Avocado Rosemary Hair Masks :

Ingredients:

• one avocado
• fresh organic rosemary.
• Break open a vitamin E capsule
• olive (for extra dry or thick hair)
• a lighter oil (like almond or apricot)
• four drops of tea tree two drops of peppermint essential oil.
• four drops of orange essential oil
• two drops of peppermint essential oil.

Directions:

1. Smash up one avocado with fresh organic rosemary.
2. Break open a vitamin E capsule and mix that in.
3. Add a splash of olive oil for extra dry or thick hair or add a splash of a lighter oil (like almond or apricot) for thinner, less dry hair. Don’t add too much oil, or you’ll get a conditioner, not a masque. The texture should be sticky and thick not runny.
4. Drop in four drops each of tea tree and orange essential oil and two drops of peppermint essential oil.
5. Apply to your hair and let it sit for 30 minutes or so. You could wear a shower cap - but I don’t believe in using them. I just clip my hair up in a twist - it works fine and never drips. Rinse out well in cool water for shiner less fizzy hair.

Note: This masque is drippy, other than adding some base like flour (don’t do that) I have no idea how to thicken it up. So, you may want to take a nice bath as you let this soak into your hair.

You have some different choices regarding the chamomile. You can chop fresh really fine, boil fresh to a reduction, or add some essential oil of chamomile. I usually have added the oil, or shopped fresh. Boiling is too much extra work.
2. Apply to your head, clip hair up and soak in the tub for 30 minutes.
3. Rinse in cool water for softer, smoother hair.

Tips to Make Sleek and Shiny Hair

Tips for Healthy and Shiny Hair



Beautiful hair must be shiny and healthy. Healthy, glossy, manageable hair reflects light and falls around the face beautifully, is the dream of every woman that is not so difficult to attain after all. The scalp may be oily and the hair will be dry for many people. A regular massage with fragrant oils such as patchouli, lavender and geranium will solve this problem effectively. A clean scalp ensures shining hair. Be careful while you take your head bath. Apply some natural oil to the scalp and massage for five minutes. People with oily hair experience more trouble to acquire a shiny hair than others.

Healthy shining hair makes you feel wonderful and is a great confidence booster. Vitamin A makes your scalp healthy and is good for your skin as well. It is found in vegetables especially carrots. Vitamin B and C for hair growth and hair color. Vinegar rinse should not be used frequently as it may dry out your hair. Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables - especially citrus fruits and tomatoes - will help you get folic acid. Whole grain and fortified grain products, beans, and lentils also contain folic acid. A diet for healthy hair should be rich in protein as hair consists of primarily protein. Proteins will give your hair more strength and will prevent it from breaking and splitting. Eat protein rich foods like fish, meat, milk, cheese and cereals.

Hair is an important part of your appearance. Your hair needs Vitamin E for shine and you can get this much needed vitamin by incorporating brown rice, nuts, wheat germ and leafy green vegetables into your diet. Different hair textures need different ingredients to make it shiny.

There's nothing like shiny hair to make you look healthy and well-groomed. This doesn't always come naturally, so it may require a change in your beauty routine.

High-maintenance hair usually incurs the most damage because it takes more effort to achieve the desired affect. For the best results, try out simpler techniques and you'll find out what works for your hair texture.

1. Wash with Cold Water

A cold-water rinse is a great way to make dull hair shine. The cold water will close and smooth the cuticle, making hair appear shinier.

2. Wash with A Shine Enhancing Shampoo

Use a shine enhancing shampoo that is full of plenty of moisturizers and you're hair will be glowing. Heat activated shampoos and styling products will also add shine while you blow-dry. Don't forget to rinse your hair with cold water after washing for an extra shine boost and to use a clarifying shampoo every week if you regularly use styling products.

3. Keep it Conditioned

To cut down on split-ends, have it trimmed on a regular basis and hydrate your hair with conditioner to keep it in tip-top shape. Leave the conditioner in for several minutes to give it a chance to absorb.

Silicones are important conditioning ingredients that make hair smooth, soft, and shiny. However, not all silicones are created equal. The newer AminoSilicones (Amodimethicone) have an amine group at the end of the silicone chain that allows it to better adhere to damaged hair. Some are able to provide conditioning benefits that last through several shampoos and work well as a weekly treatment for color treated hair.

If your hair needs more attention, apply a hot-oil treatment once a week. Don't overuse the treatments because too much of it can cause hair to become dull and lifeless.

To further enhance the shine, you can use a finishing crème during and after blow-drying your hair.

4. Hair Mask

Apply a shine-intensifying hair mask once a week to condition and add gloss to dull ends.

5. Applying Hair Serum

Apply very small amounts of a thick gloss serum. Put a drop on your hand and spread it thinly all over your palms. Then smooth your palms over the surface of your hair.

6. Make a Natural Hair Brush

Plastic brushes for a natural boar bristle or at least a softer synthetic bristle brush. The natural brush fibers are less likely to break the hair shaft.

7. Visit Your Hairdresser

A good haircut will keep your hair healthy and will encourage shine. Your hairdresser is also the best person to speak to about the type of hair that you have and what products will enhance your natural shine.

8. Style Sleekly

Style wise, smooth and sleek straight hair is the best look for shining locks. Blow-drying with the nozzle pointed down the hair shaft and finishing with a blast of cool air is the only way to style, and finishing with a mist of shine spray will give hold and great gloss. Using a round brush when blow-drying will add smoothness to the hair follicle and give your strands some great light reflection.

9. Give Your Hair a Rest

Our hair takes a beating with all of the styling appliances and products that we use on an everyday basis. Avoid using a hair dryer and let it dry naturally. If you must use a dryer, keep it on the coolest setting and use a diffuser.

Cut down on curling iron use and opt for hot rollers when you insist on curls. This is a gentler approach for luscious, wavy tresses. To prevent scorching, don't spray your hair with hairspray before using any heated appliances.

Avoid weighing down your hair with numerous styling products. They can dry out your hair and take away the shine. Stick to one or two products, and use them sparingly. Over time, your hair will adjust and it will take less effort to pull off your desired results.

10. Styling Products for Shine

Test a few styling products designed to make your hair shiny. After washing it, pour some hair gel or leave-in conditioner in the palm of your hand and gently rub it in. Distribute it more heavily on the middle and ends than you do the roots so your hair doesn't appear dirty or oily.



Homemade Recipes Hair Mask and Hair Rinse:

Mask with Eggs

Bring instant shine to your hair by lightly beating two eggs in milk. Apply to clean, damp hair, massaging in well. Leave for 10 – 15 minutes and then wash out with mild shampoo.

Vodka

A little vodka in your shampoo if used occasionally, can make your thick hair shine instantly.

Recipes For Shiny Hair

To give your hair a great shine and help remove soap build up.

Blondes — Add a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice to your rinse water.

Brunettes and Redheads — Add a couple of tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your rinse water.

Rinse with Honey.

Honey is good for skin and hair. Take 4 cups of warm water and stir 1 teaspoon of honey in it.
Make sure it's well dissolved. Use as a rinse after shampooing and don't wash out. Dry as normal for a great shine!

Honey & Olive Oil Hair Mask

Mix 1/2 cup honey and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Work a small amount at a time through hair until coated. Cover hair with a shower cap; leave on 30 minutes. Shampoo well and rinse.

Tips to Grow Your Eyelashes Naturally

Women will go to great lengths to have luscious, long lashes. Dark, full lashes highlight your eyes and can be stunning.

Eyelashes, the hair that grows from the tips of the eyelids serve the purpose of protecting your eye from hazards causing you to blink should something get too close. In addition, long eyelashes are a universal symbol of beauty. Women, who generally covet longer lashes, have ones that are typically shorter than that of men. There are many products like mascara and fake eyelashes that will make your eyelashes look longer. There are also cosmetics that promise to stimulate eyelashes as well. Meanwhile, if you want your eyelashes to grow naturally, there are some age-old tricks you can try.

Step1
Improve your diet to grow longer eyelashes naturally. Without proper nutrition, your body will cease to grow hair, fingernails and even eyelashes. Likewise, anything that makes your hair grow, will also help your eyelashes grow. For this reason, you should adopt a healthy lifestyle and take multivitamins.

Step2
Apply natural lubricants to your eyelashes to make them strong. This not only protects your eyelashes from the elements, but the coating makes them look linger. Olive oil and Vaseline are quite effective. Put these products on your eyelashes at night and wash it off in the morning.

Step3
Apply vitamin E oil to your eyelashes to stimulate growth. This vitamin is known to cause hair growth and sooth scalp irritations, so if you have eyelash loss due to irritation, this may reverse it. Apply the oil to your eyelashes with a clean eyelash brush. The act of brushing your lashes regularly may also stimulate growth.

Step4
Trimming your eyelashes can stimulate growth. Many people who have accidentally burned off their lashes or trimmed them by accident or on purpose report growing back longer and thicker lashes. Of course, you don’t want to chop off your eyelashes in an effort to make them grow back longer. Any amount of trimming should be tiny. You should cut off no more than the very tips of the lashes.

Message For Natural Breast Enlargement

Breast enlargement to increase your breast size naturally without painful surgery



No, you are not alone in your desire to be better endowed. And there is no need to feel embarrassed or shy about it. Having a well-filled breast is almost every woman's dream.

No other part of a woman’s body is as attractive as her breasts which add to the overall beauty, charm and grace of a woman. The first thing that attracts an onlooker is the bust line of a passing woman.

Breast care is very important as it is among the erogenous zones, and feeding organ for baby. If a woman’s breasts sag and get flabby at an early age, it will fail to have any sexual attraction.

Breasts are largely made up of fat globules and fibrous connective tissue. Breasts in fact do not have any muscular tissues and are held by the muscles, which lie between the rib cage. Hence if these muscles, which are called pectorals, are in good shape, then your breasts will get a good cleavage and lift. ( Ayurvedicurre)

Breast Massage therapy is an effective "wellness" treatment for breasts, as breasts particularly need good circulation and tissue mobilization for optimum health. Poor circulation can produce various uncomfortable symptoms. Breast scarring (surgically and traumatically induced), which is more common than we often realize, can cause painful syndromes and obstruct blood and lymph flow. Some believe there may be a correlation between chronic poor breast drainage and susceptibility to malignancy. Breast Massage techniques and hydrotherapy may in fact turn out to be some of the most effective modalities for addressing such problems and promoting breast health.

Breast Massage therapy has been proven to assist in promoting healthy breast tissue, reduce
fibroids and cysts, relieve the pain and discomfort associated with PMS, compression from bras, relieving the pain and tension from stress in the muscles of the chest wall, assist in healthy tissue regeneration and scar reduction following surgery, and as a logical proactive step against cancer and other diseases. The goal of this article is to provide accurate, easy to use information about maintaining personal breast health through self-massage.

Study Showing Breast Massage May Help Prevent Breast Cancer!!!

Breast Massage can be an important component to preventing breast cancer! A recent study* of 4,700 women found that women who wore brassieres had an increased chance of acquiring breast cancer. It is very possible that the constant pressure that the bra puts on the breast is limiting the flow of toxins that need to be released, resulting in the increased cancer rate. Any more than a gentle amount of pressure can flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the toxic flow from the breast.

The Study found the highest rate of breast cancer in those who wore bras 24 hours a day, and the lowest rate in those who never wore bras. The study suggested that women should wear their bra less than 12 hours a day.

* Singer, Sydney Ross. Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer andBras, Garden City Park, NY: Avery Pub. Group, 1995

Breast Massage

The left side demonstrates the vascular system of arteries and veins. The right side shows the lymph nodes and direction of lymphatic flow away from the breast.



Your breasts are essentially structures made up of fat and gland, mounted to the female's chest wall with a delicate system of ligaments. The circulation in the breast is much the same as the rest of the body consisting of arteries,veins, and lymphatic vessels. In short, the arteries bring fresh blood too the cells carrying along with it the nutrition that the breast and its tissues need for proper health and they could benefit from breast massage. The veins bring the blood back from the cells along with cellular waste and toxins. The lymphatics are designed to return the toxin and other waste materials that lie in the intercellular fluid between the cells.

Breast Massage

Step One: Use your fingers to gently smooth away from the nipple. These movements travel from the nipple and directly away using no more pressure than what you would apply to your eyelid. Any more pressure would flatten the lymphatic vessel and stop the flow of toxins and fluids. Also, make this stroke slow, not fast, for it to be effective.



Step Two: Gently massage the breast with a kneading-like motion, using lifting and pressing movements.

Step Three: Slowly and carefully use your hands to twist the breast in a clock-wise and counterclockwise direction, being careful not to put too much tension on the breast.

Step Four: Use both hands as shown to apply several, moderate pressure,compressions to move out more pressure fluids.

And that complete the Breast Massage to help you prevent breast cancer!

LYMPHATIC BREAST MASSAGE

To specifically effect lymph in massage, it is necessary to pump in a specific direction, at a specific pace. This mimics the natural action of the lymphatic system.

Lymphatic Breast Massage is easy to learn. It is different than just massaging your breast because you will specifically move the breast in a way that mimics how lymph moves in the body.

We will use a pumping movement where we move the breast using some light pressure and then release the breast gently, allowing it to return to it’s normal position.

Each move and return counts as one pump. Using the lymphatic breast massage model, the most important idea is to keep the lymphatic fluid moving in this area.

Below are simple steps to use for lymphatic breast massage. (Use these instructions with the illustration below.)



1. Put your hand in your armpit and push inward and upward. Go deep into the armpit. Pump upward and release. Do this ten to twenty times.



2. Grab your entire breast and move it upward toward the armpit. If your breasts are large, this may take more than one hand position. Do this ten times.
Grab your breast and pump directly inward toward the chest wall. Do this five times.




3. Holding your breast stable, pump the upper inner quadrant of your breast up toward your neck. Do this five times.





4. You can do the pumping more than the recommended number of times if you like.

Skin Pigmentation Treatment

Treatment

Pigmentation means coloring. Skin pigmentation disorders affect the color of your skin. Skin cells give your skin color by making a substance called melanin. When these cells become damaged or unhealthy, it affects melanin production. Some pigmentation disorders affect just patches of skin. Others affect your entire body.

If your body makes too much melanin, your skin gets darker. Pregnancy, Addison's disease and sun exposure all can make your skin darker. If your body makes too little melanin, your skin gets lighter. Vitiligo is a condition that causes patches of light skin. Albinism is a genetic condition affecting all of a person's skin. Infections, blisters and burns can cause lighter skin.

Other pigmented terms include:

1. hyperpigmentation (too much pigment)
2. hypopigmentation
   
3. underpigmentation (too little pigment)
   
4. depigmentation (loss of pigment).
   

Millions of people develop skin pigmentation conditions at some point in their lives. For many, this results in emotional distress and embarrassment. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to do something about it.
The first step in minimizing a skin pigmentation condition is to protect yourself from the sun. Then, arrange to speak with a dermatologist about your condition and treatment options.

Causes of Pigmentation

Pigmentation is more widespread amongst the middle-aged women. Very few women in younger age suffer from pigmentation, and the extent of the problem is minimal with few exceptions. This in fact is related to the endocrinal changes that occur when women reach middle age.

The severity of pigmentation problem is associated with several diseases and disorders.

The first aspect of the treatment is protection from the sun, because the problem is triggered off by sun-exposure. In fact, it can also aggravate it, causing the dark area to become larger. Therefore, as part of the treatment, one should try to avoid sun-exposure as far as possible. Physical protection is the only answer, with a parasol or hat, and also by applying a sunscreen before going out in the sun. Select a sunscreen with a high SPF of at least 20+. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and is usually mentioned on the label. The number is related to the duration of sun exposure. If the skin is dry, a sunblock cream should be applied. For normal to oily skin or combination skin, a sunscreen lotion is more suitable. Sunblock creams of higher SPF are also available. It is also advisable to use a sunscreen manufactured by a reputed company, so that you are sure of the protection it affords. The sunscreen should be applied about 20 minutes before sun-exposure, to allow ! it time to be absorbed by the skin. It should be reapplied if you are in the sun for longer than 20 to 30 minutes at a stretch. The effects of the sun increase near water bodies and snow, as they reflect the sun's radiation. Therefore, it becomes all the more important to protect the skin and re-apply the sun screen after 20 to 30 minutes.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a local treatment; it affects cancer cells only in the treated area. Radiation can come from a machine (external radiation). It can also come from an implant (a small container of radioactive material) placed directly into or near the tumor (internal radiation). Some patients receive both kinds of radiation therapy.

1. External radiation therapy is usually given on an outpatient basis in a hospital or clinic 5 days a week for a number of weeks. Patients are not radioactive during or after the treatment.
2. For internal radiation therapy, the patient stays in the hospital for a few days. The implant may be temporary or permanent. Because the level of radiation is highest during the hospital stay, patients may not be able to have visitors or may have visitors only for a short time. Once an implant is removed, there is no radioactivity in the body. The amount of radiation in a permanent implant goes down to a safe level before the patient leaves the hospital.

Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing is a relatively new treatment for reducing facial wrinkles and skin irregularities, such as blemishes or acne scars.

The technique directs short, concentrated pulsating beams of light at irregular skin. Laser skin resurfacing removes skin very precisely, layer by layer, resulting in fewer problems with hypopigmentation (lightening of skin). This popular procedure is known by several other names, including lasabrasion, laser peel or laser vaporization.

The two types of lasers most commonly used in laser resurfacing are:

1. CO2 Laser Resurfacing. This method has been used for years to treat different skin conditions including wrinkles, scars, warts, birthmarks, enlarged oil glands on the nose (rhinophyma), skin cancer and other conditions. The newest version of the CO2 laser resurfacing uses very short pulsed light energy (ultrapulsed) or continuous light beams that are delivered in a scanning pattern to very precisely remove thin layers of skin with minimal heat damage to the surrounding structures. Recovery time from the procedure is up to two weeks. Patients should seek out surgeons with documented training and experience in laser skin resurfacing.
2. Erbium Laser Resurfacing. Erbium laser resurfacing is designed to remove superficial and moderately deep lines and wrinkles on the face hands, neck, or chest. One of the benefits of erbium laser resurfacing is minimal burning of surrounding tissue. This laser causes minimal side effects, such as swelling, bruising and redness, so your recovery time should be more rapid than with CO2 laser resurfacing - one week in most cases. If you have a darker skin tone, erbium laser resurfacing may work better for you. Your doctor will determine which laser is best for you after he or she fully evaluates your medical history, current physical condition, and desired results.

Make-Up Tips for Achieving a More Youthful Look

1. Choose your foundation and apply it correctly.You should select a foundation with added moisturizers and sunscreen to not only protect your skin but give it a dewy glow. You foundation should match your true skin color as closely as possible and should be applied with a light touch. A concealer in a shade slightly lighter than your natural skin tone can be applied lightly to downplay fine facial lines. Translucent powder designed for mature skin should be applied once to set your makeup. Avoid reapplying powder throughout the day since heavy layers of powder can accentuate wrinkles. Foundation Don’t use more base foundation as you get older, it can settle into wrinkles and make them more pronounced. The less you apply, the longer it will last. Avoid heavy powder – this can create a cake-y effect. Use a light liquid makeup with a moisturizer in it- if your favorite foundation doesn’t have moisturizer in it, add a little moisturizer to it.
   
   
2. Go lighter on eye makeup. As aging occurs, the tissue surrounding the eyes begins to fall due to the effects of gravity which can make eyes look small and droopy. Dark, heavy eye makeup can make eyes look even smaller. Now may be a good time to choose a lighter shade of eyeliner. Black and other dark liner shades tend to be too harsh. Likewise, lighter eye shadow shades tend to open up the eye and look more flattering. Use a lighter touch with the mascara wand to avoid making the lids look too heavy.Place darker color close to the upper lashes and lighter toward the crease of the eye lid. If you use liquid eyeliner for drama, keep it on the upper lid only, very thin and close to the lash. Can be one of the most useful products you can use. It evens tone, conceals and contours. If you are using a concealer in coordination with foundation, always apply it after the foundation so you know which areas of your face need more coverage. If you apply the concealer first, it will be wiped away when you blend your foundation.When covering under dark circles, blemishes, or splotchy patches with concealer, set your concealer with loose translucent powder. It will keep any oily shine to a minimum, and set the concealer so it will crease less and last longer.Avoid very dark, matte shadow shades on eyelids.Go light with mascara on upper lashes. Apply only to tips at first. Allow lashes to dry between coats; this thickens the lash without adding clumps. Use only 1 coat of mascara on lower lashes, if needed at all.
3. Choose a lighter shade of lipstick. As skin aging occurs, lips tend to become less full. A darker shade of lipstick tends to magnify thinning lips while a well chosen lighter shade of lipstick can enhance and make them look fuller. It may also be helpful to use a lip brush to line your lips to prevent the color from bleeding.Use a lip liner to line, shape and fill in the lips, forming a base for the lipstick. Lip liner should not stand out. Blend it into the color of the lipstick you select.Applying lipstick with a lip brush will create a smoother effect, last longer and afford more control; the overall look is cleaner and more polished. Use moisturizing lip shades in sheer, light, rose and bright pinkish shades.

Anti Aging Tips

Aging can happen slowly or more quickly and can occur differently in different people.
Like growth spurts, it is natural to have aging spurts when there are periods of time when individual seems to age more quickly. However, some aspects of aging can be slowed by taking proper care of your body.
One of the most obvious signs of aging is the changes that occur in the appearance of the skin. Skin aging is mainly caused by exposure to the sun and to the harsh environmental elements.
Products with AHA ingredients can slow the signs of skin aging and to achieve healthier, younger looking skin.
Retin-A and alpha hydroxy acids are the two best known topical substances studied for their effect on wrinkles.

Anti-aging tips.
Lifestyle changes can slow the aging process.
Here are some anti-aging tips:

• Regular facials with massage can help increase the skin's circulation. Firming masks and hydrating treatments with mild exfoliation will also help to rejuvenate the skin's appearance.
• Consistent use of moisturizers and products containing anti-aging staples like retinoids, AHA's, antioxidants, and humectants will help to reduce the signs of aging skin on the face and neck, and the ravages of hormone loss.
  
• Drink 6-8 glasses of purified or spring water each day to keep your body hydrated inside and out.
• Make reducing stress a priority. When you are stressed your body produces large amounts of cortisol, a steroid hormone that causes you to produce excess oil, which clogs glands and can lead to acne. Reduce stress by talking to your friends at least once a week, find reasons to laugh every day, work out at the gym and get the rest your body needs. Some doctors maintain that a good sex life can reduce stress and lower cortisol levels.
  

We ARE in control of our aging.
Aging is psychological as well as physical. It begins at an early age. People who live fuller, longer lives have certain basic attributes. This has been proven in recent results from the longest and most comprehensive study of human development ever undertaken. This study was done at Harvard and began in 1920. It followed a group of individuals from their teens into their 80’s.
The results found that there are four attributes that are vital to successful aging:

• The ability to anticipate, to plan and to hope.
  
• Seeing the glass as half-full, not half-empty and living in an attitude of gratitude, forgiveness and optimism.
  
• The ability to imagine the world as it seems to other people.
• The ability to reach out to other people, to want to interact with other people positively.
  

Dr. George E. Vaillant, the director of the Harvard study, points out seven keys to aging well. People who had four or more of these seven factors by age 50 were one-third less likely to be dead by the age of 80. People with three or fewer of these factors by age 50 were three times as likely to die during the following 30 years.
Here are the seven factor to aging well:

• Not smoking, or quitting early: "Smoking is probably the most significant factor in terms of health."
  
• The ability to take life’s ups and downs in stride: Adapt a coping style that let’s you roll with the punches. Keep your sense of humor, learn new things and have fun, give of yourself and make friends with people who are younger than you are.
  
• Don’t abuse alcohol: over indulging in alcohol can destroy your physical and mental health.
• Maintaining a strong marriage: the study showed that, if people are willing to work through their problems, marriages improve over time and contribute to a long and happy life.
  
• Maintain a healthy weight: being over weight is a risk factor to good health.
• Physical activity: The Harvard study showed that even doing some exercise improves both mental and physical health.
  
• Continued education: Dr. Vaillant says that "People seek education because they believe it is possible to control the course of their lives." People who are interested in "self care and perseverance are more likely to continue their education."
  

SUN TIPS



Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m when the sun's UV rays are strongest. Don't be fooled by cloudy skies. Harmful rays pass through clouds. UV radiation also can pass through water.
Using Sunscreens Effectively. Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure. Don’t skimp, use a handful every time you put it on. If you aren’t perspiring, it’s best to reapply it every two hours. If you perspire heavily, reapply every forty minutes. The minimum acceptable SPF is 15 and many doctors routinely recommend SPF 30 to effectively protect the skin from damage. Look for sunscreen with moisturizers to help condition skin while it protects.

How to Lose The Wrinkle

7 Main Causes of Skin Damage
As you age, your skin changes. It becomes loose, thinner, drier and wrinkled, and slower to heal. The wrinkles occur mainly as a result of the rupture of the elastin fibers and the decreasing production of collagen fibers in the dermis but the diminishing of the fatty cells play a part in this as well as the decreasing bonds between the epidermis and dermis.
The main factors that accelerate skin damage are:

1. Sunlight
2. Smoking
3. Pollution
4. Muscle use
5. Inadequate diet
6. Genetic background
7. Decrease of hormonal levels at menopause.

Sunlight (the UV rays actually) damages the collagen and elastin fibers, and causes the development of some abnormal elastin fiber types. This results in a looseness of the skin and its incapacity to retract after stretching, causing the formation of wrinkles. It further creates a higher percentage of evaporation, making skin drier. Skin care for woman is vital, but before seeking anti aging skin care treatment or anti aging skin care product, you may want to know the basics means of protection.

Thus it is advisable at any age to avoid sunlight at midday and regularly use sunscreen creams with SPF 15 or higher. In addition, it is recommended to drink a lot of water, about 50-60 ounces daily. This intake of water would also be helpful in eliminating toxins through urine, rather than through skin pores.

Smoking and other air polluting factors produce free radicals in the cells of the skin, altering these cells and their genetic material. It is important to emphasize the importance of quitting smoking because smokers get wrinkled at an younger age than non-smokers, which is increased with the years and the number of cigarettes smoked daily.

If you want to improve your physical and mental health by stopping some of the processes which lead to aging, consider researching anti-aging programs. You will discover a whole world that is focused on slowing down many of the effects associated with aging, skin care for women, anti aging skin care treatment, anti aging skin care product and more. This will lead to increased energy, a better outlook on life, and a marked improvement in your health.

How To Remove Wrinkles
Here are some homemade remedies to smooth out those wrinkles.

• Rub egg white on our face and leave it for 5 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Put honey on your face. Wait 15 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Apply coconut or castor oil on your face. Leave overnight, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.
• Papaya Facial Peel Mask To effectively use this recipe, cleanse face and steam to open pores. The skin will be moist and receptive to the peel. Papaya Peel Ingredients:
  

1 cup fresh pineapple
Half-a-cup fresh papaya
1 tablespoon honey
Puree fruit together.

Ascorbyl Palmitate -- 10 Times Better Than Vitamin C .



Since Vitamin C is acidic, if you applied it directly to your face can cause severe skin irritation, swelling, redness and inflammation.

If you mix Vitamin C in a cream, it also is not stable -- it will lose it's potency.

So, what's the answer? Well, scientists have discovered a way to join Vitamin C with palmitic acid which they call Ascorbyl Palmitate.

What makes Ascorbyl Palmitate so good?

1. It is stable. It can be mixed into creams and still keep its full potency for months, even years.
2. It is non-irritating. It can even be placed on an open cut without stinging.
3. It is fat-soluble. It offers maximum protection to our skin against free-radicals at the exact spot they wreck the most damage - the outer portion of the cell.
   

In short, Ascorbyl Palmitate does everything 10 times more effectively than Vitamin C without the "harmful side-effects".

Researchers at Proctor & Gamble were able to show Ascorbyl Palmitate absorbs much more quickly and achieves levels ten times higher in the skin than L-Ascorbic Acid.

Can Human Growth Hormone (HGH) Really Help?
The Facts About Using HGH For Anti-Aging.
Human Growth Hormone (HGH) may likely be the next line of defense against aging for those that are desperate enough to go to major lengths to get help for their "problem".

HGH Is Taken By Injection
Different from antiaging skin care product or anti-wrinkle skin care product, antiaging HGH is actually taken through an injection of a hormone. This stops the patient's own production of human growth hormone and actually slows down the aging process. Does this process sound dangerous? It should. There are various side effects to taking antiaging HGH, among them high blood pressure, soft tissue swelling, muscle weakness and even arthritis.

A Quick Fix
People who take an anti aging hormone often are desperate to avoid the signs of aging and are willing to try just about anything to postpone the effects of natural aging. In short, anti-aging HGH is a quick fix for fighting signs of aging. But quick fixes seldom work. And in this case, it's expensive.

Taking vitamins and nutrients is the physically sound way to take on the signs of aging. Using an antiaging skin care product and an anti wrinkle skin care product is also a must.

HGH Is Dangerous
Antiaging HGH is a clinically proven form of medicine, but it is dangerous and has many side effects. Most physicians take a moderate point of view towards aging and recommend nutrients, vitamins, antiaging skin care product and anti wrinkle skin care product. Anti aging HGH injections are, quite frankly, too dangerous to be taken seriously by most reputable professionals.

6 Things To Do For The Health Of Your Skin
Anti aging skin care has a lot to do with total body care. Taking care of the body is the best path to taking care of the skin. Anti aging skin care begins from within.

1. Stay out of direct sunlight.
2. Take supplements.Taking a good daily vitamin is the place to start.

5. Eat at regular intervals. Skipping a meal a day or reducing food consumption may have a direct effect on skin care. This occurs because of the reduction of insulin intake. Keep body weight down.As long as body weight remains similar to what it was in the late teens, skin care has a solid foundation to build upon. Of course, gaining weight is a part of life and there are few people who weigh what they did when they were eighteen.

Natural Bust Treatment

A. Message for Breast Enlargement



Massage is one of the oldest techniques for breast enlargement. It is also the cheapest one and gives you more control over your body – in case one of your breasts is smaller than the other you can massage the smaller one to eliminate the difference. Also, the increase of blood circulation brings more nutrients to the massaged area, resulting in better skin tonus and better shaped breasts. When using breast enlarging creams and certain oils the effect is increased and fuller bust is more likely. If you don’t have a breast cream, you can use the following recipe from aromatherapy known for having breast increasing properties: mix 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil with 3 drops of ylang-ylang essential oil and 1 drop of geranium essential oil.

There are several known techniques of breast massage. Choose the one that suits you best or use the combination. But remember that all the movements have to be soft and gentle and that no way your breasts should hurt after the session. The results will not come faster if you apply more force. Also, while doing massage, always avoid nipple area.

Method 1

1. Apply breast enhancing cream or oil on your breasts.
2. Warm up your breasts by gently sliding your hands around them in circular motion. Keep your fingers together.
3. Moving in circles, start pinching breasts a little bit.
4. Using your three longest fingers pressed together, start gently pushing on the skin underneath your breasts and also around them for a couple of minutes.
5. Finish by sliding your hands in circles again, slowly and gently.
   

Method 2

This method is a little bit more complicated, because it is based on acupressure. It may take some time to find the right spots correctly. This massage is done using small balls, like table tennis balls, for example.

1. Count 13 cm up from your solar plexus. Move 2 cm to the sides from this point. Massage the 2 points with the balls for 30 seconds, by pressing the balls to the points and rolling them on one place.
2. Stop for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat step 1, massaging the points for 1 minute this time.
4. Take one ball in to your hand, press it between your palms and roll it.
5. Next, massage the point between your thumb and index finger in the same way as you did before, on both hands.
6. Finally, put the balls on the floor and roll them with your feet.
   

Method 3

Remember, you have to do massage regularly, once or twice a day for a couple of months to see the results.

B. Exercises for fuller bust

Exercising is a good way to keep your breasts full and beautifully shaped. In certain cases the breast size can increase, because of the muscle growth underneath the breasts. But even if your bust will not grow with regular working out, the shape will definitely improve and the sagginess will disappear. Exercises will increase the blood flow in your breasts, will tone up your skin and will produce a lifting effect to your bust area. Another benefit is stronger back muscles which will result in better posture.

Exercise 1

Standing on your toes, start quickly stretching your arms up, one after the other, as if catching something above your head. This exercise stretches the upper part of your body, warms up your muscles and straightens your spine.

Exercise 2

Bend forward, keeping your body parallel to the floor. Wave your hands left and right, following the movement with your head. This exercise relaxes chest muscles and strengthens the neck and back muscles.

Exercise 3

Bring your palms together in front of your breasts and push them against each other. You can also do it with a tennis ball. This exercise works directly on your chest muscles, as well as your arms, shaping them beautifully.

Exercise 4

Stand straight with your arms raised on the sides to shoulder level and with the palms facing up. Cross the arms in front of your chest and then pull back to the original position. Do it fast and keep your arms straight.

Exercise 5

Standing straight bring your arms to shoulder level on each side. Do circles with your arms straight, clockwise and then anticlockwise.

Exercise 6

Lie on the floor face down. Bring your hands together behind your head. Lift your head, arms and chest off the floor as far as possible and hold the position for a couple of seconds.

Exercise 7

Stand against the wall with your legs in line with shoulders. Make sure that your toes face straight to the wall and keep your back straight. Put your hands against the wall and do push-ups.

Exercise 8

Lie on your stomach with your ankles crossed. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor a bit to the side and in front of your shoulders. Straighten your arms and lift your body while keeping your knees on the floor, hold for a moment and go down slowly with the entire body.

C. Herbs for Breast Enlargement

You probably already know that most of the natural enlargement pills and creams are made of certain herbs. Here is the list of the most popular breast enlarging botanicals, their use in medicine and how they affect your body.

Fenugreek (Trigonella Foenum)

Most of the breast enlargement pills you find have Fenugreek, either at the top of list of ingredients or anywhere else in the formula. When Fenugreek is listed at the top – it means this is the active ingredient – the one that takes most of responsibility for your breast increase. Why fenugreek? Because it was proved by scientists that fenugreek has certain phyto-estrogens that are very similar to the hormone estrogen produced by female body. Estrogen is the main female sex hormone that is responsible for woman’s young and healthy skin, shiny hair and breast size. Fenugreek gives extra estrogen to female’s body and that results in natural and healthy growth of breast tissue.

In ancient times fenugreek seeds and oil from these seeds were used by breast feeding women to increase the amount of milk, as well as develop larger bust. Other benefits of fenugreek are relief from painful menstruation, libido increase and improvement of digestion.

Saw Palmetto

This is another popular ingredient. Saw palmetto has been long known as a tonic that builds and restores body tissues. In homeopathy it is also given for breasts that become small and shrunken due to a hormonal imbalance, because of its estrogenic action. Also, studies have shown Saw Palmetto to successfully reverse atrophy of the mammary gland.

Saw palmetto is also known to treat urinary tract infection, increase libido and restore hormonal balance.

Fennel

Fennel is another estrogenic herb that has been used for centuries to promote milk production. It has long been praised for its abundance of flavonoids. These compounds exert mild estrogenic effects and are completely harmless and non-toxic.

Pueraria Mirifica

Pueraria Mirifica (White Kwao Krua) is a native herbal plant found in deep forests of the northern region of Thailand. It has been well known to local people for many years due to its distinguished properties and efficacy, as well as regarded as the national identity of traditional medicine. The phyto-estrogens in the Pueraria Mirifica are more concentrated than in any other herbs. It also has anti-aging and rejuvenating properties, helping to battle wrinkled skin and memory loss.

Wild Yam

Wild Yam is thought to have a chemical called diosgenin, which can be used to create progesterone and estrogen for the body, leading to similar effects described above. The herb is widely used in many medicines, specifically those that help to treat various illnesses in women, like yeast infections, premenstrual symptoms, breast tenderness, and a tendency to form cysts in the breasts, ovaries or both.

These ingredients are usually present in all herbal breast enlargement pills, but in different doses. Therefore, the effects of different pills can vary, depending on the unique combination of active chemicals and other supportive ingredients in their formulas.

D. Nutrition for Breast Enlargement.

1. Soy.
Soy is one of the most controversial products today. It is known for being high in estrogen, which seems to automatically make it a good ingredient for breast enlargement pills and creams. But is it really effective?

There is a popular belief that soy products can enlarge woman’s breasts and there are many supplements and breast enlargement pills based on soy that are feeding this belief. However, I would like to give a word of caution here.

Yes, it is true, soy is high in isoflavones - chemicals similar to our bodies’ estrogen. And it is true that our bodies sometimes react to soy’s isoflavones. But it is important to know that medical researches have found dangerous components in soy.

Soy products got their bad reputation a couple of years ago, when researches carried out on mice and rats have shown that a certain component extracted from soy causes growth of estrogen-dependent tumors. These findings triggered big disputes in scientific world and scared many people consuming soy products on a daily basis. But further researches clarified that “when the whole food is consumed you get a very different effect than if you consume the concentrated constituents individually”, according to University of Illinois food science and human nutrition professor William Helferich. Only raw soy and its products (e.g. flour) were found to have positive effects on health. You can read more about this research here.

So, for someone who wants to enlarge their breast size using soy, I would suggest to avoid any chemical pills or supplements which feature “soy extracts”. You do not know what exactly was extracted and the real amount of isoflavones you will receive, since labels can be misleading sometimes. A better choice would be introducing some raw soy food in to your diet. This will be a much healthier option for your breasts, as natural soy can protect against cancer.

As to the question whether or not soy can enlarge breasts, I would say that maybe in some cases it can, but the vast majority of Asian women, for whom soy is a staple food, prove that it is a rare case.

2. Food for Breast Enlargement.

The first step for breast enhancement is ensuring nutrition for your breasts. It is advisable to eat less animal fat. You can eat more oily fish and use virgin oil other than the standard cooking oils. In order to assure the antioxidant supply for your breasts, eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables like onion, garlic, carrots, tomatoes, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower. You have to include more fibre, especially oats, rye, millet, brown rice and beans in your diet to reduce the reabsorption of oestrogen.You have to bring to an end the intake of coffee, cola, chocolate, strong tea and alcohol. Three to four meals a day that consist of protein will build and keep your breasts tone and firm.

You may wonder how anything that you eat can alter your breast size without making you gain weight. The answer is simple. While eating certain foods alone will not guarantee you any bust enlargement, it may really help you getting faster results if you use any other methods, like creams and pills. This is because some food contains a good amount of phyto-estrogens – chemicals that are close to your own estrogen hormone. And since estrogen is responsible for your feminine curves, a slight increase of that hormone in your body can help you to achieve fuller breasts.

The foods that are most known for their high estrogen content are soybeans, wheat, barley and rye (gluten grains), as well as dairy products. Obviously, you are not expected to eat only bread and cheese and drink soy milk, even though this will increase your breast size along with all the other parts of your body. The idea is to include some of these foods in small quantities in to your everyday life, without overdoing it.

Another important tip is eating food that is high in bromine and manganese. These two chemicals are needed because they stimulate the production of our own sex hormones in the body. They also increase the sensitivity of receptors in the breast tissues, making them more receptive to estrogen.

Bromine can be found in many fruits and nuts like apples, pears, grapes, almonds, and walnuts.

Manganese is contained in seafood like prawns and mussels, and also in wholegrain rice, corn and spices (i.e. ginger, cloves). You can get these chemicals in a good amount by trying out the following salads.

Salad 1 1 medium sized melon, 1 banana, 1 apple, juice of 1 lemon, 1 peach, 2 apricots, 250gr of green grapes, 125gr of cherries, 125gr of strawberries, 125gr of raspberries, 4Tbsp of sugar and 1 cup of wine or Madera.

Cut off the top of the melon and remove the insides carefully. Remove the seeds and cut the pulp in cubes. Peel and cut banana, and sprinkle it a little bit with lemon juice. Do the same for the apple. Put the peach in the hot water for a couple of seconds and then peel off the skin and cut in cubes as well. Cut apricots. Wash the cherries and remove the stones. Mix the sugar with wine. Add the fruits and leave for about 1 hour.

Salad 2
500gr of prawns, 350gr green beans, 4 tomatoes, 4 cucumbers, 1 lemon, 2 Tbsp olive oil, spring onion, fresh oregano, 1Tbsp sweat mustard, 1/2tsp sugar, 100gr cheese

Boil prawns in salty water and put aside. Boil the green beans in a little bit of water. Mix prawns, green beans and fresh vegetables. For sauce mix 3tsp of lemon juice, lemon peel, olive oil, spring onions, mustard, sugar and add some pepper and salt. Pour the sauce over prawns and vegetables and decorate with cheese.

E. Exercise For A Better Bust.

Whether you want to make your bust look bigger or you’re trying to decrease a large chest, you can make the most of what nature gave you by fitting a few chest exercises into your upper-body training routine. Some of the best bust exercises include dumbbell chest presses, stability ball push-ups and the dumbbell fly. Find out how you can firm up your bustline for a sexier you.

I'm going to recommend three exercises for you to do at home that won't cost you a dime and will put more boom in your boom-chicka-boom in 6-8 weeks. Simply do 1-3, 8-15 rep sets of each move, 2-3 times a week and I guarantee you'll see results! Have fun.

1. The Modified Push Up

1. Lie on your stomach, bend your knees, and cross your ankles. Bend your elbows and place your palms on the floor a bit to the side and in front of your shoulders. Straighten your arms and lift your body so you're balanced on your palms and knees. Tuck your chin a few inches toward your chest so your forehead faces the floor. Tighten your abdominals.
2. Bend your elbows and lower your entire body at once. Rather than trying to touch your chest to the floor, lower only until your upper arms are parallel to the floor. Push back up. Don't lock your elbows at the top of the movement and don't do the dreaded "head bob." That's when you dip your head toward the floor without moving any other part of your body.

2. Soup Can Press

1. Lie on your back with your feet flat on the floor and a soup can or dumbbell in each hand. Push the soup cans up so your arms are directly over your shoulders and your palms face away from you. Pull your abdominals in but don't jam your back into the floor; don't let it arch way up, either. Tilt your chin toward your chest.
2. Lower the soup cans down and a little to the side until your elbows lightly touch the floor. Push the weights back up, taking care not to lock your elbows or allow your shoulder blades to rise off the floor. (Note: Use soup cans of equal weight. When those get too light, you can fill two Pinesol bottles with dried beans or pebbles.)

3. Incline Fly

1. Lie on the floor with your head, neck and upper back propped up against several large pillows. Hold a soup can or dumbbell in each hand and press the weights directly above your chest, palms facing each other. Tuck your chin to your chest to align your neck with the rest of your spine, and maintain your natural back posture, neither arched nor flattened.
2. Spreading your arms apart so that your elbows travel down and to the sides, lower the weights until your elbows lightly touch the floor. Maintaining a constant bend in your elbows, lift the weights back up, imagining that you have a barrel lying on your chest and you have to keep your arms wide to reach around it.
