Causes of Wrinkles and Wrinkle Prevention
Once thought of as an indicator of wisdom, today most of us do everything we can to avoid or get rid of wrinkles. Although there are some factors that we cannot control, there are some steps you can take to help protect your skin and prevent the onset of wrinkles. In this article, we’ll take a look at what factors promote wrinkles and how you can lessen your chances of developing them in the future.
As we age, our skin ages all over our bodies, but none so much as the places that are exposed to the sun the most – our faces, hands, or arms. Sun damage, or photoaging, can bring about changes such as dryness or roughness of the skin, skin growths such as keratoses (also known as liver spots), sagginess and wrinkles. Wrinkles can appear in either deep furrows or fine surface lines that are easier to remove with wrinkle creams and treatments.
Unfortunately, there are some factors that determine if we’ll have wrinkles that are out of our control. There are genetic factors, as some families simply wrinkle more than others, while those with fair skin and blue eyes are more likely to suffer from sun damage which can promote wrinkles. This doesn’t mean, however, that those with darker complexions are less likely to have wrinkles, however.
Those that spend long hours in the sun, whether because of work or a love of outdoor activities such as golf, sailing, or sun bathing, are equally susceptible to sun damage. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as "safe tanning", so sun worshippers are likely to run the risk of developing wrinkles wherever they expose their skin to the sun. Smoking can also damage the skin and lead to wrinkles.
How to Prevent Wrinkles
The best way to avoid getting wrinkles in the future is to avoid as much sun damage as possible and avoid smoking, two main causes of wrinkles. Always use a sun screen with an SPF factor of at least 15 when you are outside. It’s a good idea to use sun screen or a moisturizer with sun screen on your face everyday. Protecting your skin from the sun is the best defense against developing wrinkles as you age.
To summarize, causes of wrinkles are:
excessive suntanning and sun exposure
cigarette smoking: it's a bad habit and not only because it causes wrinkles. Each cigarette contains so many harmful substances that it's hard to imagine. It's also very hard to quit smoking but it's worth trying, you can find some books to help you quit smoking and maybe it's good to try electronic cigarettes, much better solution than normal cigarettes.
genetics - we can't do nothing about it
How to prevent wrinkles formation:
use moisturizer with sunscreen - at least SPF 15 when you are outside
use moisturizer + sunscreen on your face on daily basis

Top 10 Hair Straightening Methods Review: Products and Straighteners Read more: Top 10 Hair Straightening Methods Review: Products and Straighteners
There are many different ways to create the sleek, shiny look of pin straight hair. Here is a review of the top ten methods of straightening hair, in no particular order. You will read here about hair straighteners, hair straightening products and it will be easier for you to choose your hair straightening method.
Hair Straightener
Shampoo and Conditioner: There are many shampoos and conditioners on the market today to help encourage your hair to straighten, but most need to be used in conjunction with another product. Be sure to look for products that can help protect your hair from the heat of blow drying or ironing, and choose a very good conditioner.
Silicone Serum: Adding a touch of silicone serum will give your hair extra shine, but be careful, as a little bit goes a long way.
Blow Dry Straight: Blowing drying is an effective way to straighten your hair, but it must be used with a protective product and you should use a weekly conditioning treatment to keep your hair healthy. Remember that heat is not as important as a good strong air flow.
Ion Conditioning Blow Dryers: A new concept in blow drying hair, these blow dryers send negative ions to the hair, replacing moisture and protecting the hair, while also cutting down drying time.
Straightening balm: Usually used in conjunction with blow drying or ironing, a straightening balm can help cut down on frizz, especially in humid weather, and protect dry hair.
Chemical Straighteners: Chemical straighteners should always be applied by a professional, as everyone’s hair is different. The good news is that chemical straighteners can keep the hair straight for up to six months, but the hair needs a great deal of conditioning, blow dryers should be used sparingly, and adding color could damage the hair.
Thermal Reconditioning: This new procedure, which was developed in Japan, is a permanent way to straighten hair, and is good for all types of hair. The downside is that it takes a very long time and can be very expensive.
Finally, we’ll take a look at three different kinds of straightening irons:
Ceramic Hair Straighteners: Hair irons that have ceramic plates have extremely smooth surfaces, usually have no edges that will catch the hair, and heat up very quickly, in around thirty seconds.
Titanium Hair Straighteners: Hair irons with titanium plates infuse the hair with negative ions which help protect the hair and helps prevent colored hair from fading.
Steam Hair Straighteners: Steam is an effective way to straighten hair, but beware of badly made products that will eventually break down or cause hot water to spill on you as you iron your hair.

How to Remove Hair Dye From Skin, Hair, Hands & Nails
When changing your hair color, the goal is to keep all of the dye in your hair without staining your hands, face and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, this easier said than done because sometimes your glove(s) will rip or the dye will splatter, leaving you with unwanted messes. And as many people can attest to, scrubbing dye out isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. Furthermore, there are times where the color won’t turn out the way you wanted, and in order to fix the mistake, you’ll have to remove the dye from your hair and start all over.
Whether you’re trying to get dye out of your hair or off of the skin, it will take some hard work. But hopefully, the following tips for removing dye from your hair and skin will drastically cut down on this work.
Removing Dye from Hair
There are several different methods for removing dye from your hair, and the method often depends on the details of the situation. To expand on this point, you should go for the less harsh methods in the beginning, and step things up a notch if this doesn’t work.
One of the simplest ways to remove dye is by using some dandruff shampoo mixed with baking soda; when you do this, make sure the hair is wet before applying the mixture. Assuming you perform this treatment several times throughout the week, you should be able to remove the dye.
For those who’ve used a demi-permanent color to darken their hair, a good natural treatment is to make a water and Vitamin C solution; when mixed right, it should turn into a paste. The next step involves putting the paste into your hair and leaving it sit for an hour or so. Assuming you do this within a couple of days after your dye job, this should take most (if not all) of the color out.
If you don’t mind spending money to remove dye from your hair, you can purchase a hair color remover. These products remove the dye through chemicals, and all you need to do to use them is follow the instructions. Some of the most popular brands of hair color removers are Jheri Redding Color Fix, Jerome Rusell’s Punky Off, Color Oops Hair Color Remover, L’Oreal Color Zap and Roux Clean Touch.
Removing Dye from Skin
The great thing about removing dye from your skin is that there are a number of different household items you can use to get the job done. One of the most common household items is toothpaste, and you should rub a small amount on the stained area, then rinse the area with water. You can repeat this process throughout the week until the dye is completely gone.
If the thought of rubbing toothpaste on your body doesn’t sound appealing, you might try rubbing petroleum jelly on instead. A couple of things to note about this method is that A) you will need a lot of jelly to get the dye off of your skin, and B) rubbing the jelly on too hard can cause irritation to your skin.
Assuming the dye is still on your skin, ditch the petroleum jelly and grab some nail polish remover. To use the nail polish remover, saturate a cotton ball or pad, and rub it onto the stained area. Much like the petroleum jelly, nail polish remover can also cause irritation to your skin so watch out for this.
Removing Hair Dye from Hands/Nails
When removing hair dye on your hands, soak your hands in some "first aid strength" hydrogen peroxide for several minutes. After you’ve done this, use baking soda and a nail brush to gently scrub the nails and skin. Keep in mind that it could take more than one go with this method; however, it is still a great way to remove dye from the skin.
In some instances, you can add water to leftover hair dye, and then rub it in circular motions until the dye is gone. Use your shampoo or hand soap in combination with the dye/water mix for extra stain-removing power!
If none of these methods work for you, the last thing to try is a tint removal product found in most beauty stores. These products are designed specifically for the removal of hair dye, and they’re non-damaging to the skin; but they do come with a price tag.
Removing Hair Color from Hard Surfaces
Getting dye on the surfaces around you is often an unfortunate byproduct of dying your hair. Assuming you have this problem, the first thing you should do is consider what surface the hair dye in on. For example, if you’ve stained marble or tile flooring, a great way to take care of this problem is to put some rubbing alcohol on a rag and scrub the stain out.
For those who’ve had the misfortune of getting dye on carpet, you should make a solution out of carpet cleaner and warm water; once the solution is complete, you can scrub the carpet until the stain comes out. Just remember that when removing dye from any hard surface, the quicker you get to the problem, the better chance you have for success.
Preventing Hair Dye Stains and Problem
You can save yourself a lot of scrubbing and wasted time by taking precautions when dying your hair. For one thing, you can use baby oil or petroleum jelly along your hairline (not on your hairline) to keep the dye from sticking to your skin. Another big part of preventing hair dye mishaps is covering the area around you with towels. So if you are dying your hair in the bathroom, make sure to cover the floor and any nearby counters with towels.
Just by doing small things such as covering hard surfaces with towels or putting baby oil below your hairline, you can avoid the trouble that comes with having to scrub or wash out hair dye after the fact

So if you are dying your hair in the bathroom, make sure to cover the floor and any nearby counters with towels.
Just by doing small things such as covering hard surfaces with towels or putting baby oil below your hairline, you can avoid the trouble that comes with having to scrub or wash out hair dye after the fact
How to Remove Hair Dye From Skin, Hair, Hands & Nails
When changing your hair color, the goal is to keep all of the dye in your hair without staining your hands, face and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, this easier said than done because sometimes your glove(s) will rip or the dye will splatter, leaving you with unwanted messes. And as many people can attest to, scrubbing dye out isn’t exactly the easiest thing to do. Furthermore, there are times where the color won’t turn out the way you wanted, and in order to fix the mistake, you’ll have to remove the dye from your hair and start all over.
Whether you’re trying to get dye out of your hair or off of the skin, it will take some hard work. But hopefully, the following tips for removing dye from your hair and skin will drastically cut down on this work.
Removing Dye from Hair
There are several different methods for removing dye from your hair, and the method often depends on the details of the situation. To expand on this point, you should go for the less harsh methods in the beginning, and step things up a notch if this doesn’t work.
One of the simplest ways to remove dye is by using some dandruff shampoo mixed with baking soda; when you do this, make sure the hair is wet before applying the mixture. Assuming you perform this treatment several times throughout the week, you should be able to remove the dye.
For those who’ve used a demi-permanent color to darken their hair, a good natural treatment is to make a water and Vitamin C solution; when mixed right, it should turn into a paste. The next step involves putting the paste into your hair and leaving it sit for an hour or so. Assuming you do this within a couple of days after your dye job, this should take most (if not all) of the color out.
If you don’t mind spending money to remove dye from your hair, you can purchase a hair color remover. These products remove the dye through chemicals, and all you need to do to use them is follow the instructions. Some of the most popular brands of hair color removers are Jheri Redding Color Fix, Jerome Rusell’s Punky Off, Color Oops Hair Color Remover, L’Oreal Color Zap and Roux Clean Touch.
Removing Dye from Skin
The great thing about removing dye from your skin is that there are a number of different household items you can use to get the job done. One of the most common household items is toothpaste, and you should rub a small amount on the stained area, then rinse the area with water. You can repeat this process throughout the week until the dye is completely gone.
If the thought of rubbing toothpaste on your body doesn’t sound appealing, you might try rubbing petroleum jelly on instead. A couple of things to note about this method is that A) you will need a lot of jelly to get the dye off of your skin, and B) rubbing the jelly on too hard can cause irritation to your skin.
Assuming the dye is still on your skin, ditch the petroleum jelly and grab some nail polish remover. To use the nail polish remover, saturate a cotton ball or pad, and rub it onto the stained area. Much like the petroleum jelly, nail polish remover can also cause irritation to your skin so watch out for this.
Removing Hair Dye from Hands/Nails
When removing hair dye on your hands, soak your hands in some "first aid strength" hydrogen peroxide for several minutes. After you’ve done this, use baking soda and a nail brush to gently scrub the nails and skin. Keep in mind that it could take more than one go with this method; however, it is still a great way to remove dye from the skin.
In some instances, you can add water to leftover hair dye, and then rub it in circular motions until the dye is gone. Use your shampoo or hand soap in combination with the dye/water mix for extra stain-removing power!
If none of these methods work for you, the last thing to try is a tint removal product found in most beauty stores. These products are designed specifically for the removal of hair dye, and they’re non-damaging to the skin; but they do come with a price tag.
Removing Hair Color from Hard Surfaces
Getting dye on the surfaces around you is often an unfortunate byproduct of dying your hair. Assuming you have this problem, the first thing you should do is consider what surface the hair dye in on. For example, if you’ve stained marble or tile flooring, a great way to take care of this problem is to put some rubbing alcohol on a rag and scrub the stain out.
For those who’ve had the misfortune of getting dye on carpet, you should make a solution out of carpet cleaner and warm water; once the solution is complete, you can scrub the carpet until the stain comes out. Just remember that when removing dye from any hard surface, the quicker you get to the problem, the better chance you have for success.
Preventing Hair Dye Stains and Problem
You can save yourself a lot of scrubbing and wasted time by taking precautions when dying your hair. For one thing, you can use baby oil or petroleum jelly along your hairline (not on your hairline) to keep the dye from sticking to your skin. Another big part of preventing hair dye mishaps is covering the area around you with towels. So if you are dying your hair in the bathroom, make sure to cover the floor and any nearby counters with towels.

Removing Unwanted Female Facial Hair: How to Remove Hair on the Jaw, Chin & Upper Lip
What causes facial hair in women? The same hormones that cause it in men. Let's face it: we're a hairy breed. And in the all too human world of beauty, we value smooth, hairless skin. Our hormones create hair, even in the female of the species, and as women we spend a lot of time fighting Nature to please Fashion. Removing facial hair is an issue for women all over the world: even in ancient times, women used hot honey and tree saps to remove unwanted hair from the jaw line, upper lip, eyebrows and chin.
Waxing Unwanted Facial Hair Today,
waxing is still a popular hair removal option: it's relatively inexpensive, more thorough than plucking individual hairs with tweezers and can be done any time. Hot wax kits consist of a "wax" made of sugar or honey, (this is called "sugaring"), beeswax or resin. The easiest way to do waxing at home is to buy a microwavable wax, apply with a wooden spatula, then spread with a strip of cotton muslin and pull off the wax along with the offending hair. But, if you don't have the patience to melt the wax slowly at the recommended power setting, stir it thoroughly, test a tiny bit on the tip of your finger and ascertain whether it's too hot, you shouldn't do that kind of waxing because you run the risk of getting badly burned. Microwaves work hot and fast, and the wax must be carefully watched, timed, stirred, and tested before applying. It takes patience.

--Editors Tip -------------------------------------------------------------Tired of Tweezing or Plucking? Try Natural Hair Removal Gel
Many women have unwanted facial hair on their jaw, chin, or lip. Women have hair-producing hormones, just like men, some have it worse than others! Especially as women get older, unwanted facial hair can become more of an annoying beauty problem. Checking every day in the mirror and plucking or tweezing as necessary gets old. Home waxing is painful and very messy. Using a natural hair removal gel can not only avoid the mess and the pain of waxing, but the natural ingredients remove hair directly from the root and give you professional results. Natural hair removal gels will leave your skin moisturized and smooth—as well as hairless! Natural hair removal can leave your skin hair free for up to six weeks, and it’s perfect to use on not only your face, but your underarms or bikini line, too. Get that summer body smooth and hair-free and ready for the beach!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bleaching Upper Lip Hair to Reduce its Appearance
Another popular at-home hair removal method is bleach. You can buy cream bleaching creams that are mixed with an activator and then applied to the facial hair. You cannot use cream bleaches on eyebrows or anywhere near your eyes—if they get in your eyes, you can go blind. Some people may experience facial redness or sensitivity from bleaching, so it's a good idea to do a 24 hour test patch first. But if the bleach doesn't bother your skin, and if you use it weekly, you'll not only be rendering facial hair more invisible, after awhile it will become fragile and start to break off, lessening its appearance even more.Shaving is not a best practice for removing facial hair
Some people wonder how to remove facial hair by shaving, and this is a good place to say that shaving is a bad idea. It will leave stubble, and the only thing worse than facial hair is facial stubble. Forget shaving anything on your face.Electrolysis is permanent removal, but become an old technique
Electrolysis has long been considered a good way to remove hair permanently, but it's pretty much a bygone era at this point. Electrolysis is permanent, but it may cause pinpoint scarring; it's expensive and it hurts like blue blazes. Treatments can also cause redness and swelling or breakouts, and you risk infection (all of which are temporary). Scrap electrolysis: if you want permanent hair removal and can afford it, the thing to do is laser hair removal. Unlike electrolysis, there are no needles involved; pain is practically non-existent, any redness disappears in an hour or so, and it really works. Laser hair removal is the best remover on the planet: thousands of Brazilian bikini lines can't be wrong! Just keep in mind that laser hair removal works better on darker brunette hair than it does blonde. You will need multiple laser hair removal treatments over many months in order to be hair free.Threading is similar to plucking, but currently trendy
Threading is a newly rediscovered method of hair removal that can't hold a candle to laser hair removal, but it has its uses because it's cheaper. It's basically hair plucking, only it's done with a thread that's rolled across the skin, catching the hair and pulling it out. It's trendy and you'll pay more for it than by going to a beautician for a tweezing session because it takes special training. Frankly, most of us don't see the point.Gotta Have a Great Pair of Tweezers for the Daily Upkeep
For cheap, fast daily hair removal at home, you've got to have a pair of decent slant tip tweezers. They aren't as easy to find as they should be! They must be properly balanced: the cheapo $2 no-name tweezers you get at the supermarket are never balanced enough to get the job done. Buy tweezers from a reputable company like Revlon, and then guard them with your life.Overview of Tips for Removing Facial Hair
- Waxing is popular, low cost hair removal option that can be done at home or by a professional. Results last several weeks, but you will need to let it grow out a bit before you can wax again.
- Bleaching at home can reduce the appearance of facial hair. Many women bleach the hair on their upper lip as part of their regular beauty regimen.
- DON'T SHAVE your unwanted facial hair because you may get stubble.
- Electrolysis is permanent, but is expensive and painful.
- Laser hair removal can also have permanent results, but is expensive, doesn't work great on light hair and takes multiple sessions to complete.
- Threading is a fancy way of plucking the rouge hairs.
- Tweezing is simple, cheap and with daily upkeep should be manageable.

Exfoliating Homemade Body Scrubs with Simple Sugar & Salt Recipes for the Home Kitchen
new skin behind.It's Easy to Make Body Scrubs at Home
Universal Body Scrub Recipe To Follow
2 Parts Salt or Sugar + 1 Part Beauty Oil + Essential Oil
= Basic Body Scrub
= Basic Body Scrub
You Choose the Natural Exfoliate Ingredients
Make your own body polish! Choose your favorite fragrances, control the granularity of the scrub, avoid ingredients that you may be allergic to, and create a big potful of body polish with about $10 worth of ingredients. Or you can make a cupful for under a dollar and decide if you like the recipe. It's a breeze: you'll need a spoon, a bowl, and a container for storage.Step 1: Choose Your Salt or Sugar Exfoliate (amount = 2 parts)
Review the table below to see the types of sugar or salts that are readily available at any grocery or health food store.- Salts (listed finer to courser)
- Fine Salt
- Table Salt
- Sea Salt
- Kosher Salt
- Epsom Salt
- Fine Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- White Sugar
- Turbinado (raw sugar)
Step 2: Choose a Beauty Oil (amount = 1 part)
The beauty oil will turn the salt or sugar into a moisturizing slurry that can be rubbed into wet or dry skin. Review the table of beauty oils below to see their skin benefits. You can always use more than one oil. These can be found at most grocery or drugstores with a natural food department.- Suggested Beauty Oils for Body Scrubs
- Apricot oil - great for sensitive skin
- Avocado oil - great for dry skin
- Coconut oil - great for moisturizing
- Grape seed oil - great for oily skin, acne prone skin
- Jojoba oil - great for moisturizing for all skin types
- Olive oil - great for moisturizing (but strong smell)
- Sesame oil - great for its anti-oxidant properties
- Almond oil - great for moisturizing for all skin types
- Vitamin E oil - great for healing & moisturizing
Step 3: Choose Your Fragrance & Special Additives (several drops)
The sky is the limit when it comes to adding fragrance to your homemade body scrub. You can use any blend of essential oils that can be found at many natural food stores. You can also use fragrance sources from your own kitchen like vanilla extract or citrus fruits. This is a place to experiment and make it your own! You may also want to add additional ingredients to your scrubs like aloe vera for its skin soothing properties, tea tree oil for its anti-inflammatory properties or honey to improve the texture or your scrub. If need more ideas on additives you can incorporate view the ingredient labels of premade natural body scrubs at your local beauty store or natural foods market.Storing Your Body Scrub
Scrubs stored in the refrigerator should last up to 4 weeks. Just keep a couple days worth in the shower for regular use. If your scrub starts to smell, look or feel "funny" throw it out and start a new batch. |

Raw sugar (Turbinado) isn't as harsh as other natural exfoliates.
Using Sugar as the Exfoliating Ingredient
Try it sweet. Sugar isn't as harsh as ground nut shells: it melts fast when it hits moisture, so if your skin is delicate, you're probably not going to over-scrub it. The other benefit is the fact that sugar, unlike pumice, ground shells and other insoluble ingredients, will melt instead of sticking in your bathtub drains. Here's what you need to make a large batch:Homemade Sugar Body Scrub Recipe
- 1 Cups turbinado (raw sugar) or light brown sugar
- ¼ Cups avocado, untoasted sesame oil or jojoba oil
- ¼ Cup apricot or peach kernel oil
- essential oil (we used ginger and vanilla)
- honey for smoothing the texture
Try Using Different Sugars for Different Skin Smoothing Results
If you use turbinado (raw sugar), you will probably want more oil because turbinado has a coarser texture than light brown sugar. Turbinado, being a specialty ingredient, also costs a lot more than brown sugar. You can use either form of sugar, just make sure that with the brown sugar, you're keeping a careful eye on the liquid ingredients so your scrub doesn't dissolve into a thin paste. Use honey only if you find your scrub is too dry, or just increase the amount of oil you use instead.Sugar Scrub Mixing Instructions
Mix oils into the sugar slowly, stirring to keep the consistency smooth, and stop when you can form the mixture into a slightly wet ball without it dripping through your fingers. Add the essential oils last: they are for fragrance, not moisture, and you'll only need a few drops—maybe eight—to get the aroma strong enough. Never use "fragrance oils"—they are chemical fakes that have never been near a plant and can cause irritation or even allergic symptoms. Instead, make sure to use essential oils, which are the true plant oils expressed by pressing or by steam distillation from the actual plants. Before choosing an essential oil, make sure that it is considered to be good for the skin—some essential oils are irritants and are meant for other purposes. Some skin friendly oils include rose, rosemary, lemon, mandarin, lavender and chamomile.--Editors Tip ----------------------------------------------------------------------Make Your Skin Glow With Smoothing Salt Scrubs

Using salt scrubs as a body treatment can help to exfoliate, moisturize, and smooth dry and damaged skin, leaving it feeling soft and virtually glowing.

Kosher salt (above) is coarser than table salt.
Using Salt to Exfoliate Your Skin
Salt recipe. In this body scrub, you can substitute 8 cups of coarse or kosher salt for the sugar in the recipe above. The nice thing about do it yourself scrubs is that you can then vary the ingredients to make your own favorite scents.

- ¾ Cups coarse pickling or Kosher salt.
- ¼ Cups avocado, untoasted sesame oil or jojoba oil
- ¼ Cup apricot or peach kernel oil
- ¼ Cup unsweetened cocoa or ¼ Cup freeze dried coffee crystals
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- honey for smoothing the texture
