Seeds of Doubt, Interlude 1.2

Please refer to the first chapter for character and fandom info; otherwise I'll just assume you know what you're getting yourself into!

Rating: For this first chapter, it's M. Please also note lots of blood descriptions.

Pairing : Squall Leonhart/Genesis Rhapsodos

Chapter Summary: After the meeting, Genesis retreats to let loose in the training room. Squall reluctantly joins him. After a fiery duel and some unexpected tension, the pair have a talk about their respective rivals. It ends about as Squall expects.

<- Previous Chapter Next Chapter -> AO3 Link

In all honesty, Squall felt like he’d been hit squarely in the face several times after that meeting. He felt off-balance somehow, as though everything had suddenly shifted and he didn’t know how to right himself again. He certainly hadn’t appreciated Rufus and Lazard digging into his past, and while the entire concept of being an Ancient was utterly ridiculous, he didn’t exactly have proof to the contrary, did he? And he wasn’t about to ask one of Shinra’s scientists for some type of test to prove one way or the other, not when Hojo or Hollander or someone else might detain him for further study.

Strife had been the only one he’d been reasonably familiar with before the meeting, but with Fair hanging all over him Squall had wordlessly excused himself and headed for the hallway. A gloved hand made it up to his forehead where a headache was building ominously, the tension threatening to spill over into a full-blown migraine at any moment. His fingers itched as he considered reaching for his PHS to call someone, but he paused before his hand had even broken contact with his forehead. Who was there? Gast was dead, he was avoiding Irvine, and he could only imagine Seifer would laugh before hanging up unceremoniously.

Rinoa wasn’t a bad option, necessarily, but he really didn’t want the third degree on how he was doing and why he never called her or answered her texts. His hand fell back to his side limply, though he could think of only one option after exhausting the rest of them: the training facility.

Unfortunately for him, said training facility was occupied, and he wasn’t about to push in on the facilities specifically designated for Thirds and Seconds.

Still, the facility was… decently large, wasn’t it? There was no reason he and someone else couldn’t both take out some frustrations on holographic targets without getting in the way. It wasn’t ideal, but it was something, and Squall was desperate enough to take it.

He didn’t even bother with the controls; no doubt whoever was already in there had set them high enough, and even if not, Squall wasn’t necessarily looking for a training challenge. He just needed to work off some steam.

When the door to the virtual room opened, Squall could already hear angry shrieks and the telltale sizzle of fire magic. When a winged drake came zooming down in his direction, though, Squall was ready. He’d never been a fan of aerial combat, though that didn’t stop him from striking at the creature’s wing joint with a lethal downward strike, the leathery skin giving way until it dissolved and Squall landed on his feet with a quiet thud. His fingers still itched, however, and his grip only tightened as another swell of fire magic disintegrated a copse of virtual trees dead ahead.

“You. What are you doing here?”

Genesis Rhapsodos, one of the foremost Commanders of Shinra’s SOLDIER division and a practical war hero of Wutai, cut an imposing figure as he descended from a higher ledge, the folds of his coat swaying from the movement as he landed easily, gracefully even, on his feet. Squall had read several of his reports, though it wasn’t hard to figure him out; he was angry, had been ever since Lazard called him a failed experiment, though Squall didn’t understand why he cared one way or the other. What did other people’s opinions matter?

At Genesis’ irritated question, Squall could only roll his eyes. “This is still the training room, right?” Genesis bristled further at the caustic sarcasm in Squall’s tone, one of his hands tightening into a fist.

“I don’t recall asking you to join me,” Genesis answered tightly, eyes narrowing as Squall stiffened in place.

I don’t have the patience for this. Genesis, frighteningly, was reminding him of Seifer: demanding, fiery, and downright rude at times. The comparison made him lift his free hand to pinch the brim of his nose, his headache returning full force before he realized that another swell of magic was being cast – and this time, in his direction. Squall cut it down with a swipe of his blade before catching Genesis’ gaze, the man’s mako-glowing irises glittering with mirth and mania.

“Well, if you won’t leave, I suppose I’ll have to settle for a partner,” Genesis practically spat out the last word, though Squall wasn’t even allowed a word in edgewise before a crimson rapier, glittering with magic, bore down on him. He brought his gunblade up just in time to intercept it, sparks flying in every direction as the impact jostled Genesis’ shoulder-length auburn locks. “So, the supposed Ancient isn’t as delicate as he looks.” Genesis smirked over the crossed blades before Squall pushed him back with a grunt of effort, his own eyes narrowing at the reminder.

“Oh? It appears I’ve struck a nerve. I can’t imagine how that feels.” Fury was exploding in Genesis’ tone: making his eyes gleam as he raised a hand to summon yet more fire to his palm.

“Why the fuck do you care what those assholes say?” Squall finally shot back, aiming a blast of icy wind to break apart the inferno building in Genesis’ palm. The sudden disintegration of the fire had Genesis momentarily knocked off-balance, though he simply bared his teeth in a growl before leaping forward to another rain of sparks as their blades met.

“You don’t understand,” Genesis howled, aiming a kick to Squall’s midsection and sending him flying back into a tree. “To be constantly compared to others, never seen as equal no matter how hard you try. Though now I suppose we know why, do we not? Since our dear General was engineered for savagery.”

For fuck’s sake. How many times would he have to listen to this sort of shit? Seifer had bemoaned not being chosen as the First Class candidate when Squall had been chosen instead, had snarled that it wasn’t fair, had insinuated that Squall was a freak no human could have hoped to match.

For a moment, Genesis’ form even flickered blond, a mirrored scar appearing over the line of his nose as Seifer sneered down at him. Gritting his jaw, Squall could feel his usually-ironclad restraint beginning to fray. Did he think this was easy? Squall had never tried to make anyone feel inferior, had never done anything but his best; couldn’t anyone see that people were different? No one was ‘better’ or ‘worse’; such were arbitrary words, though as Genesis crept closer, still wearing that infuriating smirk, something in Squall snapped.

Genesis fell back just as the tip of the gunblade swiped up where his nose had been a moment ago, and for the first time, he seemed to be taking this ‘duel’ seriously. “I never wanted this!” Squall roared, swiping at Genesis with frightening intensity that left Genesis on the defensive; it was a wonder his rapier didn’t go soaring out of his grip when Squall landed a particularly hard swing and numbness spread through Genesis’ fingers for just a few seconds. His eyes widened at the vehement look on Squall’s face: wild eyes, pursed lips, flaring nostrils; his strength could rival Sephiroth’s, but instead of being further angered by it… Genesis let out a breath in a half-startled gasp before his lips curled into a lazy smile.

The next blow sent his rapier clattering to the ground, skidding away several feet, and Genesis only then realized he needed damage control, and quickly. Too bad for him he wasn’t nearly quick enough.

Squall rounded on him half a second before pain bloomed across his face, and he gasped as it burned his skin; was Squall using magic without materia? Was that even possible? It was only luck that allowed him to evade Squall’s next swing, and he had to bite back a smirk as he landed a fire-laden hand on top of Squall’s, the brunet swearing under his breath before he released his grip on his weapon to cradle the burnt appendage. The gunblade was not something Genesis was accustomed to, and he would relish the chance to look at it more thoroughly later, though for now…

A red-gloved hand balled itself in the fabric of Squall’s shirt and tightened, and Squall went sprawling backwards as a fist connected with his jaw, the taste of blood an unnervingly familiar one as he swallowed, his tongue trying to clear it from his teeth. This… this was almost familiar: the rapid thrumming of his pulse as it pounded in his ears, the slow trickle of blood oozing down the side of his chin, the pinpricks of pain just before he straightened himself and looked up in time to see Genesis watching with an almost gleeful expression.

“I didn’t think gods bled,” Genesis spoke glibly, his tone, fortunately, now a far cry from Seifer. Squall wasn’t terribly accustomed to this… amusement Genesis favored; Seifer had stuck to sneers and insults and heavy blows that Squall could still remember from the recoil it sent arcing up into his limbs. He couldn’t decide which was worse, though words were spilling from his mouth before he even thought to stop them.

“I didn’t think monsters bled red,” Squall added just as glibly, his turn of phrase catching Genesis so by surprise he almost smiled between his winded chuckles. Squall didn’t even see the next punch coming, though for each blow that landed, he returned it – took almost a perverse pleasure in watching Genesis stagger, in watching him hold his jaw or his nose as blood ran down the sharp point of his chin and over those blood-colored gloves he favored.

The next time Squall rushed Genesis, though, the redhead was prepared; he shifted his weight to one side, leaving one foot angled out just enough for Squall to trip over. He fell to the ground in a heap, the taste of blood even more pungent in his mouth, though as he tried to stand, there was a sudden warm weight straddling him, wandering hands sliding appreciatively over the supple leather of his jacket.

“Yielding already?” Genesis taunted, leaning close enough for Squall to feel his breath against his ear, the brush of his hair against his neck, but by far the most distracting was his smell. Blood and leather and something heady, akin to musk, assaulted his nose, and Squall shuddered despite himself. It had been too long since he’d had sex, and that fight had… well, stirred up old memories that usually led to the bedroom – or sometimes a closet or the showers or even the nearest wall.

“Who knew you could be domesticated,” Genesis continued lazily, a finger trailing up the nape of Squall’s neck. He couldn’t suppress another shudder, though he did bristle at the redhead’s words. He didn’t expect the soft chuckles that followed, nor the sudden removal of that comfortable weight on his back.

Squall didn’t wait to get to his feet, his balance wobbly for just a moment as Genesis approached, his gaze assessing. It was… almost startling to see Genesis still bleeding, his face purpling with bruises. He hadn’t really intended to hit him so hard, but once his restraint slipped, he’d learned it wasn’t always easy to get it back into place; it was why he tried so hard to stay in control of himself. “Sorry,” Squall muttered, a gloved hand reaching unconsciously for Genesis’ cheek but pausing mid-way.

What the fuck was he doing?

“No need to worry. I always give as good as I get.” An auburn eyebrow curled upward as mischief curved the corners of Genesis’ lips attractively, and Squall could scarcely look away.

Fuck.

It was a mistake. Of course it was, but there was no stopping him now, especially not when Genesis’ eyelashes fluttered and he took a step closer, his hands weaving their way into Squall’s hair. The kiss hurt, even tasted like blood, but he was loathe to part from it even so, one of his hands splaying against the back of Genesis’ neck as a bloody tongue prised his lips apart. That particular act earned Genesis a groan before Squall chased it back into his mouth and a similar sound rumbled out of Genesis’ mouth, vibrating against Squall’s chest. His hand tightened at the base of Genesis’ skull as he took his time to explore Genesis’ mouth: grazing over his teeth, his gums, and his tongue before coiling around the muscle and sucking.

He almost missed the soft, whimper-like moans that Genesis offered, smothered by Squall’s mouth as he was, though for once Squall didn’t mind the side effect of his enhanced hearing. What he didn’t expect were sharp, little teeth to bite down on his tongue playfully, the act earning a startled groan before Squall pulled away with a rather accusatory look. Genesis looked almost demure when he deigned to open his eyes, his feigned innocence making Squall’s lips twitch. His playfulness made way for something more sincere, though, something almost curiously fond, and Squall ignored the similarly-curious flip of something in his chest as he glanced around the clearing for his gunblade.

“In future, please feel free to be my partner.” Genesis seemed to derive some sort of pleasure in double entendre, and Squall snorted at it, the brunet shaking his head in silent bemusement.

“I’ll keep it in mind,” Squall informed him, just a hint of mischief coloring his tone. “For now, we should probably clean up.” Genesis cocked an eyebrow at that, though parted his lips in silent understanding as Squall retrieved a Cure materia from his jacket pocket. It quickly morphed into a curious blink when Squall cast the spell on him first, the bruises and the cut beginning to heal until even the slight throbbing was gone.

“My turn,” Genesis insisted, wasting no time in grabbing the materia out of Squall’s hand as the brunet heaved an exasperated sigh. “I must have… struck a nerve earlier. You came at me like a man possessed,” Genesis noted, the amusement in his tone slight, as if the pleasant feeling were overwhelmed by something more negative. Was that… contrition Squall was hearing? The urge to tease him was strong, but Squall withheld it, instead focusing on the unasked question.

“I doubt you want to hear about it,” Squall eventually settled on an answer as the materia began to glow and the Cure took effect.

Genesis’ eyes rolled as he scoffed. “If I didn’t, I wouldn’t have brought it up.”

With a sigh, Squall held out his hand for the Cure materia before dropping down to sit, a hand rubbing thoughtfully against his forehead before he pocketed the materia. Genesis seemed to take it as a cue to follow, and sank down to sit at his side, close enough to feel ambient warmth if not direct physical contact.

“Back before I made First, there was an old training partner of mine, Almasy.”

Genesis outright grimaced to hear it. “Oh. Him.”

Squall chuckled drily, nodding in affirmation. “He was determined to beat me at everything. Materia control, training, missions, even recognition from the Director or superior officers or our fellow Seconds. We got in our fair share of tussles, in and out of the training room.” Genesis was listening raptly, his eyes never wavering from Squall’s face.

“It didn’t matter what I said or what I did. It was always my fault when he didn’t win, or when he failed, or when he fucked up a mission. And a lot of what you were saying… reminded me of what he used to say to me.”

Squall paused, unsure what else there was to say; he really didn’t want to get into the tangle of what their relationship had entailed, especially with someone he still didn’t know very well, though Genesis at least seemed thoughtful when he glanced in the redhead’s direction.

“I’m sure it will come as no surprise for you to learn that I have a bit of a… rivalry with our dear General,” Genesis began, idly picking at a broken flower stem. He let out a harsh laugh rather abruptly, his fingers grabbing the stem and plucking it free. “Or, I suppose it’s more apropos to say that I have a one-sided rivalry with him.” His laugh was bitter this time as he crushed the stem in his fist before letting the remnants drift down from his open, sideways palm.

“He does nothing to bait me, nothing at all, and I suppose that fact alone is what irritates me so badly. Sometimes it feels as though he doesn’t recognize all my effort–”

“He does,” Squall stated plainly, his declaration freezing Genesis in place. “But what would be better? For him to acknowledge that, however hard you work, he still knows he can beat you? He doesn’t bring it up because he’s trying not to rub your nose in it.”

That gave Genesis pause, though after a moment’s consideration he simply shook his head with a hapless chuckle. “So we’re doomed to be forever at odds.” There was a strange, pained quality to Genesis’ tone, though he glanced up grumpily when Squall heaved a long-suffering sigh.

“Have you forgotten you’re on the same side? Aren’t you, Hewley, and Sephiroth best friends? I’ve heard the stories of all the shit you got up to in Wutai. You’re just going to end up pushing him away if you don't stop, and I get the feeling that’s not what you want. Maybe he can best you in a spar, but I’ve heard – and seen – that you’re pretty handy with the materia.” Genesis’ eyes rolled at that, but Squall was determined. Maybe he couldn’t mend fences with Seifer, but Genesis could mend them with Sephiroth.

“Have you ever thought about what makes Sephiroth jealous of you?”

Genesis’ eyes widened impossibly at that. “Don’t be ridiculous!” Genesis shot back hotly, incredulously, color rising high on his cheeks.

“Sephiroth spent his life in a lab, being tortured and groomed by fucking Hojo. Don’t you have a family? A rich family from a some small town? A best friend from childhood? Sephiroth may have a lot, but he never had a family, and before you and Angeal, I doubt he had any friends – or any meaningful contact at all.”

“So, what? ‘Be grateful for what you have’?” Genesis snorted derisively.

“No.” Squall stood as he spoke, his shoulders squared. “Maybe stop being such a fucking self-centered bastard. If you took your head out of your ass for a few minutes, you might actually notice how Sephiroth looks guilty whenever you act like this, like he’s the one who’s done something wrong when he hasn’t.” Genesis got to his feet swiftly, hands tightening into fists, though Squall had already retrieved his gunblade and was heading for the door to the training room.

Genesis stopped trailing after him, only waiting until after the door had shut again before conjuring another Fire spell and letting out an anguished, enraged wail as the magic seethed and roiled around him.

Finally.

There was a storm to match his rage.

How do you know if you have healthy hair?

New Post has been published on https://hazirbilgi.com/how-do-you-know-if-you-have-healthy-hair/

How do you know if you have healthy hair?

Our hair can withstand a tension of 3.5 ounces and grow up to 30% when wet. However, only healthy hair has such superpowers. Damaged hair strands break quite easily. You may not be able to detect the condition of your hair at first glance. But there are simple ways to control it and take action to restore it…

1. Follicle test

To see if your hair is overall healthy and whether hair loss is anything to worry about, you need to check the roots first. So how is this done?

Take a strand of your hair from the root.

Examine the follicle (hair root). The normal root end of a hair strand should be in the form of a bulb. If you see this, your hair is healthy. If the root is not in the form of a bulb, your hair is weak and needs care.

How to prevent hair loss?

Follow the Mediterranean diet . A study revealed that it reduces the risk of hair loss. This diet consists of foods such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, fish, and whole grains. Try to avoid foods like red meat, sweet drinks, and processed foods. It has many benefits not only for healthy hair, but also for supporting your blood sugar levels, protecting your brain function and heart health.

Avoid tight hairstyles such as ponytails, especially while you sleep, as they can cause hair loss.

Take special vitamins and minerals.

2. Sink test

This measures how porous your hair is. Healthy hair is quite strong, while damaged hair quickly absorbs the liquid. Remember that genetics is a contributing factor to how porous your hair is, as well as heat damage and product damage over time. To find out if your hair is healthy and get the best results from this test, make sure your hair is clean. To perform the test, do these:

Take a clean strand of hair that you just shampooed.

Drop your strand of hair into a glass of water. Completely healthy strands will float, relatively healthy ones will go down a bit, and damaged ones will sink completely.

How to treat high pore hair?

Apply various conditioners and oils. They help seal in the moisture your hair has absorbed. Applying these oils to your hair is a great way to keep it healthy, especially if you have dull, dry and damaged hair. It can make it look soft, healthy and beautiful.

Use conditioner after each wash.

Apply apple cider vinegar and aloe vera to your hair to adjust the pH balance.

3. Tensile test

This test aims to check the elasticity of your hair. It basically measures how severe your hair loss is. If you are going to the doctor and you decide to have the test done by a professional, they will take small areas of your hair (about 40 strands) from different parts of your head. If 6+ hairs are shed, it means there is active hair loss. The test will give results on whether you have signs of brittle hair loss.

Break off a strand of hair.

Gently pull on both ends. If it stretches and bounces back when you let go, it’s healthy. If it breaks easily, it’s pretty weak.

How do you restore your hair elasticity?

Let it dry on its own. Using heat damages the elasticity of the hair.

Massage your hair with jojoba oil. Jojoba oil can be used as a moisturizer and you can even add it to your conditioner to prevent your hair from drying out and breaking. It also works to prevent dandruff formation. It contains many vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C and B vitamins that are great for nourishing your hair. It can even prevent hair loss and keep your hair thick. It saturates the skin with moisture: Click to read the Jojoba oil article…

Try applying some honey to your strands. It is a great natural conditioner and will retain moisture in your hair. Honey is very effective for your hair. One study showed that it can even promote hair growth, with its ability to restore cells in your scalp. If you like shiny hair, it can also provide a natural shine as a moisturizer. So if you have dull hair, honey is a natural solution to this problem. Honey also contains protein, which is important for protecting your hair against breakage.

4. Porosity test

With this test, you can determine the condition of the cuticle of your hair and understand whether it is damaged. What you need to do…

Pinch a strand of hair between your index and middle fingers.

Swipe from top to root between your fingers. If you feel rough and untidy, your hair is damaged. If you’re feeling smooth, it’s healthy.

How to treat damaged hair?

Try a keratin treatment. Makes hair smooth, removes frizz and makes hair shine.

Avoid transactions. Limit dyeing, perming, and blow-drying.

Try rinsing your hair with rice water. Studies have proven that rice water stays in the hair for a while and protects the hair from damage. It also shows that it can be good to keep your hair color longer.

Butt hair can tangle and it is very possible to accidently rip it out if you sit or move the wrong way. This is a new hell. It’s normal. Eventually it sorts itself out.

Probably gonna sweat more. Also normal. Try different anti perspirants. May be none work completely but some at least work better than others. If you get put stains from deodourant try to find one with 0% aluminium salts.

Things will piss you off more. Normal. You’re a grumpy old man/woman/person now.

Ongoing back pain that’s intermittent. If you’ve tried every damn test you and your doc can think about to try and find out wtf is going on if you haven’t yet try to get a blood test to look for the HLA-B27 marker. Apparently this can be responsible particularly if there’s a family history of arthritis and/or psoriases.

Your skin is gonna dry out faster. Make like a hagfish and slather yourself head to toe.

Take a nap during the day if you need to.

Any old injuries are probably gonna start hurting (particularly in certain weather conditions)

If something is hurting and it’s been a bit go see your doctor.

Seriously. Don’t be me. I have chronic bursitis in my left shoulder from an old untreated fracture. I ignored it for 2 years because initially I figured it’d sort itself out.

Then I forgot that my shoulder feeling how it was isn’t normal.

My registered nurse sister found out and literally dragged me in for an X-ray and ultrasound then cortisone shot into the affected joint.

As referenced above I you leave an issue long enough you may forget it’s not normal so ADRESS ISSUES QUICKLY.

For all vag havers hopefully you already know this but do NOT use soaps and stuff on your pussy. All you need it warm water to clean it. Anything else is gonna throw off the delicate ph balance and create pussy problems.

Also after using the bathroom if you have a coochie unless you want to suffer wipe front to back. You don’t want a UTI.

If you DO get a UTI go to a doctor. You’ll probably need antibiotics. Pair said antibiotics with a urinary alkaliniser for quick symptom relief

TAKE THE FULL ANTIBIOTIC COUSE. Don’t create antibiotic resistant strains ffs.

Untreated UTI’s CAN migrate up the urinary tract and affect your bladder (cystitis) or worst case get to your kidneys. Untreated UTI’s can potentially give you sepsis (a thing that can kill you)

Facts about your body after you turn 25, AKA things I wish someone had told me:

you will get hair in fun new places. this is normal and fine.

these places include (but are not limited to) if you don't already have them: your asscrack, your back, your ears, and moles. it's fine.

some of you, dick or not, will also lose hair. this is normal, but also if you have ovaries maybe get this checked out for PCOS.

your acne will probably change. some people get better. some people get worse. it's fine.

your nails will probably get an infection or a fungus at least once in your life. this is fine. (but also let your doc know).

how you gain and lose fat and where you do so will change. this is fine.

how you smell will change. this is fine. (fishy or rotten smells mean doctor time though)

if you have a prostate: it gets harder to pee. prostates enlarge as you age (get this checked regularly). this is fine.

if you do not have a prostate: it gets easier to pee but not in a good way. as in as you get older, your pelvic floor muscles tend to lose some of their strength. this makes it harder to keep pee in. this is fine.

all breasts and pectorals eventually sag, with the rest of your body. this is fine.

a decent percent of the population will experience a cyst at least once. some of you will make up for the rest with multiple. this is fine, but keep them checked out by a doctor. (sometimes this is a condition! get checked for that too!)

almost half of everyone gets hemorrhoids. it's a good idea to just expect them since your chances of getting them get higher the older you are. your toilet will look like a murder scene. definitely get your booty checked out BUT this is almost always perfectly normal. just eat more fiber. "but I already-" eat more fiber. and maybe suck it up and buy some hemorrhoid cream, you'll thank me later.

yes, this means you will probably need to make an appointment for a doctor to see your butthole. it's okay. not only do they really not care but 1. they've seen weirder that day and 2. they'd far rather you see them now than later when it's been going on for forty years and now it might be colon cancer. it's okay. consider it a rite of passage.

adults need more sleep than children. don't believe the myth that you need less than they do. that is capitalist propaganda to make you give up more of your life to the work grind, comrade.

vitamins and medicine, something you are more likely to take as you get older, sometimes make the toilet turn weird colors. it's okay.

if you still have your tonsils and get those little stones and get sore throats more than once a year you should plan on getting those suckers out before the tonsils cause an infection and go septic. if you're getting stones at all you should get those reevaluated every year, especially if the stones are bigger than a needlehead (or get bigger over time). it's gross and yucky. I don't care. get them looked at before you end up in the hospital.

you'll probably need to add foot support to your shoes if you don't already do. this is fine.

your body changes. sometimes it can feel sorta weird and upsetting that it isn't what it used to be. that is okay, and it is okay to be upset. just know that this is normal, it's normal to be upset or not upset, but don't let it hinder your quality of life. trans or cis, there is a certain level of acceptance you just gotta give your body and forgive your body for as you get older. it's okay.

it's okay. I promise.

Ageless Zen's Organic Skincare: A Natural Path to Radiant, Youthful Skin

In the modern age, skincare enthusiasts are becoming more conscious about the ingredients they put on their skin. The demand for natural, organic, and sustainable products is on the rise, with Ageless Zen emerging as a brand that fully embraces this trend. Ageless zens organic, with its commitment to organic ingredients and holistic skincare solutions, offers a line of products that cater to individuals looking for effective, gentle, and environmentally-friendly skincare.

A Commitment to Pure, Organic Ingredients

One of the most appealing aspects of Ageless Zen’s products is the focus on organic ingredients that are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic additives. In contrast to conventional skincare products, which often contain parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrances, Ageless Zen uses naturally derived ingredients to ensure that each product nourishes, rejuvenates, and enhances skin health without causing harm. The brand’s selection of plant-based ingredients, including aloe vera, green tea, chamomile, and essential oils, are known for their soothing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant-rich properties.

For individuals with sensitive skin, organic skincare is especially beneficial. Ageless Zen’s gentle formulations help to minimize the risk of irritation, redness, and other adverse reactions, making it a suitable choice for all skin types. By using pure botanicals and avoiding synthetic fillers, Ageless Zen provides a skincare experience that harmonizes with the natural balance of the skin, enhancing its texture and appearance without disrupting its microbiome.

The Science of Ageless Zen: Targeting Skin Health at Its Core

Beyond the organic label, Ageless Zen is grounded in science-based skincare, incorporating ingredients known to have proven benefits for the skin’s health and longevity. The brand’s focus is on tackling the root causes of skin aging, such as oxidative stress, dehydration, and loss of elasticity. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and peptides are commonly found in Ageless Zen’s product line, each playing a critical role in preserving and restoring skin’s youthful glow.

Hyaluronic acid, for example, is a key ingredient in many Ageless Zen products. Known for its exceptional hydrating capabilities, it helps retain moisture, plumping the skin and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Vitamin C, on the other hand, works as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals that cause premature aging and promoting an even skin tone. Together, these ingredients create a dynamic duo that not only addresses current skin concerns but also prevents future damage.

Sustainable and Ethical Practices

Ageless Zen goes beyond just delivering results—it cares about the planet, too. The brand is committed to sustainability, using eco-friendly packaging and sourcing ingredients responsibly. By reducing waste and embracing recyclable materials, Ageless Zen ensures that its environmental footprint remains minimal. This dedication appeals to eco-conscious consumers who want their skincare choices to align with their values.

Moreover, Ageless Zen is cruelty-free, meaning none of its products are tested on animals. This ethical approach to skincare resonates with customers who prioritize compassion in their purchasing decisions.

How Ageless Zen Fits into a Holistic Skincare Routine

Incorporating Ageless zen organic products into a daily skincare regimen is straightforward and effective. Their product line includes everything from cleansers and toners to serums and moisturizers, allowing for a complete skincare routine. Start with a gentle cleanser to remove impurities, followed by a hydrating toner to balance the skin’s pH. Applying a vitamin C serum in the morning boosts skin’s natural defenses, while a nighttime routine with a peptide-rich moisturizer helps with skin regeneration and repair during sleep.

Conclusion: Embrace Ageless Zen for Natural, Lasting Beauty

Ageless Zen is more than just a skincare brand; it represents a lifestyle that values purity, sustainability, and conscious beauty choices. By choosing Ageless Zen, consumers can enjoy the benefits of natural, science-backed ingredients without compromising on results or ethics. For those seeking radiant, youthful skin, Ageless Zen offers a pathway to ageless beauty through nature’s own remedies.

Application: Apply the paste to your hair, working it through from roots to tips with a brush or fingers. Ensure all grey areas are well-covered.

Setting Time: Leave the dye in your hair for 1 to 3 hours, depending on the desired shade. Cover with a shower cap to avoid drying out.

Natural Skin Care Routine: Quick Start Guide

A natural skin care routine uses ingredients without harmful chemicals.

Cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing are the core steps.

Natural oils and plant-based products nourish and protect the skin.

Simple, consistent routines lead to healthier skin.

Patch testing prevents potential skin reactions.

Introduction

Natural skin care focuses on using ingredients from nature that are free from synthetic additives.

These products are typically gentler on the skin and offer long-term benefits without the risk of irritation that can come from harsh chemicals.

This guide outlines a simple, natural routine that anyone can follow for healthier, more radiant skin.

Core Steps in a Natural Skin Care Routine

Cleansing

Cleansing is the first step in any skin care routine. It removes dirt, oil, and impurities that accumulate on the skin throughout the day.

A gentle, natural cleanser—like honey or coconut oil—cleanses without stripping the skin of its natural oils, leaving it clean but still hydrated.

Exfoliating

Exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores and cause dullness. Natural exfoliants like sugar, oatmeal, or ground coffee provide gentle exfoliation without causing micro-tears or irritation.

Exfoliating 1-2 times a week keeps the skin smooth and fresh.

Toning

A toner helps to balance the skin’s pH and tighten pores. Natural toners such as witch hazel or rose water are excellent choices as they soothe the skin while preparing it to absorb moisturizers better.

Moisturizing

Moisturizing is essential to keep the skin hydrated and protected. Natural moisturizers like shea butter, jojoba oil, or aloe vera deliver deep hydration and lock in moisture.

These ingredients nourish the skin, helping to maintain its elasticity and softness.

Sun Protection

Even with a natural skin care routine, protecting your skin from the sun is critical. Natural sunscreens with zinc oxide provide effective protection without harmful chemicals, guarding against premature aging and sun damage.

Specialized Treatments

Acne-Prone Skin

For acne-prone skin, natural ingredients like tea tree oil or clay masks can help manage breakouts. These ingredients have antibacterial properties that can reduce inflammation and clear pores without over-drying the skin.

Anti-Aging

Natural anti-aging ingredients include vitamin C, plant-based retinol alternatives, and hyaluronic acid. These help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and boost elasticity over time.

Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin benefits from hypoallergenic, fragrance-free natural products. Ingredients such as chamomile, calendula, or oat extract can calm irritation and reduce redness, making them ideal for easily irritated skin.

Additional Natural Skin Care Tips

Patch Testing New Products

Before applying a new product to your face, it’s important to patch test. Apply a small amount of the product to a discreet area of your skin, like the inside of your wrist, and wait 24 hours to see if any reaction occurs.

This simple step can prevent potential irritation or allergic reactions.

Consistency and Patience

Consistency is key in any skin care routine. Natural products may take time to show results, but with regular use, they can lead to significant improvements in skin health.

Patience is important, as natural ingredients work with your skin’s natural processes rather than providing quick fixes.

Conclusion

A natural skin care routine offers a gentle and effective way to care for your skin. By using simple, plant-based ingredients, you can achieve a healthy, glowing complexion while avoiding the potential harm from synthetic chemicals. Stick with your routine, and over time, you’ll likely see noticeable improvements in your skin’s health and appearance.

FAQs

What are the benefits of using natural skin care products?

Keep Your Pool Pristine: Expert Pool Cleaning Services in Palm Coast

Owning a pool in Palm Coast brings the pleasure of refreshing dips, relaxing swims, and quality time with friends and family. However, maintaining that crystal-clear water and ensuring a safe, clean environment requires regular, diligent care. That’s where professional pool cleaning services come in. With expert pool care, you can leave the upkeep to the pros and simply enjoy your pool worry-free. Here’s a closer look at why pool cleaning services are essential, what they include, and how they enhance your pool experience.

Why Pool Cleaning Services Are Essential

Over time, pools naturally collect debris, bacteria, and algae. Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of unwanted particles that can cloud your pool water and damage equipment. Beyond aesthetic appeal, a clean pool is also vital for health. Without routine cleaning, pools can harbor bacteria and algae, increasing the risk of skin irritations, eye infections, and other health issues.

In addition to promoting health, regular cleaning also extends the life of your pool and its equipment. By keeping filters, pumps, and heaters free of buildup, you can avoid premature breakdowns and costly repairs. Regular maintenance by professionals helps you detect issues early, saving you from larger problems down the line.

What Professional Pool Cleaning Services Include

Professional pool cleaning is comprehensive and tailored to meet the specific needs of each pool. When you opt for expert pool cleaning services, here are the key elements typically included:

Debris Removal: Leaves, twigs, and other debris can quickly accumulate on the water’s surface and sink to the bottom, making it essential to remove them regularly. Pool cleaners use specialized equipment to skim, vacuum, and brush away unwanted debris, ensuring your pool looks pristine.

Water Chemistry Testing and Adjustment: The balance of chemicals in your pool is critical for keeping the water safe and comfortable. Professional services include thorough water testing to check pH, chlorine, and alkalinity levels. They adjust the chemical balance as needed, creating a pleasant swimming environment that is gentle on skin and eyes.

Algae Control and Prevention: Algae growth can be a significant issue in pools, leading to slippery surfaces and murky water. A professional cleaning team not only removes algae but also takes preventative steps to keep it from coming back, ensuring your pool remains clear.

Filter and Pump Maintenance: The pool’s filter and pump play a crucial role in circulation, which is key to keeping the water fresh and clean. Professionals inspect, clean, and maintain these components, allowing them to operate efficiently. This regular maintenance also reduces wear and tear on essential pool equipment.

Tile and Surface Cleaning: Dirt, grime, and calcium deposits can build up along the waterline and on pool surfaces. Expert pool cleaning includes scrubbing tiles and surfaces, restoring their original shine and preventing long-term damage caused by mineral buildup.

The Benefits of Hiring a Pool Cleaning Service

Choosing professional pool cleaning services offers several advantages beyond convenience:

Time Savings: Maintaining a pool can be time-consuming, especially if you lack the proper equipment or knowledge. By outsourcing, you free up valuable time to enjoy the pool without the hassle of cleaning it.

Professional Expertise: Trained pool cleaners understand the nuances of maintaining optimal water quality and preventing issues before they arise. Their expertise translates into better care and longer-lasting equipment.

Health and Safety: Ensuring that your pool’s water is clean, balanced, and safe for swimming is critical. Professionals ensure proper chemical levels, which keeps the water sanitary and minimizes the risk of skin or eye irritations.

Cost Savings: Regular maintenance reduces the likelihood of costly repairs. Catching small issues before they become major problems can save significant expenses on repairs and replacements.

Trust Palm Coast Experts for Your Pool Cleaning Needs

How a Swimming Pool Cleaning Service Keeps Your Pool Safe and Clean for Swimmers ➖

1. Maintains Proper Chemical Balance

Swimming pool cleaning services regularly test and adjust the chemical levels in your pool, including chlorine, pH, alkalinity, and calcium hardness. Proper chemical balance prevents the growth of bacteria and algae, which could pose health risks to swimmers and damage pool equipment.

2. Removes Dirt, Debris, and Contaminants

Regular skimming, vacuuming, and scrubbing are essential to keep the pool free of leaves, dirt, and other debris. A professional pool cleaning service can also ensure the removal of oils, lotions, and other contaminants that build up over time, leading to cloudy water or staining.

3. Prevents Algae Growth

Algae blooms can turn a pool green and make surfaces slippery and dangerous. Pool cleaners use a combination of algaecides, scrubbing, and shock treatments to keep algae at bay, maintaining clear and safe water.

4. Inspects and Maintains Filtration System

The pool’s filtration system is crucial for removing fine particles and contaminants. Pool cleaning professionals inspect, clean, and replace filters as needed, ensuring they work efficiently to circulate clean water and prevent blockages that could impact pool health.

5. Checks Pool Equipment for Safety

A professional service often includes a safety inspection of pool equipment like pumps, heaters, and timers. This inspection helps identify potential hazards, ensuring all equipment operates safely and reducing the risk of accidents.

6. Cleans Pool Walls, Steps, and Ladders

Algae and bacteria often settle on pool surfaces, especially in hard-to-reach areas. Regular scrubbing of walls, steps, and ladders by a professional reduces the risk of slips, falls, and infections from dirty surfaces.

7. Provides Routine Shock Treatments

Shock treatments are essential to keep water disinfected, especially after heavy usage or during hot weather. These high doses of chlorine kill bacteria and algae instantly, and pool professionals know how to use them effectively without over-chlorinating.

8. Ensures a Healthier Swimming Environment

By handling all aspects of swimming pool maintenance, a cleaning service creates a healthier environment for swimmers, reducing the risk of skin irritations, eye infections, and respiratory issues caused by improperly maintained pools.

9. Offers Peace of Mind for Pool Owners

Knowing that a professional swimming pool cleaning service is consistently managing these safety and cleanliness aspects gives pool owners peace of mind. Regular maintenance not only protects swimmers but also enhances the pool’s longevity and aesthetic.

The Secret Behind Freshness Natural Deodorants that Love Your Sensitive Skin

In the world of personal care, natural deodorants are gaining popularity. Thanks to a shift towards eco-friendly and skin-friendly products, more people with sensitive skin are exploring these alternatives. For those who are conscious of ingredient labels and sustainability, understanding the components of natural deodorant can be empowering.

Why Choose Natural Deodorants?

Natural deodorants have become a go-to for people seeking to reduce chemical exposure. Unlike conventional deodorants, they are free from aluminum and parabens, which are often linked to skin irritation. They offer an eco-friendly approach to personal care, providing peace of mind for those who prioritize health and the environment.

Many people with sensitive skin find natural deodorant to be a gentler alternative. These products often contain familiar ingredients, like coconut oil or aloe vera, that are less likely to cause adverse reactions. Plus, with a focus on transparency, brands frequently provide detailed ingredient lists, making it easier for consumers to make informed choices.

In addition to being gentle on the skin, natural deodorant often supports overall well-being. The absence of harsh chemicals means less stress on your body's detoxification processes, which can have positive long-term health effects.

Understanding the Basics of Natural Deodorants

Before choosing a natural deodorant, it's useful to understand how they works. Unlike antiperspirants that block sweat glands, natural deodorant doesn't stop you from sweating. Instead, they neutralize odor with ingredients that help absorb moisture.

The primary function of natural deodorant is odor control. They use natural substances to combat odor-causing bacteria, ensuring you stay fresh throughout the day. This approach respects the body's natural processes, offering protection without interfering with sweating.

Sweating is a natural and necessary bodily function. By not blocking sweat, natural deodorant allows the body to regulate temperature and expel toxins. This is a crucial factor for those with sensitive skin, as it reduces the risk of blocked pores and irritation.

Common Ingredients in Natural Deodorants

When exploring natural deodorant, you'll notice a variety of ingredients designed to cater to sensitive skin. Understanding these components can help you make the best choice for your needs.

Baking Soda - A Natural Odor Neutralizer

Baking soda is a popular ingredient in natural deodorant due to its ability to neutralize odors. It's a powerful, natural deodorant that combats bacteria, keeping unpleasant smells at bay. However, some individuals with sensitive skin may find it too alkaline.

For those who experience irritation from baking soda, alternatives like magnesium hydroxide are available. This ingredient offers similar benefits without disrupting the skin's natural pH balance.

It's important to conduct a patch test when trying new products containing baking soda. This precaution helps determine how your skin reacts, minimizing the risk of irritation.

Essential Oils - For Fragrance and Skin Benefits

Essential oils add pleasant scents to natural deodorant while providing additional benefits. Oils like lavender, tea tree, and eucalyptus have antibacterial properties that enhance odor control. They also contribute to the product's overall aroma, offering a much-desired freshness.

Individuals with sensitive skin should be cautious with essential oils. Despite their natural origin, some can cause irritation or allergic reactions. Opting for deodorants that use gentle, hypoallergenic oils can help avoid discomfort.

When choosing a natural deodorant with essential oils, consider your scent preferences. With options ranging from floral to earthy notes, there's likely something that matches your taste and lifestyle.

Plant-Based Waxes - For Smooth Application

Plant-based waxes, such as candelilla or carnauba, help give natural deodorant their form. They allow for easy application, ensuring the product glides smoothly over the skin without leaving residue. These waxes are derived from plants, making them suitable for eco-conscious consumers.

In addition to providing structure, plant-based waxes offer moisture retention benefits. They help keep skin hydrated, which is essential for maintaining healthy, happy underarms.

For those who prioritize vegan products, plant-based waxes are an excellent choice. They provide the same benefits as beeswax without using animal-derived ingredients.

Navigating Potential Allergens

While natural deodorant is generally safe for sensitive skin, it's essential to be aware of potential allergens. Understanding what's in your deodorant can help prevent adverse reactions and ensure a positive experience.

Fragrance is a common allergen in personal care products. Even natural fragrances can trigger sensitivities, so opting for fragrance-free options may be beneficial for highly sensitive individuals.

Additionally, some natural deodorants may contain nut oils, which can be problematic for those with nut allergies. Always check ingredient labels if you have known allergies to avoid any issues.

Transitioning to Natural Deodorants

Making the switch from conventional to natural deodorant requires a period of adjustment. During this time, your body detoxifies from previous antiperspirant use, which can involve increased sweating or odor.

To ease this transition, gradually introduce your new deodorant. Start by using it every other day, allowing your body to adjust. This approach can minimize discomfort and improve overall effectiveness.

It's helpful to understand that natural deodorant may require reapplication throughout the day, especially during the transition period. Keeping your deodorant handy can ensure you're always fresh, no matter what life throws your way.

Tips for Choosing the Right Natural Deodorant

Selecting the best natural deodorant involves considering your specific needs and preferences. Factors such as skin sensitivity, scent preference, and desired ingredients all play a role in your decision.

Begin by identifying any known irritants or allergens, and seek out products that avoid these components. This proactive approach helps reduce the risk of adverse reactions.

Additionally, consider the type of application you prefer. Whether it's stick, cream, or spray, finding a format that suits your lifestyle can enhance your deodorant experience.

The Importance of Eco-Friendly Ingredients

Natural deodorants often highlight their eco-friendly ingredients, which benefit both your body and the planet. Choosing products with sustainable, responsibly sourced components aligns with the values of many eco-conscious consumers.

Sustainability encompasses more than just ingredients. Look for packaging that's recyclable or biodegradable, further reducing your environmental impact.

Supporting brands that share your commitment to eco-friendliness can have a lasting positive effect, promoting a more sustainable future for everyone.

Finding Community in Natural Deodorant Use

One surprising benefit of switching to natural deodorant is the sense of community it fosters. Many users find camaraderie in sharing tips, product recommendations, and experiences.

Engaging with like-minded individuals can provide support and encouragement, making the transition smoother. Social media platforms and online forums offer spaces to connect with others who share your passion for natural products.

By sharing your experiences and learning from others, you become part of a larger movement towards healthier, more sustainable personal care.

Staying Fresh and Confident

The ultimate goal of any deodorant is to help you feel fresh and confident throughout the day. Natural deodorant achieves this by prioritizing skin health and eco-friendliness.

Confidence stems from knowing you've made choices that align with your values. By choosing natural deodorant, you're supporting your well-being and contributing to a healthier planet.

Maintaining freshness is achievable with the right product and application routine. With a little experimentation, you're sure to find the perfect balance that keeps you feeling your best.

Conclusion

Choosing natural deodorants for sensitive skin is a wise decision that supports both personal health and environmental sustainability. By understanding the ingredients and navigating potential allergens, you can make informed choices that align with your values.

The transition to natural deodorant may take time and patience, but the benefits far outweigh the challenges. With the right product, you'll enjoy a fresh, confident feeling that lasts all day.

Oily Skin Moisturizer: Your Guide to Choosing the Best Options

Managing oily skin can be challenging, especially when it comes to hydration. Many people believe that oily skin doesn't need moisturizing, but that misconception can lead to increased oiliness and breakouts. The right moisturizer for oily skin helps maintain balance, providing essential hydration without clogging pores or causing excessive shine. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding oily skin moisturizers and how to select the best products for your skin type.

Understanding Oily Skin

Oily skin is characterized by an overproduction of sebum, the natural oil produced by the skin. This often leads to a shiny appearance, enlarged pores, and an increased likelihood of acne and blemishes. While it’s crucial to control excess oil, it’s equally important to hydrate the skin. When oily skin lacks moisture, it can trigger an increase in oil production as a compensatory mechanism. Therefore, incorporating a suitable moisturizer is essential for maintaining healthy skin.

Key Ingredients to Look For

When selecting a moisturizer for oily skin, certain ingredients can help control oil production while providing hydration. Here are some beneficial components to consider:

1. Water-Based Formulas

Water-based moisturizers are lightweight and absorb quickly into the skin, making them ideal for oily skin types. These formulas hydrate without adding excess oil, helping to keep the skin balanced.

2. Gel Consistency

Gel moisturizers are another excellent option for oily skin. They provide a refreshing feel and often contain ingredients that help control shine. Gel-based products are typically oil-free and are absorbed rapidly, leaving a matte finish.

3. Non-Comedogenic Ingredients

Choosing non-comedogenic products is vital for preventing clogged pores. Look for moisturizers specifically labeled as non-comedogenic, which means they won’t contribute to acne or breakouts.

4. Salicylic Acid

Salicylic acid is a powerful ingredient that helps unclog pores and reduce acne. Including this in your moisturizer can provide additional acne-fighting benefits while hydrating the skin.

5. Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a hydrating powerhouse that attracts moisture to the skin. It’s lightweight and non-greasy, making it an excellent choice for oily skin. This ingredient helps keep the skin hydrated without adding oiliness.

6. Niacinamide

Niacinamide, or vitamin B3, is a versatile ingredient known for its ability to regulate sebum production and minimize enlarged pores. It also helps improve skin texture and can reduce redness, making it a great addition to an oily skin moisturizer.

Tips for Applying Moisturizer

Applying moisturizer correctly can make a significant difference in how your skin reacts to the product. Here are some tips for effective application:

1. Cleanse First

Always start with a clean face. Use a gentle cleanser to remove excess oil and impurities. This step helps prepare the skin for better absorption of the moisturizer.

2. Use a Toner

If you use a toner, apply it after cleansing and before your moisturizer. A toner can help remove any remaining oil and balance the skin's pH, enhancing the effectiveness of the moisturizer.

3. Apply to Damp Skin

Applying moisturizer to slightly damp skin can help lock in moisture. This technique enhances hydration levels, making the moisturizer more effective.

4. Use a Small Amount

A little goes a long way with moisturizers. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. Over-application can lead to greasiness and may clog pores.

Choosing the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin

When shopping for an oily skin moisturizer, consider your unique skin concerns. For example, if you struggle with acne, look for products with salicylic acid or other acne-fighting ingredients. If your skin feels dehydrated but oily, opt for gel-based formulas with hyaluronic acid.

Always patch test new products to ensure they do not cause breakouts or irritation. If you’re unsure which moisturizer is right for you, consult with a dermatologist for personalized recommendations.

Conclusion

Finding the right moisturizer for oily skin is crucial for maintaining a balanced complexion. By selecting the right ingredients and following proper application techniques, you can keep your skin hydrated without exacerbating oiliness. With the right moisturizer by Awear Beauty, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin that feels comfortable and looks its best.
