How to: Whipped Shea Butter for Dry skin/ Eczema

As the primary caregivers in many cases women often feel as if they are letting their kids, or spouse, down if they don't jump right in and make it all better. Take care of yoruself first and the rest will follow. Remember when you are on a plane and the flight attendant tells you to put the oxygen mask on yourself first, than help others? 

One of the most common, and potentially worst piece of advice we all get, about taking care of our skin is to wash our face frequently. Now obviously it's important to keep your skin clean, but if you wash your face too often you can actually be making matters worse. Harsh cleansers, hot water, rough scratchy towels and washclothes will all work together to keep your sensitive skin inflamed and raw. 

This is one reason why fitness experts no longer recommend a regime of just diet or exercise for weight loss, but suggest a program of both; a form of weight loss called High calorie expenditure suggests that a low or moderate intensity activity is better than merely dieting; the program recommends about 45 minutes of walking at least five times a week at a moderate rate, this walking should burn around one pound per week, which is the recommended rate of fat-loss for a healthy program. 

Another thing you should keep in mind when looking for skin care products is that you want to find products that don't contain a lot of harmful chemicals. If you can find organic products that is probably the best. And be careful, many companies will try to make it seem like their product is organic when it's not. 

If your acne is severe and before beginning any treatment on your own, the best thing to do is speak with your doctor to see if there is something he or she recommends either over the counter or prescription. A prescription may be covered by insurance so you won't have to foot the entire bill all by yourself. 

The biggest confusions lie around the question of how much time should a person exercise for each day, in order to maximise weight loss. Popular wisdom states that it is necessary to exercise for around an hour every day in order to burn enough calories to effect weight loss. This has lead to beliefs that a person doing walking exercise needs to cover 5 miles a day in order to lose weight, but this is of course not constant; in addition, people lose energy throughout the day after exercise, due to an increase in their metabolism.
