Organic Medieval Rose Healing Herbal Vinegar Toner by MisticalAcScents.etsy.com
March 9, 2010
Since ancient times up until Victorian, herbs steeped in vinegar have been used to tone skin and hair, as well as freshen garments and households. The cosmetic type of vinegar would be imbued with herbs that were more closely associated with beauty and skin conditions. This would then be diluted with rosewater, then a splash of the final mixture would be added to rinse water after washing the face, hair, or body. Depending on the herbs chosen, it helps cure everything from dandruff to acne, and makes an excellent mild toner, giving a healthy youthful glow to skin and hair. Used in the final washing rinse, it removes static and freshens clothes better than any commercial perfumed conditioner.
After much experimentation using as a guide both modern and period literature, the following concoction seems the best suited to current needs. A jar of up to 20 dried healing herbs such as rose petals, lavender, white willow, valerian, chickweed, elderflower, yarrow, comfrey root, lady’s mantle, fennel, and witch hazel are chosen for their healing, anti-wrinkle, toning, scar reduction or other properties. White wine vinegar is then added and it is put in the sun for about two weeks to impart the herbal properties. Once filtered, an equal amount of organic rose hydrosol is added. The resulting mixture is used in dilution; a few splashes in water to restore the pH acid mantle to the skin after cleansing, esp. with harsh soaps, and leaves the skin softer and more youthful, the hair bouncer with less residue, and virtually eliminates dandruff. Use as little as a few tablespoons in the final rinse of the laundry. Naturally, it’s far less likely to irritate or cause reactions in even the most sensitive person. Restores pH and acid mantle of skin. Cures eruptions. Safe for babies and children. Environmentally friendly with all natural, biodegradable ingredients!
100 ml goes for $8. Special orders with particular herbs for healing or scent is extra, as is the apple cider vinegar versions, and please allow more time for delivery. $2 off shipping with the purchase of two items. Three or more and shipping is free!
Scent is one of our strongest triggers. For the recreationists, I strongly recommend using authentic period fragrances on your garb and body. There is nothing like a period scent to help you and those around you feel like you’ve stepped back in time and are really living your persona!

The Truth About Perfection and Plastic Surgery
March 8, 2010
The 15 billion dollars the beauty industry reaps each year serves as a loud testimony that people have a definite idea of what beauty is all about. These ideas are usually stoked by media, however, and don’t really have much to do with reality. Imagine the horror of spending thousands to straighten your nose or round your chin just to find the only thing you have achieved is the ability to blend invisibly into a crowd. Before you decide to take any major steps to change your looks surgically there are a few things about beauty you really need to consider.
Take your blinders off when looking at a movie star or model. Look at what is really there and not what you want to see. For example, check out how far apart Cheryl Tiegs eyes are or take a close look at Kirsten Dunst’s not so quite perfectly straight teeth. If you need drastic example of beauty that shouldn’t be, take a close look at Barbara Streisand. Most of Barbara’s facial features could be listed as beauty flaws yet she is nothing less than stunning. Somehow Ms. Streisand learned to pull all of these imperfections together into one memorable and wonderful face.
Imperfect features have never stopped a confident person from being beautiful. Flaws give a person individuality. Individuality is what gets you noticed. How many times have you seen someone with no flaws? With the prevalence of plastic surgery you may have seen quite a few. The key is that you might just not have noticed them.
It is the beauty industry’s goal to make you feel inferior for having these flaws rather than individualistic and interesting. Before you are seduced into having the bump in your nose removed or your pointed chin rounded, remember that it may be these very features that stop a stranger’s eyes at your face when they are scanning a room full of people. It may be the feature that makes you memorable as well as noticeable. Do you really want to tamper with that?
There are a few things that all beautiful people have in common that you can achieve without the necessity of resorting to “the knife”. A consultation with a makeup artist is inexpensive compared to a plastic surgeon. They can show you how to highlight your features in a way that you will be able not only to keep your individual features, but actually use them to your advantage. By using make up tricks you can also change your looks as styles change. Do remember that styles change and if you have a feature changed to something that is more stylish today, you might find yourself out dated very shortly.
Health is also a trait that you will find that beautiful people have in common no matter what the current fad in beauty is. There is something extremely sexy about the radiant glow of health. Learn how you can achieve healthy naturally radiant skin. Once you achieve healthy skin, half of your battle for excellence is already won. Even makeup can’t hide ill health. It doesn’t hide great health either. Good health will make you feel as much better as you look, too.
A last item you might take notice of is the shine in the eyes of the people you consider beautiful. People with true beauty radiate confidence, a keen lust for life, and a drive for success no matter what their beauty flaws are. Frustration, boredom, and lack of confidence show and will work against the most perfect of features. If you don’t feel good about life or yourself, that nose job isn’t going to make you beautiful. It will just change your nose.

The Differences Between Teen and Adult Acne You Must Know
February 26, 2010
Many people do not know how widespread adult acne is in today’s world. Some don’t even know the existence of it. Many thought their nightmare with acne ends the moment they leave their high school. How wrong they are! Grown-up acne is so common in today’s world that up to 50% of the female adults and nearly 25% of the male adults are affected by it. Imagine the statistics and you will definitely be amazed why there are still so many grown adults who do not know that they can still be a victim for acne. Perhaps this group of people needs to be taught a lesson by having a few zits grow across the center of their face.
Let’s spare a thought of them. Since many people are confused with difference between teen and adult acne. I shall talk further about the three differences between the both terms.
1) Adult acne is harder to treat than teen acne!
–>This is perhaps the most important difference between teen and adult acne which any acne sufferers need to know. Teen acne is basically caused by the occurrence of puberty in ones body. It causes hormonal imbalance which as a result causes oily skin. It would eventually cause acne. Most importantly, normal teen acne sufferer has oily skin.
Adult acne sufferers however, come with both oily and dry skin types. The difference skin types have different treatments. Many OTC (over-the-counter) products cater to those with oily skin type. Many or nearly all OTC products have the side effects of drying up your skin and causing your skin become red. This is because many of the useful and commonly used acne products ingredients include topical products, such as the most frequently seen, benzoyl peroxide.
Hence, many acne sufferers with dry skin have a hard time finding suitable acne treatment products. For this group of people, a moisturizer can be used occasionally to moist up the skin and reduce the dryness. Luckily, there are many treatments out there that do not require us to apply lotion on your acne spot. If you are one with dry skin, NEVER overlook the effect of dry skin! Simply because if you have skin redness or swelling, it could cause a further irritation on your skin and it further worsen your acne condition.
2) Adult acne sufferers are more prone to severe acne
–>Reports have shown that adult acne sufferers are more prone to severe acne than teen acne sufferers. And among the two sexes, the males tend to have a higher rate of having severe acne as compared to the females, who generally have a higher chance of having adult acne.
One reason why they are more prone to severe acne problems could be because many adults tend to treat acne lightly. Some might that it would be a come-and-go thing and for some, like I said earlier, don’t even know that acne can happen in grown-up. Besides, teen acne sufferers are normally exposed to a higher social pressure. This could be partly due to puberty. Hence, they would be more anxious to have their acne treated .If you’re a grown-up with acne reading this, arm yourself with adequate knowledge before you try to treat adult acne. Acne; or rather Adult Acne is never a come-and-go thing. If you do not take action, acne will take action. Sitting back and relax will only mean that your days of severe acne are counting by. Don’t let the word “lazy” ruin your golden years.
The third difference between teen acne and adult acne is the causes. If you want know the third differences, or if you want to know more about adult acne, you can visit my blog, there is a link below with a link to my blog. See you in my blog! Do remember to give your honest comments.

Tips for Finding Effective Herbal Acne Treatments
February 22, 2010
Chances are, if you find yourself reading this article, you have suffered the feelings of embarassment, self-consciousness and insecurity an acne breakout can bring on in what seems like the blink of an eye. Suddenly, you find yourself checking the mirror every hour on the hour, hoping the blemishes on your face have spontaneously cleared and you can breathe a sigh of relief.
You feel sure that everyone you come in contact with is zooming in on each and every blemish, and why wouldn’t they be? It’s certainly the first thing YOU see when you look in the mirror!
Now, imagine you experience this exact scenario every day of your life, as many men and women do who suffer chronic adult acne, far beyond the “acne prone” years of adolescence. The fact is, acne remains a very real and persistent problem in today’s society for men and women, teenagers and adults, and instead of going away or getting better, it seems to be more prominent and more severe than ever.
What this can be attributed to is the subject of much debate in the medical and dermatological community. Higher stress levels? More hormones and synthetic chemicals in our foods? Genes? Changing diets? It’s anyone’s guess, but the fact remains that acne is a very real cause for emotional distress, self-consciousness and insecurity for many, and it shows no signs of getting better.
With the advent of modern dermatology and medical science, there have been some excellent new products that combine modern science and nature to form a hybrid product superior to many of it’s prescription counterparts, and highly effective for many who have found that traditional treatments failed them in the long run. The aim of these products is to facilitate hormonal balance, therefore targeting acne at the source, from the inside, rather than the outside alone.
Some of these herbal acne medicines have proven highly effective in combatting acne by “cleansing” the skin from the inside, getting to the source of the problem by balancing the natural testosterone and estrogen found within the male and female body. When looking for a natural acne treatment alternative, be sure to check the ingredients and indications.
Chances are, it’s a good product that will probably do what it says if it puts itself in the category of either a high antioxidant supplement, or if it has herbs and natural ingredients which help to calm the nervous system, which in turn will usually help to calm raging hormone levels that often accompany acne. Excess testosterone and excess estrogen are the primary causes of acne, hence the most common years for acne breakouts are the teenage years of hormonal turmoil.
Natural acne products can actually clear the skin for good, only requiring occasional follow up treatments, whereas conventional methods can require constant treatment, and the results disappear as soon as the individual weens themselves off the medicine. Also, many acne treatments prescribed by doctors or dermatologists are antibiotic in nature.
Continuous antibiotic treatment can actually result in antibiotic resistance in the body, meaning when you really need your body to respond to antibiotic treatment, such as in illness, it may have built a tolerance and need more powerful meds to respond correctly. Some prescribed acne medications can even be dangerous, and are to be taken only for the most severe cases of acne and with the utmost caution (Acutane).
These treatments and systems are designed to target the hormones, balancing them in many cases for good, and requiring little or no follow up treatment or monitoring. They can work for people (myself a case-in-point), who have had every other conventional acne treatment fail them time and time again, or become ineffective over time.
Overall, herbal acne remedies have proven to be a highly effective and cost effective alternative for countless acne sufferers. If they weren’t effective they would not be such a popular category of skin care products today, both online and in higher end department stores. Nature works harder and also works in unison with our bodies, unlike many drugs that can disrupt and “clutter” our bodies.
