Nighttime beauty ritual

There's a reason they call it beauty sleep… Nighttime is the best time to renew, replenish and repair your skin, because when skin is at rest, it is the most receptive to skin care benefits.

Wash away the day

Don't even think about going to bed until your makeup has been removed and your face properly cleansed. When you leave makeup on, it can clog and enlarge your pores, cause breakout and prematurely age your skin.
Use a gentle, yet effective makeup remover to eliminate mascara, liner and shadows. An oil-based formula for face and eyes can handle even stubborn waterproof mascara without tugging or pulling. Use a cotton pad to apply and lift the makeup from your face. Then follow with a gentle facial cleaner.

Your evening dose of Vitamin A

As we age, skin produces less collagen, which keeps it firm and youthful looking. To stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines and reduce the appearance of pores, apply Vitamin A to your skin every night, either in the form of a prescription or over-the-counter retinoid cream. Retinoids can also help lighten brown spots.
Retinoid can be irritating to skin, as it stimulates sloughing and renewal. To counteract this and replenish your skin, apply a comforting cream or, better yet, an overnight mask to cradle your skin in moisture and minerals, plumping your complexion so that you wake up to a fresher, younger-looking face!
For example, VICHY Aqualia Thermal Night Spa is the 1st replenishing and soothing spa sleeping mask that offers power beauty transformation, thanks to deep hydration.  It's perfect for all skin types, even sensitive skin! Its refreshing gel-cream formula is creamy, yet light to envelop your skin in velvety softness that is never greasy or sticky.

How to plump your skin overnight:

1) Apply a thick layer of the facial mask to face and neck.
2) Relax and let it infuse your skin for 10 to 15 minutes.
3) Gently massage any excess into your skin.
4) Place your thumbs on your temples and your ring fingers in between your eyes. Apply a relaxing pressure.
Now, that your skin is relaxed, VICHY's mineral-rich water, concentrated in hyaluronic acid and patented AquabiorylTM will go to work to replenish and smooth skin overnight!

How food affect Your mood

1. Unhealthy Diet and Depression Long-term exposure to an unhealthy diet is a risk factor for depression, according to the findings of a 2014 study in the online journal  PLoS One  that looked at diet and depression in 3,663 people. What constituted an unhealthy diet, for purposes of the study, was one that was high in sugar and processed foods. “One of the symptoms used to diagnose depression is change in appetite, so there certainly could be a link between diet and depression,” says  Anil Malhotra, MD , director of psychiatric research at Zucker Hillside Hospital in Glen Oaks, N.Y. 2. Sugar and Food Addiction Research also hints at a link between sugar and addictive eating. For instance, a 2012 study published in the  International Journal of Eating Disorders  found that, of 81 obese people seeking treatment for binge eating, 57 percent met the criteria for  food addiction . Foods that people were addicted to were high in fat and high in sug...

17 beauty hacks for beautiful skin

If you have oily skin and you'd like to carry out something about this condition, here are few good tips for you: 1. To take care for oily skin you should begin with a gentle, foaming facial wash. This will remove dirt and oil without taking away moisture. 2. You should cleanse only two or three times at the very most with a product suited to your skin type.
