sunburnIf you’ve laid down a bit too much on the sun and you think you are experiencing sunburn, first smart thing to do is to visit your dermatologist office. If doctor decides your skin condition is not critical and does not require special treatment you can use our home after-sun repair recipe.

To cool down your burned pinky skin you’ll need to open up your fridge for yogurt. Smearing yogurt on your complexion can help un-burn your damage skin and rebuild the vital pH balance, so it restores faster. Use only plain, full-fat organic yogurt and let it sit on your skin until it warms up, rinse with water. It is good idea to repeat this treatment few times.

It is always better to prevent this unpleasant situation by using appropriate sunscreen. If you have extremely reactive skin try looking for sun blocks based on mineral ingredients such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Dr Hauschka makes exceptionally good mineral based sunscreens.

Home Based Skin Care

Filed under: beauty tips — admin @ 2:54 am

When it comes to skin care, you don’t need to head to your local cosmetics counter or to a dermatologist. You can often find home based skin care cures and remedies that not only cost little, but also provide numerous benefits. Here are some of the ways you care for your skin at home.

The first step to any skin care routine is cleansing. You should be washing your face in the morning as well as in the evening with a gentle soap-free cleanser. This should not be the same cleanser that you use for your body. In fact, you might simply want to rinse your skin with warm water to help remove excess oils and dirt.

To help your skin look more youthful, you can look to your refrigerator for home wrinkle cures. A simple egg white mask can help to tighten your pores as well as to reduce the appearance of fine lines. Simply whisking some egg whites together and applying them to your face (avoiding the eyes), allowing to dry and then rinsing away is all that you need to do.

For wrinkles, try using olive oil as a serum or applying cocoa butter to your skin. You can also make an exfoliating scrub with honey and sugar. Mix equal parts of both until you make a paste and then apply to any rough area on your skin. Rinse away to reveal clean and soft skin that doesn’t cost a fortune.

You can also use oatmeal and water to create a paste to slough away rough skin or as a mask to help rejuvenate a dull complexion. The acids in strawberries, papayas, and lemons can also help perk up your face, so try rubbing some of the juices on your skin for a fruit enzyme peel.

Depression and your skin condition

Filed under: Information — admin @ 3:04 pm

Depression
When you’re feeling down and out, you can barely look in the mirror, much less try to do anything to improve your appearance. But at a cellular level, your skin is suffering right along with you. As your body becomes depressed, your cells start to slow down, causing a multitude of problems, not the least of which, sallow and unhealthy skin.

As you begin to feel sad, you might start forgetting your skin care routine. You fall asleep without washing your face or applying your favorite lotions and potions. This results in skin damage due to dirt and chemical buildup. You might also begin to eat unhealthy foods (or not eat at all) which can slow down the cellular function and repair for your body.

If your body is depressed, the cells are not functioning at their highest capacity. In order to have healthy skin, there needs to be a constant turnover of skin cells. This way, the dead skin cells are pushed to the surface of the skin, while the newer skin cells emerge and showcase a brighter complexion. If your mind is not healthy, your cells can not turnover as easily as they should, leaving you with a dull appearance.

By taking a few moments to simply drink some water and to get a little exercise, you will be able to enhance the appearance of your skin as well as to begin to increase your moods. Exercise has been shown to not only improve blood flow to the skin, but also to encourage rapid cellular repair – this adds up to fewer wrinkles as well as more moisture in the skin itself.

Feeling depressed is something that everyone experiences at once point or another, but it doesn’t mean that you need to look unhealthy at the same time. You can do something about your depression and if you feel that you need more help, check with your doctor to see what options you have.

Darphin Jasmine Aromatic Care

Filed under: Products — admin @ 10:02 pm

Darphin Jasmine Aromatic CareDarphin Jasmine Aromatic Care is for use on mature skin (face, neck, chest areas) and combines aromatherapy and skin care. Approximately 5-6 drops of the essential oil applied to the face not only provides nourishment but a protective layer that keeps the skin from experiencing further moisture loss. Those looking to replace a youthful radiance and lessen the sings of aging are good candidate for this product. The product also improves elasticity.

Darphin Jasmine Aromatic Care comes in a frosted .5 oz jar. Applied daily, users have a chance to maintain a moisture balance in mature skin using natural plant based essential oils. Upon removing the cap, users are directed to deeply inhale the product’s aroma. Drops are then applied to the face via the fingertips and massaged outwardly and in a circular motion. This product is to be used in conjunction with other skin care products of the Darphin line.

While many skin care lines add fragrances to their products to increase their appeal to consumers, very few actually incorporate aromatherapy into the regimen. This product is for mature, dry skin that not only needs but can tolerate the application of oil on the face. Even though many essential oils tend to be rather light, this is a product that can still cause major problems for individuals who have pores that clog easily. Using natural products are a good choice for skin that cannot tolerate much in the way of concentrated age fighting treatments. As skin ages, it becomes thinner and thinner, making it much more difficult to find products that don’t cause some sort of adverse reaction. Many users enjoy being able to return to a skin care product that is simple and uncomplicated to use. Price comparison shopping can help find the best deal for this product but prices are likely to stay in the high level range.

Ingredients include: Jasmine essential wax, Rosewood and Orange essential oils, Rasperry Pip and Muscat oils, Avocado extracts.
