It makes you feel on top of the world. The compliments that you get from your friends and family are an added bonus. Some people are blessed with a naturally beautiful and glowing skin. Others may have to put in some effort to get the glow. But anyone can take the help of a facial mask from time to time. Chocolate is a wonderful ingredient for making you look beautiful. Of course, you will always have the temptation of putting some into your mouth instead of applying it on your face. You can easily make a chocolate facial at home and it will help you exfoliate your skin and make it soft while adding a wonderful glow after you wash it off.

  1. To make the chocolate facial, you need ½ tbsp cocoa powder, ½ tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp honey, some oatmeal and water. You can also keep a moisturizer handy to use after getting over with the facial.
  2. Take a small bowl and put the baking powder in it. This baking powder is responsible for producing the glow on your face. But take care to see that you don’t use too much of it.
  3. Next, you can mix the cocoa powder. It should be pure and free from any other compounds. Being full of antioxidants, this ingredient heals the skin and gets rid of the wrinkles and other lines. It rejuvenates the skin and brings back the youth too.
  4. A bit of honey also helps in healing the skin and retains the moisture in the skin. This is another important ingredient in the facial. Being a completely natural product, it is very good for sensitive skin.
  5. Finally, you can add oatmeal. Mix enough until the mixture is thin enough to be applied to the skin and yet will not drip down. Since the skin needs to exfoliate every now and then, this is excellent for the purpose. When massaged gently onto the skin, it gets rid of the dirt and the dead cells resulting in a clear and healthy skin.
  6. Water is of course necessary to create the desired consistency. Add little at a time so that the mixture does not become too runny. Keep adding oatmeal and water in turns until you feel that the mixture is right to be applied on the face.
  7. Clean your face thoroughly with clean and fresh water. Then use the facial on the face. Massage it in well so that the exfoliation process gets underway. The facial will take about 10 minutes to do its work.
  8. Use warm water to wash off the mixture on your face. The skin may feel a bit taut and dry after doing the facial. In that case, massage in some moisturizer on your face to make the skin really smooth.

You can feel the difference yourself after getting the chocolate facial done. Not only will you feel clean and beautiful, but it will also boost your self confidence and earn you great compliments in a party.

They love to sun themselves for hours so that they get a great tan which makes them look all the more beautiful. But the tan should be a good one and not the fake orange hue which you might get or even apply with the help of make up. There are certain steps which you should take to ensure that you get a great tan. You should also caution yourself about the repercussions of getting too much sun or sitting under the sun without any protection. So although it seems easy you should still learn how to get tan in the right way.

  1. There is absolutely no need to go to a beach to get a tan. You can do it in your own backyard too. But it is a totally different experience in the beach. The lure of the sea together with many more people sunning themselves like you provides a completely different atmosphere.
  2. There are a few things which you will need to get tan. They are tanning lotion, spray or oil, beach chair and towel. The towel can be placed on the chair at the place where you are likely to be directly under the sun.
  3. A sunscreen is a must when you get tan. Even if it is just for an hour on the beach, you should cover yourself with a sunscreen with SPF 30 or more. The advantage of having the sunscreen on is to prevent the harmful UVA and UVB rays from getting to your skin. You can also develop sun burns. And even if it is not for any other reason, you should use the sunscreen to prevent your skin from getting the red-orange tan. Make sure that you apply the sunscreen at least half an hour before you go out into the sun.
  4. How to Get TanSince your tan lines will show up, hence you can wear the swim suit which you regularly put on when you go swimming so that the tan spreads evenly to the right places. When you wear the same swim suit again, you will have a great tan over your entire exposed skin.
  5. Wearing particular colors gives due importance to your skin. Dark colors like greens, blues and purples tend to hide the fact that you have no tan. Black and white make you look more tanned than usual. But being just the right kind of tanned will help you carry any color with élan.
  6. Don’t become careless after you get the required tan. Always keep your skin moisturized so that the skin does not lose its tan and turn flaky.

Instead of truly tanning yourself in the sun you can use a self tanner which will save you from the trauma of getting sun burnt by accident. But if you do want to get an original tan, then start by sunning yourself for a short time. If you start getting sun-burnt then abstain for some time and apply aloe vera gel to ease the burns. Although tan is a good thing to have and can make you look really great but be careful and learn about its long term effects before continuing.

It can leave your skin dry, chapped and listless but winter is not the only reason for one to suffer from dry skin. Some times use of wrong cosmetics or harsh soaps can also cause dry skin. Dry skin results from the lack of moisture in the skin or you can say when the skin loses the natural oil, the skin becomes dry. While many often ignore dry skin issues with a cold cream or moisturizer, the issue can worsen if proper care is not taken in the early stage. It can lead to painful chapped skin that itches and even gives a burning sensation.

Even the most expensive moisturizer doesn’t seem to bring the glow back to your skin. No matter how much make up you wear, you can never really hide a chapped skin. So the best way is to be careful to the skin problems and find the root cause before you take up a solution. May be the issue lies in your food habits or the skin care products you use! As we already know the cause of dry skin is no doubt lack of moisture or oil in the skin. So the best possible way is to try and retain the moisture in the skin so that it doesn’t tend to get dry. This can be done with various methods.

  • Understand the type of your skin. If you have an oily skin you may not have dry skin issues but if you have a normal or dry skin then you can actually tend to have dryer skin due to seasonal changes. If you have a normal or patchy skin that is half dry and half oily, then you have to be even more careful. You can try coca butter or almond oil on the dry areas sparingly.
  • If you have a completely dry skin then you can use little more oil on the skin and massage it for a few minutes so that the skin absorbs the oil. You can even try grape seed oil or coconut oil depending on the dryness of your skin.
  • How to Get Rid Of Dry SkinIf you do not want oils then buy a moisturizer and apply it after you take your nightly shower or before you go to bed. Most people usually use moisturizer during the day but forget to use it in the night. But as the temperature reduces at night, the skin tends to get drier.
  • Those with extremely dry skin should never use soap on their body or face. The best way is to get a shower gel and face wash that doesn’t have soap content. Once you shower yourself you must immediately use the cold cream or moisturizer. Some people even prefer to use oil while still having the shower, this way the body retains some water, which is good for maintaining natural moisture in the skin.
  • Scrubbing your skin is a good way to get rid of the dry skin. So use a good scrub once a week. For a homemade scrub, you can use sugar and coconut oil on the skin and scrub lightly.
  • Medicinally Aloe Vera gel is also a good way to get rid of dead skin. If you have a normal skin that has gone dry in winter, you can use tea tree oil as well.
  • When you move out, remember to use a sunscreen lotion, even though you are not going to stay under the sun for a longer time. They also help in retaining the skin moisture.

Finally make sure you take lot of fruits in your diet so that your skin glows with health.

It can lead to really damaging problems. Your pet can bring the poison ivy into the home on its fur; children can get harmful rashes on their skin etc. One can find the complete removal of poison ivy a bit difficult but this article can let us know about killing the poison ivy quickly and prevent it from returning. The things that are required for getting rid of poison ivy are as follows:

  • How to Get Rid of Poison IvyDish soap
  • Pesticide sprayer
  • 1 gallon water
  • 1 cup of salt
  • Large trash bag
  • Black plastic tarp
  • Hedge clippers

After you have gathered all the above mentioned things that are required for getting rid of poison ivy, we can proceed towards knowing the process:

  • How to Get Rid of Poison IvyTake a sprayer and mix in it one cup of salt and one gallon of water. Now add 2 tbsp of dish soap to this mixture of salt and water. Shake this mixture well so that the contents get mixed properly. The quantity of salt and water that you use in the sprayer will depend on the amount of poison ivy that you want to remove. If the poison ivy is more in amount, you can use another batch of salt water.
  • Remember to put the bottle of dishwasher in your shower after mixing 2 tbsp of it in the salt water. This will be needed by you after the work gets completed.
  • Make sure that you are covering as much of your skin as possible while getting rid of poison ivy. You will have to wear a long sleeved shirt, gloves, pants and boots. Do not leave any part of your skin exposed as there might be chances of your skin coming in contact with the poison ivy while removing it. Prevention is always considered better than cure.
  • While you go outside to your yard to remove the poison ivy remember to take the sprayer, a large trash bag, hedge clippers and the black plastic tarp along with you.
  • You have to start by using the hedge clippers to cut down any vines that you find have wrapped around trees and other objects. Keep in mind that as and when you cut those vines with the hedge clippers, you have to trash them directly in the trash bag. Any small and young poison ivy plants can be pulled up directly by the roots and trashed in the garbage bag.
  • Now you have to use the salt solution in the sprayer to be sprayed directly over the poison ivy plants. Try aiming for the base of the plants while spraying the solution. However be careful not to spray the solution on any other vegetation nearby as salt can kill everything that it touches.
  • After you have sprayed the poison ivy plants with the salt solution, you have to place the black plastic tarp over the plants. You can also use rocks or small stones to hold them down. This tarp will prevent the sunlight from reaching the poison ivy and will also act as a warning signal for others not to go near it. You have to keep in mind that poison ivy can be dangerous even after it is dead.
  • Now place the trash bag that you are holding directly onto the garbage can. After doing so you have to immediately remove the outer clothing that you are wearing and put them in the washing machine. You have to take a shower immediately by using dish soap instead of the regular soap. This is because dish soap has the capacity of removing urushiol oil i.e. the oily resin which causes rashes in the skin from your body.
  • You shall have to wait for several days before removing the tarp to see if the poison ivy is dead or not. While doing so also you have to keep your body covered with protective clothing.
  • It is strongly advised not to burn poison ivy plants for the purpose of getting rid of them. This is because the smoke coming out of the plants can be extremely dangerous if inhaled and can also turn fatal in some cases.

  • You must be careful about not popping the pimple right away. It’s a common mistake that many people do and harm their skin ultimately. Popping the premature pimple is more harmful as it may cause mild skin infection or, sometimes, a terrible scar. You may not look good with a pimple on your face; but you may look worse if there are pimple scars, that take longer to disappear from skin. So it is advisable to wait until you see the puss on the point of bursting the skin.

Hence, hygiene is a prime feature to be taken care of in this process. The pimple removing procedure needs a sewing needle, warm water, a bottle of alcohol, some gauze and a band-aid. Some people run the needle through a flame to sterilize it. But this is not the right procedure. Rather rubbing alcohol on the needle is an effective method to make it germ-free.
  • How to Get Rid of a PimpleApart from the needle, you should take care that your face and hands are free of germs and bacteria. Clean your hands and face with soap which will also ensure that your face is free of makeup or oil. You can also apply a little alcohol to your fingers and around the pimple and wipe it with the gauze. The safety measures are essential to follow if you want to get rid of a pimple without causing any harm to your skin.
  • Now, it’s time to prick the pimple. Stand in front of a mirror and carefully use the tip of the needle to prick the white part of pimple. It helps the puss to ooze out. Place two pieces of gauze on each side of the pimple and apply pressure with the fingers. Slowly squeeze out the remaining puss till clear liquid comes out of the pimple. Don’t try to squeeze the pimple directly. Once you see liquid or blood coming out of the area, you should know that the pimple is gone.
  • Use an alcohol soaked gauze pad to wipe the pimple and clean the area. It is a good practice to kill most of the bacteria. Also it helps avoid infection of the pimple. Application of alcohol will sting a little, but there is nothing to worry. You can use a band-aid to cover it.
