Healthy Skin: Lock Up Your Moisture

Ways to keep your skin hydrated

 

Water Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Water helps to hydrate the skin and remove toxins from the system. I drink more than 7 litres of water daily :)

Vitamin A Consume plenty of Vitamin A! Vitamin A helps to prevent your skin from becoming dry and scaly. It is also essential in the cell renewal process and promotes growth of new skin. Vegetables such as spinach and broccoli are rich in Vitamin A.

Vitamin E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin that is well-known for its high antioxidant potentials. Vitamin E can be found in many types of food. Olives, nuts and vegetable oils such as corn oil, peanut oil and sunflower oil are wonderful sources of Vitamin E. One of nature’s best sources is from the tiny wheat germ. To ensure a healthy dose of Vitamin E in your diet, include loads of leafy vegetables and fish. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, Vitamin E also benefits the skin most as a skin conditioner, soothing rough and dry skin and protecting our skin cells through its antioxidant properties.

Do not smoke or drink Cigarettes and alcohol dehydrate the skin.

Moisturize Dry skin can cause wrinkles to form. Use gentle cleansers and always apply moisturizer after cleansing your face. Select a suitable moisturizer that not only hydrates your skin but also prevent signs of ageing.

Sleep Lack of sleep can dry up your skin. Get at least 8 hours of sleep daily to keep your skin healthy.

Sunscreen Always apply a good sunscreen!

Healthy Skin: Dry Skin?

with 2 comments

Our skin is exposed to damaging environmental stresses, pollutants and free radicals on a daily basis which cause dehydration and pre-mature skin ageing. Skin becomes dry and uncomfortable with a sense of tightness.

 

What is your current skin condition?

 

Two or more ticks to the above symptoms describe your current skin condition?

 

Fret not! I’ll be updating on ways to keep your skin hydrated this coming Friday :)

If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day.

If you teach him how to fish, you feed him for a lifetime.

Healthy Skin: Radiance

with 6 comments

Feel that your skin is lackluster and short of its usual glow? Overworked, extra hours, air conditioning and stress? Vitamin C is a fantastic natural antioxidant known for its ability to kick-start your skin’s dull, lacklustre engine. It helps to protect your skin against environmental aggression and is definitely needed for a healthy body. As an ingredient, Vitamin C is also able to neutralize free radicals that attack your skin cells which cause harm.

 

 

Five Benefits of using Vitamin C

Antioxidant Protection Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect against free radical damage caused by sun, pollution and cigarette smoke which damage the structure and appearance of the skin.

Enhance Radiance Vitamin C helps to refresh the skin and promotes skin radiance and smoothness.

Evens Skin Tone Vitamin C evens out skin tone and appearance.

Boost Collagen Production Vitamin C encourages the production of collagen in the skin which gives skin its smooth, firm and healthy looking appearance.

Improves Skin Elasticity Overexposure to the sun causes long term damage to the skin, resulting in a loss of elasticity and wrinkling. Vitamin C is crucial to the synthesis of various components necessary for the assembly of elastic fibres. Vitamin C helps build and maintain the skin’s structure, helping it to protect itself from within.

With Vitamin C, smooth, firm and healthy glowing skin will be the permanent change you’re seeking to find in your life giving that extra radiant boost you need for your skin :)

Knowing what your skin type is and what to apply on is important ~ Skin Care Regime.

What’s also equally important is what you put into it. In life, compromises are an easy way out but it should not be the case for your skin. There’s no doubting that the skin is the largest organ of the human body. Its main function is to protect our organs and also the first to show our health level and the effects of the environment and the sun. You need to know how to have a good nutritional defense plan to nourish your skin from the inside. Everybody needs a little nudge sometimes. Even your skin!

I will be introducing some nutritional tips to keep your skin healthy over the next couple of weeks :)

2010

I hope everyone had a very happy holiday season!

Time flew past. Just. Like. That.

2009 came and left. Job dissatisfaction. Monetary issues. 2473864764357 Accidents. It hasn’t really been a fabulous year for me except for one :)

My birthday which falls on 1st January 2010 wasn’t fantastic either. I missed the yearly fireworks on display, spent the night home alone counting down and most importantly, waiting for a particular message from a special someone.

I really hope that things will change for the better in 2010.

I first broke the news of my victory at the finals of a food variety competition on Twitter (have you followed me on Twitter? http://twitter.com/CherieLee01) Well, at the very least, I won :) a gold medal, prizes and a title. Filming has been tiring but I love it. Is this my calling?

*Thank you for the beautiful princess cake lovely sis :)

**Thank you everyone for the lovely birthday emails, messages and calls :)

People are like teabags. You have to put them in hot water before you can know how strong they are.

Love is made by two people

with 8 comments

Quality time is more than mere proximity. It’s about focusing all your energy on your mate. Guys watching sports while talking to his mate is not quality time. Unless all of your attention is focused on your mate, even an intimate dinner for two can come and go without a minute of quality time being shared.

Quality conversation is very important in a healthy relationship. It involves sharing experiences, thoughts, feelings and desires in a friendly, uninterrupted context. A good mate will not only listen, but offer advice and respond to assure their mate they are truly listening. Many mates don’t expect you to solve their problems. They need a sympathetic listener.

An important aspect of quality conversation is self-revelation. In order for you to communicate with your mate, you must also be in tune with your inner emotions. It is only when you understand your emotions and inner feelings will you then be able to share quality conversation, and quality time with your mate.

Quality activities are a very important part of quality time. Many mates feel most loved when they spend physical time together, doing activities that they love to do. Spending time together will bring a couple closer, and, in the years to come, will fill up a memory bank that you can reminisce about in the future. Quality time is a love language that is shared by many.

Setting aside focused time with your mate will ensure a happy relationship. Listening leads to understanding.

Love is made by two people, in different kinds of solitude. It can be in a crowd, but in an oblivious crowd. We are all bound by strong emotion, clinging to history, the past and shared culture. Sometimes, a third party will not be able to truly understand what has happened in the relationship. This is also the reason why they can never understand how can a love so strong, can go wrong.
