contrary to what most people think, treating aging skin is really not that difficult at all. All it takes is a little understanding of how your skin works and what is good and what is bad for your skin. Once you know that, treating your skin problems becomes a lot easier.
Treating aging skin is all about finding the causes of aging skin and treating them the right way. It is a step by step process. First you find out what are the causes of aging skin, then you find out how those problems could be treated, and then you find the right substances to treat them. So, let us first take a look at the causes of aging skin.



There are three important causes of aging skin – loss of collagen and elastin, the damage caused by free radicals, and the loss of hyaluronic acid. Some of the common signs of aging skin include wrinkles, lines, dark spots, and saggy skin. You should take notice when these symptoms start to appear on your skin and treat them immediately. Else, one fine morning, you will find out that all the small boys in the neighborhood refer to you as ‘that old man’, if you know what I mean.
Now that you know what causes aging skin, let us take a look at the treatment methods. You should always remember that treating aging skin should be a natural process. You need not go for collagen injections, collagen pills, or costly surgeries. In nine out of ten cases, you can easily get rid of your skin problems and improve your skin condition to a great extent by using a good anti aging product regularly. The important thing, however, is to find the right product.
A good anti aging cream should be able to increase the amount of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin naturally. This is the only way to fight aging skin, as your skin is not capable of absorbing these substances from any artificial source. So, if you are considering collagen pills, creams, gels, or injections, drop that idea now. They do not work at all. It is just a waste of time and money. This is an important thing everyone should know about treating aging skin. I have seen a lot of people waste their time and money using these substandard products. So, you need to make sure you don’t end up like that.
There are some organic substances like cynergy TK and phytessence wakame that can increase the amount of natural proteins in your skin tremendously. They do so by stimulating your skin cells to produce more proteins. In other words, they just act as a catalyst to increase the amount of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in your skin. Also, they can rejuvenate the skin cells completely and encourage new cell growth as well.
Apart from these two, natural vitamin E, active manuka honey, and nano-lipobelle H EQ10 are some other substances that are very effective at treating aging skin. The most important thing you should know about all these substances is that they are organic. Hence, they are completely safe to use. No matter what your skin type is, you can use these substances without worrying about allergic reactions or side effects. This has already been proved by a number of clinical trials.

Neck Firming Cream - Rids Sagging Skin

How to find a neck firming cream that works is not easy because most of them don't work. Don't expect some expensive department store moisturizer to firm up neck skin wrinkles. Keep reading and I'll tell you what works and where to find it.
Moisturizers are not neck firming creams. They are made differently. This is not to say that neck creams don't moisturize but moisturizers cannot firm up wrinkled skin. Sagging skin needs some real help that moisturizers can't provide. What then does work?
Neck Firming Formulations
Anti-oxidants are essential in any skin care product but especially in the neck area. The antioxidants fight free radicals that damage all skin. The neck cream, with the antioxidants, should be of a somewhat heavy consistency. This makes the application more effective.
When applying the skin cream do so just below the neck area. This is a very sensitive part of the body that is easily affected by the sunlight. Give it special attention so the skin cream can do what it is designed to do.
Problems With Neck Skin
The skin structure of the neck is different than the face. Neck skin is thinner than face skin. This presents a different problem because it is more easily damaged by the sun and is unfortunately more neglected. Here's what I suggest you do.
Solution to Neck Skin Problems
Skin hydration is important not only for the neck but also the face, hands and forehead. The sun affects all skin but the neck can really show it. Sometimes the look is very rough like crepe paper.
Using the right neck cream everyday will help eliminate fine lines, wrinkles and that rough look. It may take a little time but smoother, younger looking skin should start to appear
Neglect of skin, especially around the neck, will take its toll. This is not only those who have older skin but any who do not maintain good skin care practices. Use a good skin care cream that has not only antioxidants but other natural, not synthetic, ingredients. Don't fall for cover ups and fillers. Many such products have bad ingredients and can do a lot of harm.
Neck Cream is a Must
For the reason that everyone is exposed to sun rays makes using a good neck cream essential. We usually don't see the sun damage right away but it does make a showing, usually in the form of aging skin.
We all may be "21 or less" but your skin will tell on you if you don't use the correct neck skin cream.

Wrinkle Skin Care - Warning Signs

All people desire to appear their freshest and it is a normal desire to look youthful. Anti Wrinkle skin care can decidedly make you appear a lot more youthful and give you authority to lead a more vibrant and more rewardful life style.
A majority of the masses look for the most beneficial wrinkle skin care system or wrinkle remover cream, just to their surprise they land up earning the products that don't work. All the claims and assurances for an efficient wrinkle skin care prove to be wrong.
I will give a brief overview of the natural reasons why this goes on. You will be horrified to know the true unequivocal results.

The Fraud behind Collagen based wrinkle skin care
Wrinkle skin care products or wrinkle remover creams that comprise of collagen as their component are the basic perpetrators in this hoax. The cosmetic wrinkle skin care companies are cashing in on the misbelief of the innocent consumers.
As you might know that collagen and elastin are the two crucial proteins in our body that impart us a healthy, tender and supple skin. And as we age, our body makes fewer of these two proteins.
And So, a natural and logical presumption that we form is that by going for wrinkle remover cream with collagen in it, we can make up for the collagen insufficiency and find a healthy and resilient skin. But, this is inappropriate assumption that we form.
The Clinical Facts against Collagen Wrinkle Skin Care
Scientific studies and clinical trials has turned up that collagen in wrinkle remover cream is unassimilateable by our skin. It is a established fact that the collagen molecule is excessively sizeable for the skin to soak up. In fact, the topmost stratum of our skin called Epidermis turns away the collagen molecule from entering within.
This sensational but scientific fact can be confirmed by referring any skin doctor or visiting any medical site that is renowned as a authority in the industry.
The Organic Wrinkle Skin care Alternative
The secret to getting an unbeatable wrinkle skin care system is to get such natural elements which induce your body's own spontaneous manufacture of collagen and elastin.
That would be farthermost more operative in removing wrinkles by nature as compared to a collagen based wrinkle remover cream, which is indeed a complete waste of your hard earned dollars.
Natural Ingredients for Wrinkle skin care
Let us look at a few of of these outstanding natural substances. Cynergy TK has been pioneered in New Zealand, and is now available also in the western world through the internet. You might find it astonishing, but it is actually derived from the wool of a certain species of sheep in New Zealand. 1) It has indicated a great deal of promising results in clinical trials. It has exhibited a higher output of collagen and elastin in the body. This plays a constructive role in skin wellness and a herbal wrinkle skin care.
2) You would be amazed to know that results have shown a 42% improvement in skin moisture holding and an 18% betterment in skin elasticity over a time period of 18 days. In fact, new cell proliferation elevated upto 160%.
3) Cynergy TK also plays a beneficial part in bringing down inflammation of the skin. An inflamming skin finally extends to dislocation of structural proteins in the skin.

Facial Clay Mask - Absorb Excess Oils

Clay has the ability to absorb excess oils, dirt and harmful toxins from the skin. Clays can be used in facials, body powders, soaps, and as a natural colorant for soap, lotions, creams, bath salts and more.
Cosmetic clays are made up of different mineral contents and each clay type has a different effect on the skin. The high mineral content of clay rejuvenates the skin while the clay exfoliates and stimulates blood circulation to the skin. Regular use of clay facials will remove dead skin cells, improve circulation to the skin, remove debris from the pores and bring about a smooth healthy glow. Each clay has the ability to absorb toxins from the skin but they differ in their level of absorption.

Below are a few cosmetic clays and their properties:
Rose Clay is mild kaolin clay that can be used on normal to dry skin to gently cleanse and exfoliate the skin while improving the skin's circulation. Rose Clay is tinted with iron oxides and gives a beautiful pink color to soaps and powders.
White Kaolin Clay, also known as China or White Clay, is basically kaolinite and is the mildest of all clays. White Kaolin Clay is suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. White Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin and can be used on dry skin types.
French Green Clay consists mostly of montmorillonite and is highly efficient at drawing oils and toxins from the skin. French Green Clay is rich in important minerals and phyto-nutrients and is the most commonly used therapeutic clay. Use it for facials for oily skin, and body wraps. This clay is not recommended for dry or sensitive skin.
Yellow Kaolin Clay is mild clay making it suitable for sensitive skin. It helps stimulate circulation to the skin while gently exfoliating and cleansing it. Yellow Kaolin Clay does not draw oils from the skin excessively and can therefore be used on most dry skin types. It can be used in soap and body powders. This clay is suitable for dry, sensitive or normal skin types.
Below are a few facial clay mask recipes.
China Clay Mask (a deep cleansing mask) 3 teaspoons White Kaolin Clay 1/2 teaspoon Bentonite 1/2 teaspoon Glycerin 5 teaspoons Water or Hydrosol 2 drops of rose geranium essential oil Mix the powders well. Add the glycerin and water/hydrosol. Add the essential oil last. Stir and apply to your face in a circular motion. Allow the mask to dry and then rinse off with warm water.
Soothing China Clay Mask (a gentle, soothing mask is a treat for those who have sensitive skin) 1/4 cup colloidal oatmeal fine 3 Tablespoons china clay 2 Tablespoons lavender flowers 2 Tablespoons chamomile flowers One or more of the following wetting agents: honey, floral water, herbal tea, water Powder the dry ingredients well. Place a few tablespoons of the mix in a small bowl. Add wetting agent to make a paste. Apply to face and allow drying for ten to twenty minutes. Rinse with warm water. Store remaining mixture in airtight container. For super sensitive skin, herbs can be left out or lessened. Posted from Stephanie of Conway, AR on the From Nature with Love website
French Green Clay Facial Mask (for acne prone skin) 4 Tablespoons French Green Clay 5 dried bay leaves 1 cup distilled water Boil one cup of water and add bay leaves. Slowly add the liquid to the clay to form a fairly thick paste. Apply to face and allow drying. Leave on 15 to 20 minutes then rinse with warm water

Face Make-Up Tips For Women - Face Highlights and Concealers

Women want to look their best at all times. Skin tints, body and face highlights and concealers are the most popular sought after make-up gears. When applying make-up, the first step is cleansing the face. An exfoliation cream is used to wash off the over night oil residue. This is followed by moisturizing and toning.
The application of make-up begins after the skin is moisturized and toned. A foundation matching the skin tone is applied which is usually of lighter shade than the facial skin. The concealer covers skin blemishes and adds a little color to the other wise pale cheeks. Using loose translucent powder with a brush sets the make-up.
For mature women, this is more effective than compressed powder which accentuates lines and wrinkles. A non-frosted powder under the chin reduces sagging neck line. The shade used is slightly darker than the natural skin tone.

Cream blushes in golden almond and copper tone is gently blended from cheeks to temples to produce a soft transparent effect. Eyes are the most expressive part of the face and highlighting them with make-up is one of the simplest ways to look beautiful. For this purpose kohl pencil, eye liner and eye shadow are normally used.
Eye shadow is the most creative cosmetic. The eye make-up techniques and choice of eye shadow colors should match the color of eyes. Prior to the application of eye shadow, a neutral concealer matching the skin tone of the eyelid is applied and then the lightest eye shadow shade is applied over the entire area from lash line to brow line. This creates a smudge resistant base.
Frosted eye shadow creates a younger look but it has to be applied expertly. Usually for a better appearance which emphasizes and creates depth in eyes, the lightest shade is applied under the brow with the darker shade close to the lashes while the darkest shade is applied on the crease.
Blends of pink and grey eye shadows are normally used by mature women. A soft eye brow pencil, matching the hair color, accentuates the eyes but use of black eye brow pencil should be avoided. For glamorizing eyes for night outings, shimmer highlights are applied.
Eyes look wonderful when the eye lashes are accentuated by mascara. When using mascara, application should commence from the root of the eye lashes and then to be moved towards the tip for better results. For a softer and flattering look, brown mascara does the trick. Lips are another primary facial segment. Special attention is paid to lips while applying make-up. Initially the lips are smoothened before applying lip color.
Foundation is applied and the lips are defined by a lip liner. For thick lips, instead of lip liner a Qtip helps in the application of lip color while thinner lips look fuller with light shades. Soft matte colors in pink, berry, coral or peach make the lips appear luscious.
Make-up procedure changes with the season. During rainy season, light and sheer make-up with water proof mascara, transfer resistant lipstick and water proof foundation avoid the risk of make-up smudging. During winter season, women look more glamorous and polished by using shades such as coffee, chocolate and berry tones for cheeks and smoky shades for the eyes. Gloss and glimmer are used in plenty during the festive winter season.
In summer a dewy fresh face is possible by using the lightest touch of translucent powder and colors such as golden green for eyes with light shades of bronze on cheek bones and chin to provide a sun-tan effect.

Free Beauty Secret Tips

Cosmetics are a multi-billion dollar industry. Department stores devote the best locations in their stores to cosmetics. These displays direct a great deal of attention to moisturizers, anti-wrinkle creams, emollients, exfoliation etc. all to make your skin soft, supple and younger looking.
But the simplest and often disregarded beauty treatment of all is … Are you ready for this? Water! We are always looking for the latest and greatest, most innovative products to improve our skin. But when you think of it, after oxygen, water is the most precious element we need. By weight our body is approximately 72% water and needs a consistent water supply to maintain itself.

Our largest organ is our skin. It also is the most exposed. Our skin is made up of millions of cells, each which needs water. Drinking water will actually plump up your thirsty skin cells making them softer, healthier and even give you younger looking skin . One of the ways to test for dehydration is to pinch your skin. If it stays even the least bit pinched after you let go, you are deeply in need of water. Drinking water also improves your skin because it helps every part of your body do its job. Every system in your body requires water. If you aren’t drinking the proper amount of water your body will become sluggish. Water transports nutrients, regulates your body temperature and removes waste. The process of flushing out toxins is beneficial to all areas including your skin as it will eventually result in a beautiful clear complexion. Waters’ presence also aids in digestion and thus helps your cells absorb nutrients. Combined, these give your skin that natural healthy glow. As you can see water really is the essential ingredient for healthy skin.
The amount of water you need to drink each day is constantly under debate. At one time it was believed that each person should drink 8 glasses a day. Unfortunately this general rule doesn’t take into consideration the difference in size, shape, gender. Other factors are where you live, how active you and what your diet is like also influence how much water you should drink. If you exercise a lot or have a physically demanding job your water requirements would be higher than a typical office worker. Also, if you live in a hot climate (or during the summer) your body’s water loss will also be greater and require more frequent replacement. Perspiring, which is wonderful for your skin, is water of course that will need to be replaced.
On the average, food will provide twenty percent of your water intake, especially if you include fruits and vegetables which have more water content. Juices and other non-caffeinated beverages will also contribute to the amount of water you consume. Although coffee, tea and other caffeinated beverages actually can work against this because they act as a mild diuretic which means they actually will promote your body to getting rid of them. For the average person five glasses of day is an ideal place to start. Five glasses of water a day may seem daunting at first but they are really quite simple to drink if you space them out throughout the day. Drink one glass while eating your breakfast, another at lunch and another at dinner. That is three easily taken care of. Now drink another sometime between breakfast and lunch and another between lunch and dinner.

You can just sip on these throughout the day. Depending on the water quality in your area, an investment in a small filtration unit that is in a small jug in your refrigerator is always a good investment. Others have found that having a water cooler in their home was just what they needed for their family to drink more. As a variation you can always zest it up a bit by putting a slice of lemon, lime or orange in your glass. If you do buy any flavored waters that are on the market today make sure that sugar isn’t listed as an ingredient.
If you are not accustomed to drinking that much fluid in a day, cut down on some of the non-water beverages and replace it with water. Slowly increase it to your goal. You may find that you have increased trips to the washroom but that’s okay because it shows that the water is really working. Soon enough your body will regulate itself so the trips to the washroom will decrease. It will be worth it and you will be amazed at the results! Water really is your skins most optimum beauty treatment and the most affordable. Give it a try. You will be glad that you did.

Free Guides on Lip Augmentation Procedure - Making Attractively Lips

At one time, if you had unattractively thin lips from either heredity or aging, there was not a lot you could do, except put on extra lipstick and hope nobody would notice. With anything less than a professional make-up artist to do it, this ruse seldom worked. Thin, lined lips with puckered edges were just something you had to accept.
Nowadays, however, a lip augmentation procedure is a common and successful form of cosmetic surgery. If done correctly, the improvement is so subtle that people won't recognize what the improvement is. They may ask if you have lost weight or taken a vacation in the sun.
How Lip Augmentation is Done



There are two different ways to do a lip augmentation procedure: injections and grafts. The substance you hear most about that is used for injections is collagen, but there are, in fact, a number of different materials that can be used, often with less risk of a bad reaction than with collagen.
The surgeon may inject the patient with fat taken from another part of his or her body such as the thigh. Here there is no risk of allergic reaction and very little of infection, since the fat is sterilized before it is injected. It is also possible to extract collagen from the patient's own skin to inject, or to take collagen from a donor's skin.
There is only one problem with all of these substances. They are all temporary. A synthetic chemical takes the form of tiny beads. When it is injected, the effects are longer lasting. Unfortunately, it is not widely available in the U.S.
Lip Augmentation for the Long Term
Grafting yields more extended results. The grafts can come from processed human donor skin. Again, this can come from the patient's own body fat (grafting is more effective than injection). There is also a fairly new material that is rolled up into a cylinder shape and placed into the lip through an incision.
The surgeon may also bring material from inside the mouth into the lips, but this is temporary, like injections. If you want to try out a new look before going doing a full surgery, start with on of the temporary procedures.
Recovery is much shorter for a lip augmentation procedure than for most cosmetic surgery. Injections require only a few days of rest, while it may be a week or two before you can return to normal activity after a graft.

Applying sunscreen produced from natural ingredients, with at least SPF 15 and above, will be an added advantage to block off the UV light. You can also spray some pure water to your face and body when weather is too dry.
4. Finally, healthy lifestyle or good living habit. Smoking is bad for skin as Tobacco narrows the blood vessels in the outer layers of skin. This reduces blood flow to the skin and nutrients don't reach the skin in required amount. Do not stay up late too frequently unless you need to work. Always sleep with the back of your face leaning on the pillow but not your face. When you adopt a position for long, you get wrinkles on that side of the face and the lines become permanent.
You must adhere to these tips in order to help fight the aging skincare problems

Tips on Acne Scars Treatment

For many people, the embarrassing effects of acne are not temporary. Scarring can leave people with the after-effects of acne for their entire lives. But now, thanks to many technological and medical advances, there is hope for those who suffer from acne scarring.
Thanks to a classification released in 2001, people can now identify which type of scarring they suffer from. Once the scarring is recognized, individuals can then seek specific treatment for their scars.

Rolling Scars - This scarring occurs when the subcutaneous tissue below the surface of the skin becomes tethered. The way to treat this type of scarring is by breaking up the subcutaneous fibrous bands.
Boxcar Scars – These oval-to-round shaped scars have sharp vertical edges. The deeper scars will require full-thickness skin treatment while shallower scars can be treated with skin resurfacing techniques.
Ice Pick Scars - These narrow, sharp scars give the appearance that the skin has been repeatedly punctured by a sharp tool. With this type of scarring, laser resurfacing or dermabrasion are usually the only forms of effective treatment.
Once the classification of scarring is determined, specific treatments should be sought:
Dermal Fillers - Injections into the skin cause the skin of the scars rise, giving your face a more even look. Common fillers include: fat, human collagen, and bovine collagen. This is a temporary solution and will need to be repeated.
Subcutaneous Incision – This procedure is used to break up rolling scars. A needle is used to go underneath the skin and cut the tethering bands. This can cause bruising for up to a week.
Laser Resurfacing - A popular treatment for many skin defects. A laser is used to essentially burn the top layer of skin to a certain depth. As the skin heals, it replaces the burned layer of skin with a fresh layer.

Tips on Fresh Fruit Facials for Healthy Skin

I was having tea with a friend last week, and we were discussing our extensive skin care regimens. As we were exchanging tips and advice, I realized that I have amassed a virtual recipe box of facials that can be done using fresh fruit
. As there are many of you out there that could benefit from this knowledge, I have decided to share my insights.
One of my favorites is the peach facial, which works very well as a tightening mask. Simply take a ripened peach, and remove the skin and the pit from the center. Place the peach and the whites from a single egg in a blender, and whip until smooth. Pat the mixture onto your face, and allow it to sit there for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water.


I have found that the apple mask is very good for normal skin. Peel, core, and quarter an apple. Chop the apple in your blender, and add two tablespoons of honey. Blend until smooth. Then remove the mixture from the blender, and refrigerate for approximately 10 minutes. Apply the mixture to your face using a patting motion, and be sure to pat until the honey becomes tacky. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and rinse with warm water.
I have also had great success with a Strawberry mask that my Grandmother told me about. The trick here is to use extremely ripe Strawberries. Add approximately ½ cup of strawberries and a ¼ cup of cornstarch to the blender, and mix until smooth. Apply the mixture to your face, and be careful to avoid the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and rinse it off with cool water.
The next facial mask is excellent for blemished skin. Chop a ripened tomato into small pieces, and place it in your blender. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice and some instant oatmeal or rolled oats. Mix until it is all combined. Do not mix for too long, as it will not stick to your face. If it gets too thin, simply add more oatmeal. Apply the mixture, and leave it on for 10 minutes. Scrub it off using a warm, wet cloth.
There are many different ways to care for your skin, and as many different products on the market. In my experience, the most natural treatments
provide the best results. Try to avoid products that have heavy perfumed scents or appear to use poor quality ingredients. These all natural fruit facials have worked wonders for me. I hope you enjoy them.

Beauty & Healthy Body From Within

With over ten thousand different dietary supplements on the market, how do you know which one to choose? All of these products promise a slim, trim, body that is free of fat, but not all of them actually fulfill that promise. Instead, most of them fall flat when it comes to trimming away that fat. The best way to choose the dietary supplements that will work for you is to understand how the human body absorbs supplements. Health and beauty products all work the same way once they are ingested. As the body breaks down each product, most of these products are destroyed by gastric acids.
Natural Collagen Colvita is different from all the rest of those dietary supplements, since this product actually swells while it is inside of the body. Why does this make a difference? As the Colvita swells, the body will absorb this natural product bit by bit. This is in large contrast to other products that are broken down right away.

Collagen that can be found within the body is a natural vessel for antiseptics. When the same collagen is ingested in the form of a pill, the antiseptics stay intact causing fat within the body to break down. All of this is possible thanks to the extensive testing of Colvita by engineers and specialists. In addition to breaking down fat within the face, skin, and body, Colvita also helps hair grow. These dietary supplements work with your body in order to stimulate the tissue that is responsible for hair growth. The natural ingredients inside of Colvita are the main reason why this product works.
So, what’s inside of Colvita? This dietary supplement contains fish collagen that has been freeze-dried in order to create a liquid form of collagen. Additionally, Colvita contains Fucus Vesiculosus, which is a type of algae that grows along the shoes of the British Isles.
Within each strand of algae there are numerous vitamins and minerals including vitamins B and C, beta-carotene, and numerous other natural substances. Colvita is a health and beauty product that helps to slow the aging process by reducing the amount of fat within the body, but there are other ways that Colvita can help keep your body healthy and youthful.
As we age, the collagen within our bodies begins to break down. This is precisely why skin begins to droop, sag, and lose muscle tone. Colvita helps the skin to hang on to that natural collagen by tightening, firming, and helping skin to gain back its elasticity.
This dietary supplement can also be used as a preventative measure for a number of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, cataracts, stomach ulcers, various sports injuries, dermatitis, and a number of other illnesses. Thanks to the numerous vitamins that are inside of Colvita, the body will be able to absorb and use all of these vitamins in order to fight numerous illnesses and diseases.
Colvita dietary supplements are full of vitamins and minerals that can help change the way you look and feel. Through the inclusion of natural ingredients such as fish collagen and algae, these dietary supplements work with your body rather than against it.

Get Eyebrow Transplants

Everyone has different ideas about what they find attractive in the opposite sex. In general, we are attracted to beauty associated with youth ... smooth, unwrinkled skin, glossy thick hair, straight white teeth and a firm body. As we age, there are many thinks we can do to preserve and enhance our looks. Cosmetic dentistry, plastic surgery, liposuction, Botox injections and skin peels are just some of the treatments we seek to bring back the beauty of youth.
In addition to the usual lines and wrinkles which we associate with getting older, there is sometimes a specific issue caused by illness or hereditary factors, such as hair loss. Hair transplants have been around for many years, and can restore thinning hair on the scalp. It has been mostly men who have sought these treatments, as they wish to prevent or restore baldness.




Another problem experienced by both men and women is loss of hair in the eyebrow. The fashion for curved or arched brows has caused some women to pluck out too much hair with tweezers, and these hairs have stopped growing back. A good shape to the eyebrows is very appealing in both men and women, and can have a dramatic effect on how attractive that person feels.
A make up pencil may be used to give the appearance of hair, but if not done carefully, the face may end up with a clown like appearance. Fortunately there are a few more effective solutions.
Eyebrow transplants were originally developed for burns victims, and involves hair follicles being removed from the back of the head and implanted into the brow area. Treatments take 2-3 hours under a local anaesthetic, and the hairs are carefully placed to grow flat against the face in a natural direction. Hair taken from the scalp grows faster and longer than natural brow hairs, so the transplanted hair should be trimmed to keep a good shape.
An alternative to pencils and implants is semi permanent make up. This is very similar to having a tattoo, and the brows can be enhanced with lines carefully created to look like hairs, using the colour of your choice. A natural look is achieved by choosing the same colour as the hair on your head, or slightly darker. It is also important to follow the natural line of the brow bone.
Another solution to consider is false eyebrows made from human hair which can be glued on to give a natural effect. These are available in a choice of colours, with the hair secured to a flexible gel backing which is fixed in place with special adhesive.

Free Tips on Treatment of Dark Circles Under the Eyes

Understand that the eyelid skin appears darker than the surrounding facial skin in all people-this is the normal condition and is caused by shadows created by the overhanging brow and the fact that the eyelid skin is much thinner than the surrounding facial skin. Below I am talking about exaggerated dark circles under the eyes that cause people to be unhappy with their appearance.

Causes of Dark Circles under the Eyes
Thin Eyelid Skin
The eyelid skin is the thinnest in the body and many people with dark circles under the eyes have extremely thin skin on their eyelids and around the eyes. This thin skin is an inherited trait. The dark circles under the eyes are caused by the fact that the purple color of the underlying eyelid muscle shows through the thin skin and creates a bluish or purple color. The color is darkest near the nose and on the lower eyelid near the nose.
Treatment of dark circles under the eyes caused by thin skin is very difficult because it is very difficult to make your inherited skin thicker. Cover up make up like Jayne Iredale Eye Cover, Dermablend, and Covermark are very helpful and my first recommendation. Frequent microdermabrasion and Retin A cream over a long period of time will build new collagen in the dermis will thicken the skin and provide some improvement.
There are new lasers on the horizon which are very effective at stimulating new growth of collagen in the dermis and these new technologies may prove very beneficial. Be sure to sign up for my free newsletter to be informed when these new technologies are available.
The Arcus Deformity discussed below creates a very severe dark circle in people with thin eyelid skin and correction of the Arcus deformity with Arcus release and fat grafting can be very helpful treatment for dark circles under the eye in these individuals.
Prominent Eyelid Blood vessels and Veins
Everyone has veins and blood vessels called capillaries in their eyelid skin. In many people however the veins are very prominent and the blood vessels add to the dark color of the eyelid.
To diagnose this cause of dark circles look in a mirror with bright light on your face and gently pull the skin of the lower eyelid tight. You will see many tiny branching red and blue lines which represent blood vessels.
You need blood vessels and veins to keep your eyelid healthy and alive. However when there is an abundance of smaller vessels which create a bluish or purplish hue to the lower eyelid some new IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) or laser therapies can be used to treat dark circles under the eyes in people with an excess of small capillaries and blood vessels. The very large veins cannot be treated.
Laser blood vessel treatment is a serious and potentially dangerous treatment for dark circles under the eyes and must be performed by a physician who is experienced in the use of lasers and IPL. Most importantly the eye must be protected by placing a shield over the eye during treatment so that the laser or IPL light cannot hit the eye. The laser and IPL light can damage the retina and destroy vision if the beams hit the unprotected eye.
