“Your hair is 90% of your Selfie!”

This is one catchy tag line which may strike a very sensitive chord of frustration. Although baldness is a problem for both men and women,  it is generally more common to men. Actually, there are several factors which may cause this dilemma.

Age
One very obvious cause of receding hairlines (or slight baldness) is of course, age. As people get older, hair gets thinner and weaker along the way. As you get older (and wiser!), hairline also moves up. According to recent studies, men generally start to have hair loss by age 30, and balding patterns become noticeable by age 60.

It’s in the genes!
Yes, you get it from your parents or grandparents. If you see them with the same situation before, then most likely, there is a higher possibility that when you get to reach a certain age, the same thing will happen to your hairline. Family history dictates whether you will inherit this trait or not.

Hormone Changes
Blame it on hormones, so they say. This scientific cause is one of the biggest reasons behind receding hairlines. The culprit is Testosterone, an androgen, which can convert to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Once DHT gets in contact with the hair follicles, it causes them to shrink in size. This affects the growth of hair, and the remaining hair becomes finer than usual in texture and will fall out and break more easily. DHT also inhibits growth, preventing new hair from sprouting.

The question now is what can we do to alleviate the situation? Or, is there a solution to this problem? Frankly speaking, there is no guaranteed cure yet for this concern. Implants can be done, but that is too pricey for most. Topical solutions may be considered as an alternative but, it may or may not work too.

Out of the blue, there is one natural ingredient which may help ease out your worries and may be worth a try. Coconut, the “tree of life” as they call it, can provide a viable solution to this perennial hair problem. The raw materials are grown and sourced out locally. Thus, it is an affordable choice.

1. It has detoxifying components (anti-fungal, anti-viral and antibacterial properties) which can prevent dandruff, leaving you with a healthier scalp.
2. Coconut oil is also a powerful moisturizer, not just for the skin, but also for the scalp as well. It contains lauric acid, capric acid, and other essential fatty acids, which can bind proteins in the hair, strengthening the roots and strands, and reducing breakage.
3. Massaging oil into the scalp will result to improved blood circulation. With this, hair receives the much needed oxygen and nutrients it needs, resulting to healthier scalp and inducing hair growth.
4. It is rich in anti-oxidants and vitamins E and K. These properties will leave hair softer and shinier.
5. As the coconut oil goes deep into the scalp, it will free the hair from frizz and split ends. One very vital component of coconut oil is the linoleic and oleic acids. Linoleic acid hydrates hair and improves elasticity, preventing breakage. Oleic acid helps to get thicker and stronger hair naturally.

Surprisingly, it has been known to contain all the healthy and beneficial properties which can aid us not just in getting a healthy and a better life, but also in alleviating the issue of receding hairlines and baldness.

So next time that you click on reverse camera on your phones, always remember the importance of having a healthy crown. It is an asset that can either make or break a good shot. No amount of filters or makeover application can replace a true and real, healthy hair. Vanity aside, taking care of your looks is not just for women, it is simply true for the hunky guys too!

Life begins again at 50!

Life does not end at 50. In fact, it is the start of something new. A famous magazine recently announced that it is banning the term "aging" when referring to women in their late 40's and beyond. We are in agreement to this, simply because the time is ripe for a culture embracing the grace and glory of these women in their "golden years". To feel happy and satisfied with whatever you've got is great, but, we simply cannot brush reality aside. Truly, it is at this age that confidence will be at its finest, and it is also the age where women will begin to wonder why they are slowly feeling some remarkable changes in their skin. It may be hard to admit, but menopause, is there before us, gnawing with its ill consequences. Sometimes, it gets a bit frustrating for these amazing women (who should be feeling free and elated at these times!). As our beloved hormone called Estrogen plummets, the skin loses its natural hydration and moisture. Sad, but this should not be a big issue, as there are many ways to face this challenge. If, and only if, you know how to confront the problem head on.

Actually, there is no need to drastically change your current skin regimen. You just need to check if the items that you are using are still applicable to the changes that are happening to your skin (the post-menopausal syndrome). Check the labels, and the ingredients. You see, at this stage of life, you just deserve more, in value and in effects. Gone are the carefree days when we simply don't care.

Here are some of the tips which can be very helpful to restore that youthful vibrance and glow:

1.Clean your face gently! - Wash your face with mild, chemical-free soaps. At this age, since the skin is dry due to loss of collagen, it is more susceptible to skin problems like rashes, acne, and inflammation which sad to say, speed up aging. Using soap or facial cleansers laden with toxic ingredients will do your skin more harm than good.

2. Exfoliate regularly – Skin cell regeneration is at its slowest pace at these ages. Tolerance for strong substances is low. You should use mild treatments like organic masks, and soaps with exfoliating ingredients to remove the dead skin cells and allow fresh cells to grow.

3. Moisturize (lavishly!) – As your skin becomes more sensitive, and drier, your best choice is to always keep your skin moisturized. The steady decline in Estrogen causes collagen production to drop so you need to hydrate and boost your skin’s natural glow.

4. Eye Cream is a must! – The skin around our eye area is one of the most sensitive parts of our face. It is thinner and wrinkles and folds easily, showing fine lines that indicate dryness. Others will notice dark circles and what they call crow’s feet around the eyes. These can be managed by choosing the right treatment that is rich in collagen-boosting properties. Be very careful though as some substances will not only harm your skin, but will just worsen the problem.

5. Eat lightly and stay happy! – The key to rejuvenated skin lies not just on the skin treatments. Keeping tab of what goes inside your body is very important. Be conscious of your daily food intake, focusing more on vegetables and fruits. Drink the required 8 glasses of water per day and do some brisk walking when you have the chance (it clears your mind too!). Real beauty simply goes beyond the surface. Most of the time, it emanates from deep within you. Smile often, and you’ll see that inner happiness radiate from you (rubbing it off to others too!). Soon, they will notice the difference and they will start to ask you, "Hey gorgeous, what's your secret for looking young and beautiful? (Despite your real age!). Far from being offended, you will definitely feel proud of this accolade.

Top 3 Reasons Why We Need to Switch to Organic Skin Care?

When people hear or come across the word “organic”, the reactions and response will most often be, “what is that?”, or “what is it made of?”, or “actually, I am not very familiar with that”.

Although, this term has been around us for quite some time now, still a lot of people are in the dark (willingly or unwillingly) when it comes to this item. Organic is simple, plain, pure, unadulterated, straight from the vine. It means no chemicals, no pesticides nor fertilizers were used for the products except the very basic natural ingredients. Dictionary actually defines the word as relating to or derived from living matter; something that is living, live, biological, natural.

This brings us to the idea that if it is organic then it is sustainable, ethical, harmless, and is very usable.

Organic Skincare are products derived from nothing but natural ingredients (again, without the harmful chemicals). No toxic ingredients were used. Again, plain and simple and very basic, but meticulously and lovingly prepared to ensure its value and worth.

So why do we need to use them? Here are the 3 top logical reasons why:

1. It is Healthy! – You may do a rundown check of the items in your dresser, or your vanity closets. How many items are there which does not contain any harmful chemical? Check the labels, and the ingredients. You will be surprised that most of your favorite creams, lotions, moisturizers, serums, deodorants, colorants, even your beloved make-ups are nothing but chemicals hiding behind the scents. Now, these are the clearest reasons why the global trend is now drastically shifting to organic products. First and foremost, the toxic ingredients they contain can (and do) cause cancer. As the creams, lotions, serums, etcetera, are absorbed through the skin, they travel in your bloodstream, causing havoc to our system and destroying our bodies. Countless studies have proven and shown the ill effects of these toxic ingredients. They can and will cause cancer!

2. We need to Care for our Environment! – Whenever we take a bath, wash our dishes or do our laundry, have you noticed the residues that come out of the soap, cleanser, detergents that we use. They look like foam, or suds (in white or cream color). These are the chemical components of many products that goes into the tub, into the sink, travels down the drain, and clogs our waterways. Why? Because they don’t break down and instead accumulate in our ecosystems, harming our environment. Even the manufacturing industry itself contributes to this mess with the products laden with chemicals.

3. For Economic Reasons! – They say that organic products are far more expensive than branded skin care products. A lot of people have this wrongmind set for so long. But this is not true!. It is a misconception. Check the prices of known brands in the market today! (Am pretty sure they’ll be as pricey as can be!) Although organic products are not cheap at all, but they are affordable considering the time, care and efforts spent for its production.

Adding to that will be the number of people we are indirectly helping out (by the jobs being produced by this industry, which are mostly in the rural areas – farmers, growers, and the workforce which are directly involved in the production process. This country is so rich in natural resources. They are all around us, waiting to be tapped and made use of. We are blessed with that. It is just amazing that not many people know, or simply care. These organic products are the fruit of those blessings. An industry which can thrive, if only people will support them.

These are not just the reasons why organic is a better alternative. The list can go on and on. Yet, the choice still lies in our hands. Think, and choose what's best not just for you but for the world as well.
