Treatment for Dry Skin

There are various reasons that cause dry skin like sun, windburn, harsh soaps and cosmetics, aging or even diet and nutrition also play a role in affecting your skin and causing dryness.

Change in diet and nutrition can improve dry skin. Increasing the intake of water, use of flax seed oil, and Omega 3 oil derived from fish is also good for the skin. Skin creams and cosmetics with Vitamin E as an ingredient also help strengthening the skin and remove dryness all over the body. Check the ingredients of products and make sure they are gentle and natural and not tested on animals. Some acne treatment and anti aging creams can also dryness of skin. Check for ingredients that can cause skin allergies and avoid products that have them.

The low humidity during winter can cause dry skin and can make eczema to flare up. Extreme dry skin conditions during winter need regular treatment with good oil based moisturizers. With a closed atmosphere and the heaters turned on indoors the air inside becomes very dry. Use a humidifier to have moisture in the air. To keep skin protected from harsh elements outdoors use sunscreen on the exposed parts of your body, as you would need this in winter too because of the sun’s reflective rays.

Hair Extensions as Horror Movie?

Never thought I’d see this, but I suppose I’m not surprised! A new Japanese Sci-fi movie has hair extensions at the center of its twisted plot. Story follows two sets of characters who each have contact with the hair - one who knows where it comes from, and the other ignorant of its source.

Here’s the synopsis:

HAIR EXTENSIONS (Ekusute a.k.a. EXTE: HAIR EXTENSIONS, 2007)
35mm/108 min./Color/1:85.1 Flat/Japanese language, English subtitles/Unrated
Japanese customs agents discover a huge amount of human hair along with the bald corpse of a young girl. The dead girl’s hair begins to grow, which arouses the curiosity of Yamazaki (Ren Osugi of AUDITION, CURE, and ZEBRAMAN), a mortuary employee with a hair fetish. Now a mad hair-peddler with an endless stock of locks, Yamazaki hocks his wares to salons to be used for hair extensions.

Meanwhile, Yuko (Chiaki Kuriyama of KILL BILL Vol. 1 and BATTLE ROYALE), an up-and-coming hair stylist at the Gilles De Rais hair salon, is entrusted with the care of her timid and frightened niece Mami (Miku Sato) whose body bares the signs of abuse. It’s not long before death surrounds them and their extension-wearing clientele. The hair seems to have a life of its own, along with lethal and vengeful intentions. Now Yuko and Mami must untangle the mystery before more deaths occur. Directed by Sion Sono (SUICIDE CLUB), HAIR EXTENSIONS will make your hair stand on end!

EXTE: Hair Extensions will be showing at select theaters in cool cities crazy enough to showcase such a nutty flick! Check out the film’s website (in Japanese) here: http://www.exte-movie.jp/
