Benefits of Cuticle Oil Day 3

I have already talked about the benefits of Cuticle Oil for your skin, but it also has benefit for your nails.  

Your nails also benefit from Cuticle Oil. They will become more flexible because of the oil, which prevents them from becoming brittle and dry, so the polish is less likely to chip. Cuticle Oil also helps keep the polish pliable, which will further reduce chipping. You’ll really be amazed at the difference it makes when you apply it every day.

You may use polish and the like on your nails, but Cuticle Oil is still beneficial to everyone, whether they have natural nails, gel-polish, acrylics, gel enhancements, or even pedicures. It is a product that strengthens the cuticles and helps make them healthy. Your cuticles protect your nails. When your cuticles are in good condition, it helps you to grow stronger, healthier nails.

Benefits of Cuticle Oil Day 2

Yesterday I hinted at some of the benefits of using Cuticle Oil.  Today I am going to expand on that and explain the benefits Cuticle Oil can have for your skin. 



Do you have dry cuticles? 

Maybe you think it is because your hands are always in water or because you don't give your feet much attention. You don't want to have unsightly looking cuticles. Your cuticles protect the nail by sealing off the opening between the nail and skin. Healthy ones are soft and supple. If your cuticles are in good condition, your nails usually will be, too. If your cuticles are dry, cracked, flaky or thick, don't try to cut them off as you will adding to the risk of infection getting into your body.

If you start using Cuticle Oil regularly it will make a great job of repairing the skin around your nails. You can apply it to your skin every day as much as you need to. You may think that hand or foot cream is enough and you are right to continue using that, but Cuticle Oil is better at repairing the sensitive skin around the nails. Its highly concentrated and it absorbs quickly so it starts doing its magic immediately. It softens and conditions your cuticles, so you’ll be less likely to pick at them. Plus, it adds moisture to the skin, which makes your skin healthier and younger looking. Finally, it shrinks and tightens the skin, which helps prevent hangnails.

Why your Stance and Posture matter

Did you know that how you stand will affect your health? Poor posture can cause neck ache, back ache, sore hips and knees. If you slouch or are constantly looking down as you walk, then your posture will be affected and the damage can be long term. It is becoming increasingly common to see people looking at mobile phones when they walk and this is affecting their posture tremendously because their upper back is rounded and their shoulders and back will become stiff.  If you stand and walk correctly then you will have less issues with your posture and your neck, shoulders, back, hips, knees and ankles will all thank you in the long term. More than that good posture makes you look more confident and engaged with your surroundings and the people in it. 
People will shuffle into my clinic with all kinds of aches and pain, because ultimately the problem ends up affecting your feet. But more than that, your posture will affect how efficiently your body works.  If you slouch and don't stand correctly it will mean that your body will use more energy.  Distribute your weight in the most optimal way and stand the right way and your body will benefit.  Your stance needs to be equal so that when viewed from the side you can draw a vertical line that passes through the ear, shoulder, hip and falls to the front of the ankle.  You will have better lung capacity, while your digestive system will work in the most optimal way.  When your centre of gravity is above your feet to keep your balance will require very little muscular energy.  Stand well, and your body will work better.
  • Keeps bones and joints in the correct alignment so that muscles are being used properly.
  • Helps decrease the abnormal wearing of joint surfaces that could result in arthritis.
  • Decreases the stress on the ligaments holding the joints of the spine together.
  • Prevents the spine from becoming fixed in abnormal positions.
  • Prevents fatigue because muscles are being used more efficiently, allowing the body to use less energy.
  • Prevents strain or overuse problems.
  • Prevents backache and muscular pain.
  • Contributes to a good appearance.

5 Ways to Relax After Work Part 2

For me this weekend is particularly busy as I am on a course. If you have ever had to do a course on a weekend then you will now how tiring it can be. However, it is important at the end of a tiring day to try and unwind a little and relax. Here are some ways you can try to help you do this.

Visualize

Visualization is another great form of relaxation. All you have to do is to close your eyes and imagine. Instead of trying to empty your mind of negative thoughts, the visualization process allows you to focus on the more positive ones. Mental images of the sea or a beautiful park have great calming effects, therefore, they can help you wind down from a hectic day. With these beautiful sceneries embedded in your mind, you’ll be drifting off to sleep in no time.
Unwind to good music
Music has an incredible healing power over people’s anxieties because of its ability to connect to their emotions. Whether you prefer to listen to soothing jazz music, the latest dance record, or the sounds of nature, what matters most is to choose a type of music, which makes you feel good. However, most experts advise that the best way to relax at home after work is to listen to soft instrumental or classical music.

Take a warm bath

You cannot go wrong with a hot shower or a long warm bath. Water has a calming effect on the body, mind and soul, so don’t forget to cleanse away your troubles by soaking into a scented bubble bath after a tiring day at work.

Exercise

For some people, relaxation means hitting the gym after work. You may think that working out when you’re tired may sound like a terrible idea, but exercising always has a very positive effect on the body and the mind of a person. Any physical activity – whether it’s running on the treadmill or just running on the spot – releases endorphins that make you feel happy.
You don’t have to go to the gym to exercise. You can go for a quick jog around your house or your neighbourhood, do some crunches, or pump up the volume of your favourite music and dance in your living room.
Get a back massage
Most of the time at the end of every day, all that hard-working people look forward to is to lie down on a comfortable bed and get a good back massage. Massaging can ease the knots in your muscles, thereby calming your nerves. You don’t have to book an appointment at the spa for this. Why not get a home service from a professional massage therapist? Better yet, have your partner massage your back for you. Always keep massage oils handy or within easy reach.
