A Beauty Rx For The Upcoming Award Season!

                              It's All In The Hands! 

Quick question? What part of the body starts to show signs of aging first? 
If you said hair, (graying) or the eyes, (wrinkles) you're wrong. 
It's the hands and neck.
Why is that?
Thinner skin and fewer oil glands to keep them moisturized. 

And if you're a fan of all of the award shows, then you better get ready. 
We don't mean ready as in attending, we mean getting ready to watch. 
And if you're really a fan, then you also know that some award shows have thrown
a new feature into some of these shows.
What type of feature?
A machine that looks at hands. 

Yes, at some shows last year the hosts asked some actresses (hey-no actors) 
if they'd be willing to place their hand in or under some type of machine. 
What was the point of doing this? 
We're not sure, to look at their manicures or to look at the ages of their hands,
well , some actresses willingly obliged, (the younger ones)
and some said a big fat, No Thank-You! (some older actresses).
And if you want to avoid someone asking to look at your hands or if you just want to
keep them looking their youthful best, use the following hand mask.
A mask for your hands? 
Yes, you do it for your face, why not your hands?

Here's the anti-aging hand mask, called...
The Mango-Hand Mask!
Ingredients:
In a blender or small food processor,
add some ripe mango, 1/4 cup, a tsp. honey and some almond or olive oil. 
Blend for a few seconds and apply it to the back of your hands and nails. 1 Tbs.
Sit back,  and relax for 15 to 20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water. 
And if you're wondering, why mango?
It (mango) is loaded with vitamins A and C, nutrients that promote
younger looking skin. Plus, the fruit has fatty acids that leave hands soft, silky
smooth and moisturized.
And if you want a mask that's already prepared- head online to the
TheBodyShop-usa.com. and order the
Body Shop Mango Hand Cream. $8.00 for one tube.

And one last tip--
If you also want some tips on how to keep your neck looking as youthful as
the rest of your body, head online to Amazon.com and type--see title to
the right.. Download it and learn the breakfast food (whether it's 

eaten or worn as a mask) that'll keep your hands and neck looking like a young man or woman still in college.

Good Luck!

The Hollywood Exercise To Reduce Appetites!

                                   Exercise Your Way To A Reduced Appetite! 

An out-of-control appetite is a problem for millions of Americans,
and if you ever hope to get weight under control (or maintain your weight)
then you must do something about it.
And thanks to new research, that something may come in the form
of a yoga class.
But not just any yoga class, "hot yoga" or Bikram yoga to be exact.

What is it?
Performing yoga in a room that's over 90 degrees.
And if you need some proof that this works, you can look to 
stars like Kaley Cuocco, Jennifer Aniston, Jenny McCarthy,
David Beckham, Lady GaGa, Anna Paquin, Madonna
and Demi Moore.  
Ms. Aniston has been doing this type of yoga for over
10 yrs. and credits it with helping her get both her mind 
and body right after a very public divorce. (Brangelina).
So, if you've been through Weight Watcher's, Jenny Craig,
prayer sessions, hypnosis and starvation in the hopes that it would
control your appetite, then maybe it's time for some yoga, Hot yoga. 

And one last word of advice:
If you haven't exercised in awhile, if you're really out of shape,
if you smoke or if you have some type of health problem,
(high or low blood pressure, heart condition) you may want to skip the
hot yoga. Talk it over with your personal physician or healthcare provider
and find the exercise program that best suits you.

Good Luck!

Coming soon to Amazon.com/the kindle store, The Complete Guide To
Keeping your Hands and Neck Youthful.

Beauty Solution For The Hand Cam!

                               Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands! 

If you're truly a fan of award shows, then you may know all about the "Hand Cam" 
what is it? It's a camera set up so stars can show off their bling on social 
media sites.
It's a little different than the usual non-stop chatter we get about
"what the stars are wearing."

And now that some red carpets have this feature, some stars don't want any part of 
it. Why you ask?
Unlike the face, the hands age more quickly and a few stars still want you to think 
they're forever 25.
One of those stars: Jennifer Aniston!

That's right, on a recent award show, Ms. Aniston was asked by interviewer
Maria Menonous if she would show her hands to the camera and Ms.
Aniston said NO. Not a little no, but a big emphatic No. 
Now, you may know that her costar Courtney Cox has had issues with 
her hands, so much so, she even asked Ellen D. for advice on what to do,
but Jennifer Aniston, we thought she'd never age.

Well, if  your hands are starting to look older than the rest of you
and you want to do something other than surgery (fat injections)
try out a new moisturizer.
The new moisturizer:
Crabtree & Evelyn Citron, Honey and Coriander
Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy, price- $8.00
find it online at-Crabtree-Evelyn.com.
The moisturizer contains the herb Coriander and it (the herb)
thickens the skin by boosting collagen production.

That's it, and don't forget this Sunday is the Oscars.
Let's see if the "hand cam" is present on this red carpet.

Good Luck!

The Latest Rx For Youthful Hands!

                          Stop The Aging Process On My Hands! 

Some Hollywood stars love to flaunt how young and vibrant they still feel.
That may be true if you look at their faces or bodies, but get a shot of their
hands and the actual truth will be revealed.

What kind of truth?
The truth of their real ages. Hands- like elbows, the eyes and necks have thin skin 
on them, therefore making them age much more rapidly than the skin on your cheeks,
(both sets of cheeks)  the back, and your legs, and that's why you must pay
special attention to those areas. 
Recently, a new product came out and it'll help you reverse some of that aging 
and the best part- it doesn't require you to dip into your bank account.
The Rx:
A hand cream, called Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Hand Treatment,
price $8.00. The product is fortified with vitamin C (which is necessary to
help new skin cells develop and fade those pesky age spots). Plus, it
has sunscreen, to help keep future age spots away.
Use this product for a few weeks, and you should see a noticeable difference
in your hands.

And if you want something natural,  (like rice water or buttermilk)
look for the natural solutions we've posted in the past.

Food Rx For Women Over 40!

                           Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands!

Women who are over 40 in Hollywood seem to be doing very well these days.
Women like Sarah Jessica Parker, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts
and Jennifer Aniston, yet this wasn't always the case. 
In fact, if you were a woman and over 40, the roles were few
and far between.

The change happened for a few reasons...some movies starring women 
earn just as well as movies starring men, (The Blind Side, Bridesmaids)
more women have important roles like directors and producers and perhaps
the biggest change- women take better care of themselves and that helps
them when they have to play a character who's 10 to 15 yrs younger.
But, no matter how good they look for their age, there's one part of aging
that a lot of women can't escape, what is it?
Brown Spots.

And stars like Madonna, Sarah J. Parker and Courtney Cox have said that
they eat right and exercise and yet the unsightly spots have affected them.
If you a regular woman out there is also bothered by age spots and don't want or
can't afford the pricey treatments available out there,
head to your supermarket and pick up the dairy product
that can help those age spots fade away naturally.

What dairy product?
Buttermilk!
That's right- the stuff mom or grandmom used to give biscuits or pancakes
a little extra zing, can now help you turn back the clock...on your hands, 
back or face.

Buttermilk contains mild acids that safely and gently slough away the top layers
of skin and help reduce the brown spots as effectively as a drug store remedy
or the laser equipment in a cosmetic surgeon's office.
To use: On your day off or when you have a few moments to yourself,
dab some buttermilk on the tops of your hands, leave on for 10 mins.
and then rinse off. Repeat a few times a week.
Also effective- Chamomile tea, (brew and then cool) and place on your hands
like the buttermilk. Or mash up some chickpeas, and add some buttermilk or
cham. tea or lemon juice to them and place the mixture on your hands
for 10 to 12 mins.

That's it- a simple remedy to help your hands, back and face look as good 
and youthful as the rest of you.

Good Luck!

Cougar Town's Food Rxs For Youthful Hands!

                                   Turn Back The Clock On Your Hands! 

Did anyone catch Jay Leno last night? 
His guest- Courtney Cox. Ms. Cox talked about aging and her efforts to
slow down the clock, the aging clock. 
She also talked about a part of the body that's really giving her trouble.
What body part was she talking about? Her hands.
She revealed to Jay that she recently had a chemical peel 
and was a little reluctant to shake hands.
Ms. Cox and a lot of people who are over 40 are learning no 
matter what you  do diet, exercise or moisturizer wise, the hands
really show their age, why? The skin on the hands, the neck and around
the eyes is really thin and that's why you must take extra steps to help
prevent them from aging.
But how?
There are a few things you can do, and if you continue reading, you can
learn how to fool anyone into thinking your hands are 5 to 10 younger
than they actually are.

1) Keeping hands youthful-
Like the face, using moisturizers and masks can keep it youthful, so use those
same things on your hands. Some suggestions...
a) An Apple and some Milk-
Called one of the best ever 1-2 combos for looking yrs. younger,
the lowly apple and some milk is a miracle worker. 
To do: Peel and then wash an apple, cut into thin slices and place the
apple slices in a small pot, add 1/4 cup of milk and heat for a few mins.
After a few mins. turn off the pot, let the apple and milk cool for a few mins.
Sit back in a chair or a recliner, and place the apple and milk combo on your 
face, neck and then on the top of your hands. Sit back and relax for 15 to 20 mins.
Then remove the apple slices and wash your face, neck and hands with warm water
and a mild soap.
b) An Avocado and Milk-
The avocado and milk may work better, but it's slightly more expensive to use
avocados and it's a lot messier. Use this or the apples a few times a week, and then
once a week for maintenance.
c) An Egg Yolk-
The egg white facial is popular, but egg whites work to get rid of fine lines,
to really tighten up the skin, use the yolk. A woman in India advised young people 
to use egg yolk facials for 30 days to treat acne, and a lot of them noticed tighter skin. 
So, if aging hands are a concern, beat an egg yolk, apply to the face, neck and hands
and then lie back and relax for 15 to 20 mins. Save the unused egg yolk  (refrigerate)
and use 3 times a week.
After 3 uses, get another egg yolk and start the process all over again.
Do the egg yolk facial and hand treatment exercise-2 to 4 times a week, and after
a month, do it once a week for maintenance.

2) Brown Spots-
This is a real concern for Courtney Cox, after 45 many women and some men
may experience it. You can use peels, but there's a danger involved and of course 
the price, or you can use all natural methods like...
a) Rice Water-
A medical writer while writing about the men and women who
worked the rice fields in a region of China, noticed their hands looked
youthful. What was their secret? The rice water. 
You don't have to travel to China, Korea or Japan to get the rice water, 
just soak some rice- (brown or white) overnight. In the morning, take the water 
and place it in a clean container and spray some on your hands. Leave on for 30
to 60 mins. and then rinse off. Do this a few times a week.
b) Buttermilk-
Buy some and apply to your hands. Do this a few times a week.
c) Chickpeas-
Mash up some chickpeas and apply the mixture to the top sides of your hands. 
Or better yet, why not mix some mashed chick peas with rice water or buttermilk 
and then apply.

3) Moisturizer-
A lot of people remember sun screen, but don't forget moisturizer.
If you're budget allows, go ahead and splurge and buy a moisturizer
from the drugstore, or use something from the pantry like...
olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil or vaseline.
Apply after showering, bathing or after washing your hands for dinner.

That's it- 3 tips for youthful hands, and if start doing some of the things listed 
above in your late 20's, you can avoid the chemical peels, laser treatments or rice
water treatments,

Good Luck!
