You Can Give Your Whole Body A "Facial" With A Body Wrap
by Gregg Hall How much time do you spend to make your face look youthful and attractive? While we're at it, how much money do you spend on the process? Do you painstakingly examine your face in the mirror each morning to determine if your regimen is working? Do you then take the time to make sure that your pores are suitably open so that they can be cleansed properly? Most people, who are determined to have great looking skin, follow all of the above rules. They steam their faces, then apply a cleanser designed to go deep into the pores and remove toxins and oils. Next up is the face mask, to draw out impurities and tighten the pores. An astringent is usually applied next, to close the pores so that new dirt can't get in. Then comes the all important moisturizer, so that wrinkles won't stand a chance when they try to appear on your face.
That's all for the good and its great that you take so much time to make your face retain its glow. What about the rest of your skin? Those same people, who follow a regimen religiously to take care of their face, usually neglect the rest of their bodies. The skin is the largest organ of the body and needs to be taken care of in its entirety. Those same practices that you apply to your face should also be applied to your body as well.
Those people who have come to recognize this indulge in body wraps. Body wraps are growing in popularity and rightfully so. The same way that toxins and dirt need to be removed from the face at pore level, they need to be removed from the body at pore level as well.
When you get a body wrap, you may be interested in seeing how much like a facial it is. First the pores have to be open in order for them to be cleansed well. In order to achieve this, the clinician will put a cream or oil on your skin, depending on the type of wrap that you want. You can get a wrap designed to energize you, a wrap designed to deeply cleanse or a wrap designed exfoliate and remove the dead skin. For a deep cleanse, many clinicians apply a form of mud or clay to draw out the impurities in the skin. They then wrap you in a warm blanket to help in the process. The warmth of the blanket combined with the mud or whatever they choose to use will cleanse the skin at pore level and restore its youthful appearance.
After the wrap, you may be led to a warm bath, where you can soak in the tub and remove the mud or oils. This is truly a luxury that everyone can use. Even if you already have the skin of a movie star, nothing beats the pampered feeling of getting wrapped in a warm blanket and having someone take the time to make you look and feel your best.

Why The Blemish Treatments Of Your Youth Aren't Appropriate Now
by Gregg Hall Remember when you were a teenager and you dreaded waking up in the morning and looking in the mirror because you already knew that there were new pimples on your face for the entire world to behold? Your mom told you to stop eating chocolate and French fries and they'd go away, but who can give up comfort food at a time like this?
When you reached your twenties, the pimples magically disappeared. No longer did you have to slather on anti acne treatments. Now you were happy to get up in the morning, knowing that your beauty was assured as was your youthful confidence.
Now another couple of decades have gone by and you suddenly find yourself right back where you started from. Pimples have begun to erupt from your face just like they did when you were a teen and you can't get over the unfairness of the situation. Such is life, right? It's sad to say that those same raging hormones that left us unwilling to leave the house are now back in action. This time you get to have pimples and wrinkles and its almost too much to bear. Well, before you slink off back to the pharmacy, you should know that those same treatments that you used when you were a child may be way too harsh for your face now.
The best approach to take is one of maturity. Think back to when your mom did her beauty treatments and follow suit. Acne treatments that are designed for children will dry out your skin and cause the wrinkles to get another leg up on their journey across your face. You need a combination of exfoliate and moisturizing. One of the best exfoliates is oatmeal. You can use it to make a face mask by adding water to it to make a paste, then applying it to your skin. After it dries, rub it off in a gentle circular motion to remove the dead skin from your face. Next its time to tighten the pores back up. You can buy an expensive astringent or use what your mom did, witch hazel.
Afterwards, its time for some moisturizer. There are a lot of good moisturizers on the market that have collagen in them. These will help to plumpen the skin and ease wrinkles. A lot of the name brands are very costly, so try the generic ones instead. Many have the same ingredients and are available for a fraction of the cost of their designer cousins.
You don't have to sit back and suffer from the skin hassles that come with aging; you can fight back by taking good care of your skin. Before you know it, you'll feel like you are back in the glory days of your twenties with your smooth, beautiful skin. Gregg Hall is an author living in Navarre Beach Florida.
