Tips to Looking Young in your 40s

With an accumulated wealth of life's experience and knowledge, life really
begins at 40 but we can't say that for the skin, the skin is the first 
organ of the body that reveals the first sign of aging at 40 due to 
a decrease and breakdown of hormones and enzymes responsible 
for maintaining younger looking skin, with four decades of existence 
to boast of the skin has probably gone through damages from 
external factors like exposure to sun UV rays, use of harsh skin 
products and unhealthy life-styles.

Its not too late to remedy the situation,by embracing the wrinkles, greying hair
and the tell-tale bits and piece that comes with growing old and also incorporating
anti-ageing regimen into skin-care, diet, life-style will serve you a good looking
skin all through your 40s.

Invest in anti-ageing skin care products like Retinoid, retinoid is a 
vitamin-A derivative in cream and gel form. Its a medication usually recommended
by dermatologist for acne treatment but its especially effective for wrinkle control,
hyperpigmented and sun-damaged skin through activation of rapid skin cell
turnover giving your face lesser wrinkle and fine lines appearance, clear,spotless
and fresher looking skin in just 2 weeks of use. Retinoid comes in brand names
as Retin-A, Tretinion. its a prescription drugs but can be bought from pharmacy
while strictly following the instruction leaflet inside.
i.Foetus are affected by vitamin A so a pregnant or lactating mother
is advised not to use.
ii.The use of retinoid also increases the skin sensitivity to the sun so a good
sunscreen is required to use alongside with it.
iii.You would experience flaking and peeling of the skin in the first
few weeks of usage, if it becomes too unpleasant to deal with reduce
application to 3 times a week until skin adjust to it you can now resume to
nightly application (apply only at night time because of sun during the day),
iv.use a moisturizer to combat dryness and flaking skin while using Retinoid.
Your skin will experience an amazing result in few weeks of use.

Moisturizer should be a woman's BFF and especially indispensable
in your 40s because at this age, there is less natural oil production
from the body due to the reduction of the estrogen hormone, making
the skin look dry and dehydrated which in turn promote the formation of
early wrinkles.
Moisturizers serve as a make-up and replacement for the lack of
natural body oil. You mustn't spend a fortune on a good moisturizers,
natural and affordable oil like extra virgin olive oil is an effective
skin moisturizer, anti-oxidant rich in omega 3, vitamin A and E perfect for
youthful skin.
Apply on skin while its still wet for easy absorption or mix it with
lotion/cream.

Omega 3 is an essential fatty acid that promotes and maintain youthful
skin.Omega 3 are good fats required by the body and can be obtained
from dietary sources like Salmon, sardines, extra virgin olive oil, avocado,
walnut, pumpkin seeds and in the absence of omega 3 diet you get it from
supplement in capsule form like cod-liver oil etc.
Omega 3 helps to combat dryness by keeping the skin hydrated and moisturized
in turn preventing wrinkles and fine lines formation.

After cheating on sun-screen these past years, its time to face the
reality of the importance of sun-screen and invest on a good sun-screen.
Aside hyperpimentation,sun burn,dark knuckles, red eyes,broken blood
vessels, exposing the skin to the harsh sun in this region can wreck a lot of
damage on the skin. Skin exposed to sun tends to develop wrinkles,fine lines
and age spots earlier than a sun protected skin as the sun breaks down
collagen and elastin-(these are enzymes that takes care of skin firming,
maintains skin elasticity, and keeps the skin plump.)
The good news is that its not to late, you can avoid further damage,
buy a good sun screen of up too  SPF 50 because of our hot naija sun.
Wear protective outfit if you will be staying long in the sun like
wide-brimmed hat, wear long sleeved and don't feel shy to carry
an umbrella after all your skin is more important than people's curious
stare.(In naija if you're not carrying a baby, people don't see the reason
why you should use an umbrella except its raining)

The key word for youthful skin at 40 is hydration and moisture, if
you don't want early wrinkles then you should by all means fight against
dehydration and moisture loss by getting enough good liquid from water,
smoothies,fresh fruit juice, green tea and other healthy liquid.
A good dose of water early in the morning before breakfast cleanses
the body system of radicals and oxidants giving you a clear skin and
healthy body.

When you are 40, your diet should be healthy because not only
your skin, your health is equally important, junk food, saturated fat
found in margarine, vegetable oils, heavy cream salad dressing,
high GI(glycemic index) carbs like white rice, pasta, white flour,
increase blood glucose level triggering insulin to action that result
into skin inflammation. Complex carbs like brown rice, acha, plantain
flour, wheat bread, honey, unsaturated fat contain in food rich in
omega 3 and 6 like nuts, avocadoes, pumpkin seed are great in
preventing wrinkles..

Take supplements that boost estrogen production e.g estroCare-25
The presence of estrogen in the body increases the production of natural
body oil, collagen and elastin enzymes this keeps the skin looking young as
a Sweet Sixteen even in your 40s.



Exercise and an active life-style are important principles to looking
youthful in at any age bracket. Exercise burns out the excess calories, helps
you maintain a healthy weight, cleanses your skin of toxins and waste through
sweating and elevates your mood which means a healthy body, beautiful
skin and a happy disposition in your 40s.

Get enough of your beauty sleep, minimum of 7 hours is recommended every
night. The skin cells are rejuvenated and renewed during sleep, dark circles
and eye bags will become an old story when you get enough rest.
Manage stress and if possible avoid stressful situations, stress has been link
to trigger acne.

Goat milk contains lactic acid an alpha hydroxy acid(AHA) and other
essential vitamins like A, E and C. Alpha hydroxy acid removes dead skin
cells on the skin giving your skin a fresher, smoother, younger look and an easily
absorbable skin surface for other skin care products to penetrate. Goat milk
also rejuvenate the skin and increases new cell growth which is exactly what
your skin needs at Forty.
Using goat milk on the face can also diminish the appearance of fine lines,
wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and spots on the skin because its rich in vitamin
A, it also repairs damaged skin tissue. Fresh goat milk is unrefined
and works faster but in the absence of fresh goat milk, you might want to
try out skin care products made with goat milk like soap  or bath wash

20 New Year Resolutions Every Girl Need For 2016

 We are about wishing farewell to 2015 and eagerly waiting in anticipation to

welcome the New year.

It's a tradition to welcome the new year with  resolutions to do away with old

unwholesome habit and incorporating good lifestyles all in a bid to improve on

our person to become better version of who we were in the previous year.

As 2016 begins, you would do well to incorporate this 20 beauty resolutions

 into your beauty regime this coming year as effort towards improving on your

 look and becoming more beautiful and attractive in 2016.

1. Never go to bed at

night without washing

and cleansing the face of

make-up, to avoid

 clogged pores that will result in

acne and other unwanted skin conditions.You don't want to wake up in the

morning to a concealer and foundation stained pillow cover. It's every

woman's dream to look young and youthful for as long as they live,

sleeping with make-up overnight speeds up the skin aging process

resulting into premature wrinkling.

2.Never shave off the eye brow completely only to make-up for

 the lack of eyebrow by drawing eye pencil,this create a sharp look and

 not so natural eyebrow effect. Spot a natural looking eyebrow by getting

your eyebrow shapen by a pro to suit the shape of your face and if hair

on eye brow is sparse fill up with eye-brow filler or eye pencil.

3.Don't catch yourself stylishly tapping your head to stop the embarrasing

itchy scalp or wait till hair begin to generate that offensive sweaty smell.

Change your hair style regularly and if money is an issue go for wash

and wear (hair styles that allows you to wash while wearing extensions).

Alternatively go for less expensive weave-on so you are not tempted to

leave it on for too long in an attempt to get the complete value of money

spent in purchasing expensive brazillian and human hair.

4.Avoid multi-color bleaching, use cream and products that will give you a

uniform skin tone, your skin has no duplicate so invest on good and skin

friendly cosmetic product. "whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well".

The dark patches on elbow, knuckles, and knee can be lighten naturally see

here get out that embarrassing dark knuckles using this amazing trick

5.Use concealer, foundation and powder that matches your skin tone.

Try out make-up on bare face or wrist to see what matches your skin

tone before buying. Most brand make-up shop allow skin-compatibility

testing like Zaron, Vivo and Tara .

6.Never under-estimate the power of a well shapen eyebrow, it can

tranform your face at a finger snap giving you a boost instantly. Bushy

overgrown eyebrow give a  not so feminine look. So make sure to 

wax it, tweeze it, shave it, whatever rocks your boat. Just be sure

 it is well contoured and beautifully shaped to go with your facial structure.

7.Don't cheat on weekly manicure and pedicure, you don't have to visit

the salon to get soft, smooth hands and feet. Indulge and pamper your

feet weekly with easy home pedicure. your hands and feet says a lot

about your level of attention to body grooming.

8.Embrace your flaws there is no Perfect woman on planet Earth.

Even our darling Miss World has her own share of imperfection.

Flaws makes everyone of us unique and distinct in our different ways.

Wear clothes that accentuates those wonderful parts of you and feel

confident in your skin. You are you, stop trying to be a photocopy of

someone.

9.Use sunscreen protection, protect your skin from the harsh weather of the sun.

 In fact am making this my No 1 New year resolution in 2016, because it seems

 like the gate of hell has been open. use sunscreen of up to spf50...(Think this is

too much? Not at all) sun exposure damages the skin,it results to premature aging,

sun burn, skin melanon( a condition that wrinkles the skin) and skin

discoloration with dark patches on fingers and toes.


10.Lip liner should make your lipstick last longer not to form a ring around

your lip when lipstick wear off.To get a pout that will last all day long- fill up the

entire lip accentuating the cupid bow on the upper lip with a lip liner before

applying lip stick otherwise avoid using lip liner.

11.Clean up and organize make-up bag, take out the old and expired

make-up. Some make-up don't bear expiry date but after one year,

you should discard them and stock up on new make-up. Particularly

eye-shadow and mascara that tend to last for long.

12.Clean and disinfect  make-up brushes regularly and allow to dry,

germs thrives on dirty and wet make-up brushes which could be

transfered to your face and you know the rest of the story.......acne breakout.

13.Stand out in the crowd, don't be an FFF(fashion fad follower), be

innovative and creative with styles, make your personal fashion

statement with your hair, make-up, clothes but don't over do it.

14.Natural and Dreadlock hair:thou shall not go to bed without covering hair

with a silk or satin scarf This will do your hair a whole world of good-meaning

your hair will not tangle, less combing and detangling, improved hair growth,

it also helps to prevent moisture loss to the pillow case while tossing in faraway

dreamland keeping your hair sleek and shiny.

15.Use base coat on nail before applying  polish to make nail polish chip-free

and long lasting.

16.Feel free to experiment and play with colors on hair, make-up and

clothing and discover colors that compliments your skin tone.

17.Don't be penny wise, pound foolish when buying make-up, cosmetics

and beauty product.Make sure to window-shop, research and get info so

as to get good quality products that will deliver the best value to you.

you don't want a cabinet  filled with  half-used beauty product that have

been abandoned due to inefficiency.Get value for your money and don't

be fooled by greedy sales attendant into buying the wrong products,

their interest is making money off you.

18.Be physically fit, cut down on calories if you are overweight and

incorporate simple on-the-go exercise routine if your work is sedentary.

Walk home from bus-stop instead of taking a bike, burn out some calories

using the stair-case instead of lift and find excuse to take trips to water

dispenser to stretch your joint and keep your body system hydrated

at the same time

19.Drink water, drink water and drink water again, get at least 9

glasses of water every day. It's highly recommended  for good health

and skin stays hydrated making it look firm and supple. Endeavor to

always have a bottle refill of water in your handbag when on the go

and by your desk at work.Your skin will always reward you with a glow.

20.Cultivate the right hair care regime for your hair texture natural(coily),

relaxed or dreadlock.Hair is a very important physical feature of a woman

and considered as the beauty of a woman. Sometimes we tend to pay more

attention to weaves and brazillian hair to the neglect and care of our natural hair.

In 2016 make ample effort to go beyond the routine washing and setting in the

salon.

Conditioning, oil treatment, protein treatment, steaming are all important hair

regime required by your hair and can be done at home.

Finally on a last note, don't go overboard, great beauty lies in simplicity and decency.

Have a beautiful and fashionable 2016

5 Secrets To A Beautiful Skin

 With minimal or no effort at all some people are naturally endowed with flawlessly

clear and soft skin while some folks need the right beauty products and knowledge

to achieve a glowing skin.

Its easy as A B C to achieve a beautiful skin just by incorporating these simple habits

to your lifestyle.

GOOD SKIN CARE REGIME:
 The first step to getting gorgeous skin is having the right and quality products to work

with.Cosmetic experience has taught me a lesson about using the right products best

suited for your skin type which your skin can relate to. A product specifically meant for

dry skin will not get a desirable effect on an oily skin and vice versa.

As a woman crosses over from  the youthful age of 20s into to the Big 30s the needs

of the skin changes as well, the skin tends to get drier because at this stage the feminine

body system has reached the peak of maturity and produces less collagen and hormones

that helps to firm up and keep the skin supple.Products that once worked for you in

your 20s might not achieve the same result in your 30s and you begin to wonder if the

manufacturing quality of the product has been compromised.

A complete skin care requires cleanser,toner,moisturizer,exfoliation and sunscreen

protection.

Cleansing: cleansing the skin thoroughly from impurities, accumulated dirt and makeup

 involving bathing and facial cleansing is a starting point to getting beautiful skin.

#Fact1-Achoholic and astringents cleansers and facial wipes that tends to dry up the

skin's natural oil should not be used.

#Fact2- Avoid bathing with very hot water it drains off the oil on the skin giving it a

wrinkled appearance.

#Fact3-Your skin loves cool water(not cold) it seals up moistures into the skin and

close up pores.

#Fact4-Pour drops of virgin olive oil or coconut oil to foaming sponge while

bathing this is an attempt at restoring moisture loss.

#Fact5-Use soaps and bath wash with more of natural ingredients(local black soap

or moisturizing body wash like Aveeno active naturals)cleanses the skin leaving it

soft and smooth.

Local Black soap

Body Wash

Toner:natural  toners containing  rose water, apple cider vinegar,  glycerine are great

for the skin and should be used immediately after the cleansing step. It helps in

balancing the pH level of the skin, building the right foundation for other facial

products application. Make your home made toner with 1/3 part apple cider vinegar,

1/2 part water and 1/3 rose water.Apply toner to cotton wool and dab all over face,

don't scrub.

Moisturizer: Moisturizer is best absorbed when the skin is wet and moist. Oil-based

moisturizer is good for the face to combat dryness and keep face looking young and

healthy like Johnson tissue moisturizing oil makes the skin soft and supple also contain

sunscreen of spf15, gently massage into skin until oil is absorbed.

You can also add a bit of this amazing oil into body lotion it act as a moisturizer, skin

toner and sun UVA and UVB protection.

Moisturizing body lotion

Exfoliation: A weekly facial

Facial and Body Scrub

and complete body scrub

is essential to exfoliate dry dead

skin cells that dulls the skin,

unclog pores, removes

blackheads and impurities

giving the skin a brighter

complexion.Eden range

of body scrubs is great for

exfoliation and if you would

 love to brighten complexion a

shade or two lighter then Eden

Extra Whitening Apricot Face

and Body Scrub is for you.

Sunscreen Protection: Ever wonder why after using the

right products and following up on good skin care regime,

you are still left with a skin below expectation, the culprit

here is skin exposure to harsh UV rays.

Exposing skin to sunlight could warrant a number of

undesirable condition of the skin from sunburn, skin
cancer, skin melanoma ,

dryness,wrinkling and premature skin aging among others.

My recent favorite is Johnson tissue oil-its triple-purpose

serves as a moisturizer, sunscreen protection of up to spf15

and massage oil.


GOOD FOOD:Your diet reflects on your skin outlook,

Junk and fast food like pastries, indomie,carbonated drinks and saturated fatty diets

are a no-no to having beautiful skin.

What your skin need are foods rich in protein, veggies, fruits, fiber, less of refined

carbs(white rice,pasta,sugar,refined flour used in baking white bread) and good fat

contained in walnut,avocado,and mackerel fish are very wealthy when it comes to

omega 3 and 6 this gives a natural shiny look to the skin

HYDRATE: its medically proven that the body system  needs at least 9 drinking

 glasses of water to function effectively, the skin also needs water to look beautiful,

 inadequate water intake can create a number of conditions that would reflect on

your skin causing dry skin, and wrinkling of the skin,eye bags, skin losing its

luminosity and firmness. Carbonated drinks e.g coca cola,pepsi etc contains loads

of sugar artificial additives and should not replace water. Don't wait until you are

thirsty to drink water, your  body is already experiencing dehydration before it

send thirsty signal to your brain.

Have a bottle of water in your bag when on the go and beside you on your

desk at work.To spice it up add some squeeze of lemon and drops of honey,

this would indulge your taste bud and cleanse your internal system as well.

Your SKIN will thank you for it.

SWEAT OUT THE GLOW:the good old exercise goes beyond burning

calories building muscle and shaping the body. it helps to cleanses the pores

of the skin ridding it from radicals through sweating, it also fuels the blood with

enough oxygen to distribute around the body giving the skin a glow.

During exercise, the brain releases  feel good chemical this is why after

an exercise session, the muscle feel sore and exhausted while the mind feel

relaxed and your mood is elevated. Exercise is a stress-buster, stress can make

you less inclined to follow-up on good skin care regime. Research has shown

that stress is a  major acne-triggers. Simple fun exercise like skipping ropes,

dancing, jogging with a partner will do the trick.

ADEQUATE SLEEP: Getting a good night sleep of up to 8 hours is one key

to looking beautiful. Lack of sleep causes puffy under eye bag, dark circles and

tired worn out skin. Youthful looking skin occurs as a result of skin cell

regeneration and cell turnover and this happens when you get enough sleep.
