Relief for Dry, Itchy Skin

Victoria Girard — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:34:00 +0000

As the winter days tick by you may notice your skin becoming drier and drier. Going from the cold, blustery outdoors into the forced heat of the indoors zaps moisture from your skin leaving it dry, flaky, and tight. Dry skin looks older as lines and wrinkles become more pronounced! So, what can you do about it? Follow these steps for more lusciously beautiful skin.

Feed your skin with antioxidants. Foods, such as the mangosteen, that are rich in nutrients and antioxidants help to nourish, protect, and plump up your cells. This powerful fruit fights inflammation, reduces redness, diminishes blotchiness, and feeds your cells the nutrients they need to be moist and plump. Eating a healthy diet packed with antioxidant rich food infuses your cells with vital nutrients that help to maintain more balanced skin.
Omega 3 supplements keep your cell membranes strong and healthy. Fish oil, flaxseed oil, and krill oil are all great sources of this crucial essential fatty acid. Omega 3s promote beautifully moist, plump, and healthy cells that encourage youthful skin. These crucial essential fatty acids help keep your cell membranes strong and healthy which in turn will help your skin function properly.
Red LED light therapy drastically increases the moisture content within your skin. LED light wavelengths penetrate into your skin where they renew, replenish, repair, and heal your cells and tissue. LED lights in certain ranges have the ability to stimulate collagen and elastin production as well as increasing cellular energy. These processes are necessary for healthy skin that retains moisture.
Exfoliate regularly to remove dead skin, flaky skin, and help your skin care products work more effectively. Microderm systems, facial scrubs, and enzyme peels polish the surface of your skin, speeding up cell renewal and promote smoother skin.
Infuse your skin with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid acts like a sponge attracting 1,000 times its weight in water. It helps to keep your skin hydrated and dewy. Look for this beneficial ingredient in serums, lotions, and creams and use it regularly.
Use your moisturizer right after you have cleansed your skin, while it’s still damp and dewy. This will help increase the moisture content within your skin and your skin will hold onto that moisture longer than if you applied the same moisturizer to dry skin.

Dry, tight, flaky, and red skin can be frustrating, embarrassing, and uncomfortable to say the least. Taking steps to ensure that you skin remains moist and healthy will keep you looking your best, even through those harsh winter days.

3 Easy Ways To Start Your Happiness in 2012

vie — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:57:08 +0000

Are you still waiting for your circumstances to change before you’ll allow yourself to be happy? Most of us have preconceived ideas of what would make us happy, and we refuse to be satisfied until those things happen.

The problem is that even once specific things happen in our lives, we’re rarely satisfied with them! Instead, we shift our focus to something even bigger and better, believing “it” will make us happy (or happier). We never allow ourselves to reach a point of contentment. Have you done the same thing to yourself?

The good news is that you can decide to be happy – even if not everything in your life is perfect. Below you’ll find 3 easy ways to start your happiness in 2012:

1. Be grateful.

Gratitude is one of the most powerful states of mind that you can adopt. Not only does it make you feel good, it shifts your focus from what you don’t have to what you DO have, and keeps it there! As you focus more on what you are grateful to have in your life (even the really small blessings!), you worry less about anything that may be lacking. The result? A more pervasive sense of happiness!

2. Take time to smell the roses.

If you spend most of your days feeling rushed and scattered, it’s hard to feel happy and content. In order to be truly happy, you need to make time for yourself to relax, dream, and take pleasure in life’s simpler moments. Beginning today, make sure to spend time doing things you love on a regular basis. Read books that stimulate your imagination; listen to great music; take long walks, and generally make an effort to enjoy your life as it is right now.

3. Love the journey

Many of us make the mistake of pinning all of our expectations on some vague, far-off result, like the completion of goals. We believe that once we “get there” everything will be perfect and we’ll finally be happy. However, there is much to be gained from enjoying the journey TO your destination! Make it your mission to revel in every moment that you’re working toward higher goals. Enjoy the sense of self-mastery and accomplishment you gain with every goal you achieve. Make it a worthwhile journey and you’ll savor the end result that much more!

The most important thing to understand about happiness is that it is largely a CHOICE you make from moment to moment. Though certain serious situations make it difficult to feel happy at times, most often we allow the little things to bother us and block any happiness we would otherwise feel. Embrace happiness in 2012, and it will grow to monstrous proportions in your life!

Making a Memorable Holiday on Christmas

vie — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 06:52:16 +0000

A favorite Christmas song has a line that describes Christmas as ‘the most wonderful time of the year. While giving and receiving gifts is something that is highly anticipated and remembered at Christmas time, there are also many more activities that make Christmas memorable and wonderful.

One of these activities is decorating the Christmas tree. The Christmas tree occupies a central spot and is the most visible display of Christmas in most homes. Unlike in other countries, most American homes do not have a representation of the Nativity scene, which is more likely to be located at churches.

As soon as the Christmas season begins on the day after Thanksgiving, families will begin their search for the perfect Christmas tree. This in itself can become a memorable activity as children may accompany family members to places like a Christmas tree farm to select a tree.

Once a real or artificial tree is selected, then it’s an exciting activity for the entire family to play a part in decorating the tree. Manufactured decorations come in many shapes and forms. But a special memory is created when family members make a special ornament for the Christmas tree, or contribute one or more keepsake items to decorate the Christmas tree. It then becomes a ritual each year for those particular items to be placed on the Christmas tree although other decorations may change in coming years.

Another activity that can help to create special memories at Christmas is baking cookies. Along with popular gingerbread cookies, using cookie cutters to make special holiday-shaped cookies is also practiced a lot in households. Based on the ages of children, they can help in the actual baking activity by measuring and mixing some ingredients, or, younger children can sprinkle sugar on the cookies or decorate them with icing when they are finished. Helping in this activity can also be educational as parents can use the activity of measuring and figuring out equivalent measures to teach fractions and other
mathematical elements.

An activity that is related to food which also helps to create memories during the Christmas season is making fruit and goody baskets, which are filled with candies, baked items and other treats for loved ones, their special friends, neighbors, teachers or for charity. Items such as goody baskets make especially wonderful Christmas gifts because they are home-made. That quality often makes them more treasured than a Christmas present that is bought at the store.

Because Christmas is the season of goodwill and good cheer, it is very important to reach out to family, loved ones and friends during the season. The busy lives that many people lead today often leaves them little or no time during the year to be in frequent contact with family and friends who are located far away, or even others who live within a reasonable distance in the same or a neighboring state, for example.

It is therefore very common during Christmas to send a Christmas or holiday greeting card to those individuals. Along with the pleasant memory of receiving the card, there may be a short letter included that gives a brief account of any significant event in the individual’s life or with members of the family. That makes sending and receiving Christmas greeting cards more memorable.

Then there’s probably the most anticipated activity of Christmas – finding out what Christmas gift Santa brought on Christmas Eve. While adults also look forward with much anticipation to see what Christmas gifts they will get, it’s really the children who get the most delight from receiving presents at Christmas. The carefully planned actions to hide Christmas presents from children and then to magically place them under the Christmas tree to be found on Christmas morning is one of the most wonderful ways to create unforgettable memories for children at Christmas.

Victoria Girard — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 01:09:33 +0000

During this restful time your skin cell production speeds up and your body temperature rises which actually helps your nighttime products penetrate more deeply into the layers of your skin where they can work more effectively.

While you sleep, the hormone melatonin is released and acts as an antioxidant which protects your cells from being damaged by free radicals. On the other hand when you don’t get enough sleep your body produces a hormone called cortisol. Cortisol damages your collagen and causes your skin to age. Sleep deprivation can also trigger dark circles and puffiness, just more reason to get a good night’s sleep.

There has been research that also suggests that it may not be just sleep that encourages your skin to function properly but a state of deep relaxation or “relaxed wakefulness” as well. This suggests that actions such as meditation, prayer, deep breathing exercises, or any peaceful activity will have positive benefits and encourage great skin.
