We already know we can´t prevent all wrinkles but what we can do is protect ourselves from their early arrival. There are several factors that influence the amount of fine lines that will appear on our face and at what age they will start to form. The sun is the number culprit, dry skin follows but overall it is genetics that will determine your fate.

Having a healthy life style and using sun protection are some of the ways to keep these wrinkles away but sometimes we need a little more help than that. Collagen is a natural product that with its application several times a day for about 3 to 6 months could help not only improve but hold off those nasty little crevices that ruin our appearance.

Little by little we could start to find as many solutions to our beauty needs and become experts in our own beauty regimen.

I don´t know many women older than 35 years old who have oily skin (I know they are out there, those lucky few who will keep the wrinkles away a little longer). I for one have had very dry skin since childhood and have been on a quest to find the perfect solution. I think I have just about tried everything, creams, oils, vitamins and yes I drink plenty of water but nothing responded. A friend recommended I use essential oils in conjunction with my creams to help my terrible lizard skin and with nothing to lose I gave it a try.

I educated myself on the subject matter and I discovered that the use of essential oils from flowers, herbs and trees in extract or in the essence used to help promote health or well being is a therapy called aromatherapy. Greek, Egyptian and Roman civilizations used a combination of different oils to better their health and promote beauty.

I found a great store specialized in essential oils called taliaessenze through the Internet and I bought all the appropriate oils to calm dry skin, geranium, jazmin, lavender, lemon, patchouli and rose. Prepared with all my products, I started to mix and combine oils with creams to see what would happen.

With time, I started to notice a difference in my skin and my state of mind. I realized these oils not only make you look good, they make you feel good with their relaxing aroma. I continue my essential oil routine and will continue to use these oils to maintain my soft and velvety skin.

At what age should a woman start worrying about her age? At my almost 40 years old, I think that we have a built in gene that makes us start to worry about aging from the time we are young girls. It is ingrained in us and through our lives we go on worrying about how we are going to age and our insecurities invade us and take over. We try desperately to find the fountain of youth and any measures or remedies that will keep us stay young and beautiful for ever.

Wrinkles are the first signs of aging and the first thing we see when we look in the mirror. Nowadays, there are many anti aging products and treatments that help us stay young but with so many new treatments being introduced everyday it is hard to say which is the best for us. One of the newest trends in this anti aging world is Botox.

Botox (botulism toxin) is a protein which injected very superficially on the skin, with a fine needle that produces hardly any pain provides a temporal solution to the elimination of fine lines and wrinkles. It relaxes the muscles surrounding the wrinkle and leaves the skin stretched and renewed. Even though it is not the perfect miracle, for many it is a small miracle that allows them to enjoy a wrinkle free expression for a limited time.

As with anything, these treatments need to be combined with a healthy lifestyle and foremost a young spirit.

Finally a perfect solution to eliminate unwanted hair. I can´t believe after so many years of cutting myself with the shaver which was good for nothing because it made my hair grow back thicker and stronger and faster than I wanted. I would shave one leg and by the time I started to shave the other the hair on the first leg had already started to grow back!. I tried waxing which was a better alternative, my hair did not grow back as fast but the pain was not a lot of fun. Depilatory creams are effective, if you want to go around smelling like a sour something.. so when laser hair removal was introduced, I was the first one to sign up.

Laser hair removal has demonstrated in recent years how this method is not only effective but safe and long lasting, not to mention pain free. A laser light is passed through your skin’s surface to tiny sacs (hair follicles) where hair growth originates. The intense heat damages the hair follicle, which inhibits hair growth. Depending on your skin type and hair growth, several treatments are needed.

This treatment may not be appropriate for everyone and you should check with you health care professional before attending a skin care clinic to start the procedure. I for one have tried it and the results so far are fabulous ..

Winter is among us and that means hiding our little tootsies behind heavy socks and boots ,but this is not a reason to forget about them. Your poor feet sustain us all day long without complaining the least bit when we squeeze them in to those shoes one size too small just because we thought they were to die for and just had to have them, they don´t say anything when those Manolo Blahnik new shoes cut through your toes day after day (but you look good). Give thanks to your poor feet and pamper them a little this winter.

You don´t need to run to your nearest beauty salon (well not all the time), you can perform a do it yourself pedicure in the comfort of your own home. Here are a few tips:

1. Start by soaking your feet in warm water using your favorite relaxing gel.
2. Apply an exfoliating gel and massage your feet using circular movements.
3. Using a pumice stone rub away all the calluses, apply cuticle cream to your toenails and push back the cuticles with an orange stick.
4. Cut your nails (but not too short in order to prevent infections) and file them.
5. Apply massage cream and give your self a soft massage (here is the part where you may want to ask for help)
6.Separate your toes with those cute little toe separators (or just use plain toilet paper wrapped around each toe), apply a base coat and then your favorite nail color.
7. Apply a drying spray and you are ready to go.

Ahh. what a relief huh? As soon as I get home I think I will do the same.

I started to notice a long time a go that in the morning when I put on my make up, everything seemed fine.  I used all the proper creams and make-up to make myself look as great as I could but come the middle of the day and my make up started to fade away, specially my eyeshadow. I started to do some research and found out that we must use an eye shadow base if we want eyeshadow colors to stay bright and fresh throughout the day.

After trying several different types of eyeshadow base I finally found one that did the trick for me. It is called eye shadow potion from Urban Decay.  This ultra creamy base glides on your lids and leaves the eyelid ready for that perfect shadow color. Not only does your eyeshadow stay on longer but looks much brighter and smoother.  After the Touche Eclat this is another product I will not do without.

Now you can maintain your fresh youthful glow morning and night with bright beautiful eyes.

Touche Eclat from Yves Saint Laurent is the miracle of miracles against dark under eye circles that awake with us every morning that we do not rest fully. So we can start to say goodbye to these ugly dark puffy circles that appear underneath our tired eyes with this what I call my miracle.

This product is the best of the best. Almost all cosmetic lines offer a type of under eye concealer but this product is not only a concealer it is an imperfection corrector. Don’t let other products fool you, Touche Eclat is above the rest.

It is very easy to use, you can take it everywhere and use as a touch up stick over make up. Try it and find the solution to a new brighter you.

2. Stop smoking

3. Brush your teeth three times a day using an adequate whitening toothpaste

4. always use dental floss

5. have a professional dental cleansing twice a year

What we need to remember is that even though we follow these tips our body chemistry and our general health could limit the whiteness of your teeth and we need to seek professional help to help give us the little whitening boost by the use of specific treatments.
