When using the right cleanser will make all the difference in the world, as it will determine how the skin will react to anything else you apply to it. Over cleaning your face and drying it out, cannot be corrected by a moisturizer. Using a wipe-off, cold cream-type cleanser will clog up the skin pores and leave a light film, which means all the other pruducts one applies will be sitting on top (bad news), instead of being absorbed into the skin. Using a drying toner to degrease the skin will cause irritation and other problems.
To degrease the skin, use a gentle water-soluble cleanser to the entire face area, this is safe for all skin types.
Good water-based/soluble cleansers are teriffic as they are a cross between shampoo and cold cream, but never hard soap, which easly washed off with lukewarm water.
Now there are differences between good and bad water-based cleansers:
Good:
1) It washers off makeup without leaving face dry.
2) They contain no fragrance, (fragrance is an irritant) although cleansers without fragrance are difficult
to find, or abrasive scublike particles
3) It must be gentle to the skin, some cleansers on the market sate “water soluble” but need to be wiped off with a face cloth. Remember, if a cleanser needs to wiped off, it is not “water soluble”. Theses type of cleansers may be nessarry for a dry skin, but use a soft non abrasive cloth.
Water based or water soluble cleansers are also the most efficeint way to clean the face. Everthing is done at the wash basin. Using this type of cleanser, eliminates the use of eye makeup remover or great amounts of tissues to wipe the face.
Tip:
Water soluble/based cleansers will never need to be wiped off, but will rinse off by splashing tempid/lukewarm water with your hands to be removed.
Water soluble cleansers that contain AHAs, BHA, or disinfectants are to be avoided at all cost. These can irritate the eye area and because they are rinsed, the active ingrediences are washed away before they can have any effect to the skin.
Summary:
Use only water-soluble cleaners that rinse off completly when water is splashed on the face, that leaves the skin feeling clean and soft feeling. Creamy, water-soluble cleaners can be a option for a dry skin, but a extreemly soft gengle washcloth should be used.
Directions:
Wash hands first then wet face by splashing tempid water onto it including the eyes. With the face being soaking wet, take the cleanser and massage generously all over, including the eyelids,. Rinse off well by splashing tempid water.
If traces of makeup is left behind, or have a oily skin, repeat this step. Do this whenever you need to clean the face, whether you have used makeup or not, With heavy makeup, ultra-matt foundations or other hard to remove makeup, use a soft cloth.
Take care.

Handfull of mixed nuts and seeds.
Exelent source of the vitamin b and magnesium, this is a major role in regulating and boosting moods.
Wholemeal bread/bagel with a smear of peanut butter.
Whlorgrain carbs triggers a slow release of the hormone “serotonin” l mentioned above.
Semi-skimmed milk.
Here is the rich source of the vitamin B12. Research has proven that low levels of this vitamin has been linked to depression, so makes sence to topup.
Honey, Natutures cure
No one knows when we found the treasure hidden in bee nests/hives, but beekeepers covering the walls cave paintings in Spain show that we have been practicing the art of beekeeping at least 7000 years. Versatile honey. It is estimated as a sweetener,medicine,an offering to the gods, money, even symbol of love. In Greek mythology, for example, cupids with arrows first dip tips in honey before shooting into hearts
Ayurveda, the hidu god said that honey is the honey of life, as it is made from the essence of the sexual organs of flowers, it has a natural relationship with the reproductive tissue. You can also cure a sore throat, runny nose, cough, ulcers, burns and wounds. And when taken with healing herbs (like Ashwagandha), natural honey travels to the deepest tissues, transporting the chemical properties and the subtle energies of medicine to the cellular level.
She said that raw honey is a cure, but honey roast is slow poison. Why? In its natural form, the honey is rich in minerals, vitamins, enzyme, but warming the honey strips most of the nutritional value and changes the molecules in a non-homogeneous glue attached to the mucous membranes and clogs subtle channels of energy. Honey heated creates cell toxicity and immune dysfunction. You can also clog arteries and cause atherosclerosis (thickening of the arteries), which inhibits blood flow to vital organs. So, as a rule, honey should not be cooked, and nothing should be cooked with honey. Instead, add yogurt, raw honey, hot tea or spread on bread or toast
What are the main causes of dry skin in leg area? and How to Get Rid of it on the legs
There are many of factors that cause dry skin in various body parts. In most cases, these factors mirror a person’s impoverished health habits. Care should be taken to discipline one’s own life in order to avoid such problems.
Poor hygiene – Poor hygiene can easily result in dry skin problems.
Chain smoking or regular consumption of alcohol – Regular consumption of tobacco or alcohol may aggravate dry skin problems in various body parts.
Lacks of defense against extreme sunlight – Several people ignore the treatment their skin receives from extreme sunlight and powerful winds. These can also lead to dry skin in legs, arms and thighs.
Medical conditions – Poor health may also trigger dry skin problems in some cases. Diseases such as dermatitis, allergies and eczema are known to trigger.
There will always be a “scratching” operation due to any of the above mentioned causes. It is important to look for an effective remedy instead of scratching the dry skin in leg areas or anywhere else. Excessive scratching will result in more irritation and flaking and peeling. Worse symptoms including rashes, cracking and fissures begin to appear when dry skin problems are neglected.
Get Rid of Dry Skin on Legs
Wash your legs with great care
Have you tried to wash your hands, arms and legs rigorously in order to get rid of germs? It is okay to try a little harder in order to get rid of dirt, dust and germs. However, be very careful of the soap (or use soapfree products) you are using in such cases. Here are the most useful tips on washing the dry skin on legs:
The skin depends upon certain natural oils to maintain its glow, health and life. Harmful chemicals in soap can knock out germs as well as useful natural oils from your skin. Stick to beauty soaps or soapfree as long as possible. Germicidal soaps should be used only when there is no other option.
Stay “away from all sorts of abrasive scrubs. Some people use these scrubs in order to put an immediate end to dry skin on legs. This practice can lead to an aggravated stage of skin dryness in leg areas. Remember to pat the skin on your legs softly with a clean cloth and soapy water.
Avoid excessive steam baths if possible. The protective layer of your skin on legs is destroyed when exposed to excessive steamy baths. Get rid of the dirt with a lukewarm shower but do not damage the natural moisturizing component of your skin on legs.
Dead skin cells on your legs
Never try to remove dead skin on your legs by using clippers and other equipment. Make use of an exfoliating agent to get rid of dead skin cells. If your legs are exposed, you should be more careful when using exfoliates. The dry skin on legs begins to replenish and moisturize very quickly as a result of successful exfoliation.
New skin cells are blocked and irritated by the buildup of old and dead skin cells. The process has to be as gentle as possible. Always use soft scrubs and gentle products for this process. Professionally carried out exfoliation can give superior results in such cases. However, it can cost a lot more than over the counter cosmetic products and home remedies.
Be careful when shaving dry skin areas on legs
Areas that you shave on a regular basis are more prone to dry skin. Make sure the blades are changed on a regular basis. Infection and even dullness in a blade’s sharpness can result in irritation, burning sensation and blotchiness. Always rub good quality moisturizers after you have shaved.
It is always good to make some arrangements to protect the skin on legs from intense sunlight. Either you should carry an umbrella or use a good moisturizing cream. Carrying an umbrella is the wisest thing to do when the weather is a bit unfavorable. A sunscreen with an SPF of about fifteen or above can save your skin from harmful sun rays for a long period of time.
Eat well and reduce smoking, even quit smoking
Getting rid of dry skin on legs by using some inside-out techniques is always a good idea. Eating foods with sufficient omega 3 fats is one of a few techniques to work on dry skin problems from inside out. Fish oil and krill are known to have a high percentage of omega 3 fats. Quit smoking and reduce your alcohol intake. Supplements, omega 3 fats and a healthy diet can help only when you are ready to say “no” to nicotine and alcohol.
Do not ignore dry skin problems and get in touch with an expert if needed
Consulting a cosmetologist or dermatologist if you don’t get desired results with above mentioned tips. Neglecting dry skin on legs or anywhere else can lead to premature aging. Dry skin on legs can also lead to breakouts because this condition leads to higher output of oil when dry skin makes an effort to get moisturized.

Lose Weight and Keep it Off! The Secret to Easy and Permanent Weight Loss
The healthiest way to lose weight is not the quickest way to lose weight.
Crash diets and new, trendy weight loss plans or sudden and drastic increases in
exercise are not recommended and most doctors consider such an approach to
losing weight, to be dangerous.
You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that the task to lose weight can be a difficult one
while some lose weight with something as simple as sticking to a dietary plan, others find that any method
they try to lose weight offers no results.
Further more, anyone who has ever been on a diet will tell you that there is a obsession in counting
calories and the next meal. In simple terms, to lose weight is AGONY
If you are more than 20 pounds over your ideal weight, you are at greater risk of potentially
deadly conditions, such as, diabetes, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, endometrial
cancer, obstructive sleep, and even breast cancer. And, if you already have a medical condition
such as high cholesterol, being overweight puts you at higher risk for complications.
The good news is that the Loss of 10% of body weight can reduce blood pressure, high cholesterol,
and prevent diabetes.

Free Hair Style Guide – Free Hair Style Advice With Pictures -Hot New Hair Style Trends For 2010!
Looking to experiment with new hair style trends in 2011? Your choices abound! There’s an absolute feast of looks to choose from. Update your hair style with one of these hot trends that dominate the hair scene this year. Visit to here - http://freehairstylesguide.blogspot.com/
Bobs With Bang
Precision cut bobs are huge this year, coupled with smooth, sleek styling, a blunt fringe and heaps of shine. Your bob should be carefully crafted to accentuate your unique facial structure, or highlight a long, beautiful neck. Bob hair styles range from ear level to shoulder skimming and are best for straight or slightly wavy hair. If your hair is too curly, a bob can take on the look of a triangle, widening at the bottom in an unflattering way. Only opt for the bangs with this hair style if it works with your facial structure. And if you’re feeling a little more groovy baby…incorporate a mod feel into your bob.
Mad For Mod
Heavy, side-swept bangs and blunt lines characterize this cut. A mod hair style is similar to a bob, it’s texture and direction that add a mod feel. This cut has a generous amount of slicing or texturizing to lighten up the bluntness. Your hip, mod hair do should be styled with a swooping motion, directing the hair around the head from the crown or a deep side part. Using hair products like waxes, clays, or muds add texture and a bit of grungy-funk to a mod hair style.
Asymmetry in Action
This edgy look just keeps getting more extreme! Bold exploration is the name of the game. Unexpected texture and length differences. The asymmetrical look can be done on a range of hair styles from a short cut, a bob or a longer, layered style. And the angles can range from soft and gently sloping to an extreme plunge. This year, asymmetrical bangs are hot, and whether they’re cut blunt or heavily textured, a sloping bang adds interest and can highlight your features nicely.
Strategic Layers
Carved throughout the interior of the hair, strategic layers bring out the authentic movement of each individual head of hair. Cutting techniques are advancing, and hair styling is becoming more bold and unique to each person rather than a universal one-size-fits-all hair trend like back in the “Rachel” days. Strategic layering allows you to capitalize on what YOU have, not just mimic “The look of the day.” Find a good hair stylist and listen to their ideas about styles and techniques that’ll work best on your hair, while complimenting your features

Hair gel styles | Hair Jell,hair styling gel
Gone are those days when people used to think that hair styling and hair cuts are meant only for women. In fact over the past few decades, things have changes significantly and today’s men do not hesitate trying different styles on their hair. The truth is that today there are different ways with which one can style his hair. Moreover, whether a person has long and textured or short and tight hair, there are so many hair styling products like hair gels, pomades, mousse, etc. available that can be used to style or set hair for that perfect look. But with so many options available, it is inevitable to get confused deciding which hair product is best for the hair and how these products differ from each other. Read more on haircuts styles and ideas.Most of us with this confusion end up buying products which are not good for our hair texture and style, and further, if used on a long run can even damage our hair. One such perplexing situation where most people finding themselves stuck is differentiating between hair gel and pomade. As both are hair care products for men, people tend to consider them similar and often use one in place of the other. Therefore, here in this article, ‘pomade vs gel’, we will discuss the similarity as well as the differences between them. Read more on hair care products.Hair gel is a hair styling gel that helps to get your hair in the desired style and shape. Though it works well for both short and long hair, hair gel is exceptionally good for short hairstyles or any look that requires more precision. The gel helps to keep the style you want all day long, even in hot humid days without giving a crusty or wet look. Amongst all other hair products like wax, pomade, mousse, etc. hair gel is strongest of all that won’t let your hair to move or change. But this is not always good, as if applied improperly or more than required it will make the hair look crusty and wet. Hence, be careful while applying the gel, as lesser you put, the better is the outcome. While applying just put a small quantity in one hand, rub in your hands and then apply to towel dried hair. Sculpt and style your hair with your fingers for a desired hair style.Different gels are available in the market, vary according to their hold power, like you may get gels providing light hold to extra, stiff hold. However, a good hair gel is one that would not only shape your hair but will also take proper hair care. Since there are certain gels that contain alcohol which can dry/damage your hair, be careful while buying a hair gel and go for a gel that contains hair moisturizing properties.Pomade: Pomade is a greasy substance used for styling, spiking and smoothing hair. It is basically a mix between hair gel and wax that provides a light hold on the hair to give that desired look without making the hair look very greasy. Unlike hair gel, pomade is soft on hair and usually contains nourishing and conditioning ingredients. It works great for short spiky looks and updos instead of long hair, and keep every hair in place without any stiffness. However, like hair gel, pomade should be applied properly else your hair will look very oily. Hence, only a small amount is enough to set and style your hair. Just take a small quantity of pomade on your fingertips, rub on your fingers, apply to your hair, and simply style and sculpt the hair with your fingertips. Read more on best hair products for curly hair.Hope you got a fair idea about pomade vs gel. To sum up, we can say that both these men hair styling products are similar in many ways and will give you the look you desire. Depending upon your hair texture and length one can choose between them. I hope the information given in this article ‘pomade vs gel’ proves to be helpful to you all.
