Kissable lips

Some people keep asking me why their lips are dry, sore, chaffed and cracked.

Well there are a few reasons for this, but more importantly is what can you do about it, if you suffer constantly from dry, sore, chaffed and cracked lips or would like to prevent it from happening to you.

Well here's what I usually recommend to everyone.

1) Drink at least 2 litres of purified water everyday, as you lose moisture in the sun and also in an air-conditioned environment. To learn more about purified water, you can read more at this blog - http://naturepure.blogspot.com

2) Use a good lip block - not a lip gloss. A lip block protects your lips from being sun burned. Yes you may use a sunblock for your skin, but not on your lips. A lip block with a minimu of SPF20, does 2 things - 1. keeps the lips from losing moisture and 2. keep s the lips from burning. The best lip block that meets all these criteria is the E-International Lip Block which retails in Malaysia for RM 37 (USD12)

3) Enhance the elasticity of your skin by boosting up the collagen. The simplest way is to use a good Vitamin C supplement. But make sure it is time-released, has at least 4 different types of vitamin Cs (not just ascorbic acid) and has bio-flavonoids. The best that I recommend is Bio-C from Unicity, USA. This Bio-C retails in Malaysia RM 77, Singapore S$ 37 & USA $21.

If you can do all these 3 simple things, you can heal and prevent dry, sore, chaffed and cracked lips and enjoy lip smacking again!.

Botox & Myobloc warning from FDA

Some people link youth to beauty, and to stay beautiful, some opt for Botox (or Myobloc) injections.

FDA's neurology chief Russel Katz recently reported that these injections have so far caused 16 deaths. Read the CNN report here - http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/02/08/botox.warning.ap/index.html

There is no easy way to stop skin ageing, but you can slow the ageing process, by doing these simple things consistently.

1. Get a restful sleep every night
2. Minimise your stress levels
3. Hydrate your skin by drinking purified / mineral water - http://nanomins.blogspot.com
4. Use a good UVA sunblock as UVA rays cause premature ageing - E-Intl UVA/UVB sunblock
5. Eat 24 servings of colourful fresh fruits and vegetables every week(Daily Produce24) - http://theglobalgroup.blogspot.com
6. Take a quality Vitamin C supplement, that helps boost up skin collagen levels ( Bio-C )
7. Use a daily skincare that uses plant botanicals and does not contain alcohol, harsh chemicals, fragrances, colours, animal fats, mineral oils and preservatives. ( Be Skincare )

I can't help you with items 1 and 2, but I do have a safe and effective solution for items 3 to 7, so you can maintain your youth, without dangerous surgery or fatal botox injectins.

You are going to spend the money anyway, and its always cheaper doing prevention and maintenance, rather than a curative overhaul after the damage is already done.Makes sense doesn't it?.

Lasers, Lights, Sounds - to keep you 10 years younger

It's getting scary - as years pass, gravity keeps pulling skin downwards and too many options to choose the lasers, lights, sounds, the knife and botox that promise to turn back your clock.

For those that these procedures work, its heaven sent, but for those that something goes wrong, it's a painful realisation that its not the technology, but the error-prone humans who operate the equipment that could make your life a living hell.

Aging is not an option, but looking younger than your biological age 10 and 20 years from today starts now - when you have the good, firm, tight and young skin.

Unlike a new car that has a manual for service intervals, your body did not come with a service manual. So here's a simple manual for looking 5-10 years younger, today and in the future.

1. Use a physical sunblock with UVA/UVB protection (Sunblock SPF46 UVA/UVB rated)
2. Drink 5-8 glasses of purified water daily. (Nature Pure Water Purifier)
3. Take some good anti-oxidant vitamins and mineals (Daily Produce24)
4. Use a day moisturiser for protection and a night mosituriser (Green Tea Oil) for repair.
5. Weekly do a mineral mask to exfoliate, for oil balance and to lift up and tighten the skin
6. From age 35, add a Vitamin A serum (Retinol Serum) to speed up the skin renewal, erase fine lines and lighten pigmentation.

The money will be spent later or today. And spending today will keep you looking younger longer, and keeping you confident too.
