Ten Skin Care Tips

December 26, 2008 by Katerina

Healthy skin is truly one of the most important ingredients for beauty-enhancement. This article on skin care tips is an effort to bring the 10 best skin care tips to you. The list of skin care tips has been restricted to 10 because anything more that that would not only be difficult to remember, but also shadow the more important skin care tips. So let’s see what these top ten skin care tips are:

  1. Knowing your skin type is one of the most important skin care tip. This is important because not every skin care product suits everyone. In fact, all the skin care products specify the type of skin they cater too.
  2. ‘Drink a lot of water’. This will not keep your skin moist but will help in overall upkeep of your health (and in turn your skin). It might seem a bit awkward to some, however, this is an important skin care tip. (more…)

    Hair Care: Diet & Healthy Hair

    by Katerina

    Eat your way to beautiful, healthy hair. Just like your body, your hair also needs a balanced diet to stay healthy.

    Diet solution for dry and brittle hair:

    If your hair is dry and breaks easily, it is probably a lack of essential fatty acids. By including plenty of good sources of essential fatty acids in your diet you can give your hair back its strength and lustre.
    You can find these essential fatty acids in oily fish such as tuna, sardines, trout, salmon, herrings and mackeral. Also in seeds, nuts, olives and avocados. You should try to eat four servings of oily fish a week.
    Sprinkling flaxseed oil and pumpkin seeds over your morning cereal is another great way to get these much needed essential fatty acids in your diet. (more…)

    How to Choose a Diet that Works

    December 15, 2008 by Olgita

    The study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine this summer, followed more than 300 moderately obese Israelis for two years, assigning them to one of three diets: a low-fat, calorie-restricted diet; a Mediterranean diet high in fiber; and a low-carb diet.

    Although we’ve been conditioned to think that low-fat diets are the best way to lose weight, the results didn’t bear that out. On average, those on the low-fat diet only lost 6.5 pounds, compared with 10 pounds on the Mediterranean diet and 10.3 pounds on the low-carb diet. (more…)

    Picking Lingerie YOU Feel Comfortable In -
    It’s Hard to Pull off Sexy If You Don’t Feel Comfortable

    Choosing lingerie isn’t easy if you’re the least bit self-conscious—and who isn’t? After all, when you’re wearing a teddy or a baby doll, there’s not much left but you in all your glory. If you’re feeling glorious, either because you’re madly in love or you’ve just completed an astonishing diet program, you can probably put on nearly any piece of lingerie without feeling too self conscious.

    October 31, 2008 by Olgita

    Have no fear, these simple winter skin care tips can help you prevent - and treat - dry, chapped skin. And keep you smiling, all season long.

    Winter Skin Care Tip 1: Shorten Those Showers

    Perfect hands

    October 22, 2008 by Olgita

    The key to keeping the hands looking younger is to moisturize daily, if possible after every hand washing because the combination of the lack of sebaceous glands and constant use can cause peeling and cracking of the skin, and nothing is less attractive than peeling skin. Eventually as well, the hands will become permanently wrinkled and look old. Try to protect hands from the sun and keep them dry as water left on the skin will evaporate and further dry the skin out. A hand massage is also recommended as often as possible. It is relaxing, and increases the circulation that could help in eliminating little aches and pains that may be due to overuse and abuse. This can be done after washing or bathing, every night before going to bed or after particularly strenuous activity. Use a light moisturizer every time. For really rough, coarse skin, slather on generous amounts of moisturizing cream and slip on a pair of cotton gloves before going to bed. (more…)

    Enjoy your massage!

    October 21, 2008 by Olgita

    Massage and body treatments are a lot more enjoyable if you are properly prepared. Massage etiquette applies to any type of spa services, from facials to pedicures, and it will ensure that you get quality service while remaining comfortable and relaxed. Most spa etiquette tips are common sense, but some are uniquely adapted to the spa environment.

    Before your massage or spa treatment, make sure that you book an appointment at a time which is convenient for you. Plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early, and make sure that you do not need to rush off after your appointment to another destination. Make sure to ask about the spa’s cancellation policy, and be specific about what you want. If you want a 90 minute deep tissue massage, for example say that you want a 90 minute deep tissue, rather than “a massage.” If you are booking a spa treatment, ask about available treatments and how long they generally take. After you have made your appointment, ask the receptionist to confirm the date, time, and service with you. (more…)

    Hair Perfumes

    October 16, 2008 by Olgita

    There is a strong longing among women today to return to the familiar scents that once made a significant fragment of a very remote past.

    Perfumes have long been part of our “aromatic” history dating back as far as the Assyrian and Egyptian civilizations where it is usually said that queens, princesses, and court ladies produced their desired perfumes by “imitating” the fragrances of their gardens, the forest covers that their empires owned, and the gift of spices and oils from visiting ambassadors of neighboring countries.

    It is really very easy. To get started, (more…)
