Skin Cancer & Meat
In addition to the common known preventions to Skin Cancer like staying out of the sun during the peak hours, and using sunscreen and protective clothing, the eating habits (diet) can reduce risk of skin cancer.
A diet rich in meat and fat increases the risk of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin as compared to a diet rich in vegetables and fruit
Researchers from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research, Brisbane found that people who have a history of skin cancer, can benefit by avoiding fatty foods, overly processed foods, and foods with high amounts of sugar. The association with green leafy vegetables mostly explained this protective effect. No association was seen between dietary patterns and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, another common form of skin cancer.

Fungus to Fight Ageing Skin?
It might seem counterintuitive to use fungus to improve your skin, but recent research has showed that Chinese mushrooms such as shitake and Matsutake can fight your skin’s ageing process, brightening your skin tone and reducing redness and inflammation.
Various mushroom combinations are starting to show up in face serums, restorative creams, and anti-puffiness eye creams. Oftentimes the mushrooms (including ones with lovely names like Hypsizygus ulmarius) are blended with other beautiful-sounding ingredients like algae and argan nut oil. Hey, if it sounds that bad, it’s got to be good for you, right?
Even if mushrooms do have anti-inflammatory properties, how can that help the skin of your face? You may not realize it, but many imperfections of the skin, including pigmentation, redness, puffiness, and dryness, can all be caused by mini-inflammations. When the inflammation is removed, your facial skin looks brighter, healthier, and more vibrant.
Personally, I love mushrooms, and I am glad to find that they have more benefits to my health. It seems a bit of a waste to let these wonderful-tasting fungi be used in creams and ointments, but anything that makes them more popular is just fine in my book.

Freckles - how to make them less visible
Some people like freckles and some don’t, but I can tell you for sure that most people who have them really hate them. Freckles appear mostly during summer but if you want to have a perfect skin and don’t want to wait for autumn, there are some remedies for those nasty freckles.
As I said, freckles appear during summer and sun exposure so avoid sun exposure and your body won’t produce melanin. But you won’t enjoy the summer if you avoid sun exposure so you can take chemical peeling and facial scrub into consideration.
Don’t exaggerate with chemical peeling; it can do more harm than good in some cases. The best solution is to try natural methods like: cleaning your skin with yogurt or rubbing your face with lemon juice. Also beauty masks which contain peaches, strawberries and cucumber help greatly if applied in the same day your freckles appear.

Let’s talk about stretch marks
Stretch marks are a major problem these days and women who don’t have them are very lucky, almost 90% of the women who gave birth, 70% of the teenagers and 40% of the athletes have stretch marks. They appear when the skin loses its elasticity or it’s stretched a lot, for example when gaining weight or when your body lacks vitamins.
You need a lot of patience if you decide to cure your stretch marks because it takes a long time for the skin to recover and in many cases some stretch marks remain forever.
In some cases the stretch marks are no longer visible after a while but it depends on your diet and the way you treat your skin. Lotions which contain vitamin E and olive oil help the skin recover faster and can be a helpful ally but it is better to start treating stretch marks right after you discovered them. If many years pass they become scars and can no longer be treated without cosmetic surgery.
So if you want to treat your stretch marks chose olive oil, eat more vitamins and also apply a vitamin lotion every day and if they don’t disappear at least your skin will become softer.
Patience is the key.

Exercises for wrinkles
Preventing wrinkles was never easier! Just make a few exercises for 5 minutes everyday and you will see results but if you want amazing results you must have a proper diet and enough sleep.
Exercises must be done every morning before you apply makeup. They will give you a great look for the whole day. Every night remove your makeup with makeup remover (avoid soap, it dries your face) and use a hydrating moisturizer. Once a week apply a nourishing lotion. During the day pronounce 10 times each of the letters: A, O and X to prevent wrinkles around your mouth.
Wrinkles on your forehead- hold your head straight up. Raise your arms. Put both hands on your head with thumbs behind your head and others fingers in front. Massage your forehead going with your fingers to the back of the head. Repeat this three times a week and you can expect some results in a month.
Chin - try to open your mouth while you stop it with your hand. Hold the pressure for 5 seconds and do it again.
Neck- put your right arm behind your head and your palm on the left side of the head. Now try to move your arm while resisting with your head. Repeat it with the left arm.
These exercises will help you fortify your muscles, help you get rid of your wrinkles and prevent new ones. If you do them regularly, you will see results in about one or two months.
