Grey/Gray Hair


Hmmmm, I wonder which word is correct for me to apply to'hair'.In actual fact, both words are correct!(Thats what I found out when I googled).Both words have the same meaning, referring to colour. GREY is the British spelling and GRAY is the American spelling, thats all!!!
GREY HAIR
Are you going to be affected by grey hair? You will definitely answer 'yes' if you are a lady, and 'hmmmm no' if you are a guy. Reason behind this: Guys are more stoic (unaffected/indifferent) when it comes to 'grey hair'. However this is not the case with ladies.Ladies are more scared of grey hair since this would make them look older.
Ways To Prevent (Slowdown)GREY HAIR:
1.Blood Flow.
Blood flow in your body means blood circulation.Massage is a sure way to give your body (from head to toe) a thorough blood flow! In fact, there is no point in taking supplements and vitamins IF these supplements/vitamins have no way of reaching your scalp.So massage your scalp everyday....just 5-10 minutes will do wonders to your scalp and hair.
2.Exercise
Exercise daily for proper blood circulation.
3.Reduce Stress
Stress can cause you more damage than you can imagine. If you lead a stress-free life, you may have grey hair only at a later stage of your life.
4.Take Supplements/Vitamins.
Supplements and Vitamins really help if you want to delay the onset of grey hair, e.g. Gingko Biloba and Spirulina.
5. Increase Protein Intake and Amino Acids.
Try your best to delay the onset of grey hair.But if you do have grey hair, do not worry about it since you can still cover it by using hair colours.Take note: Do not colour your hair too dark ,remember that our hair gets lighter as we grow older!

E.g biscuits, pies and pastries, french fries etc.

Skin Peeling


Skin Peeling is necessary for beauty as well as for health.The accumulation of dead cells on your body is not only ugly but it gets in the way.... your skin need to breathe as well!
Your skin can look beautiful, healthy as well as fairer if you get rid of all the accumulated dead cells.If you have normal skin, you need to do peeling two to three times a week. This can be done through chemical peeling, mechanical peeling or the combination of both.
Once your dead cells have been removed, your skin looks brighter, healthier and of course fairer! In this condition, the skin becomes more vulnerable to sun light, therefore you have to moisturise as well as protect it by rubbing in the sunscreen.
Skin Peeling Benefits:
1.Improves Acne Scars
2.Improves Skin Texture
3.Reduces Effects Of Sun-damage
4.Smoothe Fine lines And Wrinkles
5.Corrects Age Spots and Pigment Problems.
There are many products available in the market for Skin Peeling. However I came across one very good Skin Peeling Product...Made in Korea. I have been using it for sometimes now and really like it!It can be sprayed on the face as well as the whole body.
How To Apply It:
Wash your face (or body) and wipe dry. Then spray a generous amount to the desired area and massage gently. This process will remove the dead cells instantly and after that just wash your face with lukewarm water. Hmmmm, now try touching your skin! OMG the skin feels smooth and of course fairer!!!

Personal Review on Tabita Skin Care





Hi, today is my 1st anniversary of using Tabita Skin Care.
I have used many products before but none that I like until I found Tabita.Tabita is a special product that I think I cannot live without it.My skin has improved a great deal and Tabita has sort of neutralize my skin condition, no more oily skin and open pores!I noticed that my skin is fairer( but not to the extend that the face is different from the rest of the body!),it is just nice and blend well.
This is my normal daily routine:
Morning:Wash my face with Tabita Facial Soap, Rub in Egyptian Magic Cream ,Apply Tabita Day Cream. Then I brush on Tabita Loose Powder.
Night:Wash face with Tabita Facial Soap,Rub in Egyptian Magic Cream again(but massage a little bit longer). Leave it for a few minutes and Apply Tabita Night Cream.
Take note: I use Tabita Toner only 2-3 times a week. Tabita Toner tend to make my skin a bit drying, so I have to adjust according to my skin condition.
