Health & Beauty Tips

Rule of skin:Any substance applied to your skin, will also be absorbed by it. Choose your cosmetic and beauty products with this simple rule in mind: If you wouldn't eat it, don't wear it or use it on your skin.

Gorgeous Hair:Boil two handfuls of celery leaves in a small pot of water until the leaves are limp and soft. Strain the water, discard the leaves and set the water aside to cool. Mix in a tablespoon of vinegar, then use the water to rinse your hair after your normal shampooing regime. The overall health and shine of you hair will vastly improve.

Health and Beauty Q&A
Question - What is mole mapping and will this help avoid the onset of skin cancer?

Answer - Mole mapping won’t help you avoid getting skin cancer. Correctly protecting your skin against the harmfull rays of the sun will. But mapping will help you pick up melanomas earlier while they are still treatable.

A camera is used to identify the position of every mole on the body.

With repeat visits, comparisons are made with the original photos taken. The software used to recognise the position of the moles can pick up any changes to the skin, as little as two percent, versus the 20 percent change required before being visible by the naked eye.

This can then be used to detect early melanoma or cancerous changes of moles, resulting in an early and more accurate diagnosis.
