Sunscreen

 Sunscreen is actually the most important product for our skin. It protects your skin from sun, which produces two types of ultraviolet (UV) rays that damage our skin. The first  type of UV ray is called ultraviolet A (UVA), which causes fast aging of skin. The second one is called ultraviolet B (UVB) which causes sunburn. Our outer skin layer is composed  with pigment called melanin and too much sun exposure can make the pigment darken or shed. Sunscreen is crucial for skin protection and without it we can experience extremely bad results, for example we can experience things like: having wrinkles really young, popped blood vessels or even something more dangerous like skin cancer. We should look for a sunscreen that suits our skin especially when it comes to SPF( Sun Protection Factor), which every sunscreen contains. There are different levels of SPF- the most common are 15,30,50. The higher the level of SPF the longer it can protect your skin and the stronger the sunscreen, so we should be careful to not pick a sunscreen too strong for your skin type. You should remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours for the best protection. You should also know that there are two types of sunscreen. The first one is a chemical sunscreen, which absorbs into your skin and turns UV rays in heat and then releases it. The second one is mineral sunscreen which sits on your skin and reflects the UV rays like a mirror. Sunscreen is really important for our skin so remember to wear it to be healthier!

      Mineral sunscreen is a bit better in protecting the skin from UV rays. It’s also better for acne prone and sensitive skin, but if it's not tinted with some beige color it can leave a withe cast on the skin, which bothers some people. Chemical sunscreen is a bit stronger but right now it is getting closer to being as good as the mineral one.

Can you learn a language in your sleep?

Sleep learning was first shown in cartoons which started to interest more and more people that wanted to know if you actually can learn while sleeping. Finally thanks to neuroimaging we know that the brain in some phases of sleep can actually pick up some information. They tested it out on people who wanted to quit smoking and 35% of them actually quit after they mixed the smell of rotten fish with the smell of cigarettes and presented it to them during the time they slept. Then they tested if they can teach people japaneses while sleeping. During the day they played a sound of animal and an image of them to the person learning then when they were sleeping they played the sound of animal and what are they called in japanese and in the morning they played what the animal is called with two images to choose from and they observed that the participants chose the wright picture with their skills rather than luck. That means that it is possible to learn language while sleeping, but they rec...

How to sleep better and reduce back pain

 Sleeping is really important, so how you sleep is crucial for your well being. A physiotherapist who used to have back pain from bad sleeping revealed how to improve your sleep position. First she recommends stretching before you go to bed. This can help with your blood and oxygen flow, plus your body can get siff from static position when you sleep. You should also try exercising during the day. Another tip is to try and find a mattress that will suit you, because a mattress that is too soft or too hard can be bad depending on your body. Also your pillow position is important, some people that sleep on their side put one pillow under their head and one between their legs and it helps them reduce their back pain. The last tip is to try and relax before going to bed. 30 minutes before you sleep you should do something that will relax your mind and body. In my opinion sleeping is really important and I can see it, because my mood depends on how good and how much I have slept. The be...

Taliban ban Afghan women from university education

On the 20th of December Taliban banned women from afghanistan from university education. Earlier women were banned from going to secondary schools as well as going to gym, parks, funfairs, public baths. Women were also banned from traveling without a male relative. Women are terrified for their future. They are paid a small salary after they were pushed from their jobs, to stay at home. Ramiz Alakbarov, who is the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan showed his concern on Twitter for the future of Afghanistan, if women are blocked from education. This is happening, because of the takeover of Afghanistan by the Islamist last year in August. I think I wouldn't know what to do, if i was in the Afghan women position. I feel really sorry for them, but personally I don't know if there is any way to help them. I also agree with the secretary general’s deputy special representative for Afghanistan, about the future of Afghanistan, if women are not allowed ...
