Individuals with imperfect vision now have an option available to them that will correct their vision while reducing the need for glasses or contacts. This procedure is called Lasik eye surgery and it corrects vision problems for patients.

The way Lasik eye surgery works is relatively simple, fast and with minimal pain. And fortunately, the price of lasik eye surgery is becoming more affordable.

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that reshapes the cornea. The process that is used for this sounds a bit dangerous, but is being performed with huge success rates all over the world.

First, the eye is numbed a bit with a solution and the ophthalmologist takes a special knife and cuts a small flap in the cornea of the patient’s eye. The flap is left connected to the eye so there are only three sides cut. Then, the ophthalmologist pulls the flap back exposing the second layer of the cornea known as the stroma.

Don’t wait until bedtime to remove dirt, makeup, dust and pollutants from the face. If you’re in for the night, wash your face as soon as you get home for the day and apply eye cream and moisturizers.

Avoid soda, coffee and other caffienated beverages. These drinks dehydrate your body and rob moisture from the skin. Instead, make sure you drink plenty of purified water throughout the day. Water helps to plump your skin with moisture and it improves circulation. Try to drink enough water that you are never actually thirsty. I recommend a “Wellness Water?” purification system.

Use sunscreen everyday, not just when you are headed to the beach. It’s never too late to start protecting your skin from the damaging effects of the sun. Wearing a sunscreen with at least SPF 15 everyday can protect your skin from premature aging, wrinkling, and age spots.

Being outdoors is not the only element to take into consideration when factoring in your amount exposure to the sun. You also need to note the intensity with regards to climate, the season, location and time of day. For example, just because you may be hiking in a cool mountain region or snow skiing, doesn’t mean you should through all caution aside. Wind and UV rays still reach you so protection would be wise. And surfaces with reflective qualities; snow, water, sand, etc. can intensify UV ray harm.

And activities that make you work up a sweat or that involve water, with a potential to wash off your sunscreen, need to be handled a little differently; like basketball, jogging, sun bathing on a hot beach, biking, water skiing, jet skiing, parasailing and outdoor work and exercise. Choose a sunscreen product for these activities with both UVA and UVB coverage and an SPF of 15 or higher, when possible. And for water / sweat activities, choose a product that offers a waterproof or water-resistant agent. Dress appropriately, too, by covering up as much skin as possible, like wearing long sleeves, a scarf or hat, slacks or jogging pants.

And don’t forget your eyes; the sun’s UV rays can cause cataracts. There are plenty of stylish UV-opaque sunglasses in all price ranges for both genders in a variety of stores, today ranging from the corner drug store to the local optometrist’s office.

Age ? There are only a couple words of caution about age. First of all, health care providers do NOT recommend using alcohol-based sunscreen products on children. And they do NOT recommend using sunscreen agents of any type on babies under the age of 6 months. For children older than 6 months, a lotion is the preferred form of sunscreen, over a spray, for example. And the SPF should be a minimum of 15.

If you’re a shutterbug like me, and you enjoy taking photos outdoors, you will often find yourself in direct sunlight.

Other than protecting yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, and by applying sunscreen every two hours, there is one more thing you can do. And it’s good for your photos and you–

Take pictures in early morning or late afternoon when the sunlight, including UV light, is less intense.

When the sun intensity peaks around noon, and you shoot some pictures, you’re likely to see harsh dark shadows and very bright highlights. These translate into light and dark areas in your photos and an absence of detail.

“The worst possible lighting for people portraits is direct sunlight at high noon,” says the editors of Photographic Magazine in Complete Idiot’s Guide to Photography Like a Pro. Read the rest of this entry »

Do you dread trying to find a cosmetic because you know that the chances are that will cause your skin to burn and red? You have a bathroom cupboard full of creams and lotions that you used only once or twice because they reacted badly with your face? So you’ve got sensitive skin, which is probably the most frustrating to have the skin type. So how can you handle it?

The main problems with sensitive skin are redness, burning, tightness, dryness and irritation. This type of skin can also be prone to dermatitis, eczema or acne. The first approach would be to find out if an allergy is causing the problem.

A dermatologist can perform a test patch to see if you are susceptible to one of the most common allergens. It can be an ingredient in a cosmetic, it can even be a food allergy or food intolerance. If allergy is ruled out, the problem is genetic and there are still several things that can be done to improve the situation.

When you buy a cosmetically always look for “hypoallergenic” on the label. This means that not ensure that won’t reply to your skin, but it does mean that some or most common allergens are omitted from the product, such as sulphates, perfumes and some colors, see the label if you are unsure.

Preservatives used to increase the shelf life of a product can be some of the main irritants. Put a little bit on a small patch of skin before spreading all over your face.

Try to find products with fewer ingredients, more ingredients of a product, the more likely your skin will find it doesn’t like it! Avoid perfumes in anything you put on your face, it is an unnecessary ingredient and included only to make the product commercially unacceptable.

Don’t use exfoliants on sensitive skin, even the gentlest ones are still too harsh, ditto with harsh soaps. Forget toners and astringents that contain alcohol, they are too drying. Try cleansing only at night with perhaps a splash of warm water in the mornings, over-cleansing can irritate sensitive skins. Read the rest of this entry »
