The 6 Key Steps To Anti Ageing

By: Azra Butt - Hawkins Clinic, Wimbledon Beauty Salon

The process of ageing is inevitable. However there are steps one can take to slow this process down and retain that youthful look for longer. Slowing down the ageing process is as much about lifestyle and behaviour as it is about the use of products and treatments.

Listed below are the leading factors that cause premature aging and how these can be avoided or counteracted.
Smoking - Research has shown that smoking is one of the leading causes of premature ageing. The CMO recently advised the government of the United Kingdom that prolonged smoking can prematurely age skin by 10 – 20 years. Smoking hastens the onset of skin ageing by: reducing capillary blood flow to the skin, thereby denying the skin of oxygen and essential nutrients. In addition, smoking increases the production of an enzyme that reduces the production of collagen to the skin. Smoking also reduces levels of vitamin A & C, both highly important to maintaining and protecting skin. Cutting back or quitting smoking will produce huge results in the health of the skin.

Excessive exposure to sun - Exposure to sun, in particular the UVB and UVA component of sunlight are leading causes of ageing. UVA and UVB cause damage to the skin by breaking down the elastin and collogen as well as causing damage to the DNA and other cellular mechanisms within the skin. This damage can easily be greatly reduced by the year round use of sun screens, using a weaker SPF in winter and a higher one in the summer.

Alcohol - Excessive alcohol consumption ages skin by causing damage to the capillaries under the skin causing them to dilate and rupture. This causes the appearance of red flushed skin and also causes the skin to age faster by damaging the blood supply to the skin. These affects can easily be avoided by reducing you weekly alcohol intake.

Stress - It has been proven that high levels of stress are linked to aging and ill health. In response to stress the body produces the hormone cortisol. One of the affects of cortisol is to induce cologne loss in tissue. It has been shown that the collagen loss in skin is ten times greater than in any other tissue. Eliminating stress is an impossible task, but if you can reduce stress and find better ways to cope with daily stresses, the years should stay off.

Atmosphere/wind – Wind, hot & cold dry air, pollutants can all cause the skin to become dry and damaged. This can easily be counteracted by the use of moisturiser.

Lack of sleep: Too little sleep makes you look and feel tired. One of the first places lack up sleep shows up is on the face, with dark circles and bags under the eyes, and sagging skin. Lack of sleep is also a major factor in memory loss and symptoms of depression that include low interest in daily activities and negative thinking. Research has shown that most adults function best with 8-9 hours of sleep each night. Reduce caffeine during the day (with none in the evening), avoid eating at least 2 hours before bedtime, and maintain a sleep routine that includes going to bed at the same time each night.

Popular Beauty Treatments

By: Daniel Blinman

There are different types of beauty treatments that are available for people of both sexes. Some of the beauty treatments that were considered as a luxury a few years back like the manicure and pedicure, have become a virtual necessary to young girls of this generation. A manicure is concerned with maintaining the hands and the finger nails. A pedicure is a treatment that focuses mainly on the feet and its surrounding areas.

These days, both men and women of different age groups go to the beauty clinic in their local area at least once a week. As a part of this visit, they will undergo a facial treatment that will completely transform the look of their face. Facials have become increasingly popular over the last 10 years. In this treatment, the customer gets their face scrubbed or cleaned. In scrubbing, a cream is applied over the face and is allowed to remain on the face for some time. After the cream has dried on the face, plain water or rose water is used to completely scrub the dried cream. This will give a fresh look to the customers. Other than scrubbing creams, there are other facial creams such as herbal creams which are applied on the face and then washed away.
Men give more priority to their receding hair line. Some men, who have become partially bald, opt for hair replacement procedures or therapies. In this treatment a new set of hair follicles are inserted in the areas where the baldness is present. Over a period of time these active follicles grow new hair. In terms of complete baldness, hair weaving methodology is also employed to implant new hair directly on the bald area.

Another popular beauty treatment that has become popular among slightly older people is the Botox treatment. This treatment is taken to get rid of the wrinkles that appear near the lips and also in the fore head. By getting rid of these wrinkles, people in the age group of 60 to 70 years get a complete makeover. They lose all their wrinkles, sagging neck and look younger. In this treatment, Botox is injected directly in to the area where the wrinkles are present.

Medical spas have also grown by leaps and bounds over the last 5 years. In addition to treatment like Botox, these spas also provide body rejuvenating massages such as Ayurvedic massages. As a part of this treatment, heated herbal oil is applied over the parts of the body which has been stressed. The herbal oil, containing a mixture of mountain herbs, relieves the stresses and makes the skin more supple.

Simple And Effective Home Beauty Treatments At Home

By: Daniel Blinman


Women in their 30's sometimes find that the glow they basked in during their 20's is considerably reduced. This could be due to a number of reasons like a sedentary lifestyle, lack of exercise, harmful effects of the sun and pollution and the natural ageing process. While there is precious little you can do to fight the ageing process itself, you can bring the healthy glow back onto your skin with simple, organic and natural beauty treatments. All you need is a little time and effort with a lot of patience and persistence.
The best beauty treatment for glowing skin is to raid your kitchen for surprisingly inexpensive products that give you amazing results which are sure to beat out the best and most expensive products available in stores. Fruits, vegetables and leafy greens can be manipulated into myriad scrubs, moisturizers and toners with various permutations and combinations. Here are a couple of the best tips to make your skin and you, looking younger, brighter and healthier.

To get rid of blemishes, scars and uneven skin tone: Grate one medium sized fresh cucumber along with an aloe vera leaf. If you cannot get hold of aloe vera, the cucumber works just fine on its own. Cleanse your face with face wash and pat it dry. Apply the grated cucumber as a face pack and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Wash off with cold water. You need to apply it at least thrice a week for maximum results. The cucumber acts as a toner and moisturizer in one, hydrating your skin and working to clear off those blemishes and brightening and evening out your skin tone. The result is that you look brighter and fresher in no time.
Hair loss is an embarrassing problem for women. Fortunately, we can stop hair loss by applying a mixture of hot herbal oil and kohl onto the scalp and leaving it on overnight. Wash it off in the morning, if possible, with a paste made out of fenugreek seeds. You could alternately wash it off with a mild shampoo. Strengthen your hair by applying egg whites and washing it off after 10 minutes. You need to apply the hot oil and kohl each time you wash your hair, and the egg white application at least once a week.
Supplementing this beauty routine with an increased intake of green leafy vegetables like spinach, lettuce, curry leaves and cilantro will work like magic to stop hair loss. Any beauty treatment will only work if it is done consistently. Stick with these beauty treatments for at least a month to get guaranteed results.

Permanent Cosmetics - Look Great While Saving Time And Money

By: aaucoin


The money you would save over a lifetime by having permanent cosmetics applied to your eyelids, eyebrows and lips is worth it when comparing it to what you spend yearly on eyeliner and lipsticks alone. There are more reasons than just the cost-savings to have the makeup applied. Some people have difficulty applying makeup because of an illness or other reasons.

Makeup is costly. It has always been looked at as one of those necessary luxuries. To get the really high-end makeup that looks and feels the best, a person needs to spend on the low-end between ten and twenty dollars, and prices only grow from there. There is no end to the amount of money you can spend buying cosmetic products. Hundreds or thousands of dollars is not out of the ordinary.
Then, you run the risk of purchasing a product that you don't like or that your face doesn't react well to. It can be so frustrating to spend hard earned money on a product that just collects dust in the bottom of your makeup bin. That is why many women choose to save up their money for permanent cosmetics with the idea that they no longer will have to torture their face or wallet. Their makeup becomes an all-natural part of their face.

Some women or men never have the chance to get really good at applying certain cosmetic products. It is an art and a practice to excel at doing your own makeup and most people just don't have the drive or the patience to follow through. Either they grew-up in a household without a mother or sibling who wore makeup, or they just can't figure out the logistics. Worse yet, some people have become incapacitated from an illness or accident, making application impossible. For these people, permanent cosmetics are a helpful, life-changing solution.

For most people, though, the reason behind permanent cosmetics is to just get rid of the hassle. Having to get up every morning and apply a full face of makeup can be trying. The habit of the daily darkening of eyebrows, adding a line below and above the eye, lining the lips and filling in the color can get so disheartening. It is nice to imagine a day when you don't have to go through the whole process. Yet, being caught without your makeup on is a horrifying thought.

Make an appointment with a licensed aesthetician or an expert in the field to discuss your options. You may be surprised to see what is available and what options you have. They can talk you through the process and explain whatever concerns you may have. Usually, you will leave a consultation appointment with an estimate on how much it may cost to do the procedures you are interested in.

Permanent cosmetics provide a valuable solution for people interested in breaking out of the cycle of spending money to put on makeup.
