Hi! I know it's just a hobby, but you seem to know a lot about skincare. I wanted to start an anti-aging/wrinkle sort of skincare regime but there are so many products with so many ingredients, and I was wondering (if you have the time) if you could give me any advice about where to start. I feel like I saw you answer a similar question sometime last year, but I can't remember how it was tagged. Thanks!

Hey! No problem! I’m going to link you to a couple of posts but also start you off with some general tips.

1) any skincare regimen starts with cleaning, full stop. I make some recs in the linked posts below. Typically if you’re going the Kbeauty route, that means a double-cleanse (oil cleanser plus traditional foaming/face wash) at least at night after you’ve been in the muck, worn moisturizer, sunscreen, maybe cosmetics. I also do that in the morning, but other people with better skin than I do a cool multi splash water rinse, or a 1 step foaming wash only in the morning. because I tend to do a night skincare regiment with a kind of heavy end to it, I like to do the double cleanse in the morning to be sure it’s all gone when I start my day. 

2) any anti-aging skincare starts with prevention, follows through with hydration, and treats with targeted ingredients to slow and hide signs–you’re looking for the top 5-6 ingredients in a list. 

Prevention: sunscreen–knowing that lots of sunscreens are misleading and that cosmetic spfs are essentially flat out lies, I recommend French, Japanese, or Korean sunscreens. My favorite is Biore’s UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence-It has a 50+SPF and PA++++ -you can get 3 tubes for $30 on ebay. It has little to no white cast and feels like moisturizer (x). I encourage others with fab recs to add. I fell in love with this and never looked further but I imagine there are other amazing products out there. Hat when you can. Sunglasses with UVA/B protection, both to prevent squint lines and discoloration of the whites of your eyes that can occur from excessive sun exposure-I have some orange spots in my whites from this. 

Hydration: Quench that skin to keep it healthy and plump it. Obvs part of that is drinking lots of water, but as for ingredients/products, Hyaluronic acid is your friend! It helps your skin hold and retain moisture and also your other products. A great thing to put on after toning. Hadalabo makes extremely effective nice on the skin Hyaluronic acid essence in a regular $11 (x) and premium $15(x) version. To get an idea of how much you’re getting for $15, this is 170ml:

Also, though it works for all sorts of issues (brightening, irritation, acne, anti-aging), SNAILS ARE MAGIC. Mizon’s all in one snail repair cream was super moisturizing for me, and so were Leader’s Insolution sheet masks, both of which are linked in the massive product link below. 

Finally, the specifically anti-aging products. Okay, first the ingredients you want to look for, regardless of products, then we’ll talk specific products I like or am pretty excited to use. ingredients: Peptides–in the ingredients list you want ideally more than one word with “peptide” in the compound, and the higher up in the ingredients list, the better. Peptides are most effective in combination with other peptides (different molecular weights, targeting different depths of the skin, like hyaluronic acid, I believe), so aim for more than two, suing a great combo product or a couple of products with different peptides. Niacinamide–(x) a skin brightener. Adenosine–soothes and helps restore skin. rosehip oil– (x) great for fine lines, esp. around eyes. Marula oil is also often cited as anti-aging, and I like it a lot on my skin. DO NOT pay Drunk Elephant prices for it unless you are made of money (x)

retinol–helps diminish appearance of fine lines over time, can be somewhat harsh–you can also look in to the Ordinary’s retinoids (x), which they claim are just as, if not more effective, without the flaky skin

Vitamin C, most effectively in a cocktail with vit E and ferulic acid–it’s an expensive world out there. Sadly it is often super unstable, it oxidizes and then it’s kind of ineffective. Keep out of light, heat and contact with air. I’m personally liking Maelove’s vit C/E/Ferulic acid serum $28 (x)

OKAY. so those are some of the ingredients to look for, what are some of the products? I’d recommend for peptides, some of these: 

Leader’s wrinkle tox masks, which I link in the last link. They’re awesome. I recommend using them once a night for at least a month then you can back off to once every other night for 2 or three months and then go back to every night for a month. Or you can be ridiculous like me and just make it your daily ritual unless you think your skin has had too much. 

It’s pricey, but if you’re a sephora insider or  VIB you might want to try Drunk Elephant’s protini polypeptide cream during their November sale for 15-20% off that $68 tag (x). NGL I think DE is massively overpriced for a lot of their line but I did shell out for the protini and I don’t really regret it. If I find a good dupe/alternative though, I’m out. 

The Ordinary’s Buffet $15 (x) is a nice multipeptide serum, and there’s a pricier version with copper peptides for $29 (x)

I’ve also started using a sample of Biossance’s cult squalene+ vit C rose oil which is beloved for supposedly being a miracle product for skin of all types as well as for helping with fine lines, but again, I’m waiting for the November sephora sale when I can get $20% off that $72 price (x).

The monster post with product links and all the steps with advice, and updates on products and preferences (x)

So I hope that wasn’t overwhelming or too general. If there’s a specific thing I can help with, let me know. I’m really not an expert but I can do my best with what I’m familiar with.

PROPERTIES & USAGES THAT MAKE CARDAMOM OIL UNIQUE

Hello friends, I hope you all are fit and fine and enjoying at home with my articles. It is time to read one more article written particularly for you all. So firstly tell me did you ever thought what makes any essential oil unique? We have till now dealt with several essential oils. If you know then it’s great as I have come across this in earlier blogs. If not let me tell you each essential oil consist of different class of chemical compounds which imparts the oil with therapeutic properties.

For instance, Rose oil is rich in Geraniol and Citronella which is responsible for the rosy fragrance of oil and other notable properties. Similarly today we will deal with Cardamom oil and will tell you what makes this essential oil unique. We will also discuss in what ways you can utilize Cardamom oil.

So without thinking twice, come along with me to explore this blog. I will quickly give you a short introduction of Cardamom oil.

Short Introduction of Cardamom oil:

Cardamom has earned itself a high reputation and is one of the world’s ancient spices. Its familiarity and usage is common in Indian kitchens as it imparts an aroma that is delightful. It grows wild in the forests of Western Ghats and is native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. It is a beloved spice in Asian, Middle Eastern, and European culinary dishes irrespective of its high price.

It was used by ancient Egyptians and Arabs as a go-to remedy for tooth cleaning and the digestive system. Greeks and Romans utilized it as a perfume because of its fragrance. The cardamom oil is extracted from the seeds of fruit using steam distillation. The oil is rich in chemical compounds which impart properties that make it so valuable. Its use in the medicinal and food industry is immense. This is why today we are going to quickly look into the uniqueness enjoyed by Cardamom oil.

Uniqueness of Cardamom oil:

As I said uniqueness of essential oil lies in their chemical composition. Cardamom oil contains chemical compounds like cineol, alpha-terpineol, myrcene and limonene which are accountable for valuable properties possessed by Cardamom oil. These properties include antiseptic, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immunity booster etc. Let us see them in context of Cardamom oil.

Antiseptic: It is no wonder that cardamom oil has antiseptic properties in it. Cardamom seeds have always been chewed to avoid the bad odor of the mouth. The oil of seeds fulfills the same purpose. It helps to keep germs at bay. It can also be added to drinking water to eliminate the germs in it. The application of oil in food is also common as it protects food from microbial spoilage. In can even in incorporated in bath water to disinfect hair and skin.

Antioxidant: The cardamom oil has in it a very beneficial antioxidant property. This property of oil helps to fight against free radicals that generate in the body. The property of antioxidants has been linked with lower blood pressure. This has been concluded by research.

Anti-inflammatory: Cardamom oil also has in it anti-inflammatory property which is because of the composition of oil which fights against inflammation. It thus helps protect body if it is attacked by foreign substances.

Immunity booster: Cardamom oil is an excellent source of minerals. Thus it helps to boosts overall immunity of the body. The oils iron and copper content is important for cellular energy metabolism and for the generation of red blood corpuscles (RBC’s). The oil also contains potassium in it that is helpful in maintaining cardiovascular health. It also has manganese in it that enhances the antioxidant property of the object. This way cardamom oil boosts the overall immunity of the body.

Antimicrobial: Because of the powerful anti-oxidant property, this oil has the potential to deal with harmful microorganisms and even decrease their growth. This quality of oil can be utilized in the preservation of food and beverages. The use of cardamom in cosmetics especially mouth wash is a trend because it improves oral hygiene by killing germs and it also eliminates bad breath.

Stimulant: Essential oils have their effect on the overall health of the body. The wonderful middle note spicy aroma of cardamom oil holds the potential to overcome depression and fatigue. In addition to that, it energizes the secretion of many enzymes and hormones, gastric juices, circulation as well as excretion. Therefore it maintains the overall metabolic action of the body.

Diuretic: This property of oil is also very beneficial in treating various bodily defects. The use of cardamom oil encourages urination. This will help an individual lose weight, lower blood pressure. This is also effective against eliminating toxins as well as clean calcium and urea deposits through kidneys.

Antispasmodic: Essential oils have always been in rescue from muscular spasms. Cardamom oil too holds the antispasmodic properties that provide relief from muscular and respiratory spasms. This ultimately gives relief from muscle pulls and cramps, asthma and also whooping cough.

Stomachic: Cardamom oil stimulates the overall digestive system of the body and that too in a positive way. In addition, it is stomachic naturally that is it promotes the appetite and assists digestion. It plays a key role in keeping the stomach healthy. It helps to keep up with the secretion of gastric juices, bile juices, and acids within the stomach. In short, cardamom oil aids in digestion and also safeguards the stomach from infections.

Aphrodisiac: Cardamom is a well known aromatic spice. Various cultures claim that cardamom oil has in it powerful aphrodisiac qualities, that can help to treat impotence. It also helps to heal sexual weakness, erectile dysfunction, lack of libido and frigidity. The oil is rich in eucalyptol that actually increases blood flow in areas where it is applied.

Cardamom oil has a multitude of benefits, a glimpse of which can be found in the properties mentioned above. For detailed benefits of Cardamom oil, I would suggest you to read my previous article to get a deep insight of it on aromapedia.

Now we will move on to our segment where I will enlist some ways of using Cardamom essential oil. This section has been added to make it easy for you to adopt this magnificent essential oil in your life.

Utilization of Cardamom oil:

The utilization of essential oil simply tells you in what ways you can use the essential oil. So here I am mentioning some ways by which you can use Cardamom oil. Please note dilution of Cardamom oil in a Carrier oil and its patch test is a must before using oil. This is done to avoid any allergic reaction.

1) Cardamom oil in Diffuser: It can be used in a diffuser to get benefit from its spicy aroma that energizes and relaxes the body. Add 3-4 drops of oil in a diffuser and breathe the aroma to induce relaxation after a tough day. The immunity system of body can also strengthen by diffusing cardamom oil. This can really be helpful in cold and flu season.

Coconut oil is mostly preferred carrier oil.

Cardamom oil + Coconut oil = Antispasmodic properties

3) Cardamom oil in Aromatherapy blend: Cardamom oil blends well with other essential oils like Orange, Rose, and Eucalyptus oil so it can be mixed with them and applied. Cardamom oil weight loss diffuser blend can be prepared with help of other essential oils like grapefruit and cinnamon. This can be diffused to enjoy the aroma and get benefits.

Cardamom oil + Orange oil = Aromatherapy blend

4) Cardamom oil for bad breath: Cardamom oil can also be used to get rid of bad mouth odor. For this application, mix 2 drops cardamom oil to tablespoons of water. Swish in your mouth for 30 seconds before spitting and rinsing.

Cardamom oil + Water = overcome bad breath

8) Add few drops of cardamom oil with water, this mixture can be used for washing face. This will help to disinfect skin and get rid of skin aliments.

9) Cardamom oil can also be massaged on stomach, this will help to overcome problem of stomach pain and bloating.

Conclusion:

I hope you find the article helpful and will be waiting to hear from you in comment section. Do share your views.

oh THIS is probably what happens with copper too i’m guessing, as per my long question i wrote you that you are under no obligation to answer, i got a bit overexcited and didn’t realize you’d probably receive a lot more (’:

i LOVE flame painting copper and wish i was better at it, the best artists have the time for each color down to muscle memory since it’s a delayed reaction, you take the torch off it and then the color appears properly. my problem is that copper oxidizes so fast that the colors dull or change quickly and since the color itself is an oxide that’s so thin, even pouring resin over it would destroy the effect!

but i have heard good things about and met an artist who used renaissance wax; she also sold anodized titanium and her stuff was gorgeous, it looked freshly painted! so that’s a possible solution that i haven’t tried yet because that wax isn’t cheap lol

in case we’re sharing i also want to bring up my favorite optical phenomenon, which is high pleochroism in gemstones! so far i know of 3 in which it tends to be fairly obvious:

alexandrite, which shifts all the way from magenta to green with shades of purple and blue in between

tanzanite, deep blue to lilac

Oregon sunstone, and please watch this video just for the music lmao. not all specimens exhibit pleochroism, which in this case is caused by inclusions of my beloved copper, which is sometimes too large and dense to create the cloudy nebula-like color you see in gem-quality stones. i wouldn’t be as impressed with these except i’ve seen them in person and the transition from yellow to green, red/pink to orange, and even peach to green is STUNNING 

and now i’ll stop before i go on a tangent about feldspar hahaha

You said ask metal questions so here goes: Why do knives permanently change color when u stick them in a candle?

Ah my friend, you have activated my trap card

And by trap card I mean another special interest of mine

The discoloration you see here comes from my favorite optical phenomenon (we all have one, right?), thin-film interference. The Wikipedia article linked in the last sentence does a good job explaining it, but I’m gonna do it here anyway because infodumping is my M.O.

When white light (all colors mixed) strikes a reflective surface that has a thin transparent layer on top of it, the incoming light gets split—some of it reflects off of the top of the thin layer, and some passes through the layer and reflects off of the base surface, passes back through the layer and then back out.

(Image from Wikipedia)

This means that the light that went through the thin layer and back out traveled a slightly longer distance than the light that bounced off the top of the thin layer. That extra distance means that the peaks and valleys of the light waves are now shifted off from each other. This shift results in constructive interference (peaks lining up with peaks, valleys lining up with valleys, causing them to reinforce each other) for some wavelengths (colors) and destructive interference (peaks lining up with valleys, causing them to cancel out) in others.

(Image from Wikipedia)

So now instead of getting white light (all colors mixed, no distinct color), you get only certain colors of light, and those colors are controlled by the thickness of the film. This is because the thickness affects the extra distance the light passing through and back has to travel, and thus how much shift there is, and thus which wavelengths get enhanced and which ones get canceled.

On metals that discolor in this way, the thin film is a layer of metal oxide (formed by heating the metal with a candle, torch, etc) that’s thin enough for light to pass through it. The reason the colors stop after blue on steel/iron is that the thickness required for that blue is the thickest the film can be without becoming opaque—any further growth of this layer and light can’t pass through anymore, ending the phenomenon.

So! The colors you see on heat-tinted metal are the same as the ones on a soap bubble, oil on a wet road, and many other things. The reason these objects have a spectrum of colors is because the thin-film thickness is varying—in the video above I heated one end more than the other, making a thicker oxide layer at the hot side.

Because visible light has wavelengths on the order of 100’s of nanometers, it doesn’t take a huge change in thickness (10’s of nanometers) to get different colors, which is why on a soap bubble or oil film, the colors go nuts

Finally (I promise), this same phenomenon of thin-film interference is where titanium can get all of its wild colors. The metal can get anodized, which is applying an electric voltage to the piece to deliberately grow an oxide layer on the surface—the voltage applied controls the thickness of the layer, which in turn creates the colors.
