When you think of beard oils, you think of healthy and silky beards or just good beard appearance in general, but beard oil goes beyond just improving your beard’s appearance; it also improves skin health, thereby beautifying it.

It does this because of its moisturizing ability, which improves the appearance of the beard and skin beneath it. Let’s face it, what good will come out of a good beard on a bad face? So, most beard oil brands, such as the Bossman Brand, produce their oils to tackle skin issues so as to get the best out of it.

That aside, let’s quickly run down the ways beard oils can help beautify your skin.

It Prevents Acne

Studies have shown that regular beard oil use can prevent acne, leaving you with a fresh face. Many men suffer from acne and cover it with their beard, but you should understand that with good beard oil, especially those that you aren’t allergic to, you can make acne a thing of the past. It’s mainly because of the moisturizing effect of Beard Oil and the fact that it doesn’t clog the pores. They are advertised as active acne prevention products, and they do the trick.

Better Absorption

Due to the fact that it contains carrier oils, it is easily absorbed, and it also easily absorbs nutrients that are very beneficial to the skin, like vitamin A and vitamin D from the sun, which is known to be beneficial to skin health.

Antibacterial

Beard oils are antibacterial and help fight against bacteria that would cause harm to the skin. Beard Oil brands, especially those with jojoba oil, have very strong antibacterial and aid the natural oils on the skin in fighting off unwanted bacteria.

Moisturizing effect

Beard oils are very good moisturizers and help prevent dry and itchy skin. Those that live in very dry and hot areas tend to suffer from dry beard and skin, but beard oils combat these by moisturizing the beard and skin, making them look much better. It aids skin replenishment through moisturizing, thereby giving you very healthy skin.

Doesn’t clog pores

Many products are guilty of blocking pores and making you very uncomfortable in your own skin, but that isn’t the case with beard oils. Because for healthy beard growth, your pores need to be free. Avoid beard oils that aren’t non-comedogenic, and a good example are those beard oils that contain jojoba oil; that’s because jojoba doesn’t sit on the face and block the pores, but rather, it is readily absorbed into the skin.

Filled with natural oils and vitamins

Many people suffer from dry skin, which in turn leads to having a dry beard, so to combat this, beard oils are filled with a lot of vitamins that nourish the beard and skin. Nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin D are all found in good beard oils. To even top things off, they sometimes contain omega 6 and 9, which are very good for skin and overall health.

Whether we realize it or not, negotiating constitutes a significant part of our daily lives. As a result, it’s important to improve your negotiation skills to give yourself a competitive edge, both in business and social settings.

Thankfully, classes, tutorials, and books aren’t the only way to learn how to become Negotiation Experts. There is a lot to learn from the reel on how to seal the deal.

The entertainment of the big screen can also provide real-life situations that can teach you a thing or two about bargaining, haggling, and sealing deals.

A Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words

We can learn valuable lessons from watching a movie out of the comfort of our home and what better way to learn than in a relaxed atmosphere.

According to Research.com, videos are a powerful and effective way to help people overcome the forgetting curveand retain more of what they learn.

In addition, when you watch a film or movie, it allows you to sharpen your skills without the pressure of being in a demanding training or workshop situation.

Movies depict bargaining situations from different angles, portraying many different characters that many can relate to in one way or another. These real-life negotiation scenarios intrigue, inspire and instruct you on how to get it right on the negotiating table.

Let’s play back scenes from the big screen that inspired success on the bargaining table and the lessons to glean from them.

Stand Your Ground – Nightcrawler (2014)

In one scene Lou tries to sell video footage of a crime scene to Nina, a TV News Manager, by driving a hard bargain through wit and confidence. He expertly negotiates for a fair sum because he believes in the value of his product and doesn’t concede to Nina’s lower offer.

Lesson: While you should be flexible in any bargaining situation, focus on highlighting the value of what you have to offer and avoid conceding to lowball offers. Go into the negotiation with a set “walk away” position and stick to it. If you reach an impasse, forego the negotiations rather than settling.

Go The Extra Mile – The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

In The Wolf of Wall Street, Jordan Belfort (an up-and-coming stockbroker) does his due diligence in researching potential investors before closing a deal. Armed with background information about the investors, Belfort entices them with investment deals they cannot resist.

Lesson: If you want to draw in a potential customer, prove to them that what you have to offer is the solution to their problems.

The most effective way to understand your customers is through research, so take the time to find out as many details as possible about the other side and determine their challenges and interests. Once you know their pain points you can give them a clearer picture of how your offering answers their needs.

Mastery of an Array of Skills – Lincoln (2012)

Lincoln is a cinematic adaptation of the events that resulted in the abolition of slavery in the United States of America.

During negotiations, the sixteenth President of the USA uses stories and metaphors, at times reason and logic, and other times incentives and pressure. His ultimate success results from knowing his different audience sets at any given time and using the negotiation style that appeals accordingly.

Lesson: In negotiations, what’s good for the goose may not also be good for the gander so knowing your audience is what often separates the negotiation experts from the amateurs.

It’s important to understand and adapt to different dynamics. For example, the way you communicate with suppliers differs from the techniques you would use with customers.

Acing Negotiations Through Movies

Movies are entertaining and can help you to consolidate your appreciation of what you have learned from books, tutorials, and classes. Next time you’re watching that blockbuster, look out for those epic scenes that will boost your skills on the negotiating front.

History made on Saturday May 14, in Okuapemman as Hon. Kamina Johnson Smith, the minister of foreign affairs and foreign trade of Jamaica paid a momentous visit to Okuapemman and HRM Oseadeyo Kwasi Akuffo III as part of her state visit to Ghana.

Hon. Johnson Smith connected history by first paying tribute to the first Basel mission church the missionaries established, Christ Presby Church in Akropong Akuapem. History has it on record that, their kinsmen were part of the missionaries to establish the church. The Jamaican missionary, John Hall from Irwin Hill, Montego Bay became the first presbyter of the church, when it was established in 1835. She took the opportunity to meet some of her kinsmen who are descendants of John Hall at a short ceremony at Christ Presby Church, where they shared pleasantries and accompanied them to their first settlement Called Hanover Street here in Akropong. Hon Kamina together with her kinsmen visited the grave yard of their fathers and finally ended the tour at the Akuffo descendants heritage.

An official ceremony was put together to welcome her, held at the Okuapehene’s palace. Gracing this occasion were the former chief justice Her Lordship Sophia Abena Boafoa Akuffo, H. E.

This therapy is based on cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) but has been specially developed to treat individuals with extremely intense emotions. Individuals who struggle with negative thinking patterns can learn to change those patterns through DBT.

Three main points need to be addressed in conjunction with dialectical behavior therapy. Patients are instructed not to think too far into the future since thinking about the future can trigger the following episodes:

• Depression
• Destructive behaviors
• Promote eating disorders
• Suicidal behaviors

In Therapy Hunter, individuals will be taught positive, healthy ways to deal with stress and general emotions from daily situations, improve their relationships with loved ones, and manage their emotions. Dialectical behavioral therapy helps individuals identify, change and deal with negative and unhealthy behavior patterns and emotions, mainly in social situations.

People who suffer from destructive behavior, mental health conditions, and chronic suicidal thoughts are usually referred to dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

Here are three strategies used in DBT

1. Core Mindfulness

Mindfulness is one of the benefits of DBT. Focusing on the present moment or “living in the moment” allows you to pay attention to what is happening (e.g., your thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses).

Also, use your senses to take in what is around you (your sight, sound, smell, and touch) in a nonjudgmental manner.

You can use mindfulness skills to cope with emotional pain by slowing down and using healthy coping mechanisms. In addition to helping you relax, this strategy can prevent you from engaging in automatic negative thought patterns.

2. Distress tolerance

An individual will learn how to accept and change within the session of distress tolerance. The following four primary techniques you will learn in this class will help you deal with any crisis:

-Self-comfort

-Reducing stress

-Considering situation’s pros and cons

-Distractions

-Understanding radical acceptance is a crucial part of learning acceptance.

You can embrace the fact that you will face both negative and positive situations with radical acceptance. Despite this, you will learn how to accept the outcome, no matter what the problem is, without being judgmental. Mindfulness played a major role in the development of this skill set.

3. Emotion Regulation

Regulating your emotions allows you to deal with powerful feelings more effectively. By learning these skills, you will identify, name, and modify your emotions. Recognizing and handling intense negative emotions (for example, anger) allows you to have a more positive emotional experience.

Those who are regularly confronted by the following emotions would benefit from an emotion regulation therapy session:

-Anger

–Depression

-Anxiety

-Frustration

Those who experience intense negative emotions regularly will benefit from learning to regulate and control their emotions. As patients learn to manage their emotions, they become less prone to experiencing any form of painful emotions caused by situations they have no control over. It will be beneficial for their health and increase their chances of prosperity.
