No More Acne

Perhaps the best acne treatment on this planet is water. Acne begins when your skin cells are abused and begin to react abnormally, and water is crucial to your skin’s health. In fact, experts say water is crucial to having soft, youthful skin.

When skin cells are deprived of water (dehydration) this leaves them struggling until replenishment arrives. If you add this to the harsh effects of sun exposure, cold or hot weather, pollution, and air-conditioning, your skin cells can react in several ways, including excess oil (sebum) production, dryness, and acne breakouts.

A typical person loses around 1.5 liters of water a day…not counting the water loss from exercise or sweating on a hot day. Therefore, the admonishment about drinking 6 to 8 glasses of water a day is really good advice.

When skin cells (and the rest of the cells in your body, for that matter) are given sufficient water, they are able to maintain healthy membranes that keep your skin hydrated. If not given sufficient water, however, your cells will not rebuild and will not be able to get rid of the waste products and toxins that accumulate in them.

This further deprives the already dehydrated cell of the oxygen and nutrients it needs to work and cleanse itself properly.

Vitamin B3
Did you know that as low as 9% of Americans eat the recommended 3 to 5 servings of vegetables each day? At best, 3 out of 10 Americans are able to consume enough vitamins to deal with the stresses and conditions that afflict people today, acne being one of the most common.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ, and when you do not consume enough nourishment it will show the first signs of this deprivation.

Experts agree that Vitamin B3 or Niacin is crucial to healthy skin. It improves circulation and helps your body metabolize fats, carbohydrates, and proteins. Acne is a symptom of Niacin deficiency. The recommended dosage for acne sufferers is 200 mg, taken three times a day.

Topical Niacinamide, a Vitamin B3 derivative, has been proven to be more effective against acne than even the popular antibiotic clindamycin. Present in the over the counter acne product, Acnessential (a 4% Niacinamide cream), the B3 derivative was used in studies at the State university of New York against mild to moderately inflammatory and comedonal acne, and found to be effective.

Natural Green Tea
Natural green tea is unfermented, unlike other types of tea. This means it is not oxidized and, therefore, it retains active substances that make it one of the best acne treatments

Green tea contains a high amount of potent antioxidants that make it beneficial in acne prevention. Antioxidants counteract the effects of free radicals in the atmosphere that threaten to damage your cells and tissues.

In studies, green tea was successfully used to:
-fight bacteria;
-reduce inflammation;
-decrease hormone activity; and
-kill staphylococcus aureus, the bacteria that causes bacterium acne.

The Food we are allowed to Eat:

And cattle He has created for you (men): from them ye derive warmth, and numerous benefits, and of their (meat) ye Eat.

What the Believers will Eat in the Paradise?

This meaning is not found in the Bible

43:69-73

[69] (Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills to Ours) in Islam.

[70] Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing.

[71] To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be there all that the souls could desire, all that the eyes could delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for aye).

[72] Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good) deeds (in life).

[73] Ye shall have therein abundance of fruit, from which ye shall have satisfaction.

52:17-19

[17] As to the Righteous, they will be in Gardens, and in Happiness,

[18] Enjoying the (Bliss) which their Lord hath bestowed on them, and their Lord shall deliver them from the Penalty of the Fire.

[19] (To them will be said:) “Eat and drink ye, with profit and health, because of your (good) deeds.”

69:22-24

[22] In a Garden on high,

[23] The Fruits whereof (will hang in bunches) low and near.

[24] “Eat ye and drink ye, with full satisfaction; because of the (good) that ye sent before you, in the days that are gone!”

What the Unbelievers will Eat in the Hell?

This meaning is not found in the Bible.

15:3

Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) Hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them).

2:174

Those who conceal Allah’s revelations in the Book, and purchase for them a miserable profit, they swallow into themselves Naught but Fire; Allah will not address them on the Day of Resurrection, nor purify them: grievous will be their Penalty.

56:50-56

[50] “All will certainly be gathered together for the meeting appointed for a Day well-known.

[51] “Then will ye truly, O ye that go wrong, and treat (Truth) as falsehood!

[52] “Ye will surely taste of the Tree of Zaqqum.”

[53] “Then will ye fill your insides therewith,

[54] “And drink Boiling Water on top of it:

[55] “Indeed ye shall drink like diseased camels raging with thirst!”

[56] Such will be their entertainment on the Day of Requital!

It follows that man is one of two:

47:12

Verily Allah will admit those who believe and do righteous deeds, to Gardens beneath which rivers flow; while those who reject Allah will enjoy (this world) and Eat as cattle Eat; and the Fire will be their abode.

The human skin is as important as any other part of the body without it then life would not be complete. Lack of the outer pigments the human body would not be interesting to look at. Imagine walking on a pavement and you come across someone walking with the inner body organs hanging, what would you do? This is why it is important to take good care of the skin so as to get rid of any kind of damage.

There are five major categories of natural skin care products which are classified as follows: General health, men’s health, women’s health, and skin care and weight loss. Each of the products serves a specific function in maintaining and supporting the skin. Let us take a look at each product and how it is effective to the skin stating with the first one.

The general health of the body is necessary for maintaining the skin. One thing that is a requirement to everyone of us is to check on the thyroid glands since it produces an important hormone to regulate the needs of the body. The thyroid gland also has an important function in maintaining our general health and well being. For example we have the thyromine for general health which is an all natural thyroid supplement that works with the body’s own system to help the thyroid in producing the right amounts of hormones for daily use. One advantage of thyroid is that there is no prescription required, discreet shipping and billing worldwide. So in case you want a bottle of thyroid you just order it online without any extra charges and you will be enjoying your general health.

There are many herbal products that are specifically formulated for men’s health. They include multimineral supplements, hair loss treatments and male virility for a man’s most personal assets. A Mineral Formula with Lycopene and Saw Palmetto for prostate health is usually created for the rigorous physical and mental demands on a modern man, the Ultra Herbal Men’s Health Formula are also formulated to support men’s chemistry.

For women, their health is also as important as that of men because it is they who carry out most of the activities. It is known that a woman’s beauty lies in the hair and this saying has some truth it because women get too stressed when they experience hair loss. Provillus for women have brought hope to many as it is designed to support growth from the inside. This product also provides nutritional support that is required from every woman in maintaining optimum hair growth and normal follicle to feel good and look great.

The skin is an important part of the body so everyone should take good care of it at all time. There are several products that are responsible for increasing the skin appearance. An example is the Rivitol which get rid of stretch marks.

A skin care tip you can use

It’s like clockwork. Every few days a new skin cream hits the market with loads of publicity and advertisements being aired everywhere – on the TV, radio, the internet – you name it. You get sucked in by the hype and buy the cream only to find out later that it’s just the same as the other ones you have tried and thrown away.

Here’s the most useful skin care tip you will find anywhere – stop buying those new products getting launched every day!

Fact is – most of these products are just rehashed and repackaged versions of the old products. There is nothing new in them to make them more effective. They contain the same old chemical ingredients that do more harm than good to your skin.

Instead of looking for that one magic skin cream that can make your skin beautiful overnight, you need to understand that you have to be healthy from inside to have a beautiful skin. If your body is deficient in essential nutrients, you cannot hope to have a healthy skin.

So begin with a balanced diet that contains enough fruits and vegetables. This will make sure your body (and your skin) gets the minerals and vitamins it needs to function properly.

Drink plenty of water. This will keep your skin hydrated and your body free from toxins.

Protect your skin from harsh weather conditions. Applying a good sunscreen before going out in the sun will protect your skin from the damage caused by the UV rays of the sun. Sunglasses, hats, scarves – they are all meant to protect your skin from the elements. Make good use of them.

Once you have all this in place, then your skin cream will really be able to show some benefits for your skin. Here’s an additional skin care tip – think natural when it comes to choosing a skin care product.

Too many common products contain harsh chemicals which cause serious problems down the road. You can avoid all of this by using natural substances only. Not only are they safe, but more effective too.

Look for natural ingredients like Phytessence Wakame. This Japanese sea kelp nourishes the skin with vitamin B complex and minerals like calcium, iron and potassium. It protects the skin from the UV rays of the sun and prevents the formation of age spots on it.

Cynergy TK is an extract from the wool of New Zealand sheep. It promotes the production of Collagen and Elastin in the skin which help in keeping it smooth and wrinkle free.

Natural oils like Avocado and Macadamia moisturize the skin naturally and make it soft and supple.

In conclusion, my skin care tip for you is to just avoid shiny new creams. Trust only Mother Nature to keep your skin fresh, young and healthy.
