Treat Puffy Eyes

A little too much partying last night? If you woke up this morning to puffy eyes or dark circles, wrap an ice cube in a thin washcloth and gently rub it underneath your eyes for a few minutes before applying yourGiorgio Armani Maestro Eraser Concealer. The pair works like a charm!
Soothe a Sore Pimple
If you’ve been picking at a painful pimple, just put a cube or two into a Ziploc baggy and place it over your blemish for an instant cooling effect. The relief will quickly reduce redness and swelling for fast healing! Dab your pimple with The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil spot-treatment after your freezing sesh for added benefits.
Shrink Pores
Oh, the relationship we have with our pores. We want them to get smaller and they just keep getting bigger. Reduce the appearance of your poor large pores by lightly running an ice cube along your skin for 15-30 seconds to tighten them.
Instant Face Lift
A morning face dunk in ice water will instantly tighten everything up from your pores to the overall appearance of your skin … seriously! Then slather on your L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Anti-Wrinkle + Firming SPF 30 Day Lotion for a firmer and younger-looking complexion.
Numbing Agent
In dire need of an upper lip wax or is it time to pluck and shape your brows? Use ice before and after your hair removal session to reduce pain, redness and swelling.
Refreshing Glow
On those days where your skin is looking a little lackluster, dull OR you just want to go out without makeup, rub some ice on your face for a dewy and rosy glow that will leave you looking fresh and rejuvenated. 
Soothing Sunburn
Too much fun in the sun can leave your skin red and crispy! For those days you skipped your sunscreen — whoops! — pour aloe directly into an ice tray and once frozen, use it to treat and soothe your burn. Be careful; it sure is cold!

Hi BodyRockers, . Face it you are weird. In today’s world if you train like a warrior, flex your discipline when it comes to your diet, and pass on grazing on donuts in the break room at work chances are you are chided on some level by those around as being weird. Get used to it. Embrace the smell of your sweaty socks. Not many people make a daily practice out of pushing themselves beyond their comfort zones for one workout a day. Not many people step out of what is comfortable for themselves period. This is a niche movement. Not everyone will get why you train this way or why you train at all. Thankfully we don’t need anyones permission or approval, and if we are looking for support we have a place to go where people get it. Being weird requires a good measure of independ

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Image
Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing. Exposure to air pollution can cause both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) health effects.
