Home Remedy for Blackheads
2008-06-08 11:04:00
Blackheads are tiny, dark spots caused by a small plug in the opening of a pore on the skin. Here's one of the best home remedy I've found for blackheads. You only need white egg and cotton wool/pad. Soak a large piece of cotton wool/pad in egg white (or you can also add a teaspoon of lemon juice in the egg white, it's up to you). Cover the affected area with the cotton wool/pad and allow drying and hardening completely. Carefully remove the dried cotton wool. With luck, the black heads would stick to the cotton wool and come off with it. Hope it works for you!

Misikko's Flat Iron
2008-06-02 11:52:00
Want hair straight out of a high-fashion magazine? The Farouk CHI Flat Iron has been the no. 1 selling ceramic hair straightener for the past decade. The CHI flat iron is an icon for salons and supermodels seeking super-flat - or flips - in a flash. But, I am currently trying out Farouk CHI Volumizer Flat Iron 3/4". So far, it's the best product I've ever tried and I loved it!Let me tell you a bit about this flat iron that I'm currently using ie. Farouk CHI Volumizer Flat Iron 3/4". Its unusual design is a sort of hybrid - part curling iron, part flat iron, the bottom plate is convex while the top plate is concave. The curvature combined with the narrow 3/4 inch width is ideal for creating volume at the roots of your hair, and finessed curls or flips at the ends. Add to this CHI's flash quick heating, energy efficiency, pure ceramic heater and convenient swivel cord.I used to have a really bad hair straightener and after I got this one, my life has forever been changed. It works...

Coconut Oil For Hair
2008-05-26 16:18:00
Coconut oil is one of the best natural nutrition for hair. It helps healthy growth of hair by providing them a shinny complexion. It is also an excellent conditioner and helps in the re-growth of damaged air. It also provides the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair. It not only softens the hair and leaves it shiny, it also leaves your scalp moisturized. Evenly run fingers through hair and rub coconut oil into hair. Using a comb to distribute oil through hair is also acceptable. Usually, I put it on dry hair at night before I go to bed and put a small towel over my pillowcase. Then in the morning I wash my hair with shampoo. I use it once a week. It works great!

Home Remedies for Cracked Heels
2008-05-16 09:06:00
Cracked heels are a sign of lack of attention to foot care rather than just overexposure or lack of moisturizing. You can either soak your feet in lemon juice for about 10 minutes (follow this therapy on a weekly basis until one finds a change) or apply the pulp of a ripe banana on the dry or cracked area of the heel for 10 minutes and rinse it clean (repeat this for several days and you will notice a definite improvement in the cracks). Good luck!

Home Remedies for Large Pores
2008-05-05 08:45:00
Pores help in keeping the skin soft and hydrated. The enlarged pores result due to over activity of the sebaceous glands in the skin, especially during puberty, when oil glands in your skin begin to increase the amount of oil that they pump through your pores. Here's the remedies. Mix table salt and buttermilk into a paste, apply on enlarged pores and massage well. Remove with warm water. Repeat several times a week until the condition clears up. Try using cleanser, then rinse it with cool water. Rinsing with cool water causes your pores to shrink, while warm water enlarges them. Hope this helps!

Home Remedies for Wrinkles
2008-04-14 10:07:00
Wrinkles and fine lines are the most easily visible signs resulting from the obstacle course the skin has to face. Helped along by the sagging of the tissues, these wrinkles and lines result in the formation of a type of canvas covered with cracks of varying depths. As time goes by, they deepen, reaching the dermis, which is the skin's supporting mattress. When the dermis loses its elasticity, it becomes slack and deeper wrinkles begin to form. I still remember my late granny used to apply coconut oil on her face. According to her, it's the easiest way to get rid of wrinkle. Just gently massage coconut oil on the wrinkles affected area every night before going to bed. Another granny's easy tips!

Aloe Vera for Skin Problems
2008-03-06 08:44:00
Another simple, easy and effective tips. I'm sure lots of you have heard about this or done this before. Aloe vera fades away scars or skin problems. I still remember when I was a kid, my mum used to take off the skin of the leaf and apply the slimy part on the problem skin. If your skin burns, you have acne scars, wounded or even pimples and dark spots, just apply the slimy part on the problem skin (until it's cured/healed) and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Then, keep the "used aloe vera" refrigerated and it can be used again. Now I use it in every scar or problem skin I have. Besides that, Aloe Vera can also be used to treat infections, constipation, as an anti-perspirant, mouth wash, for the hair, cuts, insect stings, bruises, acne, eczema, psoriasis, as an anti-fungal, to treat athlete's foot, etc. In face, it has been used in healing for centuries. Hope it helps.

How to Curl Hair with Hair Straightener
2008-02-06 01:35:00
1. Start with clean and completely dry hair.2. Use a small amount of Sedu heat protectant product (or similar product) to protect your hair from the extra heat you will be using to style it. Starting at the ends of your hair, distribute the product throughout your hair with your fingers.3. Choose a flat iron (Straightener) that is slim - the width of the iron will determine the size of the curl. (The plate width should be less than 2 inch)4. Once the iron has reached the desired temperature, take a small section of hair and place the iron towards the root of your hair.5. With your other hand, wrap the section of hair once around the iron and slowly drag the iron through your hair - similar to the way you would curl a ribbon with scissors.6. After the iron is all the way pulled through your hair, use your fingers to twirl the hair into a curl.7. Separate the curls with your fingers - but do NOT brush them out - and then spritz with a light mist of your favorite hairspray to set the s...

Should I Wear Thongs?
2008-02-02 14:11:00
Should you wear thongs or not? Most who wear thongs argue that they have certain advantages: more comfortable, no mark under the clothes (it's ugly to see the drawings with flowers) when wearing breeches, makes you look thinner, the boyfriend prefers that, and your friends - girls - are jealous when they see you with it.At the same time, teenagers should not rush the decision. Because most of their idols are beautiful and sexy, so it is difficult for teenagers not to want to look like them. Teenage girls want to become women, and as fast as possible and thongs come in small sizes too."In the eyes of boys, thongs reduce girls to bottoms," former junior education minister Segolene Royal said. "These adolescents are, sadly, a reflection of the society they are sold - a society where women's bodies are shown off like vulgar merchandise," he said. In addition, the increased friction on the vaginal area can be irritating - especially if it is shaved. In summary, thongs are sexy and ...

Tips for Healthy Nails
2008-01-28 12:30:00
Nails need to be taken care of properly to ensure that your nails are healthy and look beautiful.Use nail polish remover with caution. It can dry the nails and your cuticles. Try not to repair nail enamel every day.Watch out for signs of nail infection, including redness, pain or pus. The nail plates are porous and dry quickly. Nail polishes waterproof the nails and cause the skin under them to stay wet longer. This makes them more open to infection.Be careful of some nail products. Some can cause rashes on the fingers or around the eyes since buffing or filing can cause small particles to enter the air. Some of the more damaging products are in nail hardeners.Applying artificial nails over your own are not recommended. They may look nice for a while, but they destroy the underlying nail. The chemicals and glue used are dangerous to the body, and are readily absorbed through the damaged nail and nail bed. The use of artificial nails has been known to contribute to the development ...
