An infrared sauna can do wonders for your health. Infrared saunas are different from conventional saunas in many ways. They require virtually no maintenance, you can put them just about anywhere, you get a deeper sweat, and they actually build collagen! Infrared heat is the heat that you get from the sun without the harmful UV rays. Infrared heat penetrates deeper than heat in a conventional sauna. Infrared heat raises your body core temperature so you get a deeper sweat. At 120 degrees in an infrared sauna you get far superior benefits than 180 degrees in a conventional sauna.

Health & Beauty Tip - Week of April 11th Beauty Tip- Who Has the Perfect Body? The answer to this question is you do, you are just not dressing it right.

Best Way To Hide Under-eye Circles Under-eye circles can make you look old and tired even when you are not. Things like allergies, a sleepless night, or heredity can cause dark circles.

This results in the opposite of the raccoon eye syndrome which is also not a good look, especially if you have a few lines around your eyes and the concealer settles into them.

The Best Way to Get Silky Legs The very best way to get silky smooth legs when you shave is to exfoliate first. This will remove the dead skin cells and allow for a closer shave. My favorite product for this is by a company called 100% Pure and it is the Cocoa Kona Coffee Body Scrub. It smells heavenly (like coffee and chocolate!) and it is a very clean product. It has nothing synthetic in it. Wet your legs, apply the scrub and massage gently for about 15 seconds, rinse and then apply your favorite shaving cream. Always use a sharp razor for best results. Dull razors can cause irritation. If your skin seems to be sensitive after shaving you can apply some lotion that has 1% … [Read more...]

Maracuja Oil for Nourshing Your Skin Maracuja oil is derived from the Passion Flower and is a wonderful oil for general skin care including the face. This oil is very different than any I have tried in the past. It is very light, easily absorbed, has no odor and is not greasy. It contains essential fatty acids and has a high Vitamin C content. It is great for mature, aging skin although all skin types can benefit. You can use it in place of your morning moisturizer and as a supplement to your night time routine. Just warm about 3 drops in your hands and apply to your face and neck. Tarte cosmetics makes a wonderful oil and it comes in cute little bamboo basket. HEALTH TIP: Charred … [Read more...]
