How the Eyes are Indicators of Health and Proper Personal Care

marieclaire.com

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but how healthy your eyes are tells a lot about you. And don't think that only blue, green or brown eyes are beautiful. Even simple black eyes can be a thing of beauty if you know how to care for them.

I think it's useless to say here that watching TV or gazing at the PC screen a long time can be harmful to your eyes. I mean, most times you can't but watch TV a long time or stare at the PC screen for long periods---unless you leave the city and live in the mountains.

So, given the urban living conditions today, how can you care for your eyes?

One, eat red and yellow fruits and vegetables. The bright red color is actually lycopene and is good for the eyes. The yellow or orange or yellow orange color is a flavonoid which is really an antioxidant that fights free radicals. Free radicals can weaken your eyes.

I love eating yellow bananas (don't laugh because there are red, blue and green bananas) and I heard that the black dots you see on the peel are really an indicator that they have more nutrition.

Anyway, if you lack luster and glow in the eyes, it may mean you have inner health problems, even serious ones, like liver or blood problems. The eyes are windows of the body and its internal systems. Doctors often look at them to see if they're healthy. Healthy eyes often mean good overall health. Christ himself gave a hint on this:

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light."

Thus, to get rid of sick-looking eyes, stay on tiptop health and shape.

But tired eyes are another story altogether. You may be healthy inside but the body will get tired sooner or later with stress and prolonged physical activity. Tired eyes due to stress is what we don't want. Because stress is not remedied with rest. You have to get rid of the source of stress to get rid of tired eyes due to stress.

Get it?

But there are ways to help minimize tired or stressed eyes aside from getting rid of stress. So, while weeding out stress (example through exercise and mental relaxation), you can apply effective first aid remedies to make your eyes look good and full of life. Often, physical attraction starts from the eyes. So if you want to appear attractive to the opposite gender (or get extra plus points to possibly get hired), start with your eyes.

You wouldn't want to meet someone romantically or meet the big boss of a company when applying for a job with your eyes all puffy, with dark spots or wrinkle lines at the sides. And you've got to have a solution for this instantly, like right on the spot. What would you do?

Well, you have to have a ready and effective eye conditioner that's handy and easily fits your bag or pocket. It's also advisable for men. NLighten Eye Gel works wonders for this purpose. It literally deflates puffy eyes and eye bags within seconds or minutes.

Why People Look at Your Face

www.startribune.com

Congratulate us! This is our 200th article!

Anyway, the best skin areas are those on the soles of your feet and on your butt area. They're the smoothest and firmest. Unfortunately, people don't look at your feet soles or your butt. They look at your face, first and last.

And your face is where skin is most sensitive.

I don't know why it's like that, but it's like that.

Most people don't have problems with their facial skin, but some do. Like I did in college. I always had this struggle before I left home for school---how to fix my facial skin. And the main problem was what soap to use.

I was a health and fitness buff then, but your shapely body often didn't matter when you had an oily, messy face. You wash it now and it's clean and tidy, but not after an hour or so. That was my problem.

I had used a number of recommendations---Neco, Perla, Safeguard, Ivory, Johnson's Baby Soap, laundry soaps---and they were good soaps (except the laundry soaps). But what wasn't good was my face. Nothing worked on me. Before I reached school, I always felt sticky and dirty on the face.

So, for ten long years (yeah, I went to college for 10 years because I was a working student) that was my everyday problem.

Bad news was, it's hard to hide the face. And it's the one place on your body people look at first and often make their judgment about you. People at the office, school, and public jeeps and buses all looked at your face the moment you stepped in.

Worst was when I applied for jobs.

So, why do people look at your face first and last? Because it's a kind of resume or biodata. To most folks, it can speak volumes of who you are.

You young folks today are lucky. There's NLighten Kojic Papaya with Glutathione. I and my sons have been using it since last year and it's been effectively helping us keep our faces tidy all day.

I work out a lather on my face and let it stay there for 2 to 3 minutes. Then I rinse. Oiliness is gone and stays gone for hours! The same works for my kids.

Facial Skin Care During Your Summer Outing

casualtravelist.com

WELLNESS. We're preparing for a trip to Calamba, Laguna this afternoon. My wife is busily preparing her wonderful picnic dishes, and I serve as her quality control or master taster.

Anyway, when you're right in the middle of a summer outing---especially when you're on the road to the outing destination---it's difficult to maintain clean skin, especially facial skin. You get all oily and dust and germs easily stick to your skin.

I should know---I'm an expert on oily skins---I mean I probably have the most oily face on the planet. It's not really getting rid of oiliness for good but controlling it. Because oil on the skin helps you delay skin aging. Dry skin ages faster.

So oily skin is good. Too much oil---well, that's the problem we must control, especially during an outing. If only I could collect oil from my face and sell it as cooking oil. I'd probably be rich!

So what do you do to manage sebum or skin oiliness, especially if you're right in the middle of an outing?

My tip is to eat no oily food before the road trip. Eat fruits with lots of Vitamin C, like pineapple (but be sure you have moved your bowels well before you hit the road). Then, during the outing, eat less oily or greasy food. Careful on junk foods, too.

But what if you can't avoid these foods?

Then take this handy skin oxygen therapy product, 02 Bubble Cleanser, which I believe is the best remedy. You can easily take it with you anywhere. Once you feel your face is so oily and dirty, just spray a few quantity on your hands and rob gently on your face to refresh and clean it.

Then your face feels like it just had a complete bath! Refreshed, rejuvenated and soft and silky.

Your facial skin stands out from the rest!

Why Your Face Needs Facial Refreshment

WELLNESS. Do you treat your face to some refreshments now and then?

We understand it well when our bodies need refreshment. And the refreshment it mostly needs is rehydration. So we drink cool tall drinks of freshly squeezed fruits.

But few of us understand facial refreshment. We forget that the face is very much a part of us as the body is, and what the body needs it also needs.

The body needs nourishment and exercise. So does the face. The body needs to be refreshed. So does the face.

Facial refreshment is essential especially when you're out in the streets exposed to the sun, dust, smoke and the elements. Without proper facial skin care like facial refreshments, your face often suffers skin cell death.

So you need to treat your skin with the refreshments it needs to relieve it of stress and contamination or infection,

But you can't be washing your face now and then.

That's why 02 Bubble cleanser is the best handy solution. You just keep a small spray bottle of it in your bag and you can get facial refreshments anywhere you are, anytime you want it. It effectively hydrates and rejuvenates your skin through its special oxygen therapy and essentials that relieve skin of dead cells, sebum (skin oiliness) and other excess debris and impurities.

Oily Face? Have You Had Skin Oxygen Therapy?

It's not so much the oily face as it is the dirt and microscopic debris that stick to your face and insert themselves into the corners of your nose and other parts of your face.

Then the fact that often, you can't wash your face properly when you're out and merely wiping off your face with a hanky doesn't suffice.

And did you know that often washing your face can irritate your facial skin?

So what do you do?

Answer--Skin Oxygen Therapy.

If you haven't tried skin oxygen therapy yet, you're forfeiting your face of a lot of proper skin care, cleaning and convenience. But you can now pamper your face with O2 Bubble Cleanser.

You get a refreshing face wash without actually washing your face, and you can do it anywhere you are, even right amid heavy traffic with all the smoke and dust irritating your skin.

Simply spray it on your face, gently rub, and your face feels fresh and the oiliness gone. It's bubbly creamy so it's not messy. Best part is, it's for all types of skin. It comes in easy-to-carry spray bottles you can conveniently keep in your bag or purse.
