    Stay out of the midday sun as much as possible. the sun will age you. Do not tan or go to tanning beds whatever you do. Do not use a cleaner that will dry your skin, use a cleaner that moisturizes like Burt's Bees. Get an exfoliate. I sometimes scrub my face with a sea sponge. This will reduce fine lines and scrape away dead skin leaving your face looking naturally glowy.

    Cold, used tea bags (regular tea or green tea are best). Boil the kettle, stew the tea bag. Then run it under the cold tap and place it over your eyes for 10 minutes. The chemical tannin and the antioxidants in tea quickly replenish skin and make it look brighter.

    soy protein is great for the skin. Creative ways to use edamame for skin health are easy to think of, if you have edamame and a blender. Go for it, and use natural and inexpensive skin treatments

    Your skin is amazing. It protects your body against injury and infections, helps maintain your body temperature, prevents dehydration and even acts as a storehouse for nutrients and water.Beautiful skin reflects our overall health and general well-being--and rightly so. The skin is the largest organ of the human body, renewing some of its cells every 24 hours.Proper skin care should start at an early age.

    To exfoliate dead skin cells rub a cut lemon dipped into a half-teaspoon of sugar over your face for a few minutes, or create a mild mixture by using lemon juice, sugar and a small amount of water. Do this every night to help remove accumulated dead skin cells and refresh your skin.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
