Today we are looking at Life after acrylic nails

Life after acrylic nails is what we are going to be talking about today and what  tips and advice to follow.

No matter how pretty acrylic nails look, it takes a toll on the health and integrity of the nail bed. Many women who wear artificial acryclic nails with hopes to return to natural nails are shocked when their nails appear brittle, splitting, and thin. 

The chemicals involved in any fake nails not  just  acrylic nails, this  unfortunately  can include  nail sculpting powders and gels, can cause damage to the underlying nail. Depending on the extent of artificial wear and the health of the nail prior to having false fingernails applied, damage may vary.

Once the acrylic nails are removed you can then begging to get your nails back to a healthy state;

• Weekly manicures: Weekly manicures, although an additional expense, will help stimulate the circulation of the nail bed, promoting its growth. You can of corse give your self a manicure each week just soak your nails in warm water for 10 min  you could add a manicure solution the water to help with the first steps to  both the nails and the cuticles.
• Cuticle oil: Cuticle oil, such as vitamin E or olive oil, should be massaged into the cuticle area . The essential vitamins found in these natural oils will help promote healthy nail growth.
• Trim nails: As your  nails begin to grow, keep them short. Don’t be in a hurry to let your natural nail gain length; instead, make the overall nail health and thickness  be your goal. A thin, damaged nail that grows quickly hardly stands a chance at surviving for long. Rather than deal with disappointment, understand that your nails need to be kept short while the body rebuilds the damaged tissue
• Apply strengthening products: Many nail care base coats have strengthening and stimulating properties. Find a base coat that will help strengthen the nail bed and apply the product every three days if needed remember there are lots on the market so buy the one that suits your needs the most.
• Ridge fillers: Ridge fillers can work wonders for covering up the unsightly torn and jagged ridges that may remain on the nail bed after artificial nail removal. Apply a ridge filler directly under your nail polish layer as a base layer.
• Avoid colour: Although you can still paint your nails as desired, the less exposure to chemicals the better for your nails as they rebuild their strength. If you must wear nail polish, try alternating one week one, one week off this still gives your nails time to heal.
• Treat any infection: Acrylic nails that become slightly separated from the nail bed can become a breeding ground for fungus and bacteria If your nails have become thick or discolored, or if you experience redness or pain, see your doctor immediately for treatment. Don’t just cover it up as this will just compact the problem.

Have patience it takes time  returning to natural nails after acrylic nails. It  is a process that requires patience and realistic expectations, once you’ve become used to the durability and thickness of your artificial nails, natural nails may not seem as appealing. Keep in mind the long term benefits of natural nails include less maintenance and reduced chemical exposure, the long term result will be worth it.

What do our spots on our face mean

Most of us get them but What do our spots on our face mean

Today we are going to try and answer this question What do our spots on our face mean

Most people suffer with spots at some time in their lives, as teenagers or adults but What do our spots on our face mean.

Forehead spots- Experts believe that your forehead is the area that reveals how well your body is eliminating toxins. It is said that the top part is related to the bladder, the middle is digestion and the lower part, which runs between your eyebrows is related to your liver so you may find that you get spots here just after a night out.

Spots in and around your eyebrows or on your temples relate to the adrenal glands which sit on top of your kidneys and stress can be a cause of these but exercise can help with stress so try that to help keep those spots at bay.

Spots around your mouth- Small spots around your mouth that look red and lumpy could be perioral dermatitis which is quite common, the cause is for this is unknown but it may mean you need to eliminate products you have been using on the face.

Perioral dermatitis is often mistaken for eczema and therefore people try using over the counter eczema creams which just make the spots worse. One of the common symptoms of PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) is acne which affects 1 in 10 women, particularly around the mouth and chin. It is advised that you see your GP if you suspect you maybe suffering from PCOS.

Cheek spots- In Chinese medicine the cheeks are related to the lungs, so if you suffer with regular colds, flu and asthma you may get outbreaks or irregularities in skin tone and texture on your cheeks. Another cause is rosacea which is extremely common in fair-haired people and can look very similar to acne so many people are misdiagnosed.

Drinking alcohol, eating spicy food and caffeine have been associated with rosacea, as they are inflammatory.  If the spots are flaky, it may be seborrheic dermatitis which can look similar but can also occur in the middle of your chest and in your armpits, it is always best to see your GP if you are worried.

Spots on your chin & upper lip area- Spots usually appear on either side of your chin and on your upper lip at different stages in your menstrual cycle, these are linked to your hormones. It has been said that you can possibly tell which ovary (left or right) you are ovulating from according to which side of your chin breaks out.

There are over the counter remedies and specialist skincare treatments that can help with these type of spots, plus certain brands of contraceptive pill can help reduce outbreaks here.

So we hope we have answered the question What do our spots on our face mean.

Lash-Enhancing Serums

Everyone seem to be buying them but  Lash-Enhancing Serums

Today we are gong to be look at Lash-Enhancing Serums

If you have  been awe by a colleague’s remarkably long eyelashes  it might be because she’s using a lash serum but  how good  are Lash-Enhancing Serums

Luscious, lustrous, thick, dark eyelashes are the envy of women all over the world. The longer and thicker your eyelashes, the bigger and brighter your eyes look no mention younger you look. It is  no a surprise that products that promise to enhance or stimulate eyelash growth are flooding the market.  Although you have lots of products from which to choose.  which of course some work, some don’t  most are expensive.

But what is in the magic  serum, well  some of the ingredients are similar to ones used in glaucoma drugs. In fact one of the side effect to glaucoma medicine is long lashes, ( we wouldn’t call that a side effect lol).But are these products safe to be used on non glaucoma stuffers?

One of the companies that makes lash serums did a study to see if there was any negative side effects. After the study although they some saw some  dramatic results  there were no problems, there is however a very small risk from these Lash serums that is could cause  a darkening of light irises, though so far this side effect has been observed only in patients using glaucoma drugs (drops placed directly in the eye). A slight change in pigmentation of the skin along the lashline is also a possibility. but otherwise they seem to get the all clear.

Just a quick note to finish with,you will only notice eyelash growth after two to four months of daily  use with lash serums. Some claim to be quicker but you need to remember that it takes up to 8 weeks for your lashes to replenish  them selves, and if stop using the serum your lashes will return to their prior appearance in four to six week. Nothing that we  artificaly add to the body will change it permanently unless its surgery.

So there you go yes lots of Lash-Enhancing Serums work and they seem safe

What wrinkles mean

We are now looking into What wrinkles mean

So today we move onto What wrinkles mean

Yesterday we looked at how wrinkles form and now today we move onto What wrinkles mean.

As we get older and get wrinkles we generally want to avoid them as much as possible.  Cutting down on alcohol, protecting ourselves in the sun and not smoking will help keep wrinkles away.

These things are helpful to avoid wrinkles but have you ever thought that your wrinkles may be saying something about your health.

Research has discovered that facial wrinkles are connected to the aging of our brain.  Studies have shown the more wrinkle that we have the more impact it has on the aging of our brain.  Further research has found that looking at the state of our skin can tell alot about the health of our brain.  The rate our brain ages depends on external factors and genetics.  Hormones play an important role in keeping our brain and skin healthy, having a deficiency in certain hormones can be linked to varies forms of cognitive impairment and dementia.

By not using sunscreen we disturb our immune system which triggers inflammation which damages the skin and ages the brain, remember that the skin and brain cells come from the same embryonic tissue which is why they age at the same rate.  However physical and mental exercises can be used to keep our brain and skin healthy.  It is advised that you should try to avoid toxins, stress and alcohol, this will slow the effect of aging not just our skin but our brains as well.

We will be looking at more health issues connected to What wrinkles mean  in future blogs.
