Detoxify Your Way To Health And Beauty

Sometimes your brain feels so sluggish that you can't even think clearly? How many times have you felt so tired that even climbing a single flight of stairs takes a lot from you?. How about those times when you felt so ugly that even your best outfit can't lift your mood? You have tried every known way to stay fit and searched every shelf in the health and beauty aisle for that wonder product that could revive you but still your effort is to no avail. Why not try looking inward for a solution? I am talking about detoxification.

Detoxification is the body’s natural way of neutralizing and eliminating toxins from the body. Toxins are anything that can potentially harm the body tissues. This includes waste products that result from normal cell activity and human made toxins that we are exposed to within our environment, food and water. The kidneys, liver, intestine, skin, lungs and blood work together to ensure that toxins are transformed chemically to less harmful compounds and excreted out of the body.

Detoxification is a wholistic approach to health and beauty. It encompasses everything from diet, fitness, and your sense of well-being. Try it for a weekend and start the new week with a renewed and more revived you. Detoxifying your way to health and beauty is possible with a few things which you could conveniently find in your home.

Dieting for detoxification is one of the best ways to help get harmful toxins out of the body. These foods will help remove environmental and dietary toxins from the body. Generally a detoxification diet is a short term diet that
-       -  Contains high fiber foods and water that eliminate toxins by increasing the frequency of bowel movement and urination.
-       -   Minimizes the amount of chemicals ingested.
-       -    Emphasizes foods that provide the vitamins, nutrients and antioxidants needed by the body for detoxification.

You can add exercise to your detoxification program to make it more effective and gainful. After undergoing a detoxification program it is advisable that you ease back into a healthier but less restrictive diet. 

Lots of benefit is derived from detoxification. These include increased concentration and clarity, improved energy, clearer skin, regular bowel movement and improved digestion.   
  
Poor sleep, pain, fatigue and indigestion can be signs of serious illness rather than as a result of toxins in the body. Therefore you are advised to see your doctor before starting a detoxification program.

The facts about Oily skin care



Simply put, oily skin is a result of excessive production of sebum, an oily substance that is naturally produced by the skin. When produced in excess sebum is bad as it leads to clogging of skin pores, resulting in accumulation of dead cells and hence formation of pimples and acne. This affects your looks negatively. Therefore knowing how to care for oily skin is very important.

The basic aim of oily skin care is to remove excess sebum or oil from the skin. However, oily skin care procedures should not lead to complete removal of oil. It should rather start with the use of a cleanser.  However, not all cleansers will work for one will work for another. You need a cleanser that contains salicylic acid i.e. a beta-hydroxyl acid that retards the rate of sebum production. Cleansing should be done twice a day or even more in hot and humid conditions.

Most of the oily skin care products are oil-free, however, it is always good to check the ingredients of the product, before you buy it. This is important especially if a product is marked as suitable for all skin types. The types of skin care product you buy also depend on the degree of oiliness of your skin. For extremely oily skin, only oily skin care products are suitable. Your oily skin care routine can include an alcohol based toner for an extremely oily skin. This is another step in your oily skin care routine i.e. just after cleansing. However, excessive toning can harm your skin.

The next step in your oily skin care routine can be a mild moisturizer. Again, the degree of oiliness of your skin determines whether you need to include this in your oily skin care routine or not. If you do decide to include a moisturizer, be sure to use one that is oil-free, wax-free and lipid-free. 

Getting an oily skin care product that is suitable for you may require you trying out a few. Skin care products with vitamin A and sulphur are advisable.
If don’t get your desired result from these simple tips, consult a dermatologist for more advice.

What Is Natural Skin Care?



Natural skin care refers to caring for your skin in a natural and chemical-free way. ‘Natural skin care’ advocates enabling the skin to take care of itself without any assistance from synthetic materials or chemicals. Natural skin care is about inculcating good habits in the way you lead your day to day life. A lot of natural skin care measures are actually the same as those for body care in general.
Here are some natural skin care measures. 

Drink a lot of water
Drinking about 8 glasses of water every day is very important. Water helps in flushing out the toxins from the body naturally. It helps in the overall upkeep of the body and promotes good health for all organs and not just the skin alone. 

General cleanliness
 Another inexpensive way of natural skin care is over all cleanliness.  Daily shower, wearing clean clothes and sleeping on a clean mattress and pillow are all part of general cleanliness. After all, clean skin, exercise and healthy eating habits are the keys to keeping the skin disorders at bay. 

Regular exercise
Exercise increases the flow of blood which helps in getting rid of body toxins and keeping you healthy.  Exercise also helps in beating stress which is the worst enemy of good health. Making regular physical exercise a part of your daily routine is very essential. 

Healthy food and eating habits
Healthy food and a healthy eating habit are recommended for natural skin care.  Some types of food (e.g. oily foods) are known to cause acne and should be avoided as much as possible. Your diet should be a healthy mix of various nutrient providing foods. Raw fruits and vegetables are known to provide freshness to your body and help in getting rid of body toxins.

Good sleep
This is also an important instrument in maintaining good health and in beating stress. As a natural skin care measure, a good sleep delays slacking of skin. 

Beating stress
This is another natural skin care therapy. Stress causes overall damage to body and health. Drinking a lot of water, getting a sound sleep and exercising regularly has already been mentioned as stress busters. Listening to music and playing your favourite sport are also good ways to beat stress. 

Avoid excessive exposure to the sun
It is a fact that you cannot avoid contact with sunlight completely. However you can reduce the effect of the rays from the sun on your skin by wearing long sleeved clothes, hat and umbrella. Sunscreen lotions are also recommended. 

Beside all these, a lot of natural skin care products are available in the market. These include things like lavender oil, aloe Vera and many more which don’t have any side effects.

 One should not only look good and attractive when going out for social functions and work but should also look good anytime, anywhere and everyday always. Looking good goes beyond outfit. How healthy your system is and also how good looking your skin is should be put into consideration.


Follow the steps bellow to look good everyday.


1. Take at least a cup of water when you wake up every morning to flush your system.


2. EXERCISE. Exercising for about 10 - 15 minutes will keep the heart pumping and get you ready to face the day. You don't necessarily need to visit a gym to exercise. Jogging, skipping, sit - up or dancing for about 10 - 15 minutes will do.


3. Randomly apply some scrubs to your face and leave for about 10 minutes and wash with warm water or facial wash before taking your shower. Applying it in a random motion makes it easy to penetrate your skin and open up the spores.


4. Wear a good smile always and every day. Smiling elevates your mood and indicate a happy person.  Wearing a good smile makes you more attractive, increases blood flow through the arteries, helps to relieve stress and also boost the immune system. Smiling and laughing also help in weight loss...yes!. Researchers at Vanderbilt University calculate that 15 minutes of hearty laughter burns about 40 calories. Smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger.


Stay away from depression, stress and worry and look good by smiling.
