Best hair growth products for natural hair from Noas Choice

When I was a teen through my early 20’s, I only had a few hair concerns such as managing my natural curls, preventing dryness and overall hair damage. At 30, I am focused on fighting hair loss and maintaining healthy hair. I always had hair thinning on one side, which I believe I inherited from my father because he has the same. Moreover, my hair is a blend of two cultures — black and asian. I never have a perfect hair day. It is the reason I read articles like 5 ways to increase hair growth naturally and How to stop and reduce hair fall — 14 things that worked for me.

Recently, I researched some hair care options online to help maximize hair growth and fight hair loss. I found Noa’s Choice Hair Care Collection.

best skin remedy products for flawless skin

*** Fromgirltogirl.com was provided a sample product for honest review. Opinions are our own. Product reviews are not endorsements. ***

Given my new awareness on the importance of continuously improving myself physically and mentally, I am exploring different products and services to improve my body wellness. In recent years, I have noticed afflictions of the skin are more visible than I recall years ago, particularly sun burns, raw sores, and insect bites my skin suffers the most vulnerability from. I heard speciality skin cream could address my skin problems as well as skin afflictions such as chafes, burns, psoriasis, eczema, and poison.

If you are like me, my goal is to have flawless skin. I tried drinking more water and eating healthier. That helps to a degree and getting into the habit of regular exercise has its perks as well. But none of these address the healthy skin appearance after I have bruised my skin over the years through rough play, adventure, and a busy lifestyle. At the end of the day, stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, sunburn, and drinking alcohol has done some damage to my skin and overall beauty care. Now I am trying to get “back to good” with my overall health and skin appearance. Yes, I was that woman browsing how to get clear skin at home and other beauty tips.

During my web research, I found Zincuta Ointment, a speciality skin cream to bring relief and heal skin afflictions. It also serves as a best skin remedy for sores, abrasions, cuts, chapped lips, and hands. I was particularly interested in this ointment for its natural ingredients as I feel more comfortable using skin products when I know what the ingredients are. You can see the list of ingredients included in Zincuta now.

Trying out Zincuta Ointment

I love this skin care product’s every day use, including after shaving and to relieve skin irritation. Here are some of the great benefits of using Zincuta:

It relieves soreness at once
It has antibacterial and antiseptic properties
The coating protects injured parts of the body

To really get the most out of the ointment, apply it to the affected area and keep the skin covered until it has healed. Order the Zincuta Ointment today and let me know what you think.

How to protect the bottom of your high heels with StiloGuard® Heel Protectors

June 9, 2018 No Comments

Briana Booker wears easy to rmove stiloguard heel protectors

*** Fromgirltogirl.com was provided a sample product for honest review. Opinions are our own. Product reviews are not endorsements. ***

Shopping for the perfect pair of high heels is challenging and even after you find the perfect pair, the challenges do not stop. Often I get in the habit of wearing the same pair of heels if the high heels are incredibly comfortable and stylish. Unfortunately, I wear my favorites so much, I wear the bottom of the heel down.

If you have done this before, you can understand the frustration of hearing loud clicking with each step. To resolve my problem, I decided to do a web search on how to make your high heels last longer. I did this topic search because I hate to get rid of heels that never go out of style. Dirt, rain, inclines, and more can wear down high heels.

Recently, I have become more of a high heels fan. When wearing heels, I feel more confident, sexy, and stylish. It is similar to the feel good feeling I get when I wear blazers. Both high heels and blazers make me feel like I am stepping it up a notch.To help me look fierce, I decided to check out StiloGuard.

About StiloGuard® Heel Protectors

StiloGuard heel protectors help protect high heels and give stability on soft surfaces such as wet grass. Not only is it extremely durable but also a very affordable way to protect your heel fashion. Here is what Fromgirltogirl loves about Stiloguard:

1. The heel protectors improve stability, which is one of the hardest things to do when wearing heels, regardless if you are an amateur or expert heel walker.
2. One size fits all. Yes, the size StiloGuard fits heels from 6mm to 14mm. That gives us plenty of options to protect all types of heels and other similar products with multiple sizes areavailable to accommodate different heel widths.
3. Easy to use. You can literally put your heels into the StiloGuard heel protectors without sitting down.

Keep in mind StiloGuard should be worn on soft surfaces only. In short, do not wear them on hard surfaces such as cement marble, hardwood, and tile to avoid slipping and falling. It’s great to wear for a concert or event where you’ll be on the grass for long periods of time.

5 ways to reduce cellulite

February 10, 2018 No Comments

When it comes to reducing cellulite formation, you can do a number of things. You can load up on antioxidant foods, such as citrus fruits and veggies. There are many other things you can do. These things include the following:

Green Tea

Drink green tea often because this can reduce the visibility of cellulite. Green tea also can play a role in helping you lose weight and it is considered to be an antioxidant. Ideally, you should drink up to three cups of it per day.

Healthy Fats

Stop eating bad fats and replace them with omega-3 fats. These fats come from stuff such as nuts, oily fish, flaxseed and fish oils. When you have poor circulation, then your body won’t deliver nutrients to your skin cells as effectively as they could be.

Exercise

Exercise regularly because this will burn fat and boost your circulation. You’ll increase muscle tone, which will reduce the visibility of cellulite. Not only that, but you’ll improve lymphatic drainage, which will carry away toxins from your cells.

Cut Toxins Out

According to Dore Aesthetics The dermis can be affected when toxins are allowed to build up and this can lead to the formation cellulite. You want to remove toxins such as coffee, tobacco, and coffee. Also, stay away from heavily processed foods that contain a bunch of chemical additives and sugars, and don’t forget about drinking a lot of water.

Herbs

Give herbs a try, such as Dandelion leaf tea. You can drink this tea to help you flush out toxins, but you can also use the leaves in fresh juices. Another good herb to try is Ginkgo bilboa, which is also available in an array of forms and it can help boost your circulation.

Don’t forget about using external treatments on your skin, such as a coffee scrub, which you can use about 2-3 times per week. Once you’re out of the shower, take the coffee granules and massage them into the areas that are affected. Afterwards, you can rinse it off, and make sure you get all of it off.
