This evaporation cools the blood running through the capillary blood vessels which returns to the heart and lungs cooling the human body from the inside.

Less water makes the body shrives thus the age and stress marks so a healthy dose of water would be enough to maintain your body, cooler and younger.

As it turns out, Geisha or the ultimate entertainers of Japan were truly trendsetters in the arena of beauty not only for their exceptional skills at the Japanese performing arts (they’re not PROSTITUTES). They have been using all-natural make-up for centuries which was taken out of style as Western style lipstick and other beauty products began to flood the market. A Japanese cosmetics firm named Isehan-Honten is ensuing the revival of the all natural make-up that was part of Japanese culture for millennia by releasing the world’s most expensive lipstick. Beni is extracted from orange-petaled safflower which has the peculiar habit of having its most color before the sun rises (so they are picked before the sun rises) in July at Japan’s Yamagata Mountains. They are soaked, steamed to make a compound that turns red when water is applied. Richness of the color can be changed with the amount of water that is applied, ranging from pale pink to rich ruby red. The lipstick costs around 70,000 to 300,000 Japanese Yen which translates to around 335 to almost 1,500 British Pounds!

Beach season again and we’ve all said it again and again, take care of your skin so you don’t get sunburned and look older. Many still ignore the aging effects of the harmful UV rays the sun showers down on the earth which does us some good but too much is known to cause skin cancer plus a myriad of other skin problems. Arm yourself with sunscreen for your body, face and lip balm for your lips to avoid those ugly age lines that once you get them don’t go away so easily.

All women and even some men use beauty products each and everyday, many are unaware that the average woman applies close to two hundred specific chemical compounds on their faces each and every day. Two hundred may be a bit too exaggerated but it’s true, check out th3e ingredients on your make up and you’d get the picture. Also check the labels of soaps, cleansers and other beauty products you use and you may even end up with more. The lowly hair styling gel may contain anything form 2 dozen or more chemical compounds (and you’ll be surprised to know it also contains formaldehyde, you know, the embalming stuff or some derivative of sorts) and that’s just for hair styling. Be sure to check out the labels and also try to go organic, thought they are not as safe as you always think they were as with the previous post. Imagine all those chemicals being absorbed by your skin into the blood and you’d get the picture. If not, you end up becoming a soup of chemicals on the inside and suffer from some unknown disease you don’t even know might have been precipitated by the make-up and beauty products you use on you.
