Hands on, hands off

Hands on, hands off

Don’t overmassage the skin or touch your face too much. A facial massage can help relieve stress, improve elasticity, and provide a healthy glow, but stimulating the skin too much can also irritate sensitive skin and worsen acne, psoriasis, or eczema. Also, try not to touch your skin during the day when your fingers might not be clean (enough said).

Do use the “zipper” technique when applying antiaging creams and serums to fine lines and wrinkles—this will create a crevice-free surface so that the cream/serum can effectively penetrate. Here’s how to do it: Using your index finger and middle finger, gently push the skin on either side of the line outward. Keeping fingers spread, use a finger from your other hand to “zip up” the smoothed-out area in between with product.

Left is right

28 Jul 2009

It seems to me like everything in society is shaped after you all, I’m talking about the right handed people.

The scissors, plastic forks with the built in knife, cellphones, instruments and I wouldn’t be able to write all the things that is not usable for people like me, I’m talking about left handed people.

Moisturizing musts

27 Jul 2009

Moisturizing must

Don’t go overboard with rich moisturizers. While you want to keep your skin supple during summer, you can afford to lighten up—especially since thick doesn’t necessarily equal better. Heavy creams can create a barrier on the surface of your face and keep your skin from absorbing moisture. And formulas that contain synthetic ingredients can trap dead cells and leave your complexion looking dull.

Do use a nighttime face lotion. There’s evidence that skin-cell regeneration is slightly faster at night than during the day, so take advantage of your skin’s receptiveness and don’t skimp on overnight hydration.

Cafe latte

27 Jul 2009

I read that if you drink one cafe latte every day for a year you will gain approximately 6kg. Which is absolutely crazy. That means that I’ll have to run at least 30 minutes every day just so I can have a nice cafe latte!?

Every morning when I get to the train station I buy a cafe latte to go, so I’ll wake up by the time I get to work. Will I quit? Maybe.

Scars

26 Jul 2009

I am so afraid of getting scars because you know, I want to be an actress and it’s probably  not that good having scars all over..

Morning Joe

26 Jul 2009

Morning Joe

Don’t drink too much coffee. While a cup a day—minus whipped cream, sugar substitutes, etc.—may be beneficial, too much Starbucks can be dehydrating. (Your skin needs all the hydration it can get!).

Do lavish your face and body with coffee topically. Numerous studies point to coffee-derived caffeine’s skin-tightening and redness-soothing properties, making it the perfect antidote to undereye pouches and rosacea. In addition to stocking your shelf with caffeine-laced eye and face serums, you might also consider investing in caffeinated anticellulite creams, as they’ve been shown to temporarily lessen the appearance of dimples.
