Food and Tips to Help You Look and Feel Better

Tips for making you look better from head to toe and how foods factor into this scenario. Let's start with your hair. Rosemary oil added to your shampoo can stimulate hair growth, and using cider vinegar in the final rinse while cooling down the temperature of final rinse makes hair shinier. Drying hair naturally prevents damage from the heat of blow dryers. Eating salmon, sardines and tuna help to reduce hair thinning and brittle strands. A good haircut featuring layering of the hair and a trim every two months prevents split ends and hair looks fuller.

Now turn your attention to your face. When going outside, always use sunscreen. If you should get sunburned, apply an aloe base gel to the burned area or snap off a leaf from an aloe plant and apply liquid to the skin. In the summer, your routine skin care includes cleansing thoroughly, exfoliating skin and oil control. Winter months brings a different routine. Wash face just once a day and exfoliate once a week softly, then moisturize thoroughly. Cucumber slices and their juices are natural astringents to soothe dry skin. Green tea extract helps clear blemishes.

Eating your fruits and vegetables can improve your vision. Carrots, broccoli, oranges and cantaloupe help you to see better. A diet of fatty acids found in salmon, tuna and sardines prevent dryness and redness. Blueberries, elderberries and red grapes improve night vision. Cucumber slices placed on swollen and irritated eyes bring relief.

Do your hands need a little attention and care right now? Start by purchasing a gentler bar of soap, and moisturizing hands every time you wash them. Products containing olive oil, glycerin and Vitamin E are natural softeners. Wear gloves to protect hands from harsh ingredients in cleaning products. Try some of the new skin brightening lotions that contain Vitamins K and C and niacin. They make your skin glow.

Don't neglect your feet. They take you to all your destinations. For dry scaling feet, use foot moisturizers every day. Use scrubs to exfoliate feet once a week, to rub away dead skin and calluses.

Dust antibacterial powder on dry feet and in the shoes to prevent odor causing bacteria to grow. Foot soaks provide a wonderful pampering effect for sore feet. Fill a basin or small tub with warm water. Add several lemon slices and about a tablespoon of olive oil and soak feet for about ten or fifteen minutes. Then trim and file toe nails, use a pumice stone to remove dead skin from soles and sides of feet. Now, spread lotion thoroughly over all areas of the feet and ankles for true soothing bliss.
