Dimitri James Skinn Cosmetics has the solution to those dreadful pores.

 

Are you having problems with large pores? Dimitri James Skinn Cosmetics will end your pore frenzy with their trio of pore products, Pure Pore Detox, Matte Manager and Pore Authority. This line of skincare is definitely worth trying because it works.

I generally don’t have problems with large pores, but when I look closely in the mirror, they are visible and sometimes aggravating. After using these 3 products (for best results, use all three) for a week or so, I have noticed a big difference in my skin, especially the nose area where the pores are more pronounced. What I found truly remarkable is that for about a month now, my husband has also been using these 3 products and I can definitely see a difference in his overall skin appearance as well.  His skin is smooth and his skin texture is clear, he even noticed it himself. Yes, my husband often tests products for me and I don’t think I am getting these skincare products back.  I want to thank Demitri James for creating such a great product, one that works!

Pure Pore Detox  is a sulfate and oil free cleanser. It will thoroughly strip your skin of dirt, grime, and makeup, leaving it refreshed. The formula of natural oils from Brazilian Volcanic White Clay and Amazonian Green Clay works wonders on your skin. Although it is recommended that you use the cleanser twice a day, we are seeing great results using Pure Pore detox once every morning.

The key to shrinking those pores are with Matte Manager and Pore Authority. Matte Manager is a daytime pore reducing serum. Simply place 2- to 3 drops on your fingertips after cleansing and smooth the serum onto your troubled spots. This serum will leave your skin smooth, and radiant. Matte Manager is formulated with extracts from the African yellow wood tree which aid in tightening pores. Salicylic Acid smooths the skin for a brighter appearance, the pores literally shrink up.

The third product in this fabulous pore reducing line is Pore Authority, a nighttime pore reducing serum. Pore Authority is designed to work its magic while you sleep. Use just like the daytime serum applying 2 to 3 drops to your fingertips and apply to your skin. The fruit acids infused in the serum help renew and resurface your skin, while other extracts increase moisture retention for a brighter and more youthful-looking complexion.

How Yoga can Help Heal Injuries

yoga-training-bali

Those who practice yoga teacher training have to often deal with injuries as well. Those from overworking ourselves in daily activities, in yoga or other exercises. Sure, yoga in a Bali resort can be a therapeutic in healing and recovery – but done wrong, it can be an impediment to healing or even worsen the condition.

It’ll do well to adhere to some simple guidelines while practicing yoga when under an injury. Utilize the power of yoga to activate the body’s lymphatic system and by improving local circulation. Thereby supporting the healing process.

There are three main stages to healing after an injury occurs. By becoming aware of these and following the guidelines for each stage we can speed the healing process and reduce the risk of aggravating the injured area.

I. The Acute Stage: During the acute period, rest the injured area for 4-6 days. Do not perform any movements that might aggravate the injury or produce pain. Using ice or a compression (an ace bandage) on the injured area during the first few days after the injury is recommended to help relieve inflammation and pain, and to expedite the recovery process. At the beginning inflammation is usually present, so elevating the affected area will help to reduce any swelling and also any throbbing or discomfort.

Here, inversion poses will be helpful by activating the lymphatic system, especially if the injury is in the lower body. Once the swelling subsides, very gentle and slow movements can be performed, but not so as to stretch the muscles that trigger the pain. Even though the area may feel constricted and prefer a stretch, it will not help with the healing process and most likely will re-injure the area preventing the healing process.

II. The Secondary Stage: This subacute stage of injury follows lasts between 1-3 weeks. During this period the injured tissue is still fragile and prone to re-injury. Gentle stretching is the key to recovery. Focus on your breath and the sensations of stretches, but do not over extend to the point of pain.

The next step involves slowly and gently strengthening the muscles involved in the injury. Start off with slow, gentle non-weight bearing movements and gradually increase the range of movements and repetitions. As symptoms disappear, gradually progress to weight-bearing movements. Adequate warm-up sessions before and proper alignment during yoga is essential in this healing stage.

Assume the poses slowly and gently; hold them for long times and maintain slow deep breathes in the poses. Any movements that aggravate your symptoms should be avoided. If any pose results in pain, tingling, or numbness do not continue.

III. The Chronic Stage: This stage of injury may take up to 12-18 months for achieving complete healing. Even though the injured site may feel right it will still be prone to re-injury and/or chronic inflammation. It is important to exercise care during this stage as the injury will not have healed fully. Severe pain lasting more than a few days without improvement requires medical attention.

These guidelines will help you in continuing your yoga practice while allowing for the healing process of your injury. Keep in mind that a yoga practice should be used only to supplement conventional therapy, not replace it. You can also take guide from yoga teacher training with ease to heal your injuries.

How You Can Use Digital Signage for Boosting Your Fashion Boutique Business

imgres-1

Getting started as a fashion designer is never easy. You are in competition with too many brands existing in the industry. Making people aware of your products is the first thing you need to do to succeed in the competitive business. For this reason, you can use digital signage. Even so, it is important to remember that not all signs capture the desired attention. It is hence important for you to learn how to use digital signage accordingly. Here are the best tips you can use to create compelling content for your fashion boutique signage.

Be precise

The mistake people make when using digital signage is that of giving too much information. Although this is good, it does not work on digital signage. Remember that the people you want to pass the message to are in a hurry. Therefore, you need to keep your message short and to the point. If you are using a video, it should be no more than two minutes long. The short and the more precise the video is the better. The idea is not to lose the attention of your audience before you communicate your point.

Display your products

You do not have to spend a lot of time and money hiring professional models. Although using a model would be much better, you can simply use ‘money queens’. Make sure you take photos of your best pieces then present them along with your digital signage content. Images are more impactful than text. Make use of them but ensure you hire a professional photographer to take the best photos of your pieces. You should also use the best digital signage software that displays your content perfectly.

Make the content legible

Your audience should be able to read your content without straining. Make sure that you use the right fonts and colors that make it easy for people to read your content. Avoid the curly-cues and multiple colors. If people are not able to read the content, they will move on without paying much attention to your products. Smaller signs are harder to read too so avoid them as much as you can.

Test before you post

It is common for people to create their digital signage and display them without ever testing their impact. This is one of the major reasons for failure for most marketers. To start with, you need to make sure that the content makes sense and that it is easy to read. You also need to test where you will be placing your content. Will the sign work best on a window display or inside your store? Get the opinion of friends.

Make it interesting

Boring signs will not benefit you. The goal is to command the attention of your customers. Make use of interesting slogans, great images and offer discounts.

So long as you understand your target audience, when it comes to digital signage, you are only limited by your imagination. Create signs that command attention and not ones that just display your content in a boring way.

Lies you are likely to hear for thyroid disease

130807_concerned

 FROM THE PROS:

It is not easy to get direct information regarding thyroid. There is some important information needed to know about thyroid. With the following factors, you will come to know about possible lies usually said from practitioners.

  • Check Whether You’re your levels Are Normal:

If your TSH level remains normal, then you are said to have between the ranges .5 to 5.0. If your TSH level remains lower, you will come under either of case hyperthyroid or overactive. Since the year 2002, both American Association of clinical Endocrinologists and National Academy of clinical Bio-chemistry recommended that normal range as in between ranges .3 to 3.0. More number of doctors has not switched over to new standards and range yet. As you doctor says you are in normal level, you are needed to ask about his tool to find normal level.

  • Use iodine:

Natural health practitioners could not understand about thyroid function. If you are deficient to iodine, Iodine will help you to get thyroid. For some people, iodine deficiency may be a factor in thyroid problem. For some people, iodine or iodine involved products may keep autoimmune problems in worse condition. If you are said to really have thyroid deficiency, you are necessary to show attention towards symptoms which develop after consumption of iodine.

  • Have Graves Disease and needed to take Radioactive Iodine Treatment:

As it is a time to auto-immune thyroid disease, hashimoto disease, it may result in Hypothyroidism. At few stages of Hashimoto disease, during earlier stages, thyroid is in the process of auto immune failure. There are some temporary hyper-thyroid symptoms named such as anxiety, heart palpitations, fast pulse, weight loss, diarrhea, insomnia and etc. People fall under these cases should initially visit doctor.

Some doctors ask you to verify blood test to check TSH level. Based on this result, you may be asked to undergo radioactive iodine treatment. It is a permanent treatment to completely off thyroid from body. In few cases, unless hyperthyroid becomes serious problem, the expensive radiation treatment is necessary to be taken.

  • Base Temperature Can Diagnose Hypothyroid:

If a body is remained in lower temperature, simply you no need to make use of diagnostic tool. It is going to never work. In medical terms, it simply defines that thyroid problem is said to have direct impact on metabolic rate. Few practitioners believe that body temperature is an important diagnostic tool to say about thyroid.

The diagnostic tool is still being used in complementary methods.

In order to take measurement of BBT, it is good to use oral glass thermometer. For glass thermometers, the method to use is, it should be shaken well. Readings should be continued with this thermometer for consecutive days.

If average BBT remains below than 97.6 F, it is better to undergo diagnosis treatment. An average BBT should fall in between 97.2 and 98.2. Temperature from 97.6 to 98 F is said to be the proof of hypothyroid. The application of base temperature measurement should be a part of testing. 

  • Synthroid Is Only Treatment For Hypothyroid:

Synthroid is a brand name for levothyroxine. It is a synthetic form of thyroid hormone thyroxine. Synthroid is also known as lenothyroxine drug. Synthroid is almost said to be most   expensive levothyroxine. Other brands are said to be less expensive and remains in same level in terms of effectiveness. Synthroid includes levoxyl, levothroid and unithroid. Some patients find that they could find results with anyone. The general name for thyroid is T 3 hormone. Brand used for is Cytomel. While you add T3 to levothyroxine, it has been believed that it helps better in releasing symptoms in more effective manner.

The last common prescribed drug includes T4 and T3 for thyroid.
