• Eat lots of fruits & veggies! Carrots, loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes.
• Use allergen-reducing eye drops sparingly. Using an allergen-reducing eye drop during allergy season to ‘get the red out’ and sooth itchiness may help on a limited basis, but chronic daily use can actually make the problem worse.
• Try not to spend so much time looking at your computer screen. (As a matter of fact, now would be a good time to give your eyes a break, since you’re not doing anything too important.)
• Dont ever rub your eyes when you have something in your eye!
• Wear UV protective sunglasses. Get polarized lenses, NOT just darker lenses. The lenses that only make the world darker will just make your pupils dilate and don’t do a thing to stop the UV rays. You can buy a lot of UV protective discount prescription eyeglasses for you to be protective with the sun. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyesight, protection in youth can help prevent loss of eyesight in later years.
• Be sure to wear goggles or other eye protective wear when working with chemicals or any place with harmful airborne particulates.

Citrus Fruits
Hold the skin cells together by forming collagen. Collagen cannot be added to the skin topically, which is why fruits and fruit juices are such an important part of the daily diet.

You should choose foods that you enjoy, of course, but you need to include the following:

Vegetables
Three to five servings daily. Try to include one serving of raw, leafy greens.

Meat
Have no more than three three ounce servings a day. Cut off all fat. Try to make two servings of turkey or chicken. One serving of fish a day is ideal.

Fruits
Two to three servings daily. A 1/2 cup of chopped or sliced fruit is a serving. Fruit Salad.

Dairy
At least two servings daily. A serving would be eight ounces of milk or yogurt.

Frankly speaking, many people suffer from allergies or sensitive reactions due to chemical additives in commercial cosmetics, and to name some; synthetic fragrances and parabens are actually on the list.

• Synthetic Fragrances can cause dizziness, rashes, headaches, and/or skin irritations in susceptible individuals. And;
• Parabens (methyl, butyl, propyl, ethyl) are used to inhibit microbial growth to extend the shelf life of the product.

• Read the label on any product that you are thinking of purchasing - ***note: the first ingredient listed on any label is the most active component used in making the product.
• Commonly you will find that the first listed on any label are; water, mineral oil, alcohol and witch hazel. As you can see, none of it is expensive, nor helpful in certain situations. --- Alcohol and witch hazel are too drying for some skin types, while mineral oil are large molecules that can clog the skin's pores. The prize of the products only became high due to advertising, packaging, and other additives.
• Visit a natural foods store (a pro-natural or herbal store where you can save your money), the price is actually high but more rational than buying a commercial product.
  

Natural beauty comes from within, you only need to make healthy choices to have a good life...

But the world has so many things to offer which really confuses us to go for the natural way in taking care of our skins... Millions of ads actually tells us that we cannot have a pleasing appearance unless we buy commercial products. Well in fact, there are lot of ways to attain healthy and good looks without purchasing those products.

To conclude, "Less effort, Less tendency of getting side effects, Lot more savings!"

Being Healthy and beautiful doesn't need so much effort on putting on make-ups...

To stay fit, you *need to eat a healthy and balanced diet, and supposedly you need to live a healthy lifestyle to go with that...

There are lot of beautiful or let's say good looking men and women, yet not all of them is healthy... And on the other hand, there are lot of healthy men and women however some of them don't really look good,hmm.. don't ask me about that 'coz i don't know the answer either...Joke aside!!!hehe...

Did you know?

In Koine Greek, being beautiful was thus associated with "being of one's hour". A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful.

Do you agree on that? I am not a Greek but I believe on that... Many old people in the Modern World that we have now prefer to undergo some facial and body operation or treatment for them to look young.

But of course, why not as long as you can afford to spend cash on that.
