For some, frizz is the result of high humidity; for others, it comes with dry air. And for curly-headed individuals, it can be a constant nuisance!<br />
<br />
Frizz has multiple causes. Humid air, as pointed out above, can cause curly hair to kink up, making it resistant to lying down smoothly. Dry conditions can contribute to frizz, too, by bringing on split ends and other damage. Split hairs fly about and have much less "heft" and weight than intact hairs.<br />
<br />
There are various products on the market and homemade ones that you can use to help tame the frizz. Here are some tips and remedies for frizzy hair.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Commercial Products</u></b><br />
<br />
Take a look at some of the products that are made to "repair" split ends. There are shampoos and conditioners with this claim, as well as serums and other products that you leave in. Usually, you use a very small amount of the leave-in product and work it through your hair.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Trim Regularly</u></b><br />
<br />
Whether your hair is long or short, getting it trimmed on a regular basis helps combat frizz. Trimming removes split ends and "shapes" your hair so that it lies in a more uniform, straight direction.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Deep Conditioning Treatments</u></b><br />
<br />
Store-bought or homemade, a weekly or bi-weekly deep conditioning treatment can help your frizzy hair. Store-bought treatments include warm oil packs, thick creams, and even mud-like, henna-based conditioner.<br />
<br />
At home, you can mash an avocado and mix it with an egg and half a cup of mayonnaise to make a healthy conditioner. With deep conditioning, you leave the conditioner on your hair for at least 15 minutes, so have a shower cap handy for the wait time. Shampoo after the time is up, using a gentle, moisture-rich shampoo (preferably one designed for frizzy or damaged hair).<br />
<br />
<b><u>Be Gentle</u></b><br />
<br />
Frizzy hair needs just a little rough treatment to become unmanageable. Let your hair air-dry as often as possible, letting the curls and kinks just kind of lie on each other rather than getting blown around.<br />
<br />
Towel-drying comes with a similar precaution - rough rubbing with a towel only increases the chance for frizz and damage. Instead, "plop" your hair forward onto a towel and gently pat it dry, or wrap it carefully in a towel and let it dry for 10 minutes or so. You can also put a towel around your shoulders and let your hair dry naturally while the towel catches drips.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Quick Fixes</u></b><br />
<br />
If you're having a frizzy hair day and just don't have time for elaborate measures, work a pea-sized dab of regular conditioner through your hair. Or, dissolve a bit of conditioner in water in a spray bottle and spritz your hair.<br />
<br />

During certain times of the year, dry skin can become a real problem. For others, dry skin is a year-round affliction. If you've looked into commercial products, you might be shocked at the price of some of these products.<br />
<br />
The good news is, there are some natural remedies that not only are inexpensive; you might already have them in your home. Here are some natural remedies for dry skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>1. Natural Soap Alternatives</u></b><br />
<br />
Sometimes, it's what you don't do that helps your skin. Soap can be very drying and many sources point out that we tend to use more than we need. Instead, consider some of these natural, moisturizing cleansers for your dry skin.<br />
<br />
<b><i># Yogurt-Based Cleanser</i></b><br />
<br />
Yogurt is reputed to be very good for your skin. You might want to use Greek yogurt or strained plain yogurt for this cleanser, so it won't be too runny. Also, yogurt with more fat in it will be more moisturizing than a fat-free one. Here's how you make it.<br />
<br />
In a bowl, mix together:<br />
* Half a cup of plain yogurt<br />
* 1 teaspoon raw honey<br />
* 1 teaspoon olive oil or sweet almond oil<br />
<br />
Apply this to your face instead of soap, and rub in gently with your fingertips. Rinse well using lukewarm or cool water. Hot water strips your skin of oils that you need if it's dry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>2. Exfoliate</u></b><br />
<br />
Dry skin may benefit from an exfoliating scrub once a week or so. Exfoliants help rid the skin of dead, dry skin cells and and flakes, and a moisturizing one is best for those with dry skin. Here's how to make it at home.<br />
<br />
<b><i># Sugar Exfoliant</i></b><br />
<br />
Mix the following ingredients together in a bowl:<br />
* 1 tablespoon sugar (white sugar will have a finer texture than, say, raw sugar - use raw sugar if you want a deeper exfoliating action and white sugar for a more gentle effect)<br />
* 1 tablespoon plain yogurt<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon sweet almond oil<br />
<br />
Splash your face well with warm water, then apply the exfoliant, rubbing it in gently with your fingers. Rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>3. Oils in Your Kitchen</u></b><br />
<br />
Sweet almond oil and olive oil are both said to be excellent for dry skin. Olive oil also has anti-bacterial qualities, sources say, making it a helpful choice for those with acne or other inflammation on their dry skin. So you may want to try dabbing on a drop or two of oil before putting on moisturizer or make-up.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><u>4. Masks</u></b><br />
<br />
A deep moisturizing face mask may help penetrate dry skin for lasting moisture. Try mashing up an avocado until it's creamy, and simply apply it to your face. Leave it on for 15 minutes or so, then rinse with warm water. Finish with cold water, experts say, to "seal up" pores.<br />

Have you tried to apply make-up to dry skin, and were less than satisfied with the results? It can be very frustrating to get a smooth look when your skin is dry. Here are some make-up tips for dry skin that may help.<br />
<br />
<b><u>1. Prepare Your Skin</u></b><br />
<br />
First of all, get your dry skin ready for make-up. This involves several steps.<br />
<br />
* Wash your face with a moisturizing cleanser. Soap and other cleansers can increase dryness, so use a moisture-rich cleanser.<br />
<br />
* Periodically, you'll want to exfoliate your skin. Dry skin can cause flaking and scaling. Exfoliation helps remove these dead cells. You can use whatever exfoliant works for you, whether store-bought or homemade. Beauty experts caution against exfoliating every day, though - a couple of times a week may be plenty.<br />
<br />
* Layers are key. After you have washed and exfoliated, apply a moisturizer before applying your foundation. Make sure it's absorbed thoroughly into your skin, as lotion or moisturizer left on the skin can create a mottled, uneven look to your make-up. To make sure it's absorbed, work on something else - like your hair, maybe - for about 5 minutes to allow it to soak in.<br />
<br />
In lieu of a moisturizer, you can apply a primer to your face after washing. Primers moisturize and also create a smooth base for your foundation.<br />
<br />
Finally, use a facial formula for your moisturizer - don't use body lotion. Body lotions don't necessarily have face-friendly ingredients.<br />
<br />
<b><u>2. What Kind of Foundation</u></b><br />
<br />
Apply a liquid foundation, not a powder one, say experts. Powder has a drying effect, and it can accentuate lines and wrinkles (typical symptoms of dry skin). Creams can also cling heavily to dry skin. Look for moisturizing foundation made specifically for dry skin. If you like, blend foundation with a make-up sponge.<br />
<br />
Consider using a foundation that includes a sunscreen. Sun exposure can definitely dry out skin even more, and shielding your skin from its dehydrating effects is a good step toward reversing the dry skin trend.<br />
<br />
<b><u>3. Eye Make-Up</u></b><br />
<br />
Dry skin around the eyes can "pop out" when the wrong kind of make-up highlights fine lines. Powder-based eye make-up can exacerbate this. So cream-based eye shadows may be a better choice for those with dry skin. Apply gently, avoiding irritation, and remove eye make-up with a moisturizing remover.<br />
<br />
<b><u>4. Blush</u></b><br />
<br />
Another time when cream works is for the blush of your cheeks. Unlike powder blushes, cream blushes add a healthy sheen and glow that could be dulled by powder.<br />

A growing number of women are searching for some ways that can make their skin look more beautiful. As a result, more and more skin care products have become available to address the most common skin problems that people have such as wrinkles, under eye dark circles, and puffiness. If you haven’t recognized it yet, the skin around the eyes tops the list of women’s most common cosmetic dilemma. The skin surrounding the eyes is the first to wrinkle because this area has the thinnest skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
Finding the best eye cream can be a laborious task because there are countless eye cream products being sold in the market. The options can be overwhelming, especially when you see beauty aisles filled with such products. If the number of products overwhelms you, get a shot at the following best eye creams wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness:<br />
<br />
<br />
• The Obagi Elastiderm Day Eye Gel is a must-have item which has the advanced technology of bi-mineral complex that helps repair damaged skin cells. It provides the body with collagen and elastin – the two essential substances that help rejuvenate the skin around the eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
• Clinical studies have shown that kinetin is very effective in eliminating dark circles and in promoting younger-looking skin in general. It is a substance extracted from the Anemone flower and is also the key ingredient in the product known as Kinerase Intensive Eye Cream. It is the best eye cream when it comes to soothing away the fine lines around the eye area.<br />
<br />
<br />
• The popular moisturizer brand, Olay, offers yet another product especially formulated for the skin around the eyes. The Olay Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum features an amino-peptide complex that hydrates, firms, and visibly lifts skin around the eye area. It is safe to use in sensitive skin because it is both non-greasy and fragrance free.<br />
<br />
<br />
One can never be too young to begin the fight against skin aging. Looking for the best eye cream should not start when you’re already 40 because it’s harder to treat a wrinkle that’s already there than to prevent them from appearing early.<br />

Today, buying products that help you look your absolute best is no longer considered vanity because feeling good about oneself is absolutely vital. Feeling good and appreciating beauty when looking in the mirror is something that brings about happiness; hence, beauty products, such as under eye creams, have become a part of every woman’s bedtime regimen.<br />
<br />
<br />
A good number of women use under eye creams because they understand that the area surrounding the eyes is the first one to develop wrinkles and fine lines. The market offers a wide array of eye cream products that promise to get rid of the leading dermatologic problems of women, just like eye wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. But the presence of too many options can turn a person into one confused customer. If you are confused by the countless choices in the market, follow these advices in finding the right under eye cream for your skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
1.) Identify your skin type. Skin types, in general, fall into five categories – normal, dry, oily, sensitive, and combination skin type. Determining your skin type is absolutely necessary so that good decision can be made when trying to find the right product for your skin. When looking at products, try to get one that is specifically formulated for the type of skin that you have.<br />
<br />
<br />
2.) Know your problem. Buying the appropriate product is based on the kind of skin dilemma that you have. The skin around the eye area is easily damaged by internal and external factors, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. Always remember that eye creams are formulated differently. Different creams have different therapeutic actions and manage different problems.<br />
<br />
<br />
3.) Choose products that are infused with antioxidants. Antioxidants such as Vitamins A, C, and E not only fix your skin, but also help fight cancer and other diseases. Despite the never-ending discussion about the health benefits of antioxidants, one cannot underrate the power that they have on reversing the effects of aging.<br />
<br />
<br />
Buying every product in beauty shops can be too pricey. Simply adhere to the abovementioned guides and you’ll surely get the right product for your skin.<br />

Unlike Vitamins A, C, and E, most people don’t give much importance to Vitamin K in skin care products. One will not hear much about its beneficial effects on the skin because it’s more popularly known as a coagulant that is being used in newborns immediately after birth. But it was found in many studies that Vitamin K is very effective against under eye wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness. Antioxidants such as coenzyme Q10 and Vitamin E are good on the skin, but Vitamin K is even better. Vitamin K needs to be replaced regularly because unlike other vitamins, it does not remain in the body for a long time.<br />
<br />
<br />
One of the best ways to get rid of eye wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness is to use Vitamin K eye cream. Various kinds of Vitamin K products can be bought in the market and the one thing that one has to focus on is looking for a brand that perfectly fits one’s skin type. If you are too overwhelmed by the countless choices in the market, there’s no need to worry because here is a list of some of the most effective Vitamin K creams that you can buy.<br />
<br />
<br />
• For those who have tired, puffy eyes, Naturopathica Vitamin K eye cream is the product for you. This cream specifically targets skin problems around the eyes such as dark circles and puffiness. It works by firming and reducing inflammation the skin around the eyes.<br />
<br />
<br />
• B. Kamins Therapeutic Eye Cream is yet another must-try item. This, however, is especially formulated to repair dark circles and bruising under the eyes. It tones up the weak under eye capillaries and hydrates the skin around the eye area.<br />
<br />
<br />
• Refresh Me Under Eye Cream with Vitamin K, on the other hand, is a specialized product that contains powerful ingredients such as soy and rice peptides, squalane, yeast protein, and hyaluronic acid. The combination of these ingredients proves to be effective in getting rid of baggy eyes, puffy eyes, and under eye dark circles.<br />
<br />
<br />
• Vita-K Solution Professional Dark Circles is an affordable Vitamin K eye cream that is enriched with Vita-K complex and Mica. This item is especially beneficial to those with dark eye circles.<br />
<br />
<br />
Wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness can make a person look older than white hair. Fortunately, one can do something to handle these cosmetic problems. Simply apply a good Vitamin K eye cream and you’re sure to look several years younger.<br />

Nearly all women practice good skin care at home. A lot of women in their 30s buy beauty products of all kinds to ensure that they’ll have youthful-looking skin for a long time. However, what most women are not aware of is that eye wrinkles can start appearing as soon as one reaches the age of 25.<br />
<br />
<br />
One is never too young to be concerned with fighting skin aging and using the best eye cream for fine lines. Regardless of whether your fine lines are already noticeable, or whether eye cream products are useful, you don’t need to wait until you’re 30 or 40 years old to start maintaining a good and healthy beauty regimen.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you are confused by the countless anti-wrinkle cream choices in the market, there’s no need to worry because the Allure website enumerates the 12 best eye creams for fine lines. Here are a few eye creams that they find effective against eye wrinkles: Neutrogena Anti-Wrinkle Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream, Patricia Wexler M.D. Dermatology Intensive 3-in-1 Eye Cream, Olay Regenerist Eye Regenerating Cream + Touch of Concealer, Estée Lauder Idealist Cooling Eye Illuminator, RéVive Moisturizing Renewal Eye Cream, Shiseido Future Solution LX Eye and Lip Contour Regenerating Cream, RoC Retinol Correxion Sensitive Eye Cream, Eau Thermale Avène Soothing Eye Contour Cream, Clarins Sun Wrinkle Control Eye Contour Care Ultra Protection SPF 30, Chanel Ultra Correction Lift Total Eye Lift, Korres Quercetin & Oak AntiAgeing AntiWrinkle Eye Cream, and Josie Maran Argan Day + Night Eye Cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of women get easily discouraged with eye creams and stop using the product even before they can start to see the difference. But this will definitely not solve any woman’s dilemma with eye wrinkles because even the best eye cream for fine lines need to be used long enough for it to work. In addition, a good number of women are not able to continue the regimen because most eye creams cost a pretty penny. Whatever the case may be, it’s very important that you give the product enough time to work. Remember , the best eye cream for fine lines is not necessarily the most expensive. Believe it or not, the key is just to get an eye cream that matches your age and skin type.<br />

While a couple of wrinkles can make a man look quite attractive, under eye wrinkles can make a woman look aged and unattractive. This explains why wrinkles top the cosmetic concerns of women. A research made in the UK reveal that one in three women uses anti-aging skin care products. Women support and rave about anti-aging eye creams because wrinkles around the eye area cause them to appear a few years older than their actual age.<br />
<br />
<br />
Women’s ever-continuous battle with eye wrinkles is typically dealt with creams. Although there are other methods to get rid of the unwanted lines, anti-aging eye creams are more preferred than undergoing facelift and Botox because it is more expensive to undergo such cosmetic surgery procedures.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today’s market is filled with anti-aging eye cream products that one can choose from. And even though these creams are offered in various prices, they basically have the same effect - that is, they make the skin around the eye area firmer. But of course, the science behind these eye creams is much more complex than one can imagine. Nowadays, creams are infused with cutting-edge substances that work to turn back time and shave off a few years to a woman’s age. As mentioned earlier, the market is flooded with thousands of anti-aging eye creams. If you’re not sure what to get, it’s best to seek the advice of a dermatologist. If getting help from a dermatologist is very unlikely, find the time to read the product label first.<br />
<br />
<br />
It was found out by dermatologists that the more mature the skin cells are, the fewer antioxidants they contain and the more free radicals they produce. So if you wish to have a product that really helps get rid of the unwanted fine lines and wrinkles, buy one that contains powerful antioxidant vitamins such as vitamins A, C, E, and K. Buy one that has Coenzyme Q10 too, because this nutrient greatly helps in protecting the skin against the harmful rays of the sun. As everyone knows, one of the main causes of wrinkles is too much exposure to the sun.<br />
<br />
<br />
Using anti-aging eye creams is almost always a part of every woman’s beauty regimen. However, do not expect overnight results after applying such products. Be patient when using anti-aging creams because the problem with using such products that it takes time before you see results.<br />

Men, in general, do not practice any kind of skin care and are very timid when it comes to using skin care products. Beauty products baffle most guys. But as more and more men become conscious about their appearance, some have already embraced the need for maintaining a skin care regimen that can fight skin aging. An eye cream is probably one of the better products that guys must try.<br />
<br />
<br />
A lot of individuals, women included, don’t realize that the area surrounding the eyes has the thinnest skin of the whole body. This explains why the skin surrounding the eye is easily affected by pollution, sunlight, stress, dehydration, fatigue, and aging. Eye cream for men is not really something that is essential to have in a guy’s grooming kit, but it can definitely aid in making the skin around the eyes youthful looking. Eye creams usually contain antioxidants, chemicals which are vitally needed by the skin.<br />
<br />
<br />
The main benefit of eye cream for men is their ability to prevent the skin from becoming dehydrated, which makes it susceptible to wrinkles and fine lines. These creams are usually more effective than moisturizers because they are especially designed to address the skin around the eyes.<br />
Although men and women are different in many ways, they share one thing in common – aging. Because both genders cannot escape the aging process, then it only means to show that men, just like women, can benefit from the effects of eye creams. And despite the huge selection of eye cream for men out there, guys can also make use of those eye creams that known to target women. The fact is, men too can make use of eye cream products that women use to treat the skin that surrounds the eye area.<br />
<br />
<br />
With more and more unemployed people competing for a job, men have come to realize how important it is to always look better than the rest. While beauty has long been a woman’s domain, guys nowadays have made a step further to always look their best in order to keep up with the times.<br />

A lot of women become overly troubled when they look at their reflection and notice that facial lines and wrinkles have started to develop. Wrinkles under the eye, also called “crow’s feet”, are one of the first signs of aging. Although wrinkles are more associated with people who are already in their 40s, it is not surprising to see people who are as young as twenty-five to have crow’s feet. Genetics, ultraviolet rays, cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and sleep deprivation are just some of the many factors that can cause wrinkles.<br />
<br />
<br />
Today, there is a strong need to always look good. Women, in particular, desire to have a wrinkle-free skin because they are well aware of the fact that people who appear unravaged by time have better chances of getting a job, attracting a mate, making friends, etc. The million-dollar anti-wrinkle eye cream industry knows about women’s strong desire to always look beautiful. Needless to say, this is the reason why various kinds of anti-wrinkle eye cream products that claim to get rid of fine lines have swamped the beauty market.<br />
<br />
<br />
However, too many choices can be overwhelming, especially if one has no idea about what to look for in a product. If you’re too overwhelmed, just look at the label and try to search for the following ingredients: Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Salicylic Acid, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, olive oil, and grape seed oil.<br />
<br />
<br />
If you’re on the lookout for some of the best products when it comes to anti-wrinkle eye creams, you can try the following best selling items: NV Perricone Eye Area Therapy, Mary Kay - Indulge Soothing Eye Gel, Sudden Change Under Eye Serum, Cellex C Under Eye Toning Gel, and Philosophy Hope in a Jar Eye and Lip Cream. But of course, the best product for one person may not be the best for another. Just continuously look for a brand that matches your age and skin for more effective results.<br />
<br />
<br />
In a world where good looks is given much importance, wrinkles, especially those surrounding the eye area, are not aesthetically acceptable. So give your eyes the pampering that it needs with the right anti-wrinkle eye cream that can make your skin look forever young.<br />

It is hardly a surprise to find people who have under eye circles to have relatively low self-esteem. A lot of individuals, especially women, find these dark circles socially embarrassing; these dermatological problems make them look old, even when they’re young. Every woman should therefore use a good-quality eye cream for dark circles because these can become irreversible problems if not addressed with proper treatment.<br />

Well, alcohol might do this, but studies have determined that alcohol causes the formation of acne.<br /><br />It's considered capable for producing acne knowing that it's an astringent, thus it shrinks the skin pores, making them more prone to clogging up.

Miracle products are almost too good to be true.<br /><br /><br />Vitamin C, in the ascorbyl form, can inhibit melanin formation in skin cells (melanin causes skin darkening) and thus regular uptake can cause skin lightening. Over and above this, Vitamin C boosts immune systems, enhances collagen synthesis, and activates vitamin E that offers protection to the body against antioxidants.<br /><br /><br />The choice for many natural products is extensive depending on the need and preference of the consumer. Be on guard with regards harmful additives in skin lightening products you buy.

The range of skin lightening procedures is wide from use of safe and conventional home remedies to bleaching, chemical peels, dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing. What is puzzling is the intensity of the desire to have a lighter skin that is almost akin to obssession.<br /><br /><br />Home remedies are still widely preferred because it is safe, unobtrusive and relatively inexpensive. The preference is due to the safety it offers. The amount of preparation is quite tedious and the effects take time to come by unlike other methods. These are the weaknesses that work against the use of homemade products.<br /><br /><br />Bleaching is a chemical-based approach. Bleaching agents are useful in minimizing the discoloration of small blotchy spots. There are, however, those who apply it so generously all over the body to achieve wide scale body whitening. This is bothering as many bleaching agents are carcinogenic or cancer-causing. What is more alarming is the unregulated sale of these products thus making it very easy to access.<br /><br /><br />Aging, exposure to sun, pregnancy and genetics contribute to wrinkling and pigmentation that can be removed using chemical peels. The skin whitening procedure is done by applying a medicated facial mask that is removed after awhile. This procedure is more costly than bleaching so evaluation is required.<br /><br /><br />Dermabrasion is alternatively called surgical skin planing. It is a procedure that entails the use of brush or diamond wheel called burr or fraise. The process can make the skin bleed but eventually replaced by new skin cells with smoother look. The depth that can be penetrated will depend on the how coarse the burr is, and how intense and how much pressure is being applied.<br /><br /><br />Laser skin resurfacing is a procedure which allows the underlying skin to resurface be removing the old, dry and wrinkled skin. This skin lightening procedure makes use of laser light with a high-intensity programmed for penetration at different levels. Deep penetration of laser light is needed to eradicate wrinkles, acne scars and unwanted hairs.<br /><br /><br />What is wrong with wanting to have a lighter skin? The important thing about this issue is the ability to make the right decisions based on facts. So which skin lightening procedure will it be?Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-42146142777442288002011-07-31T20:29:00.005-07:002011-07-31T20:29:55.177-07:00Skin Lightening Cream Just Can’t Be SoonerWorking towards becoming attractive is good. Wanting to change a genetic trait is more complicated because it concerns and raises ethical issues. By nature, people get attracted opposite of their type, probably a way of improving the gene pool. Ironic, but women seem to like what they do not have, rather than liking what they are and what they can be; hence, dark-skinned women want to slather skin lightening cream to attain that much-coveted fair complexion.<br /><br /><br />Skin lightening cream and other skin lightening products are very much in demand these days because they offer solutions in whitening the skin of women. This used to be addressed by all sorts of methods and natural ingredients. Despite the fact that home remedies are safe to use, one wonders with the changing preference of women towards commercial formulations. It is definitely an advantage to be able to use several natural ingredients all at one time in one preparation. This eliminates tediousness in preparation associated with use of fresh, raw products that may only allow limited blending depending on the availability of materials and time involved in the preparation.<br /><br /><br />Skin lightening cream is thicker, more viscous and therefore more easily absorbable in the general body skin. Serums are more concentrated but are hefty on the pocket too. Homemade remedies are good but take time for results to be visible. Advertisements made ordinary products into miracle products that explains why the sudden demand and clamor for many brands of lotion, creams and serum. In many testimonies, it was extracted that the amount of time needed for visible results to appear takes 30 to 90 days. This supports the idea that no intervention, natural or commercial can work as fast as wanted or needed since it requires time and consistent application.<br /><br /><br />In retrospect, being beautiful has nothing to do with the skin color and the answer cannot be found in a bottle of skin whitening cream; instead, it is in the mind of people. Skin lightening cream enhances skin tone and does nothing else.Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-49359611976973059992011-07-31T20:29:00.003-07:002011-07-31T20:29:35.271-07:00Skin Lightening Before and After Pictures: Vanity or Sales?What do skin lightening before and after pictures hope to achieve? For some this may be a simple act of vanity, feeding the ego after a life-long quest for a fairer skin. If one would consider the effort and time involved in the process, it is not at all surprising to take pride in the results. It may be hard to believe, but wanting to look better is not just about feeding the ego but human nature. Bad things in life can happen to leave behind scars that will be perpetual reminders of the event. The whitening of the scar and evening of the skin tone is like erasing bad or even traumatic memories of days gone by. <br /><br /><br />Skin lightening before and after pictures is a tell all evidence and compliment to the effectiveness of the product used. It speaks of what was promised to be achieved and how it truly worked. People making testimonies give credence to the validity of claims previously proposed even when it was not validated yet. This happens all the time and a great deal of buyers were fooled this way. The internet abounds with stories similar to this. So, when finally the results become visible, it is time for advertisers to flaunt it, thus the skin lightening before and after pictures.<br /><br /><br />The visual evidences of how products work as captured in skin lightening before and after pictures is actually a good marketing and advertising strategy. Very often, advertisers show off well known endorsers to give testimonies. They give powerful testimonies to give credence to the product. However, one must be wary with the intricateness of the situation involving endorsements. Thus, knowing that they are endorsers and are paid to say and claim what they say and claim is not comforting for consumers.<br /><br /><br />In the end, it is still our call whether to believe or not this skin lightening before and after pictures, and the endorsements. What do you think?Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-12494891604930665362011-07-31T20:29:00.001-07:002011-07-31T20:29:16.445-07:00Natural Skin Lightening Is the Way to GoHistory tells us that natural skin lightening procedures had always been practiced in history. Men and women who are innately dark- skinned have been on beauty regimens that include ingredients like papaya, lemon juice and rinds, milk, almonds, oats, tomatoes and the list goes on. After everything has been said and done, people still want to go back to what is conventional, traditional, efficient and yes, natural. The usefulness of natural skin lightening can never be questioned. The only issue being argued upon is the tediousness of preparation.<br /><br /><br />Basic and natural can mean raw and fresh ingredients being rubbed on skin just like how it was done eons of ages ago and how it is being replicated now in homes and, surprisingly, in spas. What brings about tediousness is the manner by which the fresh ingredients are processed to become a beauty blend. It can even be costly on top of the tediousness and inconvenience involved simply because ingredients are fresh and require advance preparation every time it is used. As this practice becomes harder to do, it became a luxury and a commodity in spas that cater to women customers who crave to be pampered using natural products.<br /><br /><br />With the need, and now the demand that is too palpable, the cosmetic industry turned towards use of natural ingredients processed and packed in bottles for expediency. The processing method, however, requires the use of certain chemicals to preserve the quality of the product. Products being sold in the market boast of being natural but do not mention anything about the preservative being used in the product. Attention and interest must be paid on the use of additives particularly the ones that are already established as unsafe like petroleum-based products like petrolatum,sodium methyl parabens, wood-derived alcohol like glycol,mineral oil and propylene, and chemical bleaching agents.<br /><br /><br />There are many options to choose from if natural skin whitening is your goal. It is only important to shy away from those that can potentially harm your skin and those that are cheap yet promise fast results. If you really want to make sure, you can always go back to the old, traditional time-tested ways you can do in your own kitchen or simply go to a spa.Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-66921569449848716092011-07-31T20:28:00.005-07:002011-07-31T20:28:58.932-07:00Make the Skin Lightening Lotion WorkThe application of lotion is part of the bath and hygiene regimen that is as routine as having coffee in the morning or brushing teeth after meals. It will be hard to change this practice as it is already a habit that has been ingrained from the time a baby has that first bath. Taking stock of the products in the grocery shelves, one is in awe with the number and variety for selection. It only takes knowing what is wanted and a suitable find can be done just as easily. However, the task of selection has just been made more daunting with the wide array of skin lightening lotion available. Here are some facts that can help in the selection of the right skin lightening lotion. <br /><br /><br />Natural is second to nothing. Lotion has originally been developed to feed the skin to give it a baby touch. To lighten skin, natural ingredients from home are used on the side such as lemon juice, potato extracts, papaya, milk among others. The surge in the demand led to the commercialized manufacturing of lotion that integrates natural ingredients to offer skin lightening lotion with other benefits. To stay as close to fresh natural ingredients that are safe, it is good to use skin lightening lotions that have components derived from natural sources. <br /><br /><br />Avoid use of banned chemicals. When products or chemical components are banned, it is for a reason that is generally substantiated by scientific findings. Do not be fooled or lured by these cheap products because they not safe; no one is buying them anymore and that is why they are cheap. If the price is a concern, search the market for inexpensive yet safe skin lightening lotion. It is important to be aware of what you are giving your skin so read on.<br /><br /><br />Take time in waiting for results. Good visible results take time. Sometimes it takes 30 to 90 days for skin whitening lotion to show good visible results. When products are replaced fast, the true results become hard to assess as other products are used one after the other.<br /><br /><br />In the end, what is there to be done? Do not stress yourself out; keep that skin beautiful.Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-13680139439119884002011-07-31T20:28:00.003-07:002011-07-31T20:28:38.321-07:00Lemon Skin Lightening –Natural And EffectiveMirrors do not lie as it projects a face unhappy with the many scars of the past which produces the determination to change by achieving a whiter, softer skin.

With the advent of commercialized solutions, these habits just went gone!<br /><br /><br />If the use of lemon in cleaning, sanitizing, removing of stains and even as a beauty agent in whitening skin and acne scars worked in the past, it will still be effective now.

How is it used effectively? The skin and extract of the lemon can be used alone or mixed with other natural ingredients to whiten skin, which depends also on the skin type and the underlying condition.

It is packed in a small bottle that looks more like a small vial. The minute presentation of the product seems to indicate the extraordinariness of the product justifying the above than regular cost too. It just gives you that kind of feeling that you are so incredibly lucky to get a share of that one-of-a-kind serum.<br /><br /><br />A skin lightening serum works in the same fashion as a body lotion and a facial cream, only more concentrated and intense. Thus, it is presumed to deliver better and faster results. Fast, effective visible results in as early as 10 to 14 days are promised with actual results being observed much later than that. With the stiff competition that invaded this niche, marketing advantage can only be earned by focusing on very popular products. The price may be important but if the product is good, consumers will save up for it or put it on top of their priority list. The advertising can make miracles out of any product and that explains why ads may issue claims that are sometimes unfounded or invalidated. The consumers must learn how to read between the lines and how to research to be well informed or the money spent will just trickle through their fingers minus the promised benefits.<br /><br /><br />The choices of skin whitening serum are varied, and price range is also reasonably wide. It is advisable to know more about the ingredients of the skin whitening serum by doing research and by reading so you can feel safe about it. One must bear in mind, you are what you eat. Be careful of products that are already banned like mercury and hydroquinone. Do not be mislead by the cheap price. These are being dumped already so do not let these be dumped on you.<br />You will always have the last say on what you feed your skin. Just always remember to be wise yet safe when you have made a choice.Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38757774.post-43994116786393140332011-07-31T20:27:00.001-07:002011-07-31T20:27:57.187-07:00Important Facts About Skin Lightening RemediesSkin lightening remedies have been sought since olden days as people kept exploring options in order to attain it. The subject at hand has been influenced largely by the concept that to be beautiful is to have light colored eyes, hair and skin. This is due popular cultures adulation of everything western and the commercialism that put Caucasian women on pedestals so that whoever appears different is considered less. There are several alternatives just to look beautiful in the standard set by the western culture: adhere to what is safe and natural, experiment on cosmetic products done through research or try modern alternatives that appear daunting and invasive like surgery and laser?<br /> <br /><br />Frequently, the fundamental process involved in skin lightening remedies is the inhibition of melanin or the enzyme that catalyzes its formation resulting to its significant reduction. What is critical is how others use skin whitening remedies that could be potentially harmful to humans. Some skin whiteners that are used widely were seen to still incorporate the hydroquinine that is already banned in the US; some even contain very toxic mercury.<br /><br /><br />Alternative skin lightening remedies that are natural or with natural ingredients are available as an option. It is fortunate that the demand for these kinds of products has reached an all time high as they are not invasive, safer, more inexpensive and use more products commonly found at home. Some frequently used home remedies are turmeric, lemon juice, potato, strawberry, tomato, milk, honey, just to name a few.<br /><br /><br />Safer alternatives are available such as the tretinoin from natural sources like mulberry, azelaic acid, Kojic acid, arbutin from bearberry and alpha hydroxyl acids (AHAs) in the form of glycolic acid and lactic acid. Vitamin C or ascorbic acid does not only improve the immune system it also brightens skin tone and to a certain extent inhibit melanin production. The use of glutathione either as a tablet or injection became a crace very recently. Other methods like use of laser and cryosurgery can be resorted to for more immediate effects.<br /> <br /> <br />Owing to demand and components safe products are still demanded for but are still rather expensive. With the price, these products are moving so fast in the counters of the rich nations while the developing countries are becoming the dumping ground of products with banned chemicals. So, caution is the word to go by, to be safe.Shabihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01809908396104389182noreply@blogger.com
