Illuminatural 6i: Why Do We Get Skin Blemishes? One of the paradoxes of life is that beauty often has a limited shelf life. When we're young, skin is thick and plump. It's usually free of blemishes and it radiates health and fertility. Then it ages. Once young skin develops wrinkles, with sun damage and visible aging. Skin gets older. And notably, we develop blemishes, and scars we'd like to hide. Skin blemishes are the result of excessive melanin levels. Melanin is the dark skin pigment, and hyperpigmentation is when the skin cells that produce this dark pigment shift into overdrive, with the development of: moles age spots blotchy skin sun damage uneven complexion melasma freckles Skin blemishes may also appear as acne scars, birth marks or other signs that skin has been damaged in some form. Though such blemishes are primarily cosmetic, sun damage may elevate risk of skin cancer. Hyperpigmentation Melanin occurs in all humans and determines skin and hair...

Beating Male Depression Despite what you may have heard, depression affects men as profoundly as it does women. Yes, we've all heard the jokes about the male mid-life crisis and the questions of self-identity that go with it. But there's a darker side to depression in men. Over a million people take their lives world-wide each year. American men are three to four times more likely to commit suicide than women. In fact, American men between 20 and 24 have a suicide rate seven times higher than women in the same age bracket. While not all depressed men are going to commit suicide, symptoms of depression affect men's lives and can have a profound impact on their careers, health and their loved ones. Symptoms of depression include feelings of hopelessness, guilt or helplessness, low mood and an inability to feel pleasure, lack of energy and insomnia. Compounding the problem is the fact that men can find it difficult to reach out and ask for help with depression. ...

FAQs About Argan Oil What is argan oil? Argan oil is an oil extracted from the kernels of the argan tree. The oil is highly valued for its many cosmetic, therapeutic and medicinal properties. Among other ailments, argan oil is an effective treatment for dry skin, psoriasis, eczema, wrinkles, stretch marks and acne. One of the hottest sellers in the natural skin care industry, argan oil is particularly gentle on the skin, and for this reason, is recommended for consumers with naturally dry skin and/or sensitivities to common skin care products. Where does argan oil come from? Argan oil comes from a 10,000 square mile UNESCO-protected biosphere in southwestern Morocco, and can only be extracted from trees grown in this area.

Getting sick shows us how fragile we are; how fleeting life is. One bout of high blood pressure, pneumonia or even the measles can take you out. It can make you pray like you've never prayed before. And it can make you look at things through a different lens. Funny how trauma causes one to be introspective and spiritual. However, at the root of a medical event is fear at its fundamental best.  We are this complex human machine which is fragile and subject to break down at any given moment. The body can completely shut down leaving your loved ones and friends to funeralize you. Or it can break down in parts giving you a chance o repair what's weak or the alternative, face the eternal music.  Like a car that needs brakes or a motor, your body can become worn and tired from abuse and misuse and it responds in kind. Doctors may try to fix it or maybe they just use sick people for lab experiments? They try this medicine, run that test, just to see what works, o...

They've been tearing us apart from our men folk since they first brought us here on those slave ships.  We didn't ask to be brought here, as a matter of fact we were kidnapped. Maybe because we don't pick cotton from them anymore, and they can't make us slaves again, they don't need us anymore. Like we don't matter. Yet they've found other ways to enslave us.  Poverty, incarceration, homelessness, subpar or non-existent means to education are some of the ways they tighten the ropes around our necks. They shoot and kill us like stray dogs, all while denying our Civil Rights. No one understands how the sins of 400 years still haunts the black folks of today. We don't even know why we wake up feeling great despair, anger or just out of place. We don't have a chance at building a family when our men are jailed for 30 or 39 years based on a lie. Or murdered before they become men thus destroying another branch on the ancestral tree.  Everyon...
