Product reviews: TRIA Laser hair removal system

The Tria home laser hair removal system is a product that is getting a huge boost in buzz thanks to its FDA approval as a legitimate permanent hair removal solution. Hype aside, the question is not only if it will work, but will it work for you, is it safe, and does it make sense for you to buy? Laser hair removal is a proved method for permanent results, but those results are not equal for all, and in some cases the Tria nor any laser hair removal system will work.

The basic premise of laser hair removal is that the laser reacts with the melanin in skin to work its way to the root of hair follicles which it then burns out so the hair will not grow back. The theory is simple and it works well for most people. Before we go any further let’s discuss who it will work the best for and who it is not suited for. People that have very fair skin and dark hair are the best candidates to achieve successful results. People with light hair -natural blonds specifically, and people with dark skin are the worst candidates. The laser simply has too much trouble identifying the are to be affected or in the cases of those with dark skin the laser may cause burns to the skin rather than the follicle root.

The Tria laser hair remover has one thing going for it aside from FDA approval which is of extreme importance and that is safety. Before the unit will emit a beam you have to remove the base of the unit and hold it against your skin until you get the green light. It takes about a second. You then hold it up to the main body of the unit that contains the laser so the green light triggers the red light on the unit to go green. You put the charger back in its place and you are ready to go.

The Tria has three settings – low, medium, and high. Low is the least effective but also the least painful. Medium works pretty well for most people, but of course the high setting is really the best. While I anticipated pain akin to what I’ve experienced from commercial laser hair removal units, the pain associated to the Tria on the high setting wasn’t too bad, no worse than a rubber band being snapped against your skin. Some may tolerate pain a little worse than others, but the Tria isn’t so much pain as mild discomfort you adjust to rather quickly.

The Tria is easy to work with and it only took about 40 minutes to completely finish one leg – I have a particularly long leg so for others it may go quicker. There were no hitches in the the Tria’s use nor were there any moments it seemed as if

Relaxed hair care secrets

Wouldn’t it be great if your hair could look like you had just stepped out of a salon everyday. Perfectly styled, glossy, straight or curly, strong, thick, luscious…but the reality of everyday life mean that you are more likely to just give your hair a quick brush or chuck it up into a ponytail. It’s all about practicality. But if you learn a few trade secrets that can be easily and quickly done, your hair can get that salon look everyday.

1) The first tip doesn’t actually need you to touch your hair and it won’t just make your hair look good but your skin and complexion too. People are always saying that if you are healthy, then your hair looks healthy too. Well I would recommend to take an all round vitamin that incorporates all major vitamins your body needs to stay looking and working well. If you don’t see a major difference when you have added his multi-vitamin to your diet, you could a more specific approach. Try taking vitamins with amino acids which will make your hair look glossy and more important healthy. If you are planning to add any tablets in the form of vitamins to your diet I would suggest that you ask your doctor for advice first, just to be on the safe side. If you don’t want to do down the tablet route, you could just add specific foods to your diet. Try fresh fish that is rich in Omega 3 and will provide your hair with essential natural oils to keep it moisturized. Drink the recommended two liters of water a day..this may seem like a lot but if you have a bottle of water with you at most times, you will drink it faster than you think. And of course you can eat more fruit and vegetables.

2) Make you own natural hair care products. People are always complaining about the costs of branded shampoos and conditioners but the very best products for your hair are already in your home. Why not just try mashing up an avocado and place it directly onto the hair that you have just rinsed. Leave it on for about 20 minutes and then rinse. Your hair won’t just smell great but look fantastic too. Try the same technique with a banana if you prefer the smell of that. Talk about cheap and cheerful.

3) Your hair is like a good rose bush. You need to prune it every so often to make sure that the good new stems can grow. Make sure that you have hair your hair trimmed every two to three months depending on the length of your hair. Do not think that if you are in the process of growing your hair you do not need it trimming. The split ends will not only look bad

Best ways to be beautiful

Being beautiful is more than putting make up on and brushing your hair. It takes something within you to find the best ways to be beautiful. Beauty is about taking care of yourself mind, soul and body. If you don’t take care of all three, you will not achieve your ultimate look of beauty.

Here are some tips for the best ways to look beautiful:

Smile

If you want to look your most beautiful, use the one most powerful natural beauty secrets, your smile. Take care of your teeth so that your smile shines more brightly. Smile often and don’t make it fake. Learn how to be happy all of the time and you will have the true secret of natural beauty which doesn’t cost a dime.

Eat Right

Eat fruits and vegetables that will help keep your skin in top condition. Stop putting the junk food in your mouth if you want to achieve one of the best ways to be beautiful. What you eat will show on your skin. The tone and texture of your skin ultimately comes down to what you eat on a daily basis. That includes what you drink. Drink milk and plenty of water to help. Eating right doesn’t just keep your insides healthy, it keeps your outsides looking their best too.

Make Up

Use make up, but not a lot of it. Use it sparingly to enhance your natural beauty. Putting on too much make up can cause you to look much older than you are and it looks fake. You want a natural look so don’t overdo it. You can add to your natural beauty without taking away from it.

Confidence

If you are going to find your best beauty, you will find it from having confidence in yourself. If you don’t have confidence in yourself, you will not look beautiful no matter how hard you try. People will pick up on it in a heartbeat and the beauty that you are trying to achieve will be covered over by the fact that you still don’t feel good about yourself.

These are the best ways to be beautiful at all times. You have to take care of yourself, both physically and mentally in order to achieve the most beautiful person you can be. It all works together to bring out the best of what you have to offer to others. Keep your head held high and enjoy the natural beauty within you.

How to remove gum from hair

Ways To Easily Remove Chewing Gum From Hair

When we think about it, it is pretty easy to get chewing gum in one’s hair. This is especially true if that someone happens to be a child. Young children have a tendency to chew gum and somehow, inexplicably, wind up getting in their hair and being a nightmare to get out.

This can lead to minor problems. As most people know, it is easy enough to get gum in hair but it’s not so easy to get it out. If you are the victim of a chewing gum nightmare please do not use scissors to cut it out. There are several ways to remove the gum from hair.

Sometimes, it seems the more you try to remove the gum from hair, the more tangled it gets. So use gentle methods to get it out. Do not go for messy methods, otherwise it may get embedded. There is a popular method called the ice cube method. Place several ice cubes in the plastic bag and hold this onto the gum. The gum should freeze and harden. It will be easier to break off and remove from hair afterwards.

If not, then use the second method but it is quite messy. Warm one teaspoon of vinegar and massage it into the hair all around the chewing gum. The gum will dissolve. Once the gum is removed wash with shampoo.  

Another method is by using cooking oil, but baby oil works faster. All you need to do is massage it around the gum until it is removed.

Eggs whites also work on chewing gum in hair. Place the egg whites on the affected spot and until the gum is removed. Shampoo as usual and rinse.

Another method to apply is by using simple and everyday butter. Melt the butter and put on the affected area. It should remove easily. After that, shampoo as usual.

A lubricant called ether also works as an aid in the removal of chewing gum. Apply to the gum and work into hair. You will also need a good shampoo and conditioner to help speed up repairing any damage. If none of the methods work then call the hair dresser. Do not put any harmful chemicals on it.

The last method is to cut the gum from hair. This is the last method if you are ready for bad hair cut because of chewing gum accidents.

Skin care: Best products for teens

The key to proper skin care as a teen lies in routine and consistency, as well as using the proper products. If order to see any improvement at all in your skin, you must develop a skincare ritual and stick to it every day. This routine can be broken down into three main parts: opening the pores, cleansing, and spot treatment if necessary. Various products are available for cleansing of the face as well as spot treatment of acne, with many levels of effectiveness.

Mild products are generally best for daily skin treatment: natural astringents like lemon juice or a strawberry mask can be very useful if you are concerned about absorbing artificial chemicals into your skin. Many of these treatments can be made easily at home with little effort or money required to prepare them. Although these treatments do not provide as immediate results as artificial treatments, they may be safer and more effective to use in the long run.

Alternatively, there are numerous artificial products available for skin treatment. Popular acne treatment systems like Proactiv and Clearasil use harsher chemicals like Benzoyl Peroxide and Salycic Acid as the active ingredient to get immediate results. The downside to using these harsh chemicals is that they often cause peeling and dryness of the skin, and may even contribute to further acne breakouts as the skin becomes resistant to the treatment. If you wish to use systems like these ones, you should either purchase a good facial moisturizer, such as Cetaphil, or use products with concentrations of active ingredient 5% or greater only sparingly.

In addition, there are acne care solutions that can only be purchased with a doctor’s prescription. Prescription Azelex is a highly effective treatment for moderate to severe acne that uses Azelaic Acid as the active ingredient. Azelex has the same type of effectiveness as Proactiv and Clearasil, without the negative side effects of dryness, peeling, and further breakouts. The downside to Azelex is that it is only available from the prescription of a dermatologist, and is fairly expensive to purchase if not covered by your insurance policy.

Over the counter acne treatments are available at a fairly reasonable price, and many can be as effective, if not more effective, than more expensive treatment systems. Stridex pads use a lower concentration of Benzoyl Peroxide and Salycic Acid (2%) that seems to be very effective in treatment of acne. In my own experience, I find that a daily ritual of cleansing with Safeguard Antibacterial Soap, use of a Stridex pad, and moisturizing with Cetaphil is the most effective skin care treatment. It is important to note, however, that everyone’s skin is different, and that this approach may not work for everyone.  

There are countless acne and skin care treatments on the market. Since everyone’s skin is different, only you can decide what works the best for you. If you have concerns about skin health or potential side effects of products, you should talk to your family physician or a licensed dermatologist. Remember that any acne regimen will require time to work properly. The best solution lies for your acne lies in establishing a skin care routine and sticking to it.
