Oily, dry, or neutral skin, you need to know how to take care of your skin. One way to do it is to keep your face clean because it’s the first thing that people see when they look at you. 

So, to help you with that, let me share to you some tips on how to keep your face clean.

Excessive washing can cause dryness. So experts advise that if you have oily skin, washing your face once on mornings and once before you go to sleep will do the work. You can also apply oil free facial moisturizer. But if you have dry skin, you are required to only wash it once a day. Use only your hands in washing as cloth and other materials can dry your skin. In addition, avoid strong soaps, especially those that have perfumes and other harsh chemicals for this will definitely make your skin dry as well

The new Green Cross Insect Repellent Lotion is widely endorsed by the Philippine Association of Entomologists because compared to other brands, it has longer protection time and has anti-dengue and anti-bacterial ingredient as well. On top of that, it can be used by children as it is hypoallergenic and kid-friendly too.

It’s high time that we take our precautionary measures against dengue up a notch. Even if you think you got all the money in the world with your fixed rate anuities, no rich nor poor individual can fight dengue by themselves. Since mosquitoes are adapting to our environment, we too should make it a point not to let them rule over our community.

Since we all know that dengue-carrying mosquitoes attack not only during the day but also at night, we should also be able to identify the factors raising dengue threat.

• Ineffective and weak mosquito control – Dengue-carrying mosquitoes increase in places where there are no sufficient ways to stop their breeding
• Mosquitoes’ survival skills have changed – Through time, these predators acquired a unique survival mechanism that helped them lived in even the most hostile environment. Studies show that they have developed a certain resistance to insecticides or probably they have changed their breeding and feeding habits
• Travel and trade – When one person traveled to a place where dengue is common, they become incubators of virus as well and can carry it wherever they go. Also, there are mosquitoes that are able to travel along with cargo (food and other goods like oboz boots, clothes, etc)  en route to different countries
• Climate change – Change in temperature increases the chance for rainfall thus creating a perfect environment for theAedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus -the 2 most common dengue-carrying mosquitoes during day  and night.

So, where does dengue come from? The most common source of the infection is a mosquito called Aedes aegypti. This specie prey during the day. Entomologists have discovered that there’s been another dengue-carrying mosquito living in the security of our homes (i.e. stored water container up to the old box cutters) that consistently bite from late afternoon until night — the Aedes albopictus. The presence of these 2 predators in our dwelling places make dengue a round-the-clock threat. So, better be careful and take precautionary measures before it takes your family down.

People almost put their whole trust and life on doctors. Well, obviously, they are the ones who know better because they have spent years and years of experience and studies when it comes to health, medicine and saving lives. But there are also certain cases wherein these “experts” are not really experts after all. Medical malpractice and so on. So, let me ask you, do you trust your physician?

Whatever the situation is, I think the most important thing when you  have your health checked, is to believe your doctor. Why? Because studies show that when you look up to your physician, you will most certainly follow his advice.

As patients, doctors need to treat you with gentleness and respect. Well, you can help them to treat you with kindness too. Since they are masters of emotion,  you can influence them to respect you in subtle ways like confidently asking them questions about your health and letting them feel that you are listening. Another is by being sympathetic enough to acknowledge the pressure on their shoulders too, before addressing your concerns. Ex: “I understand how pressured you are,  but I need this situation answered before I leave.” Medical relationship is the key.

In situations where you are in doubt of your doctor because of medical malpractice cases and other issues,  then, you should probably look for another one or have a second opinion. Remember, you put your life on other person’s hands so it’s always important for a big seed of faith to back that up.

Say “Aaaaa“. Believe it or not, your tongue can help you decode your body problems. 

Look at your decorative wall mirrors, open your mouth and stick your tongue out. What do you see?

• A swollen tongue that comes on acutely can be a sign of
  Anaphylactic allergic reaction. Symptoms also include difficulty in breathing and skin rashes, go to your doctors because that is a medical emergency
• A prolonged swollen tongue can be a sign of vitamin B deficiency or hypothyroidism
• Sores. This is a normal thing that happens to people so no need to be alarmed. Maybe, like what I said earlier, you just lack vitamins. If it doesn’t go away after 10 days, you might want to see your doctor because it can probably be a sign of cancer.

Your ear is a very sensitive organ. A dog barking, neighbor shouting, siren of a truck, it reacts to whatever sound it receives from the outside. It’s primary purpose is to catch sound waves, translating them into signals to your brain.

Obviously, there are two kinds of sounds-let’s put it to unpleasant and pleasant. Soft music are pleasing to the ears while loud ddrum sounds will keep you off balance.

Loud noise can cause internal damage to your ears. The tiny microscopic hairs inside will die away because of too much sound energy. Abrupt noises can cause immediate hearing loss and moderate-to-loud noises will make you loss your hearing gradually.

So, the next time you want to plug on to some sounds, do not take your ear for granted. You’ll never know how important it is, until you lose it.

QandnotU: ordered two packs for my teenage daughter’s birthday party. It was a sweet 16 so we were expecting a LOT of people. They arrived fast and I was pleasantly surprised with the quality. The beads were packaged well and none of them were damaged. My daughter and her friends made necklaces for everyone attending and there was also a station at the party for people to make their own necklaces. Everyone really enjoyed making the necklaces and I saw some very unique designs! These beads are really great, attractive and very easy to use and well worth it. I’m very happy with my purchase.

The most expressive part of the body are your eyes. Those little windows give way to one’s soul. Each look has a meaning. So, better to save them before it’s too late. Here are some eye-saving tips on how to take care of that important body part:
