Skin Care Tip:

Sulfate-Free Is Safer!

Look for a sulfate-free shampoo because it is a safer way to go. Most mainstream shampoos contain sulfates to make them lather and therefore more appealing to the consumer. It turns out that great lather may be bad for your hair and your health as well as the environment. Sulfates will be listed on shampoo bottles as “SLES” and “SLS” which are harsh chemicals that can cause skin and eye irritation. They strip the hair and scalp of essential oils and that can be very damaging to the hair follicle.

Many new organic shampoos like the all natural Neaclear use glycerine and glucosides from corn and sugar, surfactants derived from coconut and palm oils, honey, linoleic and hyaluronic acids. So next time you are shopping for your shampoo try a sulfate-free product.

Anti-Aging Tip:

Take 5 Minutes For Yourself Each Day!

Many of us are so busy in life nowadays that we forget to stop and smell the roses. Taking five minutes for yourself daily can do wonders for your health. If you can relax for five minutes a day, you can enjoy a lower overall heart rate, blood pressure and even decreased stress levels.

To relax yourself, remember a time that brought a happy moment in your life and daydream about it. Just surrendering to five minutes of daydreaming each day will help you leave the stress of the current situation behind. When you return, you will feel much more calm, energized and refreshed. So take five minutes for yourself today!

Plastic Surgery Tip:

Chicago Hyperhidrosis & Botox Treatment

Sweating is a normal, bodily function that helps to maintain proper body temperatures. However, when excessive sweating is present, it can impact one’s life. Having sweaty armpits, feet and/or hands is not only embarrassing, but it can cause stress in one’s career and social activities. This condition is called Hyperhydrosis - excessive sweating beyond what is necessary to maintain proper body temperature. Hyperhydrosis is a common condition, beginning in late childhood or adolescence, where the nervous system stimulates excessive sweat production in response to daily anxiety

Botox is derived from a group of related toxins. Botox works by binding the parasympathetic nerve membranes so no sweating occurs for about 6 months. Botox temporarily helps to block these neurotransmitters that stimulate sweat production. Botox is approved for use on the underarms, palms and soles of the feet.
