Dark Spot be gone.

Hello my awesome followers, you and you and yes you also...:-)  I must tell you my beauties something I have noticed, Men as well are women are spending quit a deal in beauty products to establish and maintain an even skin tone. Many people use skin lightening products to lighten the dark spots on the face especially. Unfortunately using the wrong product can leave a person with side effects.

One woman explained that the skin lightening product she was using twice a day not only left her skin fairer but her skin became so thin that it would bruise if touched. Her capillaries became visible, and she developed stubborn acne. A doctor told her that all three were side effects of prescription-strength steroids in the creams, which she had bought over the counter in beauty supply stores. The problem too is no one is reading these labels or looking up reviews of these skin lightening creams, reviews that can be found on the Internet from people who have used these skin lightening products. Some of these  products list no ingredients because they are illegal in many countries.Yet in many stores around the world sales are strong.

Before going to the store to ask the clerk for the strongest skin lightening product if its only a few spots on your face you will like to fade, which could of been brought about from acne scars. A safer at home remedy is Turmeric which will remove and fade dark spots quickly. Turmeric is also known for it's medicinal help which includes burn treatment,repairing free radicals and reduction of face pigmentation, making it good for skin discoloration.


What You Need: Turmeric powder, Milk ,Lemon Juice and a Bowl.

What To Do?:

1) Mix the turmeric, milk and lemon juice to make a paste consistency  in the bowl.
2) Apply to dark spot on face
3) Use a cleanser after washing your face to get rid of the yellow tint.

NOTE (turmeric stains everything, be careful)  this mixture will make the area yellow depending on how long it is left and how much Turmeric is used especially if left on over night after you have washed it off. (This is not a health concern.) 
No worries you can always just apply the Turmeric for a few minutes (30 minutes- one hour) instead of overnight then wash it off. Then use a cleanser to get off most or all of the stain.

Personally I would  leave this mix on the dark spot over night, and wash off in the morning. And deal with the stain for a few hours.
Enjoy my wonderful followers. .... :-)

Preventing the Wrinkle Madness

Hello my wonderful followers, on this Sunny day in the Concrete Jungle as I'm sitting here enjoying a fruit smoothie. I am reminded of all the wonderful and beneficial healthful products that I must post to help for this type of weather. So today's post will be about something many people see on a daily basis when they look in the mirror, and some that look into the mirror and pray they will never have to see one or two. It's all about Wrinkles. Described as a rhytide, which is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of the aging process, habitual sleeping positions, loss of body mass, or temporarily as a result of prolonged immersion in water.

Today we will speak about Age wrinkling caused by sun exposure and how to Stop it before it happens and before drastic measures has to be taken to correct them.

When it comes to the sun we know that it's UV rays are converted into useful energy. Research also shows 90% of wrinkles are caused by the sun';s UVA light, and damage from the sun is the number one cause of premature aging in women and men. Do you know that even at low-level exposure to UVA light breaks down collagen, which causes wrinkles ? ahhhhhhhhhh O-0

So let me give you my little secret (It is well known, but this is what I use daily) It's called, wait for it.......Sunscreen, yes that's right Sunscreen to help prevent wrinkles and premature aging later on in my life.

Sunscreen is a pharmaceutical product designed to protect skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation. In fact Sunscreen is beneficial to the entire body not only during the Summer or Island Hot days or if you are at a tanning salon, but all year round even in cold climates.

Applying a quarter size of SPF30 Sunscreen to the face is all you need.
To Apply-
First wash your face, apply a toner to cotton ball and swipe your T-zone to absorb the oil on your face. Now apply your favourite SPF30. Let the Sunscreen absorb into the skin then blot your face lightly to remove residue, then you can apply your makeup or go bare face like I usually do.

When I use Sunscreen it goes all over I prefer the lotion on my face and the spray on my body.

Enjoy the post my Beauties and do ALWAYS use Sunscreen as a means to preventing Future Wrinkles.

Awesome Day enjoy....Cyber waves..:-)
