How To Treat Rosacea
Filed Under Heart Burn, Skin | 1 Comment
Over 13 million North Americans suffer from rosacea.It is most commonly seen in those people who have fair skin and is sometimes referred to as the “Curse of the Celts” or a “Peaches and Cream” complexion.
Onset usually occurs between 20-40 years of age.
Rosacea is a long lasting, non-scarring skin condition of the face that is often misdiagnosed as adult acne. It varies in severity and does not always worsen with time. Typically, you will experience inappropriate flushing that is not usually associated with sweating and/or persistent facial redness. It is common to have broken blood vessels, telangiectasias, on your cheeks. You may also experience bouts of inflammation that cause red papules (small bumps) or pustules. However, comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) are not part of rosacea.

A deep tissue massage done by a trained professional can cost consumers quite a bit of money- sometimes up in the hundreds of dollars in expenses. But one brand of massager is seeking to change all of this with its revolutionary design and functionality as a deep tissue massager- all without the help from a professional.
The Thumper massage device is so easy to use, that literally anyone could use the device. This is exactly what the creators of the device were hoping for, as it is now possible for anyone to help use the product without any previous massage therapy classes. This saves consumers time and money, as compared to going with the more expensive professional route.

By Allyson Gofton
Your friends have finally gone home but the mess remains. And it’s not just the pots, pans and plates. Your finest damask napkins have been splashed with red wine, the matching placemats are coated with wax from the designer candles and then there’s the children! Fruit juice and chocolate everywhere. Oh Hell!
While the supermarket aisles may be filled with the latest and greatest products to refresh and restore our clothes and linens, there’s no better answer to food stains than removing them while they are fresh. Leaving a stain will give it time to set, so act fast – even if it is Saturday night.

How To Take Care Of Youself Using Magnesium
Filed Under Heart Burn, Minerals | 2 Comments
Magnesium is a very important mineral for correct body function. It is essential for nerve impulse, cell and muscular function. Many enzymes depend on magnesium as a co-factor, this is specifically true for enzymes involved in the production of adenosin triphospate (ATP – cell energy) and reactions involved in the breakdown of food carbohydrate, fat and protein. Magnesium, in a way, has a strangle hold over the energy supplies and energy-using processes of the cell, which makes even a marginal magnesium deficiency a significant risk for cell vitality.
Magnesium is also an important element in the overall balance of acid/alkalis within the body. For body health an alkalis environment is important for the body to be able to function properly. However, todays life style leads towards an acid environment, creating a magnesium deficient environment.
Stress is also placed on body magnesium levels with the use of antibiotics, some chemotherapy agents used in cancer treatment, diuretics and alcohol. Sugar inhibits magnesium absorption and sodium excess expels magnesium from the cell.
An acute state is usually the result of a sudden massive magnesium loss due to repeated vomiting, diarrhoea, ulcerative colitis, kidney problems or extreme alcoholism. Acute deficiency upsets the nerve and muscle functions creating a range of problems.

How To Decide What Makeup Product To Buy
Filed Under Health, Heart Burn | 1 Comment
Regardless of the extent of your routine, every morning millions of woman wake up and put their makeup on.
Makeup is far from a new idea. The oldest archaeological evidence of makeup is found in ancient Egypt and dated around 4000BC. It has been a part of many cultures for centuries. The Greeks and the Romans used it, as did the Persians and the Chinese. Queen Elizabeth I is famous for her makeup – the white mask of youth. Queen Victoria is famous for her abhorrence of it, publicly declaring makeup improper, vulgar and acceptable for use only by actors.
Today we look back and cringe when we think of our female predecessors applying products with mercury or lead to their faces and not realising what sort of side effects it would have. But the truth is, today we apply any number of products that are absorbed by our skin, often without really knowing what they contain. We trust that the brand has our best interests at heart, but sadly, in some cases, the bottom line can be more important than the quality of the ingredients.
There is a growing awareness and preference, both here and overseas, for skincare and cosmetics that are more naturally based and do not contain ‘toxic’ ingredients. There are many studies that have found alarming links between commonly used cosmetic ingredients and serious health conditions. Ingredients like Sodiumlauryle Sulphate (SLS) and Parabens have been known to cause eczema and contact dermatitis and can actually lead to premature aging. Along with this personal concern, there is also a move to make sure that the companies producing these products are behaving in an ethical and responsible manner. Despite ongoing campaigns, many companies still test their products on animals and still include ingredients known to be potentially harmful to humans and the environment.
With so many products on the market, it can often being a daunting experience approaching any beauty counter. So as a consumer, how do you decide?
It is important to read labels and ask questions. Look for a range of makeup that:
- contains natural and organic ingredients
- does not contain parabens, SLS or petroleum derivatives
- does not test on animals
- does not use excessive packaging Couleur Caramel is an innovative range of make-up that combines natural ingredients and up to date technology to give you professional quality makeup without compromise. The products contain the purest vegetable and mineral ingredients, which provide optimum care for your skin.
The Couleur Caramel philosophy is Respect – for humans, animals, the environment and our planet.
