Who doesn’t want a Skinny Tan?

Gradual_large

There are three fabulous reasons for trying the New Australian self-tanner “Skinny Tan“, recently introduced to the United States.

1.) Skinny Tan is an all natural self-tanner

2.) You will achieve a healthy looking tan without worrying about the harmful dangers of the sun, and

3.) Skinny Tan will reduce the appearance of cellulite so your skin, especially your legs, they will look smoother and skinnier!

I especially liked Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner. This is the perfect self-tanner to use before the beach, vacation, pool or anytime throughout the year. That’s what I like about self-tanners, you can use them any time and any length of time.

If you follow Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner’s simple steps, you will have the perfect long lasting tan within 5 to 8 hours.

Skinny Tan’s Pre Tan Primer is an exfoliator which prepares your skin with a smooth surface for an even application of Skinny Tan and helps extend the life of your tan. The scent of coconut will put you in the mood to focus on your tan with Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner.

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner is a creamy white coconut scented lotion containing naturally derived tanning agents plus Guarana. I used a tanning mitt and applied this gradual tanner to my body.  Tanning Mitt’s are extremely important. They guarantee a smooth, streak free application and prevents staining on your hands.,

Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner takes between 5 to 8 hours to turn into a healthy natural looking tan that everyone wants to achieve in a safe manner. Use Skinny Tan Gradual Tanner daily until you achieve your desired tan. I only needed two applications, and I was quite pleased with the results. The darkened color really does reduce the cellulite appearance.

Help extend the life of your tan with Skinny Tan After Glow. Consider After Glow the final piece to your tan. This is a clear gel that acts as a moisturizer over your new natural looking color. You can use After Glow daily for added hydration and extended color. This is also a great moisturizer, and my skin was hydrated for hours.

Remember to carefully read the directions to all the Skinny Tan products. Each product has different instructions and most do not contain sunscreen or sunblock. Always remember to use sunblock whenever you are in the sun.

Skinny Tan is available in a Mousse, Oil, a Skinny Tan 7 Day Tanner,  Skinny Tan Tanning Mousse, Skinny Tan Tan & Tone Kit and a Skinny Tan Tan & Glow Kit.  A Skinny Tan Applicator Mitt also is available and recommended. Skinny Tan is available exclusively at www.skinnytanusa.com.

Skinny Tan products are “Made with organic oils and a coconut and caramel scent, Skinny Tan goes on smoothly without streaking or off colors.  Specifically, the collection includes high quality naturally derived and eco-friendly agents derived from the Brassica Napus plant that works to create a natural tan.”

Skinny Tan is a PETA approved ethical brand, ready to make its mark in the US.

The website has great tips for using Skinny Tan products:  https://www.skinnytan.com.au/pages/tanning-tips

Extend your tan after the summer is gone and look skinnier too with Skinny Tan.

DON’T LET YOUR EARS SHOW YOUR AGE!

  • unnamed-3
  • Though our ears are 90 percent formed by age 6, they do change shape and appear to enlarge as we age. The ears droop as soft tissue (skin, fat, and muscle) relaxes and structural support changes. “Bone recedes with time, so there’s less foundation to hold the skin and cartilage up,” says board certified NYC Dermatologist Dr. Kally Papantoniou. “Plus, loss of elasticity and collagen in the skin causes sagging.”  If you’ve been hanging major bling from your ears, there are so simple non-invasive solutions.Over the many years of sun exposure and loss of collagen and elasticity in the skin of the ear lobes, which are usually where the ear piercings are located, can become wrinkled and thinned out. “What this does,” says Dr. Papantoniou, “is weaken the piercing itself so that earrings are not held firmly in the ear and can sag down. The support is also not there so the ear looks shriveled. This is easily improved with the use of hyaluronic acid fillers, such as restylane, juvederm or belotero. The look is completely natural, and the earrings are held up perfectly afterwards, with hardly any down time. For a patient who enjoys wearing large earrings, and has become aware of the appearance of their ears, rejuvenating has become very accessible and effective with fillers.”Testing for Ear Lobe Droop Test yourself with an earring like that pictured or described here.
  • unnamed-2
    1. Never sleep with earrings. Even if this does not feel uncomfortable, it could mean 8 hours of an ear being tugged by the earring against a pillow.
    2. Don’t wear heavy earrings every day routinely. Save this for an important event, or limit the amount of time you wear them to few hours.
    3. Don’t forget your sunscreen!  Photodamage is the # 1 aging factor for the ear.
    4. Consider applying some of your retinol cream to the lower part of theear when you apply to your face.
    5. If you have an over grown scar on the ear, this may be a keloid and it can be treated with either injections or surgical removal, see your dermatologist.Button Style Tiger Eye Earring suffering from Ear Lobe DroopOne of the most challenging styles of earring a person can wear is the circular button earring. If it’s half an inch in size and has a post in the middle.Put it on with a normal sized gold backing. Most likely that earring will little by little tip forward until it’s pointing to the pavement.

      This is not only a very unattractive look, but it is hard on your ear-pierced area.

      The tricky thing about testing is that at first it looks great, but as the day wears on and you use the phone and other activities, it starts to droop or sag.

5 Things That are Skin No-Nos

savvy_cali_logo_export-1

Pro Advice from Savvy Travelers Being that are our skin is the body’s largest organ, it stands to reason that there are things we should be doing to care for it each and every day. However, many of us go through our daily routines paying very little attention to our skin. In fact, there are a lot of things that we do that end up leading to clogged pores and a dull complexion. These skin “nonos” should be avoided to help keep skin looking and feeling great.

“Our skin is so delicate, yet we treat it as if it can put up with all of the mean things we do to it,” explains expert traveler Tina Aldatz, chief executive officer of cosmetic beauty wipe company Savvy Travelers. “Taking care of your skin can help keep you looking younger, feeling great, and loving what you see when you look in the mirror.”

Here are 5 things that are nonos that people often do to their skin:

  1. Not removing makeup before bed. Many people hit the sack without washing their face, and often leaving makeup on when they do it. According to the National Sleep Foundation, when you do this you can damage your skin. Going to bed with a dirty face leads to clogged pores, makeup tends to have free radicals held in it, which will lead to wrinkles. Keeping something like Take Offz facial cleansing and moisturizing wipes close by provides people with an easy and convenient way to always be able to quickly clean and moisturize their face before bed.
  2. Overlooking the importance of exfoliating. Many people tend to overlook the importance of getting their skin exfoliated. When you have it exfoliated, it removes the old, dead layer, so that younger and healthier skin can regenerate. Regularly doing this at home or having this done by getting regular facials is advised to get the best results.
  3. Getting too much sun exposure. According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer. Getting too much sun exposure to the skin can lead to skin cancer, as well as cause premature wrinkles. Protect the skin by wearing sunscreen, a hat, and seeking shade whenever possible.
  4. Not staying hydrated. According to the National Institutes of Health, the skin contains around 30 percent water. It’s this water that gives skin its plumpness, elasticity, and resiliency. If you are not staying well hydrated, your skin can lose those attributes, so be sure to drink up.
  5. Having dirty hands. We come in contact with many germs every day, especially on our hands. When those germ-filled hands touch your face, you are transferring them there. This can lead to clogged pores, breakouts, and infections. Keep hands clean by frequently washing them with soap and water, or using anti-bacterial cleansing wipes, such as Klean Upz, when soap and water are not available.

“Between bad habits and germs, our skin can really take a hit,” added Aldatz. “It’s up to us to be proactive to make sure that we hold ourselves accountable in taking care of our skin, as well as being prepared. When we do those two things we will end up with skin that we love and loves us back.”

Savvy Travelers offers a no-rinse line of cosmetic beauty wipes that help to keep travelers healthy and lends a convenient collection of problem solvers for beauty and wellness needs. Savvy Travelers designer beauty wipes are curated for the “on-the-go” sophisticated savvy travelista! No water?

6 Features of the best GP tutors in Singapore

General-pepar1

GP is considered one of the toughest subjects for most Singapore student. Compared to English where students are expected to write short essays or stories, GP asks for a lot more from students. A student has to write formal, argumentative, and long essays from diverse topics.

Essays in science, history, culture, social happenings, arts, politics, geography, philosophy or economics have to be written creatively and critically. This means that a huge number of students fail the GP paper and they need tutors on the same. Despite the complexity and toughness of the examinations you have to choose tutors with desirable qualities such as:

1. Experience

A good tutor must have the right experience in the General paper. The credentials of the selected tutor should be very high and attractive. With the right skills and experience in teaching the same, you will be able to get the best tutoring possible.

You should note that a tutor having perfect scores isn’t all that is needed from a tutor. They should be experienced teachers. It would therefore be a better decision to choose a GP tutor experienced in the field.

2. Willingness to teach one student

Tutoring centers offering GP lessons tend to be packed. If you required personalized tutoring to deal with your weak points adequately, a tutor offering one on one tutoring is preferable.

Passing the test is hard and this means that you must have the best tutor offering dedicated training and attention to your individual needs comfortably. You will pay a little more but the quality of tutoring received is very high.

3. Patience

Your GP tutor and any other GP tutor engaged from reputable tuition agencies should be very patient. Learning speeds vary with students. This means that the tutor should understand the tutee’s weaknesses then work with you at your speed to ensure that you get the best out of the money spent as well as the time and input effort.

4. Quality content

The quality of the content offered should be high. Writing the best GP papers requires well-articulated ideas in acceptable formats and within the scope of the subject matter. The best tutor should be able to guide you into writing essays using right and the highest quality content. The tutor should be able to share their content booklets as well as tips and knowledgeable nuggets on the best strategies employed to create valuable and high scoring content.

5. Effective

Hiring a private home tutor is expensive and you should get good result or see improvement in your child’s results/ writing and comprehension in a short time. A good tutor should be able to work matters fast with you ensuring that you master the basics and essentials of the subject in the shortest possible time.

6. Easily relatable

This is a very important quality to be considered when seeking a tutor. Previous work reviews and testimonials will help you choose a good tutor. However, you should have a tutor who is easy to talk to and comfortably interact with. Pinpointing weak points is done easier when the tutor is easy to warm up to.

In conclusion, the best tutor for you or your child should have these qualities among others. These will assure you that you will get a good result at the end of the tutoring and the examinations. Also ensure that the tutor is within your neighborhood to prevent lateness or missed classes. Education is one of the best investments in life and the best tutors will,help you achieve your excellent education goals.
