Fight Breakout With These Food

ZINC works to reduce inflammation to shrink bumps, and it also slows sebum production to reduce shine and prevent more breakouts from forming.


almonds
baked beans
beef
chickpeas
oysters
pumpkin seeds

CAROTENOIDS attacks blemishes in three ways: reducing inflammation, encouraging cell turnover (aka natural exfoliations) and strengthening your skin’s defense against bacteria. All of that can add up to clean, clear pores that are less prone to pimples.


mango
cantaloupe
carrots
spinach
sweet potatoes
tomatoes

FIBER in whole grains helps your body absorb and burn carbs more slowly, which keeps blood sugar and insulin levels steady.

Your Biggest Beauty Sins

Sleeping with Your Makeup On
When you forget to wash your face, your skin has the chance to marinate in a day’s worth of debris and oil overnight.The skin is unable to breathe, regenerate tissue, exfoliate dead surface cells and heal itself. This can lead to breakouts, excessive oiliness, a dull complexion or even dry skin.Nighttime is when the skin rejuvenates itself, so it’s very important to purify and cleanse before sleeping.


Always Sleeping on the Same Side of Your Face
We can’t always control where our head hits the pillow, but repeatedly snoozing in the same spot can cause fine lines to become permanently etched. This is because skin is scrunched up against the pillow over and over again. To ward off wrinkles, make sure your pillow is fluffy; one that’s too firm can cause more squishing. Try placing a moon-shaped cushion on top of your regular pillow; this way, only the perimeter of your face rests against the fabric.

Cleansing with Water That's Too Hot
Washing away residue is always a good thing, but when you rinse with hot water, you can do more harm than good.A temperature that’s scorching causes broken capillaries on the face. The capillary walls are very thin and elastic, so they are reactive to temperature, she says. To keep skin balanced, always cleanse with lukewarm or tepid water

Rubbing Your Eyes
The area around your eyes is the thinnest, most sensitive area of the face.The more you rub it, the more it will stretch. Since there are no oil glands there, the skin has very little give. Repeated rubbing or pulling on the lids, especially when putting in contact lenses, can cause skin to slacken and fine lines to form. To keep skin firm, hydrate it with eye cream—the drier the skin around the eyes, the more wrinkles will be visible. When you put in contact lenses, use your fourth and fifth fingers to hold open your lids. Since these are weaker digits, skin won’t be stretched as aggressively. And most important, stop rubbing your eyes!


Washing Your Face Before Your Hair
Especially when you use a conditioning hair mask. These treatments tend to be loaded with oils, which can seep into your face. Pores get clogged, leading to breakouts, especially along the hairline. Make sure you thoroughly cleanse away any residue from your face after rinsing your hair.

Wearing Too Much Facial Moisturizer
You may be extra-vigilant about keeping skin supple, but too much of a good thing can have a reverse effect. Excess cream won’t absorb deeply enough into cellular tissue, so skin won’t be able to breathe and pores will clog. Sometimes this can even manifest in dryness. Use a lighter hand when applying moisturizer; a dime-size amount is plenty to protect skin from environmental stressors.

Whiter Teeth,Anyone?

Whiten at home-Change the solution every ten minutes instead of leaving it in for the full half hour. This is because the gel gets weaker over time. Switching solutions leads to better, quicker results.


Use a regular toothpaste-Whitening formula only removes surface stains by using more abrasive particles and may harm your teeth and gums. It does not actually bleach the teeth.



Cut down on green tea-Green tea stains teeth like coffee,tea and wine.If you find yourself reaching for any of these drinks, make sure you brush or at least rinse out your mouth with water afterward.

Use a non-alcoholic mouthwash- Alcohol tends to dry the mouth out. All major companies make alcohol-free mouthwashes; just make sure to read the bottles carefully, so that you know what you’re purchasing.

Chew sugar-free gum- Gums containing xylitol have been shown in studies to reduce the bacteria that cause tooth decay.




Eat some strawberries. Fruits that contain acids "burn" the teeth. Therefore, using acids such as those present in strawberries will make your teeth appear whiter. But consume in moderation: Extensive use will damage the enamel of the teeth and lead to costly dental repairs.

Do You Really Know What's In Your Skincare?

Natural scrub?


Apricot seeds and walnut shells sound like a healthy way to exfoliate your face. But ground shells and pits—unless they are refined into a cosmetic-grade product—have irregularly shaped surfaces that can cause microscopic tears in delicate facial skin

Aluminium up in your armpit?


The most effective deodorant contain aluminum chlorohydrate but don't sweat it,very small amounts of aluminum chlorohydrate don’t increase your risk for Alzheimer’s.

Petroleum for your face?


Facial products derived from petroleum are highly refined and very different from that can of WD-40 sitting on your man’s tool bench.Petroleum jelly is one of the best, most cost-effective moisturizers in the world.

Preservative free?


Parabens are the most commonly used preservatives in cosmetics, but many products are now advertised as “paraben-free.FDA has concluded that the tiny (0.01 to 0.03%) amount of parabens present in cosmetics is safe.Unless a person is allergic to parabens,this class of preservatives should be avoided.


All natural ingredients?


Plant extracts can contain volatile oils that can cause irritation and sensitivity, especially to the sun.

What's in your shampoo?


Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) are known irritant.It would be good if you find an affordable product that does not contain it.

Time for Renewal


Sothys latest development, the result of 30 years of research into antioxidants and genomics. The C Renewal System is a range of products like no other, giving immediate results while increasing the health of your skin.

Our skins are constantly being targeted by a multitude of aggressions, the primary role of our skins during the day is to defend itself. At night however, the role changes. As we sleep our skin undertakes its greatest job, to repair and regenerate and prepare it for the next day of defense.

Our bodies obey definite biorhythms relating to functions carried out at day and night. Sothys has used this knowledge of Chronobiology to increase the efficiency of its latest range of products working in synch with the natural cycles of the skin.

Normally, the skin is quite resistant, if there aren’t too many aggressions the skin can defend and repair itself, however……

When there are too many aggressions, the health of the skin decreases and the skin becomes overwhelmed.

When this happens, the skin becomes tired, stressed and then ages more rapidly.

This is when we need to act quickly, to stop these imbalances taking control. The ideal time for the C Renewal System.

This system comprises of three homecare products. A Microdermabrasion Mask, a Double Renewal System and the Continuous Renewal Care. All products are designed to be used as a two month course of treatment to resurface, smooth and re -texturise the skin. Using a state of the art AHA delivery system the C renewal system delivers outstanding results whilst improving the health of your skin

Skin Food

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

This healthy fat contains essential fatty acids that help skin resist UV damage. EFAs are also part of the cell membranes that help hold in moisture. The body can't synthesize EFAs, so consume about 1 tablespoon of olive oil daily to keep skin supple.Using it at meals also warded off the next round of hunger pains in one study, so you're less likely to snack.


Cocoa Made with Dark Chocolate

A significant increase in circulation that lasted 2 hours for every 1/2 cup of this wonderful cocoa. But a daily cocoa habit may rejuvenate your complexion even more. Women who drank 1/2 cup of cocoa high in flavonoids (as is dark chocolate) every day for 12 weeks in another study had significantly softer, smoother, and better hydrated skin.

Walnut

These nuts are storehouses of alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fat that's a key component of the lubricating layer that keeps skin moist and supple.Studies showed that walnuts contain melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep.

Almond

Eating a handful of almonds every day boosts levels of vitamin E, one of the most important antioxidants for skin health. You'll get a surge in moisture too.A good snack too.

Egg


Lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants found in eggs, more than quadrupled protection against the UV damage that leads to lines, brown spots, and cancer in one study on women. Skin was also markedly softer, firmer, and better hydrated.An egg a day significantly increases blood levels of lutein and zeaxanthin (but not cholesterol), which may stave off macular degeneration by protecting the retina from light damage.

Soy


Soy isoflavone is known as aglycone helps to improves fine wrinkles and skin firmness .It may reduce your risk of developing endometrial and ovarian cancers and diabetes and prevent a recurrence of breast cancer.


Apple





The fruit feautred in the Bible is full of Quercetin, an antioxidant in the peel of many varieties, provides hefty protection from the "burning" UVB rays that trigger skin cancer.Be sure to eat the peel which is the main source of nearly all the anti oxidant.

Strawberry

This little berry contents a potent antioxidant that boosts production of collagen fibers that help keep skin smooth and firm. More C may mean fewer fine lines too: Women with lower intakes were likelier to have dry, wrinkled skin. Early research also shows that ellagic acid, an antioxidant abundant in strawberries, protects the elastic fibers that keep skin from sagging. It may lowered the risk of cancer by inhibiting the malignant cells.Grab your daily dose today!





Tomatoe To-Mah-Toe or whatever way you called it,this red fruit is packed antioxidant correlate to fewer fine lines and furrows.Also comes with lycopene to help increases the protection against the sunburn.Heart attack chances are lowered too.







Romaine Lettuce











This wonderful green revitalizes skin by increasing cell turnover. The mineral potassium in romaine gives skin a refreshing boost of nutrients and oxygen by improving circulation.It can helps to ward off bulging leg veins as well.

Rehydrates your skin

Regardless of skin type, age or the season, hydration is a natural need.A hydrating cosmetic product is thus indispensable for preserving this valuable equilibrium every day and to continue having a supple, soft and radiant skin. This is the most basic requirement for any type of skin.

Hydration not only increase the skin's water content, but they also protect the skin and encourage an orderly desquamation process that makes the skin appear more smooth.Lack of hydration may bring in all kinds of skin problems including pigmentation and premature aging.This is why it is very important to have a moisturizer in your daily skincare routine.

You'll need 2 different type of moisturizer to cater the biological clock of your body.Daytime moisturizer is to protect your skin from dehydration .Your daytime moisturizer will often be worn under makeup, so it will be lighter and more easily absorbed. This ensures that it doesn’t make your makeup slide off halfway through the morning!Your skin uses the night time to replenish and repair itself. It's also a time when your skin won't be able to hydrate itself from any other source, so the moisturizer you put on before bed will generally be richer and harder-working than the one you use in the morning.

Magic Ingredients For Younger Looking Skin


Açai Berry
You know about anti-oxidants, right? You should—they fight the skin damage cause by sun, pollution, and other environmental factors. And the extract of this berry contains one with serious potential.

One study found that its antioxidant ability was "by far the highest of any fruit or vegetable to date," when ingested orally. In terms of its potency in a cream, dermatologists are hopeful, but say more study is needed.

Melatonin
The stuff people pop for jet lag could have benefits when slathered on the skin. Melatonin is another antioxidant and possible way to boost collagen. And it's a team player: many studies show that when used with other antioxidants, it helps them penetrate the skin better. So far, it doesn't seem to make you drowsy, but it can irritate dry or sensitive skin.

Activin
Skin doctors are excited about this, a protein that kicks off collagen production to heal wounds. They're thinking that because aging skin is damaged skin, activin might also reduce wrinkles. Avon, the only company using the ingredient now, checked out hundreds of ways to create Activin and discovered a combination of Asian plants they named activinol. According to the company's studies, the plant compound delivered up to a 25 percent improvement in fine wrinkles.

Serpin B3 Inhibitor
Need another reason to stay out of the sun? UV exposure can produce a protein in skin cells called serpin B3, which causes dryness and roughness. But Shiseido has patented a synthetic amino acid, Skingenecell 1P that suppresses it, which makes skin softer. Dermatologists are excited about the ingredient, and have found that products containing it are much more effective than traditional moisturizers.

Snap-8
This jazzily named ingredient is like a milder version of Botox, but in a cream, according to the people who make it. Here's how they put it together: Botox interrupts the release of a neurochemical that makes muscles contract (and wrinkles form). Argireline, the active ingredient in many skin creams that claim to work like Botox, does something similar. Snap-8 is chemically like argireline but about 30 percent more effective, according to the makers. Doctors say While Snap-8 creams won't give you all the benefits of Botox, but still give it the thumbs up: products containing the ingredient do seem to have a gradual relaxing effect.

Tensin
This protein in skin helps connect and anchor cells, but its production drops as the years go by. The logic: if a product can restore the body's tensin, skin will look firmer and younger. Chanel worked with scientists from Harvard to identify a plant compound that they say stimulates our stores of tensin. Outside dermatologists say more study is needed to see whether the compound will have the same effect on skin that it does on cells in a lab.

Genomic Technology
This one isn't an ingredient, it's a whole strategy. Young skin contains proteins (including activin, serpin B3, and tensin) that decrease over time. By identifying the genes responsible for creating these proteins, scientists can formulate ingredients to keep the good stuff flowing. We're still in the beginning stages of utilizing genomic technology, but dermatologists agree: It is the future of skin care.

Aging Makeup Mistakes

THICK FOUNDATION
Heavy makeup is a one-way ticket to looking older than you actually are. Choose a sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer,and after you apply it, press a damp makeup sponge into areas where you have wrinkles to soak up any excess. While the less-is-more maxim may seem counterintuitive, the more skin you can see, the better. As long as it is well-hydrated, fresh skin looks much more youthful than an obviously covered complexion.


BASE THAT'S TOO LIGHT
Foundation that's paler than your natural skin tone exaggerates fine lines. Even if you have ivory skin, you need to go a little bit warmer as you get older. Switch to a hue that's one or two shades darker and has luminescent particles. A light-reflective formula makes the skin look like it's glowing.

HEAVY CONCEALER ON DARK CIRCLES
The skin under the eyes gets thinner as we age, making thick cover-up look like concrete. Keep it light and apply it with a brush. The brush distributes the color more evenly. And put it only on dark areas, not under the entire eye.

FACE POWDER ON TOP OF LINES
Powder is fine for reducing shine on the nose and the chin, but on other parts of the face it exaggerates wrinkles and can make skin look too dry. One unbreakable rule applies: Avoid the eye area completely.


BLUSH ON THE APPLES OF THE CHEEKS
It draws attention to sagging skin. Instead, apply color on the highest point on your cheekbones, not too close to the nose, and lift it upward with a brush that's large enough to cover the whole cheekbone. Skip the drama queen shades, too: Colors like wine and cinnamon will only make you look gaunt if you're thin and clownish if you're not.A neutral rose color flatters all skin tones and really brightens things up.


LIPSTICK THAT MIGRATES
Your natural lip line can begin to fade as you age, which makes lipstick more prone to bleeding and feathering. Tracing it with one of the new clear lip liners can help the color stay put.


MAJOR LIPSTICK
Bright colors, dark shades, and anything metallic or iridescent are too heavy for thinning lips. Instead, choose a neutral rose shade. And consider switching from a lipstick to a sheer gloss—it will give you more fullness.

MASCARA ON THE LOWER LASHES
It highlights crow's-feet. And dark circles. And it just generally looks bad. Coat your top lashes with the blackest black mascara you can find—it will make the whites of your eyes look clearer and whiter. It's also best to avoid superthick formulas that don't separate easily. Lashes get dryer as we age, making mascara more likely to clump and fall onto your face. And don't forget your curler. Curling your lashes is the easiest thing you can do to make your eyes look bigger—and therefore younger.



EYELINER ON THE LOWER LASHES
All that does is make your eyes look smaller and draw attention to dark circles.Unless you have really big eyes. Stick to the upper lids—and make the line thicker toward the outer corners, where eyes have a tendency to droop as we age.



SPARKLY SHADOW ON THE OUTER CORNERS
A little shimmer is flattering and keeps eye makeup from looking too stark, but at the outer corners, it magnifies every fine line. Restrict sparkle and shimmer to the inner corners, the centers of the lids, and just on the brow bones.
