Natural Health – Beauty and the Belly
I am amazed that more people don’t connect their face to their food. They wake up and see a little more puffiness around their eyes, their nose might look larger than yesterday with a bit less definition in their cheekbones, and they don’t ask themselves:
‘Did those sun dried tomatoes and provolone on my salad last night do this?’ or ‘What about that micro-waved pre-packaged pasta I had for lunch?’ ‘Did I drink enough water yesterday?’ (FYI – the more water you drink, the less water you retain) or ‘did that diet soda and anchovy pizza go to my face?’
They just unhappily accept these changes as part of the aging process and something they can’t control. They might consider a few nips and tucks for the future, but other than that they feel as if there is nothing they can do. Well there is something that can be done and it is as simple as paying attention to what goes in and out of your belly.
Ultrasound – New Tool For Skin Health and Beauty
What Is Ultrasound Skin Therapy?
The easiest definition of ultrasound is sound that is at a frequency too high for human to hear. The frequencies of ultrasound used in beauty care are too high for your pets to hear, either. The advantage of using the high frequency ultrasound employed in beauty care is that the higher the frequency, the lower the energy.
The ultrasound the obstetrician uses to view an unborn child is about 3,000,000 to 5,000,000 vibrations per second. The ultrasound that is used in the new “sonic knife” technologies that actually break the skin is about 25,000 vibrations per second. Most machines for ultrasound massage of the skin that prepares it absorb skin creams run at 1,000,000 to 2,000,000 vibrations per second. This is high enough for transdermal delivery, but low enough not to injure the skin or the tissues beneath it
Top 6 Ways Aloe Vera Can Make Your Hair Turn Heads
Aloe Vera, or the ‘wonder plant’ as it is often called, is a succulent cactus-like plant that grows in arid climates. It is most commonly known for its ability to moisturize and revitalize as it is comprised of 95% water.
The ‘wonder plant’ is also a great source of nutrients, as it provides a number of essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes. Here are some ways the ‘wonder plant’ can be used to help revive your hair, bring back its luster, and moisturize like no other product on the market, naturally.
1- The Ultimate Moisturizer
Mix 1 Tablespoon of Aloe Vera Gel into your conditioner, or nix the conditioner altogether and let the Aloe revitalize your hair as it replenishes its moisture.
2- The Need For Speed
Does it take forever for your hair to grow? The ‘wonder plant’ provides hundreds of nutrients and enzymes that stimulate hair growth. Try gently massaging some Aloe Vera Gel into your scalp and letting it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse with warm water and a mild shampoo. Repeat as needed. You can also try adding some concentrated Aloe Vera juice to your favorite smoothie. Whether applied externally, or taken orally, extracts from the ‘wonder plant’ can help speed up hair growth.
