Basics, Real-life
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.

You’ve heard of them and they’ve been debated on for years, stem cells or the body’s super cells that have the ability to turn into just about any type pf cell inside the human body with a few hormones and genes thrown into the mix to make it all work out. Many say the beauty crèmes you get off the shelf for a dollar and the way pricy stuff you get form stores have just the same effects and ingredients, wrong! Well for this one product that is, Amatokin(R) which was developed in a high security lab surrounded by guards that are armed to the teeth with sub-machine guns in some small corner of Russia where they were working on some product to allow the healing and renewal of skin for burn victims (most beauty products have roots in the drive to discover and develop products for burn victims if you’d like to know) when they came upon polypeptide#153 which has rejuvenation effects for skin and promised to be a revolution in the cosmetics industry. Most anti-ageing compounds and products come from research in genetics and stem cells which has benefited millions of women world wide. The research is top secret and you would know why, who doesn’t want ageless skin?

There are a lot of beauty myths around which makes attaining perfect beauty a little harder, in this post we will tackle some of them in hopes of ending the fears people have about their bodies and maintaining that youthful glow. Let’s begin with hair, that all crowning glory of your physiology, there are myths that say you must not pluck hair or ten would grow in it’s place, that is very much false for there is no way that ten hairs would grow from just one single follicle. But do stay away from that gray hair for if you do pluck it, the one that grown in it’s place would lie flat giving the impression of thinning hair. A better option would be to color it and leave it be. What ever your ethnic background, we will all loose hair as we age and that has been the focus of many studies from the hair transplantation business. Better delay or prevent loss that have to add more to get more.

A new hair removal tool for those unsightly hairs on your body, that prevents you from wearing your favorite swimsuit is out on the market. The device called “No!No!” from Sephora uses thermal technology that kills the hair follicles which results in the smell of burning hair. Not recommended for the face (due to possible lawsuits if you happen to burn yourself while using it), it uses pulsed heat through a thermal wire which burns off the unwanted hairs in those areas such as bikini lines and others. The product claims to reduce new body hair growth by as much as 64% and is not hailed or even advertised to be a permanent hair removal tool rather a reducer. The product is available exclusively in their stores and do expect a hefty price for less hair for it costs $250 so you’ll be sure to dig into your savings of have to save for quite sometime before you can get one for your personal beauty arsenal.

Old wisdom told us that too much oil is harmful to health, but recent studies have shown that certain types of vegetable and animal oils in the class of unsaturated fatty acids are very much beneficial. They do not harm the organs due to the body’s natural ability to manufacture the said compounds which are essential for healthy living. Many products are on the market which can contain derivatives from many plants and other sources. Identified as the ultimate salad oil by nutritionists, they help the body in it’s natural workings allowing it to stay young and glowing.

Many beauty queens truly deserve the title of being queens for the roles they play in society. Many who do win contests act as representatives to many human oriented projects like those from the WHO, and other charitable organizations. They also have private lives that may be similar to most of us except their jobs require them to be under continuous scrutiny. Like the recent events that have had beauty queens stripped of titles due to their untoward behavior in public. Many of these people forget that once they step up to the plate they are there to stay. Those that do not make it have lives to return to and those who do stay there for sometime diligently fulfilling the mandates of their pageant.

Ever been bothered by those broken veins on your face and legs, well they’re actually broken capilliaries and can be compared to a milder form of varicose veins older women usually have from long periods of standing up. It is unsightly especially in the summer when you would dare to bare it all yet have to hide all that skin under clothing because of them. The good news is that there are proceses that takes them away as if by magic but expect a hefty price for they cost around 200 Pounds per hour and a minimum 3 session treatment is needed for effective removal or at least to make them least apparent.
The tratment has a solution that shrinks these lines or veigns that eventually disappear as the treatment progresses. The treatment usually lasts a few weeks and a full summer’s worth of sun is to be avoided for the treated parts so they don’t reappear.

Many people dread pictures and brand themselves as non-photogenic which tends to muddle up the overall picture so to speak. Everybody has a bad and good side, literally and even celebrities have a pose they want to show off and some sides they tend to hide. Ask a beauty expert for advice on which side of your face is the best to accentuate so the next time tound you’d know which way to face. Check out old photos so you get which pose and side combination works best for you. Ned make-up for a new look, try it out a few days in advance of your photo shoot or event so you can correct or ask for advise for untamable makeup. Remember, beauty is how you project yourself and it starts from within. If you don’t feel about yourself on the inside, whatever you do, the outside reflects this too so keep smilen’ and posin’.

Many think beauty is limited to the face without much consideration for the body as a whole. The newer wholistic approach to beauty sees the face as part of the human body and only a small part of the person’s beauty. For a beautiful face, get a scalp massage, sounds crazy? Well, the scalp as we know it is mostly skin that as we age tends to lose some of its elasticity. This loss of elasticity tends to excert pressure on your muscles and skin leading to headaches and other annoying aches and pains that with a simple and relaxing massage sends it away into peaceful bliss leaving you refreshed and beautiful ready to continue with the rest of the day.

News from OrganicAuthority.com, not all organic products are totally organic and that’s the truth. They say it all in the article and raise a new warning for consumers. Many products that are on the shelves of department stores and other outlets claim to be totally organic and thus we think they are safe for use all the time. Yet a non-profit watchdog agency has revealed that out of all the so-called “organic products” most have chemicals that can be harmful to your health and even be toxic for some people. The article also reveals a very important point, the cosmetics industry is not regulated by the EPA or the FDA and they are mostly ignorant of any cosmetic products that may have toxic chemicals or chemical concoctions that can be harmful for humans. The study is prompting for meetings between the EPA and the FDA and cosmetic manufacturers due to the fact that cosmetics is a booming industry worth billions of dollars each year in the United States alone.
