Skin Care-Bright

Posts Tagged ‘about’

Being the largest, not to mention most exposed, organ of the body, the skin offers many telling details about a person’s identity—from one’s lifestyle to choice of products. This is why the skin has been subject to frequent, sometimes intentional, scrutiny. And for fear of failing the test, a lot of people have paid much closer attention to the skin. This is purely normal; in fact, proper skin care should be in the mind of every individual. This doesn’t mean, however, incorporating complex skin care routine in daily itineraries, because practicing skin care basics should do well enough.

Here are the four basics of skin care. Do them with regularity and your skin will look as radiant and young as you want it to.

1. Cleanse. A healthy skin is a clean skin, so regularly cleanse your skin with a compatible facial cleanser. A good cleanser removes dirt, excess oil, and germs, while being gentle on the skin. When choosing a cleanser, consider your type of skin and be extra critical. Some cleansers come in the form of soaps, others in liquid form. There are beauty experts who prefer using liquid cleansers since they believe soaps can strip off moisture from the skin and leave it dry. However, this is an issue of personal preference. Should you be more comfortable using soap, it’s okay. But be sure to choose mild soaps.

TIP: Do not over-wash your skin because it will do your skin more harm than good. At the most, wash your face twice—morning and night. Some people prefer to wash with only lukewarm water in the morning, and use cleanser at night. Again, whether you omit the cleanser from your morning routine is an issue of preference.

2. Moisturize. The goal of moisturizers is to keep moisture locked into the skin, preventing it to be dry, flaky, and cracked. Every skin type needs to be moisturized, even the oily skin. Good thing is, there are specially designed moisturizers for each skin type.

TIP: Because of the advanced science, moisturizers today are a far cry from their early counterparts, which used to be only made of water and wax mixtures. Nowadays, there are ingredients that replenish natural oil and help with exfoliation, such as glycerol, ceramides, and hydroxyl acids. Look for these ingredients when choosing a moisturizer.

3. Exfoliate. Few people know that exfoliation is as important as cleansing the skin and so leave it out from their routine. This should not be the case. Skin exfoliation at least once a week is necessary to remove dead skin cells that cause blackheads, whiteheads, and pimples. With regular exfoliation, the skin is smooth and radiant.

TIP: Facial scrubs have potent exfoliation properties, which is why many skin care manufacturers are now producing their own scrub products. But because there are a lot of options in the market, it pays to be a little critical. When looking for a facial scrub, choose the one with small grains. This is proven to work more gently on the skin.

4. Sun-protect. A lifetime of sun exposure causes most of the skin damages, and usually these damages, which include wrinkles, dark spots, uneven skin, and dryness, appear later in life. But because they tend to manifest slowly, these damages are all too often ignored. Protect your skin from the sun, particularly from the damaging UV rays, early on and use sunscreen protection.

TIP: When you don’t apply sunscreen, your efforts of practicing the other skin care basics are all in vain. So start investing on sunscreen and choose those products with SPF 15 or more. For more protection, apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out and reapply when necessary.

We all want that “movie star” skin and using the right skin care cream can help achieve that goal. Like anything, it takes a commitment. It’s not hard; you just need to be consistent. In just a few minutes a day and by using the right skin care moisturizer cream you can have that beautiful skin you’ve dreamed about.

We all want to overcome the influence of Mother Nature when it comes the age of our skin. There are several things we can do in addition to using the right skin care cream.

1) Having a consistent exercise program. This could be as simple as getting out in the fresh air walking every day. Walking in the morning when the air is fresh is a great time. You need fresh air and so does your skin. Apply your skin care moisturizer cream AFTER you walk, as to allow your skin to breathe.

2) Drink Plenty Of Water. How many times have you heard this? Our bodies contain 60% water. Even the best skin care cream will not do you any good if you don’t get enough pure, clean water.

3) Avoid Any Skin Care Moisturizer Cream that contains alcohol. Alcohol is actually a drying agent and is bad for your skin. It is usually found in cheap skin care cream that does not work.

4) Get Some Sunshine. A few minutes of sun will actually do you some good. Studies show that being in the sun helps in the production of Vitamin D which helps promote overall health and well being.

5) Start A Healthy Diet. A skin care moisturizer cream won’t be it’s at its best if you eat junk. A person’s skin generally is determined by the quality of the food that they eat. Juicing organic greens will help make a great skin care cream even more effective.

Now, what are some of the things we start looking for in a skin care cream? First, we want to make sure that it is the right kind of cream for our skin type or can be used by all skin types. You need to determine if you have dry skin, oily skin, or are somewhere in the middle. You wouldn’t want to select a skin care moisturizer cream that has a heavy oil base if your skin tends to be on the oily side.

Products that include Vitamin E (which has a moisturizing effect) and Hyaluronic Acid (which tends to hold moisture in) are a great place to start. Again, avoid products that contain alcohol.

I only use natural skin care cream products that have not been tested on animals. Natural products can be slightly more expensive, but are more effective in the long run.

By following these simple tips and doing some research you can easily find a skin care moisturizer cream to fit your needs, and help you get that “movie star” look and hold off the effects of Mother Nature for a few more years.

Hollywood truly is an exclusive club, a world unto it’s own. It’s a simple fact that celebrities and most of the people working in the entertainment industry are privy to beauty and health secrets the rest of the world are not. This is because they often travel to exotic places, have carte blanche access to the leaders and innovators in every beauty and health related field, and of course have almost unlimited financial resources to obtain the very best.

The latest and the very best of anything runs like lightening through Hollywood as fast as a cell phone call or a text message can be typed. Publicists, agents, stylists, make-up artists, costumers, nutritionists, acupuncturists, plastic surgeons and even masseuses are all part of an extremely powerful Hollywood network. They are the elite possessors of the ultimate knowledge in every beauty and health product available.

And once in awhile there will be a health or beauty item which garners a loud, consistent buzz, quickly peaking the interest of celebrities and all entertainment industry professionals. This usually occurs when a celebrity, or top professional “discovers” a product that really works. When this phenomenon occurs, the excitement becomes almost palatable. And a product or treatment only receives this type of attention when it rises to the top because of quality, effectiveness, sustainability and innovation. Mediocre products or fads simply never hold the interest of a community who are smart and demand the finest. And if you are fortunate enough to be the purveyor of this priceless new information it can mean the key that will usher you or your business into the inner sanctum of the rich and powerful. Being in the vortex of a marvelous new effective health or beauty aid, will at the very least open a multitude of previously locked doors and without question, boost your career several rungs up the golden ladder of success. So the hunt for one of these rare jewels is certainly a quest worthy of effort in Hollywood.

One such remarkable beauty and health product which has recently achieved this coveted status in Hollywood is called Aloeride®. The fundamental ingredient being that ancient beauty and health element, Aloe Vera. What makes this product from England so unique and the very best aloe vera derivative in the world, is the way in which the active ingredients are assimilated into their purest powder form. Many studies have proven that when Aloe Vera gel or liquid comes in contact with the air, it immediately begins a rapid bacterial degradation. This reduces the beauty and nutritional value almost as soon as the top is off the bottle. Not so with Aloeride®. The process by which Aloeride® is created and preserved in a small hypoallergenic capsule then blister foil wrapped, is the secret to it’s preservation and extreme effectiveness. In fact, it has been proven in extensive independent testing that Aloeride® delivers over three-hundred active molecules into your bloodstream, thus directly feeding rich nutrients to each and every cell of your body. It also contains remarkable properties which sooth and heal the intestinal lining, allowing the healthy food you eat to be absorbed and assimilated the way nature intended it. When nutrients are fed more cleanly into the body and individual cells, the body loses its desire to cling to toxins and fats to feed upon. Of course, this is a tremendous side-benefit for those needing to lose weight or keep their weight in check.

And don’t think Hollywood hasn’t discovered the beauty benefits of this amazing little capsule! At Aloeride® they have a skin philosophy: “Your skin is your natural calling card, which shows others how healthy and attractive you are…” And nowhere in the world is this truer than in the Entertainment and Modeling industries. And nowhere in the world is how you look so directly related to your income. And everyone who stands before the intense scrutiny of a camera knows the value of starting with naturally healthy, glowing skin. Bottom line is, Aloeride® is delivering on its promise to provide anti ageing elements, support weight loss and contribute to a very healthy digestive tract, which in turn enhances the healthy natural radiance of the skin. So what does Hollywood know about Health and Beauty that the rest of us don’t? Everything! And what is Hollywood absolutely buzzing about? Aloeride®! This is definitely a secret the rest of the world needs to be in on!

When taking your child out to play or for a walk, it is important to remember that the sun’s rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Sunscreens are designed to basically block the sun’s rays. The “Sun Protection Factor” (SPF) is a measure of how much protection the sunscreen offers. For example, an SPF of 30 means that a child can stay out in the sun 30 times longer than without the sunscreen. The recommended SPF is 15 (at the very least) and the sunscreen should be “broad-spectrum” (protects against both UV-A and UV-B light rays).

Sunscreens should be applied 30 minutes before sun exposure because it takes some time for them to work on the skin. Remember that even “waterproof” sunscreens need to be reapplied every two hours.

Make sure that all potentially exposed areas are covered including the nose, cheeks, tops of the ears and the shoulders. While putting sunscreen on the face, avoid the eyes. If the screen burns the eyes, try a new type or one that can be applied with a stick applicator.

Never use suntan oil, as it offers no protection and causes the skin to burn quicker. In addition, sunscreens that contain PABA should be avoided.

Sun rays can go through clouds and can cause damage even on cloudy days. In the shade, the sun’s rays can bounce from sand, concrete or snow, so keep that in mind as well. Sunglasses with UVA/B protection are also recommended.

Babies less than six months of age should be kept out of direct sunlight. Baby should be dressed in clothing that covers all of the body (long sleeves, long leg pants etc.). Put your baby in the shade( i.e…under a tree, stroller canopy etc.).

Hats or bonnets are also necessary, a baseball cap is the recommended head gear in order to protect the face. Also, tightly woven clothes offer better protection, than clothes with a wider weave.

If your child gets sunburn, keep him/her completely out of the sun until the burn is fully healed.
