The Wonders Of Hot Tubs And Whirlpool Spas

April 23rd, 2012 by Owen Jones

It is lovely to soak in a hot tub, is it not? After a long day at work or sorting the family out – driving the kids to and from school and then to the scouts, sports club or music lessons. Being held up in traffic on the way home or waiting in the queue at the supermarket, a long soak in a hot tub washes it all away.

Imagine then what a hot tub spa or Jacuzzi could do? Sitting in a hot spa tub with a long cool drink whilst half a dozen jets are blasting hot water and bubbles at you, massaging you gently, taking the stresses of the day away.

You could place one in the garden or in the bathroom. You could even buy a portable hot spa tub and move it into the garden in the summer and back inside in the winter. If you ask most individuals what they want to have in the way of home improvement, a swimming pool would probably be number one and a Jacuzzi number two.

There again, a lot of people do not have the room for a swimming pool and a Jacuzzi is a lot cheaper than a swimming pool as well. Water has a calming effect on people. Perhaps it is a primeval memory of when we came out of the sea millions of years ago or maybe it is a more recent memory of being in the womb.

Whatever the reason or even mixture of reasons, individuals like to be in, around or on water, it relaxes and invigorates us. And frothing, bubbling water is even more relaxing and even more invigorating. Hence the popularity of hot tub spas.

Another reason may be gravity. All day long we are lumbering about, each foot step sending shock waves into our body and gravity pulling down on so that we feel each ounce of our weight, but as soon as we are in water, we are buoyed up and the effects of our weight and of gravity are felt far less.

In fact, up to 30% less. Additionally, we are ninety-odd percent water, so no surprise we feel tranquil in a hot tub. But that is not all that a soak in a hot tub does. It warms you right through, through to the marrow and that relieves minor aches and pains. The reduction in gravity is also said to be a relief to sufferers of arthritis.

There are possibly other reasons too why people feel more relaxed in a tub of hot water, particularly a whirlpool kind spa tub, but one for me is that I will not get out of the tub for anything with the exception of to get another drink. Once I am in there, I do not care if the phone rings or the door bell chimes. The house would have to be on fire to get be me out before my skin looks like a wrinkled old prune.

Skin Care Advice To Keep You Looking Young

April 23rd, 2012 by Owen Jones

Everyone over the age of 18 likes to be told they do not look their age. Most of us understand that getting old is unavoidable, but none of us wants to appear older than we are. However, some people do age ahead of time and this more often than not shows itself first in the skin. You will never stop wrinkles appearing without injections or surgery, but most people do not want to go that far. However, there are a few proven skin care tips to keep you looking young.

Because the skin is the largest organ of our bodies, it often mirrors what is going on inside our bodies. Therefore, one of the best proven skin care tips to keep you looking young is to look after your whole body by giving it healthy food and making sure that it gets all the vitamins and nutrients it needs, as these will help your body to generate natural essential oils and collagen. Eating healthily requires eating plenty of fruit, vegetables and fibre. You should use healthy oils in your food too like olive oil, because they contain anti-oxidants.

Dry skin is more susceptible to wrinkles, so you need to keep your skin hydrated, which means drinking lots of water. Medical experts advise drinking at least six to eight 250 ml, which means 1.5 – 2 litres of water a day. This will help flush out the toxins which naturally build up in our bodies and will also help to regularize any weight problems, you may have.

Movement is also important. Regular exercise will keep your skin moving, stretching it this way and that to keep it supple. Exercise will also help the water flush out the toxins that build up in the extremities of your body like your feet and hands. Some of these build ups can cause some forms of arthritis like gout. Exercise will also improve your metabolism, improve your mood and normalize your weight.

Stress can also have an adverse effect on our bodies and therefore our skin, so it is good to take measures to reduce stress whenever you can. Exercise and diet can help here as can being more organized and treating yourself from time to time with such things as a long, hot bubble bath, a massage, a sauna or meditation.

The sun’s UV rays are detrimental to our skin and with the break down of the Earth’s protective ozone layer, they are getting stronger in some areas of the world. Therefore, you should wrap up more, especially if you are very fair skinned. Think about applying the moderate SPF 15 when you go out in the sun and using jojoba oil or co-enzyme Q10.

Jojoba oil is known to help reduce fine wrinkles and is high in vitamin E, which is an anti-oxidant. It also contains oils which are akin to those that our bodies produce, so it is absorbed easily by the body. Q10 is also an anti-oxidant and will help eliminate fine wrinkles

These are some of the best, uncomplicated, inexpensive, proven skin care tips to keep you looking young.

Is California Tan Tanning Lotion The Right One For You?

April 22nd, 2012 by Owen Jones

There are so many tanning lotions, sprays and creams on the market that you could never try them all – you simply would not have the time. However, there is one that seems to have taken the tanning industry by storm and that is the tanning lotion they call California Tan or Cal Tan.

In fact, California Tan has been around for approximately 25 years, so it is not a new-comer by any means. Tanning lotions are judged on a number of factors including tingle factor, bronzing effect, cooling effect and sunblock factor. The effect that you find vital is up to you obviously, but the most important factor ought to be safety.

California Tan is a slow-acting tanning lotion, which means that you should not expect fast results. California Tan tanning lotion is intended to be applied each day either to maintain your present tan or to slowly create a suntanned, glowing skin tone. A good tanning lotion will not dry the skin out, so it will include a moisturizer.

In fact, the best tanning lotions will bronze your skin, moisturize it and filter out the sun’s harmful UV rays. It is especially vital to have sun screen built into any cream or lotion that you intend rubbing into your skin on a daily basis.

Whichever tanning lotion you buy make certain that it is capable of taking care of your skin and compatible with your skin type. This can become an expensive and drawn out process, because the only way to trial a lotion in the correct manner is to rub some into an region of your skin that is fairly sensitive but that is not always on display. Somewhere like your inner thigh.

Perhaps you could try a friend’s tanning lotion or use a couple of different ones each time you go to the tanning salon until you find one that is right for you. Then it is best to stick with what you know will not injure your skin type, because unfortunately, what works for your friend might bring you out in blotches or create that awful orange skin colour.

Check the label to see what the lotion contains. There should be a couple of plant or fruit extracts that you recognize to be beneficial (again which ones are good for you depend on your skin type) and there ought to be a few vitamins like vitamins A and E.

If you go with a tanning lotion meant for daily use bear in mind that even a compatible cream could damage your skin after protracted usage, so make sure that you monitor your skin carefully, wash off the tanning lotion at the end of the day and deep clean your skin with a moisturizer, especially in sensitive regions like your face, neck, thighs and the sides of your chest.

If California Tan tanning lotion passes all these tests on your skin, it will be worth testing, but do take care and do not listen too much to the suggestions of friends and sales personnel – at the end of the day, it is just you who has to walk about in your skin.

Buying A Hot Tub Spa

April 22nd, 2012 by Owen Jones

For most individuals, buying a hot tub, also called a gazebo, a hot spa or a Jacuzzi, is a first time event. This makes it quite a daunting undertaking, because they are not cheap and there are numerous variables.

You have to do research on the different types of jets, the power of the pump that is best for you, the location, whether to put a deck around it or not et cetera, et cetera. In this piece, we will take a look at a few of these points to make purchasing a hot tub easier for you.

The first point to think about is size. This normally depends on two items: where you are going to locate the hot tub and how many people are going to be using it at a time. If you are hoping to situate it above the ground floor inside your home, you will have to check the weight of the spa while it is full of water and people to see whether your floor will take that weight without reinforcement. If the climate is good where you live, the garden is the best place to put it.

The next deliberation is price. There is a vast choice of hot tubs and a wide span of prices too. If you find that the price of a new hot tub is just out of your range, what about purchasing a second hand one?

There is quite a substantial second hand market in Jacuzzis because hotels, health spas and some home owners have to renew their models. You may get lucky enough to find rather a plush second hand model for less than the cost of a new cheap one. Enquire at a local installer’s for details.

The next thing is the material that the actual tub is manufactured from. This is not inevitably the same as the housing or cabinet that goes around the tub. Traditional-style hot tubs are made from local hardwoods such as cedar, oak, redwood or teak, but they are weighty and leak a bit.

Contemporary materials used are a mixture of plastic and fibreglass moulded into comfortable seating arrangements. They are lighter and do not leak (or should not).

Then you can think about the housing. Is the hot tub going to stand on its own somewhere or is it going to be built in? if you are going to build it in, what are you going to build it into? A deck? Hardwood, softwood, concrete and tiles?

Then there is the general maintenance of the tub. This is not difficult but it is essential, so when you are building your tub into something, remember that you will need access to various parts of it. Read the manual of the tub that you buy to learn which parts will need maintenance and cleaning.

Normally, this involves cleaning the jets, adding chemicals to the water, renewing filters and perhaps renewing a gasket on the pump, which could be assigned to an engineer in an annual service deal.

The Sun And Preventing Wrinkles

April 22nd, 2012 by Owen Jones

There is a strong association between the force of the sun’s rays and skin wrinkles. This has been known for a very long time, but what has been known for not as long is why. We now know that the sun’s rays contain a number of types of ultra-violet light. Some are totally or partially blocked by the Earth’s atmosphere, but some get through too.

The vast majority of our facial wrinkles are the result of exposure to UVA and UVB rays. We now know that it does not count what the origin of those rays is, it is the UV rays themselves that damage skin, for that is what wrinkles are – damaged skin.

This injury can come from sun lamps and sun beds too, because UV rays are also the ones that cause our skin to go brown. Regrettably, in the process of attaining the desired colouration, you have to cause the skin damage. The trick here is to reduce the injury when achieving the required colour.

Children’s skin is particularly susceptible to UV damage which may have a life long impact on their likelihood of getting cancer later on, perhaps decades later. The only manner to prevent this happening is to take safety measures at all times when encountering these rays from whatever source they may come.

One of the main causes for wrinkles is the breakdown of collagen in the skin which alters its elasticity. If the skin loses elasticity, it will not return to its standard place or state and hangs limp.

So, how could you prevent this happening or at least slow down the procedure? The most obvious solution is to stay away from UV rays, but that would mean no more sunbathing, swimming in the open air or using sun beds. The other way is to use creams and lotions to filter out the detrimental rays.

However, lots of people do not use sun screen or sun block at all or at least not in the correct manner. The UV rays that do injure are UVA, UVB and UVC. UVC is blocked entirely by the atmosphere and UVB, which browns the upper layer of skin only is easily blocked – for instance, it will not even go through glass. UVA burns deeper into the skin and produces a long term tan.

Therefore, you have to check that your sun screen will block UVA and UVB. UVA rays are fairly stable in strength throughout the day, but UVB varies, so you need to take that into account when applying the lotion.

The first thing to do is ascertain what type of skin you have. Individuals with fair skin, freckles and ginger or blond hair are most at risk to skin damage. The gradation of skin and hair colour largely determines the skin sort and its susceptibility to damage.

Next you have to know the strength of the sun in the area where you are and finally, the sun is at its hottest between 11 AM and 4 PM, so apply sun block creams and lotions accordingly. If you are uncertain of local conditions, call into a local health or beauty shop and ask their opinion.

Superfoods For Youthful Looks Well Into Old Age

April 14th, 2012 by Owen Jones

Everyone wants to live a longer healthier life. One of the worst insults is being called ‘an old’ something or other. In the Developed World old people are not merely not respected, but are really mocked for being, sick, wrinkly and forgetful. This level of disrespect is really appalling and very shortsighted seeing as everybody wants to live a long life too.

It is not the same story all over the world. In Asia, elderly people are afforded respect just because they are old and have to do something to lose the automatic esteem of strangers. It is no wonder that people would like to remain looking young, although young people have much to answer for for developing this situation. Not that it is anything new, calling someone old was an insult whilst I was young too.

This state of affairs has led to people grasping at straws to hang on to their youth well after it is a lost cause. There are lots of fad and unusual diets on the market and there is always a new fantastic diet or fruit to take the place of the one going out of fashion because it did not work.

In this article, we will take a look at some of the most famous fabulous fad diets, without actually passing judgment on whether they are any good or not, because there are specialists who will recommend them and experts who will condemn them and I do not know sufficient to get off the fence.

One of the latest ones was Goji berries. Goji berries ostensibly originated in Tibet, where a man was reported to have lived to the age of 262 after eating the berries each day. He died in 1930 and had married 14 times, leaving 11 generations behind him.

These berries are said to hold 21 minerals, 18 amino acids, Omega fatty acids and 500 times more vitamin C than oranges. These days Goji berries grow outside Tibet as well and can even be discovered growing wild in British hedgerows.

Aloe vera is another cure-all. I have seen raw aloe vera leaf cure skin problems, but I do not know whether creams have the same impact. In Asia, aloe vera grows wild and everyone has it in the garden..In Thailand, for example, the temperature is almost always around 35c, but if you snap a leaf in half, the gel inside is always cool.

It is said to contain about 200 active ingredients, with 75 nutrients, 20 minerals, 18 amino acids and 12 vitamins. It is best known for its benefits to the skin, but it is also said to have benefits when taken internally. The gel is good for many things and the inside of the skin is a laxative. You can buy dried aloe vera in the form of a tea.

Grapefruit diets keep cropping up. I have known of grapefruit diets for losing weight for fifty years, but I do not know anyone who has lost weight by just eating grapefruits. This is probably one of the more perilous ways of trying to remain young.

Honey and royal jelly are said to be useful for health. Honey is the best preservative known to man. Honey is the sole food that never, ever goes off and royal jelly is what bees feed their young. Honey may be eaten and rubbed on the hair and skin, possibly thinned down with olive oil.

Owen Jones, the writer of this article, writes on numerous topics, but is at present involved with hair tonic for hair growth. If you have an interest in hair loss, please visit our web site now at What is the Best Hair Regrowth Product?
