| How
To Fight Against Wrinkles (NEW)
How you choose to treat wrinkles
and other signs of aging depends on what stage of your
life you're at.When wrinkles are just beginning to appear,
sunblock is the best course of action. At that stage, skin
can still repair itself, and wearing sunscreen regularly
will prevent further damage and help the skin regenerate
itself. An alpha-hydroxy acid product is also a good idea,
because it will lightly exfoliate the dulling layer of
dead skin and give it a smoother, clearer look.

Dark circles around the eyes (NEW)
Use a concealer, go to bed a little earlier than
normal, try raising your top of your bed (for sinus
problems), cold compresses and plenty of fibrous food in
your diet. At last resort, lasers can help take care of
the pigmentation problem.

Foot Blisters (NEW)
Apparently you have to squeeze a little of the white
liquid of the dandelion onto the blister and then cover it
with a bandage

Only use dandelions that have not been sprayed with
pesticides and if this liquid causes any discomfort, wash
it off immediately. You could have a skin sensitivity to
the substance.

The importance of Vitamin C (NEW)
Have you noticed that Vitamin C is used in many skin
care products?
Why? It helps in the formation of collagen (the skin's
support fibres).Does it work? It varies from person to
person, but many people report that their skin's texture
seems to be improving.
Usually you have to wait so long to see improvement in
your skin's texture. Not so apparently with Vitamin C.

Winter months can often mean centrally heated home
containing little moisture.
To solve this problem, invest in a humidifier or even
place bowls of water around your home. It doesn't take a
lot to put moisture back into your environment, you simply
have to remember to do it.

You Using Shaving Foam?

between the skin and the foam? This causes a dragging of
the razor and could be the reason that you are noticing
irritation and even ingrown hair.

know that it also benefits the appearance of your skin. It
increases circulation which delivers nutrients AND allows
for a restful sleep which gives the skin the chance to
rejuvinate.

| Makeup
and Gyms
Never go to the gym with makeup on. When you sweat, it
will have all that makeup to get thru and clog up your
pours. It is even worse if you can't wash your face for a
few hours for some reason.

Oily
Skin and How To Care For It
If you have oily skin, cleanse only two or three times
at the very most with a product made for your skin type.
Washing more often will only strip the skin of oil which
simply revs up the oil glands to replace it. Be sure to
rinse thoroughly and then finish off with a toner/
astringent to on the oily areas of your skin. The
astringent can be used throughout the day to help control
the excess oil that appears.

Condition
Your Hair

as well. By coating each strand, it offers easier

this critical time.
