<div style="text-align: justify;">
In our Filipino culture, it is accepted, and we are not shocked, when acquaintances come up to us and say outright "you look fat!" or "you look old!" Surely we're used to it, but it may add into the growing popularity of anti-oxidant and anti-aging products around.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Who wouldn't want to look good and younger (than our age)? But wouldn't the more important question be, "do I feel good?" "Do I feel healthy?" "Why do I feel 'older' than my age?"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We usually correlate aging with the appearance of age-related and degenerative diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, alzheimers, and many more. Aside from products that try to delay outward appearance of aging, there are a lot of products that promote being able to move more, bike, go ballroom dancing, play with grandkids, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So it's not really about stopping the hands of time and living forever, isn't it? It's about being able to sustain a certain quality of life despite aging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So why do our bodies' age? There are 2 main schools of thought when it comes to aging:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Structural</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are several theories on aging that goes deep to the study of cells, but the 2 most popular are the 'wear and tear' theory where the changes in a person's body is the accumulation of its everyday use, like a machine that's brand new compared to one that is 10 years old, for example; and another popular one is the free-radical theory. Free radicals are atoms or molecules that has an unpaired electron (remember chemistry way back?) because of a chemical reaction. These reactions also occur in our cells and free radicals accumulate in our cells causing cellular damage - and speeds up the aging process. The accumulation of free radicals is further induced by our environment, e.g. industrial smoke, chemicals, pesticides, radiation, etc..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Genetic</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are also a number of theories that went further into the study of genes and DNA. Simply put, there are a number of genes that attribute to longer life spans of people. We see this theory in real life as traits in particular families, where children live around the same life span as their parents. What was interesting is a study on 'centenarians' done by Dr. Thomas Perls of Harvard School of Medicine. Centenarians, as the name suggests, are people who have lived for more than 100 years and Dr. Perls did his study in a geriatric rehabilitation center. Dr. Perls assumption, (as my assumption, and perhaps your assumption would be the same), is that the oldest residents of the center would be the 'sickest' residents. But this is not necessarily so, as it turns out. Those that live for a long time, e.g. >90 years, are those that are free of degenerative diseases while their contemporaries who have live relatively shorter life spans, have developed heart disease or type II diabetes at say, 40 or 50 years of age.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our genes don't necessarily predict our life span and the diseases that we will have. Our genes are not 'magic mirrors' that tell us neither the future nor a 'curse' on what's to come to us in the future. Rather, it's a tendency. The ability to live a long and healthy life is a combination of both our genetic disposition and our lifestyle, and the 2 schools of thought about aging shows this.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where there are free radicals there are anti-oxidants:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since these chemical reactions, free radicals, occur naturally in our bodies, our bodies also have natural systems that work to get rid of these free radicals. We call them antioxidant enzyme systems, there are 3 but the most popular that we all know is that of the enzyme, glutathione. Yes, our bodies produce our own anti-oxidants and one of them is glutathione. How it works is that the anti-oxidants are molecules with an atom that has an extra space for the electron from the free-radical.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there is actually a lot of science behind the different glutathione products, or rather, since we cannot use glutathione per se, substances that become or stimulate the production of glutathione in our bodies. And there are many more anti-oxidants; the most common are 3 vitamins, A, C and E.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One tip for those of us that are taking anti-oxidant supplements: Take different kinds of anti-oxidants because different anti-oxidants work at different parts of the body and anti-oxidants stimulate other anti-oxidants, especially those that are already in our bodies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another tip, is to remember that our environment adds more free-radicals to our bodies, let's be conscious about how we live, where we spend most of our time, what we breathe, what we use and what we eat - stay as natural (unprocessed) and organic as we can.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'll end with the growing popularity of stem cell treatment. Do they really help keep us younger?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stem cells are undifferentiated cells. It explains how a simple egg cell and sperm cell fertilize and develop into a complete human being. The beginning embryo is made up of stem cells, undifferentiated, just a small small ball of cells, and then these cells turn into brains cells, nerve cells, liver cells, blood, muscle, bone, skin, and so on. So the theory in stem cell treatment is that when we introduce stem cells into the body, for example for a person with nerve damage, these stem cells will turn into nerve cells that help regenerate the damaged nerves. Imagine the impact this will bring to people with degenerative disease or traumas! The treatments are still experimental, so at this time, our best chance is still for prevention of degenerative diseases in the first place.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These insights help us catch a glimpse into the 'secrets' of keeping young. And the secret is that is it not about "stopping the hands of time" but more so living a full and healthy life, preventing degenerative diseases, as we grow older and older.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Collagen is a protein that is naturally produced by our bodies and is needed to keep them running like clockwork. There is an old saying that youth is wasted on the young, and this is certainly true in the case of collagen. What many young people don't realise when they are abusing that soft skin of theirs and not taking care of their bones, joints and muscles is that they only have a short window of time with this optimum health and that it starts going way downhill all too soon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">From around the age of 25 the natural production of collagen starts to slow down, by around 0.5% a year. This may not sound like too much to worry about, but consider that by the time you hit the big 4-0, you have 30% less collagen than you actually need, and this makes itself known through lines on the skin, creaking joints and increasingly aching muscles after doing things you have been doing for years with little after-effects. Welcome to good old world of getting older!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Having a healthy, balance diet and taking a good quality collagen supplement can repair the damage by replenishing the stock of collagen, as well as stimulating the body into starting to produce its own again. When it comes to selecting what supplement to take, you want pure marine collagen in a powdered or granulated form. Not only is this the closest to human collagen, but taken in this form it gets to work quicker than any other. Also, being pure, it doesn't contain other ingredients that you may not even want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Pure marine collagen taken in a drink will get into your bloodstream quicker and more effectively than any other method and get to work internally almost immediately. The speed that you will see results depends on several factors: age, collagen depletion and metabolism will all make a difference. It's only common sense that someone of 35 will see quicker results than someone of 55, as the collagen stock will be less depleted and the production rate will also be higher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">While marine collagen may be more expensive than others, you have to remind yourself that this is the one that will turn back the clock and restore the energy and vitality that you thought was gone forever. Not to mention the smooth skin and youthful glow that you also thought was gone for good.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">But remember, this is only part of the fight against ageing. Looking after yourself is a full-time job.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-69338126670515283812012-07-26T17:17:00.000-07:002012-08-08T09:54:13.570-07:003 Tips To Having a Younger Looking Face<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">We humans are typically vain. Admit it, it makes you feel good when other people comment on how attractive you are. While it is true that each one of us is blessed with a physical appearance that's uniquely beautiful from others', society has long set a standard we all like to meet in order to be called by many as good-looking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Most people associate attractiveness with youth. This is the number one reason why people strive to look young. Celebrities, for example, are known to spend thousands of dollars on products and surgery just to keep their bodies and faces young-looking.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Not everyone can afford to undergo plastic surgery or even just well-known facial creams that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars. However, this doesn't mean that we regular folks can no longer regain our youthful appearance even as we age.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Here are 3 tips to having a younger looking face without the help of high-priced face creams or plastic surgery:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">1. Take good care of your skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Our skin loses its natural ability to retain moisture as we age. Collagen and elastin, which contribute to our skin's firmness and elasticity, are produced less and less by the body, causing the skin on our face to sag and look tired and worn out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">To help our skin retain moisture, it is important to follow a good skin care regimen. A complete skin care regimen includes - but is not limited to - a facial cleanser, toner, and moisturizer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Choose a gentle cleanser that is effective enough to wash away dirt but not too strong that it strips away vital nutrients your skin needs. Apply a toner after cleansing your face, and then moisturize.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">A lot of people swear by this routine, and you should see great improvements when you start getting into this important skin care habit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">2. Protect your skin from the sun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Most of the time, the damaging effects of too much sun exposure are irreversible. Do not wait until you get wrinkles, fine lines, and, dark spots because you failed to wear sunscreen protection when out and about during the day.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When outdoors, try not to stay under the direct heat of the sun, but if you really have to, make sure to slather a generous amount of sunblock on your face and body.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">3. Take care of your eyes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Our eyes are what people usually notice first about our face, so it's vital to pay attention to our eyes if we want to stay young-looking. Many may not realize it but dark under eye circles can make you look older than gray hair or bad skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">While some of us get dark under eye circles at one time or another, there are others who face this cosmetic problem in the long term.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">To get rid of dark under eye circles, invest in a good under eye cream. Know that "good" does not necessarily mean expensive, and there are brands out there that can erase not only dark circles, but fine lines and wrinkles as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The tricks to having a younger looking face are fairly easy to follow. Throw in a healthy diet and exercise and you'll have that youthful glow you have always wanted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Attentive nail care keeps them looking healthy and attractive. Your nails should always look well cared for since they will always be in the eye of everyone else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Unfortunately, most people are critical and will form an opinion of you based on little things like the appearance of your nails. However, most women realize just how important nail care is to a complete and successful beauty regimen. Follow these 5 important tips to get healthy, strong nails.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">1. Calcium Is Crucial For Nail Strength</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Calcium is an important nutrient to keep your nails strong and sturdy. Drinking milk and consuming other calcium-rich foods not only stimulates nail growth, it also adds to the overall health of your body as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Incorporate foods like real cheese, spinach, and yogurt into your diet on a daily basis to provide enough calcium for your body and the general health of your fingernails and cuticles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">2. Hydration Is Key For Optimal Nail Health</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Drinking plenty of fresh water and staying hydrated is a big part of good nail care. Almost everyone knows how detrimental dehydration is to the body in general. However, it also affects the strength and resilience of your nails and cuticles. Good, clean water helps to prevent them from breaking and chipping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">3. Iron Is Essential In Getting Long, Beautiful Fingernails</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Iron plays a crucial role in getting long, beautiful fingernails. Without enough sufficient iron, nails may develop ridges and appear somewhat round. This leads to bothersome hangnails and unattractive white spots.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">In order to get an ample supply of iron into your diet and maintain smooth healthy nails, you must consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, poultry, eggs, artichokes and fresh salmon.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">4. Make Sure You Moisturize Daily</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Your cuticles need the same amount of attention that your nails get. Maintaining healthy cuticles is naturally a part of daily nail care too. Your nails and cuticles should ideally stay moisturized around-the-clock.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Keep both your nails and cuticles adequately moisturized by applying cuticle cream every day. This will allow them to grow beautifully. Dry cuticles are not only unhealthy, but are very unsightly as well. Also, gently push your cuticles back, rather than entirely removing them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">5. Choosing A Proper File To Achieve The Best Results</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When it comes to filing your nails the right way, it is important to pick the right nail file to achieve the best results.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Instead of using emery boards to file your nails, a better choice is a soft nail file, which will be much gentler and softer. Often times, emery boards can be too rough on nails. They may even cause a nail to break, rather than filing it. Always use the right tools to efficiently keep your nails intact and damage-free.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-82803002136804094382012-06-05T17:16:00.000-07:002012-08-08T09:54:23.054-07:00Honey Face Mask<div style="text-align: justify;">

Besides, modern scientists have also conducted numerous researches which have shown that honey has certain properties that are indeed valuable for healthy skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Summer means hot and humid and for a woman that can spell disaster when it comes to your hair. Women are partial to their hair and it's health and if you have dry, frizzy hair then the humidity can only make it worse. Brazilian smoothing treatments have been all the rage in the last few years and for good reason. Women are paying good money for better results that last a long time compared to regular keratin treatments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Purpose</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The purpose of a Brazilian Blowout is smooth shiny hair that is manageable and radiant. Through the use of formaldehyde and other aldehyde formulas hair is tamed, smooth and frizz free. However you can still flat iron, curl or give it body should you choose to do so.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">How Does It Work</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">According to brazilianblowout.com the smoothing treatment forms a protective coating around the hair sealing in the cuticle to produce a nice shiny mane. When a Brazilian treatment is performed it is first shampooed than the product is applied. It is heated up with a flat iron at high temperature and this process is repeated several times to seal the product into the hair shaft. After about 60-90 minutes your hair is shiny. smooth, straight and ready for whatever.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">What is Keratin</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Keratin is a naturally occurring protein in the hair that forms the bond in the hair shaft. Keratin comprises roughly 88% of the hairs makeup so if it is not taken care of properly then there is a break in the bond. Keratin treatments seal that bond and allow the hair to be one solid smooth unit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Most people don't know this but the hair on your head is already dead once it comes out of the follicle in the skin. So to maintain healthy hair the scalp needs to be healthy along with a good clean diet. Everything affects your hair including poor diet, medications and illness. Maintaining a healthy body and high protein diet ensures your hair is as healthy as it can be.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Aftercare</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Brazilian Blowout does require you use their acai aftercare products to maintain a smooth, frizz-free manageable experience for up to 12 weeks. The reason for this is BB products do not contain sulfate which is prominent in many of the hair care products available today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Sodium Lauryl Sulfate</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Sulfates are prominent in most hair care products, body washes and soaps especially shampoo as they are a detergent that produces the "lather" effect. The reason this is bad for your hair regarding brazilian blowout is that sulfates strip away dirt, oils and chemicals as well as hair color and other chemical process on the hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">So naturally if you have a Brazilian Blowout treatment done and don't use sulfate free shampoo you are going to shorten the life of your treatment which is going to cost you money. Go with sulfate free products that rely on mostly coconut and palm oils which are less harsh on the hair and skin.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The Maintenance</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">After a Brazilian smoothing treatment the result is a smoother, straighter and more radiant head of hair. We have see this process last up to 4 months but usually averages about 3 months. Our clients report a much longer time frame using the BB products versus other brands. In fact our most recent customer did not use the brazilian blowout products and her treatment lasted just 8 weeks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Press</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Brazilian keratin treatments have gotten a bad wrap as of late and this is partly due to the formaldehyde debate with regard to Brazilian Blowout. In a nutshell they got into trouble because they claimed their treatment was "formaldehyde free" when in fact it contained trace amounts of the chemical.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Formaldehyde</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Formaldehyde is a preservative found in everything from household cleaning products to the air you breathe on a daily basis. It has been researched and tested on lab animals as a possible carcinogen but no sufficient evidence has proven it causes cancer in humans. This potent chemical is essentially what gives keratin treatments their effectiveness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">When heated on the hair this gas is what is given off to cause possible breathing issues as well as eye and skin irritation. We at Creative Images Salon have never had an issues with a client in the 3 years we have been performing this treatment. In fact not one person has complained about the process other than slight eye irritation for a few minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Safety</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Brazilian Blowout states their smoothing treatment contains less than 2% formaldehyde and they recommend safety gear while performing this process. This means gloves, air purifying systems or fans to help circulate out the chemical gas as it is heated on the hair and a mask if you prefer. The treatment is more detrimental to the stylist than anyone else because they are inhaling the gas as it is given off of the hair and released into the air.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Brazilian Blowout ZERO Plus</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">ZERO plus is BB's answer to the formaldehyde debate as it is a formaldehye free treatment. It is 100% completely formaldehyde free according to brazilianblowout.com and this means no worries for those that are on the skeptical side.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Cost</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The cost of Brazilian Blowout original hair smoothing treatment is anywhere from $100-$400 depending on length of hair and amount of product that needs to be used. At Creative Images Salon we charge around $200 for short hair and $300-$350 for longer, thicker hair.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">The cost for the ZERO Plus is a little less, around $100-150 and takes about 60 minutes to perform.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Tips</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">It is best to have your color performed the same day or just prior to your Brazilian smoothing treatment. The reason for this is the treatment will actually seal in the color making it last longer. If you have the treatment done after your color it can fade and alter the chemical hair color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Always be sure your salon is a certified brazilian blowout salon and ask to see their certification</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">If you are seeing differences in your hair then go to the doctor and have some tests run to be sure your levels are in tact.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">There are some measures that you can take if you would like to get rid of your eye puffiness and lessen those symptoms that are associated to puffy eyes. The treatment for puffiness is very affordable and you can do it naturally and safely even while you are in the comforts of your home. Other tips that you can find useful are discussed below:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">Cures for Eye Puffiness</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Cold compress - Use a tiny bag containing some ice. Wrap this in a clean washcloth and put this over your closed eyes. Do the process over again until you notice the swelling to lessen.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Elevate the head - Use two or more pillows in order to keep your head elevated so that fluids will not pool below your eye. If you do this, you can expect the symptoms to be gone after two to six hours.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Potato/cucumber press - You can use either cucumbers or raw potatoes. Place the slices over your closed eyes within 15 to 30 minutes in order to lessen puffiness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Rose /witch hazel water eye press - You can use wool or cotton pad as your eye press. Soak this pad in either rose or witch hazel water. Put the soaked pads over your closed eyes within 15 to 20 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Eye exercises - Just move your eyes clockwise first before another counterclockwise movement for a single rotation. After this, move both your eyes in all the directions. This exercise is found to be good in lessening eye puffiness symptoms.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;">• Salt and hot water eye press - Combine one pint of hot water with one salt teaspoon. Soak some wool or cotton eye pads in this solution. Place the pads over closed eyes within 5 to 10 minutes. Once the pads turn cold, squeeze them out and do the process again so that you can relieve yourself of the discomfort caused by eye puffiness.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

This mostly includes the torso in men, but it tends to apply to all body hair in women. However, most people have some degree of hair on body. Removing this hair is common, and there are many different methods of doing so. They all fall into two main categories, though.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Epilation is the removal of hair at the roots. Methods of epilation include:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- waxing </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- epilators </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- tweezing </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- threading </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- laser treatments</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Waxing is the most common method of epilation. It involves spreading a hot wax or sugar solution on the skin where hair is to be removed, and then covering it with a piece of cloth. Rapidly removing the cloth in the opposite direction to the hair growth also removes most of the hairs at the root.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Devices called epilators also exist. These machines look like electric razors, but the rotating heads are full of mechanical tweezers instead of blades. Moving the rotating head over the skin removes hair at the roots by plucking it out.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Tweezing is typically used on small areas of the body. Many women tweeze their eyebrows or other unwanted facial hair. This method involves removing a single hair, or at most, a few hairs at a time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Threading is the use of rapidly moving pieces of thread or string to pull hair at the roots. It is commonly used to shape the eyebrows, but is an uncommon method for removing hair from other areas of the body. Typically, threading is only performed by aestheticians, since it takes practice to learn to do it correctly.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Laser treatments destroy the hair follicle permanently. However, they do not necessarily cause permanent hairlessness, since new follicles can grow. Most people treated with lasers experience a 90% reduction in hair growth in the treated area.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The main advantage of epilation is that it lasts longer than depilation. Depending on the rate of hair regrowth, smooth skin after epilation lasts 2-8 weeks. After 6-12 sessions, laser treatments cause permanent hair reduction. The main disadvantages include time, discomfort, and cost.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Depilation is the removal of hair at the surface of the skin. Methods of depilation include:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- shaving </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- depilatory creams </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">- abrasion</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The most common method of depilation is shaving. This can be done using a safety razor and shaving cream, or using an electric razor. Electric razors are typically used on dry skin, but some are made to be used on wet skin for those who prefer to shave in the shower.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Depilatory creams dissolve the hair at the surface of the skin. They do not penetrate the follicle, so the root of the hair remains intact, just as with shaving. Typically, the cream is spread over the area being treated, left for several minutes, and then washed away, taking the hair with it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Abrasion has been posited as a possible method of hair removal. This includes products that are rubbed on the surface of the skin with the intention of removing hair. However, an abrasive that is harsh enough to remove hair is also harsh enough to cause damage to the skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The advantages of depilation are that it is quick and painless. The major disadvantage is that the hair grows back quickly. On people with light skin and dark hair, depilation can also leave dark spots where the roots of the hair can be seen under the skin.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-69171197792402888012012-02-08T17:13:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:13:55.660-07:00An Overview of Electrolysis Hair Removal<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Electrolysis hair removal is the practice of removing hair from a person's body through electrical means. When applying this method, the effects are almost permanent. In the U.S., it is the only means of permanent hair removal that is accepted by the Food and Drug Administration. It includes a number of treatments or steps to be completed, and is done through injecting a needle probe into your hair follicle, allowing the electrical current to flow through it. Any area of your body except the inside of the ears and nose can have hair removed through this method.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">There are basically three types of electrolysis procedures. The first is called galvanic electrolysis, and it damages the hair follicle through creating a small quantity of sodium hydroxide (NaCl), a chemical used in making soap and removing clog in drains. The damage caused is enough to avert the follicle from growing hair again.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The next common method is overheating the follicle through the procedure known as thermolysis. The blend technique combines the first two to attain the same outcome in a short period of time. This short span of time can be fairly valuable as electrolysis hair removal is a very time-consuming procedure. The electrolysis needle should stay in the hair follicle for several minutes, and each hair needs to be removed this way. Even a small area of hair follicles can take several hours, depending on the number or amount of hair that needs to be removed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Pros</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The method remains the most effective method of permanent hair removal available.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">It is also able to help a broader range of people compared to laser hair removal. For example, while particular skin colors may dissuade people from removing their hair through lasers, electrolysis damages the hair follicle instead of the pigment of the hair.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">People with any form of hair or skin can use this treatment.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Cons</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The tiresome process of electrolysis hair removal may be its major disadvantage.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The cost is anywhere from hundreds to thousands of dollars, depending on the amount of hair that needs to be removed.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">It is important that the patient have undergone numerous treatments, no matter how little or how much hair is being removed, because of the recurring way in which your hair develops from its root.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Localized swelling and redness are common after the removal process.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Skin discolorations and scabbing are likely in a short period of time term after the procedure as well.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Some people are worried about the safety of the procedure and may also be worried that the procedure is painful. Unlike newer procedures, electrolysis is a method that has been applied for more than a hundred years. It is proven to be safety by many experts around the world, especially if it is practiced by a properly trained or skilled technician, while there remains some fear about the safety of laser procedures. Many experts also said that new equipment and techniques greatly cut the amount of uneasiness that many people experience during the procedure.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-49611339613344333232012-02-07T17:11:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:12:37.914-07:00Express Your Style With 2012 Hair Color Ideas<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Have you found yourself being in the middle of 2012, but your hair color still remains the same as last year's? For a more stylish and unique appearance, hair color ideas from this season are precisely what you need. There are plenty of ideas that can even turn you into the trendsetter of the year. Creative options like cool and elegant monochromes or bolder color combos will give a dramatic effect on your overall appearance. So just take your time in browsing these new hair color ideas and find one that suits your taste.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">This year, your options won't be limited to the same old blondes or brown tones. It's fun to express your personality through unique color choices for your hair. To get that stylish look, you don't need to always follow the latest trends. Remember that you want to be a trendsetter; this means that it is up to you to set a new and unique style going so others will follow you. Consider bold tones or an elegant alternative to freshen up your look. However, first and foremost, make sure that you're comfortable with the changes you are committing to.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">There are two options on how you can switch your hair color: have a professional do it or choose the do-it-yourself way. Coloring hair on your own may cost less but sometimes the result can be far from satisfying, especially if you have minimum knowledge on hair coloring. On the other hand, a professional would know exactly how to best amp-up your hairdo. He or she will be able to mix the colors in the right proportion and know how long the color should stay in your hair to achieve that cool look. Besides, hiring a pro will help you avoid hair damage.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">You may be the type of person who loves all-in-one hair color products. But can the resulting hairdo steal people's attention? Well, with a subtle trick you can make yourself the center of the attention without compromising practicality. Choose colors with rich pigments such as salmon pink, sun-kissed copper, or even blue-silver. With the touch of a professional, these monochromes will take your hair to a whole new level.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">If you are daring enough to mix colors, glossy colored highlights will be worth a try. This hue is able to create an elegant effect to your hair. Ombre hair colors can also be a great choice if you want to stand out from the crowd, as the dip dye effect will give you a stunning effect. Blend these colors with your natural shade and use contrasting color to dip dye the tips of the hair to achieve the best coloring result.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-68896776988154783592012-02-06T17:11:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:11:41.991-07:00Natural Detangling Shampoo<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">I cannot tell you how many times I've tried a detangling shampoo and closed my eyes and dreamed for the comb to just glide through my hair. Then the nightmare begins with about 15 minutes of pulling and yanking.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">It all started back in 1995 when I decided to where my hair natural (afro). I stopped using relaxers and straighteners. Several reasons I chose to go natural were relaxers were damaging to my hair, I saved money and it was low maintenance. But there was a problem I began having recently and it was tangled hair after washing. I never had this problem and couldn't understand why in 2012, I would begin to hate washing my hair. Being an African-American woman I am afforded the luxury of not having to wash my hair every day, thank God. When it was time to wash my hair I would procrastinate terribly. So what can I do to make this easy and painless?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">I did a little web search and came across a recipe for a detangling shampoo. It contained all natural ingredients like marshmallow root, burdock root and castile soap. Being who I am, I came up with my own version of this shampoo. I added coconut oil, castor oil, glycerin and African black soap. Here's the recipe:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Ingredients:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">For the shampoo</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1 bar of castile soap</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">African Black Soap</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">6 cups of water</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">For detangling</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">½ cup of Marshmallow Root</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">½ cup of Burdock Root</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2 cups of water</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Other Equipment You'll Need:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">grater</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">large sauce pan or stock pot</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Instructions:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1. Shred your soap with the shredder. I used Kirk's Original Coco soap because it was cheaper than Dr. Bronner's.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2. Boil 6 cups of water. Add two cups of soap flakes. I used 1 cup of castile soap and 1 cup of black soap. Stir the mixture, and the soap flakes should start melting. Turn off the heat and let the mixture sit there for an hour or so.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">3. Boil the 2 cups of water, remove from heat and add the marshmallow root and burdock root. Let it sit for about an hour and strain. You will end up with a "tea" that you will mix in with the shampoo. Let it cool and pour into empty shampoo bottles or bottles with a pump.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">4. I mixed a teaspoon each of castor oil and coconut oil for moisture.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Results:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The mixture is a bit loose but there was amazing lather. I didn't get the glide I wanted but there was less tangling. I would suggest using a conditioner after because my hair was a little hard or too clean, probably because of the black soap. This can also be used as a body wash.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 100%; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal; "><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-64830744210009269642012-02-05T17:09:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:10:53.094-07:00Feed Your Face - Natural Skin Care and Repair Treatments<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Natural skin care means taking care of your skin by using natural ingredients including herbs, oils, flowers, roots and other pure ingredients.

Cocoa butter is pale, yellow in color with pure vegetable fat that is extracted from cocoa beans. By using Cocoa butter regularly, you can protect your skin from drying.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Many repair serums and nutrition supplements are recommended by doctors to improve and reduce repair process.

The more sugar we consume, the more it will enter in our bloodstream. This condition can also result in glycogen and it can result in loss of elasticity and wrinkles and hence it will show sign of aging. Therefore it is better to consume less sugar in your day to day meals.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">· Stay Active to Avoid Dullness:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Make your routine to walk around and reduce your stress level as well as acne, puffiness and bloating on your skin.

Add fiber to your food as well to balance your nutritional diet.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">· Avoid Sun UV Rays:</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Sun UV rays are very dangerous for the skin so always protect yourself from sun rays when you go outside. UV rays may cause wrinkles, acne, dark spots and even skin cancer. Apply sunscreen lotion for better protection of your skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Coffee for Your Skin - Fight Skin Diseases by Increasing your Coffee Consumption</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Caffeine has been considered to protect the skin by reducing puffiness, inflammation, dryness, and sun damage issues.

But do you know that you can save hundreds or thousands of dollars if you use normal food ingredients as beauty products? You probably don't think this is possible, do you?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">All you have to do is to search through your fridge or kitchen, and you'll find many beauty products in the form of vegetables, fruits, and other food ingredients or items. Do you know that you can create homemade skin treatments and beauty enrichment with some of your daily meal ingredients like eggs, oatmeal, and lemon? Read more to find out how!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">And if you're worried about their effectiveness, know that natural food items are just as good as (or perhaps even better than) those chemical products advertised on TV. Besides, organic compounds works better than over-the-counter cosmetic products. Here is a list of common household items and cooking ingredients that you can use as instant beauty products and face masks.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1. Lemon</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Lemon juice is effective in exfoliating dead skin cells and as a remedy for skin discoloration. If you have uneven underarms or inner thighs or elbows, lemon juice acts as a natural astringent. What you need do is to dampen a cotton ball with lemon juice and apply it onto the area. Do this twice a day, preferably before you sleep. You will be amazed at the result after some few days.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2. Cucumber</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Putting cold cucumber on your eyes is an old practice as it soothes tired eyes and gets rid of dark circles and eyebags. Also, did you know that Cleopatra rubbed her body with cucumber? Try it and feel its effect on your skin.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">3. Oatmeal</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">If you want to get rid of acne or pimples, you can make a facial mask out of oatmeal.

The oatmeal absorbs oil and leaves your skin smooth and moisturized.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">4. Egg white</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Many young girls use egg white to lessen their facial pores. But you don't have to be a young girl to try this facial treatment if you want to prevent clogged pores.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">5. Coconut Oil</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">If you want to have a beautiful skin by keeping your skin hydrated, apply coconut oil as lotion every night.

Keeping your skin glowing and healthy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">6. Avocado</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Avocado contains natural moisturizers, so you can have your own by using it.

Leave it for at least twenty minutes, rinse, and then feel the difference.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-40149285396293025352012-02-03T17:08:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:09:09.095-07:00Get Healthy, Shiny Hair In 7 Practical Steps<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Picture this: You step out of the house looking like you're about to go and star in a commercial for shampoo. As you walk along the street, traffic stops because so many people are staring at your gorgeous, shining locks blowing in the wind. Don't you feel amazing?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Brrrrrinnnnggg! All right, time to wake up. Maybe stuff like that can only happen in your dreams, but you can make healthy, shiny hair a part of your everyday reality with the 7 tips you're about to learn. Even better news: Not a single one of these tips involves visiting a hairstylist!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1. Use Cold Water To Rinse Your Hair</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Remove shampoo and conditioner from your hair with cold water, rather than hot water. The hot water can dry hair out and make it appear dull. Also, cold water helps to close up the cuticles of your hair. When they're closed, light can reflect off their outer surfaces, which helps to give your hair more shine.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2. Make Hair Serums Part of Your Routine</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">There are hair serums on the market that can take your hair from unruly and frizzy to shiny and sleek. You can find them at beauty supply stores, drugstores, and hair salons. Hair serums work by adding a small amount of silicone or oils to your hair to give it moisture.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">When applying hair serum, start with only a pea-sized amount. (Using an excessive amount may not help, since your hair will be weighed down with it.) While your hair is still wet, rub the serum into it with your hands, starting at the tips and working upward.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">3. Use A Leave-In Conditioner</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Leave-in conditioner can really help your hair shine, and can be found in both lotion and spray-on forms. The procedure for applying it is identical to the one for applying hair serum, described above.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">4. Blow-Dry With Caution</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">When using a blow dryer, be sure that its nozzle, and therefore the stream of air, is pointing down the shafts of your hair, toward the tips, while you're using a round brush to hold up each section of hair. Pointing the nozzle up the shaft toward the roots is like petting a cat backwards - it makes the hairs stick up in the wrong direction.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Cooling your hair down with a blast of cool air after you're done drying it adds to its shine in the same way as rinsing it with cool water does: it helps the cuticles close, allowing the reflection of more light. This is the reason why hair dryers have "cool" buttons.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">5. Stay Hydrated</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Moisturizing hair from the inside is as important as adding topical moisturizers to it, so be sure to drink plenty of water. Ideally, you should be getting about the equivalent of eight glasses of water in a day. Have a water bottle handy all the time, and use it!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">6. Get Plenty of Protein and Vitamins A and E</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Vitamins A and E are essential nutrients for healthy, shiny hair. Eat foods that are rich in these vitamins and in protein, which helps hair grow faster. Nuts and eggs are great choices.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">7. Avoid Coming Into Contact With Harsh Chemicals</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Try not to expose your hair to chemicals that can damage it, such as hair-relaxing creams containing lye and the chlorine in swimming pools.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Other things that can damage hair are heated hairstyling tools and alcohol-based hair products. Alcohol tends to remove the shine from your hair and dry it out.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-41959200571757319922012-02-02T17:07:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:08:21.939-07:00How To Choose The Perfect Foundation For A Flawless, Natural Look<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">For your foundation to look natural, its color must match the natural tone of your skin perfectly. However, foundations are available in so many shades that finding exactly the right one for you may seem daunting. Here are some tips to keep you on the right track when you're searching for a great foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1. Choose The Right Coverage</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Foundations come in different levels of coverage, and which one to use is a question of personal preference.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">If you prefer to look more natural and already have good skin, a foundation with light coverage will work well for you. You'll need one with medium coverage if your skin has blemishes or other flaws that you want to conceal. Finally, if you want to use makeup to hide very obvious marks (up to and including tattoos), look for a heavy-coverage foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2. Texture Selection</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Another factor to consider is the texture of your foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Foundations come in three basic forms: liquid, cream, and powder. Which one you should choose depends mainly on your skin type, but you don't have to stick to only one type all the time - you can and should change types based on the weather.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Winter weather can really dry out your skin, so it's a good idea to use a cream foundation to prevent this. In contrast, in the summer, when you're more likely to sweat, you may be better off using a powder foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">In general, oily-skinned people should lean toward powdered foundations, while those with dry skin should choose a liquid or cream foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">3. Skin Type</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Foundations are marketed and developed to cater to the needs of people with specific skin types. Some are formulated to blend well with oily skin, while others are packed with moisturizers to make dry skin healthier.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Often, the packaging of the foundation will tell you whether it's designed for dry or oily skin. If you've experimented with different foundation textures and found that you prefer liquids to other forms, try looking for a liquid foundation formulated for your skin type.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">4. Effect</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Some foundations produce particular effects or finishes. These are somewhat similar to those on a photograph.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">For example, some create matte finishes, while others produce dewy finishes. A matte-finish foundation is recommended for those with oily skin, because adding a dewy finish to oily skin will make the skin appear tired and worn-down.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">On the other hand, if you want to create a dewy, healthy, glowing appearance, look for a semi-matte or dewy-finish foundation.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">These are some of the basic things you need to know about foundation in order to find the best one for you.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-24585674869300162152012-02-01T17:05:00.000-08:002012-08-05T17:07:25.737-07:00How To Make Your Nails Look Professionally Painted At Home<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">You don't have to go to a nail salon every time your toenails or fingernails need a new coat of polish.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Armed with the knowledge in this article, you can keep your own nails looking fantastic all the time, without ever having to enlist the help of a professional!</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">1. Getting Your Hands And Nails Ready For A Manicure</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Before you paint your nails, use an acetone-based nail polish remover to get rid of any old polish. To keep cotton lint from getting stuck to your nails, apply nail polish remover with cotton wipes or a makeup sponge instead of a cotton ball.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">After that, file and trim your nails so that they're neat and uniform. Then, soften up your nails and hands by soaking them in a bowl of either warm water and liquid soap, or lemon juice and olive oil. Gently push your cuticles back with a cotton-wrapped orange stick.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The final steps before painting your nails are to use either coarse salt and olive oil or a sugar scrub to exfoliate, and then add a little more moisturizer to your hands.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">2. Preparation For A Pedicure</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">First, take a few minutes to soak your feet in a bowl of warm water, mixed with some Epson salts and perhaps a little bit of an essential oil you like.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Feet usually have more dead skin to remove than hands, which makes exfoliation a little more difficult. To exfoliate your feet, remove dry skin flakes with a pumice stone, then use a salt or sugar scrub, and finally, apply a heavy-duty moisturizing lotion.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">The cuticles on your toenails deserve to be treated with just as much care as the ones on your fingernails. Put cuticle oil on them, too, and push them back the same way as you did on your fingers.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">3. Selecting Your Nail Polish Colors</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Here are a few ideas to help you pick the perfect colors for your nails.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Nervous about having an attention-grabbing color on your fingernails? Put the cherry-red or neon-pink polish on your toenails instead, and use a more subtle color for your fingers.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">When in doubt, choose a color that coordinates with your skin tone. If your skin is a cooler color, you can use anything from a dramatic dark plum to beige with an undertone of pink. If you have a warm skin tone, your choices range from neutral colors with a yellow base to a deep, rich burgundy.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">4. Polish Your Nails Like A Pro</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">First, put on a base coat of nail polish. This stops your nails from getting stained, and helps keep your nail color smooth.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Instead of shaking the nail polish bottle before applying it, roll it between your palms. This will reduce the number of air bubbles that end up on your nails. Also, your nail polish will be thinner and easier to apply if you mix one or two drops of nail polish remover into it every once in a while, and it will last longer if you keep it in the refrigerator.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">As far as painting your nails goes, there are many ways to do it. The simplest technique is to make a single stroke down the center of your nail, followed by a stroke on either side of it. To keep your polish from smudging, apply several thin coats separated by at least 30 minutes of drying time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:Georgia, serif;">Your nail polish won't chip at the tip of your nail if you paint the underside of the tip with a tiny bit of polish. It also helps protect your nail polish if, every other day, you replenish your clear top coat.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1906812046889247064.post-90930502790369541322012-01-09T07:40:00.000-08:002012-06-29T07:44:45.918-07:00<br />

Banner Printing - Accessible For All</h1>
<div>
<div id="article-content" style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px;">
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Why consider banner printing? What are vinyl or fabric banners good for? Well, quite frankly, banners have become such a universally accepted medium of advertisement, promotion, and information that some people think we have returned to the days of the Roman Empire. Banner printing was used for centuries as a cool and effective way of sending a message and alerting the public.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
The beginning of the 20th century was filled with great signs, such as carved wooden signs, metal signs and neon signs. All of these served a purpose and still do. Signs are a part of life and without them we would all be lost and confused. Every business relied upon signage to clearly state its location, purpose of doing business and help match those seeking him to the service provider himself!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Banner printing is an old idea that's become new again. With the introduction of modern fabrics and vinyl materials, combinations and display methods, banner printing has never been more popular. Banners show the public in a broad expansive way that you are in business and that you are proud of what you have to sell.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Even if you are not selling anything, banners provide the promotional ability to notify the public of a recent art exhibition, gallery or other event. Due to the artistic nature of the banner printing process, the viewer doesn't feel hassled or scammed. Banner printing technology also continues to be refined and improved upon. Even a few years ago, the process of printing banners was too pricey for a small entrepreneur to consider for his fledgling business. The set up costs did not allow a small business to recover his investment costs making the cost prohibitive for his needs. Those days have fortunately changed. Printing costs have shrunk dramatically with the onset of digital printing, allowing anyone under the sun to create a personalized design for their company or personal needs - from birthday banners, graduation celebrations banners, anniversary banners for your parents or the executive of the year, Mothers Day, Father's Day, Christmas, New Year, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving and Halloween. Use your imagination and let what your mind conceive be what the banner achieves!</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
A special print technique, dye sublimation printing, which combines the dye with the fabric using heat and pressure, allows the colors to be even more long-lasting then they would be otherwise. Using Pantone colors helps to show true color tones time after time so customers can rest easy, knowing their banner printing result will be true to form. This provides customers a sense of security, since correct colors play a part in brand name recognition, too.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
How many grand opening sales have you seen with a banner outside the front door? These attention-getting banners are a result of banner printing technology. Just about every shop in town uses banners, either inside or outside their store. Printing banners is less expensive than ever before. It can be done quickly and efficiently and for a fraction of the cost.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
When you consider having a banner printed, don't necessarily jump at the cheapest offer you can find. Will you be satisfied with the result? That doesn't go to say that more expensive is always better either. If you have a good reference from a friend or colleague, consider it, then double-check their reputation at the Better Business Bureau. You may be in for a pleasant - or unpleasant surprise.</div>
<div style="line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Having a banner printed is an important investment, and you want to be sure you're getting something you can use and be proud of not only today, but well into the future. Do your homework, check the facts. If their rating is lower than average, there is a good chance they don't stand behind or guarantee their work. Find a firm with reasonable to good prices which won't be satisfied until you are. Try to get a great result without out stepping your budget. However, banner printing is a worthwhile investment, one that every company large or small can benefit by employing as part of their advertising strategy!</div>
