Air pollutants, seasons, and mood fluctuations are uncontrollable issues that can have a harmful impact on the skin. But one thing you can control is the food you eat. It is no secret that collagen and antioxidant-rich foods are good for the skin, but not many know the kind of foods that can ruin the skin. Here are some foods that you should avoid or limit to have healthy, glowing skin. Fried foods Deep-fried food items like french fries are cooked in refined vegetable oils such as canola, safflower, and peanut oils. While they seem healthy, these oils are loaded with trans-fat. This can cause inflammation, resulting in premature wrinkles and aged-looking skin. Processed meat Processed meats like bacon and brined chicken contain high levels of sodium. Excess consumption of sodium can lead to water retention in the body and cause puffy and swollen skin. Sodium nitrate is added to many processed foods that destroy collagen and cause premature aging. Doughnut Doughnuts are delicious and tempting, but it's best to restrict their consumption. Such deep-fried and baked goods contain a high amount of sugar, which is probably linked to the development of wrinkles. Doughnuts also contain processed carbs that can damage the skin's collagen and make it springy. Mayonnaise Mayonnaise contains omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for growth and development. But excess consumption of mayonnaise can aggravate the inflammatory process. It is best to eat omega-6 fats in combination with inflammation-fighting foods like tuna or salmon. Energy drinks Energy drinks contain an unhealthy amount of sugar and caffeine that can lead to sagging skin. Regular consumption of caffeine can increase cortisol levels, which may lead to inflammation. Energy drinks and sugary beverages can also cause zits. White bread According to studies, foods like white bread that have a high glycemic index (GI) can have an adverse effect on your skin. They can increase blood sugar levels drastically and lead to acne and other skin conditions. Condiments Condiments like soy sauce, ketchup, and barbecue sauce contain a lot of sugar and sodium. Excess consumption of condiments can add a lot of stress to the skin. It is best to keep portion sizes minimal and in moderation.

Remember that, when you are planning to use your refund, it would take few days for the IRS to deposit your refund in the bank account or it will take several days for the check to arrive by mail. It has sometimes even extended the time period to 5 additional days for the fund to become available. In most cases, the refund will be directly deposited to your account more quickly than 5 days, and in certain cases, it will be available even before that or immediately. Best way to get you tax refund: You get to choose among three options from the IRS for receiving your refund. You can get it in the form of direct deposit. If you are expecting for a huge amount, you can split your refund and have it deposited in three banks. You can ask for a paper check to be sent to your home or you can choose to buy US savings bonds with your tax refund. You may also save it up for the future taxes owed. This is a the most welcomed method used by those who require paying estimated taxes, largely small business owners. Of all the three options available to you, the direct deposit to the bank is the quick and safest option. Tax refund schedule for extensions and amended tax returns: Even if you have filed for a tax refund before the deadline or have filed for a tax extension, the refund schedule will be the same for both the cases. However, there is no official schedule for tax refunds and amended tax returns. The schedule calendar includes the dates only for e-filing an original return and the amended tax returns are processed manually. The amended tax returns take few days longer to process say somewhere between 8 to 12 weeks and if you haven't received an amended tax return refund with 8 weeks after you file it, then you should contact the IRS authorities or IRS website to check your status. How to check refund status: Once the IRS has received your tax refund through e-file, you will be sent an conformation mail or form from them after which you can easily access and check your tax refund status from their website. You will have to wait at least for 3 weeks if you had sent the tax return by mail. The best way to check the federal tax refund status is to click on the "where's my refund page" at the IRS website, and if you haven't received any notification on your tax returns, you can call the IRS customer service representatives and inquire about your tax returns. Make a note that the IRS updates tax returns only once in a week, particularly on Wednesdays.

Getting a dog is probably one of the happiest moments of a person's life. There are many ways by which you could get a dog, but the most animal-friendly way is adoption. However, getting a dog can be very overwhelming at times considering the fact that it could be your first pet. The first few days after bringing your dog home are very crucial and it is very important for you to develop a routine to help your pet make the transition from the shelter to your house. Here are some important decisions you need to make as a family before adopting a dog: It is necessary for the family that is adopting to think about who will be taking care of the dog and how much time each member of the family can devote towards the dog. The reason is that the dog once brought home cannot be left unattended. The process is quite similar to bringing up a child. Another major thing that the family needs to think about is the financial aspect of adopting a dog. Since the dog is being adopted, there is no money to pay at the shelter, but there are a number of things that go into taking care of the dog. The family needs to make sure that they can afford everything that the dog requires. A major aspect to consider while adopting the dog is the training process. Once the dog is yours, it needs to be trained to have basic manners. There have been cases where the dog adopted has not been trained and is left to do whatever it wants. The outcome of these cases turns out to be peeing in the house, biting the owners and outsiders and growling at outsiders among others. Something that is not spoken about often but needs attention is deciding the size and breed of the dog. Obviously, while adopting a dog these choices are not very open. If you do have any specifications, you can mention them at the shelter and the workers at the shelter will definitely try to meet your needs. The size of the dog should ideally be decided by the house it would live in as well as the environment around the house. For example, people who live in an apartment should get a smaller dog as a bigger one wouldn't have a lot of space to move around. Getting a dog is a pleasurable experience, but one must take their time, consider all the basics and then decide to get one.

Sweating is an inevitable process, and on long days it can really get disgusting. It’s even worse when you’re carrying the stink through unprecedented appointments that come up during the day. Bad body odor is also a very strong sexual repellent and it is something you definitely do not want in general either. Moreover, it’s got to go. There are a number of remedies for perspiration available for men and women, both in a variety of categories like deodorants, sticks, scented, unscented, etc.   What’s in them? Aluminum is the central ingredient of all the best antiperspirant and deodorants. The sweat itself has no smell. It is the breaking down of the sweat by bacteria that causes the stink. This is where we get to scented antiperspirants. This is usually the sole diminishing factor between male and female antiperspirants. Many people do not like to use scented products due to reactions to their skin so a range of unscented antiperspirants are also available in the market.   The difference between deodorants and antiperspirants The basic difference between the two is that deodorants reduce the amount of smell your sweat gives out while antiperspirants reduce the amount of sweat by itself. Since antiperspirants can’t stop the sweat completely, which would also be harmful, the best antiperspirants and deodorants are combined to give out a scent as well. If you are someone who sweats a lot, a scented antiperspirant should do the trick.   Top antiperspirants for men Here is a comprehensive list of the best antiperspirant and deodorants for men-   - Advanced Deodorant by MenScience MenScience products have always been top of the line.
