How Celebs Stay Young, 6 Secrets

By Dr. Grace Angel

1. DO NOT ABUSE ALCOHOL

Alcohol, as we all know, causes dehydration. "Going to bed after a bender without properly treating your face is like tanning in Cozumel for a week without using sunscreen," says one famous starlet known for her work on High School Musical.

Abusing alcohol will, over time, decrease the body's ability to produce collagen and reduces skin's firmness and elasticity, which will cause dry, sagging, wrinkled skin.

2. STAY OUT OF THE SUN

This one is a no-brainer, but if you must hit the beach use a high powered sun-block. "SPF 50 on my face and neck is a must and spf 35 on my body let's me get a nice brownish tan," suggests a former Mickey Mouse club alumna.

3. COFFEE IS YOUR ENEMY

Caffeine is nature's diuretic and coffee contains it in spades. It causes the body to get rid of necessary liquids and nutrients. Jesus-lovin' Country music singers agree, "When I drink too much coffee, my teeth become noticeable stained and I can swear that the slight wrinkles around my eyes start developing into crows feet."

4. CITRUS AND VEGETABLES ARE YOUR FRIENDS

Green leafy vegetables like spinach contain antioxidants essential to skin health. Citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruits contain vitamin C, which boosts the skin's collagen production increasing skin elasticity and firmness.

5. DRINK 10 GLASSES OF WATER

"I drink at least 10 glasses of water a day, and really notice that my skin looks dull, gray, and vapid when I don't," says a certain hotel-fortune heiress.

6. USE A NIGHT CREAM THAT CONTAINS RETINOL, VITAMIN C, & PEPTIDES

This is the most important step you can take to reduce the environment's wear and tear on your face. Choose a night cream that contains proven age-fighting compounds like retinol, vitamin C, and peptides. "My night time moisturizer is my saving grace. I use it religiously and know that it is saving my skin. I am 45 and boys approach me at the gym and clubs thinking I'm 25," says a member of Hollywood royalty who judiciously declined to be named.

World Of Warcraft Paladin Class Guide

By Kit Saunders

Let me begin by saying this is certainly not a full World of Warcraft guide on Paladins. There is no way you could cram everything this most versatile of classes is able to do in a few paragraphs. It is merely an overview that will hopefully give you a small window in the world of the paladin, the holy warrior of WoW.

Paladins are a unique class that could be described as being a hybrid mix of warriors, priests and other dps classes like warlocks and mages.

Though they can be defined as being a hybrid classes borrowing traits from these more specialized classes, the paladin use of these abilities is such that they are recognised as being too powerful. They are master at PvP combat and if you are a warrior such as I am you will know that they are tough to beat. Their nickname is "holy warrior" since they can tank as well as heal and also cast spells. A very powerful and unfair combination if you are not a paladin.

So Paladins specialize as tanks by having in one of their abilities tree called the "Protection Tree" spells and learned talents which enables them to both take and give enormous damage to and from several enemies at once. Special spells here include "Holy Shield", "Retribution", and "Consecration" which all add up to give the Paladin well sought after tanking abilities which for some raids and instances are far superior to that of any other class.

The "Retribution" tree allows the paladin to have the pick of spells and abilities that allow them to deal out lots of DPS and close combat/melee damage against their enemies. From this tree they have spell such as "Seal of Command" and "Crusader Strike" which allows paladins to be of a key role during raids.

The third ability is that of the Holy Warrior. From here they can draw from a range of spells that bestows and improves their healing power. Their healing speciality is to be able to give heals to different players in the game or their group. And also, since they can fight like warriors, they can heal themselves while fighting making them more resilient than warriors. This really does make them the most versatile class for group play where they are equally comfortable at taking the place of the Priest to heal or the place of warriors to tank. A good group will always have a paladin to back up either class or take over when need be.

Thus if you want to tank, heal and do dps without starting 3 different classes, this world of warcraft guide on paladins will have hopefully have shown you that if you fancy to do all 3 then all you need to do is to start a paladin as your next character. Their versatility in all these abilities makes them highly indispensable in groups and in end of game activities such as raids or instances paladins are classes which will always be the first choice.

Six Things You Need to Know about Ltci and Maximum Policy Value

By Terry Stanfield

When you get a long term care insurance quote you need to consider the maximum policy value associated with this. Many people don't understand this type of policy nor do they think they need it.

1. The maximum policy value of a long term care insurance policy is the amount of money you put into the policy. This policy is considered to be a pool of money you put together into a type of savings account that is later used for your long term health care later in life when you really need it.

2. The value of your policy will differ depending on how many days a week you need long term care. If you only need long term care for two days a week rather than seven days a week you will have more money to spend in the long term.

3. A long term care insurance policy can be shared between you and your spouse. As you pay into the policy the amount of money will build up into an account. Eventually, if you or your spouse need money for care you will be able to use this policy. One of you may not need care and the other one of you may.

4. When you choose the automatic inflation method you gain interest on your policy and the long term care insurance cost may increase over time also. You should be shown how the price may change or increase over time. The good news is that the coverage will increase because the amount of money you have in your account will grow.

5. Should you never need to use your long term health care policy it can be cashed out. You do not lose this money if you die from something that hits you right away.

6. Long term health coverage is not a life insurance policy. Many people are confused about this type of policy and they don't understand. This is a very beneficial policy that will help take care of your needs should you need a home nurse or need to be put into a nursing home.

When you get a long term care insurance quote it is important to understand what the maximum value of the policy is. This is not like a life insurance policy that is worth a million dollars if you die. This is like a savings account that gains money as you put your own money into it. When you eventually need long term health care then you will begin to use your policy.

By Amanda Maseko

For most women, tanning their skin is a part of their beauty regimen.

One way of getting a tan is to use tanning lotion. This is one safe method but the effect is not really that remarkable since tanning lotion often wears off easily. Plus if you do not know how to correctly apply them you would have an uneven tan.

Aside from the tanning formulas used the spray also varies. A tanning booth may use an eight nozzle spray to even out the distribution of the tanning lotion on the body. All the user has to do is to step inside the booth, adjust the nozzle and then simply press the button to activate the spray. After four rotations the tanning process is completed and the user can step out of the booth towel off any excess lotion and then dress up and go.

If you want to maintain your tan it is advisable that you visit your tanning booth every 4 to 5 days. Another advantage of choosing tanning booths over other tanning products or methods is that the formulas used do not stain and are non-greasy. So you won't have to worry tainting your favorite clothes.

You should not also fear that you will go out of the California Mystic booth dripping wet because the tiny droplets of mist can be toweled off. Plus, the solution applied to your skin will not be wiped off as you towel yourself dry. It is important to note that showering after tanning must be done after four hours so that the DHA content will be allowed enough time to set fully onto the skin. Isn't it amazing to know that getting a tan is now made a lot easier?
