TOP TIPS ON GAINING WEIGHT FAST
HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT CREAM PRODUCT FOR YOUR SKIN.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is available in the form of retinol (retinaldehyde), retinyl-propionate or retinoic acid (Retin-A). Nonetheless, if you are pregnant it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before administering Vitamin A products. Retinoic acid is particularly useful in knocking out bacteria. In addition, it helps regulate the shedding of dead skin layers and pore clogging oils, which help in decreasing visible pore sizes. Topical Vitamin A products help to increase the structural collagen, your natural moisturizer and elastin fibers. It reduces dark pigmentation and provides first-line medication for rosacea, seborrheic dermatitis and acne.
Vitamin C & E
Vitamin C helps to guard against sun-induced wrinkling, by knocking out free radicals, as well as inflammation after exposure to UV. Furthermore, it can reduce brown age spots and rosy rosacea look, offering a greater impact when used together with Vitamin A. Vitamin C should be used with Vitamin E. While Vitamin C offers a water-soluble effect that scavenge free radicals in water-soluble skin parts, Vitamin E works effectively on lipid-soluble skin parts. Therefore, to avoid the lipid cell parts from aging, your skin care cream should not have Vitamin E.
Other Antioxidants
Some of the leading skin care products contain antioxidants, particularly sunscreens to protect the skin from UV light. Most of the antioxidants have blue, green or red pigments that work effectively in humans, as shown by a few studies. Some of the new antioxidants include ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10), idebenone, ferulic acid, resveratrol and alpha lipoic, present in most skin care products.
Olive oil
Olive oils are a natural moisturizer that can be used on hair, nails, scalp and lips. Therefore, skin care products that contain olive oil are highly recommended. According to studies, olive oil helps to decrease UVB skin-damage. Nevertheless, extra-virgin olive oil works even better, although it can irritate the skin of some people.
Hope this helped,so next time you go shopping for your cream product do well to choose the right cream product,best for your skin.
Top 10 easy and simple beauty tips
1: for the ladies please guys don't paint your name except you are delere or a rock star, anyway To quickly dry your fingernails after polishing them, dip in ice cold water. I have found that no matter how long my sisters try to sit they always smudge their fresh polish, so this tip worked well for them.
2: I am a firm believer in toner. I keep my toner refrigerated so that it gives my face a blast of cell circulation. In addition it tones, tightens and closes the pores after cleansing. However, when I am out of my homemade toner I always splash my face with cool water to close pores before applying any lotions or creams,cool right give it a try.
3: For a clarifying shampoo I use apple cider vinegar, It works just as well as store bought clarifying shampoos. Like soul mate but much better and the cost is minimal. Did you know that most clarifying shampoos or dandruff shampoos will strip hair of its artificial color? To make your own clarifying rinse, mix one part apple cider vinegar with two parts water and do not rinse. The vinegar smell will diminish in a very short amount of time.
4: oh my gosh ladies do you know that wearing too much makeup really makes you look older. Use a foundation that matches your skin tone and skin type.
5: A silk pillowcase is a must have to prevent premature wrinkles. You will never get pillowcase lines in your face with a silk pillowcase. I just love my silk pillowcases!
6: And ladies When you are low on mascara, try Vaseline! It really does wonders for the eyelashes. Also nourish your eyelashes with almond oil or olive oil.
7: When the dry skin hamanter set in fall to your body lotions and butters to keep you skin hydrated and smooth.
8: Want to plump up the lips for the night, add an irritant like cayenne pepper over your lip balm.
9: Need a quick scrub to brighten the complexion, consider oatmeal or cornmeal mixed with your favorite cleansing cream. It really does wonders to slough off dead skin cells and it is eco-friendly and inexpensive.
10: To give the illusion of fuller lips, add a dab of shimmery lip gloss that is one shade lighter than your lipstick.

How to improve your facial skin naturally.
skin look bad maybe from pimples,rash or even multicolored, lol,anyway there are a lot of product out there but sometimes you might not be able to get your hands on them, so why not for back to nature, some times you hear of a cream containing honey extract,shea butter, milk etc,while not dive into the market and buy the actual fresh product and try it,I have and it not only felt good but it worked, and if I must add the face need litttle or no artificial chemicals it just need simple vitamins and minerals and not all those plenty preservatives, so let's quickly get down to top 3 natural product you can try.
1.Honey
Am kicking off with honey, as you must have know,honey is a very good and all purpose nature food good for many things, For facial skin, honey is like liquid gold it is Full of skin-beneficial vitamins, enzymes, and softness, honey nourishe and heals the skin to an amazing firmness and silkiness. it attracts and retains moisture in the skin,if you have not tried it,please do,It doubles up as a cleanser and moisturizer. It also has antibacterial and antimicrobial properties which will help fight whatever is causing your pimples and acne. It is slightly drying and also incredibly moisturising which makes it good for an effective two-in-one moisturizer – dries up excess oil and hydrates extremely well at the same time.
Facial Recipe:As a face wash–Pour a little honey into your palm. To warm it up, rub your palms together for a few seconds. Alternatively, you may place the honey in a little bowl, and put that bowl in a bigger bowl of warm water. Place the honey on your face and massage gently for a minute or two. You can leave it on your face and rinse off after washing your body. Rinse with warm water first, then cold water. Pat dry.
As a face mask– Apply honey gently and equally to your clean face with your fingertips. Keep the eye area clear. Leave it on for about 15 to 20 minutes. Wash off with warm water and end with a splash of cold water.
Tip:For extremely oily skin, mix honey with freshly squeezed juice from a lemon. Apply to the face as a mask. Wash off as usual.
2. Eggs
I totally love eggs,can consume like .... Let me not say it before you shout, anyway like they say if you can eat it then it is good,yes Eggs are good,they're great for your face too. Want to firm up sagging skin on your face? Instead of leaning on those expensive creams that promise so much, crack open an egg.
An egg is a complete food, full of protein and vitamins and minerals. It makes a nourishing and firming face mask for the skin. A fresh egg has two components – the albumen (egg white) and the yolk. The egg white contains protein while the yolk is packed full of fat. Egg whites cleanse, exfoliate and tighten; where egg yolks moisturize, feed, and soothe your skin. This is a perfect combination for any face mask.
If you have oily skin, you may want to use the egg white alone. It will help heal acne and pimple prone skin, minimise pores, and control oil. If your skin is dry, you may use the egg yolk alone on your face. However, using both the white and yolk works quite well for all skin types, especially for normal and combination skin.
Facial Recipe:Separate the egg white and yolk into different bowls. Whisk the egg white and spread gently all over the face and neck with your fingertips. Keep the eye and mouth area clear. After 20 to 25 minutes, when the mask hardens, wash off with warm water. Afterwards, spread the egg yolk in the same way as you did the egg white. Leave the mask on for another 15 to 20 minutes. Wash off with warm water, and rinse with cold water.
Tip:If you don't like the smell of raw eggs you can mix the egg with some honey. Or if you have oily skin, add a few drops of lemon juice to the egg white, this will help drain excess oil.
Baking Soda
I know you never thought this would come up,anyway it has Baking soda is chemically known as bicarbonate of soda. This pure naturally occurring substance is usually used in cooking and as a leavening agent while baking. The properties it has which make it a great tenderizer for your meat is the same one it brings to your skin – makes it supple as a baby's bottom. Baking soda has a mild gritty feel and works as a gentle cleanser and exfoliator when massaged gently onto the face. It is environmentally friendly and fragrance-free, an inexpensive way to peel away dead skin cells on the face and maintain a smooth and supple skin. Replace all those expensive facial scrubs, masks, and chemical peels with a mix of baking soda.
Facial Recipe:Mix a little baking soda with lukewarm water. Apply onto slightly damp face, massaging gently. Rinse off thoroughly with warm water. Pat dry with a clean face towel.
Tip:For an extra moisturizing feel, mix with honey instead of water. Or for a great exfoliator full of nature's goodness, add some oat flour into the mix to form a smooth paste. Apply on the face as usual.
Note: If you're not using any natural product as a wash, always apply them on a clean face when using as a mask. And don't forget to extend each and every application to your neck, too.
