 | How to get rid of pimples with ingredients in your kitchen cabinets.
Useful for those suffering this problem, to have a healthier lifestyle; also handy for those moments, during your trips or holidays, when you are far away from a doctor.
But for how long can you take care of your skin? How long can the skin be taken care of? Many people may be asking themselves these questions; after all, who wants to look bad? Many times we worry about the years that pass by, and how entropy seems to take care of our lives, slowly, little by little. Yet, we can testify to the power of natural solutions to take care of the rest; palaeontology is a field of study ripe with examples and good references.
Several specimens of death, frozen mammoths have been found in Siberia and megatheriums in Patagonia in a similar state, complete with their furry skins, even without losing colour. These animals became extinct about 10.000 years ago.
An anatousaurus fossil, a member of the family of the hadrosaurids dinosaurs of the late Cretaceous - about 70 million years ago - has been found complete with internal organs, stomach and its contents included. The fossil also has the skin of the herbivorous animal that lived in what is now North America.
In Salta, Argentina, a theropod dinosaur, a carnivore relative of the tyrannosaurus was found; it was a new species from the early cretaceous, about 110 million years ago. The fossil of this not-so-friendly, 12 meter long pet has skin impressions as well.
Many regard the Archaeopteryx as the missing link that shows how dinosaurs evolved from that state into birds; the six fossils found in Bavaria, Germany show even the skins of the animals and their feathers. That's how the little animal was identified as a bird, in fact, because the bones alone give the impression that is some sort of dinosaur.
This little proto bird lived and flew during the late Jurassic, about 120 million years ago; there are different theories about the real connections of this species with modern birds as well as dinosaurs, and it seems that some older samples of other species have appeared elsewhere, but so far, and whether it is in fact the oldest bird we know, in fact it proves that dinosaurs evolved into sea gulls, pelicans, penguins and condors, among many other species.
And again in Salta province, in northwest Argentina, several fossil samples of Saltasaurus, a sauropod of relatively small dimensions - just 15 metres long, a pocket-sized beat of that time - that lived during the late Cretaceous, still shows that it had armoured scales on its back, possibly to protect the animal from predators that like to attach that long, exposed part of the body.
So, while we worry about our skin and how we look, we have these fine examples of natural cosmetics gone mad; indeed, nature can take care of our skin for tens or hundreds of millions of years. Too bad that we will not be around to se how we look.
