A WOMAN IS A GIFT TO MAN

For a woman, there is only one most important thing in life, which she should learn from childhood - to absorb, accumulate, and store energy. It is her destiny.

CALMNESS WITHIN-The phoenix girl

A woman has a great mission - to be an inexhaustible energy source of joy, optimistic, beautiful, source of light for the whole family. It is important for every woman to know that she is beautiful. This creates a fulfilling feeling. From kind words of her man she becomes beautiful, soft, gentle, playful, and blooms even more.

MAKE YOUR LADY BLOOM LIKE A FLOWER : ETERNAL HAPPINESS

A smart man knows how to make his beloved become even more beautiful. The more he cares about his woman, the more luxuriantly she blooms like a flower and fills her man with her energy. The most valuable and precious thing in the world is a woman’s' energy. No amount of money can buy it. Therefore, a man willing to become stronger and alive, is the one who is able to give his woman all she needs, to generate more energy into herself and her man. So, whatever you give to a woman, she gives back more. Give and receive, it is mutual.

Lose weight healthily (Healthy Diet tips-Healthy Lifestyle)

Losing weight should be healthy and not risky. Read the following on how you can lose weight with delicious foods.This tips are not only to lose weight, but also to engage in a healthy lifestyle.

Cinnamon

Studies suggest cinnamon may have a stabilizing effect on blood sugar levels. This could curtail appetite, particularly in people with type 2 diabetes. Nearly everyone can benefit from cinnamon in its traditional role. Stir some into your coffee, tea, or yogurt to add sweetness without adding calories.

Hot Peppers

Hot peppers contain a flavorless compound called capsaicin. This compound appears to curb appetite and speed up the metabolism slightly, but only for a short time. This has a significant impact on weight loss. But, people tend to eat less when their food is spicy.

Green Tea

Several studies suggest green tea may promote weight loss by stimulating the body to burn abdominal fat. Green tea contains catechins, a type of phytochemical that may briefly affect the metabolism. To get the most benefit, you may need to drink green tea several times a day. It is recommended to take it with your tea hot, because it takes longer to drink, providing a soothing, mindful experience.

Grapefruit

While grapefruit doesn't have any magical fat-burning properties, it can help dieters feel full with fewer calories. Having half a grapefruit or a glass of grapefruit juice before a meal may help fill you up, so you eat fewer calories during the meal.

Watermelon

Foods that are high in water content take up more room in the gut, This signals the body that you've had enough to eat and leaves less room for other foods. Many raw fruits and vegetables are chock-full of water and nutrients, but low in calories. Watermelon is a great example. It's a rich source of the antioxidant lycopene and adds some vitamins A and C to your day, too.

Pears and Apples

Pears and apples are also high in water content. Eat them with the peels for extra fiber, which will keep you full longer. It is recommended to take whole fruits rather than fruit juice. Not only do you get more fiber, you have to chew the fruits. This takes longer and requires some exertion. You actually burn a few calories chewing, as opposed to gulping down a smoothie.

Berries

Like other fruits, berries are high in water and fiber, which can keep you full longer. But they have another benefit -- they're very sweet. This means berries can satisfy your sweet tooth for a fraction of the calories you would take in gobbling cookies or brownies. Blueberries stand out because they're easy to find and loaded with antioxidants.

Raw Vegetables

Raw vegetables make an outstanding snack. They satisfy the desire to crunch, they're full of water to help you feel full, and they're low in calories. Half a cup of diced celery has just eight calories. It is suggested to coat celery with a little peanut butter or dunking carrots in salsa. When you're in the mood for chips and dip, try replacing the chips with raw veggies.

Sweet Potatoes

Think of the typical toppings on your baked potato -- butter, sour cream, maybe cheese and bacon bits. If you substitute a sweet potato, you might not need any of that. Baked sweet potatoes are so full of flavor, they require very little embellishment. This can save you loads of calories. As a bonus, sweet potatoes are packed with potassium, beta carotene, vitamin C, and fiber.

Eggs

Studies suggest eating protein in the morning will keep your hunger at bay longer than eating a bagel or other carbs. One egg has only 75 calories but packs 7 grams of high-quality protein, along with other vital nutrients. If you have high cholesterol, one egg is almost all the cholesterol you should have in a day. Choose egg whites, which are cholesterol free.

Coffee

It sounds too good to be true -- one of your favorite beverages may actually help rev the metabolism and help you lose weight. Coffee does stimulate the metabolism -- a little. 

Oatmeal

Oatmeal has three things going for it: fiber-rich whole-grain oats, lots of water, and it's hot. This is a very filling combination. Hot food takes longer to eat, and all that liquid and fiber will help you feel full longer. "Don't buy the one that's already sweetened," "You can choose how to flavor it." Stirring in cinnamon or nutmeg will give you a sweet taste with less sugar.

Crispbreads

Whole-grain rye crackers, sometimes called crispbreads, offer a low-fat, fiber-packed alternative to traditional crackers. Research suggests people who replace refined grains with whole grains tend to have less belly fat. Whole grains also provide a richer assortment of plant nutrients. This doesn't just apply to crackers. You can get the same benefits by switching to whole-grain breads, cereals, and pastas.

Tabouli

A standout whole grain is bulgur wheat, the type found in tabouli. It's high in fiber and protein, but low in fat and calories. That helps you fill up with a minimum of calories. The rich taste makes it satisfying. "It's flavorful, so you don't need to add a lot of oil,". To turn this dish into a meal, It is suggested adding beans and stirring in extra tomato, cucumber, and parsley.

Soup

Soup -- we're talking broth-based, not creamy -- is a dieter's friend in several ways. It's full of water, which fills you up with the fewest possible calories. It's hot, which prevents you from guzzling it down too quickly. When eaten before a meal, soup can take up space that might have gone to higher calorie foods. You can also make a satisfying, low-calorie meal out of soup alone by adding chicken, fish, cut-up vegetables, or beans.

Salad

Another way to fill up before a meal is by eating salad. Lettuce has plenty of water content to take up space in the stomach. That leaves less room for fattier foods that might come later in the meal. Make your salad interesting by adding a variety of fruits and vegetables or grated cheese. But be careful about dressing, which can add a lot of calories. You can also use salsa, hummus, or black bean dip as dressing

Vinegar

If you dress your salad with oil and vinegar, you may get another fat-fighting benefit.  More research is needed, but some studies suggest vinegar may help the body break down fat. Whether or not this effect pans out,  vinegar is a good choice. It's full of flavor that can make salad more satisfying -- and it has no calories.

Nuts

Nuts are an excellent way to curb hunger between meals. They're high in protein, fiber, and heart-healthy fats. Studies suggest nuts can promote weight loss and improve cholesterol levels when eaten in moderation. The key is to "be careful with quantity,"

Air-Popped Popcorn

Three cups of plain, air-popped popcorn may seem like a whole lot, but the calorie content is low. All that air adds volume without adding fat or sugar. "When people are looking to snack, they don't stop at 10 potato chips,"  They want to have their fill, and a big bowl of popcorn delivers. "It's visually satisfying, plus it takes time to eat."

Skim Milk

Skim milk provides plenty of protein, calcium, and vitamin D with none of the fat found in whole milk. And even though it's fat-free, skim milk can help you feel full. It takes longer to leave the stomach than drinks with less protein.

Fish

One of the best sources of protein is fish. Studies show it's more satisfying than chicken or beef, probably because of the type of protein it contains. Most fish is low in fat, and the exceptions usually have a healthy form of fat -- omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3's, which are found in salmon, herring, and other fatty fish, appear to help protect against heart disease and other chronic conditions.

Beans

Beans deliver a nutritional triple punch, They're a vegetable, a protein, and a great source of fiber. This means they'll help you stay full for the price of very few calories. They're also easy to prepare when the munchies strike. Open a can of garbanzo beans and toss them into soup or salad or mash them up to use as a dip. One cup packs 12 grams of fiber, just 4 grams of fat, and 15 grams of protein.
Lastly and most importantly,do not forget about getting hydrated with a lots of water daily.

Sensitive skins causes and treatments

Taking care of sensitive skin problem

Sensitive skin starts when you start using the wrong products in your early teenage years.This is due to lack of information on chemicals from your products(face wash,cream and etc) that comes into contact with your skin. Scrubbing the face with harsh scrub products can also lead to redness which will be difficult to fade.

Sensitive skin condition

You know you have sensitive skin when:

1. Your skin becomes easily red after staying under sun even for short time
2. You experience discomfort such as itchiness
3. Your skin tends to get dry most of the time
4. Your'e more prone to breakouts
5. You have redness on your cheeks that does not fade
6. You have small purple veins around your nose(broken capillaries)

Sensitive skin needs special care,or else your skin will age faster than it has to be.

First of all change all of your face products to ORGANIC, this is important because sensitive skin can not take all the chemicals used in the normal cleansers. Organic products use natural ingredients found in the plants and the chemicals that are not harmful to your face.Most of the Organic products are free from paraben,fragrance,formaldehyde,petrochemicals and all the carcinogen ingredients. Thus it is very important to change:

1. Your face wash to cleansing milk,especially if you are using foaming cleanser,because this will make your skin even more drier which will lead to various skin problems that you do not want to face.Cleansing milk does not foam but cleans the skin perfectly and moisturizes as well.
2. Do not peel your entire skin, this will lead to thinning of the skin layer which will lead to extra sensitivity.If you want to get rid of impurities on your skin then peel only your nose area to get rid of blackheads.
3. Make sure you use thin layer of cream before going to bed,and if u put too much cream you will end up having nasty oil seed,which are difficult to get rid of.
4. Make sure you always always use an organic sun cream (SPF 30),before exposing your face to the sun.Sensitive skin is more prone to getting any freckle dots and age spots.
5. And most importantly, make sure you always keep your skin hydrated, which means you need to DRINK a loooot of water.

12 Rules for bringing out your super powers.

12 Rules of Inner Confidence

Written by :Molly Mahar 

This post is part of the curriculum for the digital, self-paced Fierce Love Course for women who to want to cultivate a strong sense of self-worth, inner resilience, and delicious kindness for themselves.

WANT TO RULE YOUR WORLD?

Life gets easier when you genuinely feel an inner confidence. Not cocky self-absorption or a fake-it-til-you-make-it attitude, but true comfort in your skin, radiant openness with others, and an understanding of your uniqueness.

You are amazing, woman!  It’s time for you to own it.

I’ve found a lack of trust and self-confidence can distract even the most vibrant woman from truly enjoying her life. And I want you to enjoy your life! We are made for celebrating! And laughter! And soul level clarity! And feeling damn good about our abilities and ourselves.

Inner confidence is a gift that plays out in so many ways. And best of all? It’s something you control.

So what are the secrets to Owning Your Amazing? Read on, woman, read on. 

#1 PRACTICE POSITIVITY

Do you think of hope as a combination of crossing your fingers, looking at the world through rose-colored glasses, and sending your wishes out into to the Universe? I used to… and then I found out that hope is something we can all practice; it’s something we could learn to use. Hope is a positive thought process (not an emotion) that boosts your self-confidence.

Hope helps you to keep putting in the hard work, even in the face of adversity, because we believe we are deserving of good things. Optimism makes it easier to get up, brush ourselves off, and start again with even more determination because we believe we are capable.

Practicing your positive outlook reinforces your sense of personal power. You are powerful, gorgeous. You can create change in your world. You can accomplish your sparkly or wild or daring dreams.

Positivity is not naive — it’s a sign of strength. Practice it in your self-talk, the way you share with others, your assumptions about the future, and by graciously accepting compliments.

#2 CONCENTRATE ON STRENGTHS

You are blessed with strengths. When explored and nurtured, they can be used to achieve inner confidence and activate your Amazing. Expression of our strengths makes us feel like our real selves. It invigorates us! It excites us! It makes us crave more ways to use those strengths!

And concentrating on our strengths is so much more fun than trying to force ourselves to become better at things we usually suck at, right?

A strength may come naturally to us, but we do need to make the choice to use it. Even if we are naturally creative, or brave, or diligent, or playful, or fair, we must still craft our lives so we get the chance to express our signature strengths on a daily basis.

We can absolutely find ways to use our strengths in work, love, play, and parenting when we are conscious of them. It’s just a matter of clarity and activation.

Turn it ON, hot stuff!

#3 STEP INTO YOUR PERSONAL POWER

Personal power is not about using force or manipulation to overcome, but rather, it’s about realizing our natural state of goodness. It’s about trusting our worth. It’s about harnessing our energy and confidence to make a positive difference in the world by simply being ourselves.

The incredible thing? You are already immensely powerful.

Perhaps you don’t feel it yet. Perhaps your natural radiance is muddied up with years of bottling your own opinions, of trying not to offend, of working desperately to shore up your “weaknesses” instead of expanding your innate talents.

But let me say this again: You are already immensely powerful.

When we believe we are good at a core level, it becomes more comfortable to function in this crazy, stressful world. We know how to treat others. We know how to treat ourselves. We know how to weed out the bullshit and return to the pure basics of the “good life”.

#4 STOP COMPARISONS

When you’re on a quest to rev up your confidence and Amazing, indulging in the comparison game and allowing it to fill you with envy is one of the worst things to do.

When you look at someones life and wish you had their cash flow, or partner, or adorable house, or amazing talent to seduce bartenders, there are two things that can happen:

1) You feel worse about your own life and resentful towards that person. You assume they have their shit together and you don’t. You get envious. Your successes seem to pale in comparison. You spiral into jealousy and a feeling of hopelessness. Why don’t you have what they have? You’re more deserving! It’s not fair!

2) You feel inspired. You think that it’s awesome that they have “that” in their lives. You take a moment to consider if it’s something you want in your own life. Does it fit into your definition of success? It does! You realize that if they can do it, so can you! You study. You plot. You start taking action. The dream stays alive and vibrant in your mind, because you know someone who has it/has done it!

The action is the same — comparing yourself to someone else. The reaction is the moment of choice — will this harm or help you? Most often, we have no clue how to use comparison to inspire us. In that case, it’s time to stop the comparisons.

#5 SPEAK UP

How often do you answer questions with “I don’t care” or “You decide” or “Whatever you think”? If you find yourself continually passing the ownership on decisions, you are telling your inner self that YOU don’t matter. You are sending a signal that your opinions or preferences don’t need to be stated.

I’m not saying you can’t express love or compromise by letting some- one in your world decide where you eat tonight or the proper format to present the big idea to the boss, but I am saying if it’s a habit, you are losing chances to build your confidence.

You’re a person. You have an opinion. And your opinion matters. You won’t always get your way (and you shouldn’t!) but you should know where you stand on things and be able to share that with others.

Speaking up is an easy way to practice fully inhabiting your life. Pick the movie this weekend. Choose the flavor of ice cream. Make the choice of what to do for girls’ night.

You’ve got this, babe!

#6 DO THINGS YOUR WAY

You, just as you are, are incredible. You, with all your freak flags flying or quirks on full display or idiosyncrasies rockin’, are perfect. In a tiny frame or with lush curves. With straight A’s or working hard to scrape by. When you tip your barista or when you turn down a party invitation. No matter! You in full force is what the world needs.

I don’t want you to let the notion of being nice or being liked or being popular hold you back from being You. Ditch the masks! Stop hiding behind others ideas of who you should be! Do things your own way and your inner confidence will soar.

Yes, there are a million photographers and bloggers and teachers and lawyers and artists and service reps out there. There are continents full of mothers and daughters and lovers and wives. Streets packed with dancers and letter writers and pie bakers.

But there is only one YOU.

You make a gorgeous impression in this world. Gifts and flaws, moments of grace and gutter balls, triumphs and let-downs. Really getting this concept can rock you to the core.

Talk about owning your Amazing!

#7 DITCH DOUBT

What might happen if you took away your fear of failure, your anxiety about making the wrong decision, or your self-doubt? Can you imagine what beautiful adventures you’d have? What kind of art you’d create? The positions you’d run for? How quickly you’d quit your mind-numbing job and find your real purpose? The difference you’d make?

The amount of brilliance you could put into the world blows my mind! You are capable of so many magical things right this moment, sugar.

We each need to learn how to face our fears and trust our choices. It’s not about eliminating your fear; it’s about recognizing that it’s present, understanding that it won’t kill you, and taking the big step/ chasing the brilliant dream/stretching what you think is possible anyway. It’s about beginning before you think you’re totally ready, when the idea is still tender and precious. It’s about stretching our capacity for uncertainty.

Clarity and knowledge come from action, not ruminating on doubts or unknowns. The only way to really know what is possible and how much you’re actually capable of is to just start DOING.

It’s time to stop doubting yourself and your desires. It’s time to DO. Eat those fears for breakfast, baby!

#8 LET THINGS LIGHT YOU UP

As adults, we tend to shy on the side of underwhelm. It’s not cool to be excited about the Sting concert or new neighbors or the fact that your grocery store is finally carrying sesame butter. It’s not hip to dance around in celebration of your new client. We bottle our emotions or only share complaints because it’s so much more acceptable to be critical or sarcastic or blasé.

Allowing yourself to go gaga for a new recipe, an amazing line in your novel, a new crush, or your brand new website feeds your childlike soul. Showing enthusiasm towards anything is a gift to you — a way to guarantee that you won’t fall into a too-cool-for-school slump of apathy.

Let things light you up! Share your passion! When you get excited about the little things in life, you’re reminding yourself that your delight is important.

And any reminder that YOU are important fuels your inner confidence.

#9 IGNORE THE HATERS

When you are living your life on your own terms, you’re going to have haters. By challenging your life’s status quo, you’re going to make others feel uncomfortable because they see your change, your sparkle, and your bravery as a direct judgment on the choice they are making to stay small, unhappy, or unhealthy.

Vocal haters will speak up and question your declarations, call you names, make a big fuss about the choices you are making in your personal life. Sneaky haters will try to sabotage your efforts, question your motivation, and smile to your face while whispering behind your back.

None of this “hate” is about you. It’s about how your choice to make deliberate decisions, to stretch, to declare that you are enough just as you are, and to own your Amazing is making them feel about themselves. Your haters are feeling threatened, scared, bewildered, or self-righteous. They’re lashing out at you because they’re not sure how to address the inconsistencies or lack in their own life.

That’s not on you, honey, that’s on them.

Your job? Ignore the haters. Feel empathy, or pity, or amusement — but do not let them get under your skin. It’s not your duty to please others; it’s your duty to honor yourself in whatever way feels authentic.

#10 GIVE WEIGHT TO INTEGRITY

Integrity. Wholeness. Honor.

Big words, eh? With them comes big responsibility. Building our inner confidence requires us to take accountability for our actions and reactions. When you stand up in your life and declare your intention to live fully, love hard, lead responsibly, honor your joy, you’re also declaring your intention to take responsibility for your choices.

It may not always feel this way, but we always have choice.

Choices to wake up with a positive attitude. Choices to be generous with our love. Choices with how we live our lives and what we stand for. Choices to follow through with our word. Choices in how we treat others. Choices in how we treat ourselves.

Truly realizing our ability to choose and honor our integrity helps us claim freedom in our dreams, our actions, and our quest to live intentional lives. Give weight to your word and your actions, lovely. The effort is worth the self-respect it creates.

#11 MAKE ROOM FOR OTHERS’ AMAZING

When you are gorgeously confidant in your own gifts and ways of expressing yourself in this world, you can celebrate the awesomeness of everyone around you without feeling threatened or lacking. You can cheer your competitors on! You can celebrate the wins of your colleagues! You can have genuine admiration for the brilliant ideas of your gal pals! You can appreciate the genius of your partner!

The flip-side of that statement is true as well. When you celebrate others’ Amazing, you are sending hints — little love bombs of inspiration — to your psyche. When you appreciate someone’s compassion, spunk, or productivity, you’ll discover compassion, spunk and productivity in your own life.

What we notice and celebrate in others will show up more often in our own world…

Build your belief in abundance, the power of support, and the beauty of individuality by truly treasuring the amazing people in your life.

I’m betting it will come back to you in bold, beautiful ways.

#12 SHARE YOUR GIFTS

Looking for a mega dose of confidence-building juice? Share your gifts. Use your talents to give back to your community. Start a side hustle that allows you to offer your strengths to people who need them. Give out and give generously with your time, energy, and talent.

The world needs you to bring your Amazing to the table.

Removing the “me” from our concerns and interest for a bit (whether it’s for an hour, day, or week) fuels our soul and sense of connection in a miraculous way. By sharing our gifts, we are confirming the fact that we have something worthwhile to contribute, that we make a difference, and that our presence is appreciated. All of which is juicy proof for building our inner confidence.

Putting ourselves out there by helping a neighbor, volunteering for a cause we care about, teaching a child how to do something we love, or starting a business honoring our true calling is good for us and good for the world. Win-win!

Are you Ready to Own your Amazing?

Ready to rock your inner confidence? Ready to step out into this big, brilliant world of ours armed with Fierce Love and an electrifying sense of self? I’m ready to witness the fireworks, shifts in the Universe, and wild dance parties that will undoubtedly happen because…

YOU ARE READY.

Ancient Chinese hair growth secret! (Ho Shou Wu-"black haired Mr. He".)

Having healthy hair is important no matter how long is your hair if it look dry, dull, lifeless or with split ends, it won't look as good as you think. No matter how short or how long your hair is,having healthy hair is just BEAUTIFUL.Here is a secret,that you may have not known about. As an author of this blog I can 100% assure you that this is no lies,only TRUTH as well as my blog is commercial free. I love writing about my own experiences,therefore all of the posts are based on the experiences I had with the products. 

Have you ever heard of Ho Shou Wu? If not,your'e in the right spot. This magical herb that is called Shou Wu,is a plant based herb that comes from China. Chinese herbs have been used for over centuries gaining on the most popular places in the market.Ho Shou Wu's  medicinal quality is found in its root.The herb, sometimes referred to as Fo-Ti or by its Latin name Polygonum multiflorum. Ho Shou have been used in many anti-aging and longevity beauty products. Ho Shou Wu means "black haired Mr. He".The story comes from a Chinese man,who was jailed, and when he came out from the prison after many years he was old enough by that time,but what was astonishing was when his relatives saw this old man's long black hair,which was supposed to be white for his old age.Since then Shou Wu gained its popularity in medical and cosmetology area...
This is how the Ho Shou Wu root looks like

Ho Shou Wu root

Shou wu benefits include:Faster hair growth, Thicker and softer hair, prevents and reverses grey hair, helps nourish liver and kidney, increases energy, lowers blood pressure and cholesterol. I started using Shou Wu five month ago when I had the worst hair cut ever,where I went from super long hair to short short,due to the stress of having exams. As a woman,we often regret the things we do to ourselves.In my case I did not feel bad or regret about my short hair which was a little longer past my ears,a little shorter than the pic below:

After I was done with my exams I needed to regrow my long hair back as the one I had before. So,I started taking the herb in capsule form which I bought from Cosway-health-store in Malaysia for about 29 MYR for sixty vegetable capsules. Each capsule also contained other herbs beneficial for hair.I took 2 capsules per day,and finished two bottles of this product.After the first bottle I realized in just one month my hair was getting long very fast,but there wasn't sign of thickness in it. After i finished by second bottle my hair I decided to start using pure Ho Shou Wu,a Chinese pharmacist recommended me to get Shou Wu from Eu Yan Sang market, which is a traditional Chinese medicine store.I bought one packet (100gm) for 4 MYR,and that's very cheap to me ,about 1.3 USD. This is how it basically looks like:

Eu Yan Sang (Ho Shou Wu)

Getting the pure Shou Wu was the best decision ever made.I divide each packet into four as the guy in the store told me to do,double boiled it with  about 1,5 liters of water and drank it as tea.I love the taste,especially the smell,the drink has a effect of calming,which I really love about it.I put my tea in the fridge and drink it in in cold way as well.Now,after experimenting Shou Wu for about 4,5 month, I can see myself with thicker hair,longer as double reaching my chest ,as well as shiny and silky hair .Shou Wu truly did it's job,I got the hair I desired for and it's one my favorite natural miracle products...I currently continue taking it as a tea and I don't think I will ever give up. 

P.S.. A Chinese lady from Cosway told me that many women consume Ho Shou Wu post pregnancy,because of losing too many hair after giving birth. According to studies of medical field other benefits of Shou Wu includes :it improves health, stamina and resistance to disease. It is used to reduce cholesterol because of its lecithin. It is used for angina pectoris, bloody stools, hypoglycaemia, diabetes, night sweating, schizophrenia, chronic bronchitis, epilepsy, head injuries, impotence, malaria, sores, cuts, and ringworm. It promotes red blood cells, helps rid intestinal parasites, and is good for resistance to cold.

ARE YOU SURE YOUR'E USING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO?

Did you know that your shampoo is your slow killer? 

3 liters of shampoo, 2 liter shower body gel, and 1 kg soap are what approximately spent in one year by a woman.

Whenever you buy shampoo, take a close look at the ingredients you are using. Do you see Sodium Laureth sulfate? (SLS)Sodium Lauryl Sulfate? Ammonium Laureth Sulfate(ALS)? Formaldehyde? Parabens?Ethoxylated alcohols?Dioxane?Polysorbates?Then you need to worry!

Sodium laureth sulfate which is used in most of the shampoos in the market, it is the second ingredient in shampoo. SLS ,ALS are a foaming agent which is derived from oil refiiing. It is used in industrial products, such as detergents for cars, degreasing agents for cleaning engines and tools for cleaning floors. Sodium Laureth Sulfate is also a component of many personal care products including soaps, shampoos and toothpaste.

SLS,ALS,  turns your hair into dry and brittle hair; it also dries the skin of scalp. It works as a perfect cleanser cleaning all the dirt from the hair but it also fasten the aging of scalp skin making it old faster ,which leads to thinning hair and hair loss. 

When you wash with your usual shampoo that contains SLS, it gets deep into your hair, the root and injures the root, which leads to more oily hair. 

As a result we become addicted to shampoo, just like addiction to drugs. It has been founded that SLS,ALS are carcinogenic, which means it leads to cancer. Some of the symptoms that can occur after using SLS it itchy scalp and red eyes.

So, why do manufacturers of cleaning agents keep producing a dangerous products knowing that it does harm to people? Simple! It brings a lot of money. Fact is a fact that we use these cleaning agents all the time, no stopping; it has become an essential routine to follow.

Dioxane,ethoxylated alcohols, dioxane, polysorbates, and laureths all are cancerogenic and destroy the liver.

Formaldehyde- is another chemical substance that is toxic and leads to serious health problems

Parabens (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, Propylparaben)-are added to soaps and shampoos to act as a preservative. Basically, to give the product a longer shelf life. However, researches have shown that it is also carcinogenic and has lead to breast cancer

So what to do then?

• Try to change to more organic shampoos such as from The Body Shop or Caviar which can be found in Cosway.

• Soak your hair into water for minimum 5 minutes while taking shower,so the water can close the roots which makes some chemical less penetrable into skin

• Try to avoid the above mentioned chemicals in your cosmetics as much as possible
