5 tips for healthier skin

Skin care: 5 tips for healthy skin

Good skin care — including sun protection and gentle cleansing —

can keep your skin healthy and glowing for years to come.

Don't have time for intensive skin care? Pamper yourself with the basics. Good skin care and healthy lifestyle choices can help delay the natural aging process and prevent many skin problems. Get started with these five no-nonsense tips.

1. Protect yourself from the sun

The most important way to take care of your skin is to protect it from the sun. A lifetime of sun exposure can cause wrinkles, freckles, age spots and rough, dry skin. Sun exposure can also cause more-serious problems, such as skin cancer. For the most complete sun protection:

• Avoid the sun between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. This is when the sun's rays are the strongest.
• Wear protective clothing. Cover your skin with tightly woven long-sleeved shirts, long pants and wide-brimmed hats. You might also opt for special sun-protective clothing, which is specifically designed to block ultraviolet rays while keeping you cool and comfortable.
• Use sunscreen when you're in the sun. Apply generous amounts of broad-spectrum sunscreen 30 minutes before going outdoors and reapply every two hours, after heavy sweating or after being in water.

2. Don't smoke

Smoking makes your skin look older and contributes to wrinkles. Smoking narrows the tiny blood vessels in the outermost layers of skin, which decreases blood flow. This depletes the skin of oxygen and nutrients, such as vitamin A, that are important to skin health. Smoking also damages collagen and elastin — fibers that give your skin its strength and elasticity. In addition, the repetitive facial expressions you make when smoking — such as pursing your lips when inhaling and squinting your eyes to keep out smoke — may contribute to wrinkles.
If you smoke, the best way to protect your skin is to quit. Ask your doctor for tips or treatments to help you stop smoking.

3. Treat your skin gently

Daily cleansing and shaving can take a toll on your skin, so keep it gentle:

• Limit bath time. Hot water and long showers or baths remove oils from your skin. Limit your bath or shower time, and use warm — rather than hot — water.
• Avoid strong soaps. Strong soaps can strip oil from your skin. Instead, choose mild cleansers.
• Shave carefully. To protect and lubricate your skin, apply shaving cream, lotion or gel before shaving. For the closest shave, use a clean, sharp razor. Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it.
• Pat dry. After washing or bathing, gently pat or blot your skin dry with a towel so that some moisture remains on your skin.
• Moisturize dry skin. Find a moisturizer that fits your skin type and makes your skin look and feel soft.

4. Eat a healthy diet

A healthy diet can help you look and feel your best. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. The association between diet and acne isn't clear — but research suggests that a diet rich in vitamin C and low in fats and carbohydrates may promote younger looking skin.

5. Manage stress

Uncontrolled stress can make your skin more sensitive and trigger acne breakouts and other skin problems. To encourage healthy skin — and a healthy state of mind — takes steps to manage your stress. Set reasonable limits, scale back your to-do list and make time to do the things you enjoy. The results may be more dramatic than you expect.

How to Choose a Professional Wedding Make Up Artist

By ProWriter1, eHow Member

(Source: eHow.com)

 

Almost every "bride to be" has a list of things to do, things to remember, things not to forget and things that need to be done in order to get those things that she remembered she would not forget! Ahhhhh! No wonder brides are so harrowed and stressed out by their wedding day. It's all so confusing! Who can blame Cinderella for getting a complete "make over" by her fairy godmother prior to her big day? After all, a wedding is carefully planned and orchestrated, right down to the perfect wedding gown, to whom will sit next to Aunt Martha at the wedding, what music will be played, what food will be served, who will be seated next to whom, who will take the pictures, and the list goes on. Most important is who will make the bride look her most radiant on her special day? Most brides will hire a professional make-up artist. A professional make-up artist may not be a fairy godmother, but she is important to the bride on her wedding day.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
   Thankfully, Cinderella had help from her fairy godmother who was able to give her a few helpful tips and "instant" beauty with just a swish of her magic wand. Oh, if only it were that easy. Every woman wants to look her best the day of her wedding, but not everyone has a fairy godmother like Cinderella. However, with the help of a professional make up artist, a bride can still look and feel like a princess whether she is going to a ball or getting married!
2. 
   Hiring a make up artist should be at the top of a brides list of "things to do."
   You have often heard the phrase, "she makes such a beautiful bride!" A make up artist might not have a magic wand, but he/she does have a wealth of knowledge and expertise on what is needed to create beauty and glamour. Check around when choosing a professional. Ask others who have seen their work if they are good. Look at their previous work. Do others have good things to say about the professional artist? Once you decide on a professional. Make an appoint prior to the wedding.
3. 
   Talk to the make up artist. She/he is there to listen to you and offer advice that will be helpful in getting the look you want for your wedding day. A good makeup artist should know how to draw out your strongest beauty features, and downplay your lesser ones with a minimal amount of makeup.
4. Ask the make up artist what products they use. Find out about prices. A good make-up artist is more than willing to give excellent service by showing what they can do to enhance beauty, but most important, they must be knowledgeable not only in beauty products but must be able to understand what a bride's desires are for her wedding day.
5. A bride has to feel comfortable with whom she is hiring. Once a good rapport has been established, never hesitate to ask questions. A good make-up artist is someone who will provide the best in customer service and will ensure quality and professionalism to the highest of standards.
