Posted for Anti AgingBeautySkin Care On February 11, 2012
Our lifestyle influences the way our skin looks. Although many might think their skin is rugged, the truth of the matter is it’s delicate and needs tender loving care from the inside out. Our skin protects us from the outdoor elements and harsh environments, so in turn we need to renew it with better daily habits. Here are some tips to achieve better looking skin that everyone will envy. Skin Care Routine: It’s so important to have a daily skin care regimen which includes at least a cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. For those serious about keeping their skin youthful, it’s important to find the right skin care products for a particular skin type. Whether it’s anti-aging, acne fighting, dry skin, combination or normal skin, do locate the right product line for maximum results. Skin Care Heaven offers an array of top skin care inventory for all skin types. Be sure to check out our “heavenly deal of the day” for extra discount prices. Teaming up with a skin care professional is another great pathway, too. Wear Sunscreen Daily: Before you walk out the door, be sure to wear sunscreen. In fact, apply it about 15 to 20 minutes before going outside. UVA and UVB rays cause rapid premature skin aging, and even worse, skin cancer. Be it a bright sunny afternoon or an overcast day harmful rays will penetrate through and do its damage. This is why wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every day is so important. When purchasing a broad spectrum sunscreen, important ingredients to look for are:
Literally, sunscreen is one of the top defenders in any anti-aging skin care regimen. The sooner you start wearing it, the better your skin will be. Stop Smoking: While much research has touted the negative health issues of smoking, another area it can wreak havoc on is the skin. Smoking can fast forward fine lines and wrinkles, paleness, and grayish facial coloring. These side effects can add years to your face. Cigarette smoke changes the blood vessels in the skin causing them to shrink and slow down the blood flow. Ultimately, this leads to less oxygen. And nutrients such as vitamins A and C are unable to reach the upper skin layer. A breakdown in the skin will eventually happen sooner than later. Another reason to kick the habit is the damage to an enzyme which destroys collagen and elastin. Cigarette smoke will cause the skin to sag. Eat A Balanced Diet: Foods rich with antioxidants such as berries, tomatoes, and carrots are wonderful for the skin. Other great antioxidants to incorporate into a diet can also include:
Limit your alcohol and coffee intake since caffeine can dehydrate the skin which will help encourage fine lines and wrinkles. Water is good for the skin so keep track that you are drinking eight glasses a day. A healthy lifestyle is essential to feeling and looking young – and these simple steps can help anyone achieve that goal. Caring for Oily Skin

It glistens and it shines… It’s as greasy as its glossy! Yeah… I am talking about oily skin. Those who have it know it what goes into its care. It’s a losing battle against shine and grease on the face! So let me tell you some intricacies about oily skin and how to set it right! Overactive sebaceous glands! They are responsible for the increased production of sebum that further leads to oiliness of the skin. When sebaceous glands secrete more than normal amounts of oil, the skin pores stretch out and darken which then are called blackheads. Other deciding factors of oily skin are genetic make up, hormonal changes during adolescence, medications and use of certain unsuitable skin care products. Well… genetics and hormones are something you cannot do much about, but there are many other things that you can do at your end to ensure undue oiliness doesn’t reside on your skin. Here are some tips that you should keep in mind: • Use skin care products that are specially formulated for your particular skin type • Cleanse your face every morning and night so as to remove any dirt, impurities and make up residues. Do not cleanse more than twice a day as it will give way to skin dryness. Use mild water based cleansers that cleans the face but don’t irritate the skin. Avoid using cream based cleansers. • Wear a sunscreen with high SPF content of 30 or more throughout the day. Apply it at least 15-20 minutes before venturing out and reapply as and when required. • Follow an effective skin care regimen on daily basis and nourish your skin well. Jane Iredale Makeup Reviews

Sunscreen Isn’t Just For Summer
Posted for Anti AgingBeautyEye Care & Eye Make UPMoisturizersOily SkinSkin CareSun Tanning On January 23, 2012
Sunscreen just isn’t for hot summer days. It’s something that should be applied every single day of the year. Although it may be deceiving, about 80 percent of ultra violet rays still seep its way through overcast skies damaging skin and causing premature aging. Anytime someone is outdoors they are at risk for sun damage. And yes, that includes playing sports, gardening, or even just walking the dog. Don’t forget that the reflection of snow and sand also boosts the exposure to UV rays. In addition to premature aging, reports estimate that skin cancer is still a disease to contend with for both men and women. That’s why sunscreen is so important. Skin Care Heaven, an e-commerce store in Carlsbad offers an array of quality solar defense inventory. Here are some valuable tips into different ways of shielding your skin to keep it healthy and young looking. SUNSCREEN 101 Sun protection can be found in organic and non-organic formulas. On the shelves they come in gels, sprays, lotions, creams, sticks, and powder forms. The most important one to buy is a product that offers a broad spectrum which simply means it protects the user from UVA and UVB rays. Those who love using organic products will more than likely find the following ingredients:
For the most part, organic sunscreens are paraben and fragrance free. But check the labels to make sure. Because UVA and UVB sunscreen offer the best protection out there, double check that the vegetarian ingredients in the bottle offer it, as well. Non-organic sunscreen manufacturers not only offer sun protection but their ingredients may also include anti-aging and skin recovery ingredients like Dermalogica Age Smart Dynamic Skin Recovery does. And these days, sunscreens are non-greasy, absorb quickly and are featherweight. Even those with acne prone skin can find the perfect product that meet their skin care needs. Important ingredients to look for in these products are:
Last but not least, tinted moisturizers like Revision Skin Care have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 45. Avid users of tinted moisturizers love the light, natural coverage and oftentimes use it instead of a heavier foundation. Healthcare professionals recommend using a sunscreen with a SPF of 30 or higher and to consider a waterproof one, too. APPLICATION TIPS The best time to apply sunscreen is 15 to 30 minutes before going outside. And please don’t be stingy with it. The rule of thumb is a “shot-size” glass serving or more for an adult body. Research has shown that not enough people use sunscreen and remain unprotected. Don’t let the “long-lasting” words on the bottle think sunscreen is only applied once a day. A solar defense needs to be reapplied every two to three hours when outdoors. And if the product is not waterproof, it must be reapplied after sweating or following a swim. The most common places people forget to apply sunscreen are:
While sunscreen is one surefire way to keep skin looking youthful and healthy, add in some other skin saving tools like a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and retreat to shady areas whenever possible. The Shelf Life of Skin Care Products
Posted for AcneAnti AgingBeautyEye Care & Eye Make UPLip CareMoisturizersOily SkinSkin CareSkin Cleansers & Toners On January 23, 2012
Skin care products don’t have an expiration date. So, this makes things a bit tricky in figuring out when to toss out skin care products before they go bad. As chief officer of an online skin care product store, a producer of my own product line, and operation of a new day spa, it’s important to understand the potency of a product and when it’s time to pitch it. Our health always comes first. To keep track, some suggest writing a date on the packaging but so many of us forget to recheck it. Instead, a better way is to use your computer or cell phone calendar with “alarm” reminders for a 3, 6, 9 and 12 month checkup to see if it’s product trashcan time. While many think their products may last up to two years that really may not be the case on all types of skin care and beauty products. For example, if a cream or lotion product has turned thin or lumpy, chuck it. Other signs to watch out for are:
And anti aging products which contain antioxidants, retinol, and vitamins are always at a higher risk for a sooner expiration date. So be sure lids are replaced tightly. To keep bacterial contamination from happening, keep your fingers out of those containers. When bacteria gets in there, the product is ruined and there’s no turning back. A perfectly new skin care product can go bad instantly once bacteria invades it. Other helpful tips are:
Because there are no regulations and expiration dates, it’s really up to you to figure out when it’s time to part with your products. At first, it may feel like you are throwing away money, but in the end, you are saving your body from the threat of bacterial contamination. And no one wants to risk that. Remember, these products only last so long once that lid is officially unscrewed. Although moisturizers, serums, and creams tend to last 6 months to a year, some product ingredients can speed up the expiration date such as:
It’s important to point out that if you stick with your skin care routine and are mindful of bacterial contamination, chances are you’ll use up your product before it expires. |
