Skin Peel or Face Peel ?


I think it's because of the face wash  my cheeks and around the mouth I really had dry skin. 


I have peeled at it a bit there is a red mark that looks like a new scar. I really have no idea if that's what it is because i don't remember scars burning if rubbing alcohol gets on it. 

Anyways, mainly it's got a bunch of dry peeling skin around my mouth and it's almost impossible to peel. The only thing moisturizer does is cover up the fact that it is peeling, but not for a long time at all. 

  
         what helped me out was washing my face with olive oil.. it works fantastically. Still I was unhappy and totally  confused badly need an  experts who can treat my skin.

One of my friend  advised to visit the clinic where   chemical peel is a treatment  technique used to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin using a chemical solution that causes the dead skin to slough off and eventually peel off. The regenerated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin.


While I  was talking to the dermatologist  i was so happy reason..There aren't many people who look forward to the concept of growing older.That's why we are aghast upon seeing ourselves in the mirror,with saggy skin and wrinkles.We always feel and wish to have soft supple and sewy skin.

This is the reason why there is a boom in the antiaging skincare industry. Young and young heart alike,there is a mad dash for products that promise the fountain of youth.


Facial peels, or skin peels, are one of the options
 available. These are generally quite effective, unfortunately they do have disadvantages and I'd like to briefly list the advantages versus the disadvantages to taking the facial peel route to anti aging skin care.

A full-face deep chemical peel takes 1 to 2 hours to perform. A more limited procedure (such as treatment of wrinkling above the lip) will generally take less than a half-hour. 

 There is a slight burning sensation, After the peel solution has worked on the skin, it is neutralized with water. Approximately one hour later, a thick coating of petroleum jelly is layered over the face,This stays in place for 1 to 2 days. In an covered by a "mask.

  A few days after some patients experience discomfort after a deep chemical peel, but this can be controlled with ter the procedure, new skin with a bright pink color akin to sunburn will emerge; the pinkness will fade within a few days. Post-operative puffiness will also subside in a few days, but the skin will remain sensitive. Patients should avoid exposure to sunlight and continue to use sun block.


Advantages of using Facial Peels:
 The effects of these peels are discernible almost immediately after.
  Facial peels  work to lessen  superficial blemishes make the skin smooth out fine surface wrinkles  and fade age spots and other skin discoloration,correct skin pigmentation problems
Disadvantages of using Facial Peels:
 Procedures like these are usually quite costly, and have to be administered at a spa and dermatologist.

Just the word "peel" can give us a clue as to what exactly will be done to your skin ,it does tend to feel as painful as it sounds.:)

My favorite ayurvedic beauty secret

Who doesn't want to look young and vibrant........? 

The earliest signs of aging are typically in your skin. One of the easiest ways to shed 10 years from your appearance is by improving the quality of your skin. Ayurveda offers some of the most powerful tools for creating radiant skin and reversing the common signs of aging.

Ayurveda is the traditional medical system of India and the oldest surviving healing system in the world “Ayu” means life and “veda” means knowledge, so ayurveda is the science of life.: 

I want to share four of my favorite ayurvedic beauty secrets that I employ on a regular basis. They are simple, effective and inexpensive.

A sandalwood face mask will give your face an instant lift, the natural way. Sandalwood detoxifies the skin by removing impurities directly as it dries on the skin. It also removes toxins by increasing circulation in the skin, leaving it glowing and feeling tighter. Sandalwood also has an alluring fragrance.

To make your own sandalwood face mask
use about 5 teaspoons of sandalwood powder and slowly mix in water until you have a thick paste. If you have a tendency toward acne or rashes, add 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric powder. If you tend to have dry skin, you can add some castor or almond oil to the paste. You can apply the mask for 1 hour on a weekly basis for regular skin care, or leave it on overnight every few months for a deep skin cleaning.

This daily oil massage provides several benefits by reducing stress and removing the accumulation of toxins (digestive and environmental) from your skin. The accumulation of toxins causes premature aging. Doing this simple massage on a daily basis or a few times a week will markedly improve the texture and elasticity of your skin. 

For the majority of people  the best oil to use is organic,  sesame oil. But if you tend to produce a lot of body heat, get rashes easily or are susceptible to inflammatory conditions, then organic coconut oil is a better choice.

The massage can take anywhere between 5 minutes and 30 minutes depending on the time you have available.

 Place a quarter-cup of oil in a small plastic bottle. Heat up the oil by running it under hot water in the sink.

 Once the oil is warm, begin massaging your scalp and face.

 Afterwards, move to the arms – use long strokes on your long bones and circular strokes over your joints.

 Massage the chest and abdomen. Use clockwise, circular motions over the abdomen and heart.

 Next, reach around and rub oil up and down your back. 

Then, massage your hips and legs using the same long strokes on your long bones and circular strokes over your joints. Finally, massage your feet. Your feet and scalp are the two most important areas to massage to help reduce stress, so spend a little extra time on both of these areas.


Nasya is the administration of oil through the nostril. Nasya removes the toxins from the head resulting in more clarity of the mind, reduced stress, and prevention of wrinkles in the face. It is regularly used in ayurveda to treat stress, headaches, anxiety, sleep disorders, sinusitis, colds, allergies and depression. It has gained popularity in America for its wrinkle-fighting abilities.

The two most common oils used for nasya are sesame oil and ghee (clarified butter). Apply a small amount in the nostrils and then breathe in while intermittently pinching the nose so that the oil goes up into the nasal passages. The ideal times for doing nasya are first thing in the morning and a few hours before bedtime.

Youthful Skin 
 Premature aging of the skin can be caused by the accumulation of toxins in the body, which ultimately deposit in the skin. This is a result of undigested food that accumulates in the stomach overnight due to poor digestion or excessive stress. The key to maintaining a youthful complexion is  this is a result of undigested food that accumulates in the stomach overnight due to poor digestion or excessive stress.the key to maintaining a youthful complexion and to improve digestive  system.

The recipe is below
Boil 4-5 cups of water in the morning. Add the following ingredients to the water and continue to let it boil for about 5 minutes longer with the lid on.

·         ½ teaspoon of whole cumin seeds
·         ½ teaspoon of whole coriander seeds
·         ½ teaspoon of whole fennel seeds

Strain out the seeds and pour the tea into a thermos. Drink small sips of the tea throughout the day. If the tea is too strong, reduce the amount of seeds to a quarter teaspoon for two weeks and then increase it back to a half teaspoon.

Follow these four ayurvedic beauty secrets for at least three months and you will see signs of younger, radiant skin.

Please remember - Food  acts like medicine which helps you to keep your body young, healthy and fit.

Harmless Habits That Age You

Putting'a stop to these daily don'ts could help you look and feel younger. Sure, we know that eating a poor diet and not exercising, age us by more than decade. 

Many prepared foods contain hefty amounts of sugar,but it's hidden including barley,malt,syrup ,fruit juice concentrate. Dining on veggies a couple of days a week or month and skipping them.


 Your friends keep you young- as simple as that take advantage of Facebook on a more frequent basis- even clicking through pal's photos can help you keep closed can protect against depression,and heart disease among other health problems.

 Now you spend most of your spare time shutting yourself 

but here's why making time to cultivate your friendships is 

so key,one study found that 

satisfying and friendship predict longevity. 

 

 But what about those habits that age you - like rubbing your eyes.Tired all the time?As even think about we mature the skin thins, and this is very noticeable around the eyes, which makes dark circles worse and increases wrinkling while rubbing! be careful....


 Sleeping on your side or stomach, it may be more comfortable  for me and you than sleeping on but  feel,It may be more comfortable than sleeping on your back, but having your face pressed against the pillow for seven to nine hours a night can speed up the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.


 If you can’t sleep on your back, using a softer pillow, which lessens the pressure applied to your face.

 Eight glasses a day does more than just keep the body hydrated – it keeps us looking young by fending off dehydration.

 Gain  your weight  and all back in the fall , If this cycle seems familiar to you, then you may need to rethink those weight-loss methods.
 Gaining and losing weight repeatedly stretches the skin, causing elastic fibers in the skin to break down, which leads to excess sagging.  You might think sneaking your hand into the cookie jar or indulging in desert every right doesn't do much harm,but sugar is a top culprit when it comes to putting the ageing process into high gear for wrinkles. 

 

 Over doing your anti-aging beauty routine.Every night you diligently apply your moisturizers and retinols to plump up the skin and combat fine lines and wrinkles. However, your anti-aging regimen could be doing more harm than good. , which makes signs of aging more .


You are stressed more often-You don't feel good when you are stressed-out-be it from work projects,pilling up a miserable commute,issues with the kids etc.over time stress that doesn't go away can delay talk about your feeling is the best medicine try to Exhale strongly through the mouth making a sound.Breath  in quietly through the nose,repeat the cycle for 7-10 times,repeat the cycle for 3 times more.


You blast your ipod nothing makes you feel 80 years old like having to cup  your ear and say  Excuse me? to get your friend to repeat herself again..and again hearing loss typically develops slowly,wear earplugs when you are around other loud noises.

Putting a stop to these daily don'ts could help you look and feel younger.

The Immortals of Meluha


The Immortals Of Meluha for the big screen..

  According to modern historians Land of Meluha starts with the arrival of the Tibetan tribal Shiva." The Immortals of Meluha"  positions land of Meluha and how the inhibitions saved from wars by a named Shiva. 

 The Meluhan belief that Shiva is their fabled savior Neelkanth,  is confirmed when he consumes the  somras, a legendary healing potion  which turns his throat blue...

 I kept away from the book I do not read Mythology in a language other than kannada. I was totally misled by the cover picture.

When I heard this story line in the making of the film is an adoption of this book,I order this book online along with its successor,"The Secret Of Nagas" This book is about what if Lord Shiva was not a figment of rich imagination but a person of flesh and blood a man who raised to become Godlike because of his Karma the plot is gripping and kept me intrigued and engaged.I  throughly enjoyed the book.  

 The novel revolves around the protagonist Shiva, who is a Tibetan immigrant to the land of Meluha, a perfect ancient India as Amish has described, how he pursues Sati (Parvati) with all his deepest love, and how his karma recasts him as our, God of Gods.

Whole thing is that it is intricately connected and it builds up towards the bigger picture. The author has done a commendable job in weaving mythological facts with fiction and has created a fantastic story.Lord Shiva is my favorite God right from my childhood .

 I always portrayed  Lord Shiva as the cool dude, Shiva rocks the imagination is obvious in the immortals of Meluha,  Shiva's journey from cool dude to Mahadev.

My favourite  actor Hrithik Roshan in the lead as he would be perfect Shiva. The role needs someone who not only looks dynamic, but at the same time a terrific actor.

It is very interesting to see Hrithik play God on screen:)

My First Grandchild..


Did I say I became a grandparent for the first time on May 28th, 2011.There is nothing more exciting than having a  new grand baby,If its  your first grand child you will be very excited,nervous as you welcome the new arrival.

The birth of  a grand child is the greatest moments a family can share.When your first grandchild is born, grand parents come up with lot of dreams.

 Many grandparents want to make up for mistakes they may have felt like they made raising their own child.The relationship between a parent and child, and a grandparent and child are totally different. However, it is important to keep in mind that no matter what – GRAND PARENTS will always be a very important part of your grandchild’s life and future.


My first grandchild will always be a reminder to me of the fragility of life and how we must do everything we can to nurture him.. I am forming my role of a grandmother in my mind on a daily basis and demanding.

The first grandchild is often one of those monumental moments in life when you rearrange and reconfigure everything you thought you knew about life. For many years now, you have believed you would never be able to love anyone as much as you love your own child/children. That too is about to become a myth.
 When your see your first grandchild for the first time, recognizing your own child, you will feel like you have been given a second opportunity at life and love.
Often, grandparents are so excited about this big event in their lives that they forget this child has parents who are excited as well. Likely, your own child and their spouse will work hard to assert themselves and define their own role of parenting.
No doubt you want to spoil your first grandchild. Perhaps you are in a situation in your life where you have plenty of time and resources to give, give and give...

 When you were raising your own children, you knew that spoiling them would only make your life harder. Yet now – you can do anything you wish with your own grandchild.

As for spoiling – you have every right to do so. Rather than be the kind of grandparent that is always giving things of monetary value, try to spoil with your time, love, abundant knowledge and nurturing spirit.
 You have a different angle on life now that you have raised your own children and can see the perfect areas where grandparents can make a huge difference.


Grand parents can sit on the floor and read books or play blocks for hours on end and they can rock the baby to sleep and still sit for another hour holding your sleeping baby. Your first grandchild will grow up knowing that grandma and grandpa are there for extra love and always have the time and attention the child may need.
Mama

 when you first gaze into the eyes of a newborn grandchild,  remember that the magic of bonding begins right at that moment and that it can truly be the start of a lifelong relationship
