Makeup and your skin Clogged Pores It’s easy to skip washing your face at night, but the negatives far outweigh the positives of this habit. Sleeping in makeup can clog your pores and cause acne on the face. It also can irritate your eyes and cause bumps to form on the skin close to your eyes. Premature Aging Leaving makeup on your skin overnight can accentuate wrinkles and fine lines. Sun damage can also cause aging (and many people don’t wear sunscreen when they are wearing makeup). Age spots and wrinkles can appear as a result of not properly protecting your skin. Dry or Oily Skin Makeup products can make your skin drier or oilier than usual. Additionally, when people with naturally dry skin try to put makeup on top of their skin, the makeup can make their skin even drier. You can tell if you have dry skin from signs such as flaky or scaly skin. A shiny face is a sign of oily skin. So if you wear makeup every day, like many women do, how can you prote...

Skin Ageing

Intrinsic and extrinsic skin ageing Skin ages intrinsically (chronologically from within) and extrinsically (due to external factors). Intrinsic skin ageing results from the passage of time and is mainly due to the action of reactive oxygen species (ROS) (Box 1) (Naidoo and Birch-Machin, 2017). It occurs within the skin itself due to reductions in dermal mast cells, fibroblasts and collagen production, and a flattening of the junction between the epidermis and dermis. Intrinsically aged skin is unblemished, smooth, pale, dry and less elastic with fine wrinkles (Landau, 2007). The fact that it covers the entire body means the skin is the most obvious place to observe signs of ageing. The skin is the body’s largest organ – an average adult’s skin has a surface area of approximately 1.67m² and weighs around 4-5kg (Marieb and Hoehn, 2015). Skin is a malleable but tough structure, serving as a bag holding in all the body’s contents; without it, we would quickly succumb to water and hea...

Hair loss: how does it affect women? On seeing a bald man walk past, most of us wouldn’t take a second glance. But would this be the case if a bald woman walked past? It is doubtful. Hair loss – although distressing – is generally more accepted in men, despite women accounting for 40% of all hair loss sufferers in the US. In this Spotlight, we look at the main causes of hair loss in women, the emotional toll it can take and why research is lagging behind in treatment for female hair loss. The most common cause of hair loss in both men and women is androgenetic alopecia, also referred to as male or female pattern baldness. A hereditary condition, androgenetic alopecia is believed to be caused by dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which derives from the male hormone testosterone. An enzyme called Type 2 5-alpha reductase – present in the oil glands of hair follicles, the skin organs that produce hair – helps convert testosterone to DHT. This derivative then ...

Know your worth A father, before he died, said to his son: “This is the watch your grandfather gave me and this is more than 200 years old. Before I give it to you go to the watch shop on the first street, and tell him I want to sell it, and ask how much they offer”. The son went and after several minutes, he came back to his father and said, “The watchmaker offers to pay $5 because it’s old and has a lot of scratches.” He then asked him to go to the coffee shop. The son went and after an hour or so, he came back and said: “The coffee shop owner offers $5, father.” “Go to the museum and show that watch”. He went ahead and then came back happily. “They offered me a million dollars for this piece.” The father said: “I wanted to let you know that the right place values your value in the right way, don’t put yourself in the wrong place and get angry if you get treated like trash. Those who knows your value are the ones who appreciates you, don’t ever stay in a place that doesn’t...

Be aware of yourself Be aware of yourself but don't be judgmental. By looking inward but not judging yourself you can change and adapt yourself to be a better you. By being judgmental of yourself you are going to make yourself feel worse than you already do, so be conscious of this. Your thoughts, your words, your actions. By thinking about all your conscious and unconscious motives in your daily routines. What moves you and what makes you tick? Once you recognise the underlying patterns, you can set yourself free. Once you see, you can correct. Step up and take control. Focus on your inner self, your thoughts, words and actions because this is what shapes your current life situation. A healthy mind leads to a beautiful life - Germany Kent Your Mind is like a factory. The ingredients you are putting into it will be used to make the final product. Your life. The key to your happiness is in your hands, so stop giving it to others - Richi...

Does Visualization and Meditation assist Goal Setting? Both visualization and meditation have been proven to have a wonderful impact on our overall mood and sense of happiness and fulfillment (Meevissen, Peters, & Alberts, 2011, Peters, Flink, Boersma, & Linton, 2010). Research has also begun to show that visualization can help to promote and improve goal-setting behaviors (Taylor et al, 1998). Emotions play a crucial role in goal setting. Research has shown that when we connect our goals to our values and attach them to emotional outcomes, we’re more motivated to succeed and feel positive about it in the process (Austenfeld, Paolo, & Stanton 2006). Using mental imagery of what we want our future to look and feel like is also powerful in supporting goal setting. Oyserman, Bybee, and Terry (2006) found that asking participants to use mental imagery to envision their best possible future self-enhanced their motivation to identify the goals needed to create th...

One of my favorite quotes is Thomas Edison’s, “The reason that so few people recognize opportunity is that it comes dressed in overalls and looks a lot like hard work.” There is no mistaking the above statement. I think many of us are thinking back and saying, "yes, I do believe that be be true." S ometimes opportunity does come knocking and we don’t want to answer the door or we have listened to the opinions of others. We often say, "What do you want? Go away! I'm too busy now! My brother's uncle's wife said it does not work! What if this was just the opportunity you were waiting for? What you have been asking for? How many times have you said, "I want more money, I need to make more money or if only there was a way to be more financially free." What if opportunity showed up at your door and got that response? What would you do in that situation? Would you just up and leave, feeling you not welcome, would you knock again? I dou...

THE LAW OF ATTRACTION Don't worry about what others think! People long to be accepted by others and therefore we constantly worrying about what others think of us. Constant worrying creates negative vibrations and by emitting these vibrations we attract this very thing into our lives. Are you preventing yourself from fulfilling your potential? Only you are aware of what is good for you and nobody else. Therefore you need to make your own decisions and not based on what others think or may think of you for said decision or choice. Whether the decision was a good or bad one, it was still your to make and what is the worst that can happen? You can learn from it. We cannot control what other people think and feel so why let it bother you what they think and feel about you. Be happy with yourself and who you are. What you think of yourself is what you will attract into your life. People's thoughts change constantly : People change constan...

Science Says 92 Percent of People Don't Achieve Their Goals. Here's How the Other 8 Percent Do If you're serious about goal setting, here's what the high achievers know that you may not. BY MARCEL SCHWANTES , FOUNDER AND CHIEF HUMAN OFFICER, LEADERSHIP FROM THE CORE @MARCELSCHWANTES Getty Images Did you know that a staggering 92 percent of people that set New Year's goals never actually achieve them? That's according to research by the University of Scranton . I've done it many times, and if you're like me -- a driven, type-A entrepreneur -- failing to meet goals can set you back and leave you discouraged and frustrated. (I even felt it as I typed that sentence.) Here's the thing: If you want to break the cycle, do what the other 8 percent of goal-setters -- the successful ones -- do consistently and exceptionally well. Set goals that are specific and challenging (but not too hard). Research by ...
