Posted in Beauty, Health, Diet & Fitness | 0 comments

I used to be so lazy to care for my nails. I thought it’s too much hassle and there was a point that I only cut my nails when it was long already and I couldn’t stomach the dirt getting inside. My mom used to nudge me every time to buff my nails, apply moisturizer etc etc. She kept harping on and on that if I don’t bother with it, there would come a time that an industrial equipment would be needed to clean it up.

I guess her constant reminders got to me and I eventually incorporated nail care to my routine. After all, nails are a part of us and is part of what should be kept always clean and well groomed. Thankfully, I’ve learned a lot of easy nail care techniques so caring for nails won’t be too much of a hassle.

• Have a healthy diet. This is very essential to nail care, skin care and for your overall being. Have the right balance of vitamins and it is also beneficial to take a daily multivitamin to supplement your nutrient intake.
• Protect your nails and hands when doing heavy work. Invest in a pair of sturdy gloves for scrubbing clean your kitchen, or gloves for hand washing clothes, and specially for gardening.
• Rub on some moisturizer regularly. If you can find a nail moisturizer, then apply some regularly.
• Clean out your cuticles regularly. At least once a week.
• If you regularly apply nail polish or nail art, then give your nails also time to breath for a few days or a week. This will allow your nails to be rejuvenated and it won’t chip easily.
• Clip nails regularly. If you don’t like clipping, then buffing your nails can be an alternative.

Those are easy and simple ways I regularly care for my nails. I don’t even need to be a the nail salon every week. It will also be very handy if you have your nail care kit at home.

Acne Dilemma and How to Fight On Against it..

Posted in Beauty, Health, Diet & Fitness | 0 comments

I must admit I was never seriously in a quandary about acne when I was a teenager. Perhaps because of genes, and my mom thought me early on how to take care of my skin. It was a big help, I never had big problems with acne or other skin concerns often besieging teenagers. Of course, I had occasional zits and breakout but nothing really to freak out about.

Yesterday though, my teenage niece came over asking me about what to do about acne and acne scars. I haven’t seen her in a while and I was surprised coz her ‘used to be unblemished face’ is now full of acne and she’s quite scared about scarring. Can’t blame her though. But since I’m not expert with these I found myself searching online for natural acne scar remedies, click here for acne scar removal if you want more info about it.

Basically, what we’ve learned to treat acne and acne scar naturally by:

• Taking in enough vitamins and minerals for healthy skin. Starting with a good diet taking in lots of fruits, vegetables, fiber, high protein, and plenty of water. This just furthers my belief that what you really take in has a lot of effect on your skin.
• Vitamin A and Vitamin E has known effects to relieve and help fight against acne.
• Tea tree oil is also great in relieving acne.
• Drink up lots of carrot juice and cabbage juice. Both are very rich in Vitamin, B and sulfur.
• Get lots of sleep and rest. Avoid staying up too late at night.
• Avoid alcohol, smoking, and too much fatty and oily foods.
• Keep your skin clean and fresh. Avoid applying too many chemicals as this would only serve to irritate your skin.
