Whether or not crying is good for your skin is a frequently asked question, but the answer isn’t cut and dried. That being said, there are a few different pros and cons to consider, as well as post-cry skin care tips you might want to have on hand. Take stress breakouts, for example: “Our skin is both an immediate stress perceiver as well as a target of the stress responses,” board-certified dermatologist Keira Barr, M....
The good news is, once you understand your own, you can take steps to balance it. Here’s what you need to know about karmic debt, according to experts. Clairvoyant and acupuncturist Deganit Nuur adds that “when you haven’t mastered a karmic lesson, it’ll repeat itself over and over again until you master it.” That said, both she and Kaehart add that karmic debt doesn’t need to mean the end of the world....
After all, we’ve become accustomed to doing seemingly everything from home: working, ordering food, teaching, and scheduling telehealth visits. So it’s no surprise performing at-home medical testing from the comfort of our kitchen counters feels pretty, well, normal—and experts predict the at-home testing market will be worth more than 25 billion by 2025. This option to self-administer a lab test, find out the results, and then go to a health care provider for treatment is changing trends in health care....
If these winged creatures seem to be following you lately, here’s what they could be trying to tell you, according to spiritual experts. As Dawn Baumann Brunke, author of the book Animal Teachings, tells mbg, “Most moths navigate by moonlight and are at home in the dark. For this reason, many cultures have associated moths with the foreshadowing of death.” In Ancient Greece, for example, moths and butterflies were linked with souls of the dead....
I thought I was adapting pretty well to “the new normal,” working from home, spending more time outside, and taking my social distancing seriously. My stress level could most accurately be described as occasionally irritated and socially frustrated, but my skin was telling a more dramatic story. I started to react to my products, burn easily in the sun, and overheat and flush quickly outside. After a few weeks of this heightened sensitivity, I resolved to slow down and treat my skin, and myself, a little more delicately....
For starters, the mixtures themselves are completely different. Sugaring paste is made from 100% natural ingredients—sugar, lemon, and water. The gloop is able to penetrate the hair follicle and adhere to individual hairs before removing them at the root. Wax, on the other hand, is often a mixture of beeswax, rosin, and oil—but beware of synthetic versions, which can include additives and paraffin, a wax derived from petroleum (which, as we know, is not too environmentally friendly)....
That’s because our swimmers need to repel water, so they can’t be made from cotton, hemp, or any other plant-based fabric that will absorb moisture (though a few small designers are now experimenting with crochet suits made from natural yarns). Instead, swimsuits are often made from nylon (also known as polyamide) or polyester—two of the worst fabrics for the environment due to the amount of water, chemicals, and energy that goes into them and the amount of time they take to biodegrade....
