Everyone is so concerned with their looks, their beauty or lack thereof. This is due to television and movies and the ideas that they are putting into our childrens heads about what you have to look like in order to be successful.
Take a good look at the models in magazines, the movie stars in the block buster movies. What do you see? Flawless skin, flat stomachs, nice physiques, and perfect teeth. We all know that they were not born that way, but we still try everything under the sun to be like them, to look like them.
I have a nine year old daughter and I fear the day that she tells me she thinks she is fat or that she isnt pretty. So, I decided to sit down and find some beauty tips, health tips and diet tips for all of us out there who wish to look like a model or have a daughter that they worry about.
As long as you eat healthy, exercise and do the doctor recommended things to take care of yourself; like washing your face daily, brushing your teeth twice a day, you are going to be beautiful. Here are just a few of the healthy beauty tips that I have found through my ventures on the internet.
Fruit juices and a variety of vegetables are not only good for your overall health, but they are also good for your skin and for rejuvenating the body with the antioxidants that help to flush out the toxins in your body. Oranges are great for the immune system as we all know, but did you also know that they are good for your skin? They work as a cleanser to make the skin shiny. Mixing lemon juice with warm water and honey it will help to keep your complexion clear. Those are just two, out of hundreds of beauty tips, which you can find if you research.
If you are one to read blogs or even write them, do some research. There are many blog health sites to read as there are a bundle of beauty blogs to read. There are pages upon pages of information out there that you can dig around on to get good beauty tips and health tips. You dont have to pay thousands for plastic surgery, you just have to eat healthy, exercise and take care of yourself.
Be a good role model for those girls out there, that look up to those singers and movie stars that give them the wrong impression on what a woman has to look like in order to be successful.

DIY Natural Health and Beauty
1 commentsDIY Natural Health and BeautyMany of the things we use every day are easy to make using simple, natural ingredients. Learning to make your own everyday products will save you money, provide you with better products, and help you to benefit our environment. I make a lot of my own health, and beauty products. While this can be a long, complicated process, it doesn't have to be. I use easy-to-find ingredients with quick easy recipes. In this article I will tell you about plain ingredients and give simple instructions for several common health and beauty products that will help free you from the burden and expense of high-profile commercial products!
There are a lot of "all-natural" cosmetic lines on the market now. Unfortunately, these specialty products are often outrageously expensive, and people give up on trying to use healthy things because they can't afford "the best".
One of the main ingredients I use is Dr. Bronner's pure liquid castile soap. This is a product that has been on the market for years and can be used for many, many things. My favorite DIY beauty product is a shampoo/body wash/shaving cream that I make using Dr. Bronner's castile soaps. Pure, liquid castile soap mixed 50/50 with a NATURAL OIL (see natural moisturizers) makes a fine shampoo. You won't need a conditioner! If your hair is oily, reduce this to 2/3 soap & 1/3 oil, or even 75% soap & 25% oil. (If VERY oily, just use the soap!)
Dr. Bronner's liquid soaps come in a variety of scents. Remember, these scents come from the essential oils of organically grown plants, not from a chemistry set! Here are a few of the "flavors" you can choose from:
Dr. Bronner's peppermint soap has a crisp refreshing scent and is a bit tingly when used directly. It makes a nice addition to the bath and is the good basis for a shampoo for dandruffy scalp.
Dr. Bronner's lavender soap has a delicious scent and is wonderfully relaxing as a bath additive. It is a good basis for a shampoo for oily hair.
Dr. Bronner's tea tree soap has a bit of a medicinal scent and would be a good basis for a shampoo for a dandruffy scalp or for use with any other skin conditions.
Olive oil, almond oil and walnut oil are affordable, easily available oils that are good for moisturizing, body, feet & hands. They should also be used as the basis for the all-natural shampoo and body wash using Dr. Bronner's soaps.
Olive oil is a bit heavy and very good for extra dry skin, especially in winter. Its rich scent makes it a good oil for products for men.
Almond oil is a light & lightly scented oil. It is nice to use for everything and especially nice in combination with Dr. Bronner's Almond Oil soap.
Walnut oil is my current personal favorite. It is inexpensive, light, and unscented. I recommend it for all uses. It is good used alone as a body rub after a bath.
Another good thing to have for after bath is powder. Corn starch/Baking soda mixed equal parts make a great body powder & deodorant. I make a couple of pounds for a couple of dollars! If you have time, you can mix the cornstarch and baking soda, then put the mixture in a tightly sealed jar with a sachet of spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.) to give the powder a nice scent. Let it sit for a couple of weeks, then remove the sachet. This mixture can be sifted through a flour sifter or run through the blender (in very small batches) if it is too coarse.

The use of these liquid soaps and natural oils will go a long way toward helping you achieve healthy shining hair and smooth, supple skin on your body, feet and hands, but what about your face? Clean, healthy skin is far more beautiful than layers of cosmetics, and it is easy to achieve! Pure soap, clean water, a washcloth, and pure aloe vera gel will do it! Depending on your skin type, some essential oils may be added to address specific needs.
Here are a few ideas! In addition to his excellent liquid soaps, Dr. Bronner makes fine bar soaps. Of course, you can use the liquid soap just as well, but I thought you might like this option. Here are some choices in the bar soaps: health and beauty
Dr. Bronner's Peppermint soap is a good soap for oily skin. I use this in the summertime when I am working outside a lot.
Dr. Bronner's Lavender Soap has a lovely, relaxing scent and is nice to use when preparing for bed.
Dr. Bronner's Almond soap is a bit more luxurious and moisturizing. It is good for dry skin and good to use in the winter time when the air is dry and cold.
Dr. Bronner's Tea Tree soap is a bit medicinal and good to use for oily and problem skin.
Dr. Bronner's Rose Soap is a lovely scent treat. It is nice to use before bed or before a special occasion.
After washing your face with the Dr. Bronner soap of your choice, rinse thoroughly with warm water, then finish up with cold water to stimulate and tone your skin and tighten your pores.
You will want to follow up with a toner. You may be surprised to know that you don't have to spend a fortune to get a good toner. Witch Hazel is an excellent natural toner. Apply it with a cotton ball or splash it on after washing your face and before applying moisture. Witch Hazel comes plain or in a variety of scents. Choose a scent that complements your soap, or just use plain (that's what I use!)

Natural Health and Beauty is Healthy Beauty
health and beauty
A healthy skin is determined by our life styles, and also by what we eat and drink. Skin that is healthy can also help you make sure that your entire health is much better as well. In addition to boosting yourself confidence, healthy skin is an indicator of a healthy body. Taking proper care of your skin can do more to enhance your appearance than all the lotions and creams applied to cover up unhealthy skin, it can even help you avoid the rashes and other diseases which necessitate an expensive visit to a dermatologist.
Organic creams provide your skin with external nutrition that keeps it looking healthy and allows you to age gracefully. People who use natural skin care products are less concerned with artificial beauty enhancements, as they feel that natural beauty is healthy beauty. So if you want to have a healthy skin, drink plenty of water, exercise regularly, reduce stress, sleep well and eat healthy. Stay away from sodas or drinks with caffeine, which dry the skin, use a humidifier to increase the level of moisture in the air, treat your skin right in the winter months and youll have health and beauty glowing skin to put on show once summer arrives.
There is strong evidence that one of the adaptations resulting from exercise is a strengthening of the body's antioxidant defenses, particularly the glutathione system, to deal with the increased oxidative stress. Exercise your brain and body through challenging but fun activities that enhance your learning, visualization, creativity and speech. Proper use of nutrition, diet, herbs and supplements to boost your mental powers. Free your brain from stress, depression, downward spiral and negativity around your environment. Provide therapy information about harmful environmental and lifestyle inhibitors that could be preventing your system from reaching its maximum functions. Suggest natural vegan and organic products that truly works in your body system. Thinking about of what you can do about your aging process and discovering ways to maintain and reform your health and beauty is entirely up to you.
Do strength training exercise, especially with the large muscle groups (chest, back, and thigh) at least 3 times a week, 15 minutes each time to increase growth hormone secretion. While regular exercise can enhance our antioxidant defense system, excessive sporadic exercise can increase free radicals in our system. Thus, the "weekend warrior" who is predominantly sedentary during the week but engages in vigorous bouts of exercise during the weekend may be doing more harm than good.
Although regular exercise produces many positive health benefits, it also causes an increased production of free radicals. Free radicals are formed both during normal metabolism, and whenever the body is exposed to stresses such as pollutants in the air (cigarette smoke), food (Trans-fats), water (heavy metals), and even excessive exercise. Indeed, intense or prolonged exercise can cause radical-mediated injury to skeletal muscles, particularly in untrained individuals. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is strong interest in the effects of antioxidant supplements on exercise performance.
But when used properly, in combination with eating ahealthy diet full of fruit and vegetables, getting plenty of exercise and not smoking, antioxidant supplements can play an important role in maintaining and promoting overall health. Taking antioxidants such as vitamins C and E or beta-carotene, probably also improve recovery after exhaustive exercise.
Remember antiaging is a combination of several different antiaging treatments that should be balanced together to help keep your whole body healthy. You should consult with a health and beauty care professional before starting any diet, exercise or supplementation program, before taking any medication, or if you have or suspect you might have a health problem.
Natural Skin Care
Natural Skin Care
Skin Types
Basically there are there types of skin textures: normal, oily and dry. Two other skin types are combination and sensitive skin.
Normal Skin
This type of skin is neither too oily, nor too dry. It is not oversensitive to wind, harsh sunlight, or cold. It does not have open pores, lines or acne. It has a smooth texture. It poses little problems unless it has been neglected or abused.
Oily Skin
Generally people develop an oily skin in their teens. Overproduction of oil by the sebaceous glands leads to an oily skin. People who have an oily skin should avoid oily food, starches and sugar. They need a rigid skin care regime and should remove every trace of make-up every night before going to bed. While bathing, mild exfoliates should be used.
Dry Skin
Normally associated with ageing, some people have a naturally dry skin. In this case too, the right nourishment can work wonders. Along with this you need to have a moisturising routine.
COMBINATION SKIN:
A combination of dry and oily types is known as combination skin or T-zone(to indicate the "T" of your forehead and nose where combination skin tends to be oilier.
SENSITIVE SKIN:
Sensitive skin usually describe any skin types which responds especially quickly and adversely to sudden changes of temperature or humidity and bruises very easily;it is also allergic to many cosmetic products.
Thus we see that all types of skin require care. The bath time is best for an overall skin caring routine. Bath time should not be a mere spartan exercise of cleansing the body. It should also be a time to revitalize your body and skin. True, in today's rush and run lifestyle, a morning bath can at most be a quick cleansing routine that 'wakes' you up for the day ahead. However, you could devote some extra time at night before going to bed when you bathe again. Also, a weekly, leisurely, rejuvenating bath should become a routine. This is when you could attend to your skin, and deal with any problem.
Tiny body pimples caused by over secretion of the sebaceous glands are a result of poor circulation. Use a loofah or coarse mitt to scrub these away and renew your skin. A pumice stone should be used for your heels and other rough areas like elbows and knees. Normal wrinkling of the skin can be attended to while bathing. Rub some moisturizing cream or lotion before the bath. Massage well, and then wash away.
You would be surprised to know that your kitchen is a magical box that has all the ingredients to make you beautiful. Expensive creams and lotions are certainly not the answer to your beauty problems. Flowers, fruits, vegetables and other natural things can provide the answers to a lot of skincare problems. So let's start with something really exciting and unusual...but very simple.
How to identify you Skin Type
THE TISSUE TEST
Wash your face with a neutral (not made for a particular skin type) soap or cleanser (such as Neutrogena for normal skin).Rinse with water. Pat try with a towel just enough to absorb moisture do not rub. Wait one hour, and then blot your entire face with one ply (or layer) of a large facial tissue. Press lightly all over your face and leave for about one minute. Then remove the paper carefully and examine it near a window or a light. What do you see?
* If you see oil throughout the tissue, you most likely have oily skin.
* If you see oil only in the T-zone (across forehead, down nose and chin), you most likely have combination skin.
* If you see very little oil throughout, you most likely have normal skin.
* If you see no sign of oil at all, you most likely have dry skin.
* If your skin feels irritated or slightly itchy, you most likely have sensitive skin.
For years, we have heard that healthy living can help you age well. Living a healthy life will lower your mortality across the entire lifespan, even if there is no impact on aging and age-related changes. It turns out that from the point of view of longevity, your healthy spirit and your healthy mind are equally (if not more) important as your health and beauty body.
When there are not enough antioxidants to hold peroxidation in check, free radicals begin damaging healthy cells which, in turn, can lead to problems. So eat a healthy and varied diet and be sure to eat some tomatoes, brazil nuts, blueberries, fish, kiwi, and broccoli each week. Poor diet, an unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and toxins in our environment can all dramatically increase the levels of free radicals in our bodies.

The Magic of Natural Thai Health and Beauty Treatments
Eastern beauty, I discovered, had much to do with these ancient healing traditions. This is a world you can enter if you wish, wherever you may live.
Enter the world of Thai beauty and reclaim soft skin, lustrous hair, and regain your vitality and passion. And perhaps more importantly gain a inner harmony that lights you up from within.
The Heart of Thai Health and Beauty Treatments
Nowadays, more and more people are turning to ancient Eastern ways to find the answers to their health and beauty problems. The main reason for this is that people are become increasingly disenchanted with allopathic quick-fix ways of masking the symptoms and doing little to treat the underlying condition. Eastern natural beauty tips are becoming increasingly popular in the form of ayurvedic and Indonesian treatments.
People are becoming more aware, too, of the folly of taking artificial products and the effective and gentle potency of natural treatments. So it's natural that people gravitate towards the ancient systems of Asia. These eastern ways offer holistic approaches that work on the whole body thus allowing the body itself to fix its own problems and optimize itself.
Treatments from ancient China such as acupuncture and Indian ayurvedic therapies have entered the mainstream of Western health and beauty treatments. But the natural beauty tips of Thailand remain in mystery.

The origins of traditional Thai treatments are lost in the mists of time. However, the father of traditional Thai medicine is regarded to be Shivago Komarapaj, a contemporary of the Buddha. And as the Thai approach works by gently harmonizing the whole system, it has great applications for beauty, too. For example, herbs promote inner cleanliness which leads to clear skin and hair that's alive and shining. Plus these herbs applied externally can work wonders on the skin, face and hair.

Natural Health and Beauty: Cosmetics From The East
Anyone who's visited Thailand has commented on the beauty of the women, especially their silky-smooth skin and shining hair. More strikingly, even women of mature years exude a grace, glow and vitality that's stunning. What's the secret?
I set out to investigate. I knew it was not due to some quirk of fate or genetics. So it had to involve lifestyle factors. My quest took me to remote villages set among emerald paddy fields, to ancient temples steeped in serenity, and to the most opulent and exclusive spas patronised by royalty and the jet-set.
The answers I found were part of an ancient culture rooted in both the serenity of Buddhism and in a rare harmony with nature.

Aging skin is the result of damage to cellular components by free radicals, which cause the oxidation of proteins, lipids, cross-linking of proteins and damage to DNA. The cumulative damage from free radical activity, which is generated by normal metabolism of the cell and exposure to radiation and toxins, eventually results in cells that can no longer function. Aging skin is inevitable but skin exposed to the sun will cause appearance of wrinkles and brown spots associated with aging. In natural aging, skin loses its youthful appearance by becoming thinner, laxer and more finely wrinkled.
Flax seed oil is an excellent source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFAs) which is essential for supple-looking skin. As the lifespan of people has increased, the need to keep the skin healthy and youthful-looking has grown in importance.
