How to whiten your teeth naturally

Everyone wants a white smile :). So here is how to get it. This is natural and you use items most people have in their homes
SUPPLIES:
1. Strawberries (2)
2. Baking soda
3.A bowl
4. A spoon
5. A tiny bit of milk

So the first step is putting the strawberries and baking soda in the bowl. Mix them and make sure its a mush ( like apple sauce) And then ad about two teaspoons of milk. Dip your toothbrush in the mixture and brush your teeth with it. This will last about two days so use sparingly and keep refrigerated. You should see a change in about a week or so.

Softer Hands at home

 Brown Sugar and Milk- Mix brown sugar and milk in a bowl until you get a liquidy substance. Then place your finger tips in the bowl, scoop some up and rub it with your hands, into your hands. The coarse grains in the brown sugar will help peel away dead skin and refurbish it. Then once your hands have been scrubbed for five to six minutes wash your hands. Pat dry with a towel and put on a hand cream moisturizer. If you really want this to soak in wear cotton or latex gloves when you sleep. Do it right before bed.

Self Tanners

Many People have asked me about self tanners...Self tanners are not a permanent thing but should not be applied on the night before an important event.

1. how self tanners work; they work by dyeing the top layer of the skin. They last about three to five days and gradually wear off.
2. How do you apply self tanners?
•  It depends on the product. Most self tanners have instructions on the bottle. The main way is squeezing the product into your hand and applying it. Then wash the product off of your hands because they absorb the color more than any other part of your body. Some products come with a clothlike glove. You put the product onto the glove and rub it into your skin. Always exfoliate your skin before using self tanners because of dead skin cells sitting on the top layer of your skin.
3. Why does self tanner stink? Not all self tanner stinks, sometimes its the product and sometimes it the chemical reaction with your skin.

First Impressions-Nair All Natural Milk and Honey Roll on Wax

Recently I bought a Nair Roll on wax kit. I first decided to buy this when i saw the commercial. I'm going to walk you through exactly what I did and how I feel about the product.
        You follow the instructions on the sheet. I did the steps and put the wax in the microwave. It rolls on very well and is quite runny (a good runny). and i continued and placed the paper pieces over the wax and let er rip. I noticed that it leaves patches of hair everywhere. It didn't work as well as I hoped. In total  I would give this product a 6 out of ten.

Since razor burn usually results in scabbing and raised skin, the best way to get rid of it is to allow it to heal before shaving again. There are of course, additional steps you can take to speed up the healing process:

• Use a mild exfoliant that contains salicylic acid daily. This will slough off old, dead surface skin that otherwise could clog up your pores and limit oxygen to the effected areas. Do not scrub razor-burned skin. (ow!)
• Use aloe vera or tea tree oil creams and sprays. They will speed up your recovery and soothe that raw feeling that accompanies razor burn.
• Shave carefully until it heals, switch to a razor with a single-blade or wire guard for a while. The shave won't be close, but you won't be slicing your skin up before it can heal either. (Learn how to get rid of razor bumps)
• If you continue shaving, combine these steps with the preventative steps in the next section.

Do not:

• Use any products containing alcohol - it will dry out your skin and increase irritation.
• Scrub or scratch razor burned skin. It will increase irritation and the risk of infection.
• Apply colognes or perfumes to razor burned skin.

3. How to prevent razor burn

Proper razor burn prevention involves reducing the likelihood of slicing off anything other than hair. Adopt the following steps for a few weeks and see how they work for you:

1. Prepare your skin and hair for the shave:

• Bathe and exfoliate first. You can use a loofah, shower puff, or a chemical exfoliant that contains salicylic acid to remove dirt, oil and dead skin so the razor will glide smoothly and evenly.
• Cover the area to be shaved with conditioner or skin lotion and let it sit for a few minutes prior to shaving - don't rub it into the skin. This will soften the hair and make the shave much easier. Don't let it sit longer than five minutes either as your skin will start to absorb the moisture and puff up, keeping you from getting a close shave. Alternatively, you can soak some wash cloths with the hot, steamy water and apply them to your skin for a few minutes.
• Trade in your shaving cream or gel for some old-fashioned shaving soap, a mug and a badger brush. These soaps are less expensive, provide superior lubrication, and the use of the brush stands the hair up for a superior shave. Find them at your local supermarket.

2. Shaving technique:

• Make sure your blade is clean and sharp.
• Shave in slow, small strokes tapping the razor under hot water to clean it between each stroke. A blade full of hair won't sit evenly against the skin.
• Loose skin should be held taut - but not stretched.
• Apply only as much pressure as is needed.
• Shave with the grain as much as is possible to achieve the closeness you desire.
• If you must double back over an area, apply more lubricant (soap or cream) first.

3. Post-shave skin care:

• Splash cold water or run an ice cube over your freshly shaven skin to close up your pores. Ice works just as well as alcohol and will not dry out your skin.
• Apply an aloe vera (For other uses of aloe vera, read 12 wondrous benefits of aloe vera) or tea tree oil balm to moisturize, soothe and cool your skin.

If after following the previous steps you still find yourself getting razor burn and ingrown hairs, consider experimenting with alternative hair removal methods. There are creams and powders that dissolve hair as well as waxes and sugar solutions that pluck it. If you're set on shaving, see if your barber or stylist will teach you how to shave with a straight razor.
