FOODS TO PUT ON YOUR FACE

Natural beauty treatments in your kitchen

You eat a healthy diet and choose natural foods, so why not use them on your skin too?
Many of the healthy foods we eat are beneficial for the skin and hair - and unlike some of today’s big-name beauty brands don’t contain chemicals that can cause irritation.

Egg whites

Egg whites act as a mild astringent, helping to firm and tone the skin. Apply to the face and leave to dry for 10 minutes before rinsing off. As the egg whites dry on the face, they lift dirt and debris out of the pores and soak up excess oil, making it a good choice for those with acne.

Honey

A natural antiseptic, honey has been used for wound healing for centuries. Because it kills bacteria, it is sometimes found as an ingredient in natural products for acne treatment. Best suited to those with dry skin.You can apply directly to the face as a moisturiser.


Coconut oil

. If you’re prone to acne, avoid heavy oils (like olive oil) and opt for coconut oil, which is less likely to block the pores. Smooth on to damp skin for an ultra-hydrating moisture boost.

Oatmeal

Oatmeal

You will find oatmeal in a range of beauty products. Famed for its skin-soothing properties. Add a handful of oats (the same kind you eat for breakfast) into a bath and soak for 15 minutes to soften the skin. To make a gentle exfoliation, mix oatmeal with warm water and apply to the face in circular motions, then rinse off.

Green tea

Green tea isn’t just good for your health, it can help improve your skin too. Take two bags and dampen with cold water then apply to the eyes for 10 minutes to help reduce puffiness and dark circles.

Yoghurt

Natural yoghurt

Good for your digestive health, plain natural yoghurt can do wonders for your complexion. Apply directly to the face and leave for 15-20 minutes to cleanse the skin and tighten pores
Banana

Banana

For a natural moisture boost, try mashing up a medium-sized banana into a smooth paste and apply to the face and neck. Leave for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water.

Turmeric

Turmeric

Used in Indian and Eastern cooking, tumeric is celebrated for its anti-inflammatory properties, to speed wound healing and to help treat eczema. Studies show it may help firm ageing skin too. If you want to try it, mix a little turmeric with your normal face cream. Used neat it can cause irritation.

10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business

  10 Important Cybersecurity Practices for your Business 1. EDUCATION  It’s much easier to prevent a hack than it is to recover from a hack. Once your company’s sensitive data is stolen through a ransomware attack, recovering it is often a long and arduous process. Teaching employees about basic security, personal cybersecurity, and the prevalence of cyber threats goes a long way in stopping ransomware attacks before they can really do damage. Your employees should understand that they might be targets of malicious actors, eager to exploit any entry they can find in your company. The average cost of a cyberattack is 3.86 million and the cumulative total for global cybercrime is expected to cost $6 trillion. If you don’t pay to train your employees about cybersecurity best practices eventually you may end up paying more in the long run. High quality and free trainings for your employees are available from several government resources including Department of Homeland S...

Nearly 500,000 workers are needed in cybersecurity roles around the country

The push to work from home during the coronavirus pandemic is straining cybersecurity professionals around the country tasked with ensuring workers are able to not only work efficiently from remote locations — but to do so safely. This rapid shift is a tall order for an industry that was already in need of skilled professionals long before the pandemic took hold.  Cybersecurity workers were taken off some or all of their typical security duties to assist with other IT-related tasks, including equipping mobile workforces, according to an April survey from global nonprofit (ISC)2, the largest association of certified cybersecurity professionals. The survey of 256 cyber pros found nearly half were re-tasked and that a quarter said cybersecurity incidents increased since the transition to remote work, with some seeing as many as double the number of incidents. Separate data from another nonprofit cybersecurity group, the Information Systems Security Association, found a 63% increase in...
