8 Honey Beauty Tips

Label:



According to the dictionary, honey is a sweet yellowish or brownish fluid produced by various bees from the nectar of flowers. Besides using honey as food, did you know that honey is one of the oldest and most effective beauty aids?

Honey contains waxes, sugars, and traces of minerals. It is a natural moisturizer, as well as an anti-irritant making it suitable for sensitive skin types. Honey can be found in many of the beauty products you find in your local drug store or favorite beauty supply store. Some of these products can be very expensive to purchase and many of these products can be made at home.

Try some of the following honey beauty tips below. Please be sure not to use honey on your skin if you are allergic to it!

1. Honey mask: Apply pure honey to your face and allow it to set until dry. This will take about 15 minutes. Once dry, rinse your face with warm water.

2. Body glow bath: To moisturize, smooth, and get an all over body glow, keep a jar of honey next to your bath. Apply honey on your skin and pat dry using both hands. While patting your skin, the honey will get sticky and gently pull up your skin. Rinse away the honey when you are done. The results will be great circulation and beautiful, glowing skin!

3. Honey bath: For sweet smelling and soft skin, add ¼ to ½ cup of honey to your bath water.

4. Honey scrub: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little almond flour into the palm of your hand. Gently apply on your face for a facial scrub. Rinse your face with warm water to remove honey scrub.

5. Daily facial cleanser: Mix 1 teaspoon of honey with a little milk powder into the palm of your hand. Apply on your face to clean away dirt and makeup and then rinse with warm water.

6. Shiny Hair: To add some shine to your hair, mix 1 teaspoon of honey, a squeeze of fresh lemon, and 1 quart of warm water. Shampoo your hair as usual and then pour the honey mixture on your hair. Allow your hair to dry as normal. You do not have to rinse out the honey mixture.

7. Hair conditioner: For healthy hair and scalp, combine ½ cup of honey and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Saturate your hair with the honey mixture, put on a shower cap and allow it to remain on hair for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, shampoo and rinse your hair as you normally do.

8. Skin toner: To firm, smooth, and moisturize your skin, combine 1 peeled, cored apple with 1 tablespoon of honey in a blender. Pulse honey mixture until smooth. Gently apply honey mixture on face and allow it to remain for 15 minutes. Rinse your face with warm water to remove the honey mixture.

With the above beauty tips, you can create affordable spa-like products at home. Honey is a wonderful beauty product because it contains naturally occurring enzymes, vitamins, and minerals. Be sure your honey is all natural by purchasing only 100% pure honey to create your beauty products.

Beauty Salon Business Plans

Label:



Beauty salons have emerged as a competitive business. A good business plan, therefore, plays a key role in the success of a salon. Beauty salon business plans are necessary if a person wants to expand his beauty salon business or is going to start a new salon.

A good beauty salon business plan gives an appropriate idea regarding the plan for the business's growth. Moreover, a well-formulated business plan helps a lot in seeking potential investors. A company with growth potential is always a safer investment than one that functions in a no-profit, no-loss situation.
Just planning the business is not enough; business plan writing is also an essential aspect. You should seek the help of a specialist to write a winning business plan that can give you that extra edge. A business plan must contain the market and competitor information. A good hair salon business plan must outline details such as scheduling color, nail, cut and styling appointments. It must take into account the latest trends in cutting, blowing, drying, and selling hair care products.

A beauty salon business plan is a stepping stone for the employees and management, as it provides a clear outlook of the company's plans for the future. The beauty salon business plan also allows you to determine the budget needed for the daily operating costs. One can judge one's company's position in the market through this plan.

There are many firms offering software packages for a beauty salon business plan. Some even provide free gifts along with the package. One can easily download a fully completed beauty salon business plan from the Internet. A fully completed plan can easily prepare accountant-endorsed financial forecasts and plan, thereby eliminating potential errors. A few third-party software packages do not take responsibility for the content or accuracy of the software.

Are You a Healthy Woman? Check Again

Label:



Your medical exam results are always effortlessly perfect and you see to it you have yourself checked every year. Diet and exercise is on your everyday agenda and yeah you do practice safe sex - except for that one time. You think you are healthy enough and that everything is in tip top shape but there could be a few spots you're missing. Allow me to enumerate them for you and guide you as well on how to change these behaviors.
  1. You're either the office gal or the party animal, so yes your wardrobe has the typical tight fitting jeans, pantyhose without the cotton crotch, nylon panties or anything that would hold in heat, moisture and restrict airflow. You may not know it but these contribute to yeast infections or worse - vaginitis - which cause you to have painful urination or even pain during sexual intercourse.
  2. Just because you go see your gynecologist for a Pap smear every year and you perform a self breast exam every month doesn't guarantee that you have nothing to worry about. Every woman aged 20 and above needs a comprehensive physical exam every 1 to 2 years to screen for health conditions such as heart problems or diabetes.
  3. So you forgot to tell your partner to wear a condom that one time? It wouldn't do you any harm like it was just one time, right? One time unprotected sex could lead you to a sexually transmitted disease that include HIV or hepatitis. If you aren't in a monogamous relationship then do make sure you always let your partner use a condom or save him the trouble by being prepared with a pack of condoms yourself. Birth control pills or spermicides do not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases, only from unwanted pregnancy.
  4. Osteoporosis is the leading cause of morbidity in women aside from heart diseases, so make sure you get the adequate amount of calcium your body needs. Cut out the martinis and opt for a glass of fresh milk instead before you go to bed or even as a replacement for that cup of coffee you gulp down on the way out to office in the morning. Calcium is a vital nutrient throughout a woman's life, so make sure you get a daily dose of it.
  5. Stressed? Rather than picking up that lighter and smoking your lungs out, opt for breathing techniques instead or grab that stress ball and squeeze on it a few times. You may think smoking eases the stress but the chemicals in one stick are enough to cause you more health problems than you know.
  6. Hitting the gym once a week may do good but jogging every day for even at least 30 minutes will do you better. Engaging in regular physical activities will reduce the risks of heart diseases, cancer, diabetes and PMS.
  7. Every one of us is guilty about the one time we went out to grab a bite to eat but ended up eating a bit too much. Overeating will lead to weight gain. This not only leads to weight gain but to diseases such as heart problems, high blood pressure, diabetes and even gallstones. Eat all meals in moderation and if you get the urge to binge, grab a cup of yogurt or an apple instead. It's healthier plus it'll satiate your hunger.
  8. Remember me mentioning stress? Well, if you know you've already reached your limit then don't over exert yourself. Go ahead and take a break. You deserve it and your body does too.

A Healthy Eating Plan For Women Of All Ages

Label:


A healthy eating plan for women of all ages is necessary because women have different nutritional and dietary needs than men. As women age, our body goes through changes in a variety of stages that lead to weight gains. If you talk to teenage girls that enter the menstrual period, you hear the same complaints you hear from menopausal women and those going through pregnancy. For this reason, a healthy eating plan for women of all ages can be essential!

It doesn't matter what age you are, there are food choices that can help reduce PMS, fight the weight gain of excess stress and ease the symptoms of menopause. If you are searching for a healthy eating plan for women of all ages, there are a few things to be incorporated.

Basic Rules In A Healthy Eating Plan For Women Of All Ages:
A healthy eating plan for women of all ages includes cutting back on alcohol and caffeine because drinking more than two alcoholic drinks a day slows your fat burning rate down. When your liver is busy trying to detox alcohol it is processing body fat at a much slower rate (73% slower! And that lasts for 3 days after drinking alcohol!!)Hormone levels change with caffeine and causes additional calcium loss. You need plenty of iron because women lose this essential mineral. Eat plenty of red meat, dark poultry meat, spinach, and iron-rich cereals, to counter this problem.
Get plenty of calcium from plant-based sources like beans, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts because relying on dairy can be counter-productive, due to high fat and protein, which accelerates bone loss. Focus on whole, plant-based foods, such as grains, beans and plenty of leafy green vegetables, to get fiber and natural calcium.

Control Cravings And Boost Energy:
 A healthy eating plan for women of all ages should include foods that control cravings and boost energy. If you focus on complex carbohydrates, you get energy benefits, but not the weight gain of simple carbohydrates that turn to fat. Cut out junk foods and eat regularly, to keep your blood sugar levels normal, which controls insulin releases that cause cravings. If you eat breakfast each day, you get your metabolism revved and avoid peaks or troughs in your insulin releases.

Understand The Benefits Of Healthy Fat:
 There are many benefits to healthy fat, including increased concentration, vibrant skin, hair and nails and you are better able to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, like A, D, E and K, which contribute antioxidants. Fat is dense in calories, so it controls cravings and eases the spike of blood sugar that comes from eating carbohydrates.

Add Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D:
A healthy eating plan for women of all ages should include essentials, like calcium, magnesium and Vitamin D. Some of the best sources are salmon, eggs, leafy green vegetables, oatmeal, garlic and certain seeds, like flax, sunflower, sesame and pumpkin.
A healthy eating plan for women of all ages incorporates the foods that include these essential ingredients, for the best health. If you are on a weight loss diet, make sure you include this healthy eating plan for women of all ages and supplement it with cardio and strength training, for the best weight loss results.

7 Beauty Tips For Acne Prone Skin

Label:


Acne. 
Boy do I hate it. 
Those pimples popping up all over my face back in my teenaged years. Even now, I do get acne outbreaks when I am stressed, or use the wrong skin care product. I've been to many doctors who are able to clear my acne, until the next outbreak.

Part of the reason is oily skin. Greasy skin that traps dirt and skin debris clogging up pores make your skin pores an excellent breeding place for bacteria. The bacteria multiplies and voila. You have acne.
All is not lost. If you have oily skin that is prone to acne, here are 7 beauty tips to help keep the pimples away.

1. Keep your HANDS off your face.
You hands, after touching so many things, opening the door, picking up a bag, things we do everyday, are covered with bacteria. The last thing you want is to put that bacteria on your face. Touch your face often with your hands, or worse still, pick those pimples with your fingers, and you will see the pimples multiply.

2. Keep your HAIR off your face.
If you have oily skin, you probably have oily hair. Oily hair brushing against your face adds to the oil. Oil, sweat and skin debris are a great way to clog the pores in your skin, leading to more pimples. If you notice pimples appearing on your forehead, or your cheeks and chin, typically where your hair might brush against, your hair could be the culprit. Wear a hairband, use hair clips to keep your hair off your face, tie it into a pony tail, or get a hair cut.

3. Wash your face 3 times a day with a good acne cleanser.
I got that tip from a doctor. I washed my face when I woke up, at lunch time and at bedtime with a cleanser that is meant for skin that has acne. My skin cleared when I stuck to the routine and used only skin care products meant for skin with acne. A bar of soap meant for washing your face does the trick just as well.

4. Stick to acne skin care
Every time I stray from that point, I end up with a major acne outbreak. Always. Everytime I see my pals with exceptionally radiant skin, I want to use whatever they use. I would switch to richer, anti aging skin care as a preventive measure, worried about wrinkles appearing when I get older. That backfires every time. I end up with more pimples. Stick to good acne skin care products [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/acne.htm].

5. Relax
 Did you notice how pimples tend to appear more before a stressful event. Exams. A big date. A presentation. Stress wreaks havoc on your skin. Ok, pimples can also pop up due to hormonal imbalances, like just before your period.

6. Sleep
Your skin heals itself when you sleep. Your entire body heals itself in your sleep. A night without sleep may lead to more pimples. Make it a habit to leave your worries behind and get a good night's sleep. Work out more earlier in the day. Get some exercise before evening. It helps.

7. Stay away from pressed powder compact.
Yup. You heard me right. I got this tip from a friend. Her friend used a pressed powder compact to hide her acne. Instead, the more she used it the worse it got. Just think. By mid day, your skin gets oily. You take out the powder compact, and use that powder puff to apply pressed powder on your face. Now, your face would already have dirt, bacteria and oil on it. Pat your face with that powder puff and now that puff picks up the dirt, bacteria and oil. You put it back into the compact. The bacteria happily breeds in there. Then you take out the compact again and pat more powder, mixed with oil, dirt and bacteria onto your face, picking up more gunk, putting in more gunk into your compact. The cycle goes on. A better bet would be to use blotting paper to blot off the excess oil instead. Then you can throw the paper away after use. Use the blotting paper meant for your face like the ones found at [http://www.everythingbeauty.info/blotting%20paper.htm]

About this powder puff thing, make it a point to wash your powder puff and all your make up brushes regularly, with soap and water. Then dry them completely before you keep them. Guess that would make it an 8th tip right?

Oily, acne prone skin needs a lot of care. The bright side is that oily skin is slower to show signs of aging than dry skin. Take care of your skin and you'll probably look younger than your peers as the decades go by.
