Guess what season is it now? It's strawberry season everybody. Ok maybe not really strawberry season now, but I make it strawberry season for me everyday. I love strawberries and all beauty junkies out there, that means you, should know that strawberries or any berries are very very essential to your beauty. I love everything about strawberries and any beauty products with strawberries as their key ingredient. Yes, I'm absolutely, utterly crazily mad about strawberries!!

So, what's so spectacular about strawberries?

Strawberries can be used for conditioning and toning the skin. They are rich in salicylic acid, an ingredient found in many commercial acne creams and thus are the best treatment for acne-prone skin. Strawberries help to tone the skin, lighten any pigmentation problems and keeps the skin smooth and supple.

Here's the scoop on how to make a fresh strawberry mask. Mix 1/2-cup fresh strawberries with a tablespoon of sour cream for a weekly facial mask. The strawberry juice helps to tighten your skin, and at the same time the cream adds precious emollient for your dehydrated and tired out skin. Leave the mask on for 20mins then wash off with warm water. Pat dry face and moisturize to seal in the moisture. Now enjoy your new visage - taut, supple and rejuvenated.

If you don't have sour cream, just simply cut the strawberry into half and rub it all over your face gently. Again, leave it on for 15-20 mins and wash with warm water. Moisturize and enjoy your newly rejuvenated skin.

Another strawberry tip - Eating fresh strawberries will also help whiten your teeth and keep your breath fresh. Just rub the strawberry over your teeth and try to leave the juice on your teeth for as long as you can. The juice helps to loosen plague. Your teeth will be visibly whiter after that.

Give it a try. Not only are they great for our skin and health, strawberries just taste so good and smell heavenly. (Source: EzineArticles.com)

Sky Juice: Australia's Pollutant-Free Pure Rainwater

You know you must drink at least 8 glasses of water a day for hydrating and cleansing your body (flushing out toxins from your system) to prevent constipation and colon diseases. But do you know if the water you're drinking is clean enough to cleanse your body system?

Today I read an article and found out that Australia's rainwater, unlike others, is free from pollutants. And Australian companies have been selling such crystal clear rainwater known as 'Sky Juice' or 'Cloud Juice' for years. The rainwater is bottled after treatment and sold all over the world. Come to think of it, I might have seen it before in some local supermarkets but mistook them for some simply expensive spring water.

Does 'Sky Juice' really cleanse your body more effectively than the drinking water we're having now? I'm not sure about that. But I know, the most natural, safe way to detoxify your body is to drink enough water, and not sugar-loaded sodas or caffeinated drinks. Detoxification is the key to good health and clear, beautiful skin!

Anyone who dyes his hair wants a product that is gentle to his scalp and doesn't over-dry his hair. L'Oreal has unveiled its new ammonia-free hair color line, the Inoa, with 44 shades that allow you to lighten your hair by 3 levels, or darken the hair and cover grey hair, that is touted to be 45 per cent gentler on the hair fiber.

According to the brand, this new product will revolutionize the salon hair coloring industry, expecting to see a rising trend as more and more consumers switch to ammonia-free hair dye.

Rooibos: Relieves Stress and Fights Eczema and Acne

Rooibos, a unique plant from South Africa recently discovered for its benefits including stress relief and weight control, is the latest addition to the arsenal of acne fighters. It has a soothing effect on the skin, relieving itching and certain skin irritations such as eczema, nappy rash and acne when directly applied to the affected area.

Skin irritations such as acne and eczema are significantly relieved by direct application of Rooibos onto the affected area. The cosmetics industry is increasingly using Rooibos as a natural additive in skin preparations
to help improve skin complexion: Shea Terra Organics Rooibos Vitamin E Anti-oxidant Reparative Face Cream. I expect Rooibos to be the next big thing in beauty products having shown promise in alleviating the symptoms of psoriases and aiding in the treatment of acne and aging when used topically.

Several different brands of Rooibos tea are available both in health food and regular grocery stores. Skin health promoting teas contain a blend of herbs in their teas, such as rooibos, chaste berry, chamomile and burdock root. Choose a brand that works for you, and drink the tea consistently. Rooibos tea seems to work best at fighting cystic acne because of its anti-inflammatory properties. It takes about a week to see results, as reported by acne sufferers and by personal experience.

As Rooibos contains no oxalic acid, it can be drunk freely individuals suffering from kidney stones. Rooibos is also extremely effective in combatting iron depletion during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As it contains NO kilojoules (calories), Rooibos is the ideal drink for anyone who is watching their weight. It seems that anyone and everyone can drink and benefit from Rooibos!
