7 SIMPLE TIPS FOR SUPPLE AND GLOWING LIPS

SIMPLE TIPS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR LIPS SUPPLE AND GLOWING

Did you know that your lip gloss is a great-great-grandson of the first-ever cosmetic product created? Lip decorations with precious stones were used by women in Mesopotamia dating back to 3500 BC, while ancient Egyptians used seaweed and iodine to add color to their lips. Since the mid-1800s, most lipsticks were colored with lead-containing pigments, and this practice continues today despite numerous scientific studies dating back to the 1850s about dangerous effects of lead on human health.

Lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip balms are mainstays in any woman’s beauty stash, and they are thankfully easy to make at home. All you need is a chunk of a solid butter such as cocoa and a few drops of vegetable oil. You can also add a pinch of any mineral glitter to the melted cocoa butter to create your own custom-blended and absolutely natural lip color plus you do not risk swallowing any mineral oil, artificial dyes, phthalates, or lead-containing pigments found in many conventional lip products. You don’t need to suffer painless injections or spend untold time reapplying “volume-boosting” lip gloss that almost always has an acrid smell of synthetic mint. Here are some simple tips to keep your lips supple and glowing:

1. After cleansing your face, pour a little oil (olive, grapeseed, or jojoba) facial oil onto an old, clean toothbrush and gently polish your lips. Massage the remaining oil into the lip contour.

2. You can use castor seed oil as an overnight remedy for cracked, chapping lips. So is organic, unprocessed honey.

3. Rub your lips with the inside of a mango skin—and, of course, feel free to eat the flesh. Mango pulp contains vitamin C and exfoliating enzymes that gently dissolve dead skin cells. You can also try this trick to give your complexion a serious fruity peel.

4. Persistently dry, chapped lips can be due to dehydration or not enough essential fats in your diet, therefore drink sufficient amount of water to keep your lips hydrated .

5. Licking your lips can also leave them sore and chapped, so make sure you always wear a lip balm that is not scented with vanilla or fruity, foody scents. The yummier your lip product, the more prone you are to licking your lips subconsciously. You can try Oriflame’s variety of organic lip products.

6. Cracked lips and dry, peeling cuticles can also be a sign you are low in B vitamins. Take a supplement to get rid of the cracks quickly. Eat beans, peas, lentils, free-range unprocessed meat, and dairy. If your lips are naturally colorfula nd free from chapping or painful cracking, you probably won’t even need lip color.

7. You can also use lime to clean your lips at least once a week.

Your eyes are your window to the world

Simple tips on how to achieve stunning and beautiful eyes. They say that eyes are the windows to the soul, but your eyes can also speak volumes about your general health, your physical and mental well-being. We smile, laugh, and cry with our eyes. No wonder the most important human contact is called eye contact. Maybe that’s also the reason why eye creams often cost three times as much as facial creams? Our eyes cry for more care, and not necessarily in the form of cucumber slices after a heavy night out or yet another slick of eye cream in a desperate attempt to erase those lines. How can we expect our eyes to look bright and beautiful if we deprive them of the most important things required for their health: sleep and good humor? The skin surrounding our eyes is the most fragile on our bodies. Just as the rest of our face, the eye area is constantly withstanding the aging effects of the sun, pollution, smoke, and poor diet, but unlike our facial skin, this skin area has f ewer...

Face cleansers: what do I really need? (Basics for Natural Facial Cleansing)

Face cleansers: what do I really need? (Basics for Natural Facial Cleansing) Cleansing (morning and night for oily skin, just at bedtime for dry skin) and moisturizing (all skin types) are the basics of daily skincare, according to dermatologist Jeanette Jacknin, author of Smart Medicine for Your Skin and founder of the J.J.M.D. Botanical Dermatology skincare line. She says that soaps are generally too harsh and drying for facial skin, so use a non soap cleanser instead, preferably one that is pH balanced. Oily skin will need a toner after washing to control oil secretion, and then a moisturizer, while dry skin only needs the moisturizer. “Men’s skin is actually thicker, rougher, and more oily and sweaty than women’s skin,” notes Jacknin. “Also, men have the special challenges of a beard. So, while as a man you may borrow your wife’s or girlfriend’s lotion, you may also want to find a skincare line made especially for you.” The next two natural skincare routine are ...

HOW FOODS CONTAINING ANTIOXIDANTS CAN HELP REVERSE AGING

HOW FOODS CONTAINING ANTIOXIDANTS CAN HELP YOU REVERSE PREMATURE AGING When planning your shopping list, aim for antioxidants. Environmental pollutants, smoking, drinking, a nutritionally deficient diet, and excessive sun exposure all generate free radicals—oxygen molecules with one electron which allows them to hold firm every molecule available. As long as they can hold onto the molecule, the destruction by oxidation begins. When our bodies become oxidized too quickly, they begin to age prematurely, with all the unpleasant side effects that come along with that. Not only are antioxidants vitally important to ward off premature aging, they support your whole body’s functioning, which, in turn, brings a healthy glow that no bronzer is able to fake. Some of the most important dietary antioxidants are green tea polyphenol, curcumin, genistein from soy, resveratrol from grapes, and lycopene from tomatoes and carrots. When consumed regularly, they add to the mighty punch agai...
