It is in your Body–Glutathione (GSH). Every cell in your body requires an adequate supply of Glutathione to function and to stay healthy.

 Glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant in your body. Increasing Glutathione levels will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body, help minimize fine lines and wrinkles and strengthen your immune system.

Glutathione (GSH) is a protein produced naturally in our cells. Unfortunately, as we grow older our body produces less and less of this vital antioxidant. GSH functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin. It is a major defense system against illness and aging.

 Our Glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of Glutathione supplementation, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine.

 Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increases energy, improves concentration, promotes increased levels of exercise, improves chronic pain disorders, lowers blood pressure, improves heart and lung functions, and helps control the effects of diabetes.

Increasing age and other factors reduces the body’s production and utilization of GSH. Research has shown that individuals who have low levels of Glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness.

 Clinical data indicates our GSH levels decline by 8% to 12% per decade, beginning at the age of 20. Levels of Glutathione are further reduced by continual stress upon the immune system such as illness, infection, and environmental toxins. A lowered immune system results in higher incidents of illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need Glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of Glutathione.

 Unfortunately, supplements containing Glutathione alone will not increase the body’s GSH Levels. It is useless to purchase supplements that merely contain Glutathione, because the digestive system breaks down ingested Glutathione and it will not be absorbed into your system.

 Glutathione provides the proper nutrients needed to promote the body’s own ability to manufacture and absorb Glutathione. Glutathione aids in liver support by destroying environmental poisons thus helping the liver to function as the main production site and storehouse for Glutathione.

Here are some home remedies that may help to temporarily diminish the appearance of dark circles under the eyes, and prevent dark circles from worsening.

1. Be sure to drink enough water.

2. Wear sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30 under the eyes to prevent skin weakening caused by sun damage.

3. Get plenty of rest.

4. Apply plain cool used teabags over closed eyes.

5. Apply cool cucumber slices over closed eyes for 15 minutes.

6. Be careful not to consume too much dietary salt.

7. Eat more bananas –they are high in potassium

8. Vitamin C helps to strengthen blood vessel walls.

Common Causes of Dark Circles Under Eyes

• Thinning skin
  The skin under the eyes is thin and delicate to begin with. As we age, skin and the fat pad under the eyes becomes thinner, causing blood vessels to become noticeable. This gives the appearance of dark circles. Sun damage can make it worse because it weakens skin.
• Allergies and Hayfever
  Dark circles under the eyes can be the result of allergies to airborne substances, such as pollen, dust, and pet dander, because people rub their itchy eyes. People with hayfever may notice them at the height of the season. Food allergies or sensitivities can also contribute to dark circles.
• Genetics
  Dark circles under the eyes runs in families. They tend to be more noticeable in people with fair skin or deep-set eyes.
• Fluid Retention
  Blood vessels under the eyes can become dilated and engorged, which can contribute to dark circles. Excess dietary salt and smoking are common causes. Conditions that cause fluid retention (e.g. heart, thyroid, kidney, liver diseases) or medications that cause blood vessel dilation may be a factor. Your doctor should be aware of any symptoms you’re experiencing.
• Lack of sleep
  A lack of sleep can make skin appear more pale, which allows blood vessels to be more visible through the skin, giving the appearance of bluish or dark circles.
• Iron Deficiency Anemia
  Iron deficiency anemia may cause a bluish tinge below the eyes.
• Potassium deficiency
• Dehydration
  Dark circles under the eyes can be a sign of dehydration.

Full of anti-oxidants rockmelons are an excellent addition to the diet of anyone wishing to delay the aging process!

The high amount of beta-carotene and vitamin C (anti-oxidant) in rockmelon makes it an excellent fruit in helping to prevent many degenerative diseases. . 

Anti-coagulant:  A unique compound in rockmelon helps decrease the viscosity of the blood, hence preventing the abnormal formation of blood clots in the cardiovascular system.

Arteriosclerosis:  Regularly consuming vitamin C retards the development of hardening of the arteries.

Cancer prevention:  The high vitamin C content acts as a good anti-oxidant that protects cells from damages by free radicals.  Regularly drinking juices high in anti-oxidants keep cancer at bay, especially against intestinal cancer and melanoma.

Cataracts:  The natural vitamin A from beta-carotene in this juice lowers the risk of cataract and generally helps improve your vision too.

Cholesterol:  Drinking juices high in anti-oxidant has been proven to fight the oxidative stress that is the main culprit in oxidizing the LDLs in the blood.

High blood pressure:   Potassium in  rockmelon helps excrete sodium, thus bringing down high blood pressure especially in those with salt-sensitive hypertension. 

Immune system:  The strong content of vitamin C stimulates white cells to fight infection, naturally building a good immune system.

Insomnia:  A special compound in rockmelon relieves the nerves and calm anxieties.  A help for insomniacs.

Menstruation problems:  For women, drink this wonder juice around the time of menstruation and it will help reduce heavy flow and clots.

Muscle Cramps:  A deficiency in potassium can cause muscular cramps and greater susceptibility to injury. Drink rockmelon juice to prevent these.

Pregnancy:  The high content of folate (folic acid) prevents neural tube defects in infants.

Quit Smoking:  The natural nutrients and minerals found in this juice provides a synergistic combination that helps the body recover from nicotine withdrawal of one who is trying to quit smoking.  Smoking also quickly depletes the vitamin A in a smoker, but rockmelon juice can help replace it with its beta-carotene.

Stress:  When going through a stressful period, and drink its juice regularly.  The potassium content helps to rebalance and normalize the heartbeat. This in turn sends oxygen to the brain and regulates the body’s water balance.

Water retention:  Especially in pregnant women. Rockmelon juice helps your body excrete excess sodium, thus reducing water retention.

This skin condition can be a real hassle for some people and I have met women who have tried everything  from rough exfoliation to being given antibiotics to supposedly clear it up.

Exfoliation can work for some depending on the severity of the condition, but try eating rockmelon or cantaloupe as it is also known. I have suggested this to many women I have worked with and most never eat it at all.

When they have started to include this fabby fruit into their diet they have fantastic results with their upper arms, with the redness all going in a matter of weeks and the unsightly lumps and bumps minimizing.

Remember, your skin is an organ and will be the first to show signs of aging or internal nutritional unbalance.

Nutritional Benefits

Rockmelon is one of the most common fruits for us in Australia, but its full health benefits may not have been fully understood.  It is extremely nutrient-packed but yet has very low calories. 

This wonder fruit is highly concentrated with excellent levels of beta-carotene, folic acid, potassium, vitamin C and dietary fiber.  It is also one of the very few fruits that has a high level of vitamin B complex¾B1 (thiamine), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), and B6 (pyridoxine).

Rockmelon is rich in anti-oxidants that can help prevent cancer and heart diseases.

For an indulgent skin plumping body treat!

 Get a big packet of no frills powdered full cream milk from your supermarket and put the whole thing in a warm bath swishing around to dissolve the powder.

Get a trash mag to read.

Hop in the bath and soak!

Leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Great for any type of skin but also soothing for children with red sore skin from  excema  or other skin conditions as long as they don’t have a dairy allergy.

Pat yourself dry with large fluffy towel, smile!

 Usually these flushes start in the chest area and then creep up the neck and onto the face and cheeks and can look like a red rash and stay for ages.

The rash can’t be covered up with makeup and usually is bright enough to show through even the thickest  makeup application.

It usually occurs when you are nervous or anxious, like before public speaking or a big event like getting married!

This is the easiest and best remedy that I have found and I have tried and tested it to be 100% effective!

 Get an ice pack and cover it with a light cloth, so as not to burn the skin and hold it onto your chest area, not your face, whilst you are driving or being driven to your function. This will keep the area where it all starts, nice and cold and stops the flush from spreading up to your face.

 For brides, once you have walked down the aisle, with your chest freezing, looking fabby, by the time you have said your vows and your chest has thawed, the nerves will be over and you won’t flush at all!

 Yoghurt face mask

You will need - Natural full fat full cream yoghurt straight out of the fridge to be used as a face mask.

Put all over your face and leave on until the heat in your skin is gone which takes approx 20 mins.

After a while it starts to dry and goes a bit claggy. If at this stage your skin still feels warm, wack on some more cold yoghurt over the top.

 When all the heat is gone from your skin, Splash off with cool water and pat dry.

 The coolness of the yoghurt sucks the heat out of the skin and the natural fat, coats the skin and desensitizes it

 This is a fantastic and cheap way to soothe your skin and one that I have been doing and recommending since I was nineteen.

 Also works with wind burn and will soothe sunburn.

Can also be used on excema on children, as long as the allergy isn’t a dairy one.

What’s in anti aging cream?

Plenty, when it comes to anti wrinkle creams. If you are just beginning to select an anti wrinkle cream for you, start with a brand name that you know and trust.

Most skin care companies have their own lines of anti wrinkle creams, so that you can be sure to stick with the tried and true. If you are unsure of a good brand name for this type of product, you can go with one that has been designed by a dermatologist to boost your confidence.

Good examples of these lines of anti wrinkle creams include Dr. Brandt, MD Skincare and Dermalogica.

This way you know that you are getting the best knowledge and experience going into your anti wrinkle cream.

Once you have a brand in mind, you can check the ingredients to determine how effective your anti wrinkle cream will be. Keep in mind that the products with the higher concentration of ingredients will probably work the best – as long as they don’t irritate your skin in the process.

You also want a good delivery system in your anti wrinkle cream, so look for words like nanoparticles and microencapsulation on your product label.

Just like when you go grocery shopping, reading your product labels will ensure that you are getting the best ingredients in your anti wrinkle cream, which will translate to the biggest benefits for you and your skin.

Be careful you don't poke your eye out!

If your pencil is too soft, just pop in the freezer for 5 minutes and it will be perfect!

Always start from the outside edge of your eye and draw in little strokes towards the nose or inner eye. Sometimes you think that you are drawing a perfect line but when you look in the mirror there is always a skin coloured line between your lashes and that great line you just drew! Try to draw on your actual lashes and you will always get it in the right spot.

ANTI AGING EYE LINER

Because pencils are made up of waxes, sometimes they will smudge under or on your eyes, causing you to look tired, if you set the pencil with some eye shadow powder, this will hold the pencil line in place for ages. This is also a great way to layer your colour and subtly change your eye liner colours.

I always start with black pencil on the top lashes, this makes them look thicker and fuller.

To make green and hazel eyes “pop” or look greener, set the pencil with a blue or blue/grey shadow – using a fine brush trace over the pencil line with eye shadow.

To make blue eyes bluer, set the pencil with a red/brown or chocolate eyeshadow. You can have a great time changing your look this way!
