So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Banish Those Wrinkles For Good

By Nigel James

To look younger, is everyone's hearts desire. But wrinkles stop a person from looking young, revealing the fact that he is older. As old age shows itself, the human body requires the right amount of nutrients. If these essential nutrients and vitamins are not supplied in the right proportion, the body shows tell tale signs of aging in the form of wrinkles.

A well balanced and nutritive diet results in well balanced skin. A wrinkle is a specific crease of skin of the face, caused as a result of old age and lack or essential nutrients. Wrinkles hang loose, thus marring the aesthetics of the skin.

Today, people are caught up in the rat race, and as a result they fail to take care of their bodies. A young skin tends to have enough fat tissue to make the face well-rounded. But as a person gets older, the shrinking fat tissue cannot keep up with the growth rate of the skin, giving the facial skin a shriveled look.

As a person grows older, the skin gets thinner. Moreover, the worries of life and the physical exertion that one goes through take its toll on the skin. Creases begin to appear and the skin no longer remains flexible. The cheekbones show through the thinning skin.

Moreover, additional everyday activities such as eating, chewing, frowning, smiling, also has an effect on the skin, leading to wrinkles. A proper nutritious diet, relaxation, medication and a balanced schedule can always help to reduce wrinkles.

You can pamper your skin by using products like sunscreens, which prevent skin aging, by protecting it from the harsh treatment of the sunrays. Cleansers can soothe the skin and keep the skin-pores clean. Moisturizers are a great remedy for uneven skin. Alpha Hydroxyl Acids (AHA) or fruit acids can do wonders by keeping your skin smooth and soft. Facial exercise can naturally increase your skin muscle tone and prevent it from sagging. Moreover, it can make your skin flexible, thereby reducing wrinkles.

According to scientific research, our cell refresh rate decreases as we grow older. This means that the rate at which our cells renew themselves, reduces with age. Due to this slowing renewal rate, the skin becomes dull, dry and uneven. It holds less water and therefore gets dehydrated and develops wrinkles.

One wishes that he could stop this deterioration of the skin, but the natural process of aging and wrinkling cannot be stopped. Yes, much respite has been seen by those who have resorted to the various formulations created by medical science. Products containing DNA and RNA ingredients have proved to ease off wrinkles. Natural proteins like collagen and elastin that give support and flexibility to the skin have found their way into the containers of many beauty creams. Ceramides and hyaluronic acids found in some creams help hydrate and rejuvenate the skin, thus erasing or delaying wrinkling.
