Pedicures
Kitten heels, funky and open toed sandals require toes and feet to look perfect and polished. A pedicure is a method to get better looking feet and nails. The word pedicure comes from the Latin word which means care of the foot. A Pedicure is helpful to prevent nail diseases and nail disorders. Pedicures are not only limited for nails, the dead skin of feet is also rubbed off using a rough stone called pumice stone under this process.
Like other beauty treatments, the Pedicure also has a long and rich history and reference in the past. In the current time more and more people are opting for pedicures for different reasons world over. Pedicures are actually a set of foot caring procedures which include foot exfoliation, foot care, nail care, foot massage and foot bath. There are two great reasons for a pedicure; the first reason is to give the feet a well-deserved pampering and deep cleaning and the second reason is to add a sexy look to the toes for summer sandals.
Soft and supple feet can be had by regular use of pumice stone and massaging with moisturizers to counter the effect of daily wear and tear on the feet. Medicated creams or Vaseline applied to the feet before retiring to bed work wonders. The problems related to feet that have occurred over long period of time should be referred to a foot care specialist. We feel our feet also deserve a bit of pampering. The process of the pedicure begins with the foot bath along with exfoliation, both are done simultaneously. After that foot is gently dried with the help of clean, germfree towels and some deep action moisturizers are applied. Now for the nails, a cotton pad soaked with nail-polish remover is used to take off old polish. After the old polish is removed toenails are clipped straight across with clippers and a nail file is used to smooth the edges, including the sides.
Feet are soaked again in the hot water for five minutes, and then they are rested on the edge of the foot bath. A foot file is dipped in the water, and then it is used to smooth heels, the balls of feet and the outsides of pinkie toes. Now they are patted dry with a clean towel. To get cuticles under control a nail brush dipped in an exfoliating scrub is applied where nail meets skin to clean the area.
Feet are again rinsed and dried; now a generous amount of super-moisturizing foot lotion or cream is applied and massaged into feet and calves. Feet and leg massage are an important part of pedicures. The technique helps to relax the person having the treatment. Foot reflexology is extensively used while giving the foot massage; it relieves many nerves that end in feet. Therapists may also massage with hot stones in their hands, and use special creams that have menthol in them and which are said to help rejuvenate the foot. The moisturizer is now washed off the toenails with soap and water and then dried.
Now it time for beautification of nails, space is created between toes with a foam toe separator and one coat of base coat, two coats of color and one coat of top coat is applied to the nails. Nail-polish remover is applied to remove any polish that missed the target and is on the skin. Polish is now allowed to dry for a few hours before putting on close-toed shoes. It is advisable to apply one coat of top coat three days after the pedicure, then every third day after that to keep polish from chipping. If feet are going to be exposed in the sun, a top coat with sunscreen keeps the polish from fading.
It is advisable that proper care for hygiene should be maintained during your pedicure and all the tools to be used should be properly sanitized and sterilized to avoid the bacterial and microorganism infections. During the process of the pedicure if any cut or skin damage is done, it should be immediately treated with antiseptics.

Homemade Spa Treatment and Beauty Recipes
You would love to pamper your body, wouldn't you? For complying with the tremendous work you do, your body definitely deserves rejuvenation, doesn't it? You might want to visit a nearby spa once in a while but you can also treat yourself to a luxurious spa-like experience at your home every week. You can refresh your nerves regularly, plus you don't have to loosen your purse strings much and it's greatest for those who do not have a spa nearby.
Get set and go: Kick-start your spa day with some of your regular exercises or take a fresh walk in the neighbourhood. After a short rest, apply a little olive oil or almond oil and massage in gentle circles. Leave it for half an hour and you can continue with your chores for the meantime.
Especially for your feet: Now, you are going to take special care for your tired legs. Take a small tub and fill it with warm water. Put a small amount of salt in it. This helps to remove the pain and fills you with freshness. You can add a few drops of lavender oil, too. Immerse your feet in it. After a while rub your heels with pumice stone. Cut your nails and rub the toes with a soft scrubber. After a soothing time in the water dab your feet dry. There's more to go.
Setting the atmosphere: Take all the stuff you need into the bathroom and keep them within reach.
That harmony: Music plays an important role on the day. Choose soothing music for your player and play it with a low volume. One good suggestion would be the sitar or the sax.
Radiance: You are going to treat yourself to a wonderful light. Pick some scented candles. You can also light some decorative candles and use a room spray. Try burning some incense sticks if you have good ventilation. Lighting some earthen lamps will look glamourous too.
THE APPETISER
Facial: Do a little steaming on your face but, if you have an oily skin dip a towel in hot water and intolerable heat, press the towel on your face. Now, you are ready for the facial. You can use your regular homemade facials or try these. Mash some papaya and add a little amount of honey. Papaya exfoliates the skin and nourishes it to a great extent and honey can give you special glow. You can use Fuller's earth, grape juice and a little amount of sandalwood paste if you have an oily skin. Or just beat an egg-white and spread it on your face.
THE ENTREE
Tub: Fill the tub with hot water. Squeeze a lemon into it. This will refresh you and make you feel younger. Pour in two tablespoons of rosewater. You can add rose or jasmine petals if you want that exotic look. Add a small pillow where your head is about to rest. Your head is going to love this.
Unwinding: Now, step into the tub and let your head relax on the pillow. Close your eyes with cucumber slices and say, "Relax... relax..." to yourself slowly. Your body will correspond to what you say in your mind and begin to relax your nerves. Use a gentle body wash and mild scrubber. You can use a mild soap too. Dove is a very good example.
Finally: Apply a moisturising lotion on your body. And then go for a face cream that makes you look just gorgeous. For your feet, heat a little vaseline and rub it on your feet with extra care on your heels. Now, treat yourself to a refreshing cool drink.

The Benefits and Dangers of Anti Aging Supplements
Taking supplements to fight the process of aging is gaining in popularity. These anti aging supplements range from everyday multivitamins to products that claim to increase levels of certain hormones in the body to make people more youthful. There are certain benefits and risks involved in taking these supplements.
Multivitamins and Vitamin Supplements
Multivitamins have been used for the most part safely, for years. The benefit of taking vitamin supplements is still being debated; however the general consensus seems to be that, when taken properly, they at least are not generally harmful. In certain situations however, they can be harmful. The shelves of vitamins offered in many different types of stores today are full of many different types of supplements including multivitamins and vitamins sold on their own (i.e. vitamin E or vitamin A supplements), or a few different supplements similar in nature being sold in one pill (i.e. vitamin B complex).
The danger of these supplements occurs when a person is either taking pills that overlap minerals that can build up in the body, or when he or she is taking too many of one supplement. To prevent injury from this type of situation, consumers should check with their doctors before starting any medications, even over the counter anti aging supplements, or supplements of any kind.
Herbal Remedies
Herbal remedies are also growing in popularity. This type of anti aging supplement may claim to accomplish many different things depending on the type of ingredients. Some of the ailments this type of supplement offers to help cure include memory problems and lack of energy. Some over the counter herbal medications also claim to help the buyer sleep, reduce joint pain, and even improve the appearance of aging skin.
Some of these medications are more effective than others, and many have yet to be proven. The real danger with these anti aging supplements however, is not in the consumer dollars possibly wasted, but in the negative effects they can have on the persons' health. One herbal remedy recently removed from the market by the FDA is ephedra, which was shown to have negative side effects that could even result in death.
Herbal remedies can also be dangerous when they interact with other medications. It is possible for some of these anti aging supplements to interact badly with each other as well as with certain prescription medications. It is important to communicate well with your doctor, to help ensure you do not experience these bad reactions.

Start Taking Nutritional Supplements for Natural Skin Glow
Healthy glowing skin is one of the most cherished dreams of all of us. Our skin is the reflection of our health and vitality, physical, mental and emotional wellness. A radiant and glowing skin indicates good health, positive attitude and vibrates self confidence.
Natural skin care is not just about using skin products but also an ongoing process of a result of a healthy life-style and right diet that includes vitamins, minerals and nutrients.
But due to busy lifestyle sometimes we are unable to take proper care of our meal plan. This may lead to vitamin deficiency. So instead of trying some beauty cosmetic first we must check the diet that whether it's enough to provide our basic need of nutrients. If the answer is no then we must go for some nutritional supplements to fill that nutrition gap.
Nutritional supplements will not only provide us with radiant skin glow but also have several health benefits. Also the foundation for good health is a lifestyle that includes a sensible diet with nutritional supplements, sufficient quality sleep, exercises and weight management. Taking high-quality, anti-aging advanced nutritional supplements helps fill in the dietary gaps that everyone will have.
Taking Calcium and Vitamin D supplements can help our bones to stay healthy and strong, and even help prevent osteoporosis in women. Antioxidant nutritional supplements can help us against heart disease, lower the risk of cancer, and help to protect eyes, lungs, and the brain. Fruits and vegetables are very high in antioxidants, so we should make sure that we eat them whenever possible. However most of the time we do not eat enough fruits and vegetables, so taking antioxidants in the form of nutritional supplements is a viable alternative.
However, nutritional supplements should never be used as a substitute for a good diet. Eating at least three well-balanced meals and two well-balanced snacks per day is still the best way to be sure we're getting all the vitamins and minerals our body needs to stay fit and healthy.

Will Mineral Make-up Help Treat Acne?
Since its advent almost a decade ago, mineral make-up has made a potpourri of promises tempting enough to make any woman at least give this image altering cosmetic a try. One of the benefits headlining mineral make-up is its proclaimed ability to help control acne and hide acne scars.
Of course, women plagued by a legion of pimples desire relief from this emotionally taxing skin condition. However, is mineral make-up the right cosmetic choice for camouflaging and treating acne? Moreover, is there a scientific basis for such claims?
Lets answer this question by reviewing the facts. The key ingredients of most mineral make-ups include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Several clinical studies have documented medicinal usages of both minerals, which could also prove useful in acne therapies.
Anti-bacterial and inflammation reducing effects of zinc oxide:
The life of an acne lesion involves a myriad of hormonal shifts, cellular changes and immunological responses within the skin. Amid these molecular activities, the skin works to control the spread of acne aggravating bacteria that provoke inflamed lesions.
Zinc oxide could help enhance this bacterial policing. For example, a study in the European Journal of Surgery found that zinc oxide could actually reduce the bacterial count and limit inflammation in open wounds created on the skin of mice.
Besides expediting wound healing, zinc oxide has proven itself effective at removing facial blemishes as equaling vexing as acne- warts. According to a report in the International Journal of Dermatology, topically applied zinc oxide treated warts better than a combination of salicylic acid (a common active ingredient in topical acne medications) and lactic acid.
The drying effect of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide
Another remedial trait of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is their drying capacity. Experiments with zinc oxide presented in Skin Research and Technology demonstrated that this mineral has a drying and peeling effect on the skin. Similarly, acne drugs like isotretinoin (also trademarked as Accutane) exhibit a drying and peeling effect on the skin that ultimately helps reduce a patient's acne lesion count and the visibility of acne scarring.
In short, you could link much of the potential acne controlling traits of mineral make-up to the properties of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. Zinc oxide can reduce inflammation-causing bacteria and encourage increased peeling or exfoliation of the skin.
Heightened exfoliation can counteract deficiencies in skin shedding that lead to clogged pores and more pimples. Finally, the combination of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide are drying agents that can absorb excess facial oil secretions. This drying action can further reduce the chances of rancid, hardened oils and clumped dead skin cells blocking the pores and evolving into acne lesions. Based on these facts, testing out mineral make-up to combat acne makes sense.

Natural Ways to Heal Your Skin
Did you know that there are natural remedies for some of the most common skin concerns? I will provide you with some remedies for three of the top concerns among dermatology patients.
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when oil and dead skin cells clog the skin's pores. Remedies include:
* Eating green vegetables, carrots, celery, cucumber, cold-water ocean fish, and brown rice.
* Avoiding or eliminating sugar, fried food, dairy (especially those containing sugar), and caffeine.
* Giving yourself a facial with avocado skins or raw honey.
* Washing your face with warm water twice a day with castile soap, then alternating warm and cold applications.
Eczema is a term for a group of medical conditions that cause the skin to become inflamed or irritated, with scaling, blisters, and itching. Eczema can be caused by an excess of saturated fat, cold weather, and detergents. Remedies include:
* Eating cold-water fish (such as salmon) containing omega-3 polyunsaturated fats.
* Avoiding fruit juice, spicy food, fatty food, sweets, and citrus.
* Applying raw honey or sliced cucumber with vinegar to the irritated skin.
* Wearing gloves when using chemicals or detergents.
Dry skin is the result of poor nourishment, dehydration, low thyroid function, or soap and chemical exposure. Remedies include:
* Increasing water intake
* Avoiding moisturizers with mineral oil, a petrochemical that is used in many skin care products. Mineral oil blocks pores and dries skin.
* Applying olive oil or coconut oil to your skin and use them in your cooking
* Making a facial or body mask with half of a banana or avocado and apply to face for 15 minutes.
How do your healthy and beauty products stack up? Since this month's topic is healthy skin, I thought I would share with you a website goes into detail about the good, the bad, and the ugly in health and beauty products. I was surprised by what I learned about some of the natural products I buy. http://www.ewg.org/reports/skindeep2/
