Greške koje pravite prilikom tuširanja mogu uticati na vaše zdravlje

ENGLISH TEXT HERE

Dermatolozi otkrivaju najčešće greške prilikom tuširanja za koje možda niste znali da ih pravite. Evo pametnih poteza za čistiju i zdraviju kosu, od autora Alyssa Jung.

Perete kosu trljajući je noktima

Dobar piling kože glave može biti osvežavajući, ali vi zapravo pravite više štete nego koristi ukoliko koristite nokte prilikom pranja kose. “Vaši nokti mogu ogrebati kožu glave, pa čak izazvati i perutanje”, kaže Sandy Johnson, doktor medicine na Johnson Dermatolgiji u Fort Smitu, Arkansas. Umesto toga, koristite prste da biste napravili penu. Takođe je važno da izbegnete agresivno trljanje pramenova kose između ruku, jer je tako možete oštetiti i prouzrokovati pucanje krajeva kose, kaže Sandy.

Vaš sapun ne sadrži nikakvu kremu

“Sapuni koji nisu hidrantni, kao i mnogi antibakterijski, mirišljavi sapuni, mogu da isuše kožu“, kaže Mona Gohara, doktor medicine na Dermatološkoj klinici u Dendburiju, Konektikat. Potražite sapune koji sadrže stearinsku kiselinu ili pogledajte da li ispod imena sapuna stoji naziv “hidrirajući”, kaže dr Gohara. (Ona koristi Dove Beaty sapun).

Predugo se tuširate i koristite previše toplu vodu

Niko od vas ne traži da se tuširate hladnom vodom usred zime, ali ne preterujte sa vrućom vodom. “Tuširanje, pogotovo zimi, zna da bude previše toplo i dugo. Na taj način isušujete kožu i lišavate je prirodnih ulja i masnoće koji omogućavaju koži da zadrži vodu i ostane vlažna“, kaže dr Gohara.

Ne upotrebljavate balsam za kosu pravilno

Većina ljudi se trudi da utrlja balzam za kosu na celu površinu glave. Ali, dr Johnson savetuje da treba rasporediti balzam na celu dužinu kose, od korena do vrha. Uz pomoć češlja sa velkim zupcima rašćešljajte kosu i tako rasporedite balzam po celoj površini. Ukoliko imate dugu kosu nanesite još malo balzama na vrhove kose. Balzam hidrira kožu vaše glave i to pomaže da se spreči svrab i perutanje.

Previše trljate telo tokom kupanja

“Ljudi suviše agresivno koriste lufe i sunđere za kupanje“, kaže dr Gohara. “Lufe su zaista loše za telo zato što su grube i mogu skinuti prirodni površinski sloj koji štiti kožu“. Ona preporučuje pamučnu pelenu; nežno pređite pelenom preko kože uz minimalno trljanje. Dr Johnson preporučuje da se koriste samo ruke prilikom utrljavanja sapuna ili gela za tuširanje, ali savetuje i ljude koji ne mogu bez lufe da ih često menjaju da bi izbegli nagomilavanje bakterija na njima.

Vaš brijač ima previše oštrica

Brijač sa više oštrica možda može da ukloni više dlačica, ali zato može i oštetiti vašu kožu. “Kada koristite takav brijač vi, zapravo, sečete i kožu prilikom brijanja, tako da što više oštrica koristite, pogoršavate stanje svoje kože“, kaže dr Gohara. “Da biste umanjili oštećenje kože idealno je koristiti brijač sa jednom ili dve oštrice.“ Važna je tehnika, takođe. Dr ŽGohara kaže da, prilikom brijanja, treba brijačem ići nadole i od sebe, a ne na gore. Brijanje na gore je nerazumno jer ćete se tako pre poseći. To takođe doprinosi upali folikule dlake i uzrokuje posekotine. Pre nego počnete da se brijete dobro nasapunjajte kožu ili nanesite penu za brijanje kako biste se bezbedno obrijali i imali glatku kožu posle brijanja.  

Ne isperete dovoljno sapun ili šampon

Vrlo je važno dobro isprati sapun sa kože ili šampon i balzam posle pranja kose, kaže dr Johnson; ostaci neuklonjenih sredstava za kupanje mogu dovesti do iritacije kože i začepljenja pora, što može uzrokovati pojavu akni. Sprečite pojavu bubuljica na leđima tako što ćete isprati kosu sa glavom nagunutom na stranu, dopuštajući šamponu i balzamu da odu u odvod a ne niz vaša leđa.

Čekate suviše dugo pre nego što nanesete losion za telo

Najbolje vreme za hidriranje kože je čim upijete vodu peškirom posle kupanja, dok je koža još vlažna. “Nanesite losion na telo dok ste još u zaparenom kupatilu i na taj način povećajte mogućnost da vaša koža upije losion brže,” kaže dr Gohara. “Losion se bolje upija kada je koža malo vlažna.”

DRŽITE INSEKTE I BUBE DALJE OD KUĆE I VAŠIH LJUBIMACA UZ POMOĆ SAMO JEDNOG SASTOJKA!

ENGLISH TEXT HERE

UPOTREBE LIMUNA U DOMAĆINSTVU ZA KOJE MOŽDA NISTE ZNALI

Svi smo upoznati sa prednostima korišćenja limuna jer je bogat vitaminom C i pomaže nam da se borimo protiv virusa i prehlade. Međutim, limun možemo koristiti i za druge stvari i nakon što pročitate neke od ovih predloga verovatno ćete požuriti da kupite kilo ili dva.

v    Držite insekte i bube dalje od kuće

Ako želite da se otarasite bubašvaba ili da držite buve dalje od kuće i vaših ljubimaca, pomešajte sok od 4 limuna (zajedno sa korom) i 2 litra vode i operite podove sa tim. Buve i bubašvabe će pobeći jer mrze miris limuna i vaša kuća će biti čista, a vaš ljubimac zahvalan.

v    Sprečava kamen u bubregu

Redovno konzumiranje limunade ili soka od limuna pomešanog sa vodom, može da poveća proizvodnju mokraćnog citrata, hemikalije u urinu koja sprečava formiranje kristala koji mogu da dovedu do pojave kamena u bubregu.

v    Mentalno zdravlje

Limun može da oslobodi od stresa i depresije. Iscedite jedan ili dva limuna i napravite sebi limunadu uz dodatak kašike meda umesto šećera, ili možete nacediti limun u čašu vode i tako ga piti svakoga dana. Rezultate ćete odmah osetiti.

 v    Operite voće i povrće

Kada kupujete voće i povrće na pijaci nikada ne znate da li su tretirani pesticidima ili ne. Zato koristite limunov sok da se uverite da ste ih očistili od svih nečistoća i pesticida, koje mogu imati. Sipajte malo vode u posudu i iscedite jednu kašiku limunovog soka, pomešajte ga sa vodom i ostavite voće ili povrće da stoji u toj vodi 10min. Nakon toga, operite voće ili povrće temeljno i spremno je za upotrebu u ishrani.

MALE TAJNE BLISTAVO ČISTOG DOMA/KAKO BEZ MNOGO MUKE DA VAŠ DOM ZASIJA?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION HERE

Kad primetite rđu na ringlama, vreme je da nešto preduzmete. Ne očekuje vas veliki posao. Dovoljmo je da očistite  polovinu luka i njom oribate ringle. Rđa će sigurno nestati. 
Slično tome, plamenike na šporetu ćete uspešn očistiti ako ih istrljate polovinom crnog luka.

Da vam frižider ne bi poprimio miris ribe, ostavite je između dva tanjira, posolite i smestite u najhladniji deo u frižideru.

Guma na mašini za veš zahteva negu. Dva puta mesečno je premažite glicerinom. 

TV ekran očistite limunovim sokom i neće se skupljati prašina. 

Radijatori su pravi skupljači prašine. Nekoliko puta godišnje ih operite vodom i deterdžentom a s rebara redovno uklanjajte prašinu. U sezoni grejanja na radijatorima se stvaraju ružni slojevi slepljene prašine koju ćete očistiti limunovim sokom u koji ste namočili dvostruku gazu. Zatim ih isperite flanelskom krpom i toplom vodom. Iza radijatora se stvaraju ružne, tamne mrlje na zidu. Preko uprljanog zida pređite suvom krpom posutom sodom bikarbonom i mrlje će nestati.

Frižider ćete osloboditi neugodnog mirisa ako ga iznutra očistite vodom i sirćetom.

Ako u frižider stavite posudice s vrućim mlekom, očistiće se vazduh, ali mleko višen nije za upotrebu.

U gumeni zaptivač na vratima frižidera povremeno utrljajte talk. Biće elastičniji.

JAJA KOJA SE FARBAJU SAMA!

Sastojci:

- sirće
- plastične čaše
- čačkalice
- gelovi u boji za farbanje jaja (jedan od njih mora biti crn)
- jaja






Priprema:

Napunite plastičnu čašu sa 1/2 ili 3/4 tople vode. Dodajte 1 kašiku sirćeta. Dodajte nekoliko kapi gela u boji (najbolje je umočiti čačkalicu u bočicu i tako nakapati boju u čašu). Pripremite nekoliko plastičnih čaša sa raznim bojama: žuta, zelena, tirkizna, ljubičasta, roze, narandžasta i naravno crna. 

Ostavite jaje da stoji u čaši sa željenom bojom 10 do 15min. u zavisnosti koliko želite da boja bude jaka. Što duže jaje bude u čaši, boja će biti jača. Prebacujte jaje iz jedne čaše sa jednom bojom u drugu čašu sa drugom bojom na taj način stvarajući slojeve boja na jajetu. Neka vam poslednja boja uvek bude crna, tamno plava, ljubičasta ili zelena kako biste dobili ovaj efekat noćnog neba ili galaksije. Ukoliko želite da jaje ima tamniju boju koja podseća na noćno nebo ostavite ga u crnoj boji 30 min.

Napomena: nijedno jaje neće biti isto, svako od njh je jedinstveno i neponovljivo.

Većina pega na jajima se pojavljuje sama u toku procesa sušenja, prvo osušite jednu stranu jajeta a onda ga okrenite na drugu stranu. 
Neke od pega možete dobiti u procesu znojenja jajeta. Ofarbano jaje stavite u frižider na nekoliko minuta pa onda ga izvadite i ponovo stavite na držač. Razlika u temperaturi izaziva znojenje kod jajeta. Kada se to dogodi uklonite višak tečnosti sa jajeta papirnim ubrusom ali ne trljajte jaje već samo blago pritisnite što će dovesti do pojave pega. Ukoliko skinete malo više farbe sa jajeta na ovaj način možete ga ponovo ubaciti u boju, ne možete pogrešiti.  
Eksperimentišite sa bojama i videćete krajnji rezultat!

Da biste dobili ovaj magloviti izgled jajeta obrišite papirnim ubrusom malo boje sa površine jajeta. Nemojte trljajti previše da ne biste skinuli svu boju, samo blago protrljajte a onda ga vratite ponovo u čašu sa bojom.

PUSTITE MAŠTI NA VOLJU!

Kao što sam napisala u prethodnom postu, možete dobit prelepe šare na svojim uskršnjim jajima uz pomoć samo izolir trake i boje za jaja. Evo još nekih ideja kako možete upotrebiti izolir traku.

• Možete iseci pravougaonike izolir trake i nakon jednog farbanja premestiti taj pravougaonik na drugo mesto (kao na slici gore), pa onda ofarbati u drugu ili čak možda u istu boju. 

• A možete i nakon farbanja sa izolir trakom ostatak jajeta ostaviti neofarban (kao na slici iznad)

• Evo kako izgledaju neke šare. Pustite mašti na volju!

8 Ways You’re Probably Showering Wrong

8 Ways You’re Probably Showering Wrong

Dermatologists reveal the most common showering mistakes you might not even know you’re making. Here, smart moves for a cleaner and healthier shower.

By Alyssa Jung

You scrub your scalp with your fingernails

A good scalp scrub can feel refreshing, but you’re actually doing more harm than good if you use your fingernails. “Your fingernails can scratch the scalp and even cause flaking,” says Sandy Johnson, MD, of Johnson Dermatology in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Instead, use your fingertips to work up a lather. It’s also important to avoid aggressively rubbing strands of hair between your hands, which can damage it and cause split ends, she says. 

Your soap doesn't contain any moisturizer

“Bar soap without any moisturizing agent, like many antibacterial deodorant soaps, can really dry out your skin,” says Mona Gohara, MD, of Advanced Dermcare in Danbury, Connecticut. Look for bars with stearic acid in the ingredient list or “moisturizing” advertised below the name, says Dr. Gohara. (She uses Dove White Beauty Bar). 

Your shower is too hot and too long

Nobody’s asking you to take a cold shower in the middle of winter, but don’t take a scalding hot one, either. “Showers, especially in winter, are way too hot and long. This strips your skin of natural oils and lipids that help trap water to keep it moist,” says Dr. Gohara. 

You don't condition your scalp

Most people concentrate on spreading conditioner throughout the body of their hair. But Dr. Johnson advises conditioning the entire length of the hair, from root to tip. The conditioner hydrates the skin of your scalp, which helps prevent itchiness and flaking. 

You scrub your body during washing

“People are too aggressive with loofahs and wash cloths,” says Dr. Gohara. “Loofahs are terrible for scrubbing because they’re rough and can remove the skin's natural protective barrier.” She recommends a cotton baby washcloth; gently glide it over skin with minimal rubbing. Dr. Johnson says to use just your own hand is good enough but urges people who must use a loofah or cloth to switch it out for a clean one regularly to avoid bacteria build-up. 

Your razor has too many blades

 A four- or five-blade razor might give a close shave, but it can also damage your skin. "You actually cut into your skin when you shave, so the more blades you use, the worse off you are," says Dr. Gohara. "To minimize trauma, a simple one- or two-blade razor is ideal." Technique matters too. Dr. Gohara says to make sure to move the razor down and away from you, not up. Shaving up means you’re going against the grain, which makes you likelier to cut yourself. It also inflames the hair follicle, causing razor bumps. Be sure the area is well lubricated with soap or shaving cream for the smoothest and safest shave. 

You don't rinse well enough

It’s important to make sure all soap and hair products are completely rinsed off, Dr. Johnson says; lingering product can lead to skin irritation and clogged pores, which can cause acne. Prevent “bacne” (pimples on your back) by rinsing your hair with your head tilted to the side, allowing the shampoo and conditioner to run right into the drain and not down your back.

You wait to apply lotion

The best time to moisturize is as soon as you finish patting dry when your skin is still damp. “Make use of the ambient heat from the shower and humidity in the bathroom and put on a moisturizer within minutes,” says Dr. Gohara. “Lotion soaks into skin best when it’s a little damp.”

OVERSALTED SOUP - What to do to save it

It happened to each of us at least once if not more - to oversalt the soup. What can be done in that case? 

• 1. If you don`t have enough time to cook another soup use this little trick to save the existing one. Add a raw, peeled potato to the pot. The starch will absorb much of the salt. Discard the potato after 15 to 20 minutes. Serve the soup.

• 2. You can also use another trick. Put 250 g of flour or rice into a clean cloth. Insert the cloth into the boiling soup for a minute or two. Flour or rice will absorb much of the salt and your soup is saved.

SOME USES OF LEMON THAT WILL BLOW YOUR MIND

Serbian translation here

We are all familiar with the benefits of using a lemon as it is rich with vitamin C and helps us fight viruses and cold. However, a lemon has other uses too and after reading some of these suggestions you will probably rush to buy a kilo or two. 

1. Keep insects and roaches away from your house

If you want to get rid of roaches or keep away fleas from your house and your pet mix the juice of 4 lemons (along with the rinds) with 2 liters of water and wash your floors with it. Fleas and roaches will flee because they hate the smell of the lemon and your house will be clean and your pet grateful.

2. Prevents Kidney Stones

Regular consumption of lemonade or lemon juice mixed with water can increase the production of urinary citrate, a chemical in the urine that prevents the formation of crystals that may build up into kidney stones.

3. Mental Health

Lemon can relieve stress and depression. Just squeeze one or two lemons and make yourself a lemonade with a spoon of honey instead of sugar or you can squeeze some lemon into the glass of water and drink it every day. The results will be felt immediately.

4. Wash your Fruit and Vegetables

When you buy fruit and vegetables on the market you never know if they have been treated with pesticides or not. So use lemon juice to make sure you clean them of all the dirt and pesticides they may have. Pour some water into the bowl and squeeze out one tablespoon of lemon juice, mix it with water and leave your fruit or vegetables into the water for 10 min. Wash them thoroughly and they are ready to be eaten.
