Family5 Major Acne Triggers You Need To Avoid by August21(op): 8:18am On Feb 12, 2021
If there is one skin condition many folks around the world would like to magically remove from their skin, I bet you acne would make the top five.

Many continue to wonder what causes acne or at the very least what triggers should one avoid.

This clearly is because we all want a perfect skin. One that is without blemish. The type that music artist love to talk about in their lyrics.

So, if you constantly worry about your skin and how to remove the spots on your face or any other related issues, then do not fret. You are not alone in this quest.

Over the years, folks like you have successfully conquered the “Mighty acne” and its many spots.

We made a list of 5 major triggers of acne and thought you would like to know about it and maybe decide to avoid them.

Before we jump right into it, what is acne?

Many definitions exist but let us look at this one that defines acne as a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that causes spots and pimples, especially on the face, shoulders, back, neck, chest, and upper arms.



What causes it?
As we are all aware, every human being has a skin and our skin is made up of oil glands, pores, follicles etc. All these components play a vital role in keeping our skin healthy and nice. A follicle is a small skin cavity from which hair grows. Every single hair on the human body grows from its own follicle. Follicles connect the glands to the pore.

I hope this helps. You can read more here:

FamilyIs Laser Hair Removal Safe? 5 Things To Know Before Getting It Done by August21(op): 10:35pm On Dec 08, 2020
Today, unlike in the past, a lot of people have come to agree that Laser hair removal is the best treatment for removing unwanted hair. Shaving, Waxing and all other known methods usually do not give long lasting results.



If you live in Nigeria and are as concerned as we are about getting a safe laser procedure, then you should consider these 5 things before you jump right into it.



Before then, what exactly is Laser hair removal?



What is Laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair. During the procedure, a light from the laser is emitted and is then absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy gets converted to heat, which then damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage is what then inhibits or delays future hair growth.

This procedure can help to permanently reduce unwanted hair on the legs, back, bikini area and chest.

What Skin Types should consider laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is available for all skin types, including light and dark skin, and most hair colors. However, before making any decision it is advisable that you see your dermatologist. In Nigeria, the foremost skin care clinic is laserderm clinics. If distance is an issue for you, then you are in luck as they are also the best online dermatologists in Nigeria.

What Are The Side Effects?
Before a procedure, it is always advisable that a patient provides the dermatologist with a detailed medical history. This helps to reduce the risk of side effects as this will open discussions on the risks and benefits thereby helping the provider decide on the best treatment for you.

However, during treatment, some people usually experience burning, stinging, or discomfort. Therefore, many technicians apply a numbing cream to the area they are treating. some people may also have an allergic reaction or skin irritation in response to the numbing cream.

After a procedure, it is advised that a person should avoid exposure to the Sun. This is because the sun can easily irritate the skin, and this could increase the risk of blisters and scars.

What Results Should You Expect?
Most times, hairs may not fall out immediately, however you should not fret. In such cases, it is expected that within some days or weeks you should begin to shed them. Dermatologists all over the world usually advise patients to carry out repeated treatments as this is necessary because hair growth and loss naturally occur in a cycle, and laser treatment works best with hair follicles in the new-growth stage.

Also, because individual skin differs it is always difficult to predict results. To get advice on what to expect for your own procedure, please Click here to book an appointment and get to speak to one of our in-house Dermatologists.

We are as concerned about your health and safety as yourself. So, to avoid making a mistake, we curated Five (5) things you should know before you consider laser hair removal.

Here we go.

Only Use Accredited Laser hair removal Clinics
Yes, you are a no-hair fan and are in a hurry to get rid of those unwanted hair. But before you submit yourself to a quack and everyone begins to hear those stories that touch. You will need to verify that wherever you decide to carry out your procedure is indeed keeping to global best practices and has in-house experts that are truly skilled in laser hair removal.

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks.

No plucking, Waxing, or dying of hair before Treatment
If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing, and dying of your hair six weeks before treatment. That is because the laser targets the hairs’ roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking.

Avoiding over exposure to Sunlight
With laser hair removal comes certain precautions. If you have been used to tanning and maybe enjoying the “Vitamin D” of the Nigerian Sun, you must make some adjustments. After laser hair removal and between scheduled treatments, it is important that you avoid sunlight and use of a tanning bed for six weeks or as directed by your doctor. Incase Use a broad-spectrum SPF30 sunscreen daily.

Avoid Lightening your skin
Before and after carrying out a laser hair removal procedure, it is advisable that you avoid any sunless skin creams that darken your skin. Your doctor might also prescribe a skin bleaching cream if you have a recent tan or darker skin.

The treatment works better on some areas than others.
For ladies who want to bring their “sexy” game back, Congratulations, you are in luck. According to experts who specializes in lasers, bikini lines, underarms, legs, and arms responds well to laser hair removal. While areas where the skin is thicker or hair is thin like the back or chin, are harder to treat.

Finally, As much as you would want to quickly get your procedure done, it is equally important that you ensure you are getting your treatment from accredited facilities.

In Nigeria for instance there seems to be a proliferation of the skin care clinic space and this most times results in confusion for patients when it comes to deciding on the best skin care clinics in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of the country.

An age old adage says, "dress the way, you want to be addressed."

I always wonder why some ladies think it is normal to dress inappropriately.

This dress is great for a club house.

But does it make sense for a public place with sex starved men like computer village?

Funny enough some ladies can wear this to church and not see anything wrong in it.

Youths, please God gave us brains so that he can rest. Use it. You won't die if you do.

Christianity EtcWhite Wedding Is Not Scriptural - Reno Omokri by August21(op): 10:53pm On Jul 02, 2020
Reno Omokri has come out to Condemn "White Wedding".

In a recent Facebook post, the popular former aide to President Goodluck Jonathan said "The power a priest or pastor has to say ‘I now pronounce you man and wife’, comes from man, not God. There is no Scriptural authority for that. God Himself pronounces you married once your parents consent to your union! This is how God defines marriage-“a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one”-Genesis 2:24. I have read Scripture from cover to cover in multiple languages. Scripture has no instance of a wedding being done in a church, temple, or synagogue. Isaac married at home (Gen 24:67). Christ attended a wedding at a HOME (John 2:2-10). Isaiah was a prophet. When he wanted to marry a fellow prophetess, all he did was invite 2 witnesses. And immediately the woman moved into his home (Isaiah 8:2-3). No ceremony at all. Are you holier than Isaiah? Hosea’s marriage was captured in only 1 verse-Hosea 1:3. God made marriage EASY. It is humans who made it complicated. Church has no business with wedding

The ONLY people involved are

* A man
* A woman
* Parents

No pastor or church is involved! It is a family affair"

WebmastersWhatsapp Launches Payments Service In Brazil by August21(op): 5:35pm On Jun 15, 2020
Facebook has launched its WhatsApp payments service in Brazil, enabling people to send money and make purchases from within the chat app.

WhatsApp began testing P2P payments in India in 2018 but Brazil, where the messaging service has 120 million users, becomes the first country to get a nationwide rollout.

To begin with, Brazilians can link Visa and Mastercard debit and credit cards from Banco do Brasil, Nubank, and Sicredi, with processing from Cielo.

In a Facebook post, Marc Zuckerberg says: "We're making sending and receiving money as easy as sharing photos."

People can send money to contacts without leaving their chat and also make payments for products to small businesses. To authorise transactions, senders enter a six digit PIN or use their fingerprint.

It is free to send money or make a purchase on WhatsApp but businesses will pay a processing fee.

The service uses Facebook Pay, which was introduced last year to help consolidate payments services across the social media giant's various platforms.
