While incidental exercise should not replace the exercise that we should be doing regularly, increasing how much incidental exercise we do daily can help us in maintaining our overall health. Some simple ways include walking 2 or 3 stairs before taking the lift up our workplace....

CAN SKINCARE GET ABSORBED? If you have read our last post, you'd have learnt a little about skin structure. But if not, here's a recap - basically, the epidermis is our skin's first line of defence. Skin is waterproof (else how can we bathe/swim!), and apart from blocking out water, our epidermis also prevents many other harmful elements from entering our skin. But this begs the question - if our epidermis is so good at keeping stuff out of our body (especially water!) how effectively can the good stuff get in to...

The sun's rays can be particularly strong when the plane is high up, so remember to apply sunscreen generously or bring a hat along - especially if you're sitting beside the windows!
