Can I possibly make an at home chemical peel myself only using household ingredients?

 RESPONSE Sorry, Not Chemical Peels,! Chemical peels are made with chemicals that can cause damage if being left on too long. Licensed Estheticians are the only ones who can put on chemical peels! But there is a Great Website for at home Facial masks that I love!

 aidaartois said... Wow! Thanks!

Is there a moisturizer that actually fades or lightens dark blotches? Is there something I can do for this?

RESPONSE I Have found that Lemon Juice is a natural at home product that will help reduce the dark spots! It is acidic and will “bleach” your dark spots! I have noticed a HUGE difference and its cheaper! Just put a little on a cotton pad and dab on your face after you wash, tone and before you moisturize!

What is the best eye cream for girls in their mid-20s? Should I be using anti-aging eye cream right now? Also, best moisturizer for girls in mid-20s?

RESPONSE It is never to early to start with the Anti-aging creams! If you are or have been in the sun a lot then most definitely start using it!  I love Advanced Vita Mineral C Complex by Bioelements! Our Face Needs Vitamins C  and E! Also Drink Lots Of Water!

Any suggestions on boosting a man's metabolism in midlife?

RESPONSE Drink More Water  When researchers measured people's metabolic rate before and after downing about 16 ounces of water, they found a rise in calorie-burning capability. The water had a lasting effect as well: Even after 30 minutes, drinkers were using 30% more calories than those who stayed dry

 owlsscream said... Any help for lightening elbow & knee areas?

thanks :)

RESPONSE The appearance of dark skin on the knees and the elbows is very common in many people. There could be several factors that cause the skin on the elbows and the knees to become darker. Some of the most common causes for dark elbows and knees are excessive exposure to the sun, heredity, extra friction on the knees and elbows, dryness, improper skin care, certain diseases and the reaction to some types of medication. Exfoliate the skin regularly, especially in case of dark elbows and knees. There are several mild, but effective scrubs that are easily available at most stores, which could be effectively used to get rid of the dead skin cells, which is one of the main causes of darkening skin.

Any way to completely rid yourself of cellulite and how to lighten elbow and knee area's?

RESPONSE Add two drops each of rosemary and fennel essential oils to three teaspoons of almond oil and massage into the affected areas. - Include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables in your diet. - Mix caffeinated coffee dust with any hand cream and apply on the areas for a minute, everyday. - Avoid alcohol, as it affects the detoxifier machine (Liver)! - Follow a low fat and high fibre diet. - Using a soft body brush on the area proves beneficial. - Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day, as it flushes the toxins from the body cells.

Any relief for ridding yourself of varicose veins or spider marks

 

RESPONSE It’s due to the inefficiency of the vein in bringing the blood back towards the heart. They look like tree branches or spider webs and the walls of the veins are thinner and weaker than the walls of the arteries. The most simplest way of preventing spider veins is to avoid standing still, as it encourages the venous blood to pool.

 The external application of vitamin E oil, witch hazel, cider vinegar, horse chestnut, and rosemary oil, or a compress of the marigold herb in the affected area can be extremely effective. Mud pack may be applied in the affected area and left overnight. Regular sunbathing, cold packs, hot Epsom salt baths, and alternate hot and cold hipbaths are also useful. Dietary changes like inclusion of grains, seeds, nuts, raw vegetables and fruits are among the natural remedies for spider veins. Starchy foods like potatoes and white flour, condiments, and stimulants like tea, coffee and alcohol should be steered clear of. Remedial doses of Vitamin C and E help soothe the painful cramps. Some yoga postures, flex exercises and deep breathing also help reduce the pressure on your veins and are effective spider vein remedies.
