Women's Dresses - Know Your Type

IE 7 ]>

What Size Am I?

Women who shop online for clothes usually know their dress size or US size, but not their full body measurements. It is already puzzling to have to shop at different stores like Forever 21, Zara, H&M, ASOS and have to deal with non-standardized sizing, but to not have your own body measurements and wanting to shop online to find affordable and chic clothes would be a disaster.

I would like to highlight that the best way to shop online is to know your own body measurements and then shop at online stores that provide good clothing measurements. The more detailed the clothing measurements the webstore gives, I believe, the more serious they are of making sure you fit into the piece you are thinking of buying.

Finding your own dress size gives you a good starting point to finding a good fit. Just knowing your dress size though, is only good at brick and mortar retail stores where you can try them on. If you buy online, two stores selling a US size 6 may have totally different measurements entirely! So get your own body size.

Here's how to measure your body size:

What you need?

1. A tailors measuring tape (those soft flexible fabric looking ones)

2. If you don't have a measuring tape, find a string or thin rope. Use it to take point, then measure the points with a ruler.

Upper Body - For tops, shirts, blouse, tees, tunics, cardigans

1. Measure your bust/chest size which is the fullest part of your chest. Bust/chest size.

2. With help from a friend, measure your shoulders from tip to tip. Shoulder length.

3. Measure around your waist at the smallest part of your mid section. Waist size.

4. Measure your upper arms (bicep area). It is useful to know how the armholes fit in that top. Arm.

Lower Body - For pants, skirts, tights

1. Measure your waist at the smallest part of your mid section.

2. Measure the widest part of your hips. If you do not know where to measure, try around 6-7 inches below your waist.

3. Measure your inseam which is the inside part of your leg from the crotch to the feet. This measurement will let you know whether you need your pants hemmed or not or if it is too short for our height.

4. Take note of the rise of the bottoms you plan to purchase. If it is a low rise pants, then the waist size provided for the pants would be larger depending on how low it rests on your hips.

For an illustration, this is how retailers measure the clothing they stock. By understanding how retailers or manufacturers measure the clothing pieces and knowing your own body measurements, hopefully the next time you purchase something online, that piece should fit you to a T!

Now you are ready to take on the online women's clothes shopping world by storm!

If you want to find clothes that fit you when it arrives in the mail, find a Women's Fashion Online Clothing Store that takes clothing measurement details seriously.

Status of Widows In India And How They Are Treated

On April 29. 2012, I went to bed troubled in spirit. You see, there are THOUSANDS of women in India who are abandoned, cast aside, ostracized, and left to spend their remaining lives as beggars. All because they lost their husbands. In the holy city of Vrindavan, otherwise called "City Of Widows", women come together for 3 hours a day and chant to the girlfriend of their god in return for a scoop of rice and several rupees (in US currency, about 6 cents). Yes they may have extended family, children and the like, but because they are WIDOWS, their families believe they are financial burdens.

My first question was who decided this would become the tradition of India? Someone had to come up with the ideology that women who lose their husbands are burdens, worthless, and unfit. THAT is the danger of ideology. It starts as a thought, and if BELIEVED, begins to shape the mindset and actions of the individual. If that individual happens to be a person of power, the beliefs spread and can infect an entire society. Think Hitler. And if not challenged, it can infect generations and generations to come. It's understandable why many people won't challenge an ideology. If this is "just how we do things" or "this is how it's always been" why challenge it?

Normally people in positions of power benefit from the ideologies. It takes someone in that position of power to step OUTSIDE of themselves for the greater good. For example, the men of India obviously benefit more than the women in terms of status and other cultural benefits, so why would a man challenge the status quo? It would take a man to step OUT of his cultural comfort zone, put himself in a woman's shoes (so to speak), and challenge the system of his society. It takes guts, courage, and compassion to do so.

Ideologies come in many forms: political, cultural, racial, gender, religious, familial, marital, etc. Again, the ones who benefit are normally the ones who are in some position of power. That position of power is sometimes by choice or by default. For example, if you're born white, whether you want to admit it or not or even realize it, that puts you in a position of power and privilege here in America. If you're a man, same thing, if you're heterosexual, if you're non-disabled, etc. Whatever group is in the majority, that group is in a position of power. NOW what are you going to do with that power? Will you continue to spread certain ideologies that aren't beneficial for the greater good? Remember all it takes is a thought that was passed on to you or me that continues to spread throughout society. Those ideologies are triggered when we come in contact with groups of people that go against what our ideology says. For example, I'm told that disabled people can't do much. That's probably how I would treat them as well. Not in a negative way, but I would likely pamper and treat them as if they're hopeless, and would try to do everything for them. BUT that ideology has been challenged in many many ways. Great examples are Helen Keller, Michael J. Fox, Itzhak Perlman, Toni Erickson Tada, etc. So NOW I have the choice: am I going to continue to spread my ideology or am I going to SHIFT MY THINKING and spread what has been proven otherwise. It doesn't matter what the majority of a group does or doesn't do, if ONE person does something different, then that means there are OTHERS who can do the same or are doing the same. I hope this makes sense. It takes EACH of us to change the status quo, to change the negative traditions of our society, to HELP those who are being targeted by our thinking.

The flip side, it is up to the "victims" NOT to believe what certain ideologies say about them! If you're a woman, you don't have to believe that all you're good for is getting married and having babies. If that is your choice, that is one thing. If you're black, you don't have to believe that it's the white man's fault the reason you don't prosper or get ahead in life. Again, you have a choice! What do YOU believe about YOURSELF?

One thing I LOVE about Christianity is I believe it's a religion of freedom! Any pastor or church that preaches otherwise, RUN. LOL My heart goes out to the widows in India, because I KNOW God sees them differently. The first part of James 1:27 (Amplified) is: "External [a]religious worship [[b]religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need". I'm sure God in all His awesomeness doesn't mind if this pure outward expression of worship extends to ANYONE who is in affliction and need. ALL GROUPS who are "victims" of erroneous ideologies. Let's pray that the widows in Vrindavan will see themselves the way God does, and that India be changed for the cause of Christ.

How to Be Trendy This Summer

Women like fancy outfits and they want to be trendy all the time. Well, at least this is the case with most women. If winter is all about feeling warm and comfortable, things change when the first rays of sun show up in the sky. But, don't forget, for each spring summer season, the fashion world has new rules. What was in last year is not necessarily trendy this year. Although you cannot change your wardrobe on an annual basis, there are some tricks you can use to remain trendy.

So, which are the main fashion trends for spring summer 2013? What kind of outfits are we going to put on this year? Take a look at the main tendencies and you will certainly find something for you as 2013 is a generous year when it comes to fashion.

Flowers, tropical jungle and ethnic inspiration

These are the main three concepts you have to consider if you want to be trendy this summer. While floral patterns are practically a leit-motif for each hot season, this year's novelty lies mostly in the inspiration fashion designers found in the unexplored jungles as well as in the distant Asian continent, from where they brought a wide range of prints: peacock, snake, leopard, hibiscus or lotus flowers, etc. They feature dresses, shirts, but also accessories like scarves and bags.

Another thing coming from the fascinating Far East - the kimono cut is very trendy this year. If the traditional kimono type is too much for you, just take it as a general guideline. A glance at this season's collections will show you that the kimono cut is suitable for dresses, jackets and shirts equally.

Retro, vintage... 50s and 60s

Another thing to consider if you want to be trendy during the spring summer of 2013 is that fashion trends work in cycles. The designers find inspiration in the surrounding world as well as in the past. This year the preference goes to the 50s and 60s and you can be in fashion wearing an A-shaped skirt, a psychedelic patterned outfit, orby adopting the famous yé-yé look once embodied by Twiggy, Francoise Hardy and Jane Birkin.

Remember Audrey Hepburn's dress? This iconic cut is very fashionable, too. Combine it with polka dots and you are will make many pairs of eyes turn after you.

But the retro trend does not refer solely to cuts and iconic items. It can come in the form of a fabric, or technique, such as knitting or crocheting. Many years considered grandma's thing, crocheted dresses are back.

Color block, pastel, total white, black and white, red, iridescent...

Indeed, the chromatic palette of spring summer 2013 is very generous. All the above mentioned themes are in. So, there is something here for everyone. Whether you prefer a more daring look with color blocking patterns, you want to go for total purity and innocence, or, on the contrary you are more into red dresses, anything is permitted. When it comes to pastel colors, remember the nude pink is the tone for 2013.

Single Moms For Financial Freedom

Chances are, you've considered or daydreamed about the possibility of "working from home online." Wouldn't it be amazing to work out of the comfort of your home, doing work you love that inspires you, while creating your own schedule that allows you to be available for your kids and best of all, make some reliable automated income so you can finally get some sleep at night?

Here are some things to consider when turning your daydreams into reality:

1. Your mindset includes your thoughts and beliefs and whether you know it or not, these thoughts and beliefs are controlling you, dictating your behaviors moment by moment. It's important to evaluate your beliefs and where they stem from. When it comes to money, most people adopted their parents' beliefs before they were old enough to go to Kindergarten. If you have the belief that there is "not enough money" guess what's going to show up in your life? Not enough money. It's extremely important to change your "relationship" and beliefs about money, first and foremost, or it's never going to matter if you have a brilliant entrepreneurial idea. Emmanuel Dagher's "4 step process to heal your relationship with money" is amazing.

2. Your Faith is more important than ever right now. Trust that whatever financial hardship you are going through is/was designed for your greater good, essentially purifying you from old negative beliefs. The deep yearning for more is calling you to take massive action! Your faith will keep you focused and bring you back from fear and despair. Your faith assures and reminds you that you are a magnificent being sourced with abundant love; therefore judgment has no business putting you down. Your brilliance is emerging, regardless what is going on externally.

3. The more you remind yourself of your magnificent love, the less you'll have to worry about self-doubt and judgment. Remember, like attracts like, so if you stay stuck in self-loathing, you'll attract more of it into your life. Instead, be more "like" the people you like! If you want to earn more money, study and learn from people earning more money! There are countless FREE trainings, teleseries, blog posts, tutorial videos, etc. All you need is a willingness to learn and expand and let a Google Search lead the way.

4. Your skill set must include communication and connecting. You're going to have a very hard time making money online if you can't stay connected with people longer than the initial interaction. People do NOT open up their wallets to strangers very often. You must build a relationship with your leads and help them solve their problems. You must be a "pain killer" in some way, shape or form.

5. If you're going to be a stellar "pain killer" you'll need a stellar product or service that you wholeheartedly believe in; preferably something that you use and love.

6. Lastly, to earn money online, you need people (in other words "leads"). Preferably NOT your friends and family.

Once you find a product or service that you are passionate about and your "WHY" is crystal clear, hand-written on paper, find someone you respect and admire who's in the "online money game" and start paying attention! You don't have to re-invent the wheel, just simply do what they do!

What Is Mother's Day All About?

Breastfeeding is a natural process which babies rely on to survive. Many mothers breastfeed their babies for the first year of their lives, moving onto formula and pasted foods before giving them chunks of food and whole pieces of food. For many mothers, Mother's Day is no day to relax, and instead is a day like any other when they spend every waking moment caring for their child as it has no way of caring for itself.

Fathers of new born babies can help to make Mother's Day more enjoyable by buying presents for the new mother from their new baby. These presents can be anything, something the mother really wants usually, as the mother won't have had time to get anything for herself for a while with a new born baby. Fathers need to make Mother's Day as enjoyable as possible, which is their responsibility for at least the first five years of a child's life.

For new mothers the opportunity to live Mother's Day will be a concept they can't comprehend, as they're too busy caring for their child, but this is living Mother's Day. The day is about celebrating all that mothers do for a family, and what is more essential to life than giving birth and feeding a baby? Breast milk is food produced by a mother, meaning there's nothing better for a baby to drink, and by breastfeeding on Mother's Day they can really get into the theme of the occasion by being all that they can be as a mother.

Breastfeeding on Mother's Day has nothing to do with the washing up or cooking, meaning it's one of the few things that a mother can do and think that she is really making a difference to the life of what will grow up to be a person. Without breastfeeding children would stand little chance of growing to be healthy and happy human beings, and even if mothers are using formula they can still get that feeling of providing something essential to life on a day that celebrates how much they do. The first Mother's Day for a mother will always be unappreciated, as they won't have been doing a lot of different things for the family yet. As time goes on mothers pick up more jobs and they get much busier, meaning they have many more jobs and responsibilities to the family, and need to take them seriously to provide for their family properly.

Face Lightening Cream, Let's Face It

Today, the world over, markets are flooded with creams for every body part. Also, creams come in a huge variety like some for moisturizing, some for cleansing, and some for glow. Another type of cream that is very popular among women is face lightening cream. This cream is usually high in demand because of, only one reason that usually such creams fulfill a lot of other purposes like that of an anti-ageing cream, anti-wrinkle cram, under eye cream, de-tan cream, face bleaching, fairness cream and so on. Women these days don't seem to have a lot of time on their hands to take very good care of their face and skin. It is next to impossible to be able to use all the above mentioned creams on a regular basis or for a specified duration. Hence cosmetic manufacturers came up with this idea to take the best from all such creams and make an all-in-one cream that caters to these needs. Face lightening cream fits all criteria perfectly. They have a pleasant scent, revitalize and restore skin functions, improve the cell growth and also limit sebum secretion acting like an obstacle for the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The main job of a face lotion is to smoothen, soften, and re-hydrate the skin. It rejuvenates the skin making you feel fresher and younger. Some lotions also contain fragrances. One important aspect that we should keep in mind before buying any product that has to be used on the skin is that it is a properly and dermatological tested product. Skin is the largest organ and is generally sensitive. A good face lotion is one that cleanses your skin deeply, does not clog pores and at the same time nourishes the skin, giving natural protection to the skin. Women have become really conscious about the way they look and they way they present themselves. They are not just limited to the household anymore and have started working. Long working hours, increasing stress levels, and pressure of work load makes our flower like soft skin, welt. Also, with such a hectic life, it's difficult to manage to go to the parlor for facial massages and other ways to pamper your skin. Face lotions make your life a little easy in this context because now you can pamper your skin without having to run to the parlor. Its quick and you can use them whenever and wherever you want.

Another treat for your skin is a good face wash. Dirt and impurities have a tendency to penetrate deep into your skin. Women prefer using a face wash that can remove make-up, oil, dead skin, dirt and other kinds of pollutants, prevent skin conditions like acne and clogging of pores. These are some of the major complaints that women and girls have. It is recommended to wash your face at least twice a day accompanied with a toner or moisturizer or both. Face wash comes in a mind boggling variety to choose from, depending on your skin type. Those with acne prone skin or sensitive skin prefer using one that has components like tea tree oil, turmeric, aloe vera etc whereas those who have dry or dehydrated skin opt for one that is creamy, moisturizer-type cleanser. Face washes that contain lemon extract are good for those who have an oily skin. There are numerous other face washes for fairer and more glowing skin.

However, some face washes may rub your skin the wrong way and incite allergic responses such as rashes, itching, redness and patchy skin. People who have such sensitive skin should look for a facial cleanser for sensitive skin that has a balanced level of pH, less irritants and keeps the skin soft and moisturized even after washing or cleansing. It is very important to pick the right kind of face wash for your skin. The face is the most important part of your look and thus you must not take any risks or experiments with it. Mostly, people are born with sensitive skin. On the other hand, some develop a kind of sensitivity over the years, after some accident or after a surgery. Sensitive skin requires more care and attention and so the concept of a facial cleanser for sensitive skin came into being. These cleansers are not harsh on the skin, are skin friendly and have no harmful side affects, whatsoever. Even with all these factors, they still perform the primary job of a cleanser excellently, that is cleaning your face and making you feel comfortable in your skin.

Breastfeeding Myths And The Reality

Myth number one is the supposed fact that not a lot of women breastfeed and in fact it's a bit weird when a mother chooses to do so. This is completely wrong, as around seventy eight per cent of women say they breastfeed in the UK alone. When women say that breastfeeding is uncommon they usually mean their mother didn't do it and they won't be doing so as a result. Women who use this excuse are usually afraid of what breastfeeding might do to their appearance.

The second big myth around breastfeeding is that it will make breasts sag. There's no proof that breastfeeding does make breasts sag, but there are two huge factors which are the actual culprits of sagging breasts. Aging is one reason that many women's breasts sag, as the tissues stretch due to being a certain age. Gaining weight can also result in breasts sagging, as the body distributes weight over different areas, and the breasts are one point where a lot of excess weight can be stored.

The third well-known myth about breastfeeding is that formula is basically the same as breast milk. Nothing is as good for babies as breast milk, as it contains living bacteria produced by the mother which help builds a strong and healthy immune system. Formula is packed full of nutrients, vitamins and minerals, but still doesn't hold a torch to the benefits of breast milk. For mothers who don't believe there is a difference, it has been proven that babies who were given formula have a noticeably weaker immunity to diseases and illnesses when they're older.

The fourth common myth about breastfeeding is that women breastfeeding in public is something people don't like to see. Surveys have shown most people don't really mind women breastfeeding in public, as it's a natural process and necessary for the life of a child. Today there are many products which make breastfeeding much more discreet such as ponchos, so there's really nothing anyone can say about it making them uncomfortable as they can't see it.

The fifth myth over breastfeeding is that to some women it isn't possible or they can't produce enough milk and so should resort to formula. Like with anything in life, the body needs time to adapt to having to create so much breast milk every day, and for a couple of weeks it might seem as though a mother can't produce enough, but every mother has the ability to adapt to what her child needs, with the only exceptions being due to infections.

The final common myth associated with breastfeeding is that women can't have a sex life if they do breastfeed. For some women it may be a year until they feel comfortable with having sex with their partner again, but this is due to a number of other reasons, not breastfeeding. When having sex women produce the same hormone as they do when breastfeeding, oxytocin. As a result they might produce a little breast milk during sex, but a couple who are bonded enough to have a baby together shouldn't find this a problem at all.

Survival of the Fittest or Survival of the Best Mothers?

Not long ago, I was discussing the challenges with the "survival of the fittest" theory when it came to evolution. You see, evolutionary theory is broken into several categories and survival of the fittest is a component of all that. It basically states that those members of the species which are the most fit live long enough to procreate, and the others just get eaten or die prior to that point, thus their genes do not survive into the future. That's a pretty easy concept to comprehend and it makes logical sense. Okay so, let's talk shall we?

Now then, it may very well be that the strongest warriors went out in battle to fight, and fighting is a problem because people get hurt and killed, therefore many of the strongest end up perishing. Remember will, bravery, strength, and intelligence are only part of the necessary attributes to survive in battle, another is luck. So, just because you are one with all those fighting skills, well that doesn't mean you are guaranteed to survive any given battle, much less many on end forever, well until your time is up.

Meanwhile if you are busy fighting battles you are not back in the village bedding down with all the women left behind who need serving. Thus, weaker genes get passed on as well, actually in that scenario, more often right? Sure you can see that point too, which also makes perfect sense as you reason this line of thinking. If the weaker men are left in the village they pass on their genes more, until of course that village is raided by other marauders and they are besieged and eliminated.

Yes, being a human in past periods was indeed a real problem, or very challenging. The women may have been raped and killed, but the strongest probably survived and gave birth to offspring, thus, in many regards it's not about the survival of the fittest men, but survival of the fittest woman. Indeed, as a man this makes me smile, even if it is a hard-hit to the ego. Still, the woman who reasoned all this and presented it to me as a point of contention did make some interesting points right?

So, maybe when it comes to this particular component of the "survival of the fittest" perhaps we might consider this and think about it on a deeper level is all that I am saying here today. So, do with this information what you will and if you'd like to pick up where these questions leave off, shoot me an email at your earliest convenience.

Why Women Suffer Discrimination

It is a horrible thing to be passed over because of one's sexuality. Women in all walks of life throughout the world are discriminated against and the pain, in some cases, is almost unbearable. It might not be visible pain as depression and psychiatric problems are largely the outcome. So the question is why is it the case that male dominated organisations and industries avoid female participation and equality?

Religions are mostly to blame and where there is a large religious footprint over a society the discrimination appears to be worse. The areas at the top of the list would be those under the influence of Islam, Hindu and Christianity. In the first two areas the likelihood of death for sexual perversion hangs over them. Meanwhile the women of the west who think they have freedom may be surprised to know that there are many ways they are subjected to male domination and sexual abuse.

The so-called glass ceiling stops women in their tracks in many businesses where they would obviously be the better choice for the top job. Schools are also prone to discriminate and girls may receive a different form of education than their male peers. They also have to achieve higher marks to try out for the same type of work.

Discrimination also involves the way women are expected to dress and decorate themselves. Make-up, for instance, is just that and yet without it a woman is deemed unattractive if she has things on her face to cover up. This has created a profitable industry in itself. Painting one's eyes, lips and skin also has health hazards attached. Itchy eyes and dry cracked skin is often the result.

Watching women walking in high heels is another issue. The feet are so out of alignment with the spine at every step that one sees the trouble looming of bad backs and spinal related injuries, such as a slipped disc or two. While they cannot be that comfortable to wear they are in much the same boat as the short skirt that often allows a woman's underwear to be seen, especially on elevators and when she sits down.

The contradiction here is that women are not appreciated for their intelligence but only for the sexual pleasures they give to men. One must ask, therefore, where the thinking behind these things is derived.

The Hindu and Muslim women hide their bodies in large robes and often shield their face from view by strangers. That protects them from some abuse that could lead to their being blamed for the sexual acts of the men who would rape or murder them.

In all societies the behaviour and discrimination against women is fear dominated. Women fear not being wanted and are put down because of their threat to male power. Men fear women who may outsmart and outperform their efforts so they start early to undermine them. Humans are the same over and the power of the male ego to percolate always to the top is what women have to fight and or avoid.

You Pick Up That Facial Cleanser, Read The Products Label

At the end of each day, when your face is rife with pollutants of all kinds, it's best to clean up with a reliable facial cleanser. But with a vast range of facial cleansers in cosmetics shops, how can you know which one to go with?

One way of finding out is to read the product label which comprises all the ingredients that go to make up the product that you're holding in your hand. If you read the following names, you've got a really good product:

Glycolic Acid: A natural derivative of sugar cane, this is part of the class of ingredients known as Alpha Hydroxy Acids or AHA. Glycolic Acid is a natural exfoliator. It removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells that lie on the skin surface and make room for fresh skin to reach the surface. If you are looking for anti-aging benefits through Glycolic Acid, you can be sure of this. It also contributes to discoloring the skin of damage such as sun spots. You can find Glycolic Acid in different kinds of cleansers such as moisturizers, eye creams, serums and face peels.

Coenzyme Q10: This ingredient is known for its ability to reverse the signs of aging by fighting free radicals and reducing the extent of their skin cell havoc. By choosing this ingredient in your face cleanser, you give yourself the chance to reverse aging signs, present clean and tight skin and improve your skin's look. It also helps expedite cell repair and produces enough energy to grow and maintain skin cells. It is also an effective ingredient of face cleansers because it penetrates seven layers of skin to tone them, freshen them up, smoothen them out and keep them damage-free.

Coenzyme Q10 also stimulates blood circulation and works as an antioxidant. Each time we are exposed to the sun, it is eliminated from our skin surface and replaced by environmental pollution. So, it's necessary to replenish the skin with this wonderful ingredient every day.

Acetyl Hexapeptide-8: This ingredient of face cleansers is unique for being an amino-peptide developed clinically to lower the amount of facial wrinkles and diminish the premature signs of aging. Just like its cousin Acetyl Hexapeptide 3, it is economical, a good alternative to injections and surgical procedures and temporarily restrains an overproduction of neurotransmitters that control the depth of facial muscle contractions.

This action restricts the development of wrinkles that give one a prematurely old look. When used along with Acetyl Hexapeptide 3 and 30, Acetyl Hexapeptide 8 lowers the number of wrinkles and age lines.

When this ingredient is made part of face creams or wrinkle creams, you get immediate results in terms of reduced wrinkles because Acetyl Hexapeptide 8 penetrates the skin immediately and gets down to the work of relaxing the facial muscles. This results in facial wrinkles and fine lines being immediately reduced.

Other ingredients to look out for are:
Kaolin: It absorbs oil and pulls out dirt from the skin.
Active Manuka Honey: It is rich in antioxidants and encourages the immune system to withstand diseases.
Macadamia Oil: It is absorbed into the skin easily and protects skin cells from premature aging

Shea Butter: It is a natural moisturizer.

Ingredients in face cleansers to avoid: Just as there are ingredients in cleansers that you should look out for, there are harmful ones too that you should avoid. Some of them are:

Parabens: This ingredient is used as a preservative in all cosmetics. It comprises Butyl, Ethyl, Propyl, Methyl and Parahydroxybenzoate. Good facial cleansers will not use Parabens as they are known to lead to breast cancer and cause harm to the male reproductive system. They also cause skin rash and allergic reactions in users of these products. Parabens are used in face and body moisturizers, cleansers and body washes.

Pthalates: This group of ingredients is also known to lead to cancer and several kinds of health problems in regular users of products that include them.

Fragrances: Fragrances that are used in face creams or cleansers are artificial and made of either coal or petroleum or coal which are bio-degradable and lead to skin irritations. They are made with cheap synthetic substances with similar fragrance of products that are already in existence.

Other ingredients to avoid: These include triclosan, mineral oil, dioxane, petrolatum and nitrosamines, apart from any other alcohol-based product which cause skin irritation. If the product label you're looking at has any of these ingredients, drop it and move on to something else.

Enjoy The Goodness Of Mineral Makeup And Delay The Signs Of Aging For Another Decade

As we grow older and begin to lose our natural coloring, our skin tone turns dull and our skin loses its natural elasticity and stretches, we feel the need for some extra help which will give us a semblance of our youthful looks. How did so many changes come about in our faces suddenly? How come we didn't find these changes when we look at ourselves in the mirror every day?

That's when we need to conceal all our facial flaws with makeup. But this makeup should really be different as it should address all the problems we've just discovered about ourselves. Aging skin can receive the necessary kind of help in the shape of mineral makeup, which has been used for centuries by the Egyptians and other civilizations.
How mineral makeup helps aging skin: When women begin to age, their skin undergoes several kinds of changes. For one, the skin begins to lose its natural elasticity and collagen, the proteins inside the skin that works on enhancing and tightening the skin are no longer produced as much as in one's youth.

As a result, the skin loses its firmness and begins to sag. The skin also cannot recover as well as before in terms of skin damage and scarring. However, what the skin cannot do externally, we can do internally: so, women can improve the condition of their skin by eating a diet rich in Vitamins A, C and E and so reverse the obvious signs of aging.

Benefits:
• It is natural makeup which is devoid of any chemicals, or talc, preservatives and dyes, thereby negating the chance of contracting any skin irritation.
• It also helps reverse the signs of aging.
• It helps conceal all your fine lines, scars and age marks by providing lighter coverage and an even skin tone.
• It doesn't damage the skin surface or cause any irritation or cause any dryness or oiliness.
• It suits all complexions.
• It also contains SPF, which protects your skin from UVB and UVA rays.

Ingredients: Mineral makeup comprises natural ingredients taken from the earth, such as:
• Titanium dioxide: It provides enough opacity and coverage to hide blemishes and protects the skin against UV radiation.
• Bismuth oxychloride: This gives a pearly sheen to cosmetics and is therefore preferred by cosmeticians.
• Zinc oxide: This helps to hide skin blemishes and acts as a natural sunscreen that keeps UV rays away from you.
• Mica: Mica helps reduce the number of wrinkles on your face.
• Iron oxides: This is available in a large selection of colors and is used for colorization in mineral makeup.

3 top ingredients to look out for: These are standard ingredients of mineral makeup products, but there are some superior products available in the market that go one step further than this to include three stellar ingredients that do an amazing job of reversing the clock on mature skin to leave it fresh, light, glowing, blemish-free, smooth and even-toned. These three ingredients are:

Green tea extracts: Green tea extracts consist of antioxidants or polyphenols that play a very important role in preventing skin from aging and improving its condition. It reduces skin inflammation, prevents wrinkles from forming and diminishes those present, protects the skin against any future collagen breakdown and keeps the skin looking and feeling smooth.
Green tea extracts are also 100% natural and you can soon see the visible signs of aging reducing. Lastly, it is gentle enough to be used on all skin types.

Vitamin A: This natural ingredient heals flawed skin and strengthens it against the ravages of time. It also prevents any wrinkle formation, protects the sun from damaging UV rays, brings a unique radiance to the face and keeps one looking younger for much longer. Also known as Retinol, Vitamin A is a natural antioxidant and, in this capacity, helps increase the skin cells' production which, in turn, helps repair the skin cells damaged by UV rays. It also gives you a smoother and even-toned complexion without fine lines or wrinkles.

Vitamin E: Another important antioxidant, Vitamin E protects the skin cells from free radicals' damage. It also protects the skin from UV rays' exposure, age spots and sun damage. To reduce the signs of aging and prevent wrinkle formation, Vitamins C and E should be taken together orally or in a cream which has the goodness of Vitamin A, also in combination with green tea extracts and other reputed mineral makeup components. In a study published in Journal of Dermatology Treatment, it was found that when Vitamin E was applied on the skin, it improved by 39%.
