Foods That Kill Your Face

2008-07-25T07:54:00.000-07:00

You may or may not know that it has been scientifically proven that diet has nothing to do with Acne. But it is advisable to practice healthy lifestyle and diet too.

The following is a list of reactive foods that can potentially aggravate your acne, however some people may be resistant to a particular food while others may not. Not all foods react the same with all people.

The list is extracted from a book titled "Acne free in 3 days" by Chris Gibson.

1. Caffeine - sodas and chocolate. Caffeine is a stimulant and can be found in many different foods. Coffee and cola are the more well-know examples, but caffeine is also in many other foods. The stimulant properties in caffeine seem to aggravate both acne breakouts and Candida infections.

2.Sugars — particularly refined such as white and powdered. Sugar is also in many different foods. In its natural form, such as in fruit (fructose), it is easily digested and managed by the body.
In its highly concentrated and refined form, it wreaks havoc on the body, especially in people who are suffering with Candida infections. The Candida yeast in the body must have sugar to grow and thrive. Cutting all refined sugar, and even natural sugar for a time, is the best way to eliminate Candida yeast overgrowth.

3. Vinegar — also in many foods, from canned veggies to catsup, mustard, and salad dressing. Vinegar doesn’t cause problems for all individuals, but many have sensitivity to it and do not even know it.

4. MSG — monosodium glutamate is found in most processed foods. Many people have sensitivities to MSG and in some people who are highly allergic to it, MSG can even be deadly. MSG is required to be listed on all foods, as it is added as a flavor enhancer and preservative.
Some symptoms of MSG sensitivity are extreme tiredness and sleepiness right after ingesting it. Skin reactions usually occur within 24 hours.

5. Bananas — Believe it or not, a lot of people have high skin sensitivity to bananas. Usually, these same people have an acute sensitivity to pineapple as well.

6.Iodine — such as in seafood like shrimp and lobster. Most people with sensitivities to seafood already know they have a problem. What a lot of acne and Candida sufferers don’t know is, even if they seem to be able to eat seafood with no trouble, the iodine content has been shown to aggravate acne breakouts. The iodine seems to release a lot of stored toxins in the blood and leads to greater and more prolonged breakouts.

7. Animal lard — Animal fats are much different in their nature than are vegetable fats. Animal lard is rancid. Look at it this way, fat begins to decompose naturally just like tissue. This is a natural process of nature.
As it breaks down, it creates toxins, but vegetable fats do not undergo the same process. Any kind of animal lard is not good for the body and can really create a good environment for Candida infections to grow and prosper.

8. Dark colas — The coloring used in colas and syrups are artificial and can also excite acne conditions. Dark cold drinks are notorious because they contain so much more of the additives that can harm the body.
Staying away from dark colas will usually help tame acne breakouts. If you’re someone with acne and drinks a lot of dark cold drinks, then you should consider eliminating them or greatly reducing your consumption of them.

The list goes on and on, somehow Chris the author of "Acne free in 3 days" has spent countless hours to experiment and research that. Those are not the complete list, if you think your skin is sensitive and allergic to the aforementioned list of foods. You can read his book, not only does it talk about the do's and don'ts of foods. The book will even discuss about the fastest, the cheapest and the most effective natural alternative method to cure your acne in 3 days. You don't have to fork out more money on expensive pills and medication. Try this before you spend more money on other stuffs.

His book has been featured on several popular TV channels in US and other countries, so you might wanna check out his book as well as the complete list of reactive foods. Hope it really helps you because it does help me and this is the reason why I am very excited to share this great book with you.

Exclusive and Luxurious Custom Made Scents for The Riches.

2008-07-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

Many don't realize that Napoleon Bonaparte possessed profound interest in Cologne. His burning passion for scents encouraged him to create his own scents, a nine-litre musk-based Cologne, adequate enough for his monthly rubdowns.

Perfume makers today relentlessly continue to custom-make fragrances cater for discerning and high profile males who want a smell that symbolizes their status. This trend has led one New York based company, International Flavours and Fragrances, to produce new fragrances that cater to clients who seek fragrances that enchance their image.

"It makes sense for men who are used to making bespoke suits and shirts to ask for custom tailored scents too", says US-based perfumer specialising in plant essences, JoAnne Basett.

Prior to concocting your own perfume, you need to consult with the perfumer determining prefences and your personalities. Then the perfumer will spend up to six months to blend different levels of base and top notes to create a fragrance that matches your needs and personalities.

Similar to your private and custom tailor experience, once the perfumer has come up with the final designs, you will be invited to the laboratory to sniff vials of perfume to finetune the concoction.

Here's a list of renowned Personal and Exclusive perfume makers that will be more than happy to create a scent just for you. I warn you, it won't be cheap ...

"Fancy" a piece of Jessica Simpson?

2008-07-15T23:17:00.000-07:00

Paris Hilton launched her own lines of fragrances few years back and was doing quite surprisingly well despite the negative raves. The same company Parlux that is responsible for the blonde heiress's fragrances will roll out a new fragrance named "Fancy" developed with Jessica Simpson.

“With Fancy, I wanted to create a pretty fragrance, one that I could be just as comfortable wearing on the red carpet or every day with my favorite jeans,” Jessica says.

The new fragrance is expected to be released on August 15, during while she is still busy preparing her new country album. Her "Fancy" promo posters and advertisements, showing her lying on a pink colored bed, are out now.

2008-07-14T21:56:00.001-07:00

How many of you feel frustrated from post-acne scars and blemishes? You may have forked out a fortune or tried zillion of products to reduce and get rid of the blemishes. I am a mild acne sufferer myself, I understand how your skin imperfection can make you vulnerable to having low self-esteem.

I have spent thousands of dollars on Microdermabrasion and Fruit Acid chemical peel which works exteremely well, but you have to bear the hefty price tags everytime you visit the dermatologist and this treatment needs to be performed on regular basis to see the optimum results.

Now, there's this amazing mask called "Aesop - Chmomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque". You read it, it's anti-blemish and I have personally used too. I like it very much and it helps improve my skin complexion tremendously, though it won't get rid of your blemishes overnight, but it sure does help improve your skin appearances in the long run.

For girls who are busy and can't resist putting on makeup everywhere they go, this mask is just brilliant, it blends well with your skin color, but of course don't go out with this mask if you have darker skin tone. You can apply makeup on the thinly applied mask and you can go on do your activities.

To apply the mask is easy, you can use this mask throughout the year, you can put on this mask and wash it off after 15 minutes or you can leave it overnight for intensive treatment. The best part is the mask has this really soothing scent of Chamomile plant. Perfect if you want to just leave the mask on and go to bed.
One of the most amazing things about this mask is, you only have to apply it thinly on your face and it lasts you 1.5 years.

Remember readers, this mask is not a replacement for your general acne medication. However, this mask can certainly help soothe the skin and reduce the redness and draw out the inflammation. It helps reduce the blemishes on your skin too. Whatever you expect from this amazing product. Don't expect an overnight miracle. Patience is virtue.

What is Eau de Toilette, Eau de Parfum and Essential Oil?

2008-07-09T18:52:00.000-07:00

Hi readers, some of my customers keep asking me the same questions as I am selling designer fragrances and skincare products online.
I know when it comes to choosing the correct fragrances for yourself is kind of a hit and miss decision. Know your desired level of intensity and price range, then slowly take your time to choose the brands you like that carry the particular fragrances.

Here's a brief crash course on what those different types of perfume is all about.
1. Essential Oil (Extrait) This type of perfume is a very concentrated liquid extracted from plants or fruits. The extracted oil carries its distinctive smell of its plants and normally it comes with a heavy price tag. The oil normally contains 15% - 40% of concentrates, the reason being why it lasts the longest on your skin compared to any other cologne or alcohol based perfume.

2. Eau de Parfum (EDP) comes in second spot in terms of its lasting fragrant. Eau de Parfum is not to be mistaken with essential oil and pure perfume. However, Eau de Parfum still contains a substantial amount of concentrated oil (7% - 15% level of concentration) and low in alcohol, this also costs a lot.

3. Eau de Toilette (EDT) contains ~1% - 7% level of concentration. This is typically the most popular type of fragrance among men and women for its affordable price and generally comes in a somewhat generous amount per bottle. However, Eau de Toilette is never supposed to last long on your skin, it merely gives the refreshing effect on your body.

4. Eau de Cologne (EDC)/Cologne generally includes 2%-5% level of concentration. It is a dilute perfume with its main base of ethanol and a concoction of citrus oils, Eau de Cologne has the faintest and lightest smell compared to the rest of the fragrances

Next, I will blog about which designer fragrances are popular now in each of those categories :)

SellHimOnline was Born

2008-07-07T20:50:00.000-07:00

Hi All ...

I am Tandy, just a simple dude who lives and works in a small country called Singapore.
It is just a tiny red dot on the map. Nothing really special about me, I am a full time Analyst Programmer for a local company in Singapore. Life has been pretty dull for me and working life has never been this hectic before.

It is supremely tough to survive comfortably in Singapore nowadays and recently I have just set up my small Business dealing with Internet Retail Sale. I couldn't think of any better and unique Business name and suddenly this word "SellHimOnline" sprang up in my mind. I registered it and voila I now officially own a Business named "SellHimOnline".

Here's my Business Logo, what do you think? Please kindly leave comments and feedbacks :)

I am quite a taciturn and socially deprived person. Nothing really ordinary about me, except I love to make friends and establish huge networkings among friends and their friends. I have my own passion like everyone in this world does, my passion is definitely not in IT despite my occupation dealing with codes and programming.

Currently I want to focus on my Business in selling designer fragrances and skincare products at discounted price. It is such an exciting experience and opportunity for me to learn how to market products especially items that I gradually grow fond of. I hope by having set up this blog I can reach out more audiences out there and of course making more friends.

Right now, I carry nearly 10,000 designer fragrances and skincare. I barely have the time to upload every single item data on my web store. I would love to use this opportunity to ask you guys a simple favor by checking out my small and simple web store. Feedbacks and comments are paramount for my Business.

You can either click on the "Perfume Store" link on top of the page or go to this URL www.sellhimonline.com/perfume

You don't have to buy a stuff, I just wish you guys can let me know what your opinion is. Of course I would be more than grateful to give you further discount should you wished to purchase from me :)
