Laser hair removal

Friday, May 16th, 2008

Are you tired of constantly shaving and dealing with unwanted hair on your body? If so, laser hair removal just might be the thing for you! Of course, there might be a better option for you. Some of those options might be shaving, bleaching, tweezing or waxing. Each of these has their ups and downs but might be better for you.

Laser hair removal is my personal favorite method for getting rid of unsightly hair. Shaving and waxing are cheaper and more commonly used alternatives, but they both suffer from some drawbacks that laser hair removal doesn’t have.

First of all, when you shave you leave behind stubble. Depending on how thick your hairs are, that stubble may range from being only slightly noticeable, to being like a dark shadow. What’s worse, it grows back immediately. While it’s actually a myth that shaving causes hair to grow back thicker and faster, it will certainly start growing back the moment you shave it.

Waxing gets rid of hair for a longer period of time, and leaves behind little or no stubble. Waxing is generally much more time intensive than shaving, however, and unless you do it yourself it is much more expensive. Even the do it yourself kits will run you more than a razor and some shaving cream. To boot, waxing is pretty unpleasant!

Laser hair removal, on the other hand, is much less painful and much more permanent. Laser hair removal can remove unwanted hairs for periods of five to ten years, possibly longer. The only real down side to laser hair removal is that it’s the most expensive method, and therefore generally not feasible for large areas of the body.

Stretch Marks Removal Tips

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Treatment by microdermabrasion removes stretch marks by partially removing the top layer of skin so that the skin below tightens and smooths. Like when you sandpaper a piece of wood, well maybe the men out there might appreciate that analogy, personally I love to see a piece of wood perfectly sanded and finished off with the finest of sandpapers. Microdermabrasion stretch marks removal is not painful and requires no anesthetic. A qualified beautician can perform it at a health clinic. There are many widely available oil or cream based preparations available in drug stores, pharmacies and over the Internet for stretch marks removal. Most of these skin care products contain a form of collagen to make the skin more elastic. Other ingredients can be vitamins A and E and cocoa extracts. Using these will improve skin health, counteract dry skin, keep the skin supple and if you massage daily while applying them will encourage circulation and ease skin tension. The important thing that you can do to achieve skin health and prevent stretch marks is to drink at least eight glasses of water a day to keep the skin hydrated.

Aloe Vera Benefits

Sunday, June 18th, 2006

Aloe Vera benefits range from soothing inflammation, pain relief, and a reduction in the likelihood of infection. Studies have also shown that regular use of an Aloe Vera based gel will actually speed the healing process in minor wounds, and even severe burns.

It has been used in this capacity for hundreds of years. The thick leaves can be snapped open, and the moist open ends of the leave can be rubbed onto a burn or scrape directly.

In industrialized areas, the moisture form the Aloe leaves are extracted and made into the popular gel most people are familiar with. In more recent years, it has become more popular than ever and has found its way into skin lotions, cosmetic products, shampoos, lip balms, soaps and sunscreens.

Anti Aging Skin Care

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

Anti Aging Skin Care is a topic that is close to my heart. Being a women, skin care has always been important to me. And as I approach my 60s anti aging skin care takes priority almost any other treatment.

No matter how old you are, it’s never too soon or too late to be worried about aging skin care.  Your skin, being the outermost layer of your body, is the part of you that people see, and reflects your overall state of health and age.  If you are concerned at all about how you appear, it’s therefore a good idea to take good care of your skin.

Proven Acne Scar Treatment

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

I have suffered from very severe acne ever since I was born…well, more like ever since I could remember my face has been filled with acne. I have been called all kids of names, but none more piercing that ‘crater face.’ My appearance had plenty of acne scars, but it wasn’t the acne that hurt the most, it was the emotional scars that were hard to heal.

If you’ve ever suffered from acne, then you already know what a debilitating affliction it is. I have had to deal with bad skin ever since I was a teenager, so I am very familiar with the shame and embarrassment that comes from having a face covered in pimples. One unique characteristic about this skin problem is the fact that sometimes it doesn’t clear up completely, and in extreme cases, can even lead to scarring.

The Agony Of Adult Acne

Saturday, June 17th, 2006

As a child growing up I was very priviledged to have acne free skin, but as I grew up, I wasn’t so fortunate. Acne ville seemed to move homes from my friends to me.

Most adults, who survived their teenage years with no apparent acne and the lack of ‘bad skin’ that their peers struggled with are often embarrassed to discover that just when they assumed they were free from acne for ever, they have been afflicted by adult acne.

Have you ever tried getting a piercing?

Fast Facts About Acne - Myths to Uncover!

Tuesday, June 13th, 2006

Let’s take a look at some other popular beliefs about acne to dispel any other rumors; for example, stress. Is it true that increased stress spreads acne? Not exactly. What is true is that ultimately stress can have a very minimal or minor influence all by itself.

It cannot actually cause acne, but it can influence reoccurrences of acne as stress increases the body’s creation of a substance called cortisol that in turn causes your sebaceous glands to produce increased amounts of sebum oil that can be blocked in pores. Note, however, that some medications people take when trying to deal with or treat stress can have a large influence on acne as the result of…
