In my household I have 2 teenage sons and a husband who all frequent the gym, have after school sports and are constantly getting sweaty! In the past two months I’ve introduced you to Clarisonic‘s SMART Profile system that helped me pack my travel bag with My #ClearlyClarisonic Travel Bag Essentials Checklist and helped my daughter keep clear skin after her karate practices. Today I bring you their unique system that is specifically for men’s skin.

Last month I introduced you to the benefits of Clarisonic with the post: My #ClearlyClarisonic Travel Bag Essentials Checklist. This month the Clarisonic SMART Profile System was put to the REAL Test… my 10 year old daughter who is in karate and always comes home with major oily and grimy skin! To say the least she is…well a Tom Boy… no frilly, girly dresses for her, she loves to play hard and show off her high block at karate with the other boys! I always tell her to wash her face when she gets done with karate, but she doesn’t like taking a washcloth, the cleanser, a towel and all of the other lotions I give her to karate practice.

I really like how convenient it is for kids to carry Clarisonic’s SMART Profile System because it fits easily into a gym bag, along with the cleansers, and a towel and they are set.

Clarisonic’s Benefits for Kids, Tween, Teenagers:

I don’t know about your tween or teenager but mine is lucky to run through the shower or splash a drop of water on her face! So when I told her to try it out she loved the bristles and how it lathered on her face. She said her skin felt like it could breathe afterwards. (That’s a good thing… right?)

• Clarisonic is safe, gentle & effective
  • Clarisonic devices cleanse 6x better than hands alone
    • Smart Profile, our top-of-the-line device, cleanses 11x better than hands alone and can also be used with body and pedi brush heads for a head-to-toe sonic cleanse
  • Safe to use twice daily
  • Only takes 60 seconds to cleanse – after all your teen won’t spend more time than that!
  • Clarisonic helps to improve skin conditions like acne and rosacea and helps with kids’ hormonal skin.

The Clarisonic kit came with:

• Clarisonic SMART Profile System with Dynamic Facial Brush Head, Turbo Massage Body Brush Head, Refining Skin Polish, Refreshing Gel

Even in the karate bathroom she can wash up quickly with Clarisonic

Here’s a Clarisonic Video to show you how easy it is for kids to use:

The best part about the Clarisonic system is that it’s helped me convince my daughter how important it is to keep clear skin after exercising, playing, and getting grimy in the hot and sweaty Florida heat. Once she felt the difference on her skin I will be surprised if she ever goes back to just a wash cloth and little water again!

Next month I’ll show the men how to pack for the gym, travel, or the office with the Alpha Male Clarisonic device made especially for them.

Water is one of the elements on this planet that is great for the Earth and your body.  Water is a necessity to the human body’s survival.  A person can live a month without food but only about a week without water.  That just goes to show how important water is for everyone.  Plus, just taking in sips of water a day will ensure a healthy body for life, and you can try delicious flavored water recipes here!

Your Body will be More Comfortable

Drinking more water will help to keep your body warm in the winter and cool in the summer.Your body’s temperature-regulating system is controlled by the hypothalamus in the brain which constantly collects information that allows it to make adjustments to maintain a fairly steady core temperature. Your internal thermostat works better when you are well hydrated.

Your Skin Will Glow

Water naturally moisturizes skin to ensure proper cellular formation underneath layers of skin to give it a healthy, glowing appearance.

You will Keep Healthier

Hydration keeps your mucus membrane in top working condition—they are known as the gatekeepers to the natural defense system that helps keep out the germs such as the cold and flu virus.  When these tissues dry out, the germs can become more easily to penetrate where the nasal passages and mouth meet.  The severity of an illness you catch can be a lot lower if you drink plenty of water.

Help you to Lose Weight

Water is a filler, so when you drink the minimum amount of water you will feel full and will eat less.  Studies have shown that those who drink water before meals consume an average of 75 fewer calories per meal.  Plus when your body is working closer to maximum efficiency it enhances the digestion, muscle function and exercise.

Helps to De-Stress your Body

Just by sipping water throughout the day you can help to soothe stress-induced symptoms like headaches, tense muscles, fuzzy thinking, a pounding heart and low energy.  That’s because stress pulls all of your basic body systems—and when you’re not hydrated, the effects are intensified.  So keep a battle of water on you to be reminded to drink your water.

Here are some effective skin care solutions you have at home:

Cucumber

This is an awesome option as an alternative to commercial eye creams. Cucumber is an effective aid in eliminating dark shades around your eyes. It has a cooling effect that refreshes your eyes. Just cut a slice of cucumber and place it on top of your eyes for twenty minutes.

Milk

Milk is not only for internal use but also for external purposes. It helps exfoliate and lighten skin for dark spots. You just need cotton balls and gently rub on the surface of your skin. Then leave it for about 30 minutes. Rinse it with lukewarm water.

Honey

You can use honey to effectively exfoliate your skin. This is a natural way to smoothen the rough surface of your skin by removing the dead skin cells on the outer layer. You can add a few drops of lemon or vinegar for better results. Rinse it off with warm water. Do these three times a week.

These solutions are all natural and proven to be effective. However, there may be instances that some people may experience allergies upon application. If this happens, stop using and consult your dermatologist.

Simple DIY Beauty Trick for Healthier Skin: The Aspirin Mask

[ad#co-1]

There are quite a number of beauty tips and tricks that people take advantage of. Some of these beauty regimens are effective but some are not. Still, many people are looking for the best beauty tips and tricks that will satisfy their desires.

The aspirin mask is one of the beauty tips that are getting popular these days. You can see this concept in many beauty-related readings like magazines, newsletters and even in social media. Aspirin is known to be an effective anti-inflammatory medicine. It can be taken internally or topically. The effect of this medicine is to help in reducing redness and calming inflamed skin. This makes it very effective for rosacea and acne.

Aspirin mask:

• Mix the few aspirin pills or powder in a tablespoon of warm water.
• Add a few drops of aloe vera or honey.
• Apply into your face gently. Leave for 10 – 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly.

That’s it! You can now get rid of acne and other facial blemishes.  Use this mask in moderation and consult with your physician or dermatologist to see if this mask will work with your skin type.

Now that summer is in full swing how are you treating your skin? Have you been wearing sunscreen? Have you gotten skin burn despite your efforts? According to Women’s Health, there are still ways to reverse skin damage! Here are tips that will help keep your skin looking its best and still protecting it up from future skin damage.

[ad#co-5]

Step 1: Exfoliate The Right Way

You want to smooth your skin to create brightness and luster, and chemical exfoliation is the best way to do just that, Schultz says. Chemical exfoliation dissolves dead skin cells instead of scrubbing them off (usually unevenly) the way buffers and granule cleansers do.

Step 2: Beat Brown Spots

The next step is to rid yourself of those brown splotches. While the product you need is commonly called “skin bleach,” there’s nothing bleachy about it. It will have the end effect of lightening the brown areas of your skin, but it will do so by stopping the skin’s uneven production of melanin (brown pigment) that your skin churns out when it tries to fight UV radiation.

Step 3: Burn No More

To maintain your improvement, use sunscreen every day to prevent additional damage. New FDA recommendations emphasize using sunscreen labeled as broad spectrum (meaning it protects against both UVA and UVB rays) with SPF values of 15 or higher.

Step 4: Arm Yourself With Antioxidants

Dermatologists recommends nightly use of antioxidant-rich topical creams. Antioxidants help protect the skin’s DNA to prevent cancer while also protecting the collagen and elastic tissue from free radicals that can cause wrinkles and sagging skin.
