An Homage to Jessica Nails

Jessica
We love products from Jessica Cosmetics.

We use them in the salon, we sell them in the shop.

So, we made our very own Jessica Nails website.

Over time, we will put videos and stuff on there to do with natural nail care, but it’s early days and all we could manage today was the colour chart of all the Jessica Colours.

Any feedback or things you’d like to see, please let us know.

Cindi Likes Jessica Nails

294
Cindi, over at “Beautiful Makeup Search and Beauty Blog‘, likes Jessica Nail polish after trying Bedazzler.

Glad to see we aren’t the only ones who love Jessica Cosmetics and especially the Jessica nail polish range… as if ;-)

“My experience with Jessica Cosmetics nail color in the past is that it
holds up well in between appointments, with very little wear or
chipping… And because her polishes are all formulated for natural nails, they work very well with mine.”

Getting Acne As An Adult

An increasing number of women are developing acne later in life, sometimes for the first time having missed it as teenagers.

People with acne have an increased sensitivity in their sebaceous (oil-producing) glands to normal levels of the male hormone testosterone. The cells that line the hair follicle become sticky and, instead of being shed in the normal way, progressively block the duct so that sebum (oil) and dead skin cannot escape.

Bacteria multiply around the blockages, causing inflammation. Follicles blocked with waste material discolour on exposure to air and become blackheads. When the bacteria breaks down the trapped sebum, pus is created, forming whiteheads. Red blotches indicate more extensive inflammation.

Possible causes

It is not known why some people develop acne, although it may be hereditery. Also, it is not clear why more people are now getting acne during adulthood but one of the main causes is thought to be stress, which increases the production of male hormones (androgens). Greater use of oral contraceptives, which contain progesterone, may also be a factor.

Hormone changes before menstruation and during pregnancy can cause a flare-up of acne, as can hot temperatures and high humidity. Diet plays no part.

Another myth is that acne is caused by poor hygiene. If anything, sufferers tend to wash more frequently than those with clear skin in order to clear away excess oil. This may be a mistake as over-washing can dry out the skin and make the condition worse.

If you suffer from acne you could try the Ketsugo 3 step regime for oily skin.

Causes and Remedies for Dandruff

Dandruff

Your head feels itchy and you daren’t wear anything dark in case the flakes show - yes dandruff can be a real pain.

The appearance of flakes can be reduced, especially in those who suffer from only a mild case of dandruff, by proper hair care.

Some people avoid washing their hair, thinking that the drying effect of the shampoo makes dandruff worse, when in fact washing the hair regularly removes the dead skin cells before they build up.

Using acid-based shampoos helps restore acidity to the scalp, breaking down oils and preventing dead skin cells from collecting into visible clumps. However, shampoos with milder medication, or shampoos that are not marked to treat seborrheic dermatitis, may have little to no effect on redness and irritation.

Home remedies to get rid of dandruff include apple cider vinegar, salt or lemon juice. Apply the liquid to the scalp and allow to remain for several minutes to several hours, even overnight, then shampoo and rinse clean in the shower.

One good way to apply the liquid is from a spray bottle, or simply by pouring over the head. Apple cider vinegar can also be used as a rinse after shampooing: the vinegar will act as both a fungicide
to fight the cause of the cell buildup, as well as a rinsing agent, which will rinse clumps of skin away before they appear large enough to be visible.

Severe forms of dandruff, particularly if accompanied by flaking or scaling on other parts of the body, should be treated by a dermatologist. Dandruff can occur in conjunction with skin conditions
such as seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis.

Dandruff varies from person to person. It may be necessary to try various shampoos with different active ingredients (selenium sulfide, tar, salicylic acid, zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole)
to find the best suited for any one individual. Also, an individual may
find that alternating between different treatments will be more
effective than sticking with a single treatment, which can become less
effective over time.

At TS Beauty, we stock Australian Bodycare Shampoo and Conditioner which can be effective against dandruff with active ingredients of 2% Tea Tree Oil.
