2010-09-16T19:53:00.000-07:00

Most women in the world would envy the beauty of Cleopatra, one of the Egypt's most rneowned queen for seduction and beauty. One of her beauty secret is her favorite camel milk bath, ritual that is followed by many women in the world till now. People start revealing the milk secret that make her skin soft, glow and white.

In fact, milk really has power to beautify our skin:

milk contains several wonderful properties that is good and gentle for the skin. (early Romans liked to use facial sponge made of pieces of bread soaked in milk )
milk contains proteins that can be easily absorbed into the skin and help soften and moisturise the skin. This protein functions to maintain skin structure, elasticity and hormones that control the skin’s moisture.
milk contains lactic acid or AHA, that contributes to maintaining the skin’s natural fairness. Research said that this lactic acid derived from milk, stimulates cell renewal by sloughing off dead skin to allow fresh, radiant cells to emerge. This leads to softer and glowing and lighter skin.
milk is rich in vitamins A, D, and E which further nourishes the skin.
milk contains glycerides or fats and amino acids which further soften and help prevent dryness of the skin.
milk has a whitening effect. It regulates the production of melanin (a natural substance in the skin that causes the skin to darken).
milk protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays which are a major cause of wrinkles, pigmentation and ageing.
milk is great natural cleanser. The International Dermal Institute in USA recommends using milk compresses to ease allergic skin breakouts like acne. Milk proteins have been shown to reduce inflammation of skin irritations and increase the recovery process. In fact, left-over milk from cheese making, can be used as a wound dressing.
milk has been clinically proven to be mild and non-irritating because it’s neutral and that’s why milk is especially good for people with sensitive skin.

DOs AND DONTs FOR YOUR SKIN CARE

2010-08-20T08:40:00.000-07:00

AVOID THE SUN
The sun is the most common cause of prematurely aged skin. Skin aging, a process that is accelerated by the sun, makes your skin thinner and lose fat. The UV rays in sunlight can damage the Elastin (fibers in your skin). This fibers give the skin its elasticity and allows it to snap back into shape. Therefore losing your Elastin may cause your skin to be saggy and wrinkled. More over, premature aging caused by the sun can reduce the ability of your skin to sweat. As we know that sweat actually plays a role in hydrating your skin. Less sweat means drier skin, and this can make the aging process faster and even further. So don't forget to wear sunscreen if you have to go in the sun since there are no effective treatments available to reverse these effects. Regular moisturising just slow them down.

AVOID SMOKING
Smoking is one of the most damaging things.Like sun aging, smoking may reduce the elasticity of your skin. The heat of the cigarette itself also dries out the skin around your mouth, giving those telltale wrinkles on the upper lip. We can easily identify a smoker. Tiny wrinkles around the mouth, a thin upper lip and slightly yellow, off-color skin. One good news is that damage from smoking can be completely stopped once quit. Even some of the damage can even be reversed, as the skin recovers and starts to repair itself.

DRINK A LOT OF WATER
Water is vital element element in keeping your skin young and beautiful. This natural body cleanser and can do wonders for your complexion. Drink at least 8 glasses of water per day and you will notice your skin looking rejuvenated and younger.
When your skin dries out it becomes less elastic and more prone to wrinkles. It also makes it more susceptible to damage from the sun or from smoke. All this means that it is extremely important to keep your skin hydrated all the time, so that it can protect itself against the world.

MOISTURIZE
Night moisturisers will be helpful for your skin as they can work for hours without being rubbed or sweated off. Another way to keep your skin healthy is by having shower with lukewarm water. Hot water can strip the natural oils from your body and leave your skin dry and defenceless.

AVOID ALCOHOL
Alcohol can dehydrate your skin, leaving it red or blotchy both during drinking and in the morning. Drinking alcohol tends to permanently enlarge the blood vessels near the skin's surface, causing itchiness, uneven tone and red spots. If you've ever seen the skin of a long-term alcoholic, you'll recognise exactly this redness.

HAIR LASER REMOVAL

2010-08-12T22:05:00.003-07:00

unwanted hair is no longer a big problem with the laser technology. We can remove hair using a laser — an intense, pulsating beam of light . During the process of the hair laser removal , a laser beam passes through the skin to an individual hair follicle. The intense heat of the laser damages the hair follicle, which inhibits future hair growth.

This method is recommended and most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair. Although this may result in slow hair growth, it doesn't guarantee permanent hair removal. It is because some hair may be resistant to laser treatment and it may cause some hair to grow again after treatment. Therefore periodic maintenance treatments may be needed since typically it takes several hair laser removal treatments to provide an extended hair-free period.

Hair laser removal is not risk-free. The most common side effects after using that method :

Skin irritation. Temporary irritation, crusting or scabbing .
Pigment changes. The affected skin may darken or lighten , usually temporarily. For those with darker skin, skin lightening may happen, especially caused by an incorrect laser used at an incorrect setting.
Bistering, scarring or other changes in skin texture (rarely happen).

Knowing the risks that may happen above, think carefully before making the decision to have hair laser removal treatment.

Beauty Salon Spas: Why You Should Visit One

Yes, they are quite similar and alike in many ways, but there is a difference between a traditional beauty salon and a beauty salon spa. For that reason, if you have yet to try a beauty salon spa, you may want to think about doing so.

When it comes to visiting a beauty salon spa, many individuals wonder exactly why they should do so. As previously mentioned, traditional beauty salons and beauty salon spas are not the same, despite the fact that many people actually think that they are.

Nail care, tanning, and makeup applications are also commonly offered at most beauty salon spas.

As for the difference between a beauty salon spa and a traditional beauty salon, it is the spa setting. Spas are known for their peaceful surroundings. Some beauty salons are too, but many are focused more on seeing as many customers as possible, as opposed to making everyone feel like they could stay all day. In addition to the spa-like settings, you will also find that many spa treatments are offered at many beauty salon spas. For instance, you may be able to undergo acupuncture, get a massage, or even get a body wrap. Additional spa treatment may also be available, but it tends to depend on the beauty salon spa in question.

Although not always common, you may find beauty salon spas that offer cosmetic procedures. Each year, more beauty salon spas are making the decision to offer these types of procedures. A number of beauty salon spas are now starting to offer BoTox injections, laser hair removal, and so forth.

As a reminder, the above mentioned beauty salon spa services are just a few of the many that you may find available at your local spa, but there are no guarantees. Since different beauty salon spas are operated in different ways, you may want to think about contacting your local beauty salon spa for additional information, particularly before making any appointments.
