    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Dead Sea may sound rather ominous to many.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ The Dead Sea has been a source of healthy and beneficial salts and minerals for the skin for thousands of years. Now, there are large numbers of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+sea+products" rel="tag">Dead Sea products</a> for your face and body that you can avail of. Not many people are aware of the wonders of Dead Sea products and their benefits, but beauty consultant Miri Khutoretsky, with her wide knowledge and experience in cosmetics and dermatology, advises the use of these products because of their genuine and fast-acting effects on the skin. <br /><br /> Dead Sea products are made with the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/base+ingredient" rel="tag">base ingredient</a> being the minerals and salt taken from the Dead Sea itself. The Dead Sea contains 21 different minerals including calcium, potassium, and magnesium at high <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/concentration+levels" rel="tag">concentration levels</a>, which means that its minerals are more concentrated than normal seawater, making the water extremely effective and beneficial for our skin, which is known to harmoniously connect with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+minerals" rel="tag">natural minerals</a>. There is a wide range of Dead Sea products, all geared towards taking care of your skin, but made for different purposes. There are Dead Sea scrubs, masks, creams, and cleansers for the face, as well as Dead Sea foot scrubs and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/body+scrubs" rel="tag">body scrubs</a>. There are also special Dead Sea <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bath+soaps" rel="tag">bath soaps</a>, salts, and muds. All these products can work in three major ways: cleansing, renewal, and protection. <br /><br /> First, Dead Sea products contain concentrated minerals from the Dead Sea that can cleanse and exfoliate your skin, thus removing the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> to make your skin as clean as it possible can be. Dead Sea products do not only cleanse the surface of your skin. The exfoliating power of Dead Sea products is very strong and effective in that the minerals it contains absorbs into the skin and pushes toxins from under the surface of your skin out, cleansing not just the outside, but your very skin. This makes Dead Sea facial products such as face creams and cleansers extremely effective for thorough removal of makeup because the Dead Sea products will make sure that no trace of makeup will be left behind, ensuring that your skin is not overly exposed to oils that can irritate the skin. Thus, you can be sure that your skin is really clean and healthy, and does not just look like so. <br /><br /> Second, Dead Sea products maintain the softness and smoothness of your skin by continually removing dead skin cells and helping in the renewal process and regrowth of your skin cells through its healthy minerals. Regular use of Dead Sea products will not only cleanse your skin, but also make it softer and smoother with every use. For skin that not only looks clean, but also feels clean, and for long-lasting effects, Dead Sea products will certainly perform magic on your skin. <br /><br /> Last but not the least, Dead Sea products also protects the skin, aside from cleansing and improving it. The waters of the Dead Sea are known to have healing and therapeutic effects that a lot of people travel all the way up there to receive thorough skin treatment because of its well-known effects against eczema and psoriasis, two severe skin diseases. Naturally, if it can heal such diseases, it can also protect your innocent skin from harsh irritation and diseases. <br /><br /> With all these benefits to your skin, Dead Sea products for your face and body are ideal caretakers of your skin. The therapeutic effects of these products are also added bonus. So if you are looking for an intensive care treatment for your skin, go for Dead Sea skincare products.   <bio>learn more, feel better, visit <a href="http://www.womandeal.com" >http://www.womandeal.com</a> Miri khutoretsky, Beauty consultant  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Dead Sea has been praised for its positive skin care effects since the time of Nefertiti. The minerals that are found within the Dead Sea are can be found in numerous skin care products, but some of these products are mixed with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/harsh+chemicals" rel="tag">harsh chemicals</a> that have a negative impact upon skin.<br><br>The Beauty of Life product line has been specially formulated to harness all of those <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/ancient+skin" rel="tag">ancient skin</a> care properties that the Dead Sea has to offer. Through innovation, technology, and research, these products are the closest thing that you can get to bathing in the sea itself.<br><br>Why is the Dead Sea so special? The Dead Sea has been the place of many miracles and feats throughout history. Situated within the Middle East, the Dead Sea is unlike any other body of water on earth. Throughout the centuries, this body of water was slowly carved from mountain springs creating a bed of water that sits 400 meters below sea level.<br><br>Inside of this water are numerous minerals that have been used for centuries. The mud from the sea bed includes many properties that have been proven to have a positive effect upon skin almost immediately. In addition to the mud from the Dead Sea, the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/salt+from+the+sea" rel="tag">salt from the sea</a> is both nutritious and full of helpful skin care properties.<br><br>The Beauty of Life <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+line" rel="tag">skin care line</a> includes mud taken directly from the Dead Sea itself. This mud contains magnesium, sodium, potassium, and various other minerals that are perfect for human skin. Since the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/natural+aging+process" rel="tag">natural aging process</a> strips <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/vital+nutrients" rel="tag">vital nutrients</a> from our bodies, replenishing our bodies with the same minerals just makes sense.<br><br>While the body is amazing on its own, it does not have the ability to produce certain things such as minerals or collagen. This is why we must give our bodies those things that it cannot produce. By helping our bodies with great skin care products, we are throwing it a lifeline...so to speak.<br><br>If you were to trace the many great women throughout time that looked to the Dead Sea as a source for excellent skin care, you would find that many of these women were also the most youthful within the land. There is a reason why thousands of visitors flock to the Dead Sea every year...the minerals found within this sea simply work.<br><br>Slathering your body with mud from the Dead Sea will produce instant results. As your skin begins to tingle while the mud seeps into your body, you will then begin to see why Cleopatra herself relied upon the Dead Sea as her one beauty source.<br><br>Not only is the mud from the Dead Sea an excellent way to start your lifelong skin care routine, it is also a fantastic way to heal your body from the outside in. Applying mud to your body might seem slightly silly, but it is the best way to absorb all of those helpful minerals.<br><br>There are lots of Dead Sea skin care products out there, but only some of them come from the sea itself. Why use products that are made from chemicals when you can use skin care products that are entirely pure and natural? The Dead Sea mud worked for Cleopatra and Nefertiti -- it will work for you too.<bio>Jerzy George (<a href="http://www.collagenelife.com">www.collagenelife.com</a>) with over twenty years of experience in the beauty and antiaging industry is offering information and products oriented on the market's needs and which have the set of concurrent advantages, favourably separating them from the products of competitors.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What does mud have to do with skin care? Believe it or not, mud may have some very interesting anti-aging, cleansing, rejuvenating, and exfoliating properties.<br><br>Lately, there has been a lot of talk about mud. So many new <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+products" rel="tag">skin care products</a> are claiming to contain mud from the Dead Sea. In fact, mud from the Dead Sea seems to be the newest skin care craze. Generally, skin care trends fizzle and fade after a number of years, but this one trend may actually hold some very (muddy) water.<br><br>Ancient tales tell of Cleopatra's own <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+regimen" rel="tag">skin care regimen</a>. Legend has it that Cleopatra used to bathe in the mud that could be found within the Dead Sea. Now, if Cleopatra were not beautiful, none of this would matter.

Dead Sea mud contains a high concentration of salts and minerals. These salts and minerals are the precise things that the skin needs to live and breathe.<br><br>Therefore, all of this hype about (http://www.collagenelife.com/Beauty_of_Life.html) Dead Sea mud may actually be true. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+routines" rel="tag">Skin care routines</a> require careful investigation and consideration, which is why this ancient anti-aging, healthy and beauty, rejuvenating recipe for skin care success is so popular today.<br><br>Not only is mud good for your skin, it's actually the preferred choice of many great historical beauties. Slathering your skin in mud will produce instant effects that no other skin care product in the world can produce.

Exfoliating with mud every day is the best recipe that the skin care world knows for beauty success. All of the anti-aging products in the world can't compete with the one product that comes from nature itself: mud.<br><br>If you happen to be one of the many that is sceptical when it comes to mud, consider the details listed above.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oily+skin" rel="tag">Oily skin</a> can be really tricky to take care of because one wrong move can spell disaster for the skin. One must remember that among the basic <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+types" rel="tag">skin types</a>, oily skin is perhaps the most sensitive and easily triggered. <br /><br /> Although having oily skin will lessen the possibility of developing wrinkles and lines early in life, one will compensate by being prone to acne, pimples and all sorts of blemishes. This is because over-activity of the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebaceous+glands" rel="tag">sebaceous glands</a> make it more likely for the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pores" rel="tag">pores</a> in the skin to get clogged. Clogging of pores with grime, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> and bacteria trapped inside, can result to swelling and red bumps. <br /><br /> Below are some of the tips that will help you take care of your oily skin. <br /><br /> 1. Choose what you put in your face <br /><br /> Oily skin can be very sensitive to irritation. This makes choosing the products that will not irritate the skin all the more difficult. For despite having products that are made especially for oily skin, there are skin types that are very allergic to some ingredients. <br /><br /> It is also recommended that people with oily skin refrain from using cosmetics and skin care products that are oil-based or those that are oily. Using oily products will only add to the oil already on the skin. They should instead use water-based products that are easily removed. <br /><br /> 2. Wash your face <br /><br /> Another solution to a problem is the frequent washing of the face. This is done to prevent the build-up of oil on the skin which in turn will prevent the occurrence of acne. Basic hygiene is the single best solution to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+problems" rel="tag">acne problems</a> in oily skin. <br /><br /> 3. Remove Make-up <br /><br /> Another reason why pores are clogged is the interaction of chemicals and oil on the skin. To prevent this, avoid sleeping while there is still make-up on your skin. This is actually a no-no for all skin types but all the more important for people with oily skin. <br /><br /> 4. Be consistent with your treatment <br /><br /> In taking care of oily skin, it is important that you are consistent with your treatment. Most people with oily skin will probably be asked to use cleansers and then toners. Astringents are also popular as it helps exfoliates the skin and remove dead skin cells on the surface. Moisturizers are sometimes forgone because the skin is oily and moisturized as it is.  <bio>This content is provided by Low Jeremy. It may be used only in its entirety with all links included.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[If you are among the many people who suffer from <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dry+skin" rel="tag">dry skin</a>, you will be eager to learn the best methods available for keeping your skin hydrated for as long as possible. Dry skin is especially a problem during the winter months where the lack of moisture causes the skin to itch and makes skin care a more difficult challenge. Women who have dry skin cannot wear make-up the way they would like to, as this would lead to further drying of the skin. However, with a little care and a lot of patience, dry skin can be maintained as beautiful and supple as moist and normal skin. <br /><br /> The 1-2-3 Method of Skin Care For Dry Skin <br /><br /> 1. Cleanse and exfoliate the skin -- The first step in any <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+regime" rel="tag">skin care regime</a> is to start by cleaning the skin. Since the dry skin will have a lot of dead cell accumulation on its surface, it will also require exfoliation along with the cleansing. It is only after the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> are removed, that any cream make-up can be applied. <br /><br /> 2. Moisturize the skin -- Because dry skin <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/lacks" rel="tag">lacks</a> moisture, wrinkling of the skin is likely to occur. In order to keep the skin smooth, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/moisturizer" rel="tag">moisturizer</a> will need to applied regularly. You will notice that after a few hours, the moisturizer tends to disappear and your skin becomes dry again. To prevent this, you may need to use a little glycerin; just a few drops can make a huge difference in helping to keep the skin moisturized. <br /><br /> 3. Nourishing the skin -- The dry skin is always starving. This is why its skin care will have to include a fair amount of rich nourishing night cream. This will help to restore its health and keep it nourished. This is best applied at night before going to bed because it is at this time that the skin is free from dust and other <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/pollution+particles" rel="tag">pollution particles</a>, and it can absorb sufficient nutrition. <br /><br /> If you would like to have youthful looking skin in spite of having dry skin, you will need to stick to this routine religiously. Avoid wearing cosmetics as much as possible, since this will further dry and damage the skin. If you do need to apply cosmetics, be sure that they are removed before you go to bed at night. Also, remember to add a sufficient amount of moisturizer to compensate for the loss that occurs during the day. During the day, try to keep your face out of direct sunlight. Wear a sun visor and use a sunscreen with an SPF rating of 30 or higher to keep your skin protected from the UV rays of the sun. <br /><br /> Having healthy, moisturized skin, will require a great deal of care on a regular basis. But, if you stick to a routine maintenance schedule, you can overcome the problem of dry skin.   <bio>Brought to you as a courtesy from <a href="http://bath-and-body.home-n-gifts.com" >http://bath-and-body.home-n-gifts.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

Although this is easier said then done some women enjoy spa days, massages and mud wraps to keep them selves relaxed and stress free. <br /><br /> Talking to friends and other women can help you <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/share+beauty" rel="tag">share beauty</a> secrets with one another. Although you should remember that some beauty secrets may work for one women but not for another. Its key to remember which beauty secret works best for you and stick to them. Some creams may work for you and others may not, so by keeping track of what you like and what works best for you will help you remember that particular skin cream as it is easy to forget with al the brands and options available for you out there. <br /><br /> Some women like to use <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+sea+products" rel="tag">dead sea products</a> as these products come directly from the dead sea located in Israel. The dead seas chemical make up of high density of salts and minerals make it ideal for keeping skin feeling healthy and young. It is said that all the way back to biblical times queens and phroes would use the mysterious powers of the dead sea for their own beauty secrets. Thanks to modern day technologies you too can share the same beauty secrets of the dead sea by using <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+sea+mud" rel="tag">dead sea mud</a> and salt extracted from the dead sea itself. You can bathe like a queen without having to travel across the world. <br /><br /> Whenever applying a new type of cream or lotion to your skin you should always remember to test a bit on your arm before you apply it to your face. I've seen many cases when women have used a new product without testing resulting in <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/hives" rel="tag">hives</a> all over their face as well as their skin color temporarily changing due to allergic reactions. You never know how your skin will react to a new product especially when it has become accustomed to a certain product of r many years. <br /><br /> Believe it or not a healthy diet can also be a beauty secret. Staying in shape, exercising and eating right will not only make you feel and look younger it will also improve your health. Remember beauty secrets are our little possessions that help us feel young and good about ourselves. Staying in shape, relaxed and stress free will keep you feeling young and beautiful for years to come.   <bio>Want to learn more about beauty secrets and antiaging techniques?

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ We all know that regular <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carpet+cleaning" rel="tag">carpet cleaning</a> is important for maintaining a safe home. We even know that cleaning your upholstery is important. Bit what about your mattress? After all you spend eight hours a day on it. Read this article and learn a little about the importance of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/mattress+cleaning" rel="tag">mattress cleaning</a>. <br /><br /> Your homes mattresses need just as much maintenance as your carpets or upholstery. Just because you put a sheet on it does not mean that it is safe from soiling. If air can pass through a sheet, so can soil. Most of the soil on a mattress is actually from us. It is our <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> which we are constantly losing. And where there are dead skin cells there is something worse. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dust+mites" rel="tag">Dust mites</a>. Dust mites feed on our dead skin cells and leave behind waste. It is this waste that we are allergic to. So what do you need to do? You need to clean your mattress. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/luckily" rel="tag">Luckily</a> these days many carpet and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/upholstery+cleaners" rel="tag">upholstery cleaners</a> have ventured into this field. They can thoroughly clean your mattresses and remove a great deal of the dead skin cells and dust mites. Complete removal is nearly impossible but a big reduction will have a number of benefits, especially for allergy sufferers. <br /><br /> Of course skin cells and dust mites are not the only thing on a mattress. If you have small children they might have had accidents on them. I am sure it would be nice to remove these soils. We also tend to perspire at night and some sweat inevitably makes its way to the mattress. This too can be cleaned up with a good cleaning. This just scratches the surface of what can wind up on your mattress, the list goes on and on. <br /><br /> As you can see there are many different reasons to have your mattress cleaned. Give your local <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/carpet+cleaner" rel="tag">carpet cleaner</a> a call and see if they offer this service. If you are a carpet cleaner, you should consider adding it to your cleaning arsenal.   <bio>Visit <a href="http://www.longbeachcarpetcleaning.info" >http://www.longbeachcarpetcleaning.info</a> for more information on mattress and carpet cleaning.  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Preventing acne in sure and simple way sounds difficult. Try these small steps and see if you get any results.? We have started believing that acne cannot be prevented. But let me tell you something by which you can be pretty sure that you will prevent it to some extent. <br /><br /> Stop using acne-causing cosmetics <br /><br /> Cosmetics are made with many ingredients. Some of them are synthetic chemicals and others are natural products. Some of these products may be comedogenic. A comedogenic product causes comedones when applied on the skin. When any cosmetic that contains s a comedogenic ingredient is used it causes <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+cosmetica" rel="tag">acne cosmetica</a>. Stop use of all such products that are comedogenic. Buy products labeled as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/non+comedogenic" rel="tag">non comedogenic</a>. <br /><br /> Remove <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> daily-<br /><br /><br /><br /> Dead skin cells cause a block in the pores and may <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/cause+acne" rel="tag">cause acne</a>. How do we remove the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+cells" rel="tag">dead cells</a> daily? Use of a substance that peels the skin layers from the top is best suited for this. Use of materials that dissolve the binding cement of dead cells is also needed. Peel off the top layer of dead cells. Dissolve the bond between dead cells and make them lose so that they can be easily washed away. Use of retinoids such as tretinoin and use of AHA such as glycolic acid regularly will do this easily. Please consult your doctor about this and ask for the right product. Once you keep the pores open, you will be effectively stopping acne production. <br /><br /> Control Sebum- <br /><br /> Acne is caused because of sebum. If sebum were not there, acne would not be there. Can i block sebum like we do with sweat? How to I block sebum? Let us answer. Till now nothing has been found to block the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebum+production" rel="tag">sebum production</a>. With aging it reduces, but in young age, you cannot block it with any method. You can remove the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/excess+sebum" rel="tag">excess sebum</a> from your skin with oil absorbent cosmetics and skin care products. Use sebum-removing products and keep sebum under control. <br /><br /> This article is only for informative purposes.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Your skin naturally sheds <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+cells" rel="tag">dead cells</a> every day, which helps to keep it smooth and fresh looking. But after the age of 35, the dead cells that make up the outer layer of your skin are not shed as rapidly as when you were younger. As dead cells accumulate, they make your skin look dull and dry and you lose the healthy, radiant look that characterizes youthful skin. You can greatly improve the appearance of your skin by regularly removing the top layer of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a>, a process called exfoliation. Exfoliation is accomplished by using grainy scrubs that physically remove dead cells through gentle abra=ADsion, or fruit-enzyme skin peels or alpha-hydroxy acid skin peels, which dissolve the top layer of dead skin cells. <br /><br /> Natural scrubs are made from finely ground <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fibrous+plant" rel="tag">fibrous plant</a> mate=ADrial such as oatmeal, corn meal, almonds, and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/apricot+kernels" rel="tag">apricot kernels</a>. Be cautious when using grainy scrubs, because many are too harsh to use on the delicate skin of your face. For a gentle scrub that will not irritate your skin. Although many grainy scrubs are too abrasive to use on your face, they are perfect to use as an allover exfoliator for your body. Your body builds up dead skin cells just as your face does and benefits from a weekly exfoli=ADating treatment. <br /><br /> Fruit-enzyme peels are made from fruit or vegetable enzymes that exfoliate the skin in approximately 20 minutes without scrub=ADbing. Many contain <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/green+papaya" rel="tag">green papaya</a>, which contains the protein=AD digesting enzyme papain. Dead skin cells are composed primarily of protein, and enzyme peels digest the dead skin cells on the sur=ADface of the skin without harming new cell growth. Enzyme peels are gentle exfoliators and leave skin noticeably smoother and softer after only one treatment. They can be used as part of a weekly or monthly facial treatment and can even be used daily as part of a program to rejuvenate aging skin. <br /><br /> Alpha-hydroxy acids are natural exfoliators derived from foods such as citrus fruits (citric acid), sour milk (lactic acid), grapes (tar=ADtaric acid), sugar cane (glycolic acid), and apples (malic acid). These gentle, natural acids work by loosening the "glue" that binds the outermost layer of surface cells together, which increases the shed=ADding of dead skin cells and encourages the formation of new skin cells. The idea of using the natural acids found in foods to renew the skin is not new-Cleopatra bathed in buttermilk, and red wine has been used for centuries as a skin wash. Alpha-hydroxy acids improve skin texture and color, reduce fine lines and age spots, and make pores appear smaller. Although you will usually notice smoother skin after the first treatment, you'll need to use alpha=ADhydroxy acids on a regular basis for two months or longer to see a significant improvement in skin texture and diminishment of fine lines. There are a variety of natural products available, and most contain between 5 and 15 percent alpha-hydroxy acids. Products that contain higher percentages of alpha-hydroxy acids will create faster results, but often cause stinging or tingling sensations when applied to the skin. These reactions are not usually a cause for con=ADcern, but severe stinging or redness indicates an undue sensitivity or allergic reaction and you should try a different product with a lower concentration of alpha-hydroxy acids.   <bio>Author's sites: <a href="http://www.herbalremedieslk.com" >http://www.herbalremedieslk.com</a> , <a href="http://myshabi.blogspot.com" >http://myshabi.blogspot.com</a> , <a href="http://myaroma.blogspot.com" >http://myaroma.blogspot.com</a>   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Skin is the largest organ in your body. Its purpose is to protect your muscles, bones and organs, to keep your body at the proper temperature and to give you the sense of touch. Skin is also the most visible body organ because it covers us fully from head to toe. <br /><br /> Skin is made up of three layers -- the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/epidermis" rel="tag">epidermis</a>, the dermis and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/subcutaneous+fat" rel="tag">subcutaneous fat</a>. Each layer is responsible for governing different <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/functions+of+the+skin" rel="tag">functions of the skin</a>. <br /><br /> The epidermis is the outer part of the skin that you can see and actually consists of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a>. Ninety-five percent of cells in the epidermis work to make new skin cells that take about two weeks to one month to move toward the top of the epidermis, leaving the dead skin cells at the surface. The older cells are strong and make a perfect protective covering for your body. Five percent of the cells in the epidermis make a substance known as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/melanin" rel="tag">melanin</a>, which gives your skin its color. <br /><br /> The dermis cannot be seen because it is the next layer under the epidermis. The dermis contains nerve endings that work with your brain and nervous system to give you a sense of touch. It also contains tiny blood vessels that maintain the health of skin cells by transporting oxygen and nutrients to them and remove waste. Oil glands, formally known as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebaceous+glands" rel="tag">sebaceous glands</a>, also exist within the dermis and produce sebum. Sebum is the natural oil made by skin to lubricate and protect your skin, as well as render it waterproof to the elements. Finally, your <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sweat+glands" rel="tag">sweat glands</a> are also located in your dermis. Sweat is constantly released by tiny holes in the skin known as pores and serves to regulate the skin's temperature and form a protective film on the skin. <br /><br /> The subcutaneous layers is the bottom layer of skin and is made up of mostly fat, which helps our body stay warm and absorbs the impact of shocks, such as falling or banging. This layer also holds your skin to the tissues beneath it and is the area where hair follicles begin. <br /><br /> The best way to take care of the skin we are in is to be aware of what makes this organ work, keep our skin clean and eat healthy foods.   <bio>For more free skin care information articles, please visit: <a href="http://www.FreeSkinCareInformation.com" >http://www.FreeSkinCareInformation.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[One of the most common skin diseases in the United States is acne and 60 million Americans have this condition. Acne is an inflammatory, non-contagious skin disease that affects the pores covering the face, back, chest and arms and the oil glands attached to them. Too much oil, formally known as sebum, is produced by the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebaceous+gland" rel="tag">sebaceous gland</a> and causes a greasy, course complexion. When the pores that hold our hairs become blocked by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> and oil, eruptions known as acne pimples are formed. <br /><br /> The most common form of this disease is mild acne, which is clinically referred to as <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acne+vulgaris" rel="tag">acne vulgaris</a>, and includes blemishes such as blackheads, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/whiteheads" rel="tag">whiteheads</a>, papules and pustules. Blackheads develop when a pore is partially clogged and some of the trapped bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells drain to the surface and your skin's pigment reacts with the oxygen in the air and causes a black color. Whiteheads occur when a pore is fully blocked and traps bacteria, sebum and dead skin cells with a white appearance. Pustules are like whiteheads, however, they appear as an inflamed red circle with a yellow or white center. Finally, papules are tender, red, inflamed bumps that have no head at all. <br /><br /> Severe acne vulgaris is defined by the appearance of nodules and cysts. Nodules are big, hard bumps under the surface of the skin that can last for month and feel painful. Cysts are filled with pus and can have a diameter of 5mm across or more. This type of acne would require treatment from a skin doctor, known as a dermatologist. <br /><br /> If you have mild acne, it is important to cleanse your skin two to three times per day with a cleanser developed for oily skin. Regular use of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/astringents" rel="tag">astringents</a> and masks can be helpful in keeping the pores from getting clogged. A light moisturizer can also help your skin. Avoiding <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oily+skin+care" rel="tag">oily skin care</a> products and foods will minimize the existence and production of oil in your skin. A healthy lifestyle that includes a well-<a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/balanced+diet" rel="tag">balanced diet</a>, exercise and sleep will reflect in your skin. Ensuring that you drink plenty of water and incorporate all vitamins into your diet will also improve the health of your skin.  <bio>For more articles with free skin care information, please visit: <a href="http://www.FreeSkinCareInformation.com" >http://www.FreeSkinCareInformation.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[I hope this article helps you understand a little more about the reality of skin care and how you should go about taking your first steps toward a healthy skin. <br /><br /> There is <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/no+doubt" rel="tag">no doubt</a> on the importance of skin care. The opinion on how-to (for <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/personal+skin+care" rel="tag">personal skin care</a>) differs from person to person. Some people believe that going to beauty parlours every other day is personal skin care. Many people believe that just applying some cream, lotion or something else to your skin, every now and then, will solve their problems. Then there are people who think that personal skin care is an event that happens once a month or once a year. Still others busy themselves with 'personal skin care' all the time. However, personal skin care is not that complicated and neither is it that expensive (considering how <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/beneficial" rel="tag">beneficial</a> it is). Personal skin care is following a routine or a procedure for attending to the needs of your skin. <br /><br /> You nee to determine your skin-type, even befor you start with a routine(oily, dry, sensitive, normal etc) and select the personal <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+products" rel="tag">skin care products</a> suitable for it (you might have to experiment with a few personal skin care products). Here is a routine that should work for most people with normal skin. <br /><br /> The first thing you must do on personal <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+routine" rel="tag">skin care routine</a> is 'Cleansing'. The three main ingredients of a cleanser are oil, water and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/surfactants" rel="tag">surfactants</a> (wetting agents). Oil and surfactants extract dirt and oil from your skin and water then flushes it out, thus making your skin clean. You might have to try a couple of cleansers before you find the one that suits you the best. Actually, you should always use soap-free cleansers. Also, you should use Luke warm water for cleansing (hot and cold water, both, cause damage to your skin). Take care that you don't over-cleanse your skin and end up damaging your skin in the process. <br /><br /> The second thing on the personal skin care routine is exfoliation. Skin follows a natural maintenance process wherein it removes the dead cells and replaces them with new skin cells. Exfoliation is just a way to facilitate the skin in this process. Dead skin cells are not capable of responding to personal skin care products but still consume these products, hence preventing them from reaching the new skin cells. Thus removing dead skin cells is important in order to increase the effectiveness of all personal skin care products. Generally, exfoliation takes it place just after cleansing. As with any personal skin care procedure, it's important that you understand how much exfoliation you need. Exfoliate 4-5 times per week for oily/normal skin and 1-2 times per week for dry/sensitive skin. Exfoliate a couple of times more in hot and humid weather. <br /><br /> Be aware that Personal skin care is something everyone should take care of since young, if not, when we get older we are going to see the results of not caring about ourselfes. <br /><br /> Ok, Next thing on personal skin care routine is moisturizers. This is one of the most important and basic things in personal skin care. Even people with oily skin need moisturisers. Moisturisers not only seal the moisture in your skin cells, but also attract moisture (from air) whenever needed. Use of too much moisturiser can however clog skin pores and end up harming your skin. The amount of moisturiser needed by your skin will become apparent to you within one week of you using the moisturiser. Also, applying the moisturiser is best when your skin is still damp. <br /><br /> The last thing on personal skin care routine is sunscreen. A lot of moisturizers (day-time creams/moisturisers) come with UV protection -- so you can get double benefits from them. Such moisturisers are recommended for all days (irrespective of whether it is sunny or cloudy). <br /><br /> Again, experiment with various personal skin care products and also with the amount you need to apply. What gives you best results is the best personal skin care recipe for you. However, if you have some kind of skin dilemma, it is best to consult your dermatologist before you actually start using any personal skin care products. <br /><br /> I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing--the more you understand about personal skin care, the more you will be able to prevent skin problems.   <bio>To find more information on how to take care of your skin visit: <a href="http://www.centerofskinhealth.com" >http://www.centerofskinhealth.com</a> </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ Shine over the face, which indicates excess skin oil, is a real cosmetic problem. Those who have oily skin, also develop more of acne. Skin oil is made of sebum, which is produced by <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebaceous+glands" rel="tag">sebaceous glands</a>. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/excess+sebum" rel="tag">Excess sebum</a> causes oily skin. The skin is covered with <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/acid+mantle" rel="tag">acid mantle</a>. <br /><br /> Acid mantle is a mixture of secretions of the skin on the surface of the skin. Sweat and sebum form the acid mantle. The normal skin pH is 4 to 5.5, so it is acidic. This mixture, which is acidic, is called acid mantle. The acid mantle protects the skin from bacteria. Bacteria get killed by the acid and cannot damage the skin. If you strip the skin of its acidic mantle by using strong alkaline soaps/cleansers, bacteria will find it easy to attack the skin. Moreover removing the acid mantle disturbs the distribution of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+cells" rel="tag">dead cells</a> on top of epidermis. This is called <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/stratum+corneum" rel="tag">stratum corneum</a>. The structure of cells in the dead skin cells layer gets <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/disturbed" rel="tag">disturbed</a> and the bacteria find an easy passage through to the epidermis. Normally these dead cells protect the skin against such damages. The skin is a miracle. These dead cells if allowed to accumulate will make the skin look very bad, but if totally removed, the skin is left defenseless to an extent. We have to arrive at a fine balance in maintenance of the skin. <br /><br /> Sebum plays an important role in making skin oily. The sebum is produced by sebaceous glands. Those who have oily skin, need to address two concerns- <br /><br /> How to remove excess oil from the skin?  How to keep the acid mantle healthy?<br /><br /><br /><br /> Let us first know more about sebum. Sebum is produced by sebaceous glands. These glands are found on most parts of the body. Except few, most sebaceous glands open into a hair follicle. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/sebum+production" rel="tag">Sebum production</a> decreases with age. Particularly in women, it reduces after menopause. Adult females produce less sebum than men. In men, sebum production may experience jump at the time of puberty. Increased sebum production can cause acne.  <br /><br /> There are some common theories about sebum. Some people believe that drying excess sebum with blotting oils will reduce sebum production. Some believe that if you use products designed to control oil production that will increase sebum production. Both are wrong conclusions. Drying excess oil will only remove surface oil. And using oil control products will not increase sebum production. In the next article we will find out about methods of oil reduction and skin care. <br /><br /> This article is only for informative purposes.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ One of the first things agencies look at when considering a new model is his or her skin. Skin, the largest organ in the human body, is the foundation of beauty. And while skin is the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/blank+canvas" rel="tag">blank canvas</a> for a beautiful face or body, you also want your skin to be beautiful on its own. For some, good genetics lend a helping hand. For others, beautiful skin is something you'll have to work for. <br /><br /> A lot of flaws can mar the skin, especially the thin, delicate skin of the face. These include dryness, flaccidity, pimples, wrinkles, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/enlarged+pores" rel="tag">enlarged pores</a>, age spots, and general unevenness. Quite a list, isn't it? <br /><br /> Fortunately, there are many ways to improve the tone and texture of your skin. And while you may never have ideal skin --some skin traits are genetic, after all-- you can always improve on nature. Below you'll find some of the best ways to improve your skin tone. <br /><br /> Hydration <br /><br /> One of the main things that lead to an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/uneven+skin+tone" rel="tag">uneven skin tone</a> is dryness. The recommended two <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/liters+of+water" rel="tag">liters of water</a> isn't random, and isn't just something <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/bottled+water+companies" rel="tag">bottled water companies</a> use just to sell their products. Hydrating your skin will help to combat dryness and redness. It can also have an effect on your pores; you may find that, when hydrated, your skin will plump slightly, making enlarged pores less visible. <br /><br /> Exfoliation <br /><br /> Do you ever wonder how Hollywood stars get that glowing, youthful skin tone? Exfoliation. If you want to have smooth, glowing movie-star skin, exfoliation is key. No matter how well you wash your skin, if you do not exfoliate, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin+cells" rel="tag">dead skin cells</a> will build up. When this happens, your skin will appear duller, dryer, older, less pretty. Those nasty dead skin cells will also block your pores, resulting in blackheads, pimples, and stretched, enlarged pores. <br /><br /> So get exfoliating. There are a couple of main ways to exfoliate your skin. One is manual exfoliation. This is when a comparatively rough surface is used to buff dead skin and impurities away. Manual exfoliation can consist of microdermabrasion, exfoliating cloths, brushes, scrubs, etc. Just be sure not to use rough, hard edged brushes or scrubs, and they can irritate your skin, just making your problems worse. <br /><br /> Another even easier way to exfoliate is by chemical exfoliation. Chemical exfoliation is the use of chemicals that strip away dead skin for you. These are usually in the form of fruit acids, acid peels/masks, and alpha or beta hydroxy lotions. These are intended to get right down into the pores, cleaning them from the inside out. While chemical exfoliation is one of the best things you can do for your skin tone (it's great combined with occasional manual exfoliation), it's important to be careful. Start with gentle products, and use them only occasionally at first-- even so, they may cause dryness and peeling. Also, be sure to research any products you buy; many over-the-counter beta or alpha hydroxy exfoliants are not the correct pH to be truly effective. <br /><br /> The truth is, it's impossible for a person over the age of ten to have perfect skin. As you age, hormones and time have their effect on your body and it will begin to show on your skin. There's no preventing it. And there's no need to feel hopeless. Just remember, even those Hollywood stars aren't perfect. Take away the products, the professionally-applied make-up, the lighting, and the airbrushing, and Jennifer Lopez's skin probably looks a lot like yours.   <bio>Hydration and Exfoliation are crucial in maintaining great skin. It's also a good idea to use organic sunscreen when out in the sun. <a href="http://www.saffronrouge.com" >http://www.saffronrouge.com</a>  </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ It is a fact that the older you get the more it'll show from your face and your skin. That is if you do not take care of it on an ongoing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/daily+basis" rel="tag">daily basis</a>. Studies show that if you spend just 20% of the time on a daily basis, that the average human is spending <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/watching+television" rel="tag">watching television</a>, you can keep looking a lot younger than other people at your age. The best part is that most of what you have to do can actually be done in front of the television if you desire. <br /><br /> Even though you can wash, cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin in front of the TV it will be much easier for you to just skip the commercials and go work on keeping your skin clean, smooth and feeling great. Did you know that the skin is actually the largest organ of your body? Appearances do make a difference and you only have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/one+chance" rel="tag">one chance</a> to make a first impression. <br /><br /> Now most people don't feel that they have the time to take really good care of their skin and most people don't even wash their face with something as simple as water on a daily basis. So without going into all the things that you ought to do I will leave you with a few simple steps that will make a major difference in the look of your skin if you apply the consistently twice a day. It is important to wash, cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin just before or after you brush your teeth every morning and every night. <br /><br /> The best thing that you could do is to find some <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/high+quality+products" rel="tag">high quality products</a> as you will find that there are products available that can hurt your skin instead of nurturing it. Some scrubs that are used for peeling <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+skin" rel="tag">dead skin</a> off your face can have <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/little+bits+of+glass" rel="tag">little bits of glass</a> or stone mixed into the scrub to peel the skin. This treatment can damage your skin severely and my strongest recommendation is to spend just a little more money on a quality product. If you are going for it, then why not <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/do+it+properly" rel="tag">do it properly</a>? <br /><br /> The first step is to wash your face using warm water and a good quality some (especially designed to be used in the face). Secondly you can use a scrub (not necessary daily) to peel of the dead skin cells and to bring life into your skin. After the wash and scrub you need to tone the skin using a toner - Preferably one without alcohol in it. Finally you apply a face cream for either dry skin or for oily skin. If you don't know what type of skin you have then ask the person behind the counter where you buy the products to use. Go shop in a specialist shop where you can have experts guide you =96 it is for the sake of your skin.   <bio>The author is the owner of the home decor website of <a href="http://www.mrieck.com/area-rugs/" >http://www.mrieck.com/area-rugs/</a>   </bio>]]></content:encoded>

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Washing the face everyday is sometimes not enough. Some get <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/facials" rel="tag">facials</a> done while others regularly visit their <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dermatologists" rel="tag">dermatologists</a> for consultation. There are also some who are forever undergoing some kind of medication to help keep their face blemish free. This can eat up a lot of the money that they earn. Remember that facials and consultations are not cheap. They can be mightily expensive. <br /><br /> But why go with the medical when you can do it in the natural way? Below are some of the ways that you can take care of your skin without spending so much. <br /><br /> 1. <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/exfoliation" rel="tag">Exfoliation</a> in the shower <br /><br /> Exfoliation is one of the things that help keep your skin, smooth and silky. The process removes the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+cells" rel="tag">dead cells</a> from the skin, thereby preventing the buildup of dead cells in the pores. <br /><br /> Exfoliation can actually be done before you take a bath everyday. You just need a dry brush. Make sure that it has soft bristles; otherwise, you will end up irritating the skin. Brush in circular movements to also help in the circulation of the skin. This process however can only be done in certain parts of the body. Sensitive areas like the face may only be irritated. <br /><br /> 2. Use <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruits+and+veggies" rel="tag">fruits and veggies</a> <br /><br /> Cliché as it is, <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/fruits+and+vegetables" rel="tag">fruits and vegetables</a> really do have properties that help in keeping the skin healthy. What is more you don't have to eat them. There are fruits and veggies that you can put directly to your skin like the tomato and the cucumber. <br /><br /> Of course, eating an <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/apple+a+day" rel="tag">apple a day</a> will definitely keep the dermatologists away as apple contains natural nutrients that are really good for the body, especially for the skin. High fiber fruits like bananas are also highly recommended as they are able to improve on digestion and metabolism. <br /><br /> 3. Water <br /><br /> Not only will water help you in washing your face, drinking lots of it will also help you get rid of the toxins in the body. In fact, one of the secrets to having great skin is drinking lots of water. Experts recommend at least 8 glasses a day. For people who have digestive problems, about 10-15 glasses is already enough. <br /><br /> 4. Exercise <br /><br /> Another way to get rid of the toxins in the skin is to regularly do physical activities whether they like working out in the gym or doing sports activities. <br /><br /> 5. Avoid sugar <br /><br /> Do you know that sugar can actually make your skin sag and develop wrinkles? This happens when the excess sugar go to the bloodstream and sticks to the protein.   <bio>This content is provided by Low Jeremy. It may be used only in its entirety with all links included.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[ There are several appropriate and inappropriate ways for performing <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/facial+skin+care" rel="tag">facial skin care</a>. Many people accept that the application of a lot of <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/facial+creams" rel="tag">facial creams</a> and <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/skin+care+product" rel="tag">skin care product</a>s will actually increase their chances of getting better looking skin and keeping it that way. However, the truth could not be further. <br /><br /> The real fact is that skin in general does not really need a lot of products to achieve that glowing look. The first step to healthy looking skin is to know your skin type. It is only then that you will be able to choose the facial skin care product that matches your skin type. This step is very important as the wrong skin care can often make your skin look worse that when you started. <br /><br /> Step Two To Proper Facial Skin Care <br /><br /> You probably guessed by now that cleansing has a very important role to play in giving your skin <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/proper+skin+care" rel="tag">proper skin care</a>. However, once you have chosen a product that matches your skin type, maintaining a daily cleansing routine is what will eventually give you the results that you are after. It is important that once you start, you stick to it to avoid complications or blemishes. Your routine for facial skin care in the morning can be done without using any soap or cleanser. <br /><br /> If your face tends to get a little oily from oils and sebum that have accumulated during your sleep, you might want to wash it off with water. If you face is usually very oily, you might want to add a little amount of cleanser to your morning routine to wash the <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/oily+residue" rel="tag">oily residue</a> off your face. If you regularly wear make-up to go to work or when you go out, it is highly recommended that you use a cleanser after you have taken off your make-up. Ensure also that the water is just warm enough so as not to cause any <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/broken+capillaries" rel="tag">broken capillaries</a>. <br /><br /> Step Three To Proper Facial Skin Care <br /><br /> The skin is the biggest organ in the body and unlike any other, its cells are constantly dying and new ones form to replace the dead ones. The dead layer of skin, although unseen by the naked eye, can block pores and cause blemishes and needs to be "removed" on a regular basis to allow your pores to "breath". This is called exfoliation and should be performed weekly to be beneficial. There are many ways that you could use to exfoliate your skin but it is far better to contact your dermatologist for a professional exfoliation. Although this could sometimes get quite pricey, you know that you are giving your skin the best treatment possible.  If however you cannot afford professional exfoliation, there are also some packs on the market that will allow you to perform this yourself. <br /><br /> Step Four To Proper Facial Skin Care <br /><br /> Many people do not moisturize their skin/face because they believe that they have oily skin. The truth is that only people with acne need not moisturize. If you have oily skin, try to find a moisturizer that will not clog your pores. Only use these if your skin is extra oily. <br /><br /> If you love going to the beach, there is nothing as important as sunscreen. For proper facial skin care, you must avoid the damage that the sun can cause to your skin. Follow all these steps above and you too can have healthy, younger and glowing looking skin.   <bio>Proper facial skin care is very important to achieve younger, healthier and glowing looking skin.

    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Acne is caused due to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/dead+cells" rel="tag">dead cells</a> of skin or oil filling up in the skin's pores. Sometimes, acne can become serious and you can get pimples on your skin. This is called Cystic acne. This kind of acne needs to be treated immediately as it is very unpleasant. There are numerous treatments available to cure cystic acne. You can use these treatment options, but sometimes, these treatments can cause side effects. This may not be good for your skin. It is better if you try out the numerous home remedies or natural treatments that are generally prescribed to cure cystic acne.<br><br>The basic function that these treatments need to provide is the cleansing of your skin to remove the dead skin and the oil and keep the skin soft and smooth. Women, in particular, have to remove the makeup on skin before going to bed as cystic acne can affect adults as well as infants. Whatever activity you do to cleanse your skin will cure your acne in the long run. The food is a part of the factors that contribute to acne. Apart from food, lack of exercise can also lead to acne.<br><br>Your first step to <a href="http://www.artwoo.com/tag/clearing+acne" rel="tag">clearing acne</a> is to stop eating junk foods and processed foods. Foods that contain hydrogenated fat, fried or grilled food, concentrated sweeteners, soft drinks like coca-cola, pepsi and soda pop, and alcoholic drinks can lead to acne.
