Beauty Q&A

Should i wash face more often as i have oily skin?

You need to cleanse , but do not overdo it , if skin is washed so frequently that it squeaks, you have overdone it and stripped the skin protective lipid film. skin is prone to dry out and possible sebum outbreak due to the disequilibrium state. To cleanse it right the key lies with an effective but mild cleanser. which give smooth and rich lather , hydrating skin while dissolving away impurities

Weekends are, by far, my 'splurge' time. I really look forward toeating out at our favorite restaurants; enjoying time with friends and family, while indulging in some epicurean delights. That said, eating out at restaurants more often than not can do damage to a healthy diet. This isn't only true for those trying to lose weight, but also for those trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Fact is, even those dishes that 'appear' healthy on the menu, often come with hidden ingredients like butter and oils that can take a seemingly healthy dish and turn it into a calorie and fat intensive meal.

So how can you ensure your choices while eating out are healthy? Here is a quick guide of foods you should stick with when you navigate the restaurant menu:

1. Salads: Salads can be very healthy...and they can also be devastatingly unhealthy. Here's how to ensure that they are the healthful meal you are looking for:

BEST:

- Salads with fruit, veggies, beans and lean protein, such as grilled chicken or fish.
- Dressings that are vinaigrette based. Always have the waiter or waitress bring the dressing on the side. When you get the dressing, use it sparingly.

WORST:

- Salads containing cheese, sour cream, nuts, tortilla chips or strips, croutons, meats, fried chicken or fried fish. However, if most of the salad doesn't contain these ingredients, there is nothing wrong with asking the waiter/waitress to exclude the ingredient that isn't so healthy.
- Cream or mayo based dressings. (E.g., Ranch, Blue Cheese, Thousand Island, French)

2. Soups: Soups can be a healthy option, but often, they are loaded with butter, oil and highly saturated creams or dairy (cheese).

BEST: Broth or stock based soups that contain fish or chicken, veggies and beans. (E.g., Manhattan Clam Chowder, Gazpacho, Minestrone, Chicken Noodle))
WORST: Those with cream, cheese or milk. (E.g., Bisques, New England Clam Chowder, Broccoli Cheese)

3. Other Appetizers: Appetizers are a great way of eating light. You can order two appetizers (such as a salad and a protein based appetizer) to keep your portion under control, and get a couple of things you like. That said, a lot of appetizers are fried or greasy, so beware.

BEST:

- Vegetable based appetizers (E.g., salads, grilled vegetables, veggie spring rolls)
- Those with grilled, boiled or seared lean meats (E.g., Chicken skewers)
- Fish appetizers that are cooked or sushi style (E.g., Shrimp Cocktail, tuna sushi roll)

WORST:

- Those that are fried (E.g., fried shrimp, chicken fingers, dumplings, etc.)
- Those with cheese (E.g., artichoke/spinach dip, cheese fritters, etc.)
- Those that come with chips

4. Side Dishes: Many side dishes are vegetable based, which is great for getting in fiber and needed nutrients.

Potatoes:
BEST: Opt for whole boiled or baked potatoes or sweet potatoes.
WORST: Stay away from mashed or fried potatoes.

Veggies:
BEST: Opt for steamed or grilled veggies. Be careful though, grilled vegetables can be very oily.
WORST:
- Those mixed with milk, cream or cheese (E.g., creamed spinach, broccoli and cheese)
- Sauteed vegetables. They are cooked with a lot of oil and if they are cooked too much, they may not be as nutrient dense as their steamed counterparts.

5. Entrees:

Meats, Chicken and Fish:
BEST: Grilled chicken or fish. Grilled meats are okay if they are very lean.
WORST:
- Breaded Fish or Chicken (E.g., Chicken Francese, Chicken Parmigiana)
- Stuffed Meats (E.g., Chicken Cordon Bleu, Stuffed Lobster)
- Avoid meats and fish that are fried (E.g., Fried Shrimp, Fried Chicken)
- Fatty meats or fatty pork (E.g., sausage)

Pastas:
BEST:
- Those with tomato or broth based sauces (E.g., marinara, puttanesca, olive oil and garlic)
- Those with vegetables and grilled or lightly sauteed chicken or fish

WORST: Those with cream, cheese or meat based sauces (E.g., a la vodka, pesto, alfredo, bolognese)

Retin-A is an acne treatment that also removes wrinkles and improves skin appearance and condition

Retin-A, containing tretinoin (sometimes called retinolic acid), derived from vitamin A, can reduce severe wrinkles within only 6-weeks and completely remove fine lines. Indeed, many expensive skin-creams currently on sale boast of their extremely minute quantities of retinolic acid!

Retin-A acts by improving blood supply to the skin, which in-turn increases the turnover of dead skin cells. Accordingly, new more subtle and younger looking skin appears at the surface. An additional use of Retin-A is to speed up the rate of skin repair after cosmetic surgery.

For the New Mom

All new mothers could use some "me" time. Help her kick back with the Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy "Gift of Relaxation" kit, $35. It includes a eucalyptus spearmint scented scrub, lotion, pillow mist and sponge.
Another perfect new-mom kit is the Motherhood Essentials Kit by Belli Skin Care, $38.99. The nursing cream, eye brightening cream, body firming serum and hand sanitizer are all made with baby-safe ingredients and will help her feel back to her "old self."

Wasn't life easier when we could make a construction paper card for mom and call it a gift? Those were the days. But because we're not six anymore, we sadly can't pull that off. That's why I was happy to get these beauty gift suggestions. I'm sick of giving the expected flowers and a card anyway. And I'll be able to buy these online (2 a.m. shopping anyone?) and thanks to the crappy economy, I can pretty much assume I'll get free shipping. Pretty sweet. So, what are you buying your mom or sister (who's a new mom) this year? Have any other ideas for me?

1. Measure your hair's health
Healthy hair is shiny, supple and silky. If none of these adjectives applies to your locks, take a strand test to identify what could be doing the damage: Pull a wet strand from your scalp and stretch it out. Hair should stretch one-fifth of its length without breaking and bounce back. If it breaks, it's lacking moisture.

If the hair keeps stretching, it's lacking protein, probably due to chemical treatments that have weakened the bonds in each strand––like color processes, straightening or perms. The right conditioning treatments can help in both cases.

2. Opt for a cut that has substance as well as style
If your hair takes more than 15 minutes to style and even then seems mis-shapen, you've got the wrong cut. Next time you go to the salon, meet with your stylist before you shampoo to talk about alternatives that will work with your natural texture.

Also: Consider a cut that flatters your face shape. A square jaw will be softened by a loose, layered cut. Bangs (swept to the side if you don't want to get regular trims) complement a longer face, and a center part balances a round face.

3. Find a hue that's you
The golden rule of low-maintenance, low-risk, great-looking color is to go one shade brighter or darker than your normal hue. Then you can keep kicking it up a notch, but you won't be in for any big surprises along the way.

Just be sure that whatever shade you choose contrasts with your skin tone. You'll look washed out and need more makeup if everything matches too well.

Finally, if your dye job goes horribly wrong, ask your colorist to fix it. Most salons will grant you a grace period of a week or two to request a free redo.

DARK CIRCLES

lack of sleep ? See to much computer or TV ???

i got a treatment

Although to date, there has been no end-all to curing or reducing dark circles, there are many home-made ingredients that can help make the dark circles less visible. For example it is said that putting teabags under the eyes, drinking plenty of fluids and a lot of rest can suffice. Make-up can be used to change the coloration of any exposed skin. ..

Always test products before using them. To test a new product, apply a small amount to your wrist or arm and wait 24 hours. If you don't come out in rashes, hives, or any allergic reactions, the product is most probably safe.
Don't slather on lots of lotions and give your skin a hard time. A pea-sized amount is ideal. Too many chemicals can simply increase pimples and oilyness. Keep your routine simple and easy. Just washing your face with warm water, patting it dry and applying some simple face cream can do wonders.
Remember to moisturize inside and outside. Drink plenty of water during the day to moisturize your skin from inside your body and apply moisturizer to your skin to moisturize from outside of your body.
If you have a cut or sore on your skin, make sure you wash the area with warm water and mild soap, and depending on how serious the cut/sore is, apply an antibiotic cream or ointment. This will kill germs. For very bad cuts, seek medical advice.
Keep your hair clean, especially if you have bangs or a fringe. Consider keeping all hair completely off your face. Hair can spread bacteria and germs, especially if it's not clean. If you have oily hair, make sure you keep it off your face and wash it regularly.
Try to keep shampoos, shower gels and conditioners off your face. The chemicals in these products are quite harsh and can harm your skin. When washing hair make sure it's off your face and rinsed out properly. Don't splash shower gels or soaps around too much, and always wash your hands after washing your hair or using a harsh product.
Exercise. Exercise not only keeps you in shape, but it helps your skin maintain a fresh and healthy glow by regulating the oxygen. Be sure to avoid wearing make-up when you exercise. Sweat and dirt will get trapped in your pores and cause you to break-out.
Chill out. Stress can cause acne and pimples. Take some time each day to kick back your feet, take a nap, and relax. If you're having stress problems, confide in a friend, doctor or family member you can trust.
Always remove your makeup. Makeup clogs your pores as you sleep, causing things such as pimples and blackheads. No matter how tired you are, always clean off your makeup, right down to the very last bit of foundation. Also, consider switching from thick foundations to mineral make-up.
Don't use too much makeup. Wearing a mountain of foundation, concealer, eyeliner and all types of makeup every day is bad for your skin. Keep things natural-natural looks are beautiful. Dab a bit of concealer on a spot if you have to, and use a clean cotton bud. Stick to lip gloss, a little bit of blusher, and some mascara. Leave the foundation and eyeliner for parties.
Drink 8 glasses of water a day.

HOW TO HAVE PERFECT SKIN

Having perfect skin doesn't come in the blink of an eye. It's a hard thing to manage, what with all the odds and ends of your life. If you want perfect skin and are having trouble, don't worry-just read on...

Make sure you have a healthy diet, enriched with the vitamins and minerals your skin needs.Vitamin B, C, E, A and K all help keep your skin fresh and glowing. Vitamin B forms the basis of skin, nails and hair. You can find this vitamin in foods like oatmeal, eggs, rice, bananas and even Vegemite. Vitamin C protects your skin from sun exposure, keeping you away from skin cancer. Vitamin C pops up in citrus foods such as bell peppers, cranberry/grape juice, cauliflower, and leafy greens. Vitamin E also helps protect your skin against sun exposure, and can be found in foods such as olives, spinach, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. Vitamin A is essential for repair of the skin tissue-without it your skin will look dry and flaky. Vitamin A is found in fruits and veggies-so load up. Vitamin K helps reduce dark circles under eyes, as well as bruises. Vitamin K is hidden away in leafy green vegetables, dairy products, and meats such as pork and liver. So basically, loads of fruits and veggies, nuts, rice and eggs will help your skin. Dairy products have been known to cause breakouts, more specifically milk so avoid it if you can. Don't forget to drink lots of water to make your skin glow!

Always wear sun screen, sunglasses and a hat when you go out in the sun. Simply gobbling up lots of fruits and veggies with sun protecting vitamins won't keep you safe. Even if you have darker colored skin, you need to wear sunscreen. Choose a sunscreen that is 30 or 40 SPF and apply it evenly to your skin. Try to use a face friendly, water resistant sunscreen. Don't apply a whole chunk of sunscreen or you'll be shining all day. Apply just enough and follow the directions. Try to avoid the sun at harsher times, such as the afternoon-around 10AM to 2PM. When the sun is at its' worst, it's a real danger to your skin. It might be a good idea to wear lip balm with sunscreen in it as well. Choose a broad brimmed or bucket hat, and slide on a pair of sunglasses.

Find out what skin type you have-oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin. If you are always getting rashes on your skin or neck when you use a new cream or wear a scarf, you probably have sensitive skin. If your' skin has a greasy shine to it, looks thick and dull and comes out in big pimples, it's most probably oily. If your skin suits the previous description on your nose, forehead and chin and is fine everywhere else, you probably have combination skin. And if you feel like you have to moisturize all the time and your skin feels a bit tight in winter, you may just have dry skin. Read up on your skin type on the internet, from a dermatologist or experienced book. Each skin type will require slightly different care, and you will want to avoid some chemicals. Make sure you are an expert on your skin type.

Buy an appropriate soap/cleanser and moisturizer for your skin. It is not an essential to use a toner. Make sure you avoid harsh chemicals, and chemicals that aren't good for your skin type. Wash your skin 2-3 times a day, with a dollop of cleanser/soap. Don't slather on moisturizer or put on a tiny amount-use an amount which you feel moisturizes your skin without making it too oily. If you are under twelve, it may be a much better idea to skip the cleanser and soap and simply wash your face with water. It might seem ineffective, but water is a great cleanser, particularly for young and oily skin. Hot water is good for oily skin; warm and lukewarm are good for other skin types. Moisturize afterwards. Wash your face in the morning and night, and if you want to, in the afternoon or after school. Make sure you wash your hands before washing your face, or you'll just spread bacteria and dirt. For acne, use pro-active, Clean & Clear, or Clearasil. These brands are trustworthy and have a variety of products such as pimple cream, toners, and cleansers. Choose carefully, and be aware of your skin type. Nivea is a trustworthy brand, used for years and isn't harsh on your skin, it can also be used all over. Proactiv has been known to actually strip paint off of walls!

Treat your skin. Once a week you can give your skin a treat, such as applying a face mask or steaming your skin. But make sure what you treat your skin with suits your skin type, or you might make things worse. Instead of harshly exfoliating for acne, try using tea tree oil-it really works. Dab a small amount of tea tree oil on the spot, or steam your face with it. For oily or sensitive skin, you might want to skip the fancy products and simply apply yogurt to your face. It also helps acne. Yogurt clears the skin and is gentle. This will work for dry skin too. Tougher treatments for the skin include retinol cream, which is a derivative of vitamin A, and glycolic peels. Be careful, though, because these products take a layer off of your skin and applying them too often can cause damage. Wash and moisturize after steaming, exfoliating or applying a face mask. Follow the directions.

Stop the Tanning Bed Addiction!

Check Out Our Tips for a Safe Tan

I just read about a 19-year-old girl who had to have 30 operations to remove cancerous moles. Why? Because she was hitting up the tanning bed for hours a day!

I know plenty of people who don't think they have to worry about cancer or wrinkles until they're older, but this story proves that's not true. And while I secretly hope for a study saying tanning is actually good for you (especially when I look down at my winter-white legs), I know that sun = skin damage, period.

But what's a pale girl to do? Actually, plenty. There are tons of spray tan booths, self-tanners (like these) and amazing bronzers that make it super easy to get a safe glow. Applying them isn't totally fool-proof though, so check out these tips:

- Before you go near a self-tanner, exfoliate well (try one of these body scrubs), then moisturize dry areas (like your elbows, knees, ankles and feet) to keep them from absorbing too much tanner.

- After giving your moisturizer five to 10 minutes to soak in, apply tanner, blending with your hands as you go (be sure to wash your hands immediately after, you don't want orange palms!).

- If you're tanning your whole bod, do your legs before your stomach, so you don't get lines on your belly from bending over.

- Wait five to 10 minutes after applying tanner before getting dressed to prevent streaking (and stained clothes).

- If using a spray tanner, step into your shower to spray it on to avoid spraying your walls, rugs, etc.

ohohoh... i got a friend want me to talk about Acne

Causes of acne

Whiteheads are the direct result of skin pores becoming clogged with sebum, a naturally occurring oil, and dead skin cells

Treatments

There are many products available for the treatment of acne, many of which are without any scientifically-proven effects. Generally speaking, successful treatments show little improvement within the first two weeks, instead taking a period of approximately three months to improve and start flattening out. Many treatments that promise big improvements within two weeks are likely to be largely disappointing. However, short bursts of cortisone can give very quick results, and other treatments can rapidly improve some active spots, but usually not all active spots.

And Guinot can help you in that

Modes of improvement are not necessarily fully understood but in general treatments are believed to work in at least 3 different ways (with many of the best treatments providing multiple simultaneous effects):

normalising shedding into the pore to prevent blockage
killing Propionibacterium acnes
anti-inflammatory effects

My dear friend you can go to www.guinot.com and know more about guinot.

Guinot ACNILOGIC INTELLIGENT SEBUM CONTROL SERUM GOOD FOR ACNE AND OILY SKIN , i am using now i feel not bad. And go look Guinot certified beauty therapists. where to look for ?? the add i give you.. and hope your face will be crystal clear

Kitchen beauty solutions you have to try!

Be your own skin-perfecting mix master! Uncover a gorgeous complexion with these DIY recipes.

Redness-reducing mist: Brew a cup of organic chamomile tea; let it cool, then pour into a spray bottle and spritz all over face. Extracted from the daisy plant, chamomile acts as an anti-inflammatory to quickly calm irritation and reduce puffiness.

Line lessener: Create a full-body exfoliant by pulverizing a handful of almonds, one orange peel and a cup of grapeseed oil in a blender. This antioxidant-rich cocktail blocks wrinkle-causing, collagen-degrading free radicals while fine granules slough flakes, leaving skin soft and supple.

Zit zapper Squeeze two lemons into a half cup of water, then splash over face and rinse. Lemon juice contains alpha hydroxy acid, which dissolves dead skin and fights bacteria, so the concoction helps banish blemishes. Clear skin ahead!

Is Your Bedroom Sex Ready?

Though the economy is down, we know romps in the sack are up.

Susan Quilliam, editor of the newly revised The Joy of Sex, reported in her native UK last week, financial uncertainty increases a desire for the comfort of skin-on-skin contact. A recent survey of 20,000 Brits revealedsex to be their favorite low-cost activity.

The recession's love potion powers could peeter out the deeper into the economic crisis we get, Quilliam reasons, as anxiety kills rather than fuels the mood. That means, you best get your bedroom good and sexorated before it's used only for sleeping!

Enter Michael Shnayerson, veteran journalist and Vanity Fair contributor, who's offered some dos and don'ts for decorating one's bedroom with sex in mind.

Do get a good lock.

Don't expect to impress anyone (save those who are transitioning from a crib) with a single bed.

Do go for a queen-sized bed in lieu of a California king, unless you have a "more is merrier" bed policy.

Don't forget rubber bases to keep the bed in place and avoid nasty run-ins with neighbors, roommates or the police. "No need for rubbers of any other sort, if you don't get those rubber bases," Shnayerson warns.

Do use European pillows in the way they were meant. They are square like a chair cushion for a reason.

Knock boots, not books. Do keep side tables free and clear from non-sex-related items. We figure The Kama Sutra or the aforementioned Joy of Sex might warrant exceptions

ABOUT healthy living

2009-02-05T05:57:00.000-08:00

We all know that drinking and dieting don't mix. Alcohol is empty calories, quickly converts to sugar and lowers our inhibitions so we are inclined to eat more. However, for most of us, drinking is a part of birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, weekends, holidays, travel, fine dining, cheap dining, home dining, vacations, boat trips, sailing trips, camping trips, barbecues, happy hours, and in Europe...breakfast. OK, I think you get my drift. That being said, here's the buzz on how to not let drinking become dangerous to your diet:

Vodka Cranberry/Tonic/Straight: One of the best alcoholic beverages for losing weight is 1.5 shot of vodka (98 calories) with a low or no calorie mixer, such as Schweppes diet tonic or diet cranberry juice (Try Ocean Spray's Diet Cranberry Juice at 5 calories). Another option if you can stomach it is to drink vodka straight. Now with all of the flavored vodkas, such as Absolut Pears vodka, this is an option.

Captain Morgan & Diet Coke:  A 1.5 shot of Captain Morgan (86 calories) with Diet Coke (0 calories) is a great option for bars that don't have calorie free mixers. Almost every place carries Captain Morgan and Diet Coke. And Captain Morgan (86 calories) is fewer calories than regular rum (98 calories).

Sugar Free Red Bull & Vodka: If you are someone who wants um, "wings" when you are out, the Sugar Free Red Bull (10 calories) mixed with 1.5 shot of Vodka (98 calories) is a good option.

Beer:  If you are a beer drinker, try and stick to Miller or Amstel Lite (96 calories, 4.2% alcohol) versus your average 150 calorie beer. Another second place option is Bud Light (110 calories, 4.2% alcohol).

Mimosa: Now you can also enjoy a very low calorie mimosa. Take 2 oz. of Minute Maid Light orange juice (12 calories) and 3 oz. of champagne (78 calories). And voila... a 90 calorie mimosa!

Wine: For all of you out there who have ever made fun of boxed wine (not me, no, NEVER) - I have some ironic news. The butt of all the jokes is having the last laugh. Franzia "Refreshing White" white wine (90 calories, 12.5% alcohol) is the lowest calorie you can get! Maybe they should market themselves as the diet wine and rebrand. SHHHH, don't tell anyone, but it actually kinda tastes good, not to mention the obvious "low-cost" benefit. One thing to note is that this wine has about 12.5% alcohol, where the high alcohol content wines come in at about 14.0%.


Here is the run down of the averages of the different types of alcoholic drinks:

5 oz. - Red or White Wine: 120 calories
12 oz. - Beer: 150 calories
12 oz. - Coolers: 220 calories
12 oz. - Whiskey: 96 calories for 1.5 shots
12 oz. - Tequilla: 96 calories for 1.5 shots

Here are some specific alcohol "Beat It's":

12 oz. - Smirnoff Ice: 241 calories
12 oz. - Mike's Hard Lemonade: 220 calories
12 oz. - Bartles & Jaymes: 190 calories

hey everyone this mail that some of my friends send it to me. it talk about sex. Read it ....

A few weeks ago, i know one woman wanted to know “Why do men masturbate in relationships, even when the sex is good and regular?” In his response, Max (one of our Single Straight Guys) said, "Trust me: You don’t want to do the things that we’re thinking about when masturbating." So we wanted to know "What DO guys think about when they masturbate?" Ironically, of all three guys' answers to this follow-up question, it's Max's that we thought was the most tame:

Straight Single Guy (Max): In order to masturbate, I have to have some kind of scenario in my head. It can be past experiences, girls that I've been with and (perhaps most often) girls that I want to be with. It might be the girl that was making eyes at me earlier in the day (though the likelihood is that I was making eyes at her and just misinterpreting her look of "what are you staring at?") or perhaps stranger subjects, such as fictional girls from dreams, co-workers, or women that you might consider out of your age range but still attractive (there's a reason that MILF is a household word). Oftentimes, the male mind is most interested in the forbidden. For instance, the girlfriend that wouldn't try anal? It's only going to happen in your head. Already have a girlfriend but have the hots for her friends? Save everyone the heartache. You really want to break into your workplace late at night and pour champagne all over each other and do it on your boss's desk? You won't get arrested if it's just a dream. Bisexual fantasies? Go for it. Essentially, I view masturbation as a time for completely uncensored fantasy. Whatever comes to mind and turns me on, I go with it. And as far as girls' fantasies go? I'm amazed when I talk to my girl friends and they all say that they don't think about much of anything... just concentrating. Weird.

Gay Committed Guy (Mark): As a very private person who sticks to a fairly small collection of gay vanilla porn for solo gratification, the specifics of this one are probably out of my league. Fantasies are boundless and infinitely various -- that's sort of the point, right? -- regardless of whether one is a man or a woman. (Although I'd like to ask Max, a.k.a. "you don't want to know" what could be so bad. Violence? Unsanctioned excrement? Pets?) That said, some educated guesses as to what some straight guys might be thinking of while wanking:
1) Women who are not their wives/girlfriends.
2) Their wives/girlfriends doing really degrading stuff (see above).
3) Men.

Straight Married Guy (Ben): Guys’ fantasies fall into three distinct categories: The Unique, The Unfulfilled and The Unmentionable. The Unique are what women want us to fantasize about -- previous sexual encounters, preferably with your current partner, that we’re reliving in our heads. Or, about one percent of our fantasies. The Unfulfilled are the things we really, really want but are mostly too chicken to ask for -- the threesome with that hot couple at the bar last night, the cute intern, you and your sister, with or without us. This is about 60 percent. But then there’s that last 39 percent -- The Unmentionables. These are the things that make us hot -- we don’t know why -- and are actually too out there even for us.

Hair loss

It is normal to shed hair every day and the truth is we loose between 100 to 120 hairs on any given day. Hair that is shed falls out at the end of growth cycle. At any given time 10% of our hair is in what is called a resting, hair falls out and new hair grows in its place. Some people, however experience more hair loss than is normal. As we get older , both men and women experience some hair loss. It is a normal part of the aging process. Called ANDROGEBETICE ALOPECIA, it accounts for 90% of all hair loss.

I will talk more about products that I like use on hair. And hair color .

About face this week.

A man’s face is his business card today. It is what they see first, what they judge you by first, and what they remember last -hopefully it is a lasting impression.. Think about it. What is the first thing people notice about you? It YOUR face. Healthy skin is the most important element of a great looking face.

LET face it . Facial skin care is no longer just a woman concern. Today men are increasingly aware and concerned about the health and appearance of their skin. More men than ever are interested in taking better care of their skin & a simple daily ritual of cleansing & moisturizing will keep skin an d hair looking healthy. Men actually have thicker skin than women. This thickness is why men don’t wrinkle as quickly as women but that does not let men off the ‘skin care’ hook. Men have approximately 15% oilier skin and significantly larger pores than women do . Basically this means you get dirtier. It is very important. No matter what skin type you have, to clean your face every day. Deep cleansing is important. It keeps pores clear, skin healthy and you looking good.

A quick 123 step is a great start. This means a twice daily

cleansing , toning and moisturizing. It only takes 5 minutes

each

time that just 10 min a day.

1. Cleanse

2. Tone

3. Moisturize

You can use any products that you like. Or get a beauty therapists to help you .

But I am using GUINOT, I feel very good about this products.. Will talk about products soon.

Next week HAIR. And face shapes. And tips about hair..

About face this week.

UV skin tone..

Skin cancer? UV light?.. Guy who like to sun tanning.. Is it good or bad? Any know ? To me sunlight is very dangerous. Ultraviolet radiation.

Some people will say sun give you VITAMIN D, Yes. This does not mean that sun tanning is categorically safe or beneficial. Spending several minutes in the sun will be OK. But too much of sun tanning or UV light on your skin , it will be very dangerous. Harmful effects that you don’t know. SUNBURN is one of the effect, ‘burn to living tissus such as skin produced by OVERREXPOSURE to UV (Ultraviolet radiation)’

Don’t you feel itching , red or peeling skin, rash, and fever. I know guy like to look darker like beach boys or too look cool. But you still need to take care of your skin.

SAFE TANNING

Put on SPF15 UV cream or sun care lotion.

FOR me i will put on SPF30 sun care lotion. TML will talk about dry skin. i will update the blog pic on 2/02/2009..

Hi Everyone

I am going to talk about face in this week. And also SK2 products.

Let me talk about me and my friend went to buy SK2.

The SK2 therapists ask what you need for your face, than we say, we just need the 3 thing .Purify=cleanser , clarify= tone and moisturize. So she take out some products, SK2 facial treatment cleanser, facial treatment clear lotion, aqua physics and a facial treatment repair C for my dear friend.

So we ask her how to use it. Than my friend ask her about the most famous Facial Treatment Essence the miracle water. That containing more than 90% pitera. That will help the FACE, give radiant skin and help too look healthy. And what she, our skin need 28day to renewal cycle, so pitera will help you in that. And 7 benefits of pitera. Helps moderate the natural functions of skin , replenishes skin moisture , smoothen kin surface texture : I well say no , it never help a lot and I dun feel smooth. Helps to make crystal clear skin, OMG no ‘never help’, achieves a good balance of sebum, helps soothe sunburned skin .. My friend say not bad it help for sunburned, helps balance the skin ph level. After what she say, we want back to use , about two week, my face still the same .. But I what I like about this Products, it make me more whiten. But for hydration. I will say NO. I feel very dry. So I am going to stop using.

OK let talk about the famous Facial Treatment Essence and PITERA.. I had using products for about two week, it help to maintain the whitening. But they say that pitera will give moisturized. YA . What I know about pitera it will not give a lot of moistures or hydrations. Will need to have a moisturize. Because pitera help on oily and dry skin. So if you are dry skin , you will feel very dry. If you are oily skin , you will feel dry too, but so dry. B

Because the pitera working on the renewal cycle of your skin. I will stop saying about SK2, I am tried. About this producrs
