Sunscreen Harmful or Helpful  
If you are not familiar with sunscreen use then you should read up on it.  I use to think that all skin types require the same amount of protection. When it fact they don't.  You have to find a sunscreen containing the right amount of suggested SPF formulations to help avoid sunburn.  In this sunscreen formula numbers range from 2-50+ SPF the highest number protection used for very fair skin and the lowest number for  very dark skin everything else is in between.
 

According to many dermatologists sunscreen with the SPF("sun protection factor) numbers 15-30 is the best for most people.  But this applies if your skin sun complexion is considered light which burns moderately and tans eventually. This leaves you to ask how long of bathing in the sun does one tan one  tan eventually, joined by the skin burning as well. Here are two things you should do look for a sunscreen chart and remember the following about your skin; if your skin is either Very Fair it always burns easily-never tans, Fair always burns easily-tans minimally, again Light burns moderately-tans eventually, Medium burns minimally-always tans well, Dark rarely burns-tans readily, and Very Dark never burns-becomes deeply pigmented. Deciding to use a sunscreen or not becomes clear and simple once you learn that burning the skin is something you can do without. Plus, a lot of the
sunscreens contain chemical ingredients that may interact with the sun rays and cause skin irritations. The fact of the matter is use your common sense and good judgment to tan responsibly. Find out more about safer beauty such as sunscreens and any other beauty & personal care product see

About Your Skin

Quiet naturally geography and seasons have an effect on your skin. Although we must keep in mind that God gave us skin to protect us from the harsh conditions of our environment.  Our skin is constantly working day and night.  It wrinkles, unwrinkles, shrinks, streches, and sags.  Let's not forget that our skin responds to the weather, light and dark, pain, pleasure, illness as well as happiness.  It is the largest organ senses of our bodies, and with all the skin has to do it is our responsibility to fortify our skins tissues and blood cells.  This is done through the food we eat and and products we use on our bodies.  Become your own skin specialist. Educateyourself about various herbs, fruits, vegetables and oils that are both good for the skin inside as well out. 


What You Think Is What You Get
What you put on your body is as equally important as what you put into it. You want the outer appearance of your skin to reflect that of beauty and health. Although there are three contributing factors to this look; First, you eat the right foods to give the body vitamins and  minerals it needs to nourish itself with plenty of water and adequate rest and sleep. Second, you adopt a form of exercise to help fine tune the body's infrastructure and encourage the body organ system to function properly so that it can eliminate waste and carry oxygen throughout the body. You don't have to spend a lot of money to have beautiful skin. Make it a habit to clean, tone and moisture your skin daily. If you have a complete or a combination products that you've been using for years giving you great results then don't change them. Unless, you just want to try something different. Then it's ok to indulge in the beauty arena spices of life.  I've purchased my share of beauty and skin care products only to return to my old faithful way of keeping my skin looking good. In the end you will discover the truth of the matter is when buying beauty products "

Brand And You

You are your most important asset. When God created you he had individual very special in mind.  He made you unique with unlimited potential.  Where ever you are and what ever you do in your professional life you can attain power and status.  By associating your name with a certain style, technique, product or service you can become a much needed brand. For me.  I chose to established a beauty company and to utilize the internet as a platform to create something that all could benefit from. Your brand is a natural extension of who you are, not a niche that you have shaped and conformed to. Determine what  makes you different from everybody else. The following are things to help you get started: 1. Brand Discovery; Read "Be your Own Brand", "the brand called you" and "The 22 Immutable Laws of BRANDING", 2. Decide a product or service to incorpate your style or technique, 3. Design a Logo, 4. Legalize your business. Patent or Trademark your idea, product or service, 5. Create a business plan, 6. Manage your business and finances with ease.  Get a good accountant and business management software, 7. Get a website with great hosting services.  Good Luck.


Spa Services In Beauty Salons
As the beauty industry evolve there is a significant change in the way beauty salons and some barber shops operate in business today.  In fact, if you haven't paid close attention to the latest trends in providing services to your customers you can risk loosing them because your salon doesn't measure up to the new wave of modern Day Spa salons. Unless, you are like me then you are reading magazines like American Spa, Massage, and the American Salon just to name a few.  The publications show you how Day Spas are designed to capture the mind, body, and spirit of the individual customer. Therefore you discover that in this era that a traditional beauty salon can  lack the ability to excite and stimulate the senses of the patron leaving your customer vulnerable to the competition which might be a Zen inspired Day Spa across across the street where they can get a Seaweed Body Wrap and facial. Then to top it all off a splendid glass of imported red wine from Australia. Now; How does that sound. Great! In essence you should explore all the possibilities of improving your business to create your own Spa atmosphere. From changing the decor to offering offering spa created treatments. For products and supplies visit www.dayspawarehouse.com  for spa products, retail & display kits, and profit packages.

Men Are Beautiful Too
I adore a beautiful man and believe this to be true for a most woman.  Men are thought of as being ridged and insensitive creatures with no subtle qualities.  In fact many men think showing any emotions are strictly for the opposite sex. On the contrary it is necessary that a man show that he can be a gentle man.  A new age women knows that it takes more than just a physical attraction to win her over. A man has to be good-looking inside and out.

This means that one attraction won't do. You want to have many. The following are some qualities every woman look for in a man; well groomed, intelligent with a wonderful demeanor, natural sense of humor, strong character, knowledgeable in basic business and personal finance.  Also have a broad perspective on life in general; socially and economically aware, health conscious, spiritual, self sufficient, pro-active, sensitive; responsive, loving; understand the art of love making, caring, and somewhat domestically inclined. All of this is summed up in mans walk and his talk. He has confidence and strives for excellence.  This is a beautiful man. Are you with your true Soul Mate?

Spa Treatment for Men

Looking and feeling good is a high priority for most men.  Although they don't spend as much time as women pampering them-selves they still enjoy the experience of receiving a manicure, pedicure, massage and facial from a beauty or barber professional.
The ISAP survey reported that more than thirty percent of spa visits in the U.S. aredone by men, but even as the spa industry matures men have yet to make their way to the spas for regular visits.  Men who attend spas enjoy the privacy and comfort that it can offer. If the spa has amenities on the other hand such as a steam room sauna, and whirlpool which makes it more pleasurable for them it is most likely they will revisit that spa again. Although spas exist some men still prefer to go to a barber for their favorite hair cut for straight-razor shave that is skillfully performed that is followed up with a hot-towel facial. 

When it comes to skin care products they are not fussy. If they are given a facial or skin care treatment by an they will use whatever is recommended. Men should look for the  skincare products designed to keep the skin looking healthy, young and clear.  To achieve this they should use a mild cleanser, ( when needed to help remove dead skin cells) followed up with an astringent to remove any access cleanser or. Also it helps fight acne.  Lastly moisturize the skin.  I suggest that men use skincare products that contain botanicals, aroma-therapy essential oils, and provide anti-oxidizing and purifying benefits are great. Men who don't like to use straight-razors on their skin should check out the Best Brands in Mens Grooming Products.
