Sunscreen is the Most Effective Anti-Aging Method!
How damaging the sun really is, and why you dummies need to stop being so lazy and slather that sunscreen on PRONTO!! Breaking down the science and making it a little easier to digest for you. Love y'all!! MY BLOG: heycheri.livejournal.com MY DRESS www.hotmiamistyles.com ** Use the code "CHERI" during checkout for FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!! NOTE: Stay out of the sun when it's rays are the most harmful, like around noon. Early morning sun and late afternoon sun (5:00 and after) is great for the body to produce vitamin D! Q: Is it true that the rays can only penetrate the outermost layer of sunscreen on your face? Eg If I wear SPF 50 and then put on an SPF 10 foundation on top of it, will the sun's rays stop at the foundation layer? Haha because this is what a skincare sales lady told me and I thought it sounded like a load of bull crap! A: First of all, that b*tch is an idiot and probably didn't even know what she was talking about, because if she DID?? She would have been a bit more passionate about the sunscreen portion and not about the makeup portion. You can't ADD UP SPF numbers like that to equal a STRONGER sunscreen. The SPF in your MAKEUP only protects against B-Rays! So things like sunburn, rashes, blahblahblah. If your makeup doesn't specifically state that it protects against UVA as well (which it most likely doesn't)?? Then it doesn't!! And the UVA rays will still go deep into your skin and shrivel you up like a prune! Makeup with SPF in it is NOT a proper ...
this isnt an question. its an ANSWER to prbly the most common question on here. "hair"?
i've seen soo many posts from people asking how they can make their hair grow longer or be healthier. and im just going to post this in hopes people will get all the answers they need right here.
first off, theres not "proven" way to make your hair grow faster. or so they say. but it never hurts to make it healthier. it just makes sense that healthier hair would grow at least SOMEWHAT faster than non healthy hair. so here are some tips:
1) take vitamins!!! E & B vitamins are especially good for your skin/hair. also try "hair skin and nails" vitamins. and you also might want to try some biotin. but remember, take these all in moderation. don't overdose.
2) chop off those split ends! people say you should get a haircut ever 4-6 weeks, but everyones hair is different. you should just get a trim whenever the ends of your hair seem frayed or you have split ends. that doesn't mean you have to take off 2 whole inches, maybe just 1/2 an inch or even less.
3) try and minimize heat damage. if you can, let your hair air dry naturally. and try and lay off straighteners and curlers. your hair doesnt have to look perfect EVERY day. personally, i just put some mouse in my hair and let it go natural and only use heating tools for special events.
4) eat a healthy diet. healthy you = healthy hair
5) try and deep condition once a week.
6) massage your scalp while in the shower. this stimulates blood flow in the scalp.
7) if you're going out into the sun, add a product that protects your hair from UVA/UVB rays. or wear a hat.
8) find a shampoo/conditioner that effectively moisturizes (sp?) your hair. i used to try and research shampoos before i bought them....but soon realized online reviews are POINTLESS. everyones hair is different. what may work for someone else might be horrible for you or vice versa. so shop around.
9) if you can don't wash your hair everyday. this strips the scalp of your natural oils and can leave your hair dry.
hope that helped :)
p.s. washing your hair with vinegar every few weeks makes it shiny
p.s.s. avocado or maynoise hair masques never hurt either ;)
Is taking a Vitamin D supplement the same as getting Vitamin D from the sun?
I always have better skin and am in a happier mood in the summer because of the extra Vitamin D I get from the sun. Will taking a supplement act in the same way as the sun?
Is it True that Vitamin D helps you sleep?

How Can I Help My Hair Grow?
So, i'm mixed and my hair is very curly and coarse. I cut it last year and it's grown about two-three inches since.I do flat iron it once a day, unless i know i'm not going out anywhere then I don't even bother. I also use thermal protector spray when I flat iron so I don't damage it with the heat. I've heard Vitamin E helps but to what extent? I don't have the money to buy every other supplement and such under the sun so, can anyone recommend anything?
thanks

Can Vitamin D deficiency cause hair loss?
Can Vitamin D deficiency cause hair loss?
I've been experiencing gradual hair thinning for close to 2 years now. It's not very noticeable to others, but it is to me. During those two years, a little over a year ago my mom passed away.. prior to that I dropped out of school to take care of her so I was experiencing a lot of stress during the past two years. (I'm 20 by the way.) I went to the doctor's recently, and my ferretin levels (iron stores) were at about 20.7 with a reference range of 11-370.. so it's on the low end. My doctor prescribed 975 mg of ferrous sulfate a day, with 500 mg of vitamin c for better absorption. I've been taking it for a month, and have noticed my hair looking a little healthier... but, I haven't noticed any regrowth. During the past two years, I've become somewhat of a homebody.. while I was taking care of my mom I rarely went out, and after she passed, I was severely depressed and stayed in ALL the time. Only recently have I been getting out a little more, but still not that much. I haven't gotten my Vitamin D levels checked yet, but considering the circumstances (I don't drink milk, get out in the sun rarely, and live in the NW) I feel like I might be low in Vitamin D as well.
I'd like to know if anyone has experienced hair thinning due to Vitamin D deficiency and if it has gotten better from taking supplements. I've read online that Vit D deficiency can cause hair loss, but I'd like to hear a real experience with it.
Thanks :)
is it true that your body will only produce vitamin D during the hours of 12pm and 1pm through exposure to sun?
A professor once told me this. I thought any time of day that you are in the sun the body will produce vitamin D. what is the truth. what about the winter months? will the body produce less vitamin D during exposure to the sun in the winter months compared to the summer.
