Varicocele (varicose vein on male organ), premature ejaculation, enlargement of prostate glands are just some of male embarrassing problems that could be given a relief by the prostate massage I am talking about. Nerve massage is a harmless method, you just need to massage the nerves that is connected to the sex glands.

To bring relief to a prostate problem, you need to massage the inner wrist above the palm of each hand or the cord above the heel and just below the inner ankle on each foot.

Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles Bonding

Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Let us make our mothers feel special today, let us help them look good and feel good by our “Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles bonding.” No, we do not need to spend money to erase those fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles. All you need to spend is time and effort for your mother. If your aim is to help her get rid of fine lines and, or prevent wrinkles, better make your “Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles bonding” at least once a week and, help her correct her daily lifestyle that triggers premature wrinkle formation.

Let us understand first what causes wrinkles. Having wrinkles is part of aging process; however, premature wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet exist due to some factors like sun damage; harmful elements in alcohol and tobacco smoking; lack of water intake; wrong choice of food leading to depletion of important elements for a healthy skin; squinting while smoking or under the sun and other facial muscle movements or contraction like in raising the eyebrows, concentrating and smiling; and rapid weight loss.

What you will do today in our “Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles bonding” to make your mother look good and feel good? Just follow these simple wrinkles home remedy steps:

  1. Let you mother take a bath or wash her face to freshen up for your bonding. Tell her not to apply any beauty product on her face, neck and chest after bathing.
  2. While she is taking a bath, prepare the things you will need. Cotton balls, facial tissue, face towels, Castor oil, fresh pineapple cores or crushed apple, 3-4 tablespoons of crushed, juicy, fresh, ripe papaya, clean lukewarm water in a small basin, and a relaxing music as background for your bonding.
  3. Using cotton, thinly apply Castor oil on her face, concentrating more on wrinkle prone areas: on the forehead, in between eyebrows, bridge of  her nose, outer corners of the eyes, nasolabial folds, around the mouth, neck and chest.
  4. While you are applying the Castor oil tell her how happy you are that she is your mother.
  5. Let the Castor oil stay on her skin for at least 30 minutes while letting your mother think of the funny things that happened to her.
  6. Rinse it with dipped clean cotton ball on lukewarm water and pat dry using facial tissues.
  7. Gently massage your mother‘s chest, neck and face with fresh pineapple core.  An enzyme from pineapple dissolves her dead skin cells, revealing her fresh and healthy skin while apple is rich in natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHA): tartaric and malic acid that is good for the skin.
  8. After a gentle, brief massage, apply the crushed papaya.  Tell her that papaya is rich in vitamins A, B, C and E and antioxidants that is good for the skin.
  9. Let the papaya stay on her skin for at least 30 minutes while letting her think of all the blessings she received in life.
  10. Rinse it with dipped clean cotton ball on lukewarm water, then with a clean tap water. Pat dry using facial tissues.

Note:

  • You may omit pineapple or apple in your facial massage if it is not available, your own fingers is fine.
  • You may use thinly-sliced cucumber, egg white, fresh grapes or mashed fresh potato (10-15 minutes only for fresh potato).

“Operation Erase Fine Lines and Wrinkles bonding” is a great relaxing moment for your mom physically and mentally. Definitely, she will love it! A perfect gift for Mother’s Day.

To all the moms, Happy Mother’s Day!

Now that we knew what triggers premature wrinkle formation let us now proceed to how to help your mother get rid of fine lines and, or prevent premature wrinkles through her daily diet and healthy lifestyle. Let us talk first about sun exposure because it is the major culprit in premature wrinkle formation. Direct exposure to sunlight before eight o’clock in the morning or past four o’clock in the afternoon for 30 minutes is good for her health. However, too much exposure to sunlight, especially between 10 A.M. to 4 P.M., causes not just premature wrinkles and signs of aging but permanent damage to her skin and that includes skin cancer. One more thing, going out under the sun without sunglasses will cause her to squint, squinting triggers to form eye wrinkles or crow’s feet so better remind her to always protect her eyes with sunglasses and wear sunscreen and protective clothing when she is out in the sun.

Generally, tobacco smoking, alcohol intake and drugs are harmful to our total health not just to the skin. So, if you want to help your mother not just to get rid of fine lines and, or prevent premature wrinkles but for her to be healthy, lead her away from those harmful elements. Be a good model to your mother, instead of bonding with an alcoholic or soda drinks, why not lead her to water therapy and have an exercise bonding?

Encourage her to eat nutritious foods and lessen her fatty meals and processed food intake. Diet plays a big role not just to get rid of fine lines and, or prevent premature wrinkles but to her overall health. Eating lots of various fruits and vegetables everyday, especially those that are rich in antioxidants is good for her.

Do not forget to check the soap and other beauty products she is using. Harsh products may cause premature wrinkles.
