Help for Hives
http://www.skincare-news.com/a-5663-Help_for_Hives.aspx
Hives
happen because of an allergic reaction. Special white blood cells called mast
cells release histamine chemicals into the bloodstream. In turn, histamines
make fluid ooze out of blood vessels into skin tissue. This causes swelling and
raised bumps. Hives is also known as Urticaria, and for many people who suffer
from this condition, pinpointing the cause can be a real challenge. Here, we
look at typical triggers, symptoms and how to handle a case of hives.
Yoga for a Healthy Complexion
http://www.skincare-news.com/a-5643-Yoga_for_a_Healthy_Complexion.aspx
Ever
wonder why yogis seem to have a natural glow about them? Their skin radiates as
if they regularly bathe in dew drops and slumber on rose petals. Yoga is a
system of exercise where the body moves through a series of postures that are
held for specified periods of time, known as asanas. Advanced asanas can be
quite strenuous. Asanas increase blood flow and circulation to skin cells,
helping to purge the body of toxins and impurities. As yogis move through these
difficult postures, the sweat will pour. Sweating is an excellent detoxifier,
ridding skin of dirt, oil, pollution and grime. Find out more about how a
regular yoga practice can contribute to healthier skin.
A Brief History of Beauty

The
products people reach for every day feature cutting-edge technology to cleanse
and hydrate the skin, reduce wrinkles and beautify the face. We’re lucky to
live in an age when safe, effective products are easily accessible.
Historically, however, this wasn’t always the case. Though they didn’t have our
technology at their fingertips, ancient civilizations were able to create
clever, though sometimes dangerous, beauty concoctions. Nail polish originated
in China around 3,000 B.C. The Chinese painted their nails with a polish made
of gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin and beeswax. Ancient Egyptians made soap,
soaked in milk baths to soften their skin, exfoliated with a mixture of crushed
pumice stones and water and moisturized with olive oil. Here, we explore the
not so pretty origins of beauty and the pioneers of modern-day makeup and
skincare.

For
thousands of years, tattoos have been a popular form of body art and
expression. But, whether it’s small, inconspicuous flowers or all-over tribal
tattoos, it’s vital to take good care of a new tattoo. Part of taking good care
of a tattoo is going to an experienced, reputable professional and parlor.
Also, before going to the appointment, it’s important to understand that this
is a pretty invasive process. A tattoo involves the permanent placement of
pigments beneath the surface of the skin using a small, rapidly vibrating
machine. This article will help people understand how to be safe in getting a
tattoo, and how to care for skin after the ink.
