Skin is one of the most vital organs of the body that is usually not given the attention that it requires until it is too late. Only after people start to feel the impact of the damage to their skin, do they actually go ahead and start looking for the solutions. This is a completely wrong approach as like in all other cases prevention is the best cure. Taking precautions and taking care of the skin from the start is going to ensure that it stays healthy over the long run and also doing this is going to ensure that you don’t have to start using anti aging products so soon. There are many ways in which one can delay the process of aging on one’s skin. However, as stated earlier, the key is that the treatments are taken in a consistent manner and before time not after the issue has shown itself.
The key way of doing this is to start taking care of your skin with the natural ingredients. This is going to ensure that one does not introduce artificial ingredients that are capable of causing a lot of harm if their quality is compromised. Face Massage is the most basic way in which one can keep the skin alive and young for a long time. There are further many different categories that come under this one heading. All the different versions use different ingredients and many a times many different types of techniques. These variations come along depending on your skin type. Therefore, the best way of going about all this skin care and anti aging prevention is that to go to a professional first who can identify your skin type exactly and then suggest the corresponding face massage category accordingly.
Acne Facial is one of the most used facials around the globe. This is targeted towards the skin types, as the name suggests, that is suffering from acne. The purpose of this facial is that is uses ingredients that are responsible for the reduction of acne and then in a progressive manner to get totally get rid of it. One of the key causes of this problem is the excess skin oil excretion so the ingredients that are being used target the key problem which is the oily skin and try to reduce that source of the problem. With regular use the result is that the oily skin is taken care of and hence one is rid of the acne.
Another quite popular form of facial is the Classic European Facial. The basic purpose of this facial is to cleanse the skin and return its moisture content. In addition to these two key things there is the matter of toning the skin as well that gets covered under this. As far as the skin type is concerned all the skin types require that they are moisturized properly during the cold weathers. However, when the skin type is of extreme dry quality, in that case this facial is required around the clock to maintain the right health for your skin.
One of the key components of life is the element of oxygen and like all the other aspects of our health that require its proper intake, the skin also requires a balance amount of oxygen. For those who lack this or need it more given their skin type or age group they should then opt for the Oxygen Facial. This facial is done with the help of the right kind of machinery. There is an airbrush that is used in it and the purpose is to re-pump the skin with the right amount so that the wrinkles and all other signs of anti aging can go away.
Signs of aging are not just visible on your face and hands, they show up on other body parts as well especially the skin of your back in order to make sure that the health of the facial skin matches with that of the back, there are special Back Facial treatments that ensure that, that part of your skin is set alive as and young looking along with your face and hands as well, so that you can wear any sort of cloths you want.
The addition of technology has helped a lot and one of the key introductions has been made by the laser treatments. There are many sub-categories under this as well and the two most popular ones include the Laser Facials and the Laser Skin Rejuvenation. Both of these treatments are totally painless and harmless and truly rejuvenate your skin and give you a natural fresh look that you start to lose after a time.
The technique of Micro Dermabrasion uses tiny grains to rebuff your skin. The rebuffing is going to take away the dead portions which result in the skin aging and give back the young and fresh feel to the skin. This is a more technical procedure so it should be ensured that when one is opting for it, it is the qualified professionals from whom one gets it done only.
There are many other skin treatments as well other than the ones mentioned above that are being used around the globe to ensure that the skin is able to avoid anti aging. Two additional techniques that are being used include PCA Pell and the Micro Photo-Therapy Anti-Aging. Again both of these treatments are quite effective depending on the condition of your skin. However, along with that these procedures too are a bit more complicated and don’t only follow the application of creams and ointments. Hence for them to become fully successful and effective it is important that the right professional expertise are used. Getting these procedures done from inexperienced individuals is only going to result in further serious problems that are capable of harming not just your skin but your overall health as well. As mentioned earlier the best solution is prevention hence, it is important that great care is taken before picking the place from where you get your skin treatment.
Anything associated with the human body has a direct link with the sort of diet that one takes. There is a reason that food is said to be the fuel for the human body. Just like the performance of a car’s engine that is dependent on the quality of oil that is put in it, the health and performance of the human body depends on the kind of food that is put in it.
With the passage of time and all the rush of life, people have turned towards easy compared to the quality of the food. This increase in the consumption of junk food has resulted in a number of medical issues as per multiple researches that are being conducted.
It is not just the medical perspective from which it is important that one takes in a healthy diet but from the perspective of beauty as well. The two most important categories that come under this are the skin and nails. If both these features are in good shape, then the overall appearance of an individual becomes quite refreshing in itself.
Skin and nails are the two body parts that are quite reflective of one’s health. Whenever one is having some problem, these are the first things that start to show the signs that something is wrong in the internal mechanism of the body.
In comparison of the two, the more important is the skin and it is very important that one is careful about the maintenance of its health. One of the key reasons for keeping the skin healthy is to ensure that in case one is suffering some other medical condition, the signs can be detected in time. If the skin is neglected its own health is going to deteriorate in a manner that the signs won’t be distinguished and the bigger problem will go un-identified. To many this may sound as a trivial reason but the fact of the matter is that this a very important factor. Many people have suffered the consequences of the confusion of not knowing if the skin’s damage was the result of a problem or neglect. It is better to be safe than sorry so this aspect of the situation should not be ignored at all.
The food that one takes is capable of changing the texture of the skin. The most common shift that people usually go through is the conversion of pretty normal skin into oily skin or dry skin. When it comes to the oily skin, that is mostly because of the intake of junk food which has loads of oil in it. In addition to the presence of direct oil in these foods, it is the use of artificial food ingredients that is causing a lot of problem. These ingredients impact the hormones of the body which are then capable of having an impact on the body functions. In majority of the cases these impacts are not of a positive nature at all. The most problematic factor here is that many a times the changes that occur due to the unhealthy diet are not reversible at all. Individuals then have to live with the consequences for the rest of their lives.
Coming towards the impact of an unhealthy diet on the nails, the immediate consequence is that the nails will not have the strength that they usually have in their healthy condition. The first sign is that their growth is not normal. So if your nails are not growing at the pace at which they used to, then this should be your first sign that the unhealthy food is affecting your nails now. The other sign is that even if they are growing, the nails are quite weak and they easily break off. For females this means that all the desire for showing off your nail art is going to go down the drain. It is not just about simply showing off your nail art. The problem is a bit more intense. Having the ability to use nail art as per your choice is reflective of the fact that the health of your nails is in perfect condition. In case this is not the case, then it shows that the health is not on the mark and the damage needs to be controlled.
All of these are going to be the results of the food that is being consumed on the mass scale. This is not to say that one should not eat any of the foods that are available outside. However, the basic point here is that those kind of foods should not be replaced as your regular foods. It is important that one invests a bit in the healthy food category. The only difference between the foods of this category is that they need making on your own part and that is going to require some input on your part. This input should be considered as an investment in your health, which is going to be the most important and effective investment that you will be making. If you don’t have your health and in this particular case if it is not being reflected in the condition of your skin and nails then all the rest of the gifts and talents that you have will not give a feeling of satisfaction to you.
As the saying goes health and safety first and this is a formula that is sadly being ignored by the majority these days. There is no point in feeling sorry for yourself in the end. Thus, without wasting any more time, go ahead and see where you are standing and get the treatment that is needed in your case. To ensure that you opt all of these changes as part of your life style, the suggestion is that you make the shift in a slow and steady manner instead of rushing into the things. Rushing the change is only going to resemble a fad and you will soon be back to your regular manners.
Beauty is connected to care. In fact in some cultures the two terms are interchangeable. This is not a new fact, in fact this can be observed anywhere around you. When one spends some time and energy on something the results turn out to be splendid. Start taking care of yourself and it is not just the outward beauty that is going to show results but in fact the internal self is going to feel good as well. When the internal and the external are going to be on the same comfort line, beauty is going to emerge automatically.
One of the key aspects when it comes to taking care of you beauty is to keep your nails in good shape. When one has good nails the whole persona gets a great look as well. However, the most common complain that people have is that they are not able to get healthy nails around the year. Many people get their nails in great shape during a specific season but then in other seasons the results are totally off. Some of this has to do with the fact that the nails though a hard part of the body, yet they have a lot of sensitivity in them. Hence, the biggest mistake that people in general make is the fact that they don’t treat their sensitive nails with care and instead treat them in a rough manner.
In order to get the best results for your nails, it is important that you invest in nail care in a consistent manner. There are many ways in which one can go about doing this. In addition to the general pattern of care, another thing that is quite important is the fact that all kinds of nail care treatment are not going to work for everyone. This situation is similar to that of one’s skin and hair care. There are many different categories and types of nails that people have and depending on their quality, on needs to work on them accordingly.
The first thing that serves as the key step when it comes to nail care is to ensure that the nails are kept clean. This is the first step that is going to ensure that the nails stay strong and healthy. When one gets interested in growing the nails, the right kind of growth is going to be determined by this very fact as well. With regards to this, there are two main ways through which one can maintain the nails in a consistent manner. One method revolves around the use of natural procedures and herbal treatments. On the other hand there are branded products that are available in the market for the nails’ care. For those who don’t have a lot of spare time on their hands, the best option is to opt for the branded products as all they need to do is apply them directly out of the packaging and see the results in a few hours only. In comparison the herbal treatments are going to take a lot more time, which everyone can’t spare. For those who can it is suggested that they opt for the herbal treatment over the branded products as the results are going to be more sustainable. Even those who are using branded products for their nail care they are going to require that they apply it on regular bases.
Another reason for opting for consistent nail care is that, without it nail art is not going to be a fruitful activity. In the past it was only the simple application of nail colour that was covered under this category. However, now with all the advancement in the product development, a lot of progress has been made in the category of beauty products as well. Now the nail art category involves a lot of designing categories and for their application there are a number of tools that have made the procedure of nail art quite simple now. However, in order for the application process to go ahead in a smooth manner, the nails need to have a proper health as well. Weak nails are not going to be able to support the excess of nail art, especially at the edges which are most vulnerable to breaking off, resulting in the distortion of the whole point behind the nail art category.
Other than the reasons mentioned above which to many are going to sound a bit to super facial there is the issue of a connection that is directly related to the overall health of an individual. Many of the medical problems can be identified by observing the condition of the nails of the people. If the nails are going to be neglected on the whole then it is not going to be possible to separate between the signs of health issue and the general unkempt situation of the nails.
Apart from these, looking after your nails in a regular manner is going to ensure that you have not become a carrier of the problems as well. A lot of problems especially that are associated with the transfer of the germs can be sourced to the condition of the nails of an individual. Therefore, it is important that in order to maintain a general good health one has consistently maintained the nails and ensured that they don’t end up being the carriers of the problems that people are going to be suffering.
These are just some of the basic reasons for which one should be ensuring the good health of the nails by taking care of them in a regular fashion. Doing this in breaks or only once in a blue moon is not going to help the final output. Most of all the results are going to be sloppy at the most and not consistent enough to provided the needed outcome that the majority has been looking for. Therefore it is best to opt for small steps that are going to provide the long term solutions.
One of the major concerns that people have in this fast paced world is that of aging. Nobody wants to grow old. Nobody wanted it, nobody wants it and nobody in the future is going to desire it either. However, the reality of life is that aging is a natural process and one can’t fight nature. Those who try artificial means to resist the aging process, end up mostly in disaster situations, both in terms of their health and also in terms of their looks as well.
There is no need to get all depressed. As stated the use of artificial means to resist aging is going to end in disaster most of the time. Exceptions however, do exist and you will come across individuals who have been successful in dealing with this issue by using all that the technology has to offer. Even if these procedures show some results, they don’t come free and the price tag that is attached to these procedures is not something that the majority can afford either. Just like their results, the people who can afford these are few and far in-between as well. This does not mean that the majority cannot opt for ways that will help them in the anti-aging procedures.
In fact, research has revealed that the best ways to work on one’s anti-aging is to opt for natural processes. As mentioned in the start aging is a natural process and no one can win over nature. However, the best one can do is delay the aging process. All those artificial procedures that are now available are no good in the long term as well. Most of all, all of these procedures are only capable of fixing the superficial aspect of the problem. The internal problems are going to remain there and they are going to progress at their own pace.
The natural procedures that are being referred to include the diet that one has and the exercise that one should be following. Eating right and exercising are the best processes to deal with the troubles of aging. People in general opt for the right kind of diet after a while but opting for exercise is something that is not easy to adapt to. This is especially true when one has spent most of the life in a couch potato format. Physical activity is quite natural when it comes to the human body. What we suffer these days in fact is the result of the fact that people have stopped using the their body to the full capacity. With all the numerous benefits that technology has brought to our lives, too much comfort has spoiled our habits as well. The result is early aging and a number of health problems combined.
In order to test this all one needs to do is compare the data of few years or compare the health related data of two generations. The difference is going to be pretty clear. Looking at the generation of our parents we will see that they had a lot more energy during our age bracket and in fact they are still in much better health condition compared to us. The reason for this is that they have had a very active life style. A lot of work that they used to do in a manual manner we have shifted all that work to machines. Efficiency or not this has resulted in the in-efficiency of the human body on the whole.
Another key contributing factor is the lack of outdoor activity in which people used to indulge in their free time. Now that free time too is mostly spent in front of electronics and gadgets. When people used to indulge in outdoor activities the result was that they didn’t require separate set of exercise schedules to keep themselves in shape and young. Now the re-shifting of the life style is going to take some time and a lot of effort, so the alternative is that people opt for exercise schedules to keep themselves away from anti-aging problems.
When one exercises regularly, the body mechanisms get the rush of blood that is required for their proper working. They don’t require any additional help to keep their functions in shape. Once the internal organs of the body are working in the right condition, the aging process is going to slow down on its own. There will be no need for artificial measures to give you the fake appearance.
Exercising is going to ensure that you don’t just look young but feel young as well. In fact this is the real deal when it comes to the following any kind of anti aging process. It should be how you feel about yourself inside rather than how you look from the outside. If you are going to be healthy and in shape through natural procedures by exercising and all the associated things then the young outlook that you will be presenting is going to be much more appealing and attractive. The result is going to be a happy you from both the internal and a social aspect.
Most of all exercising is going to ensure that you are kept safe from a number of health related issues as well. Once you are going to be away from such problems, you aging process is going to slow down on its own. Furthermore, add the combination of a healthy body and healthy mind and the overall personality that you will have is going to be a magnet for your loved ones and everyone else as well. In case you are one of those who don’t life to sweat it out alone, then the best solution for this situation is that you opt for some form of group exercise like yoga, plates etc. Another way of doing this is to join some club that is involved in outdoor group activities. Not only will you get your needed exercise but you will be expanding your social circle as well and that good company is also going to positively contribute to a younger you.
The body is a complex fine-tuned system which is affected by various factors from the food which is consumed to the quality of the air in the surrounding environment. When the delicate balance is disrupted, diseases occur. This is the case with the pH balance of the body as well. High acidity, which is defined with pH well below 7, should be prevented effectively. One of the best ways is to drink enough water.
The Optimal pH Balance
There are many reasons why high acidity can occur in the body. This can be due to a medical condition, the intake of certain medications or diet which is poor in nutrients. When the pH balance is distorted, this can lead to constant fatigue, headaches, stomach discomfort and muscle ache. The bones and joints can be adversely affected. The risk of certain diseases and especially ones which affect the kidneys, liver and lungs becomes higher.
Usually, it is perfectly possible to keep the pH balance in the body just by adopting a healthy lifestyle. When you eat healthy hoods and get enough rest, your body will be in good condition and you will feel good too. The most important thing of all is to drink sufficient amounts of clean water. Water not only helps to make the body more alkaline. It removes all toxins from it as well. The overall result is improved functioning of all organs and systems of the body. You will also have lower risk of all kinds of diseases including chronic ones like diabetes type 2 and arthritis and extremely dangerous ones like cancer.
Healthy Water Consumption
The main question is how to get the best results through drinking water. The choice of water is really important. It must be perfectly clean. You should consider drinking spring water or water which has undergone special filtering or purification.
How about alkaline mineral water? It can be quite beneficial for lowering existing acidity in the body. It can help to prevent the problem as well. However, you must not overuse it because the higher concentration of alkaline ions may cause the kidneys to work harder. You can drink alkaline water often, but it is not recommended for daily consumption.
How much water should you drink per day? Most doctors recommend between 2 and 3 liters for men and from 1.6 to 2.2 liters for women. Generally, if you can drink from 8 to 10 glasses of water a day, this will help you to prevent acidity in the body. It is possible to count other fluids as well, but it is best to go for pure drinking water only. It will bring the most benefits. You should stay away from carbonated drinks and from ones which have added sugar as they are not healthy at all. If you are not used to drinking the optimal amount of water, you should start increasing your daily intake steadily to reach the desired level.
Overall, you can go a long way by drinking enough water every day. You will keep the optimal pH balance in the body and stay healthy and strong.
There are all sorts of topical treatments which you can use to keep your skin and nails healthy. However, diet is even more important. When you get healthy nutrition with optimal amounts of vitamins, minerals and other valuable compounds, you will feel and look your best. You just have to ensure that you pick the right foods for top results.
Healthy Diet Benefits
Did you know that the skin is the largest organ of the human body? Everything which you eat had great impact on it. When it is properly nurtured, it will be smooth, even and radiant. The risk of problems such as dark spots, pimples, blemishes and wrinkles will be much lower. In the same way, you will have strong, smooth and fabulously looking nails if you get the nutrients which are needed for their proper growth with the food that you eat.
When your diet is healthy, you will enjoy healthy and beautiful skin and nails at all times. You will feel better too. You will have energy and good mood. These are essential for the overall health and for your looks as well.
Eating the Right Foods
What exactly does healthy nutrition involve? The most important thing is to include the right foods in your diet. Vitamin A, which is essential for the normal functioning of the skin cells, is found in low-fat dairy products and fish. Carotene, which is transformed into vitamin A by the human body, is found in carrots, pumpkins and squash. Vitamin C is essential for the production of collagen which keeps the skin and nails strong and gives them their natural radiance. It is found in kiwis, citrus fruit and peppers. Vitamin E protects the cells from free-radical damage which is responsible for all signs of ageing. It is found in nuts, seeds and avocados.
Zinc is an essential mineral for repairing skin and nail damage. It is found in nuts and seeds, leafy greens and lean beef. Selenium helps to protect the cells from oxidative stress and damage. It is found in whole-grain breads, pasta and cereals, in chicken and in Brazil nuts. Iron prevents nail brittleness and improper growth and shaping. It is found in beans, poultry, egg yolk, spinach and nettle.
While vitamin C and E are essential for preventing free-radical damage and ageing, there are other antioxidants which will contribute to their effect. These are found in berries and green tea. The omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are necessary for ensuring that the skin and nail cells get properly nurtured. They are found in fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel and in flaxseed oil. The use of healthy natural oils for preparing food such as olive oil will also give you health benefits. They help to keep moisture inside the skin so that it is plump, smooth and radiant.
Finally, healthy nutrition for skin and nail care is about cooking foods in a healthy way. It is best to consume fruit, vegetables and nuts raw. When you cook food, you should use stewing and roasting rather than frying. Add as little fat as possible.
Many men and some women have to deal with ingrowing hair literally every week. The problem can have a great negative impact on the overall condition of the skin, on the looks and on the self-confidence. Complications such as acute inflammation can also occur. That is why the issue must be addressed timely and resolved fully with appropriate treatment. Find out what you have to do to get rid of this problem.
Complete Treatment
In most cases, the ingrowing hairs find their way to the surface of the skin without any special treatment. You simply need to keep your daily face washing and showering routine. The dead skin cells which block the way of the hair will go away and it will come out. The natural resolution to the problem typically takes a day or two.
If the problem persists after a few days and the bump is getting bigger, you should visit the office of a dermatologist to receive medical treatment. The doctor will use a needle or make a small cut with a scalpel to take the hair out. The treatment is perfectly safe and does not cause pain or serious discomfort. The risk of scarring is extremely low.
In case the skin is inflamed, the doctor will prescribe topical antibiotic treatment. When the inflammation is severe, oral antibiotic may have to be taken for dealing with the problem completely. If the area is painful, topical steroid medication can be prescribed for quick and effective relief.
Effective Prevention
You need to take special measures in order to get rid of ingrowing hair for good. The first step involves the use of a more effective and safer method for hair shaving or removal. If you shave, you should use razor technology which first picks the hairs up and then does the cutting. You must avoid shaving too close to the skin. After you are done, you should apply an appropriate product for soothing the skin and for keeping the pores open. If you wax, you should consider laser hair removal instead. With this procedure, the hairs are removed at a deeper level of the follicles and this slows down their regrowth and reduces the risk of ingrowing.
Frequent cleaning of the skin with a scrub is equally important as it works to remove the dead skin cells which block the hairs’ way out. You have to use a product which is suitable for your skin type and does not cause irritation. The optimal frequency depends on the severity of the problem and the condition of the skin. Sometimes, weekly cleaning with a scrub is sufficient while in other cases it has to be done every day.
It is best if skin cleaning is combined with the use of a retinoid-based cream. The cream provides for even more effective exfoliation. It reduces the risk of hyperpigmentation as well. It helps to keep the skin clear and smooth. You should ask your dermatologist to recommend a cream which is highly effective for preventing ingrowing hair yet fairly gentle to the skin.
With the right treatment and care, you will never have to worry about ingrowing hair again.
Over the past decades, the number of skin cancer cases has grown dramatically. In many countries, this is the most common type of cancer. The main cause of this condition is frequent exposure to the sun. Find out how the process works.
UV Damage to Skin Cells
The sun produces ultraviolet radiation which reaches out planet. The most harmful rays of radiation are blocked by the atmosphere and the sunlight which reaches through it is crucial for the life on this planet. Generally, it is good for the health to soak up some sun. However, when you get too much of it, this can be quite dangerous.
In case of frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, the UV rays can cause damage to the skin cells. More specifically, the UV radiation damages the cells’ DNA. This is how healthy cells are transformed into cancer cells. The cancer cells multiply and form a malignant tumor. If the tumor is not treated timely, skin cancer can spread to other parts of the body via the lymphatic system.
It is important to note that manmade sources of UV radiation can also cause damage to cellular DNA and consequently skin cancer. The list includes tanning beds and certain types of professional equipment. While professionals wear protective gear to shield themselves from UV radiation, it is a personal choice to stay away from tanning beds for the purpose of protecting your health.
Sun Exposure and the Types of Skin Cancer
Recent research studies have found that different types of UV damage are responsible for the different types of skin cancer. Regular exposure to the sun over a long period of time leads to cumulative damage to the cells. The cumulative damage causes basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma. These types of skin tumors typically appear on the parts of the body which are directly exposed to the sun and get the most UV light such as the face. People who work outside and professional and amateur athletes who train outdoors are at higher risk of developing these types of skin cancer. The people who love sunbathing and do it regularly fall into this category as well.
Melanoma, which is the deadliest type of skin cancer, is more likely to be caused by severe sunburns incurred at a young age rather than by exposure to the sun on a regular basis over a years and decades. Researchers have discovered that the sunburns suffered during childhood and adolescence put people at greater risk of melanoma. The malignant melanoma growths can appear on any part of the skin including the inner thighs and the pubic area which normally do not get directly exposed to sunlight.
It is important to take all possible steps for lowering your risk of skin cancer. These include staying in the shade during the hours of the day with most intensive sunlight and applying sunscreen on all exposed parts of the skin when going outside. You should wear a hat and a pair of sunglasses for complete protection. Regular skin exams are also among the main preventive measures.
The purpose of an organic cleanse is to help the body to get rid of all the toxins and impurities which clog it. It is true that there are natural bodily functions which are responsible for this, but their effectiveness can be adversely effected by lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of proper rest and high stress levels. That is why many women choose to go for cleansing. It has a beneficial effect on all organs and systems of the body including the skin. It rejuvenates the body and slows down the aging process. In order to get top results, you need to select the right cleanse.
Comparing Cleanse Options
There are two main types of cleanses that you need to consider. The first one is colon cleansing. It typically involves drinking special teas and taking supplements. In some cases, the teas are replaced with enemas. This treatment can produce good results, but it puts a considerable amount of stress on the body.
The more popular option as present is the use of cleanses which are based on fruits, vegetables and small amounts of dietary fiber. These come in the form of juices which you get to drink every day. The juices are made from organic ingredients only. They must not contain any additives or preservatives.
There are different levels of cleansing which you can choose from with the juices. The highest level involves drinking only the juice and water without consuming any other food. This regimen is typically kept for five to ten days. The intermediate level, which is preferred by most people, includes the consumption or raw fruit and vegetables as well. The basic level is about quitting one or more types of foods which are not healthy for the set period of time, eating more fruit and vegetables and drinking the juice. You can readily remove processed foods, meat, sugary foods or dairy products from your diet or all of them together.
Making the Best Choice
Since juices are the more effective organic cleanses, you should focus extensively on them. You have to select the product which is ideal for you. You must confirm that all ingredients are organic. The use of organic ingredients must be properly certified. You should look into the beneficial compounds present in the juice. These must include vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber. The latter is really important for regulating the processes in the body and for cleansing the gastrointestinal system. It can help to lower cholesterol and blood sugar levels.
You have to check how the beneficial compounds which come from the fruit, vegetables and other ingredients are preserved. Pay close attention to the processing of the ingredients. It is best if the pulp goes into the bottles as well since it is extremely rich in nutrients. Make sure that you know how long you can keep the juices for in the fridge.
Finally, once you select the right organic cleanse product, you should prepare a program which to follow. It must be based on your level of experience in cleansing, on your overall health condition and on your goals.
In case the body grows faster than the skin can tolerate, the fibers in its middle layer, the dermis, break. This is how stretch marks appear. They are typically long and thin and their color ranges from white, light pink and silver to purple and blue. The main causes of this dermatological problem are body weight increase during pregnancy, body building and adolescence. The big question is how to get rid of these imperfections. Decide on the best treatment for stretch marks after considering the different methods used at present.
The Main Options
The homemade treatments for stretch marks enjoy great popularity because they are simple and cheap to make and easy to use. Whether you use olive oil, lemon juice or some mixture of ingredients, you can expect some improvements but not complete removal of the skin imperfections.
While there are various over-the-counter creams, gels and lotions, you should focus on the ones with ingredients which have been extensively tested and proven to improve the skin. The products which contain hyaluronic acid can provide major improvement to the smoothness and plumpness of the affected skin areas. This is because this active ingredient works effectively to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin.
The topical treatments based on retinoid can also produce very good results. They not only stimulate collagen growth, but also cell turnover. As a result, the skin becomes smoother, softer and tighter fairly quickly.
The laser treatments for stretch mark removal are becoming more widely used. The laser works to break the existing bonds in the skin and to stimulate the growth of new and healthy layers at the same time. The treatment is highly effective and typically produces great results. The number of sessions depends on the size, age and depth of the marks.
Chemical peels and dermabrasion are also used for removing stretch marks. They both work to remove the topmost layer of the skin so that a new healthier, stronger and smoother layer can grow in its place. Dermabrasion is gentler compared to chemical peels. Both produce satisfactory results.
For stretch marks in the abdominal area, abdominoplasty can help. This is a surgical procedure which is designed to make this part of the body thinner, firmer and smoother. The comprehensive results are usually quite good, but another pregnancy or weight gain will reduce them considerably.
Making a Choice
It is up to you to pick the best treatment for stretch marks in your particular situation. You should consider the overall condition and health of your skin. You should also have an idea of how sensitive it is especially to chemicals and laser treatment. You have to consider your budget as well. The cost of the treatment is an important factor which should not be underestimated.
Finally, in order for the stretch mark treatment to produce the best possible results, you have to start it as early as possible. This is because older stretch marks are more difficult to reduce and to get rid of. Similarly, even though things such as exercise, healthy foods and drinking plenty of water are not therapies, they will contribute immensely to the effectiveness of the chosen treatment.
