Preventing Adult Acne

by

It can be quite frustrating to be an adult and still have acne problems. Most people assume that acne is a teenager plague, one that marks a young adult’s skin, not an adult’s. However, acne can affect anyone of any age. It is merely a matter of who has clogged pores and who does not. Luckily, there are some products and methods to prevent the person from experiencing acne and even some great treatments for those who already have acne.

  1. Change your behaviors. A lot of people have a tendency to touch their face. Stop this tendency. A person’s hands are loaded with bacterium, grease, oil and dirt. This can get caught in a person’s pores and cause a blockage. Limiting the chances of the hand touching the face will limit the chances of developing acne.
  2. Limit greasy foods. Greasy foods change the hormones within the body and the grease often gets on a person’s face and hands. All of this can cause acne on a person’s face and can adult acne. Greasy foods frequently cause acne and it also contributes to the feeding of the acne that is already prevalent on the face.
  3. Remove make-up nightly. Sometimes people are too tired to wash the make up off their face after a hectic night. However, the make up will often clog the pores and cause acne throughout the night. Washing make up off nightly only takes a few minutes before falling asleep and can help to prevent acne.
  4. Use specialized anti-acne medication. This medication is topical and can helps to remove the dirt and it helps to kill the bacterium that that is present on the face. These anti-acne medications also help to reduce the size of the pores, and the chances for these pores to become clogged.
  5. If you are dirty, wash up. Wash after exercise or other activities where you become hot and sweaty. This will help to eliminate the potential of bacterium breeding on the face or in the pores.

These suggestions do not take the place of a doctor’s advice. It is recommended that if continued acne problems occur, an appointment with a dermatologist should be scheduled. These professionals can offer other medications or stronger detergents to eliminate adult acne.

Coming Clean by Getting Dirty

Turkish BathEveryone wants to be clean and have soft skin. People spend a lot of time washing their body with harsh detergents and chemical laden lotions. However, there is a natural method of getting clean and having that soft skin that is oh, so soft to the touch. Believe it or not, one of the best ways to get clean and soft skin is to get dirty with mud.

The mud that is used to help clean the body is known as clean mud. This mud has been cleaned, purified and disinfected. There is no chance of finding bugs, sticks or stones in the mud. The mud is cleaned of all of the bacterium that could sicken the person or cause some infection. It is also refined so that mud is in a smooth consistency and the dried mud is almost a powder. Most of the mud is made from lava or volcanic rock.

There may also be other benefits to a mud bath other than just soft skin. The mud bath may also offer the person a clear complexion, the elimination of toxins and joint pain relief. These additional benefits of a mud bath have not been proven, but they are often reported by those who frequently enjoy mud baths. They are said to be incredibly relaxing.

Once the mud bath is over, the individual is required to rinse the mud off. This is often done by allowing the person to first take a shower with mineral water and then a mineral water bath or whirlpool. A soft bath towel is provided by the spa for the people to dry off.

Top Three Halloween Costumes Cop-Outs

by

Halloween has finally neared once again and that means that there are tons of people who will be celebrating this day of dressing up and wearing face paint, and getting down at the many parties that take place. This year, with the holiday falling on Sunday the 31st, you can bet that most people will be heading out to parties on the day prior, Saturday the 30th. I have a good mind to think – much like many other Halloweens in the past – that there will be both a mixture of great costumes as well as some horrible ones that reflect that a person does not either care about this holiday, they didn’t want to spend too much money, or they just copped out on the Halloween costume this year. In case you are wondering, I totally copped out for the Halloween party I plan on attending. And I don’t feel bad about it all. So what follows are the top five Halloween costume cop-outs. If you guessed that I am going dressed as the first one on this list, you get a spooky gold star.

  1. The vampire teeth and eyeliner costume. This one is so easy. I got myself a pair of teeth at a Halloween store for about twenty dollars. Some black skinny jeans, a dark black top and some eyeliner completes this $20 Halloween costume.
  2. The homeless person. We all have some torn up and damaged clothing in our wardrobes. I usually wear these when I am doing my yard work. All you need to do is add some face paint to make it look like you are a vagabond, and you are set. Estimated cost: $5.
  3. The hippie. Hit up any K-mart near you and purchase a really cheap and cheesy, tie-dyed shirt. Add a long hair wig and headband, and some bell-bottomed jeans, and you are good to go. Estimated cost: $10-$30.

Relationships can fail for many different reasons. The most common one, sadly, is that one party has cheated on the other. From this standpoint we must first identify if cheating and breaking the bonds of trust were indeed a factor. Did you cheat on your boyfriend, and did he find out and then break up with you? Paramount to this would be the fact that there are many different aspects of the cheating process. For example, in many instances a person will cheat on their lover with someone that they both know, such as a close friend of them both. In such cases, winning back your boyfriend would be a very difficult prospect, because he did not only lose you due to the affair, but he also lost a friend.

Aside from cheating, there are other reasons why a relationship might go sour. Perhaps you were unwilling to compromise on something that he found to be very important. Some things that come right to mind include, for instance, moving to a new location where he had a job offer and you not supporting his decision. Or, say, you both were fighting and bickering all of the time with no light at the end of the tunnel in sight, and he finally was mental taxed and called it quits on you.

Narcissism 101: Are You a Diva? Some Questions to Ask Yourself

by

We all know people that are narcissistic. If you are not sure what this word means, I will save you some time by telling you what its meaning commutates. No dictionary required. In so many words, someone who is a narcissist is indulging in self love. The world revolves around them. They matter the most. Nothing else compares. They tend to be vain, and admire themselves in the mirror. They tend to be passive aggressive and talk down to others (because no one else could possibly be as smart and suave as they are).

Divas easily fall into this category of people. Don’t confuse Divas with only pop stars, as they know many different faces and both sexes. Rather, Divas can be football stars, actors, actresses, models, rockstars, famous people with attitudes (hint-hint, Paris Hilton), and just about any kind of a-hole that you have ever met who is a drama queen that is stuck on themselves. So are you a Diva? Take the quiz below and see if you meet these high standards of brashness.

  1. Do you have to be the life of the party? The best looking whenever you go out on town? Does who you associate yourself with have to be up to par with YOUR standards? News alert: Diva approaching centerfield.
  2. When things go wrong do you fish for solace? Do you poise loaded questions so your friends offer you comfort to satisfy your ego? If so, add drama queen to diva and you are on the right track here.
  3. Do you frequently interrupt people when they are telling you something personal and important, so that you can recant something that mattered more to you that happened to you, that you find to be more important? This one is self explanatory.
