The Importance of Hand Cream

admin — Tue, 31 May 2011 17:26:45 +0000

I’m sure moms like me would agree that our hands are the most abused part of our body. With our multiple roles as wife, mother, housekeeper, and employees there will come a time that all those hard work will take a toll on our poor hands.

Take it from my grandma. She was the most hardworking woman I know. Unfortunately, she learned the hard way that not taking care of her hands was going to cost her in the end. By the time she was in her 50s, her hands were gnarled and veiny. My poor grandma tried to make up for lost time by applying hand cream and even using gloves while working but alas, the damage has already been done.

That is the reason why I am particularly conscious in taking care of my hands. Applying lotion regularly would do the trick. Hand cream is essential tin keeping our hands smooth, soft, and well moisturized. We all know that dryness is the number one source of aging. That is why we must be particular in keeping our hands moisturized especially after hand washing. Aside from that, this is best applied every morning and every evening before going to bed. Apply the it in a circular motion. Aside from the hands, apply it also on your nails and cuticles.

If you can’t afford those expensive creams then don’t worry because even the regular ones will do. The key is caring for it early on. If you start young then you will surely benefit the rewards later in life.

Why I Suffered from Excessive Hair Fall

admin — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 04:04:18 +0000

I remember about four years ago I suffered from excessive hair loss. Everyday, I would see my hair on the floor, on the chair, in the bed, practically everywhere. We were still living at my grandmother’s house during that time and every time she sweeps the floor she would see my hair. She was alarmed and told me to use aloe vera for my hair loss. I didn’t think much of it at that time. My hair had been falling for so long that I actually thought it was normal. I told her that I read somewhere it’s just normal for up to 100 strands of hair to fall every day.

Now I realized that she was right. I don’t know how I was cured but I don’t see my hair on the floor anymore. Sometimes I think about what might have cost that alarming episode in my life. The doctors would say that it was due to stress but I was in no stressful situation at that time. I think the culprit might have been the hair procedure I had done to my hair. I had my hair relaxed at a salon and it caused my hair to get damaged and fall. I know that had I continued to have my hair treated that way pretty soon I would have to start looking for average cost for hair transplants. Hair is our crowning glory so we should think twice when adding chemicals to it. I know we’re doing it for the sake of beauty but if we end up with no hair then it defeats our purpose, doesn’t it?

Hair loss is a major problem especially of men. Hair loss, or alopecia, may be caused by ageing, local or systemic diseases and other hormonal factors. Heredity is also one reason for hair loss among men. In addition, some medicinal drugs, iron deficiency, x-ray therapy and stress can contribute to the loss of hair. Hair dyes and hair’s exposure to heat treatment may also contribute to alopecia.

Thank goodness there are many ways in which you can do to get your hair growing again. Several hair loss products are sold in the market, with the promise of a more youthful hair appearance.

By knowing what to avoid, you can help prevent hair loss. Overconsumption of salt, alcohol and sugar is bad for the hair. Going on a crash diet is not advisable as well if you want to have healthy-looking hair. Also, you should avoid too much sun exposure. Limit your time swimming on pools and beaches as well, to protect you from hair loss.
