Beauty Tips| Bleaching Skin With Lemons


       Hello, this is wat I use to lighten my darks spot on my body or my face. I actually added shampoo that is yellow liquid on the bottle like u can see its very yellow thats because the shampoo. I use it every time I take a bath witch is maybe 4-5 times a week. Make sure you use alot of lotion where you put lemon because it tents to get dry when you get out of the shower. Also before heading out on the sun make sure you put sunscreen, your skin is sensitive. Hope this works for you. :)

1. Start with a fresh lemon or lemon juice. Put some lemon juice in a container or spray bottle and dilute it with an equal amount of water. You can also add honey or aloe, which will are gentle moisturizing ingredients.
2. On clean skin, apply the lemon juice mixture to a test area on your neck first and rinse. If okay, then apply it to your entire face or just on dark spots. You can wash your face over the sink with the lemon mix as well.

3.Rinse off completely with water. For better results, you can repeat this treatment regularly every day or week

Beauty Tips| Can you get hooked on Lip Balm?


                  Its not an addiction in the true medical sense, but yes, you can train your body to rely on lip balm. Here’s what happens: When your lips start to feel dry or get flaky, they send signal to a deeper layer of skin to produce fresh, plump skin cells. But when you put on lip balm, you slow down the signal because you’re creating a barrier layer that prevents the evaporation of more moisture, so the basal layer never gets the signal to produce new cells. When the lip balm wears off, all of a sudden your lips dry out again and your basal layer has to hurry up and start producing your lips  feel dry, you add more lip balm, which once again tells the basal layer, hey we don’t need any more skin cells. And the cycle repeats.

Beauty Tips| Why do some perfume last so long?

                     Fragrances are complex mixtures of natural and synthetic chemicals diluted in alcohol. That alcohol is the first thing to evaporate, which is why you should wait a few seconds before smelling a perfume on your skin. Once the alcohol is gone, the scent ingredients known as top, middle, and bottom notes develop. Top notes are fleeting (think citrus) you smell them first and they disappear within a few minutes. Middle notes create the body of the scent and are usually floral or a combo of fruity and floral. Bottom notes  are the fragrance anchors, they’re the heaviest and stick around the longest. These are often woody, smoky, or musky. So if your favorite scent has serious staying power, it probably has more base notes in the mix
