Acne is a skin disorder wherein glands produce extra oil and result in plugging pores of skin. The acne can be in the form of blackheads, whiteheads, pimples and cysts. Mostly these occur on the neck, face, chest, back, upper arms and shoulders.

Skin acne is caused by various factors such as constipation. Irregular bowels accumulate toxic waste in the body, which results in discharge of oil from skin. Absence of healthy balance diet is also responsible for acne disease.

Hair Electrolysis, A Method For Permanent Hair Removal




Hair Electrolysis is a treatment used for long term hair removal. We all have hair that grows in undesirable places. Manual removal can be a drawn out and tiresome task and of course is not permanent, this is why more and more people are looking for longer term semi permanent and permanent removal.

The procedure itself requires a tiny needle to be inserted in every follicle for around a minute; the initial treatment can take quite a long time. A small electric current is then transmitted through to the root burning it. Once the follicle has been burned it is unlikely that it will produce additional growth again.

Such removal is big business across the US and the Western world, with many companies offering this service. This Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approve this method and have labelled it to be permanent hair removal. This is more desirable than laser hair removal that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has only labelled as permanent hair reduction.

However there are not any specific licensing laws at the moment, so finding a reputable, professional technician to apply the treatments can be challenging. Usually individuals seeking electrolysis treatments should first look for recommendations from friends of family. Picking the right technician should be a well considered and careful decision.

If you are thinking about applying this treatment to yourself then you will need to buy a machine. This removal technique is definitely something that can be done at home, but it must be something taken seriously and done carefully. Misuse of the machines can lead to undesirable outcomes such as burns as well as permanent skin damage. Many professionals would strongly advise against attempting this yourself.

Hair Electrolysis is preferred as a hair removal procedure over laser hair removal because of specific facts about each. For instance, the laser used for this hair removal targets melanin. Melanin is found in dark hair and dark skin. So the only people who find great results are people with light skin and dark unwanted hair. Where hair electrolysis is good for any skin and hair types.

Electrolysis has gained media attention over the past few years, but using this method dates back to the Nineteenth Century, originally used as a way of taking out in growing eyelashes. It was invented by an eye doctor named Dr Charles Michael in the US. Since its advent the procedure has been perfected and simplified.

How To Make Your Face Glow Naturally

When was the last time you looked into the mirror and thought "wow...I look good" and felt proud of the tone and complexion of your skin? Have you ever met someone for the first time and instantly judged them by their complexion? Or maybe you have a major family gathering or Old School Girls Reunion coming up and worry that your face will let you down?

Chances are, if you are like most women you probably stared into the mirror and noticed all the blemishes, pimples, rashes and uneven tones masking beneath your skin.

Like it or not, taking into account genetic factors, the skin on your face is an indication of your overall health, wellness and dietary intake.

What the Yogic View About Good Skin?

From a yogic perspective, good health starts within. All yogic practices are designed to help revitalise and energise and keep your skin healthy and radiant. From a yogic perspective, true beauty is the reflection of your inner self radiating and touching others. It is the quality of your energy, your vibes which attract others to you.. True beauty comes from within.

What's Society's View About Naturally Glowing Skin?

Generally speaking, western societies place much emphasis on your physical beauty. The beauty industry spends billions of dollars a year on promoting a certain beauty image, which many women, particular impressionable teens, find hard to resist.

What's The Cost Of Beauty?

A Wall Street Journal article on cosmetics stated that the beauty industry is worth $58.9 billion in the U.S. The Newsweek article, "The Business of Beauty," noted that women aged as young as 12-24 buy more cosmetics and skin care products than any other age group. And that women will spend an estimated $65,865 on maintaining their hair, face, body and other areas, just in the time period from their teen years through their 20s.

If you can identify with these figures or know someone who spends a large proportion of their income on beauty products, what can you do to cut these costs and still look good? Is it possible to achieve healthy glowing skin without spending a fortune?

Five Easy Tips To Make Your Face Glow Naturally

Here are five easy to-do tips to help you have smooth glowing skin without breaking the bank.

1. Facial Steam:

A facial steam releases stale oils, opens up your pores and eliminates impurities. Simply fill a small bowl with hot (not boiling) water. If you have fresh herbs, such as lavender, chamomile, peppermint (or you can sprinkle a few drops of essential oils) wash and chop them up and add to the bowl. Lean over your bowl with your face in the steam. Drape a towel over your head and the bowl and stay under the towel for about 10-20 minutes. You can always top-up the water if it cools down. When you have finished steaming, wipe your face with a damp cloth.

2. Rest and Rejuvenate Tired Eyes

Lie on your back and place a slice of cucumber over your closed eyes. Rest for about 10 minutes then finish off by splashing cool over your face/eyes.

3. Drink Water/Herbal Tea

Throughout your day, sip 6-8 glasses of warm water with a slice of lemon in or substitute herbal teas for coffee/tea, such as, peppermint, nettle, fennel are excellent aids to detox.

Mash and mix together 1 tablespoon ripe avocado, 1 teaspoon honey and 3 drops of cider vinegar and sesame oil into a spreading paste. Apply mixture to your face; take care to avoid your eyes. Rest for 10-20 minutes. Rinse off with warm water.

5. Warm Flannel Over Your Face

This is one of my favourite wind-down and glow activities. Fill a small bowl with warm water. Sprinkle a few herbs, e.g., mint, lavender, or a few slices of lemon or couple drops of relaxing essential oils into the bowl. Place a clean flannel into the water, swish it around and then wring it out, leaving it slightly damp. Place the warm flannel over your face. Rest and relax for 5 - 10 minutes.

Make time on a regular basis to put into place a couple of the above suggestions to improve and support your skin on your face.
