Wednesday, January 19, 2011

Women today love the idea of having their nails colored that is why they love going to the salon for an afternoon of nail pampering. Most nail salons; however, use nail polishes that are not of good quality with the color getting dull and the polish itself chipping off after a few days. The only way to solve this is with the use of nail polishes from proven brands such as OPI.

OPI has not only been a celebrity favorite but it has also been the nail polish of choice by the fashion industry. What makes OPI stand out from the rest of the nail polishes is that it gives off a shiny and smooth finish with the top coat making the polish last longer.

Jenna Bentley Takes Her Talents To The Beach

I’ve had this Jenna Bentley chick on the site before, not because I consider her any sort of celebrity, far from it, but because she seems to really like showing off those massive funbags of hers in little bikinis. I think that’s a good enough reason don’t you? Anyhow, here she is playing on the beach trying to look natural, ignoring the cameras like she didn’t invite them along for the show. She’s not exactly the most beautiful woman in the world, but those big bouncy friends of hers have got my attention. I want to go a few rounds with those things.

Mila Kunis Gives Me Sexy Looks

Tuesday, January 18, 2011

Obviously most of you already know that the Golden Globe Awards were held last night, I tried to watch, but half a dozen Gin & Tonics and a long ass awards show don’t seem to play well together. Mila Kunis was there and she decided to look pretty damn awesome for me. Here she is in her sexy evening gown giving me bedroom eyes because she knew I was going to get these pictures, you tease, people are watching. Anyhow, I love her and it’s too bad she didn’t win for that swan movie that nobody saw. Enjoy.

Christina Aguilera’s Chubcakes Are Golden

Earlier today I posted some pictures of Christina Aguilera in which she seemed to be putting on a few pounds right before our eyes, her legs looked like they could take down a small mule. So I thought I’d give her another chance by posting some shots of her in her nicest evening gown at the Golden Globes last night. Sadly, she’s still fat. Is she preggers? I must be out of the loop. Anyhow, the only upside to someone like Christina putting on a few dozen pounds is that, at least in the beginning, it all goes to the chest area and I’m all for it. After that, it’s a slippery slope. Enjoy it while you can.

5 Skin Care Rules You Should Follow

Thursday, January 13, 2011

Are you taking good care of your skin the proper way? Many of us think we are doing the right thing in keeping our skin healthy. But on the other hand, there are some seemingly good methods that can actually make our skin age faster.

Here are some of the skin care rules you should follow:

1. Stick to one anti aging cream

Switching from one product to another might harm your delicate skin. There are some chemical formulations and ingredients that might interact with other products. Before switching from one product to another, make sure you allow your skin to rest first before trying out another product.

It is more ideal to look for all-in-one natural ingredients. Choose products that have been loaded with CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10. CynergyTK has been extracted from the wool of sheep. This supplies functional keratin to the dermis. Keratin is an ingredient imperative for the production of collagen and elastin. Phytessence Wakame is a type of sea kelp that can prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid levels dwindle because of some harmful enzymes in the body. You should preserve healthy levels of HA as this is the key to the proper lubrication of collagen. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is what you need to eliminate harmful free radicals in your system. Free radicals are single electrons that damage cells and DNA.

2. Apply your moisturizer immediately after bathing

While the pores of your skin are still open, apply your moisturizer. This will allow your integumentary system to absorb your moisturizer more effectively. As a result, the moisturizing product can penetrate deeper into your skin.

3. Avoid using AHA peelers with more than 10% of acidity content

AHA or Alpha Hydroxy Acid facilitates a renewal of skin tissues. It slowly gets rid of the damaged layers of the skin to reveal younger and whiter skin underneath. However, if you are using a strong formulation, it might be too harmful for your skin. Moreover, it increases photosensitivity. You can easily burn under the sun.

4. Always apply sun block 30 minutes before going outdoors

The sun is extremely damaging to the skin. You might not immediately see the effects right now but the sun is usually the culprit to the appearance of 80% of wrinkles on your skin. You should use sun block products with a high SPF content if you are spending more time outdoors.

5. Exfoliate your dermis twice a week

Exfoliation is the key when it comes to removing dead skin cells. Dead cells tend to block the pores of your skin, thereby preventing moisturizers from penetrating deeper. You can try using a mild exfoliating scrub made up of mashed strawberries and yogurt. Apply it on your damp skin.

And now I would like to invite you to visit goodhealthyskin to find out which are the anti aging products you should use in order to achieve clearer and radiant looking skin.

Beauty Care Basics: Hair Removal

Removing unwanted hair from the body and face has a number of different options that range from quick and easy to more permanent solutions. Depending on the area you want to be smooth and the budget you are on, you can decide which option is best for you.

Shaving: The most common and also the most popular method for hair removal. Both men and women can use blade or electric razors to temporarily remove unwanted hair from the face, legs or underarm areas.
While shaving has relatively no side effects, unless you nick yourself with a blade, it also doesn't last very long. Men usually start to see stubble on the face in about 8 to 10 hours. Women need to repeat shaving legs and underarms at least every second day, if not every day. However, due to the closeness of the blade, shaving with a manual razor does offer a satisfying smoothness.

Laser Removal: Laser hair removal has been used with quite a bit of success, especially on small areas such as the face. Essentially lasers destroy the hair follicle, allowing the existing hair to fall out and preventing new hairs from growing in.

Lasers also have very little side effects, the most common being redness and a possible stinging sensation. However, both of these symptoms are dispelled rather quickly. The procedure is more costly than other methods, but the results are usually permanent, although more than one treatment may be necessary. So, to put it into perspective, think about how much you would spend on temporary methods over the course of a year, and then compare that to a quote for laser hair removal.

Depilatory Creams: Depilatory creams use chemicals to remove unwanted hair and are most commonly used by women for legs and facial hair. The cream weakens the hair shaft allowing it to be wiped away.
It's remarkably simple, but takes a little more time than shaving since the cream must sit on the hair for a few minutes to be effective. Some people with sensitive skin are unable to use these creams, but they work well on normal skin types.

The results of depilatory creams are not permanent like a laser, but they do last longer than shaving, usually about a week or two. So it's great for a vacation or other times when you want a longer lasting effect.
This is just a sampling of the hair removal methods available. Choosing a method comes down to your comfort levels and budget as well as your personal time restrictions. Many people with busy, hectic schedules opt for permanent solutions, while others are simply more comfortable shaving every day.
