Product review:The Wrinkle Cure

I ran across a very informative book at the library about 2 months ago, that I happen to enjoy very much, so I decided to buy it from my favorite place to buy books and other items (Amazon). It was very affordable. While I am not yet at the age where I should be concerned about wrinkles (28 yrs), this book provides excellent info to start maintaining your skin now so that you may age gracefully. I was very surprised to learn that Dr. Perricone, who is a Dermatologist, had non conventional views (for someone in the "traditional" medical community that is) on the usage of certain vitamins and foods in maintaining health and a beautiful appearance. He, unlike many dermatologists, does not promote plastic surgery, but rather puts his patients on nutritional regimens to combat their skin concerns, and has had much success. He lists some of the foods and vitamins that you should be consuming if you want to be your most radiant self, and even provides some resources info. This book is a definite must-read especially for anyone who notices that their skin is looking a little dull and lacks luster. Your diet just may be the culprit.

Natural curl definers for Kinky-curly hair texture

Are you a natural ebony girl with kinky-curly texture? Do you love being all natural, but occasionally want to experiment with different styles? Well you're in luck, kinky-curly hair texture offers a variety of options! If you are looking to define your curls a little more and give them a more slick look, try Kinky-Curly's curling custard . I have not had the opportunity to try it yet myself, but I have heard (and seen) many rave reviews about this product. I love the fact that it is all natural ingredients! You can purchase directly from the Kinky-Curly website or if you have a Whole Foods market in your area, it can be purchased from there as well. It may seem expensive, but one jar can go a long way! Shelley Davis, who is the creator of the Kinky-Curly products, is pictured here. The look of her hair is the type of results you will see. When you are tired of the look simply wash out! I have heard a few tips are necessary to stick to when applying Kinky-Curly, such as start by cleansing hair first. Next tip is to use the Knot today conditioner instead of other conditioners. This is because some conditioners have oils in it and if you use the K.C. with them, your results may be too sticky or leave residue (personally I would probably not use the Knot Today conditioner because it contains alcohol, and I trt to avoid alcohol for my hair and skin). Although I have heard of some say that other conditioners have been used such as Carol's Daughter brand conditioner . Another tip is to use a little and not overdo it, so as to avoid stickiness from improper application. Lastly you can just wet hands in the morning and run through hair, no need to reapply product. While I have seen a few bad experiences with this product, the majority have all been good. If you do not know anyone personally who has used this product then check out youtube.com and see videos of women who have applied K.C. Now, for a more inexpensive way to define your curls, wash your hair with a gentle non-sulfate shampoo (important!), condition, and afterwards apply a leave in conditioner or creme (I happen to use my own "lemon custard" hair cream) and do a twist out or braid out. For anyone unaware, a twist out or braid out is just a term for braiding or twisting the hair into individual braids or twists all over the head and allowing it to set (usually overnight) and simply unloosening the braids or twists. Once done your curls will be more defined. At this point you can put it in a updo, ponytail, or simply leave it as is. If you want to temporarily change your texture to straight every once in a while, then rather than using a flat iron, or hot comb which can be just as damaging as chemical straighteners when used improperly, try the Maxiglide straightener, which uses steam to straighten the hair, and not the direct pressing of heat on the hair strands to "iron" the hair.
The beauty of Maxiglide is it works well on all type hair textures, although they do have different type staighteners for the kinky-curly type texture. Remember good hair is healthy hair in any type texture; from straight to curly to wavy to kinky-curly hair, learn how to appreciate and take care of the hair you have been given!

Product review:Humphey's Facial Toner

The product review for today will be Humphrey's brand facial toner. Humphrey's makes an alcohol free toner that is very gentle and soothing to the skin. Virtually anyone can use this toner. It comes in a variety of scents, which are there not just for smell but for the various skin nourishing/healing properties. The one I am in love with is the cucumber melon variety. After cleansing my face with my "afternoon tea" facial wash (available for purchase for at my shopit store), I use this gentle toner. and follow with my "barely there" evening facial moisturizer for oily skin (recipe for this will be available in my upcoming ebook). I love the way my skin feels afterward! I have tried a lot of toners and seldom do you find ones that are alcohol free, and light. Humphrey's is one of the few that I actually like. You can get Humphrey's toner at Whole Foods if you have one in your area, or online. My favorite place to purchase many items is amazon.com
I almost always find great deals at amazon, and you can find the Humphrey's toner there for a super low price! If you visit fubao health store , they also have quite a few of the Humphrey's toner in different scents.
