Feel Beautiful. be Beautiful. 10 Tips a Little Lipstick Can Change Your Life

April 6th, 2010 hair extensions No comments

My sister recently went through a very difficult time. We were talking on the phone one night and she said “my hair needs to be cut and colored, I haven’t had my nails done in months. I have no energy. I don’t even care” I went over the next day and practically carried her to the salon. I said if you look better you will feel better. A little lipstick can change your life :) Here are 10 simple tips will help you maintain and enhance your natural beauty.

1) Exercise for at least 15 to 20 minutes a day. Exercise boosts your self esteem and the immune system. This makes you less likely to become depressed or sick.

2) Use a water based moisturizer on your lips before putting on your lipstick. This helps the lipstick stay on longer and keeps lips from drying out and becoming chapped.

3) Flush the toxins out of your system by drinking penty of water.

4) Avoid smoking and alcohol. Both deplete the body of essential nutrients and they age your skin.

5) Stress is the biggest beauty culprit.Try to be positive and love every day as a new adventure and get joy from all the little things (so many cost nothing). Drink 8 glasses of water a day and use a moisturizer.

6) Wear sunblock every day. Make sure to apply your sunscreen at least 20 minutes before you go out. Sunscreen takes time to start working.

7) If your eyes are deep set use light shades to line them. Lighter shades will emphasize and give a sultry/seductive look.

8) Make sure you get an adequate amount of sleep each night. Your skin repairs and renews during sleep.

9) Keep skin moisturized. This is especially important in cold, dry climates. Those elements can accelerate the aging process.

10) Make sure you stick to a nightly regimen of cleansing your skin. It’s important to remove makeup and pollutions which can trigger redness, blotchiness and acne.

Natural Collagen Formula 5-22 and finally 5-26 have always been produced in sterile conditions – comparable to those in laboratories – by qualified chemists. Water used in the production process undergoes hyper-filtration by reverse osmosis, while the vessels and tools undergo sterilization. Preparations are placed in glass containers with a batcher mechanism they are protected against overheating by special isolation of the package. All this is done with one aim in mind: to protect collagens spatial structure, which is a deciding factor when it comes to its effectiveness.
Absorbable gel offered by COLWAY, creates a protein net, after entering the skin which makes up a scaffolding for new collagen produced by fibroblasts. This net binds water and lipophile substances. Research on human skin tissues have confirmed an increased production of collagen by fibroblasts, epidermis thickening, increase In the amount of mucin and sluice substances in the papillary layer of skin. The ability of this product to be absorbed can shock clinics. 30 minutes after application on epidermis – collagen starts implementing itself into proper skin cells.
About 48 hours later, one can state a significant increase in the level of hydroxyproline around chondrocytes producing collagen in the bones. These are objective test results, obtained in various centers, correlating with each other. Natural Collagen has also received very positive opinions in beauty salons, hairdresser’s, biological regeneration centers, but predominantly in consumer questionnaires.

 

That’s more or less all about the role of this wonder product in cosmetics. What goes beyond that is medicine. It has been proven that fish collagen has Got a beneficial influence when it comes to treatments of paradonthosis, skin allergies, acne, dandruff, psoriasis, burns, dermatosis, pattern balding, oedema, joint inflammation and many other ailments.

 

The product softens scar edges, speeds up a process of the healing of wounds, abrasions and irritations. It is extolled in the fight against cellulite and stretch marks.

Every day we learn about some new implementations of the product, e.g.in organ transplantology – mainly in transport and preservation

 

We stopped wondering, having finally understood that collagen constitutes 30 % of protein mass in our body, and for example, in the skin or eye – 7O%. Fish collagen will definitely eliminate bovine collagen from implantology, and from the first-aid dressing industry, from vascular prostheses and surgical stitches. Clinical research seems to be very promising as regards treatment against osteoporosis and rheumatism. Actually, we can already speak about success at least in preventive treatment of these ailments.

Extend Your Lifespan With These Natural Supplements

December 11th, 2009 hair extensions No comments

The first line of defense is sound nutrition and of course exercise, but also necessary are supplements. This is due to free radical damage. With supplements you will be able to provide optimal cellular protection. There are various state-of-the-art anti-aging supplements that are proven to work thanks to research. Perhaps you can consider this your very own Anti-Aging Life Extending Supplement Program.
These nutritional supplements will reinforce revitalisation by providing you with protection against free radicals, supporting repair of injured cells, facilitating replacement of dead cells, and boosting production of cellular energy. Without cellular energy you would feel run down most of the time. Through supporting your nutritional intake with supplements, you will be guarding against disease, slowing down the aging process, and improving your quality of life.
Before starting, it is a good idea to take early detection tests in case you are in a transitional phase of dysfunction. Anti-aging and alternative medicine doctors recommend various tests. These include:
Antioxidant profile – test which measures the most important antioxidant nutrients.
Comprehensive digestive stool analysis – asseses digestive function. The hepatic detoxification profile and intestinal permeability profile are also important.
Food allergy test – blood test which identifies 100 antibodies produced in response to specific food allergens.
Heart scan – detects artherosclerotic plaque, which leads to arterial hardening and clogging.
Prostate-specific antigen test – detects prostate abnormalities/cancer.
Bone density exam – detects early signs of osteoporosis.
Oxidative stress profile – tests the degree of free radical damage.
Hormone profile – detects hormonal levels so that your physician can prescribe the appropriate amount and type of hormones your body needs.
These types of tests will help you prevent overt disease by allowing you to detect any metabolic imbalances. You will also be able to find out which supplements you need, and if you retest, you will be able to find out if what you are doing (supplements) are working to improve your health and prevent disease.
To facilitate life extension and actively participate in an anti-aging program, the following supplements are recommended by Timothy J. Smith, MD and creator of The Revolutionary Anti-Aging Program.
Vitamins and minerals Take a high quality multivitamin/mineral supplement if nothing else. These essential nutrients have the most direct relation to cellular protection, repair, and renewal.
Essential fatty acids If you follow the standard American diet, you are very likely to be deficient in these healthy fats. These healthy fats replace the bad fats in your body and also support the production of prostaglandins. Prostaglandins influence the immune, hormonal, circulatory, nervous, excretory, and reproductive systems.
Coenzyme Q10 CoQ 10 production declines after the age of 30, so it is important to supplement with this potent antioxidant. It neutralizes free radicals and is vital to staying young.
Ginseng This popular herb strengthens the immune system, stimulates hormonal production, enhances mental function, and protects your body against the effects of stress. Wow!
Ginkgo This is the most effective weapon against age-related brain disorders. It works by sharpening cognitive function and memory, and by preventing senile dementia and stroke.
Garlic Garlic has age-reversing effects on the cardiovascular and immune system. It helps to prevent artherosclerosis and cancer.
DHEA This is the superstar of anti-aging, though it is best you work closely with a qualified practitioner. DHEA fights degeneration and slows aging. It makes people feel so young again.
Pregnenolone This supplement slows degenerative diseases and is the most powerful intelligence and memory enhancing agent.
Melatonin This potent antioxidant is well known for helping you go to sleep. It also combats the effects of stress and fights disease.
Thyroid Hormone Have yourself tested for undiagnosed hypoclinical thyroidism. It is easily corrected with natural thyroid hormone replacement.
Estrogen, Progesterone, and Testosterone Depending on whether you are male or female, have your levels tested so you can have natural replacement if necessary.
Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) ALC prevents the loss of nerve cells. It also maximizes the production of neurotransmitters to enable nerve cell communication. ALC reverses brain aging while sharpening your memory, alertness, and learning ability.
Fiber For improvement in digestion, fiber is a hero. In studies, low-fiber diets are linked to heart disease and cancer.
Probiotics Since the majority of the immune system is in the digestive system, you need to keep it healthy. Probiotics give you the necessary good bacteria to help you fight infections and other degenerative diseases.
Please consult with your alternative medicine or anti-aging doctor for the appropriate doses according to your needs. It is unnecessary and impractical to take all of these supplements at the same time. Just explore your needs or weaknesses with your physician or other qualified health care provider to find the right anti-aging life-extending supplements for you.
