Suntans & Sunburns

Sunburns and Suntans
Sun tanning in sun hat and sunglasses.

Hey Earth’s Enrichers 

Suntans v. Sunburns.  As we all know very well, the sun is a power tool and a reason for vacation. The sun, family, fun, ocean—all blissful motivations for going to the beach—but our point is that with the sun and the beach comes sand, tans and sunburns!

So how do you know you’re prepared for a tan and how do you know when your tan becomes sunburn. The first thing to take into consideration is the fairness of your skin—lighter skin burns more easily. So in addition to the general tips we give you, take extra precautions if you’re a member of the lighter complexion.

With that being said, what is a suntan? A suntan is a browning of skin caused by exposure to the sun. This is similar to the cooking of a rotisserie chicken, so if you leave the chicken in there too long, it burns. The really cool nerdy part of a suntan is basically the stimulation of melanocytes from UV radiation, which encourages your skin to produce more melanin and darkens pigment.

Isn’t it neat how your skin reacts to the environment? We think it’s pretty extraordinary—a tan done right can produce beautifully golden skin and wonderful result. The best thing to do at that point is to keep it moisturized and clean.

Now, without proper protection and staying in the rotisserie oven too long, a sunburn could be produced. A sunburn occurs when there is a delayed reaction from UV B-erythema, which is caused by an increase in blood flow. The burn usually shows itself in at least 4 hours and peaks between 8 to 24 hours. In other words, in some cases the skin doesn’t take well to the UV and doesn’t absorb it properly. It requires extra protection to not burn in a lot of sun.  On the other hand, if your skin isn’t regularly exposed to the sun, it weakens the skin’s ability to handle the sun. Therefore, completely hiding your skin from the sun isn’t good for health either.  Your body needs vitamin D that the sun provides. So try to find a health balance.

Symptoms of Sunburns:

  1. Redness of skin.
  2. Skin may radiate heat and feel hot to touch.
  3. Pain or tenderness.
  4. Blistering and peeling skin.
  5. Sunburned eyes may feel painful or gritty.
  6. Headache, fever and fatigue if sunburn covers a large area.
  7. In severe cases, faintness, nausea, and vomiting.

The EE 411: Prevention and Best Suntan Practices

Prevention-

  • Sunscreen/sun block
  • Sun hats and caps
  • Umbrellas and beach umbrellas
  • Aloe Vera (helps soothe pain and redness)
  • Find shade
  • Try to avoid prolonged exposure to direct the sun between 10am and 4pm when it’s at its strongest.
  • Sunglasses
  • Loosely fitting clothing

Best Suntan Practices:

  • Always apply suntan or sunblock according to the directions provided. If it says last for 80 minutes and you’re going to be in the sun for 160 minutes, please reapply after the first 80 mins. It is advisable to look after your skin’s safety.
  • Putting up an umbrella on a beach is practically as fashionable as wearing a hat and it’s healthy too. Even use it while walking like if you forgot your sunscreen, you may look silly but your skin will be protected.
  • Wearing sunglasses helps protects your eyes from the sun because they can be damaged by the sun too.
  • Avoid prolonged direct exposure to the sun during the hottest parts of the day which is between 10 am and 4 pm. Go out early mornings and evenings, if you can’t take extra precaution for your type of skin.
  • If burned, do not exfoliate or pick at your skin—it will come off on its own. Gently cleanse and moisturize. If especially painful, try aloe vera to help cool your sunburns.

Cinnamon Sensation

Cinnamon

CinnamonHey Earth’s Enrichers 

The winter holidays are drawing near along with the wonderful decadence of pumpkin spice and, you guessed it, cinnamon! It’s like the scent of energy and nostalgia. Not only does it make a great aroma but it’s used to spice up the best desserts– apple pie, pumpkin pie, hot chocolate– you get the picture, right? But it’s more than just a fine scent and magical taste, it is also a spice that is good for your skin!

Take it from us, we know how it sounds when we say that a spice is good for your skin. We can hear you now, “I’m not a dessert!” But Cinnamon-bun, grated or in essential oils, cinnamon can bring out the best in your skin and banish the worst. For instance, cinnamon can dry acne and relieve an itchy scalp. No lie!

This is totally legit– cinnamon can treat eczema, exfoliate, and cleanse the scalp. Not bad for a spice that’s known for the holidays and apple pie. Following the premise of most spices, cinnamon is utilized to prevent bacteria from growing on food, so naturally it would be pretty good at being an antiseptic for your skin.

For those of you who are not so fond of cinnamon, we hoped we changed your mind. Cinnamon can exfoliate, alleviate, soften, and cleanse your skin– it seems like a win/win, if you ask us. As always, remember, know your skin. If you’re allergic to cinnamon, then perhaps try other natural means of keeping your skin healthy. If you don’t know if you’re allergic, please consult a professional– doing your own research reaps the best results.

The EE 411: Cinnamon – Chai La Tea

Since we’ve boosted cinnamon’s self-esteem, we bet you can see why we had to use it in our Chai La Tea bar soap. Cinnamon can bring out the best in your skin. Not to mention, cinnamon is one of the key ingredients used to make a better skin care product that helps protect and look after your skin! While you bathe with our Chai La Tea soap, take comfort in knowing that this bar is working to relieve your body of dead skin and is fighting bacteria.

Oh, and we almost forgot about our Coconut Chai lip balm! Here’s a really special perk about cinnamon– it can make your skin lush and plump. Need we say more?

Once we heard of the amazing properties of ABS, we decide it was high time to make an EE specialty for our Earth’s Enrichers. How do you like that? The great thing about African Black Soap is that it can be used on the face and the body—it is good for removing impurities from the skin.

ABS can be made with different types of ingredients, so we have given it the EE touch! What sets our African Black Soap apart from others is that ours has Tea Tree oil in it which is good at clearing up various skin infections such as acne.  Also, when using our African Black Soap, it will not dry out your skin while deeply cleansing it. Check out it out:

Why are Cocoa Pods (Beans) are cool for your skin?
– Heals wounds and clears bacteria from the skin
– Protect the skin from UV damage like roughness and redness
– Enhances elasticity and hydration

How is Plantain Skin Super?
– Soothes bug bits and stings
– Heals scrapes and cuts
– Relieves eczema and sunburn
– Reduces chances of scarring

Why is Tea Tree Oil omnipotent in skin care?
– Helps prevent infections
– Adds a protective covering to the skin
– Acts as a strong antibacterial that stunts fungus growth

Ha, we figure that would make you happy. Remember, as we always say, make sure you know your skin and research before you try something new. This helps you avoid any unnecessary discomfort when you are trying to do what’s best for you. Also, our fellow EEers stay cool out there—it’s warm! ^-^

The EE 411: African Black Soap

Have you ever heard of African Black Soap? How about Anago Soap, or Ose Dudu, or Alata Simena? These are all basically the same concepts with varying ingredients. It is a soap with origins hailing from Africa in countries like Ghana. The soap’s signature is its black hue, and some recipes contain natural ingredients like palm ash, cocoa pods, shea butter, tamarind extract, plantain, palm leaves, etc.

Its growing popularity is not only due to its earthly ingredients, but its practical health benefits. It is famous for its soothing of eczema, razor bumps, blemishes, and dark spots. It can be used on your body or hair. It can also be used to relieve skin rashes, dry skin, body odors, or scalp irritation. Depending on the way it’s made, African Black Soap can be packed with Iron, Vitamin A & E, UV protection. We encourage you to do research on African Black Soap because it is not always made with the same ingredients; that way, you can see what you think will work best for you.

Health and Living – The Many Phases of Migraines

 

Migraine and headache people - Doctor stressed. Woman Nurse / doHey Earth’s Enrichers 

Migraines are a common problem for many individuals and can become major hindrances in everyday tasks. One of the first questions is: what is the difference between a normal headache and a migraine.

Headaches tend to be rather easy to get rid of and can be dealt with minor pain meds or reduction of stress.  Migraines, on the other, are a lot more difficult to get rid of as the pain becomes more severe. The best way to stop a migraine is to catch it before it becomes too severe, but how do you know when you have a migraine? Once you get it, how can you stop it?

Migraines can come with the following symptoms:

  • Blurred vision
  • Loss of appetite
  • Nausea or vomiting , abdominal pain or upset stomach
  • Paleness
  • Sensitivity to light, noises
  • Sensitivity to odor or scents
  • Dizziness
  • Seeing spots or slight distortions
  • Fatigue
  • Fever

A lot of the symptoms vary depending on the individual; not all people with migraines will have light sensitivity or a fever. It’s best if you feel these symptoms coming about to get yourself in a safe place and relax to determine the severity of the oncoming migraine.

Dealing with a migraine can come in many fashions. Some individuals can rest and sleep off the pain. This option may not be plausible for individuals who are always on the go and can’t just stop to rest. There are over the counter pain relievers that are known to help relieve the pain. If they do not work or if you are unsure, it is best to see your doctor or a professional who can give you the best advice on how to deal with the pain.

If you have never experienced a migraine before and suddenly find yourself in a predicament where you can’t relieve the pain, try to pace your breathing. Whatever you do, do not cry because you will put unnecessary tension in the area of the pain and cause it to worsen. Find a friend, family member or coworker to drive you to a hospital or a care facility. It is best to get yourself to a place where professionals can help you ease the pain safely with your health in mind.

The EE 411: The Four Phases

There are four phases to a migraine that help you identify what it is and when it is coming.

The first phase is Prodrome. This can happen one to two days before a migraine and tends to cause small changes in behavior or habits. This can include cravings for certain foods, constipation, depression, hyperactivity, irritability, uncontrollable yawning, and neck stiffness.

The second phase is called Aura. This can happen either before or during a migraine. This can include visual phenomenon (seeing spots, bright spots, or varying shapes), vision loss, pins and needle sensations in the arms and legs, or loss of speech/language function (aphasia). 

The third phase is called Attack and this is when the migraine sets in. This can include pain on one or both sides of the head, painful throbbing or pulsating, sensitivity to light and sound or smells, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, and light headedness.

The fourth phase is called the Postdrome and it occurs after the migraine is over. It is associated with extreme exhaustion or feeling drained. Sometimes people feel mild euphoria.

We hope this information helps you and that it has informed you of the severity of migraines. They are not meant to be taken lightly and anyone who has them should be considered with the utmost care. Please continue to do more research on your own time and remember to do what is best for your body.

Living Health – Foods that Boost Your Energy

 

Living Healthy - Foods that Boost Your EnergyHey Earth’s Enrichers 

Last week we talked about caffeine and how too much could possibly be detrimental to your health. Since we alerted you about caffeine risks, we thought we should give you some other options and means to boost your energy throughout the day. So, just for trivia, what is the most natural way to boost energy?

The answer: Eat! The body usually builds energy from sustenance. Carbohydrates help produce fuel for your body. Eating the right things throughout the day can help your body maintain energy. Perhaps, you may not have to turn to caffeine if you find out what foods provide you with the appropriate amount of energy.

Carbohydrates are meant to be burned off since one of their major purposes is to fuel your body. This is an important aspect to keep in mind when you are eating foods that contain them. It may be counterproductive to overeat the needed amount just as it is counterproductive to under eat. Make sure you don’t skip meals and snack regularly. Not eating properly is a perfect way to zap energy and cause you to turn to not-so-healthy immediate options.

Foods, drinks, or snacks with a lot of sugar will give you a rapid fire of energy, but only for a moment. This can also result in negative health effects and crashing. Trust us, there is nothing worse than a sugar crash when you need to keep moving.

Remember, there are plenty of opportunities throughout the day to sneak in nutrition. It is up to you to determine which of those are the best opportunities. When you are working at your desk starting to feel tired and your stomach growls– pull out an apple or trail mix. It will help keep you stimulated throughout the day.

The EE 411: Foods that Boost Your Energy

To keep you on your toes at work and give you a bit of variety, here are some selections that can help keep you energized throughout the day:

  • Eggs- consist of proteins that help repair your body’s energy after sleeping and boosts you for the day.
  • Brown Rice- has proteins and carbs that help produce energy
  • Fruits- natural sugars, glucose, that your body is better at metabolizing

o   Apples- fiber! A nice sweet way to keep your energy alive without crashing.

o   Oranges- with vitamin C, folate, potassium, fiber, this fruit will give you ongoing doses of energy with each orangy little piece.

o   Bananas- fiber, glucose, fructose, etc. that will help boost energy.

o   Blueberries- consist of energy improving carbs, plus they taste good.

  • Greek Yogurt- why not?!
  • Nuts
  • Beans- a great source of proteins and carbs.
  • Oats- fiber, reduce the risk of CVD.
  • Fish- fatty acids, B6 vitamins, riboflavin, etc. It can lower cholesterol and reduces CVD. 
  • Sweet Potatoes- Vitamin A, C, and Carbs to help increase energy.
  • Spinach- A top choice for iron that aids in producing energy.

Natural Health – Ways to Relieve Skin Irritations

 

Natural Health- Ways to Relieve Skin IrritationsHey Earth’s Enrichers 

In some instances, desperate times can call for desperate measures. What can you do to relieve the temporary discomfort that comes from skin break outs? You know the inflamed, red, itchy areas that happen when we make that one mistake we didn’t need. These cases tend not to be as serious as a visit to the emergency room, but can be as irritating as the day is long.

So this week, Earth’s Enrichers, we will be dedicated to giving you helpful and natural ways to relieve skin irritation. These remedies can be found in your own home and can be helpful when the irritation is not so serious but is far from comfortable. If you find that the irritation is something serious, then it’s best to contact a professional or doctor before taking any further action.

In weather that’s, icy and windy, your face or other constantly exposed areas can be subject to harsh elements. To protect your skin from the irritation of the cold, we recommend you moisturize and continue to hydrate your skin throughout the day. Coconut oil and shea butter (which we use to base all of our balms by the way) are great for healing, moisturizing, and revitalizing skin. Keeping your skin clean and moisturized properly everyday will help prevent irritation.

Then again, even when precautions are taken, things can still happen. So, what do you do to ease annoying skin irritation? There is a simple and general tactic to relieve discomfort. The first thing you should not do is constantly mess with or scratch the irritated area; that could make it worse. Not to mention, the dirt and bacteria from your hands could cause contamination.

So, the first step to take is to make sure the irritated area is clean.  Use natural skin sensitive cleansers that contain natural relievers like oatmeal and aloe vera. Using a cold water soaked wash cloth, pat the area gently or place it over the area. Do not scrub the area or leave it wet—pat the area dry with a soft towel. The cool water will help relieve the hotness of irritation temporarily.

 Aloe Vera has healing and cooling properties that can soothe irritations. Also, using a cold compress is an alternative. It can reduce swelling and provide temporary relief from the burning irritated skin, there are also properties in oatmeal that can help relieve inflammation. When cleaning or soaking the irritated area, it is best to use cold to lukewarm water. This way you don’t produce more irritation to the affected area or dry it out.

 Last but certainly not least, remove anything from that area of the body that could cause irritation. For instance, a tag or piece of clothing that continually comes in contact with that area will cause further irritation. Following this process should help provide some relief for any skin discomfort or irritation. If it doesn’t go away in a timely fashion, we recommend that you seek medical attention to see what the allergenic is or what continues to irritate your skin.

The EE 411:  Skin Irritations – Break Out the Break Out Remedies 

Remember, it is important to know your body. Make a note of the things that break you out and cause allergic reactions. It will help save you from future troubles. Once you recognize what irritates your skin, you can have a better assessment of its sensitivities. You will start to develop a profile that helps you select products that benefit you. So, for remedies that can help relieve the annoyance of skin inflammation, redness, and itchiness, please see below:

 When looking to reduce redness and inflammation, the following are good options:

Simply place these things on the area until temporary relief is evident. It shouldn’t take longer than a few minutes.

 When looking for something to reduce itching and irritation, the following are good choices:

  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Baking soda (a teaspoon add water)
  • Oatmeal
  • Peppermint leaves*
  • Basil leaves*

(*Also, good for bug bites)

Taking controlled amounts of these substances and gently rubbing them on the irritated area should temporally cease the annoyance. Check out other skincare remedies.

 Here at EE we do care about your health. If you find that you constantly deal with your skin breaking out, then perhaps you should assess the products you are using. We encourage you to try us and see if our products lead your skin to better results. We make our products with you in mind, so don’t forget we have your back. For a quick start, here are some EE products that contain ingredients that help with relief of irritation, inflammation, and redness.

Healthy Lifestyle – The Gift of Giving

 

????????Hey Earth’s Enrichers

It’s New Years’, the season of change and taking on new challenges. The holiday spirit doesn’t have to end, so why not continue the gift of giving and fellowship? We discovered some new information about the gift of giving that we know you would be interested in. Giving is the concept of passing something along to another individual without the need to receive anything in return. Inadvertently, when you give you do get something in return.

Would you believe us if we told you that when you give to someone you receive a good bill of health in return? Yep! Giving inspires relationship building, stress relief, reduced heart disease, and lower blood pressure. Human beings are natural social creatures who tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves. So, it makes a lot of sense when our emotions and social life affect our health.

Think back to when you have had a fight with a family member, suppose they felt unappreciated, how did you feel? It probably felt like thunder in your chest and a tsunami in your stomach. Negative feelings and bad relationships with others create restlessness and makes it hard for the body to relax. Cruelty is not something our bodies can easily handle, but it comes with the territory. We were given generosity, kindness, and fellowship to help us fight the cruelty, stinginess, and greed that can have negative effects on our health.

So, we encourage you to give a little cheer this New Year and the holiday seasons to come. The world is full of people who need it. Giving is not just for the holiday season but for all year long and it shows people that you care. If you have a chance to give, then give. Believe us when we tell you, it feels much better when you do and you never know what opportunities you can provide to a person by giving.

Another way to give is with fellowship. Sometimes, even spending time with people is more than enough. Quality time with family members and grandparents can bring them more joy than any amount of money could buy. They look forward to it and will always remember the quality time.

To help those who are less fortunate, donate what you can to a shelter, also spending time in a soup kitchen and helping out will help you find joy, especially if you can’t be with your family at that moment. It will help give you the emotional support you need, fellowship, and create warmth when you are homesick.

The EE 411:  The Rules on Giving

Okay, everyone pay attention. Take a deep breath in and out—we’re going to learn the rules on giving.

  1. Give to another to create joy
  2. Expect nothing in return
  3. Smile when you give
  4. Thank others for what they give you with a hearty smile
  5. By all means, write thank you cards
  6. Under no circumstances do you tell someone you are taking their gift back to the store (even if it’s socks).

In return you will be rewarded with:

  • Stress relief
  • Relationship building
  • Reduction of stress can help reduce heart disease and high blood pressure
  • Fellowship
  • Intimacy and empathy
  • Patience
  • Happiness
  • Sleeping better at night
  • More gifts

So, we hope our gift to you can be useful during your journey through life. Generosity is the key to health and happiness. We at EE hope you had a happy holiday season and a great New Year. Enjoy the gift of giving!

Organic Health – Creative Motivation

???????Hey Earth’s Enrichers

Remember a few weeks ago we did a topic on Intellectual health? We talked about how a mind is a terrible thing to waste and that it must be stimulated on the average in order for it to maintain functionality and good health.  In order to properly stimulate and motivate your mind, you must use your creativity!

The internet and technology has made it possible for everyone to be creative. It is a network where individuals can share and hone in on their creative abilities. There are places for individuals to share and create what they enjoy for free like film/video making/editing, writing, music, games, and art. It is a place where people come together and share. Sharing their creations helps the creators build their abilities and improve on them.

Creativity is developed when an individual feeds their mind creative elements. This means the more creations a person fills their mind with, the better the content that comes out. Creativity comes from “remixing” the world we live in. We draw from our own experiences, build upon them, and make them our own—they become our very own creative projects.

Exposing our minds to the things we enjoy—our hobbies—inspires us to be more creative. This can give us more outlets for our emotions. Take this as an example:  we listen to music depending on our mood and our personal tastes. When some of us are alone, we hum our favorite tunes. Some of us even ad-lib and change up the tempo according to how we feel. This, our friends, is creativity! So go on and sing your remix and dance your signature moves. In doing this, you are activating creativity and stimulating creative thought. It motivates you to pick up or make your own tempo.

It all goes back to garbage in, garbage out. Allowing your mind to take in creative information allows it to go through a filtering process. The creations (videos, music, fan made literature, etc) that are taken into the mind can be in good taste or utterly terrible; either way, your mind’s creative problem solving will help you make what you find terrible better or help you find something that better suits your fancy.

The EE 411:  Access To Creativity

What is it that you enjoy the most? The internet is a place of globalization and the coming together of many hobbies that are enjoyed. Believe it or not, glamour and skincare are hobbies. You can become a master of skin perfection by finding and creating what benefits your skin and makes it glow.

  • There are no excuses for boredom or lack of healthy skincare. You have an open source where people share their home remedies and options. Even here at EE, we are happy to share what we have learned and provide you with better choices.Hobbies that go great together:
    • Aromatherapy with a good book & meditation
    • Soothing lavender, lemon grass, or seaweed salt bath with music
    • Sketching, drawing, recreational art with music
    • Games with children or friends plus introducing them to your expert cooking skills
    • Cooking and having one’s own herb and spice garden
    • Bargain shopping and designing a masterfully stylish outfit
    • Social media, writing, and blogging–  especially if you like to connect with people 🙂 
    • Aromatherapy and making your own crafts (perfume, air freshener, etc.)

    These are just a few ideas, but there are many more. Creativity is healthy for your mind and emotions. It gives you outlets and a way to keep your mind stimulated and motivated. We hope this inspires you to get creative! ^^
