Married women live shorter

LCS — Sat, 19 Apr 2008 10:03:41 +0000

Age is really catching up with me in the last few years. Not only the energy level has gone down to the drain, the crow feet would probably need one ton of top wrinkle cream to smooth them off.

The good complexion is now replaced by all the acne marks. Sometime I wonder whether that’s the result of dealing with marital stress. Are you aware of the statistics: married men live longer and married women live shorter! As usual, the ones outside the fence are trying to get in and those who are inside are trying to get out. :-)

UV protection

LCS — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 02:19:07 +0000

We grew up on the farm. As a result of spending many hours playing under the hot tropical sun without any sun protection gears, all my siblings have freckles. It’s just a matter of time we are going to see age spots on our faces. :-)

During the past decades people are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of protecting themselves from ultraviolet radiation (UV). The harm caused by UV includes skin cancer and premature aging i.e wrinkles, freckles and age spots.

Most people may put sun block on their face and skin that exposure to the sun. Do you know you can also wear UV protective swimwear to protect the body? Especially if you love the outdoor, you need to learn about sun protection and the types of damage that can result from too much UV exposure, and the combination of tactics that provide maximum sun protection.

Tru Face Essence

LCS — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 03:14:35 +0000

During a gathering with a group of female ex-classmates recently, all of us have noticed Kay’s face is smoother and fairer compare to the last year when we met up. As women who are approaching 40s and started to get wrinkles and pigmentations, everyone was curious what was her secret.

She told us that her sister in law introduced her to Nu Skin and she had started to use the skin care products. She said the Tru Face Essence really works to brighten and revive her skin tone and complexion. Apparently, Chantal Pharmaceuticals has produced a whole line of skin care products for Nu Skin that includes Ethocyn. Ethocyn is a patent ingredient that can give skin the kind of resiliency and firmness that we all dream to have.

Have you started to see unfamiliar traces of age through the mirror? Don’t you just hate those lines and pigments that show up uninvited ? Looks like it’s time to make a plan for an investment so that we can get older gracefully. :-)

What do you call a woman who doesn’t own a lipstick

LCS — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 05:57:35 +0000

During the recent move, I cleaned out the closets and dressers, sent all the clothes that I could no longer fit in to the recycled center and threw away all the expired cosmetics. I don’t have even a lipstick around the house now.

When working in the city, it’s customary to wear make up and heels to work, because nobody wants to be the odd one out there! But, ever since I moved back to this small town, I gladly follow what the majority of women do here - stopped putting on make up and wear flat shoes to work.

After years of lack of practice, I definitely need to learn how to put on make up again! May be need some tips from makeuptip.com ! I am one lazy bum when it comes to applying make up and skincare, the simplest steps and the quickest will do the trick!

Acne treatment and myths

LCS — Thu, 17 Jan 2008 00:49:30 +0000

I never have pimples when I was growing up, I guess I am lucky to spare the agony of those unsightly acnes that some of my school mates had. I was pretty confident I won’t have skin problems!

But, you can have acne at any age. Acne is not an adolescent problem alone. Right now, two decades later, due to all the hormonal changes that associate with the ovarian cysts, I started to have pimples. They are really mild compare to what many people have, it is not even too noticeable, and typically only comes and disappear with the PMS. I can count myself lucky as I do not have to deal with pimply face and skin problems.

Acne during your teenage years can be embarrassing and a blow to your developing self image and confidence. Adult acne not only is an annoyance, it can leave lasting physical and psychological effects as well. You wish that it was all over and here you are in your 30s still suffering from acne.

For those seeking tips to prevent acne or information on acne treatment, check out acne.com, all the necessary information about acne is available on it. You can find various causes and effects, types, preventative measures, and common myths and claims on acne, so do surf over and find out.

Remember, acne cause more damages to our child’s esteem than we thought. So, deal with it correctly. One of the greatest myth is chocolate cause acne. Well, contrary to popular belief, chocolate does not cause acne. So if you are missing out on foods which were wrongly thought to cause acne, all the more you need to find out more about the myth of acne and be enlightened! :-)

Herbal remedy for hair loss

LCS — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 15:25:33 +0000

My friend is suffered from hair loss and his hair is thinning until some bald patches have appeared. Though he said it’s due to genetic factor because his father and grandfather all lost their hair before 40, I do think he should seek treatment or medication to prevent it from getting worse.

We don’t know whether he knew about Provillus, a natural herbal product for treating hair loss problem, but we direct him to the hair loss forum with the hope that he learn more about the product and do something about his residing hair line.

Smile is the best makeup

LCS — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 08:01:41 +0000

Smile is the best makeup you can put on your face, it may sound like a cliche, but won’t you agree with that? Furthermore, it won’t cause allergy and it doesn’t dry up your skin like the other cosmetic products.:-)

People in the show business knew that long ago. Ever wonder why Hollywood is full of stars who have smiles that show their nicely aligned perfect teeth? I bet most of them visit the cosmetic dentist in Beverly Hills and have their teeth fixed regularly.

Dentistry is no longer just a case of filling and extracting teeth, as it was for many years. Nowadays, modern dentistry can do wonders. Many ordinary people turn to cosmetic dentistry, or ‘aesthetic dentistry’, as a way of improving their appearance, much as they would use cosmetic surgery or even a new hairstyle. It’s no longer the sole rights of those people in the show business
