is perfect in curing acne by cleansing skin pores and it also doesn't allow
bacteria to grow on skin layer due to its anti bacterial properties. While waxy
part of honey helps kipping skin soft, smooth and glowing. You can apply pure
honey directly to your skin. Leave it for 15 to 20 minutes and rinse. Honey is
also rich with antioxidants so regular application of honey also makes the skin
look younger.<br />

adds fabulous glow on skin and enhance the texture to make it plain and even.
To prepare an easy facial mask with oatmeal, take 5 to 6 tablespoons of ground
oatmeal in a bowl and add water to make a thick and smooth paste. Spread the
mixture on the face evenly and let it dry. Rinse it with cold water. You can
also add milk instead of water to make your facial skin more nourished. This is
the best oatmeal mask recipe for oily skin people. If your skin is damaged due
to sunburn, it can be cured effectively with oatmeal mask.</div>

Make the most out of
your favorite fragrances by following these tips to making scents last.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Know What You're Wearing</u></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<div dir="ltr">
When it comes to fragrances, be the best chemist you can
be. There are a few details to know about fragrance chemistries when
you're trying to make the most out of a perfume's scent.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Primarily, there are countless names for fragrances that
you've probably heard of. The name of a fragrance will tell you the
concentration of each. For example, a body splash contains a
concentration of 1 percent fragrance, and the rest is water. Meanwhile,
an eau de toilette is 5-15 percent fragrance and a perfume is 20-30
percent. That being said, the spray with the highest concentration will
last the longest.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Another thing to consider with fragrances is the notes, or
the chemical makeup of each scent. It's not as tricky as you think --
there are top notes, middle notes, and base notes. Top notes are the
smallest molecules of a certain scent, middle notes are a little bigger
than those, and base notes are the aroma that is sure to last the
longest. When shopping for perfumes, pay attention to the notes as the
base notes are what you'll be stuck with for the long run (the long run
being all day). Not sure how to tell? Before you purchase, spray a
sample card in the store. Carry it around with you and notice how it
changes as the day goes on.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><u>Store Correctly</u></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Store fragrances in a cool and dry place, because humidity
does a great job of interacting with essential oils and making your
perfume go stale more quickly. Also, make sure that the cap is tightly
sealed on your bottle at all times. Leaving the cap off your perfume or
taking it off too frequently can lead to the oxidation of your
fragrance, which will either dull the scent or create an unpleasant
aroma.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><u>Apply After Showering</u></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The ideal time to put on perfume is when you're done
showering and moisturizing and your skin is dry. This is important
because perfume won't hold on to a perspiring body. Also, it's best to
do this before you get dressed so your scent doesn't get lost in the
fabric of your clothes.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">

<b><u>Spray Your Hairbrush</u></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Get a whiff with every hair flip by lightly spritzing your hairbrush with perfume before brushing your hair in the morning. <b>Here's a hint:</b> If you're using a blow-dryer, this trick will work even better because the heat from the <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=ms&q=http://www.homedepot.com/s/dryer&source=gmail&ust=1478968749129000&usg=AFQjCNHcSo6KSqSMbg-7mAYEzQOhIVBoCQ" href="http://www.homedepot.com/s/dryer" target="_blank">dryer</a> will
diffuse into your hair faster. Just make sure you don't apply the spray
directly to hair -- if the perfume is alcohol-based, you run the risk
of drying your hair out.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><u>Layer, Layer, Layer</u></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
This is key to the longevity of your scent throughout the
day. Using a soap, lotion, and perfume of the same scent will boost the
aroma for your skin to flaunt. Not only that, but moisturizing your skin
before applying a perfume will help lock in the scent. Just keep in
mind that moderation is key -- instead of spraying perfume directly onto
your skin, hold the bottle about ten inches away and spray for a
perfect intensity of scent.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b>Bring Your Scent with You</b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
Freshen up your perfume during the day without having to
lug the whole bottle in your purse. Spray a couple of cotton swabs with
your scent and stick them in a resealable baggie in your purse. When you
feel like you need a "spritz", simply take a swab and rub it behind
your ears and on the inside of your wrists.</div>

I found a bunch of Old wives tales that I put together.
I think a lot of them are great, and I can't wait to try some of
them. But keep in mind, they are tales, so some of them might not work
out. </div>
<div>
Enjoy these tips. I think they are a fun read.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="more"></a></div>
<div>
<b>1.</b> Take your bananas apart when you get home from the store. If you leave them connected at the stem, they ripen faster.</div>
<br />
<b>2</b>. If you are making gravy and accidentally burn it, just pour it
into a clean pan and continue cooking it. Add sugar a little at a time,
tasting as you go to avoid over-sugaring it. The sugar will cancel out
the burned taste.<br />
<br />
<b>3</b>. Store your opened chunks of cheese in aluminum foil. It will stay fresh much longer and not mold!<br />
<br />
<b>4.</b> When boiling eggs, add a pinch of salt to keep the shells from cracking.<br />
<br />
<b>5</b>. Burned a pot of rice? Just place a piece of white bread on top
of the rice for 5-10 minutes to draw out the burned flavor. Be careful
not to scrape the burned pieces off of the bottom of the pan when
serving the rice.<br />
<br />
<b>6</b>. Peppers with 3 bumps on the bottom are sweeter and better for
eating. Peppers with 4 bumps on the bottom are firmer and better for
cooking.<br />
<br />
<b>7</b>. Add a teaspoon of water when frying ground beef. It will help pull the grease away from the meat while cooking.<br />
<br />
<b>8</b>. To make scrambled eggs or omelets taste really rich, add a
couple of spoonfuls of sour cream, cream cheese, or heavy cream; then
beat together.<br />
<br />
<b>9</b>. Add garlic immediately to a recipe if you want a light taste, or at the end of the recipe if you want a stronger taste.<br />
<br />
<b>10</b>. Never put citrus fruits or tomatoes in the fridge. The low
temperatures degrade the aroma and flavor of these persnickety fruits.<br />
<br />
<b>11</b>. Re-heat leftover pizza in a nonstick skillet on top of the
stove; set heat to med-low and heat till warm. This keeps the crust
crispy. No soggy micro pizza. I saw this on the Food Network and it
really works.<br />
<br />
<b>12</b>. If you happen to over-salt a pot of soup, just drop in a peeled potato. The potato will absorb the excess salt.<br />
<br />
<b>13</b>. To make really easy deviled eggs with easy clean-up. Put
cooked egg yolks in a zip lock bag. Seal, mash till they are broken up.
Add remainder of ingredients, reseal, keep mashing it up mixing
thoroughly. Cut the tip of the baggy, squeeze mixture into egg white.
Just throw bag away when done.<br />
<br />
<b>14</b>. To warm biscuits, pancakes, or muffins that were
refrigerated, place a cup of water with them in a microwave. The
moisture will keep the food moist and help it reheat faster.<br />
<br />
<b>15</b>. Place a slice of bread into a bag of hard brown sugar. Within
a couple of days it will be soft again. A piece of an orange peel will
also work wonders.<br />
<br />
<b>16</b>. For cleaning smelly hands after chopping onions or garlic,
just rub them on a stainless steel spoon. The steel is supposed to
absorb the odor. Rubbing your hands with coffee beans or lemon works
well too.<br />
<br />
<b>17</b>. Before making popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, soak
the kernels in water for 10 minutes. Drain the water, then pop as
normal. The additional moisture helps the popcorn pop up quicker and
fluffier with fewer duds.<br />
<br />
<b>18</b>. To keep potatoes from budding in the bag, put an apple in with them.<br />
<br />
<b>19</b>. If you have over spiced your food, add in some lime juice while tasting it until it is the flavor you like.<br />
<br />
<b>20</b>. After boiling pasta or potatoes, cool the water and use it to
water your house plants. The water contains nutrients that your plants
will love.<br />
<br />
<b>21</b>. If you happen to have some leftover wine at the end of the
evening, (and don't plan to drink it the next night,) freeze it in ice
cube trays for easy addition to soups and sauces in the future.<br />
<br />
<b>22</b>. Don’t store your bananas in a bunch or in a fruit bowl with
other fruits. Separate your bananas and place each in a different
location. Bananas release gases which cause fruits (including other
bananas) to ripen quickly. Separating them will keep them fresh longer.<br />
<br />
<b>23</b>. If you are not sure how fresh your eggs are, place them in
about four inches of water. Eggs that stay on the bottom are fresh. If
only one end tips up, the egg is less fresh and should be used soon. If
it floats, it’s past the fresh stage.<br />
<br />
<b>24</b>. The substance in onions that causes your eyes to water is
located in the root cluster of the onion. Cut this part out in a cone
shape, with the largest part of the cone around the exterior root
section. Or, another good tip, chew gum while cutting.<br />
<br />
<b>25</b>. If your salt is clumping up, put a few grains of rice in with it to absorb excess moisture.<br />
<br />
<b>26</b>. To clean fruit stains off of your fingers, rub them with a fresh, peeled potato. White vinegar can also do the trick.<br />
<br />
<b>27</b>. Keep iceberg lettuce fresh and crisp in the fridge by
wrapping it in a clean, dry paper towel and storing lettuce and paper
towel in a sealed baggie in the fridge.<br />
<br />
<b>28</b>. If your loaf of bread is starting to go stale, just put a
piece of fresh celery in the bag and close it back up. For some reason,
this restores a fresh taste and texture to the bread.<br />
<br />
<b>29</b>. When making a soup, sauce, or casserole that ends up too
fatty or greasy, drop in an ice cube. The ice will attract the fat,
which you can then scoop out. A piece of bread works great too.<br />
<br />
<b>30</b>. Boil water before freezing it into ice cubes to make crystal clear cubes.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122120655248639003.post-68699547359924739552014-08-05T23:12:00.000-07:002014-08-05T23:12:00.416-07:00Cleaning House NaturallyCleaning house naturally is not any more difficult that cleaning it with harsh chemicals. It
improves indoor air quality and is much safer, especially for children.
We’ve switched entirely to natural cleaning products and our house is
just as clean (or cleaner) and I don’t have to worry about the kids
getting sick if they lick the floors (what, your kids don’t do that?) <img alt="icon smile 4 Natural Cleaning Recipes" class="wp-smiley" src="http://wellnessmama.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" title="4 Natural Cleaning Recipes" />
The other great thing about natural cleaning recipes is that it is
safe for kids to start helping with cleaning jobs at an earlier age.
I’ve found that 2-4 years is a great age to get them to really start
doing regular chores as they naturally want to help at this age!<br />
Here are a few easy and inexpensive natural cleaning recipes to use around the house:<br />
<br />
<b>1) Tile Grout Cleaner</b>-<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mix 1 part water and 3 parts
baking soda mixed into a paste. Apply to grout and let sit, scrub with
toothbrush, remove with sponge.</li>
</ul>
<b>2) Cookware</b>-<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Use sea salt or course salt mixed with a little lemon juice and scrub. Also, try baking soda and water made into a paste.</li>
</ul>
<b>3) Fabric Softener</b>-<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mix 1 part baking soda, 1 part vinegar, and 2 parts water together. Use 1/4 to 1/3 cup during the final rinse cycle.</li>
</ul>
<b>4) Toilet Cleaner</b>-<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Use undiluted white vinegar, pour around the top of the toilet bowl, scrub until clean.</li>
</ul>

bigger effect than many people realize. In fact, these two factors can
destroy health even if everything else (diet, supplements, etc.) is
optimized. Conversely, fixing hormones and gut bacteria can do a lot to
boost health, even if not all the other factors are optimal. In fact,
there are even <span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2012/jan2012_Using-Hormones-Heal-Traumatic-Brain-Injuries_01.htm" target="_blank">studies about using certain hormone reactions</a></span> to heal brain trauma.<br />
If you doubt the very real power of hormones to affect everything
from mood, to weight, to bowel health – ask the nearest pregnant woman
if she’s noticed any difference in these areas since being pregnant. Or
ask the nearest 13 year old girl… carefully…<br />
If you have symptoms like fatigue, skin issues, weight gain, weight
around the middle, trouble sleeping, always sleeping, PMS,
endometriosis, infertility, PCOS or other issues, chances are you have
hormone imbalance!<br />
<h2>
What are Hormones?</h2>
“Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers. They travel in your
bloodstream to tissues or organs. They work slowly, over time, and
affect many different processes, including<br />
<ul>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Growth and development</li>
<li>
Metabolism – how your body gets energy from the foods you eat</li>
<li>Sexual function</li>
<li>Reproduction</li>
<li>Mood</li>
</ul>
<ul>
</ul>
Endocrine glands, which are special groups of cells, make hormones.
The major endocrine glands are the pituitary, pineal, thymus, thyroid,
adrenal glands and pancreas. In addition, men produce hormones in their
testes and women produce them in their ovaries” (<a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/hormones.html" target="_blank">source</a>).<br />
Hormones are produced using good fats and cholesterol, so lack of
these important dietary factors can cause hormone problems simply
because the body doesn’t have the building blocks to make them. Toxins
containing chemicals that mimic these building blocks or that mimic the
hormones themselves are also problematic because the body can attempt to
create hormones using the wrong building blocks… mutant estrogen
anyone?<br />
The endocrine system is a complex system that we will probably never
completely understand, but there are some basic things you can do to
boost your body’s ability to create and balance hormones:<br />
<h2>
1. Avoid High Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fats</h2>
I’ve <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/2193/why-you-should-never-eat-vegetable-oil-or-margarine/" target="_blank">talked about this before</a>, but the body is simply not meant to consume these man-made fats found in vegetable oils. From that article:<br />
<i>“The human body is about 97% saturated and monounsaturated fat,
with only 3 % Polyunsaturated fats. Half of that three percent is
Omega-3 fats, and that balance needs to be there. Vegetable oils contain
very high levels of polyunsaturated fats, and these oils have replaced
many of the saturated fats in our diets since the 1950s.</i><br />
<i>The body needs fats for rebuilding cells and hormone production,
but it has to use the building blocks we give it. When we give it a high
concentration of polyunsaturated fats instead of the ratios it needs,
it has no choice but to incorporate these fats into our cells during
cell repair and creation.</i><br />
<i>The problem is that polyunsaturated fats are highly unstable and
oxidize easily in the body (if they haven’t already oxidized during
processing or by light exposure while sitting on the grocery store
shelf). These oxidized fats cause inflammation and mutation in cells.</i><br />
<i>In arterial cells, these mutations cause inflammation that can
clog arteries. When these fats are incorporated into skin cells, their
mutation causes skin cancer. (This is why people often get the most
dangerous forms of skin cancer in places where they are never exposed to
the sun, but that is a topic for another day!)</i><br />
<i>When these oils are incorporated into cells in reproductive
tissue, some evidence suggests that this can spur problems like
endometriosis and PCOS. In short, the body is made up of saturated and
monounsaturated fats, and it needs these for optimal health.”</i><br />
Bottom line: Don’t eat fats like Vegetable oil, peanut oil, canola
oil, soybean oil, margarine, shortening, or other chemically altered
fats. Choose fats like <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/tropical-traditions" target="_blank" title="coconut oil">coconut oil</a>,
real butter, olive oil (don’t heat!) and animal fats (tallow, lard)
from healthy sources instead and eat lots of high Omega-3 fish.<br />
<h2>
2. Limit the Caffeine</h2>
I love coffee, a lot, but the truth is that too much caffeine can
wreak havoc on the endocrine system, especially if there are other
hormone stressors involved too like pregnancy, presence of toxins,
beneficial fat imbalance or stress.<br />
Cut down the coffee if you can, or replace with beneficial herbal
teas (a list of my favorite recipes coming soon!). If you can’t or won’t
cut the coffee, use it as a way to sneak in your beneficial fats by
adding 1 tablespoon coconut oil to each cup and blending in the blender
to emulsify. It is like a latte but with healthy fats! <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/5673/the-only-way-i-drink-coffee/" target="_blank">Here is the recipe I use and the only way I drink coffee</a>.<br />
<h2>
3. Avoid Toxins</h2>
Toxins found in pesticides, plastics, household chemicals, and even
mattresses can contain hormone disrupting chemicals that mimic hormones
in the body and keep the body from producing real hormones. Things like<a href="http://wellnessmama.com/8396/natural-alternatives-to-hormonal-contraceptives/" target="_blank"> hormonal birth control</a> can (obviously) do the same thing.<br />
If you have hormone imbalance or are struggling to get pregnant,
avoiding these toxins is very important! Cook in glass or non-coated
metal pans (no non-stick or teflon!) and avoid heating or storing foods
in plastic. Find organic produce and meat whenever possible and don’t
use chemical pesticides or cleaners. There are recipes for natural
cleaners <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/wellness-101/" target="_blank">on this page</a>.<br />
<h2>
4. SLEEP</h2>
Can’t emphasize this one enough (tried with the all-caps-yelling
though)! If you aren’t getting enough sleep, your hormone will not be
balanced. Period.<br />
Use <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/4936/how-to-improve-sleep-naturally/" target="_blank">these tips to help improve your sleep</a>
and just do it! This can singlehandedly improve hormones and is even
linked to longer life, less chance of disease and optimizing weight.<br />
<h2>
5. Supplement Wisely</h2>
In a perfect world, we would be rising and sleeping with the sun,
getting Vitamin D from the sun and Magnesium from the ocean while
relaxing and exercising in great balance each day in a stress-free
world. Since I doubt that describes any of us currently, supplements can
fill in the gaps. I’ve talked about the <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/3838/should-i-take-supplements/" target="_blank">basic supplements that I take</a> before, but there are some specific ones that are helpful for hormone support.<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/maca/" target="_blank">Maca</a>-
A tuber in the radish family that has a history of boosting hormone
production and libido. Many women notice less PMS, increased fertility,
and improved skin while men notice increased sperm production, libido,
and better sleep. Maca is also high in minerals and essential fatty
acids, making it great for hormones. It is available in <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/maca/" target="_blank">powder form</a> (least expensive option) or in <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/maca/" target="_blank">capsules</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://wellnessmama.com/3610/are-you-low-on-magnesium/" target="_blank">Magnesium</a>-
Magnesium supports hundreds of reactions in the body and often
contributes to better sleep (which is great for hormones!). There are
several effective forms of Magnesium: In <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WVY4PE/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000WVY4PEherbkati-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">powder form with a product like Natural Calm</a> so that you can vary your dose and work up slowly, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001G7QJMY/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001G7QJMYherbkati-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> ionic liquid form</a> can be added to food and drinks and dose can be worked up slowly,or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AD0HL8/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001AD0HL8herbkati-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">transdermal form by using Magnesium oil</a> applied to skin. This is often the most effective option for those with damaged digestive tract or severe deficiency.</li>
<li>Vitamin D- A pre-hormone is supportive of hormone function. Best <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/699/vitamin-d/" target="_blank">obtained from the sun</a> if possible, or from a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000A0LE6O/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B000A0LE6O" target="_blank">D3 supplement</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002LZYPS0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B002LZYPS0" target="_blank">Fermented Cod Liver Oil</a>.</li>
<li><a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/fclo/" target="_blank">Fermented Cod Liver Oil</a>-
Provides many of the necessary building blocks for hormone production
including Vitamins A, D, and K. It also is a great source of Omega-3s
and beneficial fats.</li>
<li><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ELLBJS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ELLBJS" target="_blank">Gelatin</a>
is a great source of calcium, magnesium and phosphate. It supports
hormone production and digestive health and helps sooth inflammation,
especially in joints. We use <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001ELLBJS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=herbkati-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001ELLBJSherbkati-20" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Lakes Kosher</a> as
I was able to verify with the company that it is sourced from
grass-fed, humanely raised cows, and as such is higher in nutrients.</li>
</ul>
<h2>
6. Exercise Lightly</h2>
If you have hormone imbalance, intense extended exercise can actually
make the problem worse in the short term. Sleep is actually more
important, at least during the balancing phase, so focus on relaxing
exercises like walking or swimming and avoid the extended running,
cardio, and exercise videos, for now….<br />
<h2>
7. Lift Heavy Weights</h2>
While extended cardio can be bad, short bursts of heavy lifting
(kettlebells, deadlifts, squats, lunges) can be beneficial since they
trigger a cascade of beneficial hormone reactions. Aim for a few sets
(5-7) at a weight that really challenges you, but make sure to get help
with form and training if you haven’t done these before as bad form can
be harmful!<br />
<h2>
8. Eat Some Coconut Oil</h2>
<a href="http://wellnessmama.com/2072/the-many-benefits-of-coconut-oil/" target="_blank">Coconut Oil</a>
is amazing for hormone health. It provides the necessary building
blocks for hormone production, can assist weight loss, reduce
inflammation, and even has antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.<br />
If you really need hormone help, aim to consume 1/4 cup of added coconut oil a day. My favorite way is to <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/5673/the-only-way-i-drink-coffee/" target="_blank">blend into coffee</a> or tea. <a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/tropical-traditions/" target="_blank">This is the highest quality one I’ve found</a>.<br />
<h2>
9. Fix Your Leptin</h2>
<a href="http://wellnessmama.com/go/tropical-traditions/" target="_blank">Leptin is a master hormone</a>,
and if it is out of balance or if you are resistant to it, no other
hormones will balance well. Fixing leptin will also help boost
fertility, make weight loss easier, improve sleep, and lower
inflammation.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122120655248639003.post-47626970969345744762014-08-02T22:55:00.000-07:002014-08-02T22:55:00.398-07:0010 Common Beauty Products You Shouldn’t Be Putting On Your Skin<div id="post-title" style="text-align: left;">

could be at higher risk. See the study <a href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn4587-deodorants-plus-shaving-linked-to-breast-cancer.html">here</a> and <a href="http://terranaturals.com/pdf/mcgrath_full.pdf">here</a>.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-size: small;">There are certain items, even against
popular belief, that should not be stored in the refrigerator. By
refrigerating many items, the flavor can be lessened or change the
texture, and in some cases, even make it spoil faster because of
condensation from the refrigerator. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: small;">I am all about how to store food so that
it lasts as long as possible. There is nothing that I hate more than
throwing away good food that just didn't last as long as it should and
wasting money. </span><br />

refrigerator dries out bread very quickly. Keep what you will eat
within 4 days in a dry pantry at room temperature and freeze the rest. </span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

kills the flavor of tomatoes and causes them to be mealy. Keep them out
of plastic bags. To ripen faster store in paper bag. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

it in order to avoid browning that occurs when the flesh is exposed to

to me, you should not refrigerate or freeze coffee because it causes

the flavor and actually cause mold. Store loose and once head is broken
should use within 10 days. However, you can put minced garlic in the
fridge as long as used as soon as possible. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<br />
Pimples, blemishes and acne are the most universal skin care complaints and can be a huge source of embarrassment. Contrary to common belief, this problem is not exclusive to teens and adolescents. Adults often experience acne problems after years of clear skin.<br />
<br />
Treatment of pimples is somewhat tricky. While there's no quick cure for those unsightly blemishes, putting a stop to major breakouts will greatly reduce your discomfort and chance of scarring.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">Prevention</span></span><br />
<br />
Keep your face clean and don't overscrub it. This will only irritate your skin and make you more prone to breakouts. Wash your face twice a day with antibacterial soap, three times a day for acne prone skin. To avoid aggravating pimples, stay away from harsh soaps and fragrances.<br />
<br />
To avoid transferring bacteria and germs, clean your pillowcase, washcloths, towels, make-up brushes and applicators frequently. Try washing your make-up applicators in antibacterial soap or clarifying shampoo. Keep your hair clean and out of your face. Along the same line, keep your phone mouthpiece and writing instruments away from your chin and clean them often.<br />
<br />
Avoid wearing heavy make-up and always wash it off before going to bed. Buy make-up specifically designed for your skin type and throw it away after it's expiration date.<br />
<br />
Wash your hands frequently and make a conscious effort to avoid touching your face during the daytime hours. This is when you're most likely to do it and you may not realize that it's a habit.<br />
<br />
Any correlation to diet and blemishes is a myth. There is no proof that greasy food and sugar will cause your skin to break out, however too much junk food can lead to health problems down the road -- so keep your diet healthy.<br />
<br />
It's best to keep your anxiety level down and get your beauty rest. When you're under stress, do not neglect your skin care routine. Take the time for preventive maintenance or your pimples will return with a vengeance.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #000099; font-weight: bold;">Stopping Pimples and Blemishes</span><br />
<br />
Acne prone people are still going to experience pimples and blemishes, even after the best skin care routine. After they appear, knowing how to get rid of them quickly and sensibly reduces your chance of scarring.<br />
<br />
Use the preventive maintenance above, along with some pimple drying techniques to shorten the life of your blemishes and breakouts.<br />
<br />
If your skin is oily, use an over the counter cleanser that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to start the drying process. If you're experiencing one of those painful "under the skin, cystic" pimples, put a warm compress on it to drain it first, then dry it up with benzoyl peroxide. Sometimes putting a small piece of tape on your blemish overnight will help draw out the fluid and infection.<br />
<br />
Another overnight home remedy for zapping a zit is to put a dab of toothpaste on it to help dry it out. You may need to test this on a short-term basis to make sure it doesn't irritate your pimple. Calamine lotion will have the same drying effect.<br />
<br />
It's not recommended to squeeze a pimple, but the jury is still out. While doing this makes you more prone to scarring and skin discolorations, sometimes it's the only fast way to drain it. If you're at the point where you feel the need to squeeze, consult your dermatologist for treatment.<br />
<br />
If blemishes persist, scarring needs to be prevented and there are many useful products to put a stop to recurring acne and pimples. If your blemish is gone and you have some discoloration but no scar, don't fret. Chances are, it will fade with time.<br />
<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: #ff99ff; font-weight: bold;">Makeup Advice</span></span><br />
When it comes to cosmetics, makeup is the the fun part. Applying makeup is a learned art. Start by putting on foundation with a sponge, blending it from the center, outwards, into the hairline and neck. Cover your eyelids and lips as well for solid base. You can set your foundation with loose powder and a large cosmetics brush.<br />
<br />
Apply eye shadow to enhance your eyes. Three shades are ideal to shape and define with the darkest color on the lid and the lightest just beneath the brow bone. Mascara lengthens lashes provides fullness.<br />
<br />
Blush adds color to cheeks and a youthful glow to your nose forehead and chin. Bronzing powder can double as blush and can be used for shading or hide a double-chin. Blend in well for a more natural look.<br />
<br />
Define luscious lips with a lip liner similar to your own lip color or one that matches the color of your lipstick. To create fullness, dust on some white eye shadow to the center of your bottom lip. Keep lips moisturized at night with lip balm or traditional petroleum jelly. In the sunlight, use balm with a SPF to block the sun's dangerous rays from damaging your precious puckers.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122120655248639003.post-44947834426994394232013-06-14T11:14:00.000-07:002013-06-14T11:14:41.178-07:00How to get Rid Of Mice<span style="font-size: medium;">To get rid of mice, many people wish to repel and
drive out critters before clearing away traps, locating dead carcasses
hidden in walls, and shelling out the money to hire an exterminator. If
you are looking for home remedies to get rid of mice, i will give you all's the
following suggestions maybe one will suite your needs:</span><br />
<br />
<h3>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmFJWpyFt2h7HxwdPtyClj2UHuJZzKB2szNHJWrC5S9HlCh5iDXd6m9AApQJUFVPy-SIYWCW80HqUKL8VvLH0x65uWUdw-c6dvBofwQMooh-k2xponf5ewTRe6MbCxM4qoUo78OFntI4/s1600/Mice.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSmFJWpyFt2h7HxwdPtyClj2UHuJZzKB2szNHJWrC5S9HlCh5iDXd6m9AApQJUFVPy-SIYWCW80HqUKL8VvLH0x65uWUdw-c6dvBofwQMooh-k2xponf5ewTRe6MbCxM4qoUo78OFntI4/s320/Mice.JPG" width="320" /></a></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Peppermint and Peppermint Oil:</span></h3>
<span style="font-size: medium;">
</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> Soak a cotton
ball in the Peppermint</span><span style="font-size: medium;"> oil and place it at a suspected entryway. If you are already battling a mice problem, sprinkle mint leaves in the
parts of your home that the mice like to frequent. Mint is known to
repel mice in most cases, but you must remember to replace old leaves
with fresh ones on a regular basis.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: medium;">Sprinkle some Chamomile leaves around your kitchen or garage ..mice hate the smell and they will disappear </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Some people have been successful in keeping mice away by sprinkling Bay leaves in their kitchen.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"> If you place Mothballs around your garage, mice will look for other
places to live. In the house, mothballs are used to deter mice from
kitchen cupboards, drawers, and other storage spots.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"> Are you looking for an effective bait to lure your unwanted visitor? The
next time you lay traps, use Peanut butter as bait – a treat that a
mouse cannot resist. Since the peanut butter is sticky, he or she is
unable to swipe it before setting off a trap</span><br />

<br />
TIPS:<br />There's nothing like a bowl of homemade ice cream with its cold, creamy
texture balanced with that fresh taste. If you crave making your own
homemade ice cream all you need is a good ice cream freezer, a great
recipe, the best ingredients and these tips.<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Be familiar with the directions of your ice cream maker prior to choosing a recipe.</b></li>
<li><b>Make sure ice cream base is cold before putting it in the machine.</b> Refrigerating overnight is preferred, but at least an hour or two will suffice. </li>
<li><b>Chill ice cream machine bowl and dashers/beaters prior to adding the ice cream base.</b> This depends on your ice cream machine model and make.</li>
<li><b>Only fill ice cream container 3/4 full.</b> Air is incorporated while mixing the ice cream base and it will rise to the top of the container.</li>
<li><b>Fruit should be ripe prior to adding it to the ice cream base.</b>
Puree or mash at least half, if not all of the fruit, for a deeper
fruit flavor. Adding a little fruit extract will also enhance the
flavor.</li>
<li><b>Additives such as chocolate, cookies, whole fruit and/or nuts
should be in small chunks and pre-frozen before adding to ice cream.</b></li>
<li><b>Don't add those ingredients until the very end of mixing.</b>
This keeps them from sinking to the bottom of the container. Mixing by
hand prior to putting in the proper freezer container is preferred.</li>
<li><b>Pre-chill or freeze container to be used for ice cream.</b></li>
<li><b>Place ice cream in freezer for a couple of hours prior to serving, if possible.</b></li>
<li><b>Allow the ice cream to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes prior to serving.</b> Serve your ice cream in chilled bowls, preferably glass.</li>

Here are a few tips on how you can be a better parent to your child:<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTaxcirQI-GbfY6yGBL6HT7n4Z_hx4KL4YYqnFrBEcRLEHDZkoMC4Cxw_QGsxOyxta0h9uM-74kGocCVntKf-HdwuKbKPPaLr6BhRG_CjgJ7mgUAw9jbXSt-9H69mtgKnYcMCroEp50c/s1600-h/2c6debd2-2ed1-4acb-ae66-60c54f4aee58.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 226px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmTaxcirQI-GbfY6yGBL6HT7n4Z_hx4KL4YYqnFrBEcRLEHDZkoMC4Cxw_QGsxOyxta0h9uM-74kGocCVntKf-HdwuKbKPPaLr6BhRG_CjgJ7mgUAw9jbXSt-9H69mtgKnYcMCroEp50c/s320/2c6debd2-2ed1-4acb-ae66-60c54f4aee58.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399857449352108530" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Respect and value your child:</span><br /><br />Always respect your children -- respect and listen to their views and values, their opinions. Give them your complete attention when they want to talk to you. Put whatever activity you are engaged in on hold, and if that's not possible, set a time for when you can chat, and make sure to stick to it.<br /><br />Encourage your children every opportunity you get. Make them feel special and express your love for them often. Hug them, kiss them and say 'I love you' everyday, not just when they are young but also as they grow older. Let them feel your love and affection as often as you can.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Talk to your kids</span>:<br /><br />Conversing with children is the best way to influence their ability and love for learning. Children who are spoken to often as infants will understand more words when they are toddlers and pre-schoolers than others. Communication also strengthens the mother-child bond and eases out the communication barriers, even as kids grow older.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Have fun with them:</span><br /><br />Mothers are so busy with their day-to-day routines that they forget to have fun with their children. Take out one-on-one time to enjoy with your child. Do something that both of you like -- indulge in outdoor games, art and craft, board games, go for a walk, chat, cook -- do anything at all that makes you feel good. Laugh together, tickle each other, dance, sing songs, just have FUN!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Read to your little ones:</span><br /><br />Reading to your children is the best way to inculcate a reading habit in them, which leads to a love of learning as they grow older. Reading also creates an emotional bond between parent and the child, whether it's lap-time reading, bedtime reading or any other way of doing it that you both enjoy. Moreover, it develops their imagination, creativity, vocabulary and communication skills.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNRwBG8vaiAM-mdYNxBUGweOuZC1gPgOf4W9wOvs0n3GyeYf9MjCiw98S-2NsqrMd_hsN6nODUDOy0uGkiGLscHWfC5Da2GUTtsJ19H6fOY_-Mahngap0-y-CdUKpUqwefG5cldJYXc0/s1600-h/1PIC.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuNRwBG8vaiAM-mdYNxBUGweOuZC1gPgOf4W9wOvs0n3GyeYf9MjCiw98S-2NsqrMd_hsN6nODUDOy0uGkiGLscHWfC5Da2GUTtsJ19H6fOY_-Mahngap0-y-CdUKpUqwefG5cldJYXc0/s320/1PIC.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399858037490987938" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep your children safe:</span><br /><br />All parents want to keep their kids safe. Remember to take the necessary precautions, whether it is making them sit in the backseat of the car while driving, or making sure that there is someone responsible with them at all times. Make sure your home is childproof, with electrical outlets out of reach, furniture edges rounded off, glass items out of the way etc.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Teach your children values:</span><br /><br />Make sure to impart good values to your kids -- it's the best gift you'll ever give them. Values are the foundation of a child's character. Teach your children values through everyday interactions, stories and by the way you conduct yourself. While story-telling, however, make sure you don't connect the story to the child. If, for example, you want to teach your little one about honesty, tell him/ her interesting stories related to it. Do not say, "You should behave in the same manner as so-and-so did and always tell the truth" -- the message will not sink in. To a youngster, this feels like nagging and moralizing, which will go in one ear and out the other.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Be a good role model:</span><br /><br />Remember that your kids are watching you all the time and want to ape you in every possible way. Even very young children take in and listen to everything their parents say and do, so remain aware of your actions and behavior around them. For example, if you talk rudely to the domestic help, you will not be very successful in teaching your children the value of politeness. Model the behavior that you want them to develop.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep your kids healthy, but allow them their personal likes and dislikes when it comes to food:</span><br /><br />Provide nutritious meals for your children, but allow them to make their own choices about what they like or don't like. As long as you are providing them with nutritious options and not junk food, they will almost always make the right choices. With young children, try and be creative with their meals, so that it's fun for them. If, for instance, there is cooked vegetable and chapattis for dinner, fold some cooked veggies into each chapatti so that the kids can enjoy it as a roll.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Set rules and limits:</span><br /><br />A good mother is firm and flexible. Don't leave discipline only to a child's father. Set reasonable rules and limits and discuss them with your kids beforehand. Follow through with the consequences whenever applicable. However, there are times when you have to be flexible and ease the rules; times when youngsters are tired, sleepy, hungry or not well.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Be just and fair:</span><br /><br />Treat all your children in the same manner. However, don't try to be overly fair, as it will get in the way -- for example, if you are out shopping and spot a book that one of your kids needs for a reference project, you do not necessarily have to buy something for the other child. Similarly, bring the other child what he/ she requires when it's needed. As long as you are providing for both of them equally, they will understand and not make an issue. When you try to be overly fair, children tend to find faults with every little thing you do.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Don't interfere in your children's fights unless it's necessary:</span><br /><br />Allow your kids to settle issues on their own. As long as there is no bullying or physical violence, do not get involved in their fights. When you try to resolve their disputes, you will be required to take sides and this will not go down well with one of them. It is better to allow children to handle their own problems as far as possible. If they are not able to do it, or you feel like the situation is getting to you, ask them to play separately till they are able to be civil to each other and find a solution. You will be doing them a favor by teaching them the values of co-operation, problem-solving and compromise in the process.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdiJfuAv8tIZd3nA6u7CdcpImpelwfAqyKoDnV7Ap2MvqDSYBv9Ze74yGRczmkEsEbL2IKhhrwJSZNDogXgU82R8pwAgkRbf4YX3l6ZVNRiBl5EnnRSVoYsWkrmwFk11N7nCmqQA_4CiY/s1600-h/0272.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdiJfuAv8tIZd3nA6u7CdcpImpelwfAqyKoDnV7Ap2MvqDSYBv9Ze74yGRczmkEsEbL2IKhhrwJSZNDogXgU82R8pwAgkRbf4YX3l6ZVNRiBl5EnnRSVoYsWkrmwFk11N7nCmqQA_4CiY/s320/0272.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399858554183719458" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Honor their father:</span><br /><br />One of the best things a mother can do is Honor her children's father in front of them. Even if you are separated or divorced, never speak ill about your spouse in front of your children. Talk about him with respect and teach your children to respect him too.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Get the kids to interact with extended family:</span><br /><br />Get your children to bond with extended family -- uncles, aunts, cousins. Make an effort so that they interact with both the maternal and paternal sides. Even if you don't get along with your in-laws, teach your children to respect their grandparents. They will hold you in higher esteem for doing that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Keep your self-respect intact:</span><br /><br />Always expect to be treated with respect by others in the presence of your kids and by your kids themselves. Do not allow anyone to cross a line. Maintain your dignity under all circumstances; be honest and keep your integrity intact always.<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Take care of yourself</span>:<br /><br />Sleep well and take out time for yourself. Keep yourself in good health.

Prepare the hair for shampooing.<br />2. Before wetting your hair for shampooing, comb through with a wide toothed comb to prevent tangles.<br />3. Mix and adjust the water flow.<br />4. Mix the water to a comfortable temperature.<br />5. Wet the hair and scalp thoroughly.<br />6. Apply the shampoo to the hair by first pouring it into your hand and never directly.<br />7. Apply with the hands and fingers, massage firmly in rotating and circular movements.<br />8. Massage the whole head.<br />9. Rinse the hair and scalp thoroughly and carefully.<br />10. Apply more shampoo and massage for the second time if needed, finally rinse all shampoo from the hair and scalp with clean water.<br />11. Finally check the hair lines and make sure that the dirt and shampoo has been removed from hair and scalp.<br />12. Dry the hair gently.<br />13. Don't rub just blot the wet hair with a towel and then smooth the towel along the length of your hair.<br />14. Avoid blow drying as far as possible.<br />15. If you shampoo regularly there is no need to lather twice.<br /><br /></span><div id="I699" style="display: block;font-family:verdana;" class="Text_Default"><div id="I699_sys_txt" class="sys_txt" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-family: georgia;font-size:180%;" >Clarifying shampoo – what's the deal?<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>One of the first things other people notice when meeting you is your hair and as we all know, first impressions can be very important. If your hair is limp or extra dry, there is no way you can put forth a positive first impression. Over time, build up from daily shampooing and conditioning can make your hair seem dull. This constant product deposit in your hair can also cause it to become dry and lifeless. A great solution for keeping your hair in optimal shape is the use of a clarifying shampoo.</span><br /></div><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />A clarifying shampoo removes deposit build up without over drying your hair. This allows the natural oils of your hair to replenish moisture. When using a clarifying shampoo it is important to remember to only use it once weekly. Over usage of a clarifying shampoo can strip your hair of those natural oils mentioned above. This can over dry your hair and make it brittle and prone to breakage. By using a clarifying shampoo only once weekly you will be removing shampoo and conditioner build up without damaging your hair.</span><span style="font-size:130%;">Of course, product build up is only one issue concerning hair that a lot of people worry about. My fine curly hair can be extremely dry. </span></div></div><div id="I420" style="display: block;font-family:verdana;" class="Text_Default"><div id="I420_sys_txt" class="sys_txt" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"><div id="articlesleft"> <span style="font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span>When it gets very dry it tends to break or splinter at the ends. The best way I have found to combat dry hair is the use of Curly Hair Solutions silk shampoo. The rich and moisturizing formula is gentle, but delivers the proper amount of hydration to my hair. Through the use of silk amino acids, silk shampoo strengthens my hair, but doesn’t weigh it down. Curly Hair Solutions silk shampoo is also wonderful for combating frizz during the summer months or any humid day. When used in combination with clarifying shampoo, silk shampoo makes my hair soft, supple and shiny. In fact, my hair has never had such life and is never frizzy.<br /><br />Clarifying shampoo can give renewed life to limp, dull hair. It strips away unwanted chemicals that have built up in hair over time. If used with a silk protein hair product like Curly Hair Solutions silk shampoo, you will never be unhappy with the look or feel of your hair again. With a luxurious and stunning mane, you are sure to turn heads. Make the most of your hair by using the proper products.<br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);font-size:100%;" ><br />More tips at:<br />http://myhairworld.info/hair-care-shampoo-tips-and-guidelines.php</span><br /></span></div></div></div><br /></div></div></td></tr></tbody></table>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4122120655248639003.post-33642382580848534392009-03-23T05:56:00.000-07:002009-03-23T06:12:53.107-07:00How To Get Rid Of Pimples And Blemishes<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7jIV8y72kXJgAYYfNOimr6tA915uQWlURDQ720DTaXxGgysk4RkK5noxNejjog_xVsut_pCr4vSSd9kLc9QjJtBLsR5Uvr64CTO22DLxf_zQNCIH7pwuEksxYaTza-lTgi0x3Dkm8wo/s1600-h/2a2c1f2c-f4b7-4788-809d-2d2cbcbab39b.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs7jIV8y72kXJgAYYfNOimr6tA915uQWlURDQ720DTaXxGgysk4RkK5noxNejjog_xVsut_pCr4vSSd9kLc9QjJtBLsR5Uvr64CTO22DLxf_zQNCIH7pwuEksxYaTza-lTgi0x3Dkm8wo/s400/2a2c1f2c-f4b7-4788-809d-2d2cbcbab39b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316369115771498354" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);font-family:arial;" > </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">Pimples, blemishes and acne are the most universal skin care complaints and can be a huge source of embarrassment.</span> Contrary to common belief, this problem is not exclusive to teens and adolescents. Adults often experience acne problems after years of clear skin.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Treatment of pimples is somewhat tricky. While there's no quick cure for those unsightly blemishes, putting a stop to major breakouts will greatly reduce your discomfort and chance of scarring.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><br />Prevention</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Keep your face clean and don't overscrub it. This will only irritate your skin and make you more prone to breakouts. Wash your face twice a day with antibacterial soap, three times a day for acne prone skin. To avoid aggravating pimples, stay away from harsh soaps and fragrances.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">To avoid transferring bacteria and germs, clean your pillowcase, washcloths, towels, make-up brushes and applicators frequently. Try washing your make-up applicators in antibacterial soap or clarifying shampoo. Keep your hair clean and out of your face. Along the same line, keep your phone mouthpiece and writing instruments away from your chin and clean them often.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Avoid wearing heavy make-up and always wash it off before going to bed. Buy make-up specifically designed for your skin type and throw it away after it's expiration date.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Wash your hands frequently and make a conscious effort to avoid touching your face during the daytime hours. This is when you're most likely to do it and you may not realize that it's a habit.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">Any correlation to diet and blemishes is a myth. There is no proof that greasy food and sugar will cause your skin to break out, however too much junk food can lead to health problems down the road -- so keep your diet healthy.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> </span><span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;">It's best to keep your anxiety level down and get your beauty rest. When you're under stress, do not neglect your skin care routine. Take the time for preventive maintenance or your pimples will return with a vengeance.</span> <span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"> </span> <span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:130%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;"><br />Stopping Pimples and Blemishes</span> </span> <span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;"><br />Acne prone people are still going to experience pimples and blemishes, even after the best skin care routine.
