NATURAL HAIR TREATMENTS Hair is probably the last organ to benefit from any nutritional boost, so it is necessary to nourish it not just from the inside out, but also from the outside in. Once a week (or twice if your hair is very damaged and brittle) give your hair an extra-nourishing oil treatment. You can also try a very simple scalp massage. It helps improve blood circulation and relieve tension, thus helping to nourish the hair follicles with fresh oxygen and nutrients. Scalp massage is especially beneficial if you suffer from a dry, flaking scalp; seborrhoea (a skin condition that makes your scalp itchy, red, and covered with pimples); or if you are concerned about hair loss. There are no set rules for scalp massage other than it should be done with firm pressing movements and last for three minutes or more. Rub, press, and glide your fingertips across your scalp and down to the temples, as long as it feels good and doesn’t scratch or pull your hair. Scalp massage, invokes an im...

Skin and hair are the last in the list of priorities when our body has access to very limited amount of ...

DEALING WITH DARK EYE CIRCLES Dark pigment under your eyes and thin skin that makes blood vessels more visible can be inherited. But it can also be a sign of an iron deficiency, blocked sinuses, hay fever, and plain ol’ dehydration. Too much junk food and not enough sleep or fresh air may also be to blame. After some research, studies have shown, that the use of iridescent eye brighteners and brightening eye drops increase on Monday mornings after weekend indulgences in fast food, late nights, and oxygen-lacking air in bars and restaurants. Here are some ideas that will chase your dark eye circles to the nearest exit: 1. If you strain your eyes a lot because of work or leisure, make sure to keep your blood sugar levels even. Nothing helps eyes more than regular healthy snacks of whole grain wheat breads and low-glycemic toppings such as tahini, guacamole, or soft low-fat cheese.  2. Cook homemade food at least three times a week. It’s not as hard as you think. In most cases, quick...

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 ...
