13 Aug 2009Getting a facial at a spa can be a relaxing, invigorating—and expensive—proposition. That’s why so many women opt to be their own facial therapist and give themselves a bit of pampering at home. With today’s high-quality home facials, you can expect to use the same natural and effective ingredients in home products but at far less cost than you would spend for a day at the spa.
Most spa facials start around $70 and prices go up from there. But home facials, which have the same and sometimes even better ingredients, cost a fraction of that. Even if you buy high-quality face products—which you should—chances are you have more than one use from each product.
But why do it at home when a spa is so wonderfully luxurious? Because you know you don’t have the time or the money to go on a regular enough basis to get the true benefits of a good facial.
Let’s face it (pun intended), women today are too busy and not inclined to take the hour or two required for a salon facial. And in a tough economy, it may be difficult to justify spending nearly $100 for a facial. But our skin does require pampering, making a home facial the ideal solution for the busy woman.
Another benefit of doing your facial at home is that you control what products you put on your face. No one knows your skin better than you, so having control over what you put on and for how long is vital.
Never had a facial (gasp)? Then trying one at home is a good start. Most facials involve a good cleansing, facial peel and/or masque and finish with a moisturizer. Facials leave your skin glowing, soft and healthy looking.
Home facials are also a terrific alternative for men: they have skin too and can benefit from a facial as much as a woman. Few men stroll into spas and request facials, however.

Have you ever woke up in the morning with lines etched in your face from your cotton pillowcase? As we age, we lose elasticity in our skin. Sleeping with your face pressed into a cotton pillowcase all night can cause us to wake up with creases and lines on our skin. Eventually these lines may become permanent.
Beauty experts tell us that sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase will allow your face to move across the pillow so that there is no stress on your skin. This will help minimize wrinkles and morning creases. Pure silk will not pull or crease sensitive skin. Even skin that is dry and itchy can find cool relief with satin bedding.
Nighttime is when the skin repairs itself, using a silk or satin pillowcase can help. Your night creams can be fully absorbed into the skin and won’t rub off as it would on a cotton pillowcase. Cotton will draw the moisture from your skin, drying it out and cancel the benefits of your moisturizes and night crèmes.

13 Jul 2009Psoriasis is a long-lasting skin disorder that causes red, scaly patches on the limbs, trunk, scalp, and other parts of the body. Normal skin cells start growing in the deepest layers of the skin and rise to the surface and they mature. The mature cells at the surface eventually fall off from everyday wear and tear and are replaced by the newer cells below. This process usually takes about 1 month. In skin affected by psoriasis, this process is accelerated and takes just 1 week or more. The skin cells multiply too quickly and accumulated on the surface in silvery scales. This rapid growth is the result of a problem with the immune system.
Although psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body, lesions are more prone to occur on the scalp, face, hands, feet and nails.
Common psoriasis triggers are stress, infections, medications, weather that dries the skin, hormones, other skin conditions, smoking and excessive drinking.
Identify and avoid triggers. If you are not sure exactly what your triggers are, consider keeping a diary for a few months.

We all know that it is important to regularly apply sunscreen to protect against sunburn and UV damage, but did you know that Vitamin E supplements may also help? According to one study, volunteers who took the 400 IU daily of Vitamin E supplements were able to stay in the sun 3 times longer than the control group who did not take them. While the Vitamin E may help, don’t forget the sunscreen!
