What is Shiatsu?

SHIATSU (sh-äts) - in Japanese means finger pressure and is a hands-on therapy developed from the Ancient Japanese Arts of Massage originating 4,000 years ago.

Young skin tips

Your skin mirrors your lifestyle.

It reflects what you eat, drink or do.

So invest on your skin - keep it young with these simple lifestyle pointers.

Drink Plenty of Water - This aids in the elimination of wastes and toxins from the skin.
Adults need 1 to 1.5 liters of water a day.

Sleep - Get enough of it.
Skin renewal occurrence increases when you sleep. Tiredness deprives skin of the energy needed to recover and regenerate.

Frowning causes worry lines and constant stress emits negative energy to the skin.
For stress-relief, treat yourself to yoga classes, massages, or even a leisurely spa session.
For a quick fix, try lying down face up, close your eyes, and feel the muscles in your face relax. Do this for 60 seconds every time you feel the tension in your facial muscles.

Acne Myths

1. Sun is great for acne

Sun may temporarily mask your acne, tighten up pores, or dry up the oil glands.
However, the sun will also damage your follicular walls and those lesions will trigger an inflammatory response that shows off as acne breakouts that may not surface for 3-4 weeks after your sun exposure.

2. Washing your face more often will help clear up acne

Facial blemishes are not caused by dirt. Contrary to what you may have seen in commercials, pores do not get blocked from the top down, except by certain cosmetics.
Rather, an entire pore collapses from deep within the skin, starting acne formation.
Frequent washing does nothing to prevent this.
Over-washing is actually irritating, and excess irritation can worsen acne.
A washcloth can aggravate this situation further.
Use bare hands to wash and only wash twice a day.
