</b></span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 10pt;">The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate to begin with. As we age, skin and the fat pad under the eyes becomes thinner, causing blood vessels to become </span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: 10pt;">noticeable. This gives the appearance of dark circles. Sun damage can make it worse because it weakens skin. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #20124d;">Allergies and Hay fever</span><br />

In your underarms Apocrine glands open into your hair follicles, secreting a sweat. Because the areas of your body that contain apocrine glands also tend to be places that are warm and confined, the moistness can cause them to become a breeding ground for the <u>bacteria that causes body odor. </u></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eating certain foods such as garlic, onions, fish, curry, hot peppers and other spicy foods, and even alcohol can make your underarm odor smell worse. Research has also shown that eating red meat can also worsen underarm odor, whereas a diet without it might improve the smell. </span><br />

Remember to keep your clothes clean, and always avoid re-wearing clothes between washings, particularly those that you use for exercising. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are also foods that researchers believe might help get rid of underarm odor. Drinking plenty of water and eating fruits, vegetables and whole grains should improve your overall health and metabolic function, which helps your body to work more efficiently. </span><br />

Antiperspirants work by clogging, closing, or blocking the pores with powerful astringents such as aluminum salts so that they can’t release sweat. (Note that aluminum can accumulate in the brain.) Deodorants work by neutralizing the smell of the sweat and by antiseptic action against bacteria. Deodorants are preferable because they don’t interfere with sweating, a natural cooling process.</span><br />

These are commonly known as crow's </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">feet. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Besides </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">just getting </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">older, our everyday lifestyle can aggravate the problem and cause premature aging to our skin</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The skin on our faces stretches like a rubber band, thanks to something called elasticity. This means that it can return to its original form after being pulled or compressed -- pretty important when you think about how much we move our faces. Unfortunately, as we get older, our skin loses its elasticity. That's why we form wrinkles and certain parts of our body start to droop. One of the main reasons for this is that our bodies' production of collagen and elastin, two proteins responsible for our skin's elasticity, lessens with age.<br />

</span><u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">CAUSES</span></u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
Sun exposure, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">poor nutrition, frequent </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">squinting, smoking, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">failure to use a effective anti-wrinkle cream and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">even sleeping on your face promote the formation of crows feet. Naturally, people who spend a great deal of time outdoors are at higher risk. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
</span><u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">PREVENTION</span></u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
Applying </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">sunscreen, quitting smoking, </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">consistently using an effective anti-wrinkle cream and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">wearing </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">LARGE sunglasses </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">and hats are the key ways to avoid crows feet. Even if you're already showing signs, it's never too late to stop them from getting worse</span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">.<br />
<br />
</span><u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: bold;">REMEDIES</span></u><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"><br />
Prevention aside, once you have them, you'll need to deal with them head-on to either reduce their appearance or have them professionally treated to get rid of them temporarily. </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><br />

</div><div style="color: #999999;">1. You are going to need tweezers, a razor blade, a little bit of moisturizer, and a ruler. Apply the moisturizer all over your eyebrow area, this will help plucking out the hairs easily and helps with the pain. You can also numb the brow area with ice if it is too painful for you. Let the moisturizer sit for 2-3 min before plucking. Then take it off. Place the ruler in the inner corner of your eye and anything that is outside of the ruler should be... GONE!</div><br />

<div style="color: #999999;">And just like that you are done! After all this it is really easy to keep up your shape, just pluck your little brow hairs that will come out and make sure to not get any of the long ones or that will change your shape.<span style="color: #660000;"> </span><b style="color: #660000;">I usually shape my brows only once or twice a year. I try to keep the shape for as long as I can.</b> You can also apply some color like I did in the last picture, but that is just personal taste. Have fun doing these :)<br />

There are two types of tea: herbal and non-herbal. <a href="http://healthydetoxcleanse.com/the-benefits-of-drinking-detox-tea/"><span style="color: black; text-decoration: none;">Detox tea</span></a> falls under the herbal category. This type of tea is used to cleanse the body of toxins that may have accumulated in the body over years of abuse. The body is exposed to a vast array of different pollutants and toxins. These toxins can be absorbed in the body by what the person eats, drinks, breathes or is exposed to. Toxins can build up, leading to health problems, making the body more vulnerable to a host of diseases and ailments. The human is capable to removing these toxins from the body. However, with the amount of toxins that are stored in the body because of an unhealthy lifestyle, the body is unable to keep up.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />
<b>DO DETOX TEAS REALLY WORK?</b><br />
<b>(NO)</b> The detox products that we have now cannot "kill" the molecules of unwanted substances in your blood and other parts of your body. Maybe someday nanorobots will- but detoxes can't. We cannot kill toxins in our bodies with detox products.<br />

<b>HOW OFTEN SHOULD WE DRINK DETOX TEA?</b><br />
Detox teas are generally recommended to be taken one to three times a day. With that being said, you can also use 2 tea bags at a time as long as you do not use more than ten in one day. Detox teas should always be used as directed. They are generally not recommended for use by women who are pregnant or nursing. In other instances, they should not be taken for more than 30 consecutive days by anyone.</span><br />

In some cases, however, the</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> heels </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">may become so</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> dry</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">, irritated, and cracked that the feet begin to bleed. The skin of the heel becomes very hard and may even develop discoloration.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #999999; line-height: normal;"><br />

There are many products on the market that can help a person to get rid of</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> dry</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">, dead skin cells. For example, a person may use a heel smoother, which is small device designed to smooth cracked</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> heels </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">and slough off dead skin. A person may also use a pumice stone or even a rough towel to rub away the</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> dry</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> skin; there are even exfoliating creams that have tiny particles for rubbing off dead skin. Some people recommend soaking the feet in warm water before exfoliating to make the process easier and more effective.</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #999999; line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Moisturizing is another important part of caring for</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> dry heels</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">. When you get out of the bath or shower, you should apply a moisturizing lotion. However, moisturizers aren’t just for after bath time; a case of</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> dry heels </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">probably warrants moisturizing at least twice per day. Wearing a moisturizer to bed is also a good idea, as it allows the moisturizer to soak into the foot during the night, without such impediments as shoes rubbing up against the</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> heels</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">.</span></span></div><div style="color: #999999;"><br />

How could we go wrong with something like washing our hair? However, we might be washing our hair the wrong way and contribute to its damage without actually knowing it.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 15pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">What we should remember about our hair is that the individual strands of our hair, no matter how thick or strong it looks, is actually very delicate. So we cannot just tug and pull at it, or else it would break. </span></span></div><div style="line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 15pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">So, what is the right way to wash your hair?</span></b><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";"><br />
The first thing you should do is to comb the tangles out of the<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: black;">hair</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><u>before</u> you wet it so the hair would wash easily and the tangles would not worsen. For best results wet your hair with warm water to open the scale-like cuticles of the hair and wash all the oil and dirt off. And then, you can rinse your hair with cold water afterwards to close the cuticles and add to the shine of your hair.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 15pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Rinse your hair under the shower to rid it of the leave-on conditioner and<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: black;">styling aids</span> you have used previously, using gentle strokes of your fingertips. Then, pour a dollop of<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><span style="color: black;">shampoo</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>in the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together, and then apply the shampoo to your scalp. Take note that you should put the shampoo on your scalp and not at the ends of your hair, as the shampoo would dry your hair's ends and cause it to weaken and split. Also, do not mix your hair all over your head as you shampoo because it will get all tangled up. After this, rinse the shampoo off.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 15pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">More often than not, we need to shampoo our hair for a second time. The purpose of the first shampoo is to clean the oil and dirt off; the second shampoo is supposed to let the shampoo treat our hair. So, repeat the process, but let the shampoo sit on for around a couple of minutes. Rinse the hair completely after this.</span></span></div><div style="line-height: 11.25pt; margin: 15pt 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">To get the excess water off your hair, just squeeze the water out. Do not pull or tug at the hair because the hair is at its most delicate when it is soaked. When the excess water is out, apply a dollop of conditioner and apply it along the hairline, the nape and the ends of the hair. Pile your hair then inside a shower cap and let the conditioner stay there for around ten minutes. And then, rinse it off completely.</span></span></div><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;">The process described here does seem tedious and time-consuming. But remember, having great hair takes a bit of time and effort. And it is definitely worth it for picture perfect hair</span>.</span></span><br />

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #274e13; line-height: normal;"><b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">My eyelashes keep falling out. Is this normal? Why does this happen? Is there is anything I can do about it?</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Eyelashes fall out normally from time to time, just as hair elsewhere on the body does. But they can also fall out for other reasons. The medical name for this problem is madarosis, and some causes are pretty obvious - such as the way you remove eye makeup. <b><u>Wiping your eyes too vigorously</u> </b>can pull out a few lashes: better to use an eye makeup remover that does the job without the need for rubbing. In addition, <b><u>heavy mascara</u></b> can actually weigh down delicate lashes and cause them to fall out, and the <u><b>pressure of an eyelash curler</b></u> can pull them out as well.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Some have a nasty habit of unwittingly pulling out their eyelashes without much thought to the consequences.<u><b> It is</b> <b>never a good idea to fiddle around with your eyelashes</b></u><b> </b>as they take lot longer to grow back than the hairs in other parts of your body.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;">Other potential causes include <b><u>eyelid infections</u></b> from sharing makeup or using a dirty applicator. A thyroid condition (either underactive or overactive) can also be to blame. You also should investigate the possibility of infection with a mite called D. folliculorum, which can cause swelling and inflammation of the eyelash follicles.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">If none of these possibilities seem to fit your case, you might consult an eyelid specialist (an oculoplastic surgeon), who should be able to figure out what's going on.</span><br />

While most cosmetics contain preservatives to help slow the growth of bacteria and fungus, sometimes this isn’t enough to prevent your makeup from getting contaminated. In fact, in one study researchers found bacteria such as staph, strep and E. coli in department store makeup testers. Each time you touch a lipstick or mascara, you are potentially introducing germs to the product. And the more people who use it, the greater the likelihood of spreading infection. Since mucous membranes are more susceptible to getting infected, lip and eye products should never be shared under any circumstances.</span></div><br />

This is Arbonne's latest addition to the RE9 Advanced line that I feel really completes the system. The Cellular Renewal Masque has alpha and beta hydroxy acids, vitamin C, marine lavender, kudzu, algae extracts, pineapple and papaya enzymes, combined in the mask. This aids in improving skin tone and texture, in addition to pore minimization. In a nutshell, this product is the answer for people with skin discoloration, uneven texture and large pores — sounds like me!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #666666; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

Speaking of testing — what’s interesting according to a press release, “89 percent of participants reported an immediately smoother, softer texture to their skin after just one use of the Renewal Masque.” </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% white; color: #666666; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><br />

According to Arbonne, the system synergizes nine major age-defying elements and botanicals and is clinically proven to start working within 24 hours. The products within the system include a Smoothing Facial Cleanser, Collagen Support Dietary Supplement, Regenerating Toner, Nourishing Body Wash, Intensive Renewal Serum, Firming Body Cream, Corrective Eye Crème, Instant Lift Gel, Restorative Day Crème SPF 20, Age-Defying Neck Cream and a Night Repair Crème.</span><br />

One of the skin care consultants I know "rolled” in pulling this stylish case. This is a fantastic case that is just the right size for carrying your files, skin care products/ displays, laptops etc. I highly recommend this hard sided case that can be ordered in many colors and has a TSA approved lock. The case that I saw was a leopard print but I am leaning toward an orange or gold case to match my skin care samples and displays.</span><br />
