Do this cleanse preferrably in the evenings so no need to cleanse the next day. Just wash and go. Also do this just twice a week. |
Do you know oils can clean your skin? Yes really. For those of you who consider a lot of facial cleansers out there too harsh, you may want to consider the Oil cleanse method (OCM). If your skin didn't need oils, it wouldn't produce them in the first place. This is why it is important not to totally strip the skin of aLl its oils by the use of harsh cleansers and soaps.Now its very simple. You need just two oils; extra virgin olive oil and castor seed oil. One of these oils will draw out the excess oils trapped in the pores while the other one will help carry the magnet oil into the pores. Now for oily skin mix:3tablespoons (tbsp) of castor oil to 7tbsp of olive oil. For normal skin,mix 2tbsp of castor oil with 8 tbsp of olive oil Dry skin: 1tbsp of castor oil with 9tbsp of olive oil. Now mix properly in a container and take a small quantity of the total mixture( like a half a tbsp) and keep the rest for the next time you cleanse. Now rub the oil between your palms and massage firmly into the face until it penetrates your pores( you will know when). Then take a warm facetowel and put it over your face. You will feel the pores on your face begin to open up. Do not massage. As the towel begins to cool,remove it, reheat and apply two more times to your face. Your face should now feel smooth and soft to the touch. Need any more help? BB:295b4041, 08133606510.Cheers |
Hello I just might be able to give some helpful tips. The earlier a scar is treated the better so beep me bb 295b4041. ChEers |
@ mirob. I'll do that thank you. |
@ fancier. Hello there. It sounds to me like you have occassional breakouts. This could be hormonal that is maybe just before your monthly cycle. Hormonal breakouts are a bit tricky as it cannot be helped much. You could still prevent breakouts by drinking lots of water and eating plenty of fruits and vegetable. Palmers butter is fine but vaseline contains mineral oils which can sometimes block pores so if u notice any breakouts while using it please discontinue. Make sure the honey you use is pure. For a simple natural cleanse,try the oil cleanse method(OCM). Look out for my post on how to do to this. Cheers |
Hello hotcassy. You haven't given me enough information so I can't give you an answer. How long have the spots been there. Are the spots lighter or darker than your natural skin complexion. What treatments have you tried? What skincare products do you use? Do you have any allergies? Are the spots raised or flat? Cheers. |
@ bukky: if you don't get lemon, you can also use lime. You can use creams with lemon extract but don't forget aloevera and honey. They are also helpful for wrinkles. @ noleen. I'm concerned about the neutrotone and fair and white cream used together. Neutrotone is actually supposed to be a prescription only medication. It contains a steroid known as clobestasol propionate( pls check the tube) not so? This dosage form is meant to be used for a maximum of two wEeks under close supervision by a dermatologist. Using it for an extended period can damage the skin. It also causes dryness.If u withdraw such a cream suddenly it usually has a drastic effect hence your complaint. The fair and white is no better because it contains hydroquinone and in combination with the neutrotone can cause irreversible damage to your skin. Same goes for A3 cream too. Please try and switch to a shea butter line of cosmetics for now. It will help. Cheers. Whatsapp 08109951458 |
And another important point I want to make is that fair and white contains a compound listed as 1,4 benzoquinone also known as hydroquinone. This compound has been associated with numerous conditions including cancer of the skin. We really need to read our labels. Facial steam treatment: just pour some hot water into a bowl set it on a stable surface place a small towel over your head and lean into it gently so that your face comes in contact with the steam coming from the water. This will enlarge your pores so that the whiteheads can come to the surface of your skin. Then you can rinse it off with a mild soap or facial cleanser. By the way is your skin oily? Its more common in people with oily skin. Cheers. |
Hello bukky. My sincere apologies for the mistake with your name. Ok as to your sister. I don't have a picture of what you are talking about so its really hard for me to jump to conclusions.I mentioned previously that you should consider applying lemon juice with a cotton ball twice daily to the dark spots. Also I think she should switch to a product that contains soothing and moisturizing ingredients like aloe vera, honey to reduce the apperance of wrinkles. |
Hello again boogee.It is possible that your sis had some form of dermatitis at the time as a result of contact with an allergen.What kinds of cosmetic products or treatments did you use on her at the time? What is she currently using? Take a look at the ingredients list on the labels on the products. Has she ever tried natural remedies like what I mentioned above? If not,let her do that and see.If she doesn't get any relief from that let me know.I can point you to some more remedies for problematic skin conditions.hope this helps. On the issue of the 'egusi' I think what you are referring to is known as whiteheads. This is caused when your pores are blocked by debris or oils trapped in them. If they do not rise to the surface of the skin, they remain white and embedded in the pores. So what I would suggest is to do facial steam treatments regularly to unblock your pores. You can also make a home mix of honey and egg white, apply for a few minutes and wipe off with a warm cloth. Also make sure that you exfoliate regularly with a mild exfoliant. |
Hi boogee. Thank you for your question. This is a question that I get asked very often.To answer your issue specifically I wiLl need more information from you. First of all you didn't specify where the spots are located. The wrinkles too. Are the spots as a result of acne scars or are they age spots? But generally, wrinkles, spots especially age spots result from oxidative stress and photodamage from the sun's rays. Simple home remedies you could try include soaking a cotton ball with lemon juice and dabbing it on the spots twice daily. Also cleansing with olive oil and moisturizing your skin with shea butter products and aloe vera can help slow the wrinkling process. Let me know if you have any more questions Whatsapp 08109951458. Cheers. |
Frankincense has been known throughout the ages for its skin rejuvenating properties. Egyptian Carrot seed oil and Chilean rose seed oils for their ability to reduce the appearance of scars and blemishes from acne,psoriasis. Goats milk for its ability to gently exfoliate dead skin cells. These are just some of the many luxuries that nature offers the skin. Remember to read your labels and eat healthy.

Do you know that a lot of skincare products being touted as containing 'natural' ingredients are actually fairy dusted? Fairy dusting means adding an ingredient into a product for the sole purpose of marketing. For instance if a cosmetic cream says it contains 'pure aloe vera' extract, the aloe vera actually present in that product might not be sufficient to bring about any real effect to your skin. It is just present on the label just to make the product sell better. Sometimes imported isn't always enough. Please read your labels to be sure what you use is safe and right for you. The first 4 ingredients are usually what that product contains to a large degree. If what you are looking out for in a product isn't there,then you might want to reconsider your choices. For aLl natural alternatives, call or text bb: 295b4041. Cheers all. |
Hello curious dude. Thank you for your question. I don,t know enough of your skincare regimen to say specifically where the problem is but, I will say that a lot of soaps and creams contain harsh chemicals that irritate the skin and cause several unpleasant reactions.so be sure to look out for products that contain natural skin safe ingredients. Aloe vera is soothing to the skin and provides nourishment but it has to be present in lotions and creams in enough quantity to be effective. So be on the look out for that. Read my post on 'fairydusting' for more info. Also use products that contain sun protection factor(SPF) to counteract the darkening effects of the sun. My soaps and creams are handmade in smaLl batches and take 4weeks to cure naturally. I use only 100% food grade ingredients so you can contact me on whatsapp 08109951458. I hope I have been able to help.Feel better. Cheers |
It is very important for people to understand what you put on your body. I believe that's what the leaflet in the packets are for so you can have a little knowledge of what you are taking.In the simplest terms postinor contains synthetic or chemical hormones which are responsible for all the physiological changes we see in the body including the monthly menstrual cycle. Now a drug like postinor 2 will raise the level of the normal hormones in your body making it uncondusive for fertilization to occur amongst other things. Since hormones are responsible for periods,acne,moods etc. Some people may notice a change in these as well. So pleas make sure you read and get all your facts. P.s:there are a lot of fake meds out there so be careful. Always buy from licenced pharmacies. |
Do you know that apart from being the largest organ in the body,your skin absorbs over 70% of what you put on it? If you feed it with rich and pure ingredients,you and everyone else will notice the difference. Acne,eczema,psoriasis, stretchmarks and ugly scars could be all history by going 100% natural. Don't forget to always read your labels. It could make all the difference. Cheers all. Please whatsapp :08109951458 |
Do you know that most commercially manufactured soaps are more or less detergents? A lot of them contain synthetic surfactants which help to boost lather but ultimately end up stripping the skin of all its oils including the good oils needed to protect it from the elements and bacteria.In addition, most of these bars have the natural glycerin content removed from them and so the moisturizing properties are lost. What's worse,a major ingredient is beef fat or tallow obtained as a by product from the meat industry.Sometimes its listed as 'soap base'. Yes, really. So the next time you go shopping for your toiletries make sure you read the ingredients list. A lot of them might be responsible for some of the irritation you experience. BB:295b4041 |

Local foods that contain iron include pumpkin leaves locally known as ugwu.Also okra is very rich in iron.Soy is also very rich in iron.TEN times more than that found in beef.A minor disadvantage is that vegetable sources contain the non haem iron.not esily absorbed by the gut.But this is easily remedied by taking them with vitamin c sources which increase absorption of iron in the gut. |
I know you say you have tried natural remedies but what kind?This is because once you go down the antipsychotics and antidepressant route ,the side effects in the long term can be devastating.The most common of which are the extrapyrimidal effects.Psychotherapy is good.It helps.But exhaust all your options first before opting for the synthesized drugs route.You might want to read about a herb called St.johns wort.It has been used successfully in cases of moderate to mildly severe depression.I have also had a lot of people here in Nigeria say it really works.Read it up and if ure interested then call.All the best.018738625,08060508876 |

Dysmenorrhea is a term used to describe the cramping pains felt by women just before or during menstruation and all the discomfort associated with this.It could be as a result of underdeveloped genital organs,organic alterations such as malformation,inflammation and abcesses,a dysfunction of the ovariesor for purely psychological reasons. Natural treatments such as sage herb,german chamomile,rosemary,evening primrose oil,and crampbark are very effective at relieving cramps.Hot compresses over the abdomen are also known to help. |
Not to discourage you or anything but you will find that the use of antibiotics in treating candidiasis will often result in a depletion of both the bad and the "good" bacteria as well.The good bacteria are part of the normal flora of the vagina and which prevent the growth of harmful bacteria therefore when it is depleted or reduced,the likelihood of re-infection is high.Therefore you will realize that most times after treatment,the infection returns after a short while.So maybe you should consider the use of substances that will balance the vaginal flora.Also you should consider eliminating sugary foods from the diet as candida thrives on sugary environment.Also avoid acidic fruits during treatment.Avoid the use of oral contraceptives until symptoms have cleared.Also wear cotton underwear as candida multiplies whenyou wear synthetic underwear like nylon or stretchy material.The truth is you really cannot rule out natural treatment if you want a total cure |
There are natural remedies that help regulate the menstrual cycle and possibly ovulation.So give me a call and come for a consultation.cheers.018738625 |
Thanks foye57.Only trying to do my part.I would still like lots of questions. |
Simple.Go for an extraction! |
Halitosis is nomally caused by poor hygeine but other factors can also cause it such as gum disease,tooth decay,constipation,inadequate protein digestion.So just incase the problem is from your insides,you may want to first cleanse your insides before using other breath freshening agents.For the mouth proper,use herbs like clove oil in addition with your toothpaste and gargle with rosemary water or chamomile.chew on a sprig of parsley after eating to promote fresh breath.We stock all these so call me to fix an appointment 018738625 |
There have been so many researched western and asian herbs that have been proven to promote health and restore vigour and vitality.Over the years we have watched from a distance and marvelled at their ability to have longevity especially the asians.This has been eventually been traced to their diets and their love for natural medicines.We should incorporate that into our lives so that our life expectancies can increase.For this reason we should start to understand these herbs by collecting information about them and understanding how they work rather than letting people throw things into a bottle or encapsulate things and tell us they do this and that.It is for this reason that i have decided to help those who are interested understand what the benefits of natural medicines are and how best they can serve you based on whatever your health needs may be along with appropriate lifestyle counselling.i run a store where we stock so many of these herbs mostly to be used as teas and with appropriate information including dosing and possible side effects.call me today to make an appointment or post your questions.018738625 or 08060508876 |
