How
does your Beauty secrets compare with the rest of the world
The world we live in is image conscious, it has become an
increasing demand to look as good as one feels and to maintain one’s look even
in the presence of an illness. The perception of role models and public figures
from all areas of lifestyle like in sports, entertainment, fashion, and beauty
display a youthful alluring appearance so as a result many youths have become
obsessed and very self conscious about the way they appeal to the rest of the
world on a daily basis, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at
it and to what extent you model these public figures—do you perceive the
benefits of loving and caring for yourself
the way that suits you or do you over critic yourself for not having
those attributes or meeting this beauty quota. Focusing only on outward
appearance underscores the fact that beauty comes from within, and that the
best approach to feeling great and looking better is one that looks into the
internal foundation upon which the external beauty is based. This is one of the
primary reasons why a holistic approach to wellness and age management is essential.
The Holistic philosophy is one that helps to enhance the whole self by implementing
proper nutrition, balancing hormones, appropriate skincare and of course
regular exercise.
Attraction to beauty is global, no matter how beauty is
defined. Everyone wants to feel attractive and beautiful. It’s not superficial
or vain; it is reality and this reality has economic, psychological, and social
effects that directly affect our progress whether we choose to recognize it or
not. Investment into living healthier is
an investment in “feeling and looking good”. “If you live well, you feel well
and you will look well”
The skin is the largest organ of our body and can be
quite embracing when it’s not appealing to you.
It is the first thing people see when they look at us—“your skin’s
appeal”. When our skin is healthy and vibrant, this is a good reflection of
one’s total health and well-being. The
skin renews and repairs itself, as we age; the physio-chemical homeostasis of
the skin becomes compromised, leaving it more susceptible to intrinsic and
extrinsic stressors that ultimately degrade its impact on accelerated skin aging.
External factors that contribute to skin aging are Environmental pollutants,
toxic and harsh personal hygiene products.
Growing older is inevitable; however, we can try to slow
the aging process and prolong our lives by taking measures to promote
continuous cell rejuvenation and renewal. To help you feel good and look your
best we have put together some Alternative beauty products and secrets tips from
around the world that can help keep you safe from toxins.
