Summary: Hair loss and hair thinning occurs because not enough hair nutrients reach the hair roots.  Here are some natural remedies that you can use to increase the blood circulation to your scalp to keep the hair you have or to stop hair thinning Article Body: In one of my other articles, I revealed that plugged hair follicles are one of the main conditions that start hair thinning and baldness.  The other condition is insufficient blood circulation in the scalp. When you don't have enough blood circulating in your scalp, then your hair roots don't get enough nutrients to support the life and strength of your hair in the follicle.

Summary: A look at what you can do to develop your own skincare program. Article Body: Why is it that all of us cannot keep the skin we were born with. Well I’ve still got my skin but it has changed and, according to my mother, it has changed a lot. It would also need to have stretched a bit, well in my case stretched a lot. As we get older, things happen to our skin, like wrinkles. I have them but I am a man so I can get away with it. Unfortunately, ladies find it harder to get away with having a few wrinkles.
