How to Prevent Stretch Marks with Weleda Oil

Stretch marks, we hate them and trying to avoid them all our life.
They happen because our skin stretches as we gain weight. And of course, pregnancy is a very common time for a woman to get stretch marks.
So how we can prevent them?
Lets start with a drinking a lot of water, drink at least eight glasses of water a day.
The way we eat is important for our skin elasticity. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetable and omega 3s. Avocados, bluberries, strawberries, eggs, nuts and fish are the best.
Next, apply a good oil and cream to your body every day and rub it in circular motions.
Exercise during pregnancy. Yoga and pilates give you an excellent work out.


One of my favorite oils is WELEDA - Pregnancy Body Oil for Stretch Marks. 
It smells great, improves the appearance of the skin, absorbs really fast and keeps my skin soft all day. I just love the way it feels. 
I am now 6 months pregnant and still without stretch marks. 
I keep using Weleda Oil 2-4 times a day whenever I feel my skin is stretched.

Water keeps your skin and hair hydrated

Staying hydrated is important for healthy hair and skin. Water helps flush out toxins and waste products from the body, also moisturizes your skin from the inside, making it more youthful looking. It won't happen overnight, but just a week of drinking a healthy amount of water, you can see positive effects on your skin. Drinking at least 8 glasses of water per day will keep your skin moisturized and help eliminate toxins effectively. 
You can also get water from fresh fruits and vegetables.


Water benefits:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

- Cleanse your body

- Regulate your body temperature

- Reduce your risk of heart attack

- Helps flush out toxins and waste products from the body

- Drinking plenty of water really does help skin become healthier

- Water moisturizes your skin from the inside, making it more youthful looking

- Drinking enough water each day will help to increase your metabolism

- Being dehydrated can make you feel tired 

- It is also good for your hair, because water help condition your hair. 

I love drinking water, it's my favorite drink. I know it doesn't really have a flavor, but I feel good after drinking it. 
As I already mentioned, water keeps your skin and hair hydrated. It also cleans out your system.
From now on, always make sure to drink enough water. Try to have an extra glass of water for every glass of alcohol/cup of coffee you take, to prevent possible dehydration. 
However, if you are having so much excess water, it could be very dangerous. When you consume too much water, the level of an important mineral, sodium, can drop too low. This is known as hyponatremia. 
Symptoms of hyponatremia include: confusion, disorientation, nausea and vomiting.

Using body lotion soften your skin

I love using body lotions, it soften my skin and leaves it delicately scented.
Now it is getting cold outside and so it's the perfect time to hydrate your skin from head to toe. 

A quality body skin lotion can work wonders on your skin. Applied after each shower or bath, can help to keep your skin soft, hydrated and supple.
Did you know that by using lotion you can help minimize the aging process? 
It also makes your skin look healthier and gets rid of dry skin.
Using body lotion daily helps it a lot, especially if you have dry skin.

Extra tip for body scrub: 
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Body scrubs are great for cleaning your skin and getting rid of dead cells, dirt and oil. The firm, circular motions you use when you rub the scrub against your body can also improve blood circulation and firm up your skin. Treating yourself to a body scrub, especially when combined with a massage can be very relaxing.
Apply a small amount of scrub to a soft washcloth and scrub gently in a circular motion while slowly moving down the body from shoulders to feet. Applying too much pressure when using a body scrub can cause skin irritation and scratches. 
Rinse and apply a thin layer of moisturizer. Your skin should look and feel better already.
Do not use your body scrub too often because frequent scrubbing can damage the young skin layer.


Coconut oil is ideal as a skin lotion because it not just makes your skin soft, it can protect your skin against damage and can make your skin younger looking. Pure virgin coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotion, if you want to experience the maximum healing effects.  It can help bring back a youthful appearance. 
When you apply coconut oil to your skin, it can help bring back a youthful appearance by removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, making the skin softer, younger and smoother.

Prepare your skin for Autumn and Winter

 

Achieving a smooth, luminous complexion during the winter can be difficult.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I like Autumn, however, the season also comes along with cold weather, wind and conditions that will leave your skin dry.

Are you ready for Autumn?
Here are a few simple skin rejuvenation tips, your little reminder: 

Youthful skin

Stay hydrated and drink plenty of water every day. Water helps flush out toxins and waste products from the body, also moisturizes your skin from the inside, making it more youthful looking.     
Sleep on silk pillowcases to pre­vent hair damage/breakage and keep your skin look­ing youth­ful. Your hair and skin will thank you.  
Keeping the skin hydrated is very important so applying a moisturizer is a must. 


Slow down aging

Drink Green tea, it is an excellent source of antioxidants and as we know antioxidants can slow down aging. green tea can also help in weight loss, but drinking one cup isn't going to help. The best way to lose weight is drinking about 3-4 cups daily.
 

Reduce eye wrinkles

Applying mashed avocado decreases the appearances of fine lines around the eyes and under eye wrinkles. The natural oils in the avocado will moisturize and nourish your skin, and your skin will look beautiful and more attractive.
Avocados are an excellent and effective remedy for reducing eye wrinkles. 


Speed up your metabolism
If you overeat or feel you cannot digest your food properly, try drinking honey with warm water. Honey improves digestion. You can also mix a spoonful of honey and lemon juice from half a lemon into a cup of warm water and drink it. 
In the morning also include a good amount of yogurt in your breakfast, it is a best thing to make your digestion system strong and it help to digest a heavy meal easily. Check for live and active cultures on the label.   


Deep treat with olive (coconut) oil for your hair
Warm up a little olive oil and rub into your scalp. You can leave it on for an hour or overnight.
Wash out with a good quality shampoo.
Deep treat with coconut oil. Same as above.
 
Increase blood flow to the scalp - massage is an effective way to bring more blood to the area.

Maintain a healthy weight, so that the veins in your legs aren't under too much pressure. 

Drink a lots of water (it really helps). 
Also, limit your salt. Eating less salt can help with the swelling that comes with varicose veins. Eat a diet rich in fibre, include fruits, berries, fresh vegetables and whole grains. 
Remember that too much salt in your diet is one of the major causes of spider veins.


Use Bio-Oil
It is a specialist skincare oil for the face and body, specifically formulated to help reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, stretch marks, aging skin and uneven skin tone.
It should be massaged in a circular motion into the scar and surrounding skin, twice daily, for a minimum of 3 months.     


Choose to be positive 
Try to control your mind, learn how to calm yourself anytime you are stressed or anxious with positive afffirmations. Getting in control of the mind is a process that begins with awareness. Start with basic - choose your thoughts you want to think and hold your focus there. It's not easy, but you can do it!

Milk, natural way to healthy skin

Keep your skin healthy and glowing all summer long

Summer is here.

It's time to show off your beautiful skin by wearing sun dresses, skirts, etc. Summer means sun, shorts, sandals, bathing suits and bronzed skin.

But remember to keep your skin safe. It's really important to protect your skin from the sun.  

Sun damage can lead to premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, marks, dry skin, and even skin cancer over time.  

Here are some easy ways to keep your skin healthy and radiant all summer long!

 

1.) Drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated is important for healthy hair and skin. Always make sure to drink enough water, especially in hot places.  

2.) Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables salads to ensure that you're getting all the antioxidants and nutrients your skin needs.  
There are some fruits which make the digestion very fast like grapefruit and water melon. So you can speed up your metabolism. The best time to eat a fruit (any fruit) is either first thing in the morning on an empty stomach or as a mid-morning snack, between breakfast and lunch. It is advisable to eat fruits at least 30 minutes before any heavy meal.   


3.) Protect your hair from the sun.
Heat and UV rays from the sun can leave your hair dull and brittle. You need to take precautions to protect it. Look for styling products with a built-in sun protection factor (SPF).


4.) Always use sunscreen to prevent age spots and wrinkles. Put at least SPF 30 on your hands and body before you go out in the sun, especially when driving your car. Don’t forget to reapply when needed.  


5.) Stay out of the sun between the hours of 11am and 3pm. The hottest part of the day during the summer is the most damaging time. Do not expose yourself to direct sunlight during the hottest period of the day, remember that UV rays are strong and damage not only hair but also skin.  
If you use fashion accessories such as hats, scarves, they will keep you cool from the sun, you will look good and protect your hair at the same time. 


6.) Wear sunglasses. Overexposure to the sun damages your skin and speeds up aging like nothing else. Wearing sunglasses prevents you from squinting, which we all know can contribute to wrinkles around the eyes. 


7.) Wash your hair after using a swimming pool, the chemicals in the pool may harm your hair.


8.) In a hot climate, it is best to go out with a minimal makeup. Wearing minimal makeup is great for summertime because it means that you don't have to worry about your makeup melting off your skin. When the weather gets hot, makeup can begin to run, smudge and practically melt off your face. While on vacation, leave your makeup off as often as possible. This is a great opportunity to let your skin breathe.


9.) Avoid spraying perfume on your skin in the sun. The psoralens in perfume can permanently stain your skin when they react with the sun. Also the alcohol contains in the perfume attracts the sun. During the summertime, avoid spraying your perfume on your neck. 


10)Get wavy/curly hair by washing your hair at night then putting it up into a tight bun. When you wake up in the morning, if it is not dry, blow dry your hair (still up in a bun). Then take out the bun and you should have wavy hair.  


Extra tip:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
It's summer time and we all know that this is the time to kick off your shoes and show off those sandals-ready feet and perfectly painted toe nails. 
Are you ready?
No?
Smooth cracked heels using papaya.
Papaya contains enzymes that digest proteins, making it helpful in treating cracked heels, soles and removing rough skin from feet.
Mash up chunks of papaya into a mask and spread it onto cracked heels for 15 minutes.
Then rinse with lukewarm water. Apply twice a week.  


Have a nice summer everyone!

Eat Cherries for Youthful Skin

I like to eat as healthy as possible.  
Cherries are a super fruit rich in antioxidants and vitamins.
I like cherries a lot. 

When I was a little girl, I was spending weekends and holidays in my grandparents house. 
They had a huge garden with many cherry trees. I remember climbing up a tree with my cousin and eating cherries. We'd sit up there for hours and just eat. And then take a break. We stayed up there talking, laughing, it was so relaxing.
Sometimes our parents gave us  a bucket to pick cherries and I remember that we were eating more cherries than we actually picked.
Ahhh, sweet memories! :-) 


Cherries health benefits:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
Cherries are high in antioxidants, help reduce the risk of cancer, inflammatory problems, heart disease, promoting healthy skin and brain cells.

1.) Cherries are an excellent source of beta carotene (vitamin A).

2.) They are also a source of zinc, iron, potassium, manganese and good source of copper.

3.) Cherries aiding in brain health and in the prevention of memory loss.

4.) They are great for digestion, weight loss.

5.) Cherries help liver and kidneys to get rid of toxicity which makes them perform better.

6.) Cherries act as a natural painkiller.

7.) Cherries reduce inflammation.

8.) Cancer protection.

9.) Cherries help you sleep, because they contain a substance called melatonin.

10) Anti-Aging. Melatonin found in cherries also slows down the aging process.


More about melatonin:
Cherries are rich in stable antioxidant melatonin. Melatonin is essential for our immune system and it helps maintain a healthy sleeping pattern. Melatonin can cross the blood-brain barrier easily and produces soothing effects on the brain neurons, calming down nervous system irritability, which helps relieve neurosis, insomnia and headache conditions.

Remember: Eating cherries can help ease the pain of arthritis, aid insomnia and other sleep-related disorders. Fresh cherries can provide your body with a high dose of antioxidants that protect skin cells from free radical damage, which is the main cause behind aging.


Quick Tip :
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Cut the cherries in half, apply it into your face (neck) and leave it for about 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. Cherries help in removing dead skin cells. Your skin will become shiny and glowing.

How great it feels knowing your favorite fruit has loads of benefits attached.  :-)

Eat more Broccoli for younger looking skin

Do you like broccoli?

Personally I like eating broccoli and I'm the kind of person who doesn't mind eating the same thing everyday. It's great with pretty much everything... broccoli salad, pizza, broccoli with cheese, with garlic sauteed, with pasta, meat, etc.

Let's face it ... it is good for you and they're so many health benefits that comes from eating them.

Broccoli is rich in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.

It is also a good source of minerals like calcium, manganese, iron, magnesium, selenium, zinc and phosphorus. Plus, it also contains beta carotene, vitamin E, vitamin B complex that helps to give our skin a glow and keeping the skin young.  

Broccoli slow the aging process by reducing free radical damage. 

Broccoli is also great because it is very low in calories, so you can eat as much as you want.

When you eat broccoli, your skin gets renewed more quickly and gives your complexion a beautiful, natural glow.

Broccoli even protects your skin from the damaging rays of the sun. It protects skin from the inside out, something sunscreen can't do.

If you haven't been eating enough fruits and vegetables, then stocking your refrigerator with raw broccoli may be helpful.

My review of Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Soothing Day Cream

I love Nivea products and have been using it all my life. 
Nivea products are really good quality, do what they say they are going to do and they work amazing.
Nivea keeping your skin nice and moist at all time while protecting you from harsh weather, at any age.

I like to experiment and try all different types of Nivea creams. I believe it is good to change your face cream sometimes as the seasons change. For me Nivea is a must have in my beauty regime.
Lately I have been using Nivea Visage Pure & Natural Soothing Day Cream.
NIVEA Visage Pure & Natural Soothing Day Cream restores dry and sensitive skin to a natural balance and reduces redness and irritation with an added chamomile infusion. 
It is free from parabens, silicones, artificial colours and mineral oils.


My review:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

What I like about this product…

It is rich, soothing and gives naturally soft, smooth skin.  

It also leaves your skin hydrated and it smells very fresh. 

It's lighter on application, you only need the tiniest bit of product.

On top of all this, it provides intensive 24h soothing moisture and enriches skin’s natural healthy glow.  

I love this day cream, for me it really works. After using it my skin is beautifully soft and clear of all blemishes. Plus, I think it is fantastic how its natural and doesn't contain any bad ingredients for your skin.

What I do not like about this product…

What I don't like about this cream is that it doesn't have SPF. The addition of an SPF would be a good idea.

Overall this cream is a fantastic find and gives far better results than any expensive cream.

'Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live.''

~Jim Rohn~

''If you don't take care of your body, where will you live?''

~Author Unknown~

 

Let's talk about body scrubs

Three years ago, I went to Marrakech for a wedding of my boyfriend's brother. 
We spend there one week and it was amazing. My boyfriend surprised me with a nice Moroccan Hammam Spa treatment. Moroccan Hammam is a steam room where different body treatments like aromatherapy, detoxification, steam, massage and relaxation are done. It last about 90 minutes.
It was an amazing experience for me and my skin felt like a newborn baby skin. I could still feel the effects up to three weeks afterwards - my skin just felt super soft and smooth.
This is why I love scrubs. 

Lets talk a little more about body scrubs.
Regular use of body scrubs can rub out the rough and bumpy skin to make it smooth and shiny.
A body scrub offers special skin care advantages that you don't get from body cleansers and moisturizers. When dead skin cells are removed through the gentle exfoliating, moisturizer can be absorbed better.

Body scrubs are great for cleaning your skin and getting rid of dead cells, dirt and oil. The firm, circular motions you use when you rub the scrub against your body can also improve blood circulation and firm up your skin.
Hurra, lets minimize the unsightly appearance of cellulite!
 

Body scrub benefits:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 
It opens the pores and wakens the skin before a body treatment
Make your skin look more youthful 
Skin glow 
Improve cellulite and aging 
Prepares your skin for an even tan
The oils can relax or stimulate your senses


Treating yourself to a body scrub, especially when combined with a massage can be very relaxing.
Massage your skin with loofah while you are taking shower. Exfoliating removes dead cells from the uppermost layer of skin to reveal the fresher, younger skin underneath. 

Ahhh, memories. I love this picture, we had a great time.

Extra tip: 

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Apply a small amount of scrub to a soft washcloth and scrub gently in a circular motion while slowly moving down the body from shoulders to feet. Applying too much pressure when using a body scrub can cause skin irritation and scratches. Rinse and apply a thin layer of moisturizer. Your skin should look and feel better already.
Do not use your body scrub too often because frequent scrubbing can damage the young skin layer. 

Do not exfoliate a skin with sunburn.

Treat yourself to a nice scrub, feel healthier and happier.

Pumpkin seeds and why they make you look good

If you like snacking and who doesn't ... you will like pumpkin seeds.

I love snacking on pumpkin seeds, they are yummy. 

Sometimes I eat a whole bag in a day.  :-)

Pumpkin seeds are small, a little bit bigger than sunflower seeds. 

Pumpkin seeds contain a long list of anti-ageing ingredients, including zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, vitamin A, B, K, manganese, protein, niacin, thiamine and omega 3 fatty acids. The combined power of which is pretty unbeatable when it comes to slowing down collagen breakdown. 

They are also full of vitamin E - a powerful antioxidant that helps slow down skin aging. Vitamin E is also a great protection against ultraviolet radiation that can cause skin cancer and premature aging. Vitamin E from a natural source like pumpkin seeds is actually easier for your body to absorb.

Pumpkin seeds are an excellent food for improving your skin tone and for treating acne problems. 

And once again, because of those omega-3 fatty acids, they keep your skin smooth and your hair shiny. Pumpkin seeds really are a great choice if you want a healthy and glowing skin. 

Extra benefits:
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
- Pumkin seeds are the most alkaline-forming seed
- Anti-inflammatory effect
- Prevents kidney stones
- Good for heart health
- Having pumpkin as a part of your daily diet can prevent depression
- Great on your skin
- Have anti-inflammatory properties  
- Reduce the appearance of acne 

Why not to give it a try?

Have a cup of pumpkin seeds every day to prevent appearance of wrinkles and to keep your skin hydrated and nourished.

You can buy them at the supermarket or health food store. Small or medium size bags are for sale.

Sometimes, it's the simple things in life which taste the best.

Pumpkin seeds are healthy, but they are also high in fat. However, the fat they contain is mostly the heart-healthy unsaturated kind. 

Make sure not to eat too many, consider using them as a topping for a salad, cornflakes, oatmeal, etc.
