How To Calm Red Irritated Skin On Your Face

People with sensitive skin will understand just how difficult it can be to create a good skin care routine and not causing facial skin to become irritated and red.

There are countless products out there which promise instantly glowing skin, such as chemical peels and exfoliating solutions. And while many of these products do have a positive effect on the look of the skin, it’s easy to overdo …

bromelain found in pineapples helps skin healing

Bromelain Benefits for Skin Care

When you eat pineapples you’re also consuming a powerful enzyme known as bromelain. It’s assumed that this enzyme would not survive intact through the gut, but it does, and it’s absorbed by the body where it can do its magic in speeding up healing and improving your skin. Pineapples are available all throughout the year, but I normally enjoy them in the summertime. I will either mix pineapple with other fruit or better throw some in a smoothie. If you ever use pineapple in a smoothie, let the smoothie sit in the freezer after you bit! It’s tastes much better. …

Tocotrienol sources and supplements

3 Best Tocotrienol Supplements (60x more potent than alpha-tocopherol)

Vitamin E has powerful free radical scavenging abilities and acts as a powerful antioxidant when consumed and applied directly to the skin. Tocotrienols are one part of the vitamin E family but represent a small fraction of the vitamin E found in commonly consumed foods. The best way to get a high level of tocotrienols in the diet is to take tocotrienol supplements. Typically, you would get a small number of different tocotrienols from sources such as vegetable oils, nuts, grains, wheat germ, and barley. In these foods, there are four types of tocotrienols, just like their tocopherol counterparts. Research …

foods which help moisturize the skin

How To Moisturize Your Skin From The Inside Out

I’m a fan of skin products, but I know from experience that good skin health starts from the inside first. The foods we put into our mouth can really have a drastic impact on the way we look and how soft and moisturized the skin feels. Having dry skin can cause all sorts of problems like redness, itching, flaking and even accelerate the rate at which the skin ages. Rather than simply slathering on the moisturizer multiple times every day, how about helping your body produce more natural oils and increasing skin lipids to keep the skin well hydrated and …

my daily breakfast on a vegan diet for glowing skin and hair

Vegan Breakfast for Healthy Skin and Hair

Starting off the morning with a good breakfast can really impact how you feel and look for the rest of the day. If you want glowing skin and beautiful thick hair, then opt for a breakfast which is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. Most people who start their day do so in a rush. It can be a coffee, a few biscuits, or a cereal with heaps of sugar. And sure they have some nutritional value, but they’re not the best choices. And many people end up with a crash in the early afternoon. Over the years I’ve experimented with …

oats with beta glucan to improve skin aging

Beta Glucan Benefits for Skin Care

The skin is one of the body’s most important organs and also the largest. It protects your body from pathogens, toxins, injury, and other things which would certainly kill you if you didn’t have this barrier between what makes up your body and the outside world.

How Long Does a Vitamin C Serum Take to Work

When trying to fix your skin, you’re going to need an ample amount of patience. And depending on how deep the damage and problems are, the time it can take for a good vitamin c serum to correct skin problems can vary significantly. There is a wide range of vitamin C serums on the market today, some of them are fantastic, while others are not-so-great, and may even be damaging to the skin. What I’m saying is, you get what you pay for. There are inexpensive serums which include a form of vitamin C that is stable, and I would …

zinc picolinate for acne

Review of Zinc Picolinate for Acne

Acne is an incredibly common condition that will affect most people at one time or another. Could a simple supplement like zinc picolinate be the answer for people who suffer from acne? Did you know that one of the symptoms of zinc deficiency is acne? It recently happened to me and it lasted for months! Nothing worked at all. Back when I was a teenager, I suffered from acne for many years, but the doctors told me there was nothing that could be done about it, except that I would eventually grow out of it, and so they just prescribed …

Skinceuticals Phloretin CF vs CE Ferulic

Since around 2009 I’ve been a huge fan of SkinCeuticals products. In fact, I’ve used almost nothing but this SkinCeuticals from the time my friend introduced me to SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic almost 10 years ago. Since that time, I’ve also experimented with Phloretin CF, and experienced some great results. And now that I’ve used both of these vitamin C serums for a long time, I thought I’d compare Phloretin CF and CE Ferulic. Both are good quality vitamin C serums for the face, and both are excellent choices depending on your skin type and your personal needs. My friend suggested …
