Cold Weather Makeup Advice

By Makeup Girl

Have you ever noticed how much more difficult it is to apply your mascara and eyeliner when the winter chill starts to set in? Your mascara might be just a little stiffer coming out of the tube which makes a clean application near impossible. Or perhaps your eyeliner is much harder than usual and doesn't even seem to leave any color on your eye lid. It's because the cold of winter can pose a few problems with makeup application, especially when it comes to eye makeup. I have a few makeup tips that I use on a regular basis that I hope will make your life a little easier.

The key to a smooth eyeliner application is to have it be the right temperature. It is so frustrating when eyeliner is too cold and hard and doesn't seem to want to go on. The exciting thing is that each of us has a secret weapon; our bodies. Your body heat has just the right effect on your eye makeup to get it to the perfect temperature without over warming it. If you just stick your eyeliner right next to your hip letting the elastic on your pants hold it to your body, after a few minutes, it will be ready. I always do my hair while my eye liner warms up.

This same tip is great for your mascara. When it's too cold, mascara is often more difficult to deal with than eyeliner. When it's cold, your lashes end up looking clumped together and stiff. Using your body heat works great to avoid letting your mascara ruin your makeup look. I've found that it takes a little bit longer to warm up than the eyeliner, so you'll want to give it a few extra minutes. You'll find that the time is worth it when your mascara then goes on smoothly.

The key to beautiful lashes is a nice curl to them. So my final tip will help you get a great curl in your lash. Just like previous tips mentioned, getting the right curl involves warming your eyelash curler. You wouldn't expect your hair to curl on a cold curling iron would you? Just as your hair curls best on a warm curling iron, your eyelashes will curl best on a warmed eyelash curler. You can use your body heat to warm your eyelash curler too.

Sometimes I find myself in a rush. In these cases, I simply run my blow dryer over it for a few seconds to warm it up. If you use your blow dryer, be cautious not to heat it up too much. Your eye area is sensitive, so test the temperature of the curler with your finger. With these cold weather tips, you can still look great and create beautiful winter makeup looks. - 16083

Discount Suits When Times Are Tough

By Victor Santerino

The big recession has brought more attention to the individual balance sheet than any other event in recent years. People want to save money anywhere they can, and business clothing is no exception.

Stores are yearning to sell consumers discount suits as much as people are yearning to buy them. I wrote this article to give you a better idea of where to find these discounts.

Traditionally I have told people to move past the department stores and specialty shops and move towards e commerce, thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales. This still holds true in some cases but not all.

The department stores have now become a great place to look for discounts. Stores like Macy's and Sears are desperate for customers and are slashing prices almost as much as Wal-mart.

Failing stores can be another fantastic place to find superb deals on suits and other formal wear. Some stores are closing down in an effort to keep the company alive. The only note of caution is that these stores will not be taking returns.

Estate sales and yard sales have traditionally been great places to find used suits at costs that are almost negligible. In addition to the already low prices, many times people running these sales are willing to take offers which can save you over 50 percent off the listed price.

Shopping local thrift stores can be a fun way to save money on local used suits. However, this is not always the most efficient way to quickly find some nice suits.

Web sites all over the world can provide suits at much lower prices than most brick and mortar stores. These companies have fewer overhead costs and as a result you save money by buying from them rather than a traditional store. - 16083

Muscle Building After Your 40th Birthday

By Ricardo d Argence

They say that age is just a number, but when it comes to work outs and staying in shape that age factor is a definite factor in how you will approach your fitness regimen. Some people want to say that they are over 40 and they use their age as an excuse for not maintaining a healthy lifestyle and a regular workout routine.

Your age should not be used as a carte blanche permission slip not to exercise and stay fit. If you approach weight training, diet and work outs the correct way you can maintain a remarkably healthy and fit body for many years, regardless of your age. Weightlifting and bodybuilding routines can be used to increase bone density, lose weight, become healthier and more fit, and reshape your body.

It is well known that individuals who practive regular physical fitness tend to have a better outlook on life, and are balanced emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Exercise also causes the brain to release endorphins which increase happiness and the feeling of wellness.

When you are 40 years old and older you might want to make a couple of changes in your workout, but you do not have to be victim of the publicity about aging. With age, the muscles and joints become less supple, further necessitating appropriate amount of stretching and warm up before exercising.

A fifteen minute stretching and warm up period will help increase your suppleness, and lower the chance of sports injuries. Your muscles will be more conditioned the more you stretch properly and completely.

Next should come a 15 minute cardio session on a treadmill, an elliptical training machine, a stair stepper, or a stationary bike. You are not going for the gusto with this exercise, but you do want to get your heart rate up a little and you want to build upon the limbering and stretching that you just completed. This exercise will let your body know that you are serious about doing some work.

You will want to follow this warm up by doing reps with the correct weights, you should consider light weights for this workout, if in addition to this you are doing circuit training or a free weight routine you will not have the stress of heavy weights.

The pyramid system is preferred among numerous bodybuilders, this system involves performing more reps with less weight, and then as you increase the amount of weight, you start reducing the number of reps that you do. This method of weightlifting has great success for those who want to add muscle and bulk to their bodies. Focusing on proper form throughout the lift must be uppermost in your mind, even though doing so may require that you reduce the weight or the number of repetitions. This does not only reduce your risk of an injury, but it also maximizes your results.

You should be training with weights at least four days per week and each session should be no more than 30 to 45 minutes. One could repeat a cardio workout to wind down after lifting weight. This also give your heart and lungs strength. - 16083

Your digestive system efficiency changes when your metabolic rate slows.

Hormonal changes in the body can also affect the shape that you are in but there is one thing that always remains the same at all ages - If you eat too much food and drink too much alcohol you will gain weight.

Checking Your Dentist`s Credentials

By Amy Nutt

While the majority of dentists are good at what they do, there are always a few bad apples. Unfortunately, by the time you realize that you've chosen a bad one, the damage will have been done. To prevent possible problems, it`s a good idea to do a credential check on your dentist, to be sure that he or she hasn't had any problems in the past.

There are two main ways to go about checking credentials for your dentist. Here we will look at both and you can choose which is best for you.

State Boards All dentists must be registered with the state Board of Dental Examiners. They can provide you with a list of dentists, or you can find this online as most states make the list easily available on their website. You should be able to do a simple search for your dentist`s name and the following information will be made available.

- Address - Phone number - License number - License issue date - End of record mark

The number that concerns you here is the license number. You can use this to get further information about the dentist you are interested in by contacting the state Board of Dental Examiners. In some states, this can be done online, but in many, you`ll need to actually call the board up.

With the license number, you`ll be able to find out if the dentist has a valid license and if any disciplinary measures have ever been taken against him or her. You will need the number for your particular state`s board so you can call them up and ask for information about the dentist in question. Any other problems with their practice will be available to you, as well, so you can make your choice as to whether or not you`ll make an appointment with that particular dentist London Ontario. If you are checking out more than one dentist, be sure to have all the license numbers on hand for reference.

Online Searches If you don`t wish to go through all the hassle of looking up your dentist`s license number and calling to find out more information, you will find that there are websites that specialize in providing information about dentists in your area. All you need to do is type in the dentist`s name and the information will come up. Most sites do charge a fee to see all the information, that which you would be able to find out for free by calling the state board.

Most people will find that it`s simply easier to pay the small fee and have the information immediately and conveniently. You`ll have access to any dentist on the list and will be able to quickly scan through and find out which ones in your area have had problems with the Board before. This is immensely helpful in choosing a dentist.

It`s just common sense to find out whether or not your dentist is a good one or has complaints against him before you arrange any dental work. You wouldn't leave your car with just any mechanic, so why would you let just any dentist touch your teeth? It pays to find out who you`re trusting with your mouth!

Take the time to do a little research, find out if any disciplinary action has been taken against the dentist in question and to ensure that their license is still up to date. You`ll be very glad of it if you should find out something unpleasant, and if you don`t, you`ll still have peace of mind while you sit in the dentist`s chair. - 16083

2 Great Options For Fast Weight Loss

By Clayton Thomas

So how does losing weight quickly and naturally sound? I don't know what other people have told you, but I can say this, if you follow proper techniques and strategies, it isn't that hard to burn that extra fat! Many experts suggest that you diet; however we all know that dieting isn't fun because it has too many restrictions.

You'll be happy to know that there are other alternatives to dieting. This article will tell you about those methods:

1. Starving yourself doesn't work: We all know how hungry diets make you feel, but there are other important disadvantages to dieting as well. Dieting sounds good on the surface, and in reality, if you go without food for several days, you will lose weight! But as soon as you start eating normally again, you will gain all of that weight back!

The human body will naturally combat starvation any way it can. When you go without food for long periods of time, your body will start to store fat deposits from whatever food you eat in order to survive. Your metabolism will also immediately begin to slow down, which causes obesity!

The rule is still the same: if you starve yourself, your body will think that it is dying. It will then take the only obvious step: it will slow down your metabolism in order to store fat for emergency calorie reserves! This is the reason why most dieters usually regain any weight they lose as soon as they get back to their normal eating habits!

Anyone who says that eating is the only cause of weight gain is wrong. Limiting food intake will only further complicate your situation, so you MUST eat in order to stay healthy! But you must also eat right; you can't load up on junk foods, and you can't over eat either.

2. Frequent eating is the key to fast weight loss: 'Eating' is not as straightforward as it sounds though; you should be eating frequently throughout the day! But don't eat more than you normally would, and don't eat when you're not hungry. You should separate your large meals into smaller meals and spread them out so that you're eating more than three meals a day.

If you are like most people, you will probably eat three large meals over the course of a day. Doing this slows down your metabolism and increases fat deposits! Instead, you should separate those three large meals into six or seven smaller meals and eat every two or three hours.

This has two advantages. First, when your body gets frequent nourishment, it keeps your metabolism high, which means that you will lose fat fast. Second, frequent eating helps to suppress hunger, that way you won't feel tempted to eat junk foods, no matter how delicious they are! So as you can see, portion control and timing is the key to success when it comes to weight loss! - 16083

Amazing Facts You Didn't Know About Men's Jewelry Designers

By Ernst Ralborg

Gone are the days when the passion for jewelry rested with women alone. Nowadays, men are becoming as enamored with jewelry and accessories as they are with cars and gizmos. Jewelry designers have well woken up to the fact and are now offering exclusive and extensive men's range of jewelry, ranging right from diamond-studded watches to bracelets, chains and pendants. In this section, we take a look on the latest developments in this trend along with the major newsmakers in this aspect.

The Beckham Story

Talking of men's jewelry, David Beckham created ripples when he displayed a dazzling collection of men's jewelry at his famous pre-World Cup party. England's Ashley Cole, who arrived wearing only jewelry and no shirt under his dinner jacket, assisted him in his efforts.

This was further followed by a charity auction wherein Beckham showcased his exquisite diamond encrusted watch, created by Jacob Arabo. In addition, Beckham was also perhaps the first man to publicly wear two diamond earrings, placing men's' jewelry fashion firmly on the front stage and marking the onset of an amazing trend.

The New Scenario

Jewelry is no longer the domain of women only. Men have largely come to accept and recognize jewelry a symbol of class and style. Urban men, who like to appear trendy, are also taking to the ornaments to add a hip look to their appearances. The exclusive men's' jewelry showrooms have mushroomed in the last few years, catering to the growing need of the contemporary generation.

This trend is further accentuated by the portrayal of men supporting flashy pieces of jewelry in cinema. From the mafia kings carrying extravagant neckpieces, to the young lover wearing a kinky bracelet gifted by his fianc, men across all channels are being quick enough to adopt the trend.

In addition, where earlier gold was almost the only choice, nowadays platinum, diamonds and even stones rule the rooster. The likes of exclusive platinum or combination of metals, diamond encrusted rings and earrings dominate the scene, though smaller trinkets also appear in the picture. The entire trend gives enough reason to the jewelry and fashion industry to invest substantive resources in the men's jewelry lines. By the look of it, in a few years time, it is quite possible that men's jewelry will be available to suit all types of budgets and tastes, not just remaining as the exclusive domain of the rich and famous. - 16083

Do I Have Adult Asthma Signs

By John Schaefer

When an adult first experiences the onset of asthma they are usually very surprised by it. When people see children with the symptoms it is a normal assumption that they have developed asthma but it is often overlooked in adults. When the symptoms strike lots of times adults will hit the panic button because they have never experienced the shortness of breath and the wheezing and coughing. Occasionally, they will even think that they are experiencing a heart attack.

In truth and in reality if you are experiencing the symptoms of asthma,ie: shortness of breath wheezing or a tightness in your chest: no matter what you think it might be, you should get checked out by a doctor as the symptoms could truly be a number of things other than asthma. Your doctor is the only one who can do the proper tests to know for sure what it is you are experiencing.

With this in mind though there are some really good indicators to tell you if your condition is asthmatic in nature. Take into consideration what brought it on. Were you exercising? Did it come on you after you ate something specific? If you go outside on a cold wintery day does it happen when you breathe in? These are some questions that you can ask yourself to give you a clue on whether or not you might have developed asthma.

There are many different treatments for asthma out there and, like most chronic conditions, it usually requires a combination of things. One of the most neglected asthma treatments is diet. Having a diet that avoids things that trigger adult asthma symptoms is important, but it is not enough. Eating a lot of greasy processed foods will often put you at a greater risk of asthma, so it is important to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, as well as grains of all sorts.

Of course, medicine is also an important tool in treating adult asthma symptoms. Most of the time, doctors will prescribe an asthma inhaler or two. When I used to have childhood asthma, my doctor prescribed a maintenance inhaler which would stop me from getting relapses, and an inhaler that I could use in case of a sudden onset of severe symptoms. This is a pretty typical approach, but there are a lot of different ways that you can go about treating adult asthma symptoms. There are even natural asthma treatments out there consisting of various different herbs that will counteract respiratory conditions. It all comes down to finding what works best for you. - 16083

Some Factors That Influence Cosmetic Surgery Price

By Bill Johnson

There is no fixed reconstructive surgery cost because each doctor has his or her own rates. But there are many factors that will aid in determining how much or how little you end up paying to have your reconstructive surgery done. Among the more important of the factors involved would be things such as the expertise and experience of the surgeon, the length as well as difficulty of the operation and likewise the type of facilities provided.

Type Of Clinic

The cost of plastic surgery will likewise vary according to the type of clinic because plastic surgeons that own modern and technologically advanced clinics will charge more than those whose installations are drab and out of date. Nevertheless, regardless of plastic surgery cost, you need to first of all verify that you are able to pay the costs included before going forward with the operation.

You should be mindful that you don't get tempted by cheap plastic surgery costs because these are oftentimes only proposed by those that are looking to take in customers. You need to, at the very outset, be able to determine that the terms set will cover you for the and anesthesia as well as post-operation exams and for whatever corrective procedures that might need to be performed.

Unfortunately, the cost of plastic surgery is ordinarily not handled by insurance with the sole exception being in the instance of an emergeny where it is taken to be medically necessary. Nevertheless, you can hunt around for financing as there are many plans available that allow patients to pay the total plastic surgery cost in payments.

To start with, when plastic surgery first became known to the world, it was, thanks to the high plastic surgery costs demanded, affordable merely to a select few. Nonetheless, with every new advancement in technology, plastic surgery has come to be more affordable and with the smaller expenses involved, well-nigh everyone nowadays can afford plastic surgery if they truly desire it.

By And Large, today, plastic surgery costs can range from between 1500 bucks to as high as eight thousand dollars. Breast augmentation and breast lift are the cheapest types of plastic surgery obtainable while lower body lift is probably the most expensive type.

Besides the cost of plastic surgery, you will likewise need to know how to pick out the foremost cosmetic surgery facility. Here again elements that will influence which center you select include the location, the terms they bill as well as the financing options available and of course, the facilities.

Todays day and age, different plastic surgery operations involve different plastic surgery costs. An example of this difference is seen when you look at having a facelift at a cost just below six thousand bucks compared to a reshaping of your nose which will cost you a shade less than 3900. No matter which procedure you select take all the elements into thought and be an informed shopper. Don't get suckered by special offers and such because it is your body you are dealing with and the consequences of your selection will be there all of your life-time. - 16083

What are the Most Popular Types of Designer Frames?

By Amy Nutt

Eyeglasses used to be a burden to people. They were not very stylish, they felt like they weighed a ton, and they were extremely large in size. Unfortunately, those individuals could do nothing about it because they needed the glasses to see. There were children trying to get out of wearing their glasses, but they would have to wear them while they did their studies. At the same time they were humiliated as the other kids called them "Four Eyes" and "Geek."

Times are definitely not like that. Billions of people have to have their vision corrected. Usually, they correct their vision with eyeglasses first and will move to contact lenses later. Fortunately, though, more and more people are finding satisfaction with their eyeglasses. This is great for those who may not be able to wear contact lenses. The advent of designer frames has made wearing eyeglasses a lot more bearable.

Popular types of designer frames

There are many types of popular designer frames. They come in all different shapes and sizes. They also come in many different colours. It just more or less depends on your eye colour, your hair colour, and the shape of your face. But no matter what your physical features are, you?re going to find a designer frame that will take care of you.

Each manufacturer has their own unique style and it is that unique style that reels people in. One person may like Tommy Hilfiger, while the other person may like Calvin Klein because of the style.

The different types of designer frames out there include: Coach, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Dolce Gabanna, Oakley, Gucci, Prada, Versace, Chanel, Dior, and many more. These are the individuals that are responsible for the rectangle designs that offer up a little bit of flair. For those needing a more round frame, perhaps a frame by Coach will get the job done. You can usually distinguish the different brands by looking at them if you're familiar with their styles.

The purchase

You have so many options when it comes to purchasing designer frames. You also have several buying options. You can always buy from your optometrist or a dispensary. Then again, you can purchase your desired designer frame on the Internet. This means you're going to have a lot more to choose from. You're not limited to the inventory of your optometrist or dispensary. Just make sure you are familiar with what frame shapes and colours look good on you. You definitely don't want to get something that is going to look terrible.

Then there is the fact that your prescription is going to determine what looks good on you. Those who require extremely thick lenses may not do well with a rimless or half-rim frame. So that is something else to keep in mind.

Most importantly, having so many buying options allows you to compare your prices. You can find the best frame and the best deal for you. You do, however, need to make sure you're able to have your prescription placed within the frame. It doesn't do any good to have a designer frame if you cannot use it to see out of. There is also the fact that you may find so many great deals that you decide to buy several different frames. Maybe one day you're in a certain mood and you choose your frame for that day. That's a good way to mix it up because, let's face it, designer glasses are now a fashion statement. They're not a burden anymore. Perhaps that is why more and more people are making the decision to wear their eyeglasses over their contact lenses. - 16083

Chemicals in Skincare That May Cause Skin Irritations

By Amy Nutt

As organic skin care grows in popularity, people are starting to realize just how unhealthy mainstream make up, lotions and basic heath items are. With this awareness has come a mounting alarm that these products are not FDA regulated and manufacturers can get away with using a lot of additives that pharmaceutical companies cannot. As a result, potentially life threatening chemicals are being placed in everyday items like baby oil, lotions and creams putting consumers at risk.

Many of these items can create adverse skin reactions and rashes that turn men and women off from the use of these otherwise beneficial items.

Below is a list of some of the things you should look out for when purchasing regular skin care products that may cause irritation or be potentially toxic.

Parabens

Parabens are a collective group of preservatives that have been used by the cosmetic and beauty aid industry to reduce bacterial growth in their products. Many Parabens start with the prefix of methyl, ethyl, butyl, or propyl and are extremely hazardous to health as well as irritating to the skin.

Below is a list of some of these parabens as well as other toxic chemicals that can be aggravating to the largest organ of the human body as well as contribute to a host of ailments.

- Color and Fragrance - both of these substances do not provide anything other than an aesthetic or scent related effect, however, both have properties in them that create skin sensitivity. They are also carcinogenic, meaning that they could cause caner.

- DMDM Hydantoin. Another preservative, this chemical has been attributed to the releases of formaldehyde. This harmful byproduct not only causes skin irritation, it creates allergies and joint pain as well as a long list of hormonal problems.

- Triclosan. This chemical has been categorized by the EPA as a chlorophenol, a high level carcinogen. Just a tiny bit can create major health problems and wreak havoc on the body. The continued use of Triclosan has been linked to hormonal imbalances in both men and women.

- Propylene Glycol (PG) - petroleum based preservative this substance has been cited among the many numerous skin irritants in cosmetic and beauty products. It is also so toxic that handlers have to wear safety gear just to touch it.

- Butylene Glycol - also a petroleum based chemical, both butylene and propylene glycol is dangerous and extremely deadly and some cases. Butylene has been linked to cancer and numerous other chronic disorders.

- Mineral Oil - yet another petroleum product, mineral oil clogs pores creating aggravating break outs and rashes in many users. It also interferes with the skin?s ability to renew and repair itself. This can create a host of problems outside of mere acne issues as the skin needs to function properly for other important organs to work efficiently.

On an even scarier note, most baby oil is made up of 100% Mineral Oil!

There are hundreds more chemicals that can adversely affect the skin or cause illness -- to find out what they are, you should do further, in depth research on the topic.

Other problems associated with mainstream skin care products

Continued use of over the counter, mainstream skin care products can contribute to hormonal imbalances, allergies, severe skin irritations leading to rashes and dermatitis, disorders like CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) headaches, depression, mood swings and hyperactivity.

The answer

Using organic skincare products can alleviate some of the risks commonly associated with the use of mainstream beauty products. Be careful in this regard as many manufacturers may claim something is all natural or organic yet have chemicals in them.

Read all skin care product labels and above all, strive to make sure that you replace harmful chemical based products in your home with truly organic purchases. Though a bit more time consumptive, you will be rewarded with a better health and more luxurious and thankful skin. - 16083

The Difference between Monthly Contacts and Continuous Wear

By Amy Nutt

Contact lenses are a great thing to have. That is because those who are able to wear them are not under the restrictions that glasses put upon them. However, in recent years the entire world has changed for the contact lens wearer and that is the fact that new types of contacts have come out. Amongst these new types of contacts are those that you can wear for an extended period of time. They are monthly wear and continuous wear.

Both monthly and continuous wear contacts are called extended wear contacts. This is because they are able to be worn longer than your traditional contact lens. Traditional lenses come in daily wear, weekly wear, and bi-weekly wear. This means they have to be disposed of daily, weekly, or every two weeks. What you wear is up to you and what your tolerance is.

What are extended wear?

With the development of extended wear contacts, people dont have to change their contact lenses daily, weekly, or every two weeks. They can wear them for approximately 30 days before they have to throw them away. It may seem that they are more expensive, but it all reality you do save money.

However, not everyone can wear extended wear contacts and, if they are able to, they may find that one kind of extended wear does better for them than another. For example, some may want a monthly contact lens and another may want a continuous contact lens. But whats the difference?

Monthly vs. continuous

The difference between monthly contacts and continues wear contacts is not really all that different. The only difference is that monthly contacts need to be taken out every night. This is more or less the same as your traditional contact lens. You take them out and let them soak overnight so that theyre clean the next morning.

Continuous wear contacts allow you to wear your contact lenses for 30 days straight without having to take them out. This means that you can sleep in them without having to worry about anything. After the 30 days is over, you simply throw them away. There is no having to clean and soak them every night like with monthly contact lenses.

However, there are some individuals unable to wear continuous wear. Some people have eyes that are more sensitive than others. Some individuals may also have issues with calcium buildup on the contact lens. This can cause issues such as Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis. This is when bacteria become trapped and an infection occurs. Those susceptible to this may not be able to wear continuous wear. They will be better off with the monthly contact that requires them to take the lenses out every night.

Which is best?

Which is best for you depends on what your eyes want. There are risks associated with all contact lenses including theatrical lenses. Infection is the main issue, so most people decide to try out the different types of contacts before committing. This is why your optometrist may find giving you trials before actually ordering is a good idea. That gives you the opportunity to figure out what is comfortable for you.

Besides, your eyes are very important. Without them, functioning would be very difficult. Thats why it is very important for you to be able to find the contact lens that is right for you. Talk to your eye doctor about monthly contacts and continuous wear contacts. Let them tell you what risks exist for you and what your options may be for your particular situation. You might be quite pleased with the results that you receive. - 16083

Selecting A Wrinkle Cream That Works

By Jen Hopkins

In general, all people want to look attractive. But unfortunately, when you age, you get wrinkles that affect your appearance largely. Therefore many people especially women have been using wrinkle creams for many centuries to remove the wrinkles. Nowadays, there are thousands of creams available in the market. How to identify a quality wrinkle cream out of them?

A good quality cream has high quality ingredients in it. Moreover, these quality ingredients are mixed in a definite proportion. If the ingredients are not mixed in correct proportion then the user may get side effects. Some users may get rashes. What are the factors that cause wrinkles on your skin? A good quality cream will never cause any side effects at all.

Many wrinkles are caused by too much exposure to the sun. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are known to cause wrinkles. You may also get wrinkles because the amount of elastin and collagen in your skin gets lower as you age. Sudden weight gain can also cause wrinkles to appear. The combination of these factors results in a growing number of wrinkles over time.

A good quality cream increases the quantity of Elastin and Collagen present in the proteins. Therefore, it can successfully remove wrinkles from your skin. Moreover, you will not get any side effects if you use a good quality cream. A quality cream has a quality base in it that carries the quality ingredients.

It is also important that the wrinkle cream you choose contains Vitamin E. A deficiency in Vitamin E is one of the things that can lead to the development of wrinkles in the skin, so it makes sense to be sure that your skin receives an adequate amount of this vitamin. Receiving enough Vitamin E can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the skin.

Good wrinkle creams are usually not cheap. You may need to be willing to spend a bit of money to find a product that actually works. High quality wrinkle creams are usually not inexpensive. The cost of the ingredients used in making the product results in a higher cost for consumers.

Another ingredient that will make your skin smoother and softer is Vitamin A. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that will help improve the appearance of your skin and reduce wrinkles. You can find a high quality wrinkle cream by searching out reviews on the internet. Many websites allow customers to post product reviews, and you can learn what works and what doesnat by reading what the people who have actually used the product have to say.

Briefly, I would say a good quality wrinkle cream is one that contains quality ingredients mixed in correct proportion. A good cream will never cause any side effects. It will definitely remove wrinkles very effectively. I therefore suggest you to a bit of research to identify the best quality cream in the market to get the best results. - 16083

Ten Simple Steps To Increase Your Testosterone Production

By Ricardo d Argence

Testosterone is thought to be the only substance referred to as the "holy grail" of muscle growth. Testosterone, a vitally important muscle-building hormone, is a determining factor when you are trying to build muscle in your body. This is just a sampling of the numerous incredible advantages to elevated levels of testosterone: Increased muscle size and strength, decreased body fat levels, decreased levels of "bad" cholesterol, improved mood and increased sex drive and sexual endurance.

It sounds pretty good because it is great, and in this article I'm going to outline 10 simple steps to naturally increase your testosterone levels and achieve all of these incredible benefits. While these steps will not result in "steroid-like" muscle gains, they will definitely contribute to your overall bottomline results.

1) Your workout exercises should have compound exercises as a foundation. I'm talking about the basic, bread-and-butter lifts such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, rows, chin-ups, dips, lunges and military presses. At the gym, you can maximize your workout with these exercises because they provide the greatest muscle resistance and make your body produce more testosterone.

2) Always train with 100% effort and intensity. If you want to see real muscle gains, you must be willing to push yourself to the limit in the gym. Again, greater muscular stress in the gym translates to higher testosterone output.

3) Exercise your leg muscles just as hard as your exercise your upper body. You may already know that growth in the chest, back, and arms will be stimulated by intense training of the legs. The increased testosterone produced through leg training exercises is one of the reasons for this.

4) Increase your EFA consumption. Sources such as peanuts and avocadoes, will be the source of Essentail Fatty Acids. One interesting way of naturally boosting testosterone levels is through the regular use of olive and canola oils in one's diet.

5) Eat less soy. Testosterone levels are negatively affected by elevated levels of estrogen, which can be caused by soy protein intake.

6) Limit your consumption of alcohol. Alcohol has been shown to have quite a dramatic effect on testosterone levels, so try to limit your "binge drinking" nights and keep your alcohol consumption in moderation.

7) Up your dietary consumption of cruciferous vegetables. Broccoli, cauliflower, radishes, turnips, cabbage and brussel sprouts have all been shown to dramatically reduce estrogen levels, thereby raising testosterone.

8) Reduce your everyday stresses. When you have too much stress, your body releases the catabolic hormone "cortisol" and this makes your testosterone levels drop dramatically.

9) Have more sex. Becoming sexually aroused increases oxytocin in the sytem which increases the production of endorphins and raises levels of testosterone.

10) Make sure to get adequate sleep every night. A lack of sleep contributes to cortisol production, and this will lower your testosterone levels.

To boost your muscle size and gain strength, implement these techniques regularly for a noticeable difference. - 16083

Why Some Muscle Building Programs Aren't Working for You

By Caleb Lee

Muscle building programs are mostly created by weight lifters who have discovered "their way" to building big muscles.

Why don't these muscle building programs work for everyone?

Here are 4 reasons why the programs may not have worked.

#1: Your Program Isn't Working Every Muscle

Have you ever trained on weight lifting machine? They only work one muscle. These machines are a major reason why the programs do not work. They don't give the ability to develop many muscles together, which would be the best way to train. Free weights let you do compound exercises, letting you build many muscles at once. You will be able to perform squats and dead lifts which will be very beneficial to many muscles. Using free weights allows you to develop stability and also strengthen your joints. They are all around better for you.

#2: Keep it short

A program developed by the usual gym rat you would see at the gym working out every time you went there would not be a good fit for someone only having an hour to workout. Your workout does not need to be long and strenuous; rather it should be short and sweet. Using fewer reps and sets with a larger amount of weight can give you the best benefits in a short amount of time.

#3: Where is the Resistance?

A good muscle building program should have a high amount of weight, while using less reps and sets. Programs using 50% of your one rep max are a waste of time. Your target should be to life around 80-85% of your 1 rep max. If you use less weight, you will see slight improvement until the improvements will stop. Its like your body will have become immune to lifting such a small amount of weight.

#4: Get Enough Rest

Your workout should give you a short time between exercises to refresh and cool yourself down. It should not be going rapidly from one exercise to the next, and it also should not be too long, more than 5 minutes.

When you are done at the gym, you should try to plan a nap in to let your body rest. At night, try to sleep as long as you can, obtaining 8 hours or more of sleep. Having this large amount of sleep will better your body for the next day. Make sure to relax during the day to prevent stress from disrupting your muscle growth.

Cellulite Massage 101

By Deborah G Hutton

Due to the shape of a woman's body their hips, stomachs and thighs are often susceptible to fat deposits. Some of these deposits exist just below the skin and it is this that causes the dimpling of the skin called cellulite. Because of its unsightly appearance many women are horrified about the condition and particularly would do anything to get rid of cellulite.

There are hundreds of treatments available that claim to reduce cellulite. One such treatment is massage. This treatment is thought to help to reduce cellulite by smoothing out the fat and increasing blood circulation to the problem areas.

You can have cellulite massage done in a beauty spa or you can do it yourself at home. There are machines available that can help either the beauty therapist or yourself at home to accomplish the task. Self-massage in the home environment is the cheapest method and can provide effective treatment for cellulite reduction. You can also use the massage combined with other treatments including laser, radio waves, creams or body wraps.

The first step to cellulite self-massage is to look at what massage oil you will use. You can purchase massage oils that are believed to help the fat loss under the skin. Your local supply of natural oils will be able to tell you more.

If you have cellulite on your hips or abdomen / stomach you should use two hands. You want a kneading-type motion where you lift up the skin and cellulite with one hand and then drop it into the other. Make sure you are gentle.

One you have finished the kneading process it is time now to start doing circular-type motions across the problem areas. Try to do clockwise motions because this is the way your digestive system naturally moves. If you are pregnant or planning on being it is recommended that you don't massage your abdomen as there is risk you may hurt the baby.

If you have cellulite on your thighs as most women do, start at the knee and use a long stroking motion upwards. Also use the same stroke with the area behind the knees and back thighs.

Once you have finished the long stroke switch to kneading the cellulite and skin using two hands as described above.

To increase the cellulite removal process you can combine the self-massage with other cellulite treatments. If you are on a tight budget some simple steps can make a large difference. This includes increasing the amount of water you use each day, losing weight by eating correctly and exercising, or using a loofah sponge in the shower to rub the problem areas.

Using a cellulite massage machine can increase the effectiveness of the treatment. There are home units available that mean you can self-massage in the privacy of your own home. Many beauty spa also have commercial machines that they use on their private clients. - 16083

All About The Shingles Disease

By Rashel Dan

An estimate of about a million people in America suffer from shingles disease every year. If you haven't heard of the disease, its time you get yourself informed. You or a loved one could be at risk of suffering from shingles disease.

What causes shingles?

The disease is most often associated with the chicken pox. This is because the virus varicella zoster which causes chicken pox is also the cause of shingles disease. In addition, a person can only suffer from shingles if he has had chicken pox in the past. This is because the chicken pox virus lies dormant after patient recuperation and can recur at some point in the person's life as shingles.

Is it the same as herpes?

Another name for shingles is herpes zoster. Some other skin diseases may also carry the name herpes. Shingles disease however and some other skin diseases carrying the name herpes is not the same as genital herpes which is a sexually transmitted disease.

Who is at risk of having shingles?

Anyone who has had chicken pox may get shingles. Most of the time though children and young adults who still have strong immune systems may still be able to avoid the illness. Those who are at high risk of developing shingles disease are those with weakened immune systems. These include the elderly and those who are extremely stressed out or fatigued. Of course, people who are severely sick with cancer, AIDS, leukemia and other illnesses also have a higher risk of developing shingles disease.

What are the symptoms of shingles?

Another term used for the disease is St. Anthony's Fire because of the enduring pain that seems to come from the nerves to the muscles and tissues. Aside from the pain, one will also develop reddish blisters. Fever, chills, fatigue, headache and stomach pains also accompany shingles. Of course, the rashes or blisters may also feel a little itchy.

Are there any complications that follow shingles?

Sometimes, people who have had shingles may experience it a second time. In some cases, even if shingles does not recur, an individual may experience post herpetic neuralgia. This is an enduring and chronic pain usually among the elderly that may go on long after the shingles disease has been treated. In rare instances, shingles can cause some paralysis, encephalitis, pneumonia, blindness, ear problems and even death.

Can shingles spread?

A person with fresh or active blisters can pass the virus to people who have never had chicken pox and have not been vaccinated. It cannot however, be transmitted through casual, indirect contact. Once the blisters develop a crust, the virus can no longer be spread.

How do you avoid shingles?

Get a chicken pox vaccination. If you've already had chicken pox before, then you can delay the incidence of shingles disease by keeping your immune system strong and healthy. People with shingles should keep blisters covered to avoid transmitting the virus to others. - 16083

What You Need to Know Before Getting a Tribal Tattoo Desig

By Reese Lanter

Tribal tattoos are believed to be one of the most sought after designs. Just looking at search engine figures will tell you that thousands of people show some interest in it. There is however, more to getting a tribal tattoo design than just picking a generic set of unidentifiable curves and lines. If you are interested in getting a tribal tattoo, you should take note of a couple of things.

Tribal Tattoos

Before you get a tribal tattoo, ask yourself first what a tribal tattoo design really is. The term "tribal" is already a clue to the nature of this particular tattoo category. A tribal tattoo design is most often an original figure or a modified one that draws its roots from real tribes today or of long ago. Since tribes that perform tattooing were or have been around for centuries in different continents, this particular category can have a very broad scope. A tribal tattoo design can therefore trace its origins among tribes belonging to the Maori, American Indian, Samoan, Incan, Aztec and Hawaiian traditions. Of course, these are not the only tribes in the world. There are countless more with their own unique tribal tattoos.

A tribal tattoo design is usually used to identify people within the same tribal group or clan. Within a specific tribe, there can also be variations to a tattoo design. Differences in designs and placement of tattoos in a tribe can tell such things as social status, role in the tribe, skill and family affiliation.

Why People Get Them

Today, anyone can get a tribal tattoo design but different people have different reasons for doing so.

- One common reason would still be to mark oneself as a member of an ancient or old tribe. Some young American Indians for example would want to get a traditional tattoo associated with their tribe to identify them as modern but true members of that tribe. A tribal tattoo design is therefore a link to an individual's historical and cultural identity.

- Other people get tribal designs to express their individuality and their sense of style and fashion. For some, tribal tattoos communicate who they feel they truly are.

- Tribal designs are also known to be simply exquisite and beautiful. A tribal tattoo design has strong bold lines and curves that makes it eye catching. You can pick designs that are intricate or simple.

Design Categories

Here are the three major categories of tribal tattoos:

- Authentic - These are original tribal designs coming from actual tribes. Some designs are difficult to find especially if the tribe of origin no longer exists. If you want one you may have to perform some extensive research first.

- Derivations - Many tribal designs are really just adaptations of original ones. An artist may have been inspired by an ancient pattern and created his own unique tribal tattoo design.

- Custom Tattoos - These days anyone can make a tribal tattoo design that is based on original patterns and figures. Online sites now offer templates from which you can easily make your own unique tattoo. - 16083

If you are ready to commit to some effort and work, you can lose weight, get healthy and re-shape and re-sculpt your body.

The three primary body types consist of the endomorph, which stores fat, the ectomorph, which doesn't store fat and remains lean and thin, and the mesomorph which builds muscle and loses fat easily. Life can be a little more complex for the endomorph. They gain weight quickly, and it is usually stored as fat, and the fat is very slow to disappear.

If you have an endomorph body, you will gain weight on a regular, healthy diet. That can be discouraging for the most of this kind of people. However, you can lose weight by counting calories and engaging in an exercise program even when it seems you are doomed by genetics.This is a more reasonable and suitable solution to the problem. Instead of having to wait several weeks or months,many people however tend to want something that promises quicker results.

Tendencies to gain excess weight may also be due to some chemical imbalances that can occur in the brain. Some people seem to get a signal to eat more, even when they have had plenty to eat.

Today research is being done that may soon lead to a new appetite suppressant being put on the market. This medication is said to block the impulse to overeat by regulating a hormone in the hypothalamus. Studies are proving successful in the laboratory, and it may not be long yet another new weight control drug is on the market for overweight consumers to try.

A lot, and I really mean a lot, of people buy that drugs. Not only the ones that want to burn that fat, but also thin people who doesn't want to gain that weight. That means billions of dollars. With this kind of money at stake, there is little wonder why new weight loss drugs keep popping up, both with and without harmful side effects. Many people would rather use manmade chemicals than try to solve the problem through dedication, willpower and hard work.

You can lose those pounds and create a new body with weight training, cardio workouts, and a healthy diet, instead of hoping for a new quick fix for your extra weight. The loss of weight will be gradual, and this will give you time to firm those arms, abs and glutes. Heredity will not lock you into a body shape if you are willing to follow a course to change it. It is not impossible to lose of extra fat, but not without some effort on your part.

The sad fact is that quick weight loss plans, pills, and drugs do not successfully help people lose weight permanently. For anyone who needs to shed some fat and get in shape the best method is to stop feeding your body the unhealthy carbs and sugars that make you gain weight, and to begin a regular exercise program. - 16083

Free Muscle Building Workouts, Shoulders

By Ricardo d Argence

One important part of bodybuilding is the development of the shoulders. You will look great just standing there, and you will look even better when you strike a double-back bicep pose. If you develop your side deltoids in proportion to the biceps, the arms and biceps look large and well defined.

The shoulder area consists of the muscles of the posterior, medial and anterior deltoid. The rotator cuff muscles and the upper trapezius are included in the whole shoulder girdle.

To the back, side, or front of the humerus, the deep rotator cuff muscles connect several parts of the thoracic region. Upper trapezius muscles are the muscles that run from the back of the neck; extend to the medial deltoid, then downward to intersect with the middle trapezius. Going further back on the shoulder, below the lower portion of the upper trapezius, is the posterior deltoid muscle. The outer section of the shoulder is the location of the medial deltoid, while the anterior deltoid muscle is apparent on the exterior of the pectoral muscles.

Either of your shoulders has an individual function when the arm is lifted. The arm is brought forwards, inwards, or rotated by the anterior deltoid. The medial deltoid allows the arm to move away from the side. When the arm is moved back or rotated outwards, the posterior deltoid comes into play. When the scapula is moved upward toward the ears, like shrugging your shoulders, the upper trapezius muscle does the job. Finally, the rotator cuff muscles provide stability to the arm when it is moving and allows the arm to rotate.

To build up the shoulder muscles, exercises such as the military press, Arnold press, lateral raises (bent-over, lying, or standard), and neck/behind-the neck presses, should be performed. Rowing in an upright position as well as while bent over will facilitate building the shoulder area to dramatic size.

The key to building massive shoulders is to understand how the shoulder works and keeping it healthy. Nothing will halt your progress faster than an injury in the gym, so clearly injury should be avoided. One of the most common injuries is to the rotator cuff muscles. The muscles that make up the rotator cuff are not large strong muscles. In order to prevent any injuries try incorporating some band work into your shoulder workout.

Make sure that you use the proper amount of weight and this will reduce your chances of injury. You should be able to have control of the weight through the entire movement. If you discover that you are just able to perform partial reps or you have to redistribute the weight, then it's too massive of a weight. Using too much weight puts too much stress on the shoulder and is likely to cause injury. Before increasing the weight, be sure that you can maintain the proper technique and use the full range of motion.

While developing the muscles in the shoulder does require some work, bodybuilders agree that the payoff is worth the effort. Everybody's body will develop at a different rate, so experimentation and determination is important. - 16083
