7 Ways to Reduce wrinkles





 I try all   sorts of ways to get their skin looking as wrinkle-free as possible.
There are a plethora of fancy facials that use, among other unique ingredients, lasers, bee venom, and even one’s own blood. In addition to those treatments, there are pricey cosmetic creams, Botox and even face slapping.
But you don’t have to spend a lot of money to prevent wrinkles.
As part of the “GMA” Yahoo Your Day series, “GMA” met up with Michele Promaulayko, Yahoo Health’s editor in chief, to get the scoop on how to prevent wrinkles for free. She said that most wrinkles are caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin, adding: “biggest culprits are obviously smoking and the sun.”
Promaulayko offered the following seven easy tips to prevent wrinkles:
1. Avoid drinking through a straw. “When you're pursing your lips a lot with a straw, you're going to get those little lines around your lips. It's not cute,” she said.
2. Limit frequent gum chewing. The repetitive motion of chewing, usually more on one side of the mouth, can cause wrinkles to be more pronounced on that side of the face.
3. Always wear your sunglasses, even when it's cloudy. "You're always squinting when you're in bright light. And that's going to cause fine lines around your eyes," she noted.
4. Try not to stretch your skin when applying or removing makeup. Just try to be gentle with your skin,” she said. “Also we have a tendency to … raise our eyebrows and open our mouth and make all these funny faces. Try not to do that."
5. Limit consumption of refined sugar. “It does nothing good. It breaks down your cells,” she said, adding that it causes inflammation.
6. Be aware of how much you’re looking down at your mobile devices. “You can use voice texting … holding your phone up and not looking down,” she said.
7. Try not to sleep on your side. “When you sleep on your side, you cause wrinkles on your face, but you also cause cleavage wrinkles,” she said. She advised that people sleep on their backs and use silky pillowcases.


Female Student Sparks Debate With 'I Don't Shave' Essay

PHOTO: Yasmin Gasimova is seen in this undated Facebook photo.
A UK student has worked online readers into a lather, after writing about her refusal to shave her body hair and perpetuate what she described as “unfair expectations of women.”
In an essay that appeared in the The Tab Liverpool, titled, “I Don’t Shave and I’m Not Going To Start,” Yasmin Gasimova wrote that since having stopped shaving at the age of 11, she has endured much criticism from acquaintances and schoolmates. But she remained staunchly opposed to the notion that she should alter her natural appearance to suit societal norms.
“As someone of Turkic origin, I don’t remember ever not having hair,” Gasimova, now 19 and a computer science student at the University of Liverpool, wrote. “In fact, as early as 10, boys were making fun of my moustache and I was trying to shave my noticeably hairy stomach.”

But a year later, the author decided that shaving her abdomen and legs wasn’t worth the inconvenience it caused her, so she stopped. After a period of pushback from friends, family and boyfriends, Gasimova wrote that most people close to her eventually agreed with her personal stance.
Gasimova did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment. But in her essay for The Tab Liverpool, the author also shared multiple photos exposing her unshaven legs, underarms, and face.
Some commenters offered support of her position on not shaving, cheering: “Good on you for be comfortable with your hair!”
Others asserted their dislike of female body hair.
“I'd hope the Author of this article is aware that many guys don't like body hair on women and that she's tough enough to take the, regrettably inevitable, abuse she's getting,” wrote one reader.
Gasimova disagreed, she wrote.
“If you think the au naturel look is gross, it isn’t – you only believe that because you’ve been conditioned to see it that way your entire life,” wrote Gasimova. “I dream of the day I can walk around in the summer in shorts, without being conscious of people judging me. It will, however, take many of my sisters joining me and ridding the public of the shock.”

Amazing Uses for Epsom Salt


What do pedicures, hair volumizers, tile cleaners and bath crystals have in common? They can all be created – at a low cost and in an eco-friendly manner – using Epsom salt. Comprised of the minerals magnesium and sulfate, Epsom salt is a natural exfoliant and anti-inflammation remedy that can be used to treat dry skin, sore muscles, small wounds and even to fight illness. It can also be added to any bath or foot soak to create a luxurious at-home spa experience. These budget-friendly, hassle-free tips from the Epsom Salt Council show how Epsom salt can keep you feeling healthy and beautiful in the comfort of your own home.



Hair volumizer



Hair volumizer
Adding Epsom salt to conditioner helps you to rid your hair of excess oil, which can weigh hair down and leave it looking flat. Create your own homemade volumizer by combining equal parts Epsom salt and conditioner. Apply and leave in for 20 minutes before rinsing. Repeat the treatment weekly.


Sunburn relief

Epsom salt’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a great tool for alleviating mild sunburn irritation. Take an empty spray bottle, mix two tablespoons of Epsom with one cup of water and spray on the affected area. Your days of dealing with messy aloe are over!


Dry lips 
Dry lips
Always find yourself fumbling for lip balm? Try giving your lips a deeper treatment using Epsom salt. Combine a few tablespoons of salt with a teaspoon of petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline), apply the solution to the lips, and gently rub it in. The solution helps remove dead and/or dry skin and will leave your lips looking fuller and healthier.

Bug bite relief

To help relieve common insect bites, just mix two tablespoons of Epsom salt with one cup of water, dip a cotton washcloth in the solution, and apply to the affected area.

Sore muscle sootherSore muscle soother
Epsom salt can help to relieve sore muscles after workouts. Create a muscle-relaxing “paste” by dissolving a teaspoon of Epsom salt into a cup of hot water and cooling the solution in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Make sure to clean the skin of the affected area and dry off before applying.
Pedicure

Treat your feet to even more fun with a low-cost, at-home Epsom salt pedicure. Mix one half a cup of Epsom salt with warm soap water and soak. Remove nail polish, cut and file toenails and then soak again for five minutes. Epsom salt’s natural exfoliating properties will help soften rough and callused skin, leaving your feet feeling spa-fresh.

Facial

Epsom salt’s natural exfoliating properties help give facial pores a deep clean. For an Epsom salt facial, add one half a teaspoon of Epsom salt to any face cleansing cream. Apply to skin, rinse with cold water, and dry.


 Post-shower spa treatmentPost-shower spa treatment
Gentle exfoliation is a common treatment at many spas, and you can have the same experience for a fraction of the price at home. After a shower, gently massage wet skin with handfuls of Epsom salt. The salt’s coarse texture and rich nutrients help to cleanse and get rid of dead skin cells, leaving your skin silky smooth.

Apple Cider Vinegar Will Totally Transform Your Skin & Hair

Apple Cider Vinegar Will Totally Transform Your Skin & Hair

If you’re still only using apple cider vinegar in your salad dressings, you’re missing out. As odd as it might sound, the all-natural, all-purpose kitchen staple is also becoming a preferred beauty potion. As someone who can’t even cut an onion, putting something as pungent as a vinegar on my skin and hair was not easy the first time. But the transformative beauty benefits of ACV kept me coming back until I finally just moved the bottle from my kitchen cabinet to my medicine cabinet.
Note: If you want to try any of these tricks at home, be sure to only use a raw, organic, unfiltered, and unpasteurized apple cider vinegar (we like Bragg’s, $9; amazon.com). And run it by your dermatologist, too.
As a Face Toner
I used regular toners for a few years, but I can’t say I ever really saw a big difference. Enter ACV, and my skin is brighter and tighter. “Skin is naturally acidic but when vinegar is used as a toner, it helps skin find the ideal balance between dry and oily,” says Dr. Karen Hammerman, cosmetic dermatologist at Vanguard Dermatology in New York City. I dilute a tablespoon of ACV with a few drops of water and apply with a cotton ball three to four times a week. If you have extremely sensitive skin, try adding more water to the mixture and use less frequently.

As a Hair Rinse
Ever notice how your shampoo seems to stop working after a few weeks, leaving you to assume that you need to buy a new brand? That could be the result of product buildup. It’s easy to forget that our scalp is skin and, just like our faces, needs a good deep cleaning every once in awhile. “Apple cider vinegar contains acetic acid which, when applied to your scalp, removes excess buildup left from styling products and shampoos,” says Hammerman. Twice a month, after shampooing, I pour one to two cups of the vinegar on my hair; I massage it into my scalp and let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing. Don’t worry, the smell won’t stick around—but if you’d prefer, try a clarifying shampoo like Fekkai’s Apple Cider Shampoo ($20,amazon.com) for similar effects.
To Soothe Burns
If the thought of rubbing highly acidic vinegar on red-hot, tender skin makes you wince, you’re not alone. My face still scrunches right before I apply ACV to a sunburn, but, fear not because it doesn’t actually hurt. Amino acids in ACV “can help balance hydration in the skin and calm irritation,” says Hammerman. Massage onto sunburns or razor burns to turn down the heat.

To Clean Makeup Brushes
ACV can de-gunk every tool in your application arsenal, from blush brushes to brow brushes. And the malic acid in ACV makes it antibacterial, says Hammerman—so, you’re washing out germ buildup, too. Hammerman suggests combining one cup of warm water with one teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, and one or two thick slices of lemon to scent the concoction. Clean brushes with the mixture, rinse with water, and lay out to dry
