The effects of aging are quite obvious. Before starting to fold very small. As we age, skin loses its ability to operate in the rest of the skin tissue. As a result, a substantial portion of the skin is loose.

Natural ingredients like CynergyTK, Phytessence Wakame and Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 were tested and examined by experts. CynergyTK contains functional keratin, apossible type of complex proteins, collagen and elastin regeneration. Functional Keratin is the key to improving skin elasticity. For this treatment works best, you need the help of Phytessence Wakame. This drug can help prevent harmful enzymes that attack the hyaluronic acid. This acid-collagen proteins provide moisture. Collagen should be adequately hydrated to prevent tissue damage. Nano Lipobelle HEQ10 is a type of antioxidant. This antioxidantsmaller molecular structure. Its small molecular structure allows deeper into the skin to get rid of harmful free radicals.

Best Bathroom Ventilation - Vent Away Moisture and Mold With These Tips

The American bathroom is undergoing a major renovation. The standard 5'x8' bathroom with a tub and shower combo is giving way to a spa-like setting with artistic styling and unique materials. Bathroom ventilation however, is frequently underpowered to handle the steam, humidity and warm temperatures that result, and won't prevent the bathroom mold and mildew that can follow.

There are many new options for bathroom renovations that will help you create a bathroom that looks great, performs well, and is relaxingly beautiful. Included among these, are some real advances in bath ventilation that can keep these rooms looking great for years to come.

How to vent your steam
Warm temperatures and lots of humidity make a bathroom a hot spot for mold and mildew growth. Uncontrolled humidity can cause allergy problems and damage windows, walls and ceilings by encouraging the growth of molds, mildew, bacteria, dust mites, dry rot and insects. To prevent your bathroom from becoming a Petri dish, you'll need a powerful bathroom vent fan.

There are three kinds of fans that can do the job; bath fans, remote fans and energy or heat recovery ventilators. Bath fans are installed directly in the bathroom, usually on the ceiling, and discharge moisture to the exterior via a duct. Remote fans, also known as multi port ventilators, are mounted elsewhere in the building, such as in the attic, and use ducts to exhaust air from one or more bathrooms at the same time.

In addition to being able to handle larger baths, one popular advantage of multi port ventilator is that they are extremely quiet. Since the fan is mounted in a remote location, very little sound is transmitted to the bathroom.

Today's newer homes may, but don't always, include bathroom ventilators. Surprisingly, in some areas of the country, builders are not required to install a bath fan if the bathroom has a window, as if you could just leave a window open on a chilly winter morning! If your builder expects you to shower in sub-zero conditions, make sure you ask for a bath fan to be installed when the bathroom is built.

In addition, it is very important that bath fans be vented correctly. One of the most common mistakes builders make is venting the bathroom into the attic, which just transfers the moisture and mold problem overhead. Efficient bathroom ventilators must vent to the outdoors, sending moisture back into the environment.

Typically, the exhaust vents should be located over or near the shower or bathtub and in an enclosed water closet. With windows closed, exhausted air will be replaced by makeup air from adjacent rooms or forced air system registers. Bathroom doors should also be undercut by at least 1 inch to allow return air to enter the room.

Your bathroom ventilator should be left on for 20 minutes after use of the bathroom. A timer is a good solution, allowing the fan to turn off automatically at the proper time. For steam showers it is best to have a separate fan in the steam room that can be turned on after use.

For bathrooms up to 100 square feet in area, the Home Ventilation Institute (HVI) recommends that an exhaust fan provide 1 CFM per square foot (approximately eight air changes per hour) to properly ventilate the bathroom. For example, if the bathroom is 8' x 5' (with 8' ceilings), your bathroom area is 40 square feet. At 1 CFM per square foot, the minimum recommendation is a fan rated at 40 CFM.

For bathrooms above 100 square feet in area, HVI recommends a ventilation rate based on the number and type of fixtures present, according to the following table:

Toilet: 50 CFM
Shower: 50 CFM
Bath Tub: 50 CFM
Jetted Tub: 100 CFM
For example, if the bathroom is 20' x 12' with a tub (without jets), a shower enclosure and an enclosed toilet, each fixture will require 50 CFM, so the minimum recommendation for a ventilator is 150 CPM.

For bathrooms this size, you have two options:

Install a 50 CFM bath vent fan over the tub, one in the shower and one in the water closet. This method is very effective and will provide ventilation where and when it's needed.
Or, install one 150 CFM fan. The air will then be pulled through the entire room and exhausted at a central location.

Products For Dry and Damaged Hair

Products for dry and damaged hair replenish lost or stripped moisture while repairing split-ends and damage due to heat, chemical or environmental factors.

Breaking, tearing and loss of control are frequently the result of lost hydration.  Wind-blown locks (i.e. Spring Break), coloring, perms or over-styling with flat irons or blowers can steam and frizzle breaking down protein bonds that keeps the follicle shaft soft and pliable.  Lost nutrients, poor protein structure and loss of moisture leave styles frizzy and unmanageable.

Solutions for Dryness & Repair

As a manufacturer, we receive calls daily (especially during the spring and summer) asking for advice to repair damage.  From a product standpoint, there are two options.  One, use a moisturizing shampoo, and two, periodically use an oil treatment for quick repair.

Moisturizing Shampoo - While the term is thrown around quite a bit, moisturizing shampoos are formulated with specific ingredients that help replenish and restore protein bonds while maximizing absorption into the shaft and scalp.  What to look for?  Our most popular and successful products are formulated with two ingredients we think provide maximum benefit - Emu Oil and Panthenol.  Emu Oil is a deep penetrating compound that is easily absorbed into the sheath and cortex of the follicle.  It has transdermal properties meaning it penetrates depeply and easily and is a "carrier" oil - allowing it to infuse topical nutrition, vitamins and amino acids.  Panthenol helps soothe scalp and shaft and helps lock-in and retail elasticity and moisture.  Like many products prolonged and consistent use is recommended for maximum benefit.
Oil Treatment - There are several oils that will do the trick - Jojoba Oil, 100% Emu Oil, and Argan Oil.  Our preference is Jojoba Oil.  Though the others work great and are used for targeted treatments, Jojoba Oil (naturally-derived from the mid-western U.S. Jojoba shrub) mimics our natural scalp oil (sebum).  It is a common additive for shampoos and conditioners and is used alone for direct application.  It is well known for its' non-greasy properties and has proven excellent at helping repair damage while providing excellent hydration for scalp and hair dryness.

A dry hair shampoo combined with periodic Jojoba Oil treatments are excellent products for dry and damaged hair.  You get instant moisturization and repair combined with a long-term solution to maintain moisture, add body and control, and protect from future damage.
