TANNING


Why is it that people look so good and healthy with a little colour, yet tanning can be so harmful to your skin? Recent studies and the news report that there are more cases than ever of melanoma and we all know that extensive exposure to the sun will cause your skin to age more quickly.

There are solutions to the problem of harmful UV sunlight that allow you to have all of the aesthetic benefits of a rich tan without the harmful side effects. The answer is in the types of tanning products you use to care for your skin while in the sun and after.

Pre-Tanning Preparation

It is always good to keep your skin moisturized. Cold weather and dry air can dry it out as well as salt water and chlorine. Always protect your skin with moisturizers day and night. They are most effective if applied immediately following a shower because the skin is moist and freshly exfoliated from washing.

Before going out in the sun, even in the winter, it is important to protect skin with a moisturizer that has a SPF protection factor of 15 or more. This rating is how many times more protected skin is than if it had nothing on it. It is so important to protect the face because it is more susceptible to sunburn.

Tanning Beds

Tanning beds are only slightly less harmful to the skin that the actual sun. However, there are tanning bed lotions meant especially for tanning beds that give a deeper tone to the skin and protect it at the same time. Artificial tanning bed light bulbs are extremely strong, and that is why you can tan in just a few minutes per session. This also prepares the skin to deepen in colour each time you go to the beach.

Many salons have tanning booths where you stand or beds where you lie down and get all areas of the body tan at once. This is a good place to go if you are planning to go on vacation to a warm weather climate in the middle of winter. You can enjoy all of your holiday without having to worry about sunburn, because you can condition your skin to the sun before you leave home.

Lotions & Creams and other Tanning Products

It can be confusing knowing what type of lotion to use to best protect your skin and still give you great colour. There are spray on lotions, facial tanner products, a lotions with all kinds of number on them! Much of what you should use depends on your skin type.

If you are fair skinned then you need to choose a tanning product that protects the most. An SPF rating of at least 15, but 30 would be better. Those with darker, olive skin tones can use a lotion with an SPF of 8 and be adequately protected, provided they reapply the lotion frequently if there are going to be in the sun for long periods of time. There are also sunless tanning products that offer no protection from UV rays, but will change the skin colour without the sun.

ANTI AGING FOODS


As long as you live, you will age--it is inevitable. Although we may never find the fountain of youth, there are foods that have anti-aging properties. Until the fountain proves to be more than a myth, anti-aging foods are a safe and healthy option. Certain anti-aging foods are known to slow down the effects of aging on the human body.


AVOCADO:

Avocado is a fruit that is a healthy source of monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fat helps to reduce the bad cholesterol in the body that can block arteries. Avocado is also good source of vitamin E. Vitamin E, an antioxidant, promotes healthy skin by improving the skin's moisture level and softness. A few ways avocados can be enjoyed are in guacamole or sliced on top of a salad.

BERRIES:

Dark berries like blueberries and blackberries contain flavonoids that are powerful antioxidants. These antioxidants help protect the body against free radicals that can cause damage to living cells. Berries also contain vitamin C, which helps boost the immune system. Berries make a great healthy snack any time of day.

Cruciferous Vegetables:

Broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage are all part of the Cruciferous vegetable family. These vegetables aid the body in fighting toxins and cancer. Eating these vegetables raw or slightly cooked is the best way to consume them. The cooking process destroys the good enzymes that the body needs.

NUTS:

Nuts are rich in vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants. Nuts can help lower your cholesterol, enhance your digestive system, and prevent cancer. Enjoy nuts on salads, as a snack or on top of ice cream.

SUN PROTECTION

INFORMATION ABOUT SUN CARE


For best sun protection, a UVA and UVB-protective sunscreen with a SPF of 15 or higher should be applied to clean, dry skin 30 to 60 minutes before exposure to UV-rays.
If outdoor activity involving swimming or excess sweating is planned, a water-resistant formula should be used. Sunscreen should be reapplied every one to three hours and after swimming or excessive sweating; however, reapplication does not extend the time of protection.

Other strongly recommended sun protective measures include avoiding mid-day sun exposure; wearing a broad-brimmed hat; wearing loose-fitting, tightly woven, colored clothing; and changing into dry clothing following swimming to allow less penetration of UV radiation. Sunbathers should also remember that large beach umbrellas reduce exposure by only 50%.

Sunstroke or heatstroke is a condition in which the thermoregulatory mechanism of the body fails, sweating stops, and body temperature rises above 105 F. Sunstroke is usually the last stage of a series of heat and sun related problems (including heat stress and heat exhaustion), during which dehydration, fever, and hypotension become important. Sunstroke is life-threatening. Victims of sunstroke are confused and need immediate medical care; evacuation may be required.

HAIR MASK


Just as a facial mask can help correct imbalances in your complexion, a hair mask can work to keep your tresses in top shape. Although hair masks are a common treatment at luxury spas around the world, you don’t have to be rich to enjoy this pampering beauty ritual. There are a number of hair masks that you can make at home using ingredients that are inexpensive and readily available.

The process of making your own hair mask is fairly simple, although you’ll probably want to save the treatment for a time when you plan to spend the entire evening at home. Some of the ingredients used in do-it-yourself hair masks can have a distinctive odor which may require two or three shampoos to remove completely.

To make a “fruit smoothie” mask that works well as a conditioner for all hair types, combine 1/2 banana, 1/4 cantaloupe, 1/4 avocado, one tablespoon yogurt, and one tablespoon wheat germ oil in a blender. Massage the mixture into your scalp and wait at least 15 minutes before shampooing.

If your hair is very dry, you can make a hair mask by mixing two whole eggs with four tablespoons of olive oil. Apply the mixture throughout your hair, then cover your scalp with plastic wrap. Wait 10 to 15 minutes, remove the plastic, and shampoo as usual.

Damaged hair is a very common concern for women who have their hair colored or highlighted and frequently use curling irons or blow dryers as part of their styling routine. If you have damaged hair, you can make a hair mask by combining a very ripe banana with a few drops of almond oil. Add this mixture to your hair for approximately 15 minutes. Rinse with soda water, then shampoo as usual.

Body Hair Removal: Solutions For Today

While it's a quick painless hair removal method which is effective, it lasts only for very short bursts of time and can never be termed a permanent hair removal solution. Still for people short on time and low on cash, shaving still promises to be an affordable practical solution. For the slightly advanced enthusiast, depilatory creams are a good bet to do facial hair removal and leg hair removal. These creams effect quick hair removal through surface chemical reactions with the protein in your hair, breaking it down and making it easy to come off. Available in a variety of forms such as gels and aerosols and typically calcium-compound based, this treatment offers a solution which however is not a permanent hair removal method.

Tweezing like waxing works by plucking the hair out of the skin right from its root s, thereby giving a hairless skin which can last for several weeks until the roots of the hair grow back.

While the effect of electrolysis hair removal is long standing in nature, frequent sessions and a serious dent on your bank balance are realistic possibilities that you need to keep in mind.

CAUSES OF WOMEN HAIR LOSS


Shiny and soft locks are considered as the woman’s crowning glory. They can either make or break a woman’s appearance. However, females are not spared from hair thinning. They experience it just like men experiences baldness. And this can be very devastating for them. Different hair loss treatments for women are now available on the market. However, one must first identify the causes for thinning hair before a treatment is done.

1. Androgenetic Alopecia

Aging is the most well-known cause of hair loss among women. Unlike men, women decreases hair production by the time they reach 35 to 40. It is part of normal life cycle where both man and woman shed hair as they grow old. This is called the Androgenetic Alopecia and is accountable for 95% of hair loss in both genders.

2. Lifestyle

Every year, the rate of woman’s hair loss is rapidly increasing and is gradually running after the huge rate of hair loss among men. Changing lifestyle would have something to do with this.

Although researches found that women are more health conscious than men, they are more figure-conscious when compared to the opposite sex. As a result, they find ways to be skinny such as skipping meals. When there are not sufficient amount of nutrition in the body, one’s well-being is affected.

Visible results can be seen at a woman’s skin texture, eyes, nails, and of course in the liveliness of their tresses. If undernourishment goes on for months, it would gradually result to hair fall. Components of anti-depressant and diet pill may alleviate hair loss as well.

3. Chemicals & Hairstyles

Aside from lifestyle, women are said to be more prone to hair loss than men because they use more chemicals on a daily basis than the latter. Mouse, gel, hairsprays and strong shampoos have intense substances that may irritate the follicle causing to be incapable of producing healthy strands of locks.

Tight hairstyles such as pigtails, tight braids and even rollers may also give the same effect. Hair treatments like hot oil or hair perms, although most salons claim that it can give a healthier and shinier hair as a result, may often lead to scalp inflammation and in the long run, a thinning hair.

4. Stress

Nowadays, women live a very stressful life. Physical and emotional stress leads to an unhealthy hair production. Usually, three to four months after giving birth, most women undergo a so-called post partum hair fall. This also happens after having an abortion or miscarriage. These and other events that only a woman may experience, makes this gender even more susceptible to hair loss. Moreover, a woman may also lose few strands of her locks when beginning or ending an intake of birth control pills.
