The coffee we all love so much has many uses beyond just waking us up in the morning. One of those uses is to create a coffee body scrub. It’s usually just the high prices that deter us from enjoying the benefits of exfoliating body scrubs. Since most of us have a canister of coffee grounds in the kitchen, creating this scrub will be easy, beneficial, and most of all, cheap! Not to mention that the coffee itself has added benefits for your skin and body that many body scrubs do not provide.

Most adults wish that their skin looked younger. While it is most effective to fight aging skin before it happens, there are ways that you can help your skin look younger even as you age. Remember, the earlier you start treating your skin well, the better it will look!

ALWAYS use sunscreen. The main reason why skin shows the signs of aging is from sun damage. The sun can do a lot more harm to your skin than just causing wrinkles. For your health and for your beauty, use sunscreen on your face and lip balm on your lips. There are many sunscreens on the market now that can be used every day without causing breakouts or feeling heavy and greasy. Get in the habit of making a moisturizer or lotion with sunscreen part of your daily routine.

The Dead Sea, located on the border of Jordan and Israel, has an unusually high concentration of salt, as well as minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium chloride. The Dead Sea has a long and storied history. Even ancient Egyptians were aware of the sea's unique qualities: They extracted bitumen (a component of asphalt) from the Dead Sea to embalm mummies. Over the ages, people have always visited the Dead Sea due to its reputed curative properties. Today, health spas and resorts line its shores, and Dead Sea Salt is used in a variety of bath and beauty products. Below are some interesting facts about the Dead Sea and Dead Sea Salt products:

Why the Name. The reason that the Dead Sea is called "dead" is that nothing is capable of living in the water; it is far too saline to support life. Any fish that might swim into the Dead Sea by mistake (from the freshwater streams that feed it) die immediately.

How To Learn About Emu Oil

Staff468 — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 14:28:00 -0600

What, by the way, is an emu? An emu is a large bird that lives only in mainland Australia, and is perhaps best known for its inability to fly. Emus are tall (five to six feet tall), dark (mingled black, brown and tan) and well, handsome might be a stretch. Decide for yourself here. Emus have lived in Australia for at least 80 million years.

Emu oil comes from the large fat pad on the back of the emu bird. This fat pad is similar to the hump of a camel in that it serves both as insulation as well as a fat reservoir. The male uses this reservoir for nourishment when he sits on the eggs that the female lays.

How To Hide a Pimple

Vanessa264 — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 15:19:00 -0600

I went to college with a woman who had a unique way of disguising her pimples. If a pimple broke out right before a big date, she would color it brown with an eye pencil and pretend it was a beauty mark! No matter where the pimple erupted, she just ran with it-I remember seeing her one night and thinking she was entering a Cindy Crawford lookalike contest. If the pimple was particularly rebellious, she would apply a fake beauty mark and call it done. I'm not sure if she ever had to explain the change come the second, third and fourth dates-knowing her, she probably didn't say a thing and didn't think twice. But for those among us without quite as much chutzpah, follow the tips in this article to camouflage a comedone.
