Promise Lipgloss Promises WeightLoss

0

A new lipgloss, Promise, has been formulated with an all natural blend of botanical oils, each of which has been used as an appetite suppressant for centuries.

This means that this lipgloss can actually curb your appetite, helping with weight loss. 

Formulated by Omega Tech Labs, Promise lipgloss has had positive results when tested by physicians and their patients.

The company hastens to add that Promise is a functional product, and is not sweetened, and should not be considered candy.

Promise promises a two for one benefit: smooth lips and appetite control.

Flax seed benefits skin

0
Flax seed oil is one of the best sources of essential fatty acids necessary for healthy skin. Essential fatty acids are also called omega acids. Flax seed oil contains high levels of omega 6 (linoleic acid) and high levels of omega 3 (linolenic acid), both of which help the skin retain moisture. People who are lacking enough of these essential fatty acids in their diets are prone to dry skin and may develop eczema.
There is some research to suggest that diets rich in flax seed oil can also reduce the appearance and severity of wrinkles. Aside from the skin boosting benefits, flax seed oil also helps lubricate the digestive system, can help control blood sugar and insulin, and may also reduce LDL (”bad”) cholesterol. For some menopausal women, flax seed oil may also relieve the hot flashes associated with this change of life.
One of the best ways to consume flax seed is to grind it and add to cereal or juice. Flax seed is most potent when its fresh, and you’re likely to get the most benefits from its potency and fiber when its eaten as a grain or seed rather than when it is consumed as an oil or capsule.

If you could benefit from adding flax seed into your diet, consider it a welcome addition in your quest for better skin (and body) health.

Zinc and your skin

0

For more than 100 years, zinc ointments have been recommended for skin care treatment of acne, rashes, cuts, eczema, and dry skin. Zinc works by activating enzymes which promote a healthy immune system. Zinc is a vital element to maintaining the effectiveness of the skin’s protective barrier. With too little zinc, your skin can break open, exposing your internal organs to environmental bacteria.

If you are experiencing skin problems, a good place to look is at the amount of zinc in your diet. If you are low in zinc, you can improve your skin’s condition by eating foods such as figs, tofu, cheese, whole grains, wheat germ, corned beef, nuts, and shellfish. For the more adventurous, you can also get your zinc from eating liver and oxtail.

Adding some of these foods to your diet will make sure your zinc levels are healthy and promoting your best skin health.

For outer (topical) use, you want to look for zinc ointments which do not contain too many extra chemicals or ingredients. If you are having skin irritation or sensitivity, avoid ointments containing mineral oil, methly or propyl paraben, and propylene glycol, as applying these to already irritated skin may make the problems worse.
