Usia yang tidak lagi muda, dan sering terkena paparan sinar matahari, debu, kotoran dan polusi, membuat kulit kita menjadi iritasi. Hal ini juga menyebabkan menurunnya kekuatan struktur kulit yang mengakibatkan timbulnya berbagi kerutan, flek hitam, komedo, dan jerawat. Untuk meminimalkan masalah kulit tersebut, ikuti tips berikut!
Menghambat Keriput Keriput tidak bisa dihindari dan dicegah. Yang bisa Anda lakukan adalah sedikit menghambatnya.
Caranya dengan:
1. Selalu membersihkan wajah dengan susu krim pembersih wajah, menjelang tidur dan saat bangun tidur. Oleskan krim pada wajah sambil memijatnya dengan cara memutar, lalu angkat dengan kapas.
2. Pakailah masker jenis peel off seminggu dua kali, untuk mengangkat minyak dan kotoran pada wajah.
3. Tidak ada salahnya untuk melakukan home peeling sebulan sekali. Peeling adalah untuk merontokkan kulit mati penyebab keriput, dan menipiskan flek-flek hitam. Peeling hanya boleh menempel pada kulit sekitar 3-5 menit saja, karena mengandung bahan aktif. Kalau terlalu lama menempel pada kulit, akan membuat kulit terkelupas dan kemerahan.
4. Jangan lupa untuk selalu melapisi wajah dengan krim yang mengandung SUV Protector di pagi hari, untuk melindungi kulit dari sinar UVA & UVB yang membuat kulit menjadi terbakar.
5. Pada malam hari, jangan lupa mengoleskan krim malam tipis-tipis. Guna krim malam adalah untuk menjaga kelembaban kulit pada saat mengalami regenerasi di malam hari saat Anda tidur. Usir Komedo atau Blackheads Ada dua macam komedo. Komedo putih dan komedo hitam. Komedo putih merupakan kumpulan lemak yang keluar dari dalam tubuh. Sedangkan komedo hitam adalah kumpulan lemak putih, tetapi sudah tercampur kotoran, sehingga susah untuk keluar. Apa saja penyebab munculnya komedo?
1. Kurangnya air di dalam tubuh kita.
2. Sel kulit yang telah mati dan berlebih sehingga menyumbat pembukaan pori-pori.
3. Produksi minyak yang berlebih pada wajah.
4. Rutinitas pembersihan wajah yang kurang baik, menyebabkan minyak pada wajah tidak terangkat secara sempurna.
5. Menggunakan scrub yang berlebih pada wajah.
6. Terlalu banyak menggunakan kosmetik yang banyak mengandung minyak.
Cara menghilangkan komedo:
1. Siapkan air panas yang mendidih, lalu uapi wajah Anda. Uap panas akan membuka pori-pori wajah, sehingga Anda dengan mudah mencungkil komedo.
2. Pada saat mencungkil komedo, gunakan alat pencungkil komedo yang telah dibersihkan dengan alkohol. Jangan pernah memencet komedo dengan tangan karena akan menimbulkan alergi dan menimbulkan bekas pada wajah.
3. Setelah proses pencungkilan, bersihkan dengan pembersih wajah.
4. Lalu, pakai masker yang biasa Anda pakai, untuk merapatkan kembali pori-pori yang telah terbuka tadi.
5. Bilas dengan air bersih.
Kikis Flek Hitam Salah satu masalah yang paling sering terjadi pada sebagian besar wanita Asia, terutama yang berusia di atas 30 tahun, adalah timbulnya bintik hitam atau flek di wajah. Flek akibat pigmentasi kulit atau melasma bisa saja terjadi di bagian tubuh lain, tetapi memang paling sering kita jumpai di daerah wajah akibat terlalu sering terkena paparan sinar matahari. Pemakaian kosmetik yang kemungkinan besar mengandung merkuri dan asam salisilat pun, akan membuat wajah terserang flek. Karena bila digunakan terus menerus, kandungan merkuri akan menyebabkan kulit menjadi sangat sensitif terhadap sengatan matahari. Penyebab lain adalah seringnya mencuci muka dalam keadaan panas, atau dalam keadaan sedang berkeringat.
Kikislah flek hitam di wajah dengan:
1. Scrub wajah secara teratur, dua minggu sekali. Butiran scrub yang halus, akan mengikis kulit mati.
2. Gunakan peeling sebulan sekali untuk menipiskan flek-flek wajah. Waktunya cukup 3-5 menit saja.
3. Gunakan masker bengkuang seminggu dua kali. Efek sari bengkuang akan membuat wajah Anda terlihat segar, dan sari bengkoang akan mengangkat sel kulit mati serta mengecilkan pori-pori kulit.
4. Gunakan masker dari teh. Kandungan antioksidan yang terkandung dalam teh juga baik untuk mencegah penuaan dini dan menghilangkan flek hitam. Teh mengandung tanin yang sangat baik untuk mengatasi kulit yang terbakar matahari. Caranya, inapkan teh kental semalaman. Setelah itu oleskan teh ke seluruh wajah dan biarkan mengering dengan sendirinya. Bilas dengan air hangat untuk membuka pori-pori kulit, lalu bilas sekali lagi dengan air dingin untuk menutup pori-pori.
5. Anda juga dapat mencoba masker antiflek hitam yang mengandung sprilulina atau ganggang laut, yang berfungsi untuk mengangkat flek-flek hitam. Masker ganggang laut dapat Anda cari di toko-toko kosmetik.
Mengecilkan Pori-pori Kulit akan terlihat kotor dan kusam jika Anda mempunyai pori-pori yang besar seperti kulit jeruk. Keadaan ini umumnya dialami oleh mereka yang memiliki kulit berminyak atau masalah genetik.
Cara yang paling mudah dan dapat dilakukan di rumah adalah dengan mencuci muka Anda dengan air dingin, lalu gosokkan es batu secara perlahan ke seluruh permukaan wajah. Es batu dapat mengangkat kotoran yang tersumbat di pori-pori. Atau, gunakan masker yang berbahan dasar rumput laut, yang mampu mengecilkan pori-pori kulit. Gunakan seminggu dua kali

RalphWaldo EmersonChris Widener's Action Point:The way I would put this is: Everything costs something. Yourtime will cost you money and your money will cost you time. Thisis why it is so important to do two things: First, understandthe importance of priorities. What are you willing to give up inorder to make money or build a business? What will you bewilling to give up in order to spend more time with your familyor pursue a hobby you have a passion for? Second, realize thatsometimes when you "miss out" on something, it may just beProvidence getting you "in on" something better! Action Point:Do two things today. One, prioritize your life. Sit down andwrite out the ten most important things to you and then attachtime to them. Second, think of something you feel you aremissing out on and then focus in on what you may be able to getin on instead. You may be surprised at the turn your life takes!To your success!

Dermo Profesional Bio-Peeling Kit- professional skin care solution at home
After 3 years of intense research, Oriflame proudly introduces its DermoProfessional Bio-Peeling Kit.
It is a 2-step peeling system, formulated with patent filed technology that works on the skin’s surface to help remove the superficial layer of skin cells and then goes deeper to help boost the skin’s natural renewing process. It also helps to fade age spots and reveals less wrinkled, smoother and brighter skin.
Step 1 – Bio-Peeling Night SerumThe serum acts at the skin surface to help peel away the dull and damaged skin layer.It is formulated with DermoZymeTM, a gentle, yet effective technology which imitates the action of the skin’s natural peeling enzymes: skin feels immediately softer and smoother. The technology helps to boost the natural skin renewal process.
Step 2 – Daily Peel Cream SPF 12The day cream moisturises and has an in-depth action to help boost skin’s natural renewing process. It is formulated with neutralized salicylic acid, a potent, yet gentle ingredient found in willow bark, which day after day helps stimulate cell regeneration.As a result the skin’s natural renewing process is stimulated, favouring the reduction of visible age and photo-damage. It also contains SPF12 to prevent further sun induced ageing.
UsageApply on clean skin in light circular massage movements avoiding the eye area. Use Step 1 every other night (and your usual night cream the other nights) and Step 2 every morning for 1 month. Later repeat the treatment as often as needed.Proven resultsTo prove Bio-Peeling Kit’s effectiveness Oriflame carried out clinical studies which proved that after 28 days of usage wrinkle depth is significantly reduced.- Reduces the appearance of dark spots: 64% agree *- Significantly decreases wrinkle depth **- Smaller pore appearance: 75% agree *
* Consumer test on 90 women** Clinical test
Code 10983 - DermoProfessional Bio-Peeling Kit, 2x50 ml.
Dermoprofessional Bio-Peeling Kit is a patent pending Oriflame laboratory innovation. This means that Oriflame has created ground breaking technology which is completely new to the cosmetic market. The finding is so significant that it has been published in a Global Cosmetic Science Journal

8 Ways to Prevent Any Kind of Cancer
Drink Pomegranate Juice
Some say this luscious, lusty red fruit is Eve's original apple, but what the pomegranate truly banishes is cancer risk. The fruit's deep red juice contains polyphenols, isoflavones, and ellagic acid, elements researchers believe make up a potent anticancer combo. It's been shown to delay the growth of prostate cancer in mice, and it stabilizes PSA levels in men who've been treated for prostate cancer. And now University of Wisconsin at Madison researchers have learned that pomegranate may also inhibit lung-cancer growth. If you currently smoke, have smoked in the past, or hang around in smoky places (Cleveland, for instance), the juice of the fruit could bolster your defenses.Use it: The mice in the Wisconsin study received the human equivalent of 16 ounces of juice per day, so quaff accordingly.
Drink Pomegranate Juice
Got pterostilbene? Rutgers University researchers say this compound—found in blueberries—has colon cancer-fighting properties. When rats with colon cancer were fed a diet supplemented with pterostilbene, they had 57 percent fewer precancerous lesions after 8 weeks than rats not given the compound did. Eat blueberries and you'll also benefit from a big dose of vitamin C (14 milligrams per cup). In a study of 42,340 men, New England Research Institute scientists discovered that men with the highest dietary vitamin C intake (as opposed to supplements) were 50 percent less likely to develop premalignant oral lesions than men with the lowest intake were. Use it: "About two servings daily is the human equivalent of what we fed the rats," says Bandaru Reddy, M.D., Ph.D., a chemical-biology professor at Rutgers. Load up at breakfast: A cup and a half of blueberries over cereal, plus 8 ounces of juice and half a grapefruit (for extra vitamin C), will do the trick. If that's too much to stomach at dawn, spread it out over the course of the day.
Relax a Little
Anxiety won't only make you soil your shorts. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with increasing levels of worry died during the study period. Talk about flunking the exam. Only 20 percent of the optimists died before the 12-year study was completed. More anxiety-producing news: Thirty-four percent of the neurotic men died of some type of cancer. How neurotic are we talking? "Think of the biggest worrier you know—someone who stresses out over everything," says psychologist Daniel Mroczek, Ph.D., who conducted the study. "That man is probably above the 95th percentile in neuroticism. Then think of the most cool, calm, collected man you know. He's probably below the fifth percentile."Use it: To develop that critical, casual Jeff Spicoli vibe, learn to slow down your fast times: "The more time you spend in the present moment, the more relaxed you'll be, because most mental anguish occurs over stuff that's already happened or that may or may not happen in the future," says Claire Wheeler, M.D., Ph.D., the author of 10 Simple Solutions to Stress. "For the most part, right now is pretty damn good. If you practice being present while shaving, for example, eventually you'll also be more present when eating, making love, and working."
Pop Selenium
Selenium has long been thought of as a cancer fighter, but you can have too much of a good thing, says David J. Waters, Ph.D., D.V.M., director of the Gerald P. Murphy Cancer Foundation, in West Lafayette, Indiana. A study of almost 1,000 men, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, found that when those with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 1/2- year period, they cut their prostate-cancer risk by an impressive 92 percent. But men who started out with high selenium were rewarded with an 88 percent increase in total cancer risk when they took the supplements. Moral: It pays to get your selenium level right.Use it: Selenium in the body is measured through toenail clippings. Send yours to the Murphy Foundation, and for less than $100 (price varies by state), they'll ship them to a lab and then inform you of your level 2 weeks later. If yours is out of range, the foundation will explain how to adjust your intake of Brazil nuts, tuna, meats, grains, and selenium supplements. Learn more at seleniumhealthtest.com.
Order Sushi
As mentioned, Gary Stoner is using seaweed to fight the Big C. When he fed the polyphenols from brown seaweed to mice that had been bombarded with UV rays, their incidence of skin tumors dropped 60 percent. And the polyphenols shrank existing tumors by 43 percent. Better still, the doses that produced these effects were the equivalent of only 1 or 2 tablespoons in a human being. "Seaweed is low in calories and fat, yet it provides heart-helping fiber, bone-building calcium, and iron," says nutrition consultant Molly Morgan, R.D., C.D.N., owner of Creative Nutrition Solutions, in Vestal, New York. "Dried, roasted seaweed sheets used in making sushi also provide vitamins A and C."Use it: "Eat more sushi rolls," says Stoner. "It's not quite the same seaweed, but it has some of the same compounds." As a bonus, sushi itself is a great muscle food. A typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. Also, look for a Korean-made, seaweed-fortified drink called EntroPower (entropower.com), which should be hitting U.S. health-food stores soon.
Spend More Time Outside
Scientists have viewed vitamin D as a potent cancer fighter for decades, but there's never been a gold-standard trial—until now. A Creighton University study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer over a 4-year period than did women taking a placebo. "I don't think the effect is limited to women," says Joan Lappe, Ph.D., the lead study author. "Vitamin D is necessary for the best functioning of the immune system—it causes early death of cancer cells."Use it: Nature intended us to make vitamin D from the sun, but depending on where you live, the time of year, and how much of an agoraphobe you are, you may not reach the optimal level of 80 nanomoles per liter of blood that way. A blood test can give you a baseline.
Clear Your Air
Secondhand smoke may be even worse for you than we thought. A recent American Journal of Public Health study reveals that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of NNK, a carcinogen, in their urine than nonsmoking workers in smoke-free joints had. And their levels of NNK rose 6 percent for every hour worked. "There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, and the greater the exposure, the higher the risk," says the study's lead author, Michael Stark, Ph.D., principal investigator for the Multnomah County Health Department, in Portland, Oregon.Use it: Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars, and restaurants: Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Washington. So change locations, change professions, or change the laws. As you sip your pomegranate juice, sign up with Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights at no-smoke.org.
Invest a Little Sweat Equity
Study after study has pointed to the cancer-beating power of exercise. Now research from Norway has found that even a tiny dose of exercise has big benefits. A study of 29,110 men published last year in the International Journal of Cancer shows that men who exercised just once a week had a 30 percent lower risk of metastatic prostate cancer than did men who didn't work out at all. Increasing the frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise correlated with a further, gradual reduction in risk.Use it: Just one bout of weekend warriorism—a company softball game, pickup basketball, racquetball with your crusty uncle—might qualify you for inclusion in the cancer-free 30 percent.

"There is no safe level of exposure to secondhand smoke, and the greater the exposure, the higher the risk," says the study's lead author, Michael Stark, Ph.D., principal investigator for the Multnomah County Health Department, in Portland, Oregon.Use it: Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars, and restaurants: Arizona, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Washington. So change locations, change professions, or change the laws. As you sip your pomegranate juice, sign up with Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights at no-smoke.org.
Invest a Little Sweat Equity
Study after study has pointed to the cancer-beating power of exercise. Now research from Norway has found that even a tiny dose of exercise has big benefits. A study of 29,110 men published last year in the International Journal of Cancer shows that men who exercised just once a week had a 30 percent lower risk of metastatic prostate cancer than did men who didn't work out at all. Increasing the frequency, duration, and intensity of the exercise correlated with a further, gradual reduction in risk.Use it: Just one bout of weekend warriorism—a company softball game, pickup basketball, racquetball with your crusty uncle—might qualify you for inclusion in the cancer-free 30 percent.

Oriflame started with a focus on skincare products made from natural ingredients. Although the range today includes a wide variety of products, natural skincare remains the heart of the Oriflame product line.
With our Swedish origin comes a Swedish attitude towards cosmetics. Inspired by the uncomplicated beauty of the Swedish woman, we believe in enhancing people’s natural looks rather than concealing them.
We use mostly natural ingredients because we believe that ‘natural’ is better than ‘artificial’. For whatever nature can’t provide us with, we rely on state-of-the-art science and research. Oriflame has never tested any of its products on animals. We are influenced by the Scandinavian design tradition when giving physical form to our products. Reflecting our overall product story, Oriflame’s design is understated, clean and elegant.
