How to keep Skin natural clean, skincare and cleaners

May 29, 2009 By: arlene Category: Acne, Beauty, Cosmetic, Massage, SPA, Skin Care 6 Comments →

Foaming cleansers contain surfactants—molecules that dissolve oil-based materials on the skin. They are gentle enough for NORMAL SKIN but strong enough to handle the oilier T-zone. Water and oil don’t mix, which is why we can’t depend on H90 alone to penetrate greasy buildup on the surface of our skin. (more…)

Fill a large bowl with warm water. Add a tablespoon of washing soda crystals and add handfuls of rosemary, comfrey, camomile, lavender, yarrow, mint, pine needles, sage or geranium leaves — any or all of them.

Making your own infused or herbal oils

March 18, 2009 By: arlene Category: Botanical Beauty, SPA, Skin Care, Skin Treatment 5 Comments →

Making your own infused or herbal oils is not only fun, it also ensures the quality of the product, especially if you gather wild plants or use organically grown herbs from your own garden. By macerating plant material in a high quality vegetable oil such as almond or olive, you will obtain a solution of the essential oil in the vegetable oil base, and this can be used undiluted as a massage oil, or if strong enough, mixed 50/50 with a further quantity of vegetable oil. The diluted version is best for children and for those with sensitive skin. You can also add a few drops of essential oil to herbal oils at the rate of about 1/2 to 1 per cent. (more…)

First choose an appropriate base for your skin type: (more…)

Creative Beauty Bath, bath with joy

March 06, 2009 By: arlene Category: Body Care, Home, Massage, SPA 7 Comments →

I like to take a quick shower. Not because a bath won’t please me, I just feel a little bit of lazy on the end of day. For a bath, I have to jump in to clean my bath tub first. It is a really crowed space. I find a lot of difficult to get it cleaned. Then I have to jump out to open my hot water tap and wait for a perfect temperature. I have to put my chair next to bath tub to put on my tower, my essential oils. When the water is ready, I start to jump in my tub and start to take a bath. I don’t like sitting on the bottom of bath tub with the water pushing around my chest. When I need body shampoo, I have to stand up and do it in the air. Finally, I have to reach to my shower and have a clean running water to clean my body and wash my hair. (more…)

Beauty and Face Lift Cosmetic Surgery part 2

Face Lift for who is appropriate

The best results are achieved when a face lift is done earlier rather than later. Although face lifts are usually not sought till the mid-50s or early 60s, a face lift carried out in the 40s may prevent some of the more distressing signs of facial ageing, such as hanging folds of skin around the neck, which develop later and which sometimes can’t be corrected well. Both men and women can have face lifts but the results are usually better in women. (more…)

Scars of Nose Cosmetic Surgery

The good news is that there are unlikely to be any scars that show at all. However, if you have a nose reduction that entails bone being taken from your rib or hip as a graft, you will have a small scar in that area.

Problems involved in Nose Cosmetic Surgery

You may initially have less of a sense of smell, an unpleasant sensation of your nose being blocked and a little difficulty breathing comfortably. These problems will pass. (more…)

Brow Lift Cosmetic Surgery for Frown Lines and Furrows

October 16, 2008 By: arlene Category: Anti-Aging, Beauty, Botanical Beauty, Cosmetic, Cosmetic Surgery, Facial, Medi Spa, Skin Care 5 Comments →

In the course of ageing, we all develop frown lines and furrows on the forehead but for some of us they are more prominent than for others, depending on the kind of skin we have, how much we frown and, also, inherited conditions which can make these lines appear relatively earlier in life.

Most people who consider cosmetic surgery because of an unacceptable, to them, degree of ageing of the face are disappointed to find that a face lift, which sounds so all- encompassing, does not touch these lines at all. Face lift surgery concentrates on the lower face and neck only. (more…)

Cosmetic Surgery for the Chin and Aesthetical Benefit

October 13, 2008 By: arlene Category: Beauty, Botanical Beauty, Cosmetic, Cosmetic Surgery, Medi Spa, Scar, Skin Care, Skin Treatment 7 Comments →

A jutting or receding chin often causes grief to its owner but, whereas a great many people seek cosmetic surgery for noses, far fewer even know that anything can be done to the chin. Sometimes, in fact, it is the shape of the chin that throws an otherwise innocuous nose into undue prominence and a surgeon may suggest correction of the former rather than the latter. In a few cases, however, surgery for both the chin and the nose may be aesthetically beneficial.

The chin is, of course, part of the jaw but surgery for the chin is a different matter entirely from surgery for the entire jaw. The latter is a major procedure in which usually the teeth need realignment too because deformities of the jaw affect bite. Such surgery is not carried out by cosmetic surgeons but by oral and maxillofacial surgeons, working together with orthodontists. Chin surgery is concerned only with the small part of the jaw that sticks out under your mouth but it is not undertaken by all cosmetic surgeons. Ask for guidance from your general practitioner.

Dangers of Sun Exposure

It is truly more dangerous now than even a few years ago to expose yourself to the sun! Scientists have noted a substantial decrease in the ozone layer above the earth’s atmosphere. This is the layer that acts as a protective filter to save us from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.

Measurements in the late fall, winter, and early spring showed a reduction of 5 percent as opposed to the previous decade. Calibrations initially focused on the seasonal “hole” in the ozone layer, (more…)

Genetic Risk and Breast Cancer part 3

October 03, 2008 By: arlene Category: Body Care, Depression, Health, Healthcare, Medi Spa, Stress Reducing, health supplement 6 Comments →

Women with newly diagnosed breast cancer are concerned about any possible risk to their daughters and sisters. If a woman does not appear to be in a family that has breast cancer in approximately half the women on one side, then she probably does not have either the BRCA-1 or BRCA-2 gene. Gene positivity is associated with bilateral breast cancer, ovarian and breast cancer in the same family, and Ashkenazic Jewish ancestry. Women who are gene positive tend to develop breast cancer at a younger age than women with non-hereditary breast cancer. (more…)

After Medical Treatment, Copying Fear of Recurrence

However, if your cancer treatment is completed and you feel an unexplainable anxiety even though your trials are apparently over, read on.

These feelings are common and occur, in part, because the end has come to the frequent visits with your various doctors, which can serve to comfort—giving you the tangible evidence that someone is watching over you and your health. But, aside from that, you may be struggling with the fear of recurrence that many women experience at this time. Remember, during the treatment planning process, you want to develop a plan to optimize your chance of cure and to carry out that plan. When done, it is time for you to go on with your life. (more…)

You will notice at the base of the fingers that it says “ears” and “eyes.” With your right thumb, press on the pad just about where the fingers join your left hand. Use a press-and-roll motion here as you search out tender spots. When you find a sore spot, keep working it for a few seconds to release a flow of electrical life force into the congested area, thus giving nature a helping hand in healing whatever the malfunction might be.

Skin is not safe from Sun Exposure part 3

September 23, 2008 By: arlene Category: Anti-Aging, Cosmetic, Lips Care, Medi Spa, Skin Botanica, Skin Care 7 Comments →

Decreased Immunity

Your skin is your first layer of protection from the environment. These capture foreign substances and organisms to present them to the immune system deeper in the skin and in the blood.

It is known that after exposure to UV light, the number of Langerhan’s cells markedly decreases and can even disappear completely, making us far more susceptible to skin infection. When you suffer sunburn you compound the problem. Not only are your immune cells depleted, but the blistering of acute sunburn breaks down the skin, making infection more likely. (more…)

There is no doubt that the sun does damage the skin. “If you tan now, you’ll pay later!”

You will be surprised to learn about the many kinds of sun damage that you or your friends or family may suffer if you do not take the proper precautions. You were probably unaware of some of these hazards.

Sunburn

Although most people admit that they’d like a light suntan, nobody wants a sunburn. Nevertheless there are many people who love to spend hours at the beach, thinking that their sunburn is the first step towards a “glorious” tan. Many people have at one time shared this view. (more…)
