stressed, relaxed, if we smoke, if we eat properly. thinking this in is our barrier i so the skin process is all the external factors works. most him. oh good. do you see how'd moisturizers and massages can help look after the skin help it regenerates and improve its appearance. if the skin lacks nutrients, it shows it is bluff, wouldn't you lunch? hale wounds take longer to heal. the skin looks tired and pallid. you have dark rings under your eyes. you can draw lot of conclusions from the skin tighten under hold. second, the skin is a miracle it breathes. it's equipped with some $200.00 sensory receptors per square centimeter,

which detect heat and cold. for example. the skin can change rapidly. goosebumps can pop up. mm. i list us, phosphorus shoe desk. everything we feel is reflected in our skin, what is your, our skin is full of tiny nerve endings in, according to how these nerve endings are activated at the skin reaction differently . who does it, for example, it turns red or switzer and so on. and on slider, some areas are especially sensitive. but how does the skin distinguish between pleasant and unpleasant sensations? all stimuli translated into electrical nerve impulses that then reach the brain via the spinal cord. davidson hard for our budget. dividends all processed in the brain, but she moves it compared with other previous experiences. kids, whether this sensation was pleasantly or unpleasant. ha, would opt us as it also depends where we're touched. woman built ledford,

the skin is associated with what we feel both literally and proverbially. just getting on did you haunt village zone? does edison. if something gets under your skin, it affects you deeply. dorothy said. b, vehicle what's going on in your psyche can manifest itself in your skin or we don't want to hold been the act your skin can crawl. for example, if kim is joe kitchen, burn out for sure. but i'm, but n o, and sometimes intense touching of the skin can stimulate feelings of love, octopuses, squids and cuttlefish have an unusual ability. they can change the color and texture of their skin, rendering them nearly invisible. elephant hide, meanwhile becomes permeable in the heat, allowing for increased perspiration. the wrinkles and cracks and their skin also

a daily shower is the latest hollywood trend. julia roberts and jennifer aniston, apparently only take one a week for the sake of their skin and environment. how many days could these germans hold out? to like 2 days? one is love is when i can't smell myself anymore and pest one or 2 days max if necessary, 3 days. is it healthier to go lights on the soap and order that depends on your skin types, as dermatologist, oldish kuna dry skin in particular, can benefit by you them. but when we wash, in particular with soap or shower jail, the lippard barrier the skins layer of natural fat is removed. so that can really dried out, is all the skin surfaces no longer intact, in the skin becomes much more irritated, showering less uses less water. so it's good for the environment to convinced the body odor is dreadful. no glasses, it's better for years. again,

if you don't constantly use open water, but personally, i can't imagine it of issue cuts finish 1st and the so makes you feel better to get under the shower and switch off to shogun. showering less often doesn't mean more body odor. just the quick rinse can do the trick of walk and it body order primarily arises in our arm, pits or groin. ask firstly to skin surfaces, meet there so the sweat can't evaporate. it remains therefore longer and bacteria then goes to work on the sweat producing odors in those regions, the armpits, in general areas, we have different sweat glances that produce, went with a stronger, smelled psion. and we don't have to banish cleansing products, but it's worth checking. the ph of your shower joe. this did it is usually listed on the packaging or you'll often see the ph there and it should be 7 or below you, for example, neutral or slightly acidic again. so this hollywood trend could soon start washing

over germany is audiologists have discovered that even now stone age ancestors enjoyed to plant face pampering, but the cradle of cosmetics is ancient. egypt, where women and men used ointments, creams and makeup, made from honey wax, flower, oils, minerals, tinctures, milk and animal bile, and plans. they also mummified courses using natural preservatives away have been racing their dead. in the 1950s cosmetics, as we know them became a booming business. they were based on petroleum, alcohol, and chemicals. but they were also expensive, and many women had their own skin care solutions. and today, we can probably learn

a thing or 2 from them. 19 fifties style beauty was achieved without the help of high erotic acid, expensive anti cellulite lotions and peeling creams. unlike today, only very simple cosmetics and beauty products were available. with back then, women conjured up their flawless images with the help of time honored tricks, but which of them really work dry brushing, perhaps in the battle against cellulite and flaky skin, women brush their legs as often as possible. talking 1st, dr. brushing is very effective for the circulation, and the skin becomes softer and finer, even after the 1st round. it stimulates cell renewal. dead skin cells are removed, so the skin can breathe. i ottoman can. soup have used a natural bristle brush, not a plastic one, and then apply moisturizer cream instead of peeling creams. women of the 50s used

coffee grounds. massaging skin with these brown clumps is supposed to remove dead skin cells without your station is recommended. coffee is not, is coffee grounds are very well suited to stimulating blood circulation, even in the skin, thanks to their caffeine content. the powder will finally peel the skin, gently removing dead cells that gives it a regenerative effect. and it also works for cellulite being tenderly coffee grounds are best combined with olive oil to prevent the skin from drying out. there was also a secret weapon against blemishes, tooth paste was believed to dry our acne and soothe inflammation. so almost high in grandmas day, it may have been all right, to apply tooth paste to acne. it would have dried it out, but modern tooth paste contains many extra ingredients like menthol and fluoride,

which irritate the skin. another remedy for itchy painful skin and their bag of tricks. black tea back then, many believed that a black tea compress would alleviate it, she or irritated skin and foolish of liked he is something i still recommend to my patients. it works on inflamed patches of skin and irritated exema. also inflamed mosquito bites it has a soothing effect, and the tannin and black t dries out skin lesion. this is to hold as you on auction. almost next comes the relaxing part even to day. cucumber is seen as a true miracle worker. ness is an actual real insiders, tip and cucumbers are packed with vitamins a, b, and c, and also contain lots of minerals and don't underestimate the high water content. cucumbers can be an inexpensive alternative to anti aging creams. simple, yet incredibly effective. no wonder the women of the 1950s looked so gorgeous.

the global beauty industry is worth about $300000000000.00 a year. that's about as much as mexico's federal budget. think about all the products we apparently can't live without nail polish. hairs spray hair dye, soap bubble balls, deodorant lipstick, shaving foam. i line a perfume mascara foundation plot. we spend most of our money on skin care. how can we possibly use up all the products we buy before they best before date. how many potions and lotions do you have hanging around in your bathroom and how long do they actually keep? we want to find out where the old cosmetic products might even pose a health problem. so we're going to visit monica, a saw he and sally the 3 women have quite

a collection of cosmetics in their bathrooms. we take a closer look. sometimes it's obvious what sold. other containers come marked with a range of expiry. symbols. 12 m means it's best to use it for up to 12 months off to opening other products have a specific best before date printed on them. the women soon find a few items that have had a bad day of shopping. i found a solution that i have had for quite a long time. you know, how long? maybe 4 or 5 years since my hear from ya have lunch a. so he is an opera singer and was makeup on the stage. she also find something that's pretty old. as a javier is a i found this cleansing moose. so then it's been lying in her basket for years, but it's only meant to keep for 6 months. sally likes natural cosmetics. she also

find something that has been gathering dust chapter. i haven't touched it for years . have talked to y'all, ha, is a dermatologist and reisa. she knows how to tell when cosmetics of past, their prime no matter how old dale is, is natoya guns. we think it's vital that you'd use your common sense when you shouldn't use any thing where the ingredients have separated turned a strange color or smell odd. or if you already know something is very old to me, to support when cosmetic products expire, than their ingredients change, they can decompose, become rancid. the molecules can change, for example, allergens, can be produced that make your skin ich, or unwanted organisms like bacteria or mold can get into them leading to skin infections from when it comes to skin care products, you shouldn't just look at the expiry date. how you store an item also plays

a big role. if we keep food in the fridge, it stays fresh for longer. is that true for all lotions and potions to fans in this me? but as with food, you should treat your skin care products well, store them in a dry and dark place because light can break down their basic ingredients. don't keep them where it's too warm and be hygienic. use a small spatula, or a cotton swab, not your fingers, or buy something in a dispenser. and our call for when it comes to natural cosmetics, storage is especially important. they don't contain synthetic preservatives such as parables, so formaldehyde, but that doesn't automatically make them safer. going that fit come on. you can have just as strong an allergic reaction to fresh natural cosmetics as you can to conventional ones. because they also contain substances that, that your skin might not like such as fragrances and essential oils and natural

acids, which are often used to prolong these products. shelf life con. dr. oddler advice is caution with one product in particular. thus, and this is actually very skin friendly and much used sunscreen, which works well. it contains a chemical u, v filter called octo cry lien, which is in many different products. and it was suspected that it might have a hormonal influence on our bodies. and now studies have discovered that this substance breaks down into benzo for known within a year, or that's a very harmful and band sunscreen, which doesn't just destroy corals. it can also cause cancer inside. you should definitely dispose of any sun cream containing it at the end of the season song. interesting information for all 3 flatmates monica in particular, aims to check expiry dates more carefully. wanted in

a spec on the thumb escapes. i mean, if it causes cancer, then of course i wouldn't use it any more when the cynical, if it smells strange than i would use it any more either. but yes, i think i will pay a bit more attention. of course, there are few 5 that doesn't work was me take that off of fed. i wasn't aware of natural cosmetics, don't last. as long as conventional landlord's f, f indicates, kind of that won't stop me from buying them. i'll just have to use them up a bit more quickly, nelfa pow, her own skin care products can cause irritation and rushes in the case of some lotion, it might even cause cancer. we recommend you store your skin care products in a cool, dark place and labeled them with the dates you opened them. remember, if in doubt, throw them out with face creams that have gone funky, don't do the skin any good, but a lack of sleep can also take its toll, resulting and dark rings around the eyes, wrinkles and red, and puffy,

eyelids. and unfortunately, that affects our overall appearance. this reason why it's called beauty sleep. at night, our skin regenerates, rest helps boost metabolic processes and oxygen levels, and improve circulation. the skin also makes new college, and when we sleep, that improves elasticity. the home and melatonin protects against free radicals. so a good night sleep can ward off the signs of aging and you can give your skin an extra boost with the right breakfast. mm. a healthy diet can boost the health of our skin. here are 3 foods with scientifically proven skin health benefits. tomatoes, tomatoes contain a red pigment called like a pain. it's

a plant nutrient with anti oxidant properties, that's also good for our skin. so what are antioxidants exactly? when skin is exposed to some light or u, v light, it generates free radicals, highly reactive molecules that can damage the skin. and that can lead to premature skin aging or even cancer. but anti oxidants, like, like o pin can neutralize free radicals. that's why our lumps, tomatoes, sunflower, seed, oil. it might seem unassuming, but this oil is liquid gold for our skin, sunflower seed oil is rich and vitamin e, which is also a powerful antioxidant studies have shown that regular consumption of sunflower seed. oil also has anti inflammatory effects, and vitamin e also helps our body produce college in the protein that makes her skin firm and supple sardines. our skin protects us from dirt,

bacteria and toxins. and the skin's major line of defense is the natural lippitt barrier. made up of dead skin cells and the skins natural fats. fish such as sardines, help protect the skins liquid barrier, and fish oiled are high and omega 3 fatty acids which studies have shown are beneficial to skin health and appearance. one last tip. although tomatoes, sunflower, oil, and sardines are great skin boosters, they should be part of a healthy and varied diet. like the right food can do, just as much for your skin as the right face screen. using too much product or one that's not right for you can cause reddening blemishes and itching. make sure you know what you're putting on your skin, but sometimes the cause isn't in the bathroom cabinet,

but in the closet. so it's a pretty chilly day. some a woman cozy scarf can come in handy. but do you know this feeling too just a few moments after you've put it on your neck starts to which. why is that? we asked doctor cornelia v gand from you as university hospital. she immediately had an answer for us. the scarf is 100 percent wool. viola is a peggy staff wall is relatively rough on the skin, depending where it comes from, of course, and how it's been treated. fitting the fibers overlap and are usually open on the exterior sheep's wool in particular, i am by half. while i had mind us rough wool fibers i'll the culprit, we can see them best under the microscope. dr. vigour and looks at the scarf, magnified by $200.00 dizzying yo the fallen the year. you can see the fibers are

not completely smooth. they have raised bits and they are about to scaly. this is what produces the ha feeling the fibers overlap. they don't my smoothly next to one another. there is this odd open egg. i'll soon pop off in the canton. yeah. up and on. direct contact with will can create problems even for people with halsey skin. so what happens when someone with a skin disease, where's a will and scoff? dep hasn't what i mean? and it would simply make the patient feel extremely itchy because of the uppermost skin barrier layers would be opened up by the scratching on the wall and the patient would make it worse by scratching with their finger document moseto. moving on the now cause for such cases, clothing can be made out of special fabrics that incorporates silva o zinc fibers. they are in fact, cornelia vegans field of research. she's researching whether the special fabric destroys the micro organisms that live on every one's skin and trigger it ching to

simulate the situation. as realistically as possible. she dissolves the fabric samples in artificial sweat. d mclaughlin, essman d shape. listen for the micro organisms that are harmful for the patient or the person are damaged by the zinc or silver ions to the extent that they die off, he hadn't defeated dust down to make them extra skin friendly. these fabrics are also very finely woven under the microscope. you can see a clear difference to sheep swell yonder deposit window. here we have the bundled fibers that are twisted together and then woven normally doesn't guns. that creates a very smooth surface. in general, the processing of the fiber makes a big difference to how it feels are done filling up dishes for food. and that is also important for people without skin problems. natural materials like so, co,

cotton, or man made fibers like acrylic are usually easy on your skin, depending on how they're woven or try kashmir, though that might give you hypes simply because of the price. but don't worry, i'll weekly what i'll tip is completely free. guess what aurelia has got for us this time. hi and welcome to day. we don't use a bike. we use our make. we do a lovely worry ation of playing. so let's take a med and let's go go to your met. and thursday. i show you the plague for to playing you are on your 4 arms. you have straight legs, and then you try to stay in one line. this x is last is perfect for your mid line. for your bed, for your shoulders, it's just a whole body exercise,
