“How to we get rid of blackheads and whiteheads”


 Maintaining a clear and beautiful skin, takes time, consistency and effort. Dermatologist may recommend lots of products, but some of them can be expensive and may actually take a long time to work. You can, however, incorporate some home remedies for blackheads and whiteheads into your daily beauty regimen and in a few weeks, you will experience a drastic reduction or even total elimination of the problem.

 ● Toothpaste – Toothpaste is an effective blackhead and whitehead remover. Apply a thin paste to your infected areas and let it sit on your face for at least 25 minutes. You will probably feel a burning sensation when you apply the toothpaste, but this is normal and will pass. Once you remove the toothpaste, the top of your blackheads and whiteheads will disappear, but you still need to thoroughly wash your face to remove the buildup underneath. Repeat this home remedy every other day for two weeks.

 ● Tomato – Tomatoes have natural antiseptic properties that dry up whiteheads and blackheads. Peel and mash a small tomato. Apply the tomato pulp to your blackheads and whiteheads before going to bed. Leave the tomato pulp on your face while you sleep and then wash your face in warm water in the morning.

 ● Lemon -Wash your face in warm water. Then, squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl. Add in a pinch of salt and stir the mixture. Apply the mixture to your blackheads and whiteheads. Leave the mixture on for approximately 20 minutes and then wash your face with warm water again.

 ● Lime – You can also use equal parts of lime juice and cinnamon powder and apply this mixture to blackheads. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning

 ● Cornstarch – Mix about a three-to-one cornstarch to vinegar ratio into a paste. Apply it to your problem areas and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the paste with warm water and a washcloth.

 ● Yogurt – Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then rinse off with cold water.

 ● Almond or oatmeal – Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with just enough rose water to make a spreadable paste. Apply it to your problem areas with your fingertips first and then apply it to the rest of your face. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with cold water.

 ● Rice – Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on affected areas of the body.

 ● Potatoes – Grate raw potatoes and then rub the area with the mixture. Wash it off after 15 minutes.

 ● Fenugreek leaves – Crush some fenugreek leaves and mix with water to form a paste. Put this on the face for 15 minutes and then remove it. Do this every night to keep your face free of blackheads.

 ● Coriander leaves – Mix some coriander leaves and a little turmeric powder with water and form a paste. Use this as a mask to eliminate blackheads.

 ● Oatmeal -Grind oatmeal into a powder in a blender and then add some rose water. Use this on affected areas for 15 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.

 ● Baking soda – Prepare a mixture of equal parts of baking soda and water and rub it onto your face or other body areas prone to blackheads. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.

 ● Honey is also good for removing blackheads. Spread honey on the affected area and remove it after 15 minutes.

 Remember – Be gentle to your skin. Never pinch, scrape, poke, press, or squeeze too hard

A woman ( year ago in Chicago) lost a nail because of unproper removal.
 
 
Hope this was helpful and carefully you will pick your nail tech if you really want your 2 weeks no-chip manicure.

Can Shellac Damage Your Nails

Nail obsessives have been seduced by a new type of manicure that combines the longevity of artificial nails with the convenience of conventional nail polishes.
The result is a glossy manicure that lasts two weeks — perfect if you’re jetting off on holiday. In theory, it doesn’t damage your nails in the same way a ‘false’ gel or acrylic manicure can.
Dermatologists at the University of Miami School of Medicine were prompted to investigate after women complained their nails had been damaged after Shellac or OPI Axxium treatments.
Dermatologist Andrea Chen put the treatments to the test using various instruments to accurately measure the thickness of her own nails before and after a manicure.
The results showed a definite decrease in the thickness after the treatment, though whether it was caused by the manicure or the removal process (the manicure must be soaked off in an acetone solution) remains unclear.
Acording to Samantha Sweet, a spokeswoman for Shellac,   this shouldn’t be a problem.
‘Applying Shellac shouldn’t damage the nail surface,’ she says. ‘The polish has a honeycomb construction, making it porous. The oils penetrate and nourish nails.’
She also says proper removal means acetone soaked cotton wool is placed on the polish and left there just long enough to soften it. ‘You shouldn’t be saturating the nail with acetone, and you certainly shouldn’t soak the entire hand in a bowl of acetone,’ she says
‘Definitely use a nail oil afterwards and keep them short,’ saysshe. ‘Use hand cream and massage almond oil into the nail and cuticle daily. This should minimise damage, but there are no guarantees.'

Why women gain weight with age


Although we strive hard to maintain normal weight, one of the worst things that come with age, is gaining extra pounds.
Scientists discovered the link between weight and age for the fair sex.
After menopause, the activity of an enzyme playing a major role in the production of fat increases.
Also known as Aldh1a1, the enzyme is reason to accumulate more dangerous fat around organs, known as visceral fat.
This can cause the development of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and cancer and is produced by the enzyme accumulates mainly in women when consuming a high fat meal.
Researchers at Ohio State University found that female hormone estrogen suppresses the effects of dangerous bacteria.
The downside is that when women are in menopause, hormone levels decrease dramatically, and Aldh1a1 is free to rampage in the body, leading to weight gain.
Focusing on Aldh1a1, professionals can develop new treatments against obesity in women, said assistant professor of human nutrition at Ohio State University - Ziozenkova oils.
To test whether the accumulation of visceral fat has to do with estrogen levels in women, the researchers surgically removed the ovaries of mice.
If animals could no longer produce estrogen their bodies started to produce retinoic acid, which leads to the formation of visceral fat.
"It appears that estrogen protects female mice from obesity-related hormones or junk food," says Dr. Ziozenkova.
"This means that estrogen inhibits the activation of hormones associated with obesity, and as soon as women enter menopause, visceral fat starts to increase," the investigator continued.
The study was published in the January issue of the journal Diabetes, reported Daily Mail.
