Egyptain Beauty Secrets
2007-11-19 18:24:00
The ancient Egyptians rubbed perfumed oil on themselves, which was usually made from scented wood and flowers that has been combined with fat or oil. All of these ingredients were placed into a pot. The oil was complete once all of the scent had been absorbed. Since Egypt delivered an unforgiving climate, the perfumed oil not only made you smell nice, but also prevented the skin from the damaging effects of dry weather. Another tradition involving the perfumed oil was seen during times of celebration. When a party was being held, servants placed cones of perfumed grease on top of the heads of arriving guests. The grease melted as the party �heated up,� which provided a cooing effect as it ran down their faces.The glamour of the ancient Egyptians is a major element of our eternal fascination with them. Entranced as we may be by the politics of Tutankhamun’s reign, it is the jet wigs and almond eyes that get us every time. For Alexander McQueen’s autumn/winter 08 catwalk colle...

Wrinkle Away With Oranges
2007-10-19 03:57:00
An orange a day may keep the wrinkles away. In one of the first studies to examine the impact of nutrients from foods rather than supplements on skin aging, researchers reported that people who ate plenty of vitamin C–rich foods had fewer wrinkles than people whose diets contained little of the vitamin. Diets rich in the omega–6 fatty acid linoleic acid were also associated with less skin aging from dryness and thinning, while higher–fat diets and those higher in carbohydrates were associated with more wrinkling. Sunflower and safflower oils and many nuts are high in linoleic acid. Byproducts of linoleic acid are plentiful in salmon and other fatty fish. The findings are far from conclusive, but they do suggest that when it comes to skin aging, you truly are what you eat.
