Beautiful Feet

Everyone wants to have smooth skin and Beautiful Feet

Take 1 cup Lemon Juice, Cinnamon (for smell), 2 tablespoons (or less) olive oil, 1/4 cup of milk, and water you can make a wash that leaves skin refreshed and fragrant (the amount of water does not matter).

If you do not like the cinnamon smell you can replace it with another spice, perfume, or flower petals such as roses.

After you make it, you can put it in a tub were you can soak your feet or body.

Next dry your feet or rinse them with water and a MILD soap.

After a few weeks of doing this your skin will be silky smooth.

Wrinkle Remover

Green Thompson seedless grapes! It has one of the ingredients in those big time expensive wrinkle creams.

All you do is cut a grape in half and gently crush it on your face and neck. Make sure that you get the "crows-feet" and the lines around your mouth. Leave it on for twenty minutes or so and rinse with tepid water and pat dry.

Repeat every day and before you know it... those nasty old lines will be hard to find!Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water daily. And... eat veggies rich in Vitamin A, such as carrots, celery and spinach.
If you can, get 8 hours of sleep every night.

White Nails

To whiten your nails, try these:

* Use a common whitening toothpaste. Try scrubbing your nails with Pearl Drops, it's just as easy as achieving a pearly white smile and will take away any stains and shine up your nails.

* Soak your nails in water with lemon juice or lemon slices. The lemon acts as an astringent and will strip away stains. Once your hands are dry, you'll only need to put on a couple of coats of a clear topcoat

How Can Anti Aging Supplements Prove to be Anti Aging?

Why Anti Aging Supplements? The skin, it is the largest organ in the body and the first thing people see when they look at you. As we age, the skin is also the first part of the body that physically changes to show age, wear and tear. The choices we make early in life are the choices our skin will reflect later in life. Even though wrinkles may not begin to show until after the age of 30, those wrinkles began forming at birth. In order to prevent the look of wrinkles from showing a person's real age, anti aging supplements can help ease the effects of the environment on the skin.

The environment, the air all around us, is one of the major causes for wrinkles on the skin. These environmental factors include air pollution, sun rays, stress and water intake. Though many people simply view the skin as the protective layer from the outside world, the skin is actually a living, breathing part of our bodies. This organ needs to be cared for intensely to lessen the outward signs of aging.

Supplements, especially those with high levels of antioxidants, can stop the effects of the environment on the skin and even reverse some of the effects over time. This anti aging effect of supplements centers on the free radical damage done to the skin.

Free radicals are cellular byproduct from the environmental factors listed above. The free radicals build up in the body over time and cause some of the most common signs of aging. Wrinkles, fine lines and the likes can be directly related to the levels of free radicals in the body.

Antioxidant supplements help to reign in those free radicals and prevent them from multiplying at a cellular level. Slowly, over time, with the continuous use of antioxidant supplements, anti aging of the skin may occur. Those wrinkles may not appear so heavy and the fine lines less pronounced. But, the user of the antioxidants should note that the supplements will only work as long as they are taken regularly.

While many supplements positively affect the skin, antioxidants are the supplements that center their duties on those nasty free radicals that affect us all so much. Everyone has free radicals in the body, there is no way to escape their production, but, with the use of anti aging supplements like antioxidants, those free radicals do not have to have such a visible effect.

Anti Aging Benefits of Dead Sea Salts.

The Dead Sea salts contain 21 minerals all thought to exhibit anti aging properties. Of these minerals are magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium chloride, calcium chloride, bromide, sulphates, and water of crystal. The actual sodium content of the water is much lower than that of the oceans of the Earth. Normal ocean water contains 97% sodium chloride, but the waters of the Dead Sea only contain 12 to 18% sodium chloride. The rest of the high salt makeup comes from other salt sources.

When choosing the Dead Sea salts for their anti aging properties, there are two choices for the user. Trips have been set up through travel and health agencies to the Dead Sea for weeks of basking in the waters. Others use the traditional methods of Dead Sea products, lotions, baths, soaps, oils and soaks for use at home. Nearly every Dead Sea salt product will be used in conjunction with water, bath time and soaking.

Trips to the Dead Sea can be extraordinarily expensive; so, many consumers choose to use the available Dead Sea products for home use. The therapeutic and anti aging qualities related to the Dead Sea salts provide a renewal for the skin of the entire body and allow daily usage to keep the new and fresh look from fading away over time.

Due to the high levels of magnesium in the Dead Sea salts, the soaks are thought to increase the skin barrier functionality, reduce skin roughness, reduce skin inflammation and possible reduce other inflammations of the body. The skin effects related to the Dead Sea salts combine together to make the skin appear younger and more vibrant, thus the anti aging effects.
