Love the fresh smell of soft baby skin.  Makes you want to eat them up they are so delicious!   However, in the first few weeks babies are born they retain some of the mothers hormones which can cause minor skin conditions.  So caring for that soft sensitive skin is so important.  Baby skin is much thinner and less oily than adults.  This make them a little more prone to skin irritation in the first few months of life.

What should we do to prevent skin irritations?  The first problem many mothers experience is heat rash.  This is a skin condition which covers areas of baby with tiny little heat bumps.  This rash condition can be prevented by not over dressing the baby.  When baby is over dressed the baby sweats causing this rash condition.  Baby powder sprinkled in areas will help absorb moisture and help keep baby skin looking pure and silky.  

Baby shampoo is gentle without  lot of chemicals and this will help with cradle cap and not cause any type of skin irruptions.  When purchasing any type of baby product check the ingredients.  Make sure they are pH balanced with healing herbs such as Soy Calendula Oil and other friendly healing herbs.  Do not purchase harsh and products with a lot of fragrances that baby can be allergic to.

Products containing Avocado oil which are easily absorbed into skin with a good source of vitamin A, D and E are highly recommended. Natural and soothing is what baby skin needs.

Baby lotions with the powerful Vitamin E helps and protects against UV-induced inflammation of the skin.  This vitamin is a derivative from soy.  Check all the labels of skin and hair care products for baby to be sure they are natural and mild.  Baby skin is much more sensitive than adult skin.  Take precaution when taking baby outside.

Use hats to protect the baby’s face and use sunblock especially for infants and toddlers.  Do not use adult sun block.  Watch soaps, lotions, sun screens to be sure they are made only for baby.  A little reading will help prevent skin irritations.  Eliminate purchasing products that contain synthetic fragrances, artificial colors which can be highly irritating to baby.  

Try and let mother nature do her job and use mild products for baby skin care.  Botanical extracts and essential vitamins such as A, C & E are safe but only use in small amounts when caring for baby’s skin.  Baby products containing natural and herbal extracts maybe a little more expensive, but they are safer and healthy for baby.

Our hair can takes a beating everyday. We use styling products, straightening or curling irons, or allow the sun to do its worst. As a result, we end up with damaged hair that has seen better days. So, how does one take care of and fix damaged hair?

Hair products

The first thing that you can do to fix your damaged hair is to buy or use a few hair products that will nourish and protect your hair. If you are going to buy your hair products, choose a few items that are made specifically for damaged hair. And, if you want to take it a step further, you can buy all-natural products that use non-harsh natural ingredients.

If you want to make your own hair care products, you might want to start with herbs and certain flowers. For instance, using a rosemary/mint wash will give your hair a beautiful natural scent and make it sleek and shiny. To create this wash, you will need a few sprigs of rosemary and mint. Place the sprigs into a few cups of water into a saucepan. Allow to boil for at least five minutes. Then, take the pan off the heat and allow to cool, either to room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Use a conditioner that is not too thick. Only use the conditioner on the tips or ends of your hair, never on the roots. If you use conditioner on the roots, you will leave your hair too greasy and flat. You can use a leave-in conditioner and wash it out after a few hours. You may either buy your conditioner, or make your own.

To make your own conditioner, you can use “good” oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, or olive oil. Or, you can mix oils together. Then, massage the oil mixture into your scalp for ten minutes, and allow to sit for at least three or four hours, or even overnight. Then, wash out thoroughly (shampoo your hair at least twice).

Perform the oiling routine twice a week until you see results.

Wash/care routine

If you want to make your hair really shine, make sure you are using cool to moderately cold water when you wash your hair. Never use really warm or hot water as this could scald your scalp and leave your hair feeling brittle and dry.

Brush your hair only after it has been allowed to air-dry. Your hair is vulnerable when it is wet, and you could easily pull out more than double or three times the amount of hair as you would if you comb your hair when it is dry.

Try not to use your straightening or curling iron more than once a week. Do not dye your hair more than once a month. If and when you use these products, you may want to do an intense conditioning session (with the oils as described above) at least two or three times afterwards.

If you have damaged hair, you may follow these pieces of advice. But, if you feel that you need a permanent solution, you may want to wait for your hair to grow out and cut the damaged length off.

Getting blond hair is quite exciting. The beautiful platinum locks make you look really different and much more feminine.

Before you get overly excited, you need to know that bleached blond hair demands special care. If you fail nourishing and washing it properly, blond hair may soon lose its shine and gold nuances.

Initially, you will face problems while bleaching your hair. It will be nearly impossible to get the exact color you want from the first time. You will need to endure several bleaching procedures until you manage to achieve the desired platinum looks.

Taking care of your color is of uttermost importance, since your hair will lose its shine only after several washings. Selecting the proper blond hair care products will help you maintain the exact nuance that you fell in love with.

Select shampoos, conditioners and masks that have been especially designed for maintaining the color of blond hair.

Select products that contain olive extracts. Olive oil nourishes hair deeply.

Keep in mind that a simple change of shampoo can lead to unpleasant alteration of hair color. Stick to the products that you have already tested and approved.

Use products that have UV filters and will protect your hair from the harmful sunrays.

Bleaching depletes hair of important proteins. Bleached hair often becomes lifeless and thin. Select a nourishing mask that has been designed especially for hair that has undergone such severe treatment. Apply the mask once per week.

Excessive bleaching can entirely destroy the hair, making it exceptionally breakable. Before you decide to go for platinum hair, think carefully about the consequences and the difficult maintenance and care that this type of hair demands.

Refrain from washing your hair every day. The shampoo will make it even dryer. Using a conditioner each time is a must.

Be careful when brushing and combing your hair. Refrain from brushing wet hair – this is when it is exceptionally vulnerable.

Limit the usage of your hairdryer. If you must form the perfect hairstyle each time, select an ionic dryer which brings less harm.

Blondes often suffer from split ends, as a result of the bleaching procedure. To make your hair stronger, apply vitamin sprays to the edges. Some of these sprays contain silicone that makes hair shinier and more elastic.

If your blond hair loses the color and starts turning yellowish, refrain from bleaching again at home. Many women believe that they can effortlessly carry out the procedure in domestic environment. Hairstylists use special products to maintain the color of hair that has already been bleached. These products cause less damage. Visit your hairstylist instead of applying harmful chemicals on your own.
