Vitamin C Hautpflege

Vitamin C Hautpfle Vitamin C wird von Dermatologen und anderen Hautspezialisten zusammen mit Sonnenschutzmitteln, Retinol und einem sanften Reinigungsmittel häufig als eine der vorteilhaftesten Komponenten einer Hautpflegeroutine genannt, und das aus gutem Grund. Obwohl es inzwischen in vielen Gesichtsmasken, Tonern, Sprays und Feuchtigkeitscremes enthalten ist, ist ein starkes Serum immer noch die effizienteste Methode, um der Haut das bekannte Antioxidans zuzuführen. Im Gegensatz dazu ist Vitamin C eine unfreundliche Substanz, die sich nur schwer "managen" lässt, da sie z. B. mit Luft und Licht reagiert. Alles, was Sie brauchen, um das bekannte Beauty-Multitalent in Ihr Hautpflegeprogramm einzubauen, haben wir hier für Sie zusammengestellt.

Vitamin C Hautpflege Wie kann ich Vitamin C optimal nutzen? Corinthian und Travis empfehlen die Einnahme von Vitamin C zusammen mit einem geeigneten Sonnenschutzmittel, das UVA- und UVB-Strahlen blockiert, um den besten Schutz vor Umweltreizen zu gewährleisten. Die tägliche Einnahme von beidem, so Travis, "verringert nachweislich die Anzeichen vorzeitiger Alterung. How does vitamin C work? Vitamin C, auch als Ascorbinsäure bezeichnet, ist in vielen Lebensmitteln und Nahrungsergänzungsmitteln enthalten. Es muss jedoch nicht unbedingt mit der Nahrung aufgenommen werden, um eine positive Wirkung auf den Körper zu haben: Äußerlich angewendetes Vitamin C hat eine lange Tradition in der Unterstützung gesunder Haut. Welche Auswirkungen hat Vitamin C auf die Haut? Vitamin C is crucial, says Christopher Corinthian, a chemist working on development for Avon. Free radicals, which this potent antioxidant combats, are what cause ageing. For instance, air pollution may be to blame. According to Nicolas Travis, a skincare expert and the founder of Allies of Skin, these environmental variables promote inflammation, which is thought to be the root of a number of skin issues, such as acne, a lack of collagen, and excessive melanin production. Da Vitamin C auch das Gesicht aufhellt, kann seine regelmäßige Einnahme zu einem ebenmäßigeren Teint führen. Vitamin C kann das Auftreten schwarzer Flecken reduzieren, indem es die Produktion von mehr Melanin in der Haut einschränkt, so Travis. "Die tägliche Einnahme fördert das Wachstum eines strahlenden Teints. Die Chemikalie kann auch die Kollagensynthese anregen. Laut Travis nimmt die altersbedingte Kollagenproduktion ab. Vitamin C hilft, die bestehende Haut zu erhalten und beschädigte Zellen zu reparieren, um die Haut jünger aussehen zu lassen, sagt er.

Vitamin C Hautpflege Welche Form von Vitamin C ist die beste? Während viele Produkte auf der Vorderseite mit Vitamin C werben, ist es laut Corinthian nur möglich, anhand des Etiketts auf der Rückseite festzustellen, ob ein Produkt reines Vitamin C enthält. "Avon ANEW Serum mit Vitamin C ($40,00) enthält 10 % reines Vitamin C, auch bekannt als Ascorbinsäure. Einige Produkte, die Vitamin C enthalten sollen, enthalten nur ein Vitamin-C-Derivat, wie z. B. Ascorbylpalmitat. Diese Vitaminformen bieten nicht so viel Schutz wie reines Vitamin C. Kunden entscheiden sich häufig für The Ordinary's Ethylated Ascorbic Acid 15% Solution ($18,00) wegen des günstigen Preises und des hohen Ascorbinsäuregehalts. Welche Stoffe muss ich beim Mischen von Vitamin C vermeiden? Travis empfiehlt, mit der Anwendung von Peelingsäuren einige Stunden nach der Anwendung von Vitamin C zu warten, um Reizungen zu vermeiden. Aber bitte verwenden Sie nicht beide gleichzeitig, rät er. "Sie können durchaus beide in derselben Hautpflegeroutine verwenden. Verwenden Sie Vitamin C zum Beispiel jeden Morgen und Peelingsäuren jeden zweiten Abend. Laut der Kosmetikerin Dr. Paris Acharya sollte das bekannte Niacinamid nicht zusammen mit Vitamin C eingenommen werden. Niacinamid macht Vitamin C angeblich wertlos, wenn es mit einem Produkt auf Wasserbasis kombiniert wird, so die Autorin. Niacinamid sollte nicht völlig vermieden werden, aber es ist vorzuziehen, es am Abend einzunehmen.

Five Times Arjuna Surprised Subhadra

For @ekdesichokari​! Thank you!

1) Subhadra has seen her share of sages, but none who bear the scars of bowstrings, or who stiffen so at the slightest hint of danger.

(Truth be told, she always expected that the great Arjuna would repay her brother’s many visits to Indraprastha, but not quite in such a laughable disguise.)

2) “Never tell me,” cries Subhadra, not a little insulted, “that you kept silent so long because you supposed I ever wished to marry Duryodhana?”

By way of apology, Arjuna wordlessly passes her the reins of the chariot.

3) Warriors hold their secrets close, guarding them as jealously as any jewel; and so Subhadra does not expect Arjuna to indulge her when she teasingly asks him to explain just what Acharya Drona taught him and him alone all those years ago.

(She learns to regret it soon enough; who knew her husband could drone on about battlefield formations for quite so long?)

4) Not for the whole world would Subhadra wish to be Empress rather than youngest wife of a middle-born prince; for one, her poor sister Draupadi cannot possibly disappear all afternoon on a picnic as Arjuna and Subhadra so often do.

5) “Brihannala?” Subhadra repeats through peals of laughter. “The mighty archer spent an entire year playing musical instruments and teaching dance?”

“It is not so different,” Arjuna points out. “A string is still a string, whether I mean to make music or shed blood by plucking it.”

“Still,” says Subhadra, “still.” It is not funny, not funny at all, but she knows already that in the days to come, the war will bring an end to all she knows. If she does not laugh, she shall weep.

“Still,” agrees Arjuna, more gently than she expects.

By Anirban NagAnother interest rate hike is on the cards in India as the central bank tries to rein in inflation and shore up Asia’s weakest major currency.The Reserve Bank of India will probably increase the repurchase rate by 25 basis points to a two-year high of 6.5 percent on Wednesday, according to 39 of the 52 economists in a Bloomberg survey, with the rest expecting no change.A rate move will follow June’s surprise 25 basis-point hike, when the RBI tightened policy for the first time since 2014, following counterparts in Indonesia and the Philippines in stepping up action to counter an emerging-market rout triggered by higher U.S. rates and a stronger dollar. The rupee is down almost 7 percent against the dollar this year.The RBI will announce its decision at 2:30 p.m. in Mumbai followed by a press conference 15 minutes later. Here is what to watch out for in the statement:Sticky CoreInflation has been accelerating sharply this year, reaching 5 percent in June, on the back of a weak rupee and higher oil, India’s biggest import item. With the government offering higher prices to buy some crops from farmers, price pressures are expected to strengthen in the second half of the fiscal year.The RBI -- which in June projected inflation of 4.7 percent in the second half -- has a mandate to keep it at the 4 percent midpoint of its target band in the medium term. 65222318 As the economy strengthens, there are signs that demand pressures are stoking inflation. Core-price growth -- which strips out volatile food, fuel and light prices -- has been sticky at a four-year high of more than 6 percent.“Considering that demand-pull pressures on inflation are gaining traction, even as cost-push pressures from higher oil prices remain elevated, and that growth recovery may now be gaining momentum on improving demand, another rate hike of 25 basis points, is our base case scenario,” said Gaurav Kapur, chief economist at IndusInd Bank Ltd. in Mumbai.Pipeline prices indicate inflation will remain under pressure. Wholesale prices quickened to 5.77 percent in June, the highest since December 2013, while the RBI expects higher input prices to be passed on to consumers.Food PricesThe government recently increased the minimum support prices for summer crops, which UBS Group AG estimates will boost the inflation rate between 35-70 basis points, depending on the procurement policy. Added to that is the risk of a shortfall in monsoon rains, which could boost food costs further. 65222327 What Our Economists Say...The consensus forecast is for the Reserve Bank of India to raise rates again at its August review to contain inflation. We think it’s already done enough, and expect it to hold. Risks to growth are increasing, and inflation is probably on a downward trajectory after peaking in June. With borrowing costs already on the rise, additional tightening would amplify the debt burden for businesses and inflict more damage on public banks’ balance sheets -- aggravating growth concerns.-- Abhishek Gupta, Bloomberg EconomicsStrong GrowthThe RBI is reasonably confident that the economy is rebounding from the twin shocks of a cash ban in 2016 and the chaotic implementation of a consumption tax in 2017. It expects the output gap to narrow in the coming months, which in turn will drive inflation higher.High frequency indicators from purchasing managers’ surveys to auto sales data show the economy is likely to grow above 7 percent. 65222338 “With GST-related temporary disruption largely behind us, growth in the non-farm economy is picking up,” IndusInd Bank’s Kapur said. “First-quarter corporate earnings data is also indicating a revival in consumption.”Shifting StanceTraders are watching closely if the central bank shifts its stance to hawkish from neutral, a signal of more policy tightening in the months ahead. That would hit bonds in a market where 10-year yields surged above 8 percent in June for the first time in three years.It’s unclear how policy makers will vote this time around after June’s unanimous decision. The spotlight will be on Governor Urjit Patel, who heads the six-member monetary policy committee and has a casting vote. Viral Acharya, the deputy governor in charge of monetary policy, and Michael Patra, who heads the RBI’s research department, could vote for more tightening.Of the three external members, Chetan Ghate, tends to have a balanced view, while management professor Ravindra Dholakia is a dove and economist Pami Dua usually votes with the majority. 65196383 65195157 65191971 from The Economic Times https://ift.tt/2Oyj3Qv

Opinion: BJP's catchlines which helped to win Gujarat elections

As voting for the final phase of Gujarat assembly ends today, a look back at how the motif of Modi’s campaign rhetoric has evolved.

2002: Aggressive BJP harvests polarisation

Gujarat has been called a laboratory after Narendra Modi was sent from Delhi to take over the reins of the state. During the 2002  campaign, Modi and BJP had a simple job. The polarisation after the communal riots ensured all they had to do was to harvest the communal rift. The Congress, at that time the opposition party in the centre as well as the state, was clueless. It probably thought that to speak on justice for Muslims will impact their poll prospects. Six months after the riots broke happened the Akshardham terror attack, which took place just before the polls, ensured that Modi made it a Mia Musharraf vs Modi theme for the campaign that BJP won handsomely.

2007: CM Modi firmly at the helm, Congress tries to get  aggressive

Buoyed by its 2004 Loksabha victory and winning 12 seats in the state, Congress took CM Modi head on. By this time, Mr Modi had already been established as the supreme leader of Gujarat, leaving behind, among others, Keshubhai Patel and Suresh Mehta. As riot victims were still waiting for justice, polarisation continued unabated. Since the Congress government was at the centre, it became Modi’s prime target.

Congress, in turn, did what it could not dare in 2002, called Modi Maut ka Saudagar (merchant of death) suggesting his direct role in riots. This backfired big time. BJP made it Gujarati Pride versus Congress rule of Sonia and Ahmed Mia. BJP’s tally came down by 10 but it won the state.

2012: ‘Gujarat Model’ emerges as social media booms, Congress reels under graft charges

2012 was PM Modi’s last election as CM. The BJP had surged ahead by its clever use of new social media tools like the Facebook and Twitter. It boosted the ‘unique Gujarat Model’ — sometimes truthfully and other times not. But Gujarat, development and Modi became synonymous terms even as Congress suffered huge image crisis during the Anna Hazare agitation of 2011-12.

Also read: Opinion: Gujarat elections, a litmus test for Rahul

Now Mr Modi needed no Praveen Togadiya or Acharya Dharmendra to serve as development planks. It soon became evident that Chief Minister Modi has the potential to be India's prime minister. Despite the party having 40 per cent vote, the Congress was unable to compete and lost to BJP again.

2017 ‘Gujarat Model’ goes on back burner and Pakistan returns

A 15-year rule under one leader is really a long time in politics. What worked in 2012 is looking doubtful as crowd size at Modi rally was shrinking. By now, the BJP was no longer the exclusive player in the social media nor the biggest crowd puller. Opponents had taken a leaf out of BJP’s books, including the Patidars.

The disgruntled youth flocking Hardik Patel and Jignesh Mewani’s rallies were probably 6-10 year old during 2002-2007 but have been denied decent primary education; Gujarat ranks 33 among 35 states in terms of providing access to schools. Anti-incumbency ensured that basic issues, such as primary education, infant mortality, unemployment started factoring in.

Once the backbone of the party, Patels had turned into BJP’s staunch baiters. With the presence of 15 per cent or more in most seats - they have potential to cover the gap between Congress and BJP. Add Dalit and OBC votes to it, and BJP suddenly looked vulnerable.

From ‘Mia Musharraf’ in 2002, ‘Gujarat Model’ in 2012 to again ‘Pakistan connection’ in 2017, Modi had tried various catch-lines for his quest for Gujarat.

As desperate BJP tries to cling on to something or other, including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s secret ‘Pakistan connection,' the small traders were upset with BJP’s GST and note-ban decisions, and Rahul and Hardik were pulling a huge crowd.

If BJP loses, it would be its second major loss after Bihar, wherein caste mobilisation of RJD-JDU-Congress had overcome religious polarisation of BJP in 2015.  If Hardik - Jignesh - Alpesh’s caste conscious agenda helps Congress win, it will once again prove that religious mobilisation can be countered by caste mobilisation.

If BJP still manages the victory, an emboldened BJP may opt for an unprecedentedly vicious 2019 campaign to beat anti-incumbency.
