The variety of anti-ageing products on the market can be confusing and often overwhelming, with many products promising many different things. However, when it comes to the most natural solutions for anti-ageing such as organic skin care products, there are key ingredients which can help you to understand how effective naturally-grown products can be. The next time you search for anti-ageing organic skin care products, look out for the following.

Algae Extract

Algae extract features in many anti-ageing organic skin care products for a number of reasons. Not only does it hydrate your skin, nourishing it and moisturising it in the process, but it’s packed full of vitamins and minerals as well. Such is its efficacy in organic skin care products that people often refer to it as the ocean’s most potent secret. Within it are vitamins A, B, C, and E, as well as amino acids and proteins. If you find it in any organic skin care products, you are bound to notice a difference in how soft and supple your skin feels.

Argireline

Argireline is one of the most necessary ingredients in any anti-ageing cream, and it’s known as Botox in a jar. It’s non-toxic, safe, and features in many Cosmetic Science studies as well. In a study of 10 women, a noticeable wrinkle reduction of 17 percent was evident after only 15 days. The best part is, it fits in the realm of being suitable for organic skin care products.

When you decide to visit a jewellery store and purchase new jewellery for yourself or a loved one, it’s not a decision you make lightly. Instead, you get plenty of advice and help from a jeweller, as well as investing a significant amount of money in an item that will last you a lifetime.

However, like most things, you can damage jewellery – even unintentionally. If you want to reduce the risk so you can keep your precious possessions in tip-top condition, pay attention to these tips below.

Don’t Wear it in Water

As most jewellers will tell you, wearing your jewellery in water can have a range of consequences – depending on the water. If you wear it in a swimming pool or spa pool, the chlorine can weaken settings while discolouring and damaging metals. What’s more, if your jewellery has gemstones, it can ruin the polish and finish. Salt water can also be harmful. As soon as you decide it’s time for a swim, take off all your jewellery and leave them at home – they will be safer there anyway.

Keep it Out of Sunlight

Australia knows how to put on a decent summer, which can be great for your tan but not so great for your jewellery. According to many jewellers, direct sunlight can bleach materials, plastics, and natural elements. To avoid the risk of damaging your rings, necklaces, and other items, don’t store them in direct sunlight.

Be Careful What You Put on Your Hands

Whether you’re gardening in bare hands or are applying lotion or sprays, be wary of what you have on your fingers. Any cream or dirt can get into the crevices of your jewellery which can be damaging. Soil is also very abrasive, while lotions can leave sticky film residue over your diamonds, making them look dull and drab.

What is the Best Fitness Apparel?

Getting fit and staying fit can take a considerable amount of effort and motivation. However, did you know your clothing can play a part in the effectiveness of your routine as well? Contrary to popular belief, heading out in your ratty old t-shirt and shorts is not going to spell a decent workout. In fact, you’re bound to come home sweaty, uncomfortable, irritated, and vowing never to wear those clothes again. Here’s how you can choose the best fitness apparel for a better workout experience.

Breathability

During your workout, you’re bound to work up a decent sweat. That is, after all, the purpose. However, the last thing you want is for that sweat to soak into your clothing, making you wet, uncomfortable, and a little bit smelly. Instead of wearing a casual tee for your workout, you need to instead purchase clothing that breathes and has wicking abilities.

Most retail shops that sell activewear have a special section for such clothing, featuring lycra and polyester blends. Not only are these fabric types perfect for accentuating your curves and being comfortable and freeing to wear, but they can wick away moisture as well. Even when you find yourself sweating heavily, lycra clothing dries far quicker than cotton.

A lack of sleep can do more to us than just make us tired and irritable. We can also look like we haven’t had enough sleep either. When the bags under your eyes are so big they now look like suitcases, and you don’t have time to nap them away, then consider any of these natural remedies below. Removing the evidence of no sleep is not as hard as you may think.

Cucumber

You see it in the movies all the time – someone in a white dressing gown with a green or white face mask, and those signature cucumber slices over their eyes. There’s a reason this method of undereye bag treatment is so popular; it’s because it works. If you don’t want to subject your skin to toxic creams, lotions, and potions, reach for the cucumber and experience pure relief.

Cucumbers are packed full of anti-inflammatory properties, and as a result, you benefit from reduced swelling, puffiness and droopiness around your eyes. Just cut two slices of cucumber straight from the fridge, put them on your eyes, and relax for half an hour. When you take them off, you’ll be amazed at the results.

5 Steps to Running a Marathon

One of the best ways in which to get motivated and improve your fitness is by aiming towards a goal. Rather than focus on something generic like “lose weight” or “get fit”, you can instead set your sights on something more specific such as completing a marathon.

Whether you’ve decided you’ll run or walk or complete a full or half marathon, here are some helpful fitness tips to prepare you for the journey ahead. You are sure to find reaching the goal is that much sweeter when you know how much effort you’ve put into preparation.

Give Yourself Plenty of Time

Complete fitness is not something that happens overnight. You don’t go from being able to walk as far as 100 metres without getting puffed one day, to being able to run 42 kilometres the next. Therefore, if you’re looking to complete a marathon and you’re only just beginning, you want to give yourself at least a year. It may even take longer if you’re new to the entire world of fitness.

Find a Suitable Event

Once you know that you want to improve your fitness, get healthy, and eventually complete a marathon, it’s not a bad idea to start hunting for suitable events. Often, marathons and charity runs take place on the same day or week every year. Find one that you feel might tick all the boxes, then write it down. That is the date you want to be able to reach your goal by.
