Eating healthy foods: Improving skin complexion

Friday, April 1st, 2011

On the other hand, eating wrong food (meaning: food that is not healthy for your skin and in most cases for your health as well) will negatively affect your skin.

It will often times produce problems like leather-like skin, dark circles under the eyes and lack of rosy color in your cheeks in your skin. Having such skin problems is therefore very annoying, unpleasant and even embarrassing.

As you can see, healthy diet should be your first concern when you want to improve bad skin complexion. Without healthy diet, your skin is not able to improve itself.

But what exactly is healthy diet? That is a good question! But it is also a question that is hard to answer in solely one article such as this one.

Betty Beauty: paraben-free, amonium-free hair dye for your who-ha.

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009
More than a year ago our dear friends, who we’ll call ‘the beauty insiders,” introduced us to bettybeauty: hair dye for the hair down there. The beauty insiders are always way ahead of their time. We tend to be more traditional.
“Planet-friendly pink pubic hair dye?… The freaks will love it!” was our immediate reaction. Our second reaction was, ‘Hope it stays in business until we start seeing grey down there cause I am never putting anything hot pink near my who-ha.” But the beauty insiders begged, pleaded, and, eventually offered us Auburn.
Today is a rare snow day here in North Carolina. We cooked. We caught up on looming, needy emails and organizational tasks. We watched the inauguration. We cried for Obama and applauded Michele’s style. And we dyed our pubic hair auburn.
Being of Italian descent something as playful as deep dark rich red has never been anywhere near the neighborhood of our who-ha’s. Now we can’t figure out why we waited so long. This is tremendous fun, simple, body-image altering, and every woman should try it. If however you count yourself as a member of the grey-hair-down-there club, we assume you will read that ’should’ as a ‘must.’
Bettybeauty was created by the same singular Renaissance woman Nancy Jarecki who also happens to be the creative inspiration behind the E! network, several films, and a soon to be published book on facing adversity. Her husband also invented moviefone so we love her several times over. In case dying your hair down there sounds too odd, challenging, or simply unnecessary I’ll provide detailed, calming information below and also ask you, when was the last time you made yourself into a new woman? Betty is the first step.
contents: Each color kit contains no-drip hair dye made with natural ingredients, tray, customized application wand, spatula, gloves and easy to follow instructions.

YonKa Creme 11

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008
YonKa’s Creme 11 contains enough bioactive ingredients to recreate the face of a woman who has used only dial soap and no moisturizer her entire life.  Suddenly she too can have skin reminiscent of wealthy French women who are born knowing coveted skincare secrets. Creme 11 is the first step in repairing and re-hydrating traumatized (read uncared-for) skin. With consistent use we can all have the coveted skin of said french women who look no older than 30 on their 50th birthdays.

If your skin is prone to redness or sensitive in anyway this is the product that will transform it into glowing, moist, healthy skin.  Creme 11 counts an anti-depressant, St John’s Wort, as an ingredient so it’s no surprise that my face jumps for joy with every application.

Other interesting ingredients include:

Matricaria Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract, Yarrow Extract, Horse Chestnut Extract, Whick Hazel Extract, Horsetail Extract, Saint Johns Wart Extract, Balm Mint Leaf Extract, Gentian Extract, Sage Leaf Extract, Marshmallow Root Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil, and Soybean Oil.
