Why I Love My Honey

Fb-Button

Honey has been used for centuries, not only as a natural sweetener, but also for healing purposes. Mixed with other natural ingredients, it can heal cuts and burns, cure skin rashes and acne, remove wrinkles. It can also be used for other skin problems like diaper rash, hemorrhoids, psoriasis, eczema and dandruff. Learn from Dr. Sears how to make an Ayurvedic exfoliant for your skin using honey.

Honey reminds me of romance. I call my dearest friends honey when I want to remind them how sweet they are to me. But I also use honey for healing. Ayurvedic practitioners in India have used honey for nearly 5,000 years. Ayurveda is a holistic health system that evolved in ancient India. The term combines two Sanskrit words to mean “knowledge of life.” It’s the oldest system of medicine in the world. And it is still practiced widely in India, where the government recognizes it.

Honey also has antibacterial properties. Could it be the end of the antibiotic era? I know I would rather put some honey on my cut then an antibiotic ointment.

People with oily skin may not feel particularly lucky or blessed. There are a few things that they need to know about oily skin and to understand the common misconceptions. Most important thing to do is to learn how to take care of it. Read on to find out a few tricks recommended by Elina Grosmane, Licensed Esthetician.

If you have oily skin, you probably think it’s a curse. Most people with this skin type have tried hundreds of different skin-care products – from harsh toners to stripping cleansers – to help get rid of their “slick” problem. But there’s something you should know about oily skin. It’s not a curse at all… Oily skin is a blessing. And if you’re one of the lucky ones with oily skin, there’s a good chance you’ll age more slowly than any other type of skin out there…. if you take care of it the right way. You see, oily skin is characterized by larger pores and a higher sebum (oil) production by the sebaceous (oil) glands.

With a little bit of work and perseverance you can have a beautiful, smooth and healthy skin.

This Really Gives Away Your Age…

Fb-Button

Having beautiful, smooth and youthful looking hands doesn’t have to cost a fortune. You also don’t have to put harsh chemicals to eliminate skin discoloration, known as age spots. Try some safe and natural remedies to make your hands look younger.

If you had to guess what part of your body shows your age the most, what would you say? Your eyes? Your forehead? Hair color? Lips? The answer is none of the above. Believe it or not, it’s your hands that give it all away. Youthful hands are taut, smooth and free of brown discolorations known as “age spots” or “liver spots.” These discolorations are caused by UV (ultraviolet) light from the sun. The light stimulates the production of melanin in your body; the same thing that allows your skin to tan. But in this case, the melanin pools in certain areas … like your hands. And this is what causes these unsightly age spots. And while they’re harmless, they can be embarrassing and annoying. But there are ways to get rid of these little spots for more youthful looking hands.
