So are you one of us that is shy to wear sleeveless clothings or something that shows your arm even on warm summer days? Well, one of the reasons why many women won’t do that is because they think they have fat upper arms – i for one am one of them – but others have problems because of dark underarms – raise your hands if you are one of them – don’t be shy now – once upon a time i was like that too – even with promotional items that were recommended i still failed to bring my underarms into a lighter color – so what can one do – if you are in my shoes. Try the below home remedy.
1 . Lemon has the quality to remove dead cells of the skin and deliver a fresh look to it. Take a lemon slice and rub it gently to the dark underarm area. You can also use alum powder instead of deodorants to prevent your skin from darkening.
2. Milk is a useful ingredient for treating dark skin occurrence at armpits. Take a tablespoon of curd, 1 tablespoon of ground flour, a pinch of turmeric and tablespoon of milk. Mix all of them and apply the paste on dark underarms. Rinse with cold water when it dries.
3. Apply paste of sandalwood and rose water on your underarms. Wash it after 15 minutes with cold water.
4. Apply vitamin E oil on your armpits.
5. Wash the dark underarms with coconut oil.
6. Take juice of cucumber and mix it with turmeric powder. You can also add lime juice to enhance the capability of the mixture to fight against skin darkening underarms. Apply this mixture for half an hour and then, wash it away to get glowing skin underarms.
I so miss my MAC cosmetic – back home I used to love their lipsticks so much – and their trendy and sassy looking packaging. I was looking at some auto insurance quotes when i came across some new collection called color forecast. I will be up in the city soon – and you know what I will be looking out for this spring. There is a shade for just about every gal out there – so don’t forget to check that out. As for those who are not familiar with MAC – they are inexpensive and you will come to like them like I do – i’m a convert – i used to be a Lancome gal.
So you have a big dinner or date to attend and that darn pimples had to come out right about last night – looking all so horrid and red. What do you do? My secret..?? Dab pimple with ice cube to reduce swelling and follow with antiseptic witch hazel – this i learned from skin id reviews hehe!! Then Cover it with primer and liquid foundation. Dot on yellow based concealer with a small pointed brush and then lightly press loose powder over the area using a soft, clean eye shadow brush. Cover the red are with as little product as possible. Focus on the positive by going with a thickeer eyebrow or brighter lips.
I used to buy perfumes at my whim and fancy, especially since I traveled a lot and when i am at an airport – i cannot help myself but to buy perfumes and cosmetics because I am not into liquor or wine or anything alcoholic. I even managed to get treatments for hair loss at the DFS shops at one of the airport because i was already lossing hair some 10 yrs ago.
Anyhow, these days – i rarely buy perfume without first testing them and waiting for over night before deciding if they are a good buy. I’ve collected some pretty cool perfume at very cheap prices – like the burberry i bought during Christmas and Calvin Klein’s Eternity. Today i bought Calvin Klein’s Truth at $19.99 for a 50ml bottle because it was on sale – i don’t need more perfume but i see no harm in buying them when they usually retail for at least $59.99.
So you have blemishes? did i tell you that the best multivitamin are great for skin? ok ok ! i hear yer – you still have blemishes. whatever stage your offending blemish is at, over the counter products with salicylic acid can help exfoliate the top layer of skin and open up clogged pores. But try Burt’s Bee new herbal blemish stick because it is 100% natural formula that includes the soothing tea tree and parsley to calm the redness afterwhich – take lots of multivitamins.
I heard that this book that can be bought online is a must read for a whole body transformation for good skin. I was reading on some acne treatment review and found it really interesting and loads of information. In fact, the girlfriends swears by it and said I might even lose a few pounds while glowing too. So if you or your teenage kids are having acne problems, don’t forget to read this.
I’ve been asked many a times – why my skin looks so good – even though I’m old! hahha! sometimes I wonder I should feel offended or feel complimented. Besides having a good diet – which most people find it hard to follow, there are weight loss drinks that a girlfriend would swear by.
My secret is washing your face morning and night and especially after a workout. When we sweat, our body emits toxins and if you just wipe your face, you are just moving around the dirt and bacteria. Always use a tissue paper after washing and go easy on the exfoliators and use lukewarm water please!! too hot water makes the oil from our faces comes out.
Waxing can get very expensive but DIY can be time consuming and plus one can’t really do it properly if you are like me short-sighted. So this month I had to hold off my Cole Haan that i had been eyeing on and get my upper lips and eyebrows done. Well, with the eyebrows you can still do it yourself.. if you are diligent enough and do it every couple of days to keep them tamed but the upper lips part no matter what i use, it still has that faint black patch on it that makes my skin tone looks different and sure makes me look a lot like a man with a mustache – I can’t stand that! And how can one feel good about oneself when you don’t feel confident right? So yes, I’m $20 poorer today – boo hoo!
