Excess water retention may lead to acne


When a buildup of water in the spaces between cells and tissues occurs, it is known as water retention. Water may begin to leak into the surrounding tissues when excess pressure is put on the blood vessels. There are various factors, which lead to water retention. One of the biggest causes is actually insufficient water intake. When your body is deprived of adequate amount of water, it starts storing water in the tissues. If you replenish your body with water regularly, it will stop storing water for survival.

Diet plays an important role in retention of water. Among all other causes that are food related, salt is a major one.

Excess of processed salt in the body causes water to come out of the cells and dilute the salt. You should drink a lot of fresh water in order to remove this salt. Excess salt can be flushed out of your kidneys and liver. Other liquids and foods such as sugar and alcohol cause retention by putting an extra load on your kidneys and slow down the function of the kidneys. Water retention leads to many kidney diseases as well.

Acne is caused by water retention as the skin pores are blocked and the bacteria present in the pores mixes with oil and other toxins. There are various types of acne treatments available on the market, out of only a few are effective. Skin doctors Zit Zapper helps eliminate acne fast.

Smooth, silky and hair free skin with Silk'n SensEpil – Product review


I have always been a sucker for pain free removal of hair and that too whose affects last for a long time. For this reason, I have used a number of products, some of them good and others that let's just say weren't up to the mark. So, when I heard about the new new home hair removal system I wasn't exactly over the moon. I wanted to reserve my judgment before I actually used it.

What is the Silk'n SensEpil?

This device uses intense pulsed light technology to help remove unwanted hair from your body. This is why, it's also called IPL hair removal. It is a clinically proven technology and has been used by salons across the world as a part of their hair removal arsenal. Now, the Silk'n SensEpil has brought this technology to your home. It works by emitting 750 pulses of light, which is absorbed by the melanin on the hair. This in turn, damages the hair follicle and it can no longer produce new hair.

What are the benefits?

When I used this for the first time I was actually worried whether I can use it easily and whether its convenient. But the “worry” disappeared as soon as I used it for the first time. Its design is such that you can remove unwanted hair from any part of your body and it's easily operable. It also proved my initial skeptical reaction about its efficiency wrong, as it is really effective. If you are anything like me (can't stand pain and mess), you won't have to go far looking for options.

Should I go for it?

There are 3 reasons you can go for it – 1) it's not messy and very easy to use, 2) it's claim of permanent hair removal is well founded and approved by the FDA and 3) it's absolutely painless. But there is also one reason why you shouldn't go for it and that's because it takes two weeks for your hair to fall out after treatment. People looking for instant results won't be happy with this.
