How to whiten your skin naturally
I know for some people that may sounds strange but some people do want to whiten their skin. For different reasons: remove freckles, brown spots or simply to get that
First of all – always wear SPF+30! That is first and the most important step in achieving this porcelain skin you are after.
Cucumber, lemon juice and grapefruit juice help to whiten your skin naturally. But be careful with grapefruit juice can i buy clomid over the counter and especially with lemon juice.
If you don’t have much time – try this: peel a cucumber (just with your knife, not peeler) longways, and then wipe your skin with these strips (the rest – you just can put in your salad). You won’t need many – two or three. Do this as often as you can.
Or you can apply slices of cucumber (they should be very thing – they will “hold” better) on your face and just lie down for about 10 minutes. Even 5 will do. Better than nothing. Very refreshing. Put couple on your eyes too – you eyes will look so much better.
Some other recipes to whiten your skin naturally:
Whitening Lotion: Mix one tablespoon of cucumber juice and a few drops of line juice. Apply on a face and neck and wash off after 30 minutes.
Cucumber Lotion: Mix one tablespoon each of cucumber juice and milk and a few drops of rose water. Apply on the face and neck. Remove after 15 minutes. This lotion is suitable for delicate skin.
”Freckles remover”: Blanch and grind two almonds. Mix it with white of an egg to which half teaspoon of lime juice has been added. Spread on the face and leave it on till the skin feels dry. Then, wash off first with warm water and then with cold water.
Here is a general advice for any masks:
The masks shouldn’t be applied if:
- the skin infection is present
- there are cuts, bites or small wounds
- your skin is hypersensitive
Exfoliate kamagra discount your skin regularly. At least 1-2 times a week (depends what type of skin you have). This will help to get better results.
Always apply masks on clean face.
Another natural whitener is chamomile.
The easiest way to use herbs on your facial skin is with an herbal steam. Bring water to the boil, add some dry chamomile (you don’t really need too much moneygram washington of water. Maybe one liter of water and buy propecia cheap add one tablespoon of the dry chamomile. You can use 2 chamomile teabags) Close with a lid and give it 1-2 to stand. Place a towel over your head, and sit over the bowl.
Your face needs to be about a foot (30 cm) away from the fresh steam, but still close enough that the steam is drifting to your skin. Stay over the steam, with your eyes closed for around 15 minutes (adjust time for your skin time. If your skin is too sensitive 5 minutes will be enough). Afterwards, splash your face with cool water (or rub with a cube of ice – that is what I like to do).
You can do facial steams about six times a month if you have oily skin. If you have normal or really dry skin don’t steam more than once a week, if that; every two weeks is likely better.
These were tips on how to whiten your skin. And once again, to achieve porcelain skin you always has to wear sunscreen. For more beauty tips click here.

Everyone who has ever had dry hands knows how uncomfortable and how frustrating and often painful it may be. It seems like no matter how much hand cream you put on your hands – nothing would help.
There are several reasons why we can get dry hands:
- It can be genetics – some people have this tendency to the dry hands in their genes.

- Allergies moneygram california (eczema)
- Diet
- Stress
Allergies how can i buy clomid can be trigged by external and internal factors. You may have allergies on some chemicals (always wear protective gloves, if you have allergy on latex – wear gloves that are latex free), paints (even those that are used to colour fabrics) or you may have allergy on some food – such as wheat or diary (identify and eliminate these foods).
Always wear sunscreen –even on your hands. This will help to avoid excess dryness but also protects you from age spots and wrinkles. Remember hands (the same as neck) would show woman’s real age. Often we take care of our face and forget about our neck, décolleté and hands.
Use a good moisturising cream and also have a protective cream if you leave in a cold climate.
Make sure you have plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet. Drink plenty of water. Cut on your alcohol and coffee intake. Alcohol and coffee dehydrate our organism.
What can be done to cure dry hands?
There are a few recipes to make your dry hands feel smooth and soft again.
· Apply Vaseline on your hands and put on gloves (or even socks) and leave them ideally overnight (do you remember Miranda from Sex and the City? J).
· This is a variation of the first recipe: mix equal amounts of Vaseline and beeswax (NB! Some people have allergy on beeswax, please test this first to find out that you are not one of them), melt in a small pot over boiling water (or you can use microwave. Use a safe container to do so). Be very careful as a mix is very hot. Pour the melted mix into a container to harden. Before you go to bed put some of the Vaseline&beeswax mix into your palms and warm it up. Rub it into your skin. Be generous. Put gloves (socks) on and leave it overnight. Wash it off with some soap and warm water. Apply moisturising cream.
· Use very mild soap to wash your hands.
· Try to use Eucerin Cream. Many found it to be very helpful when they have dry hands.
· Drink plenty of water
· Make sure that you have adequate intake of vitamin C, B and E (if you are pregnant consult with your doctor prior of taking internally vitamin E). Vegetable oils (such as canola, rice bran, sunflower etc) are all rich in vitamin E. Another well knows source of vitamin E is wheat germ oil or wheat germs. Nuts, seeds lentils, corn, barley, chickpeas and oats are also rich in vitamin E.
· Look at you Fish Oil intake. Rich in Omega 3 – great for making your skin smooth. Try to eat fish 2-3 serves (one serve is 150gm) a week. Pregnant ladies should avoid Marlin, Swordfish and Shark (or if you have this type of fish – you only should have 1 serve (which is 150gm) per fortnight and NO any other fish that fortnight) also if you have Deep Sea Perch (Orange Roughy) – you can only have one serve a week and no any other fish that week. This is due to higher content of mercury in these types of fish. (source: Sydney Fish Market). You can consider taking fish oil as a supplement if you don’t eat fish that often.
