What Are Some Benefits Of Vitamin C Skin Care?

Tweet

Vitamin C is known to be a powerful immune booster, but it is also very good for your skin. Whether you are using a Vitamin C serum or cream, this amazing vitamin can bring plenty of benefits to your skin care routine.

Anti-Oxidant Protection

Whether ingested or applied topically, Vitamin C is a powerful anti-oxidant. Our skin cells are constantly under attack by free radicals which result from pollution, UV exposure and even our own cellular metabolism. Anti-oxidants help change free radicals into their more harmless form.

Reparative Properties

Vitamin C is a popular ingredient in many skin serums due to its ability to regenerate damaged cells. Our skin cells are constantly changing and shedding, but a damaged cell will not be as good at functioning and replacing itself as a healthy cell. Fortunately, Vitamin C can fight damage by helping encourage natural cellular repair processes.

Anti-Inflammatory

Recent studies have shown that Vitamin C has significant anti-inflammatory properties. This allows Vitamin C to be a powerful soothing agent for irritated skin, making this important Vitamin particularly helpful for inflamed or sunburned skin.

Melanin Balance

Melanin is the pigment that gives skin its color. While each person has a different concentration of melanin, this pigment can be overproduced by skin cells due to sun damage causing dark spots on the skin. Vitamin C helps taper melanin production and fight the appearance of sun spots.

Versatile and Compatible

Vitamin C is compatible with a variety of other vitamins, minerals and compounds that are found in healthcare. You can find Vitamin C combined with Matrixyl 3000, a powerful wrinkle fighting ingredient, or hyaluronic acid, a well-known hydrating agent.

Whether you need to soothe skin or want extra sun protection, Vitamin C is a great addition to your beauty routine.

Holi- and Holy Day 2018

Tweet

One of the most awaited holidays or should I say Holy day is the Lenten week. Some go to their hometown while others travel out of town or country. Some have a staycation at home.

This is a long overdue post but I want to share the highlights of our Holy Week.

We attended the Palm Sunday mass in a nearby church – Sto. Nino Parish Church of Meycauayan, Bulacan.

“Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest! ” #palmsunday2018 #blessed #sunday #lentenseason #lentenweek

Since we still have to work until Wednesday, we opted to travel to Nueva Ecija on Thursday early morning. For us to avoid the traffic rush.

We planned to go to the Basilica Minor of Manaoag, Pangasinan. Pero dahil pagod, we canceled at nagpahinga na lang sa bahay.

Friday, we spend the day at home and have lunch at BIL's place.

Saturday, we finally decided to push our plan to Pangasinan and attended the mass in Manaoag. We arrived the place just in time with the first mass of the day at 6 am.

There is no homily only readings from the bible. It was very solemn since the passages were put in hymns. 

Sunday, the last day of a long-week vacation and para masulit, we just stayed at home.

Before the day ends, we dropped at one of the most visited areas in our alma mater – the Sunflower plantation.

It is not where you spent the Holy days but it is how you remember Christ sacrificing himself.

By the way, here are other photos framed during the week-long vacation.

How did you spend your Holydays?

4 Important Parenting Tips to Implement

Tweet

It is well-known that giving birth to a child is not a tough task. The whole deal turns tough when it comes to bringing up your child. This is because a lot of efforts, commitments and sacrifices will be required to ensure that your children grow in the best way and with outstanding moral values. Needless to say, the behavior and character of a child is a clear reflection of their parents.

To begin with, parenting is something that has to be done using a defined criterion. This means that some parenting skills will be required. If you feel that you lack the skills, it is always a great idea to consult a professional or any other person who is more enlightened on parenting matters.

However, there are some fundamental strategies that any parent must use in raising their children.  Here are tips and strategies to use as your fundamental parenting aid:

Do Not Be a Friend to Your Child

A lot of parents tend to misinterpret this advice. It is important to note that you are not supposed to become your child's enemy simply because 'friendship' in parenting is ruled out. There is a way you can live with your child as a friend and at the same time watch their moves and rebuke every wrong act they do. Friendship with your child should only be within moral values and not beyond.

Drop Gender Biases

The problem with most parents is that they consider themselves the mother or the father to their children. Instead of viewing things from this perspective, you should consider yourself a parent and not a mother or father. Once you consider yourself a parent of a certain gender, it means that you will only focus on certain duties which rhyme with your masculinity or femininity. However, being just a parent will help you handle things in all aspects regardless any gender limitations.

Communication Is Essential

It is so unfortunate that some parents operate under very tight schedule and lack time for their children. Consequently, communication between the parent and the child is broken. It is important to note that communication is of paramount essence especially for parents with growing children.

The importance of communicating with your child is to know exactly what they are going through. You will also be in a position to provide the best parent advice verbally. Not to mention, your children will feel the love that you have for them once you find time to interact and communicate with them. Important to note, communication between parents and children is not meant to be serious always. Cracking jokes and playing around with them is also part of the deal.

Never Feel Guilty

A parent is never guilty in the face of their children especially when everything is done for their benefit. The problem is that some parents feel guilty once they punish their children even when everything is justified. They even offer apologies to their children for punishing them. For your information, it is the child who should apologize to his/her parents and not the other way. You have the full right and reason to correct your child for the best.
