Tips To reduce Bad Breath

Keep your mouth clean. That means a thorough brushing twice a day and flossing regularly.

Clean your tongue, too. Bacteria left on your tongue can contribute to less-than-fresh breath.

Wet your whistle. A dry mouth can quickly cause bad breath. Saliva helps clean your mouth; it has a natural antibacterial action, and it washes away food particles.

Rinse. If nothing else, at least rinse your mouth with plain water after eating. Swishing the water around may help to remove some of the food particles left in the mouth after a meal and prevent bad breath from setting in.

Eat to smell sweet. Foods that help fight plaque may also help fight bad breath. Opt for celery, carrots, peanuts, or a bit of low-fat cheese if you want something to snack on.]]> Tinted Moisturizer with SPF http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/2682/tinted-moisturizer-with-spf Sat, 14 Apr 2012 09:53:38 -0400 Qwerty 2682@/bbforum/discussions ]]> Super Sensitive Skin http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/2218/super-sensitive-skin Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:34:27 -0400 maxwhitney123 2218@/bbforum/discussions
I'm a 28 year old male with pretty good and HIGHLY senstive skin (recently found out I'm allergic to fragrance and diazolidinyl urea, which is a formaldehyde releaser found in some cosmetic products). 

Please help -- I'm looking for any skincare products (specifically a good exfoliator) and hair products (gel, cream, etc.)

Thank you,

I recently came across this site, and was a little perturbed by all the posts attacking the Beauty Brains over, well, everything. 'HOW DARE YOU TRY AND BLIND ME WITH SCIENCE! I KNOW THE TRUTH! MINERAL OIL IS FROM SATAN!' Etc. As a beauty fanatic, I've read my fair share of scare stories over the years - but now, I just go to this site here: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com

First things first. A lot (I'd say all) of the articles posted on there are bogus and scaremongering. Don't bother reading those. It's the incredible ingredients database they have which is worth getting to grips with. They list every single ingredient in use by the industry today, and give them safety ratings using a "traffic light" system.

RED means avoid at all costs.
YELLOW means it's fine in small doses - perhaps exercise a little caution if used heavily in a product.
GREEN means it's completely safe.

It's not just speculation, either - they provide links to huge amounts of study and research on every single ingredient. The last ingredient I looked at had links to 24 separate studies and papers from bodies like PubMed, FDA and other credible scientific sources.

I don't know. I swear by this site as determining whether ingredient scares are valid or not (best example is that mineral oil has actually been given a green light - The Brains are perfectly right when they say how good it is for you). I'm quite new here, so I'd love to know what the more seasoned members think of it? :)

Sorry for the wordy post! You'll be shocked to know I cut about 50% from this little essay, too. :P x]]> Download free report twice or more... http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/1180/download-free-report-twice-or-more...

If you're curious what I'm talking about... I bought the Gold Intensive Package from http://www.oneweekslimdown.com/

I've got to say so far I'm really really pleased with it. I lost 6 pounds the first week and another 4 pounds in the second. I eat less and it is easy and feels right, like healthy.

To give you an idea on how it works:
You mix the liquid concentrate with water and drink it once in the morning and again in the afternoon. It also helps you replace one meal of your choosing, either breakfast or lunch. Sometimes I am a little too hungry to replace an entire meal and I snack on some of the suggested foods in the manual such as raw almonds.

I really feel strongly about the product and it's effects on my body. It's a really simple gradual approach to weight loss without any harsh dieting, starvation or intense exercising. In fact, 30 minutes of mild walking a day is more than enough.

And on another note, not only have I lost weight, but my indigestion has gone completely... I've had it for years, now it's gone, I guess that is why the product is called "One Week Liquid Meal Replacement and Digestive Cleanse.

Has anybody else tried this product?]]> What do you like/dislike about the Beauty Brains design? http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/297/what-do-you-likedislike-about-the-beauty-brains-design Tue, 24 Jun 2008 18:30:23 -0400 Left Brain 297@/bbforum/discussions The Beauty Brains are working on a re-design of the site and would love to have your input as to what things you like, don't like, or don't notice.

In other words NO review is ever completely objective because the reviewers viewpoint always comes into play...that is why in the world of journalism we have OP/ED pages.  And all good BLOGS are going to have a point of veiw...that's why we read them.
That said I think that because of the demand put upon bloggers for new content they often invite other writers to contribute to their blogs to keep them lively.  With beauty/fashion blogs this often takes the form of reviews.  The problem that can occur is that if the reviews begin to dominate the original POV of the blog begins to be lost.  I have seen this happen with other blogs and then the blog becomes less appealing to me...or less different from other similar blogs.
So...I would have to say that I ALWAYS enjoy reading the BBs content on the front page with comments from readers and I am content with using the Forum to exchange info on productst.  And just to be clear the BBs have far less review content than many blogs so they are not out of line here.
Please weigh in here...both BBs and Forum members.

As you know, we've taken a break from the Beauty Brains blog to compile the Beauty Brains book. It's been fun reading through (and sometimes re-writing) many of the great questions & answers we've gathered over the years.

But now we need your help. We have 2 great book cover ideas and we're having a hard time choosing between them. So, we thought we'd get your input to help us decide.

Here's what you do. Look at the two book cover ideas and let us know which one you like better. And if you have any other suggestions about design feel free to tell us that too. We want to create the best book possible and we need your help to do it. Oh yeah, and for everyone who leaves a comment (vote) here on the forum, we will put your name in a hat and choose a winner to receive one of the first copies....FREE!

Here are the possible covers. I've named them so you can use those names when leaving a comment here.

If you have buildup use a teaspoon of baking soda in your shampoo or conditioner. We used to use it on the older women who came into my salon and who washed their hair once every 2 weeks but covered it with spray every day.

Works great! And it's CHEAP.]]> New: Private Messaging in the Forum http://thebeautybrains.com/bbforum/discussion/49/new-private-messaging-in-the-forum Sun, 19 Aug 2007 10:55:33 -0400 LeftBrain 49@/bbforum/discussions
