Stop Using Mineral Oil Now!

What is Mineral Oil? Is it Harmful to You? Why is Mineral Oil in so many of the skin care products?

Mineral Oil is derived from Petroleum. Yes, petroleum. It is colorless, transparent, odorless, and tasteless. It has occlusive properties. In plain English it means it sits on top of the skin. It does not allow the skin to breath. It clogs the pores in high concentrations. What should that mean to you? If you or your baby uses products with mineral oil you may be exposing your skins to unnecessary alterations of the skin’s function.

Think about the skin’s function. First remember the skin is the largest organ of our body. The skin is the covering for our muscles, tendons, bones, and ligaments. The skin end on end is over 16 feet long. That is hard to imagine! The skin is a protective layer from the environment. It filters the toxins in the air and what ends up on our skin. Mineral Oil can prevent the skin from working effectively.

The skin has so many functions. It is our temperature regulator, UV protector, protector against bacteria, and injury to name a few. The skin’s role in our body function is very important. It is a big responsibility to take care of our skin. To allow the skin to function at the most optimum use good skin care products and avoid products with Mineral Oil.

Mineral Oil is very cheap. It is easily accessible and frequently used in cosmetics and skin preparations. It some circumstances under medical treatment Mineral Oil can be effective for treating certain skin conditions and traumatic injuries such as burns. Unlike our skin in normal circumstances sometimes the skin needs the protective barrier to prevent the skin from being exposed to the environment.

Do your skin a favor, save the Mineral Oil for necessary medical treatments. Read your skin care labels!

Take care until we meet again,

Frugal Tips - Tricks With Lipstick.

That tube of lipstick, melted or not can be used to substitute other makeup products. Here’s how you can get the most out of a tube of lipstick.

 

What do you do if your favourite lipstick melted in the summer heat?

Don’t throw it away. That would be wasteful. You can still use it with the help of a lip brush. No doubt, it wouldn’t be as glamorous or convenient as slicking it on straight from the tube, but you can still get the pretty look by dipping your lip brush into the melted lipstick and painting it onto your lips.

You can also turn some of your lipstick into a lip gloss.

Do you have a tiny travel size cream jar that’s empty? Wash and dry the jar. Then fill half of that jar with Vaseline. Some women swear by that gooey stuff. It can also be used as a colorless lip gloss and to moisturize dry lips and dry skin while you sleep. Use a clean brush to scoop some lipstick and mix it with the vaseline. For a light hint of color, a little lipstick should do the trick. If you want more color, add in more lipstick. You can even combine more than one lip color to get your ideal shade, for your perfect lip gloss.

Instead of a cream blush, you can save money by using your favourite lipstick as a cream blush. Just take a tiny dab of lipstick and apply that to the apples of your cheeks, then blend it in for that rosy glow. No need to worry about whether your blusher matches your lipstick. By getting your lipstick to double up as cheek color, you’d be certain your lipstick and cheek color match. Only catch is that if you have acne prone skin it might clog your pores. If you are prone to acne, you should stick to powder cheek color as lipstick on cheeks might give you pimples.

Mineral Make Up Will Enhance Your Natural Beauty

Do you have sensitive skin? Are you always breaking out or experiencing facial irritation? Or do you struggle with adult acne? If any of these things are true, you may have just about given up on ever being able to wear makeup again. Fortunately, there is a solution. With mineral make up, you can enjoy your morning make up routine without risking break outs or irritation.

The reason is that mineral make up differs from traditional make up. Unlike traditional make up, artificial colorants and nasty greases and waxes are not include among its ingredients. Instead, all-natural minerals are powdered, ground and purified. This is a long tradition that was already in palce with the Ancient Egyptians, who used ground minerals to color and improve their faces.

This gentle formula will not harm or irritate your facial skin and will not produce irritation or acne. In addition, it was specifically formulated to ensure no change the Ph balance of your skin will occur, preventing oily or dry areas. Mineral make up works to enhance and protect your skin by blanketing the surface and not penetrating the uppermost layer where damage could be caused.

If this weren’t marvelous enough, it is also easy to apply mineral make up, and it looks beautiful in any weather conditions or lighting situation. It is also quick - a light application takes less that five minutes and will make you glow with natural beauty. Many users say they feel and look more "natural" using mineral make ups than with artificial colorants.

To correctly apply mineral make up one should follow three simple steps. First, a sheer cover mineral foundation or pressed mineral foundation makeup should be applied to smooth and beautify the skin. Next, apply a light layer of your favorite color-enhancing mineral makeup across the cheekbones. Finally, apply other make up products you normally use such as eye shadow.


Mineral make up is a great choice if you have regular break outs or even if you only get the occasional pimple. People with sensitive skin can also use mineral makeup. To put on mineral make up it only takes five minutes.

Find your makeup salons in st louis can be hard. Look at this article links and get best information on finding and choosing the best Beauty Salon in St Louis

Choosing Your Beauty Salon

There’s more to it than meets the eye, when it comes to choosing your beauty salon. Beauty now definitely means business, so in case you are confused which salon would suit your tastes, here are some tips on choosing your beauty salon to look your very best!

Choosing Your Beauty Salon A regular visit to the beauty salon is not a luxury anymore. For most women on the go, beauty salons are more than just a place to get your beauty and skin care treatment done. This is where you can unwind yourself, throw your cares to the winds and relax! Whether it is a super hot hair cut or some sexy make up for a night out, salons offer you an excellent lifestyle you need to incorporate in your daily life, to balance your hectic schedules. This is the place where you can discover a new you!

So how does one go about when it comes to choosing a beauty salon? You may have just shifted in a new neighborhood or you may not be entirely satisfied with the beauty and skin care treatments being offered by your regular beauty salon. Grooming ourselves is now not a lavish behavior anymore, for most people it is a way of life and when one needs something done, most people want it done in style. Therefore, when it comes to choosing your beauty salon, you must exercise great caution and care!

 

Tips on Choosing Your Beauty Salon:

  • Any easy way out to know which is the best beauty salon would be to ask your friends around or people in the neighborhood. Referrals are also the best way in choosing your beauty salon. Tap the women in your area, as they will generally be willing to discuss the salon charges, the quality of the service offered and the basic drawbacks of the beauty salon.
  • Beauty salons not only offer you beauty and skin care treatments but also additional services such as advanced manicures and pedicures, cosmetic application, makeovers, massages and varied facials. There are some beauty salons that offer personalized beauty tips and intensive spa treatments, which include reflexology and massage sessions. Therefore, when choosing your beauty salon, it also depends on what are your existing needs. If they are basic, then you can go to a reasonable parlor but if you require more than the regular beauty and skin care treatments, then you need to find out about the authenticity of the place and the reputation in the market.
  • When choosing your beauty salon, you also need to think of the location of the place. Most beauty salons may prove to be more convenient for you if they are located near your home or office. The salon’s location also determines the cost of the beauty treatments, where in, a salon in a prime area would charge more than one that is probably in an isolated area. For such a situation, you need to decide what are your priorities as in most cases; people are known to travel that extra mile, for a good service.
  • The beauty salon’s characteristics and features also play an important part when it comes to choosing your beauty salon. It is basically about the feel good factor. Therefore, check out if the interiors are as per your taste. After all, if you do not enjoy the beauty treatments, then you would probably not enjoy the benefits either!
  • Some beauty salons even sell specific kind of beauty products. You may need to think if you really need the service. This may prove to be useful for the workingwoman who can pick up the beauty products as and when required from the beauty salon. This also gives you an opportunity to try the beauty products when you are doing any beauty and skin care routine. It would help you to know which brands and products suit you the best
  • Before starting any beauty treatment at the beauty salon, you must take a glance at the beauty salon equipments that are being used in the beauty salon. These beauty salon equipments are a must for the salons to function successfully. Beauty salon equipments would include the salon chairs and stools, shampoo bowls, styling chairs, salon stations, hair steamers, facial and massage beds, reception furniture and other things that add to the ambiance of the place.
  • The price factor is also important when it comes to choosing a beauty salon. Most salons have a rate card that will give you a basic idea before you take the plunge into a very inviting beauty treatment.
  • Try to know the degree of cleanliness that is being maintained. Hygiene habits of the employees will help you feel good when you want to try that expensive manicure.
  • Apart from the personalized beauty tips that are being offered, also ensure the quality and the branding of the beauty products used by the parlors. The beauty products form the base of any treatment and using unknown brands may prove to be very harmful for your body.
  • Most beauty salons display their credentials. Ensure when choosing your beauty salon, you select one with qualified beauticians and experts from the field.

I am hoping these tips on choosing your beauty salon; guide you to select the most efficient and reliable one in your neighborhood. Here’s to a new and beautiful you!

Top Tips for Fantastic Skin - Keep Young and Healthy from the Inside Out
Top Tips for Fantastic Skin

Keep Young and Healthy from the Inside Out

When you meet people, what do they see? Your face, your skin, that’s what. Your skin condition can say a lot about your health and your lifestyle. Did you know that your skin is the largest organ of your body? An adult human skin weighs around 5kg (11lbs) and has a surface area of 2 sq. metres (22 sq. feet), which is approximately the size of a double bed. Even with your clothes on that’s a lot of target for damage from the outside - injury, sunlight, cigarette smoke, environmental pollution. So your skin can be damaged by what it is exposed to, and at the same time, it reflects internal emotions (e.g. when you sweat or blush) and conditions (especially the health of your digestive system). The condition of your skin is closely dependant on what you eat.

Nutrition and Your Skin

Nutrition is fundamentally involved at every stage of your skin development. Collagen makes up 70% of your skin and depends on vitamin C. Dry, rough skin (caused by the build up the protein keratin on the outer layers) can be prevented by Vitamin A. The membranes of skin cells are made from essential fats. Dry skin can be caused by a lack of these fats. The flexibility of your skin is reduced as you get older mainly because of oxidation damage caused by free radicals - from pollution, cigarette smoke, fried and burnt foods, sunlight. This damage can be limited by nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E and selenium. Lack of zinc can lead to stretch marks and slow wound healing, and is associated with a wide variety of skin problems from acne to eczema.

Foods to Keep You Young and Beautiful

Foods that can enhance your appearance need to feature as many of the following as possible: antioxidants, antibacterials, fibre to clear toxins, essential fats to support skin and reduced levels of saturated fat and sugar.

The sorts of foods where you’ll get this kind of combination are: fresh fruit and vegetables, wholegrains, fish, pulses, nuts and seeds.

So, to improve your skin, include the following in your diet:

Apricots, cantaloupe melon, carrots, eggs, liver, pumpkin, red peppers, watercress - contain Vitamin A and beta carotene.

Blackcurrants, broccoli, citrus fruits, kiwi fruit, papaya, peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, sweet potatoes and sprouted seeds - contain Vitamin C.

Almonds, avocado, eggs, hazelnuts, olive oil, Sunflower seeds, walnuts - contain Vitamin E.

Brazil nuts, cabbage, chicken, eggs, liver, molasses, mushrooms, onions, seafood, tuna - contain Selenium.

Almonds, chicken, cauliflower, carrots, cucumber, eggs, oats, potatoes, sardines, tuna - contain Zinc.

And reduce your intake of these:

Alcohol

Coffee/tea (no more than 2 cups per day)

Sugar

Saturated fat (found in meat and dairy products).

And think about these other factors:

Avoid strong sunlight and use a sun block (sunlight causes oxidative damage and speeds the ageing process of your skin).

Wash your skin with a gentle oil-based cleanser, not soap, and consider what is in your skin products such as your moisturiser (many cosmetics contains strong petroleum/alcohol based substances -remember these are absorbed through the skin).

Take regular exercise (it stimulates blood flow, which will enhance delivery of oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells).

Drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses per day (1- 1 litres)) to hydrate the skin. Too little water can be a major factor in dry skin.

Consider taking some nutritional supplements: a good quality multivitamin and mineral supplement; vitamin C; an antioxidant blend (containing at least vitamins A, C, E, zinc and selenium); and an essential fatty acid supplement (linseed oil, fish oil or evening primrose oil or oil blend). Remember supplements should be considered as an addition to a good diet and healthy lifestyle, not a replacement for one.

Use a skin brush for your body (upward strokes working from feet to torso) and an exfoliation cream for your face. Exfoliation helps to clear blocked pores and smooth away dead, dry skin.

If that sounds a lot to think about, don’t let it put you off. You can have the skin you deserve, the skin that reflects a healthier you. Just take it step by step. First introduce apricots, cantaloupe melon etc (the Vitamin A foods). Then when you’ve worked through introducing the healthier range of foods, start reducing the alcohol and sugar. In no time at all you’ll be on the road to better health and better skin.

Permanent Cosmetics As A Profession

Permanent cosmetics and career information.

Permanent cosmetics involve the use of tattoos as cosmetics. Rather than apply your lipstick and eyeliner every morning, and then touch it up all day long, you have your lips and eyes permanently tattooed so that they need no maintenance at all. In fact, you can have your whole face made up perfectly, to include eyebrows, eyeliner, eye shadow, and full lip color, so that you need never use cosmetics again. Professionals and stay at home mothers alike will have hours of more free time every day, while still looking their best.

This is at one end of the scale. The other is the man or woman who has been involved in an accident, leaving unsightly scars. What can be done in this situation? A technique called scar camouflage can be used to make some scars less apparent. Pigment can be matched to the client’s natural skin tones to even out the light colored scar tissue. While not completely covering a scar, it can make it less apparent.

Of course this is just a cosmetic change, however to this client it can totally change their life and and help them gain self confidence in public. Would it not make you feel warm inside to know that it might have been you that changed that person’s life? Permanent cosmetics can make that change, so would it not make a wonderful career? Absolutely!

 

So let’s say you did want to take up this worthwhile skill as a professional. What is involved in permanent cosmetics training and licensing? Are there real opportunities available , or is it a closed shop? In fact there are many opportunities available for individuals of different backgrounds. People as diverse as doctors, nurses, tattoo artists, and cosmetologists are expressing an interest in this remarkable art, having seen first hand how life-changing its effects can be. State laws vary, and the first step in your journey would be to check your state laws regarding educational and licensing requirements. Usually the state department of health oversees permanent cosmetic licensing.

What types of skills are required? Many of the procedures used are artistic, such as drawing beautiful eyebrows. Others require paramedical skills and some knowledge of medical issues. A good eye for skin tones and color matching helps. Most of these skills are taught in beginning and advanced permanent makeup classes. The secret is finding good education !

Once you have been suitably trained, imagine owning your own clinic and operating in conjunction with other professionals such as physicians, estheticians, makeup artists, etc. The opportunities are almost unlimited. Referral business is the name of the game ! Once you establish your good reputation in the community, then business will come from all directions.

Cosmetics of any sort are currently big business and offer many opportunities for high earnings. Pricing for permanent makeup procedures ranges from $300 to $800 per procedure, depending on many factors. Those working in a physicians’ clinic usually charge more than those working in a salon or day spa. A tattoo artist or cosmetologist may charge less, however still command prices in the range of $300 to $400 per procedure. How many people do you personally know who can earn an average of $200 to $300 per hour?

 

Imagine the potential of being able to offer permanent cosmetics, and even having these procedures done on yourself? No more need to open that lipstick tube. No more spending ages in front of the mirror each morning. Just a quick shower and off to the clinic or gym!

However, that is the personal side of the career. It is also satisfying to help others like the client with facial scarring whose life was transformed by the use of a camouflage technique. Not all rewards are paid in cash. These are the potential benefits of a career in permanent cosmetics. The fun of setting up a group or practice of like-minded people offering a complete cosmetic service, and owning your own business. The potential high earnings to secure your future. The more intangible rewards of providing real help to people in real need.

Your training should be professional and offered by an educator who has a good reputation and credentials in the industry. The Society of Permanent Cosmetic Professionals can help you find a suitable course and permanent cosmetics training school that will turn you into the professional that you want to be. After reviewing the the SPCP’s guildelines on choosing a school, you will be well prepared to begin your search for education.
