4 Most Safe and Effective Facial Hair Removal for Women

For 80% women and 50% men, face is the most vital part of their body. Almost every woman pays much money for makeup, eye liner, blush, face powder, lipstick and other cosmetics accessories to make them look pleasant and beautiful. But some of them have one crucial problem that is unwanted hairs in their face.

Excessive chin hair or upper lip hair is so disgusting and embarrassing for women, and there are three major reasons that can develop excess facial hair.

Genetics. If your ancestry e.g. your mother, grandmother or other family has chin hair or upper lip hair then you probably will be having the same problem.

Hormonal imbalance. Usually women in menopause tend to experience excessive facial hair due to hormonal imbalance.

Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. PCOS can affect unnecessary hair growth on women’s reproductive age. Sometimes it will appear on the upper lip or chin.

There are a few alternatives for hair removal depends on the amount of hair that needs removing, the frequency, the difficulties, the price and etc.

Shaving — is the most common method of facial hair removal for women and men. This quick, easy fix does not require doctor’s visits or plucking. However shaving is just a temporary fix, many times there will be a small amount of stubble left behind and you will have to repeat the process several times a week if not every day. Shaving is a quick fix but definitely not a long-term answer for women to unwanted hair.

Waxing — It can hurt, particularly when one is new to the method, but leaves the area pretty smooth, and lasts one to six weeks, depending on the person.

Laser hair removal — has become extremely popular hair removal for women because of its speed and efficacy, although some of the efficacy is dependent upon the skill and experience of the laser operator, and the choice and availability of different laser technology at the clinic which is performing the procedure. Laser hair removal must be done by a licensed professional. It is also generally regarded as a permanent hair removal method although some contest this as re-growth can occur in some instances. However, laser hair removal is initially much more expensive than any of the other treatment.

Using Cream Hair Remover – is the simplest and easiest option of facial hair removal for women to remove unwanted hair. They are simple to use and can be carried out in the privacy of your own home. It is very easy to remove the excess hair precisely, as it is possible to have better control over where the cream is going.

A Healthy You and A Healthy Baby

Women who are of child bearing age should begin taking a multivitamin regularly. This ensures that she is getting enough nutrients, especially folic acid. Folic acid can be found in multivitamins as well as in food. This is important because it can decrease the risk of neural tube, which later develops into the baby’s brain and spinal cord, defect such as spina bifida. Studies have shown that healthy women who start taking a multivitamin regularly before pregnancy also reduce the risk of preeclampsia, or toxemia. Toxemia is where the mother’s blood pressure shoots up to dangerous levels and could prove lethal to mother and baby.

The food we eat may not contain the proper amounts of vitamins and minerals our bodies need. A multivitamin will add those important nutrients to our diet. Taking a multivitamin before and through the first trimester of pregnancy will provide the mother and baby with proper nutrition and lessen the risk of malnutrition. Taking a multivitamin does not mean that you can eat a diet that is lacking the nutrients your body needs. Multivitamins are meant to supplement, and not the sole source of these nutrients. Although women need to eat plenty of healthy foods before and during pregnancy, once she is pregnant there are certain foods a woman should stay away from. Women should avoid soft, unpasteurized cheeses, unpasteurized milk, juices, and apple cider, foods containing raw eggs, raw or undercooked meats, fish containing high levels of mercury, and processed meats.

In addition to regularly taking a multivitamin, women should begin a weekly exercise routine. If your doctor says it is safe to do a low-impact exercise during pregnancy, it has been shown to be extremely beneficial. Exercise during pregnancy can prevent excess weight gain; reduce back pain, swelling and other pregnancy related problems; improve sleep; increase energy; and lessen recovery time. If you have an active lifestyle before pregnancy it is okay to continue, but with moderation. Most exercises are safe as long as you don’t overdo it. Safe exercises include swimming, walking, elliptical machines, and other low-impact exercises.

Even though you should drink more fluids while pregnant, women should stay away from caffeine and especially alcohol. Water is the best way to get enough fluids. Drinking more water is important. It helps flush out toxins in the body. It is recommended that women should drink at least one gallon of water a day. Water helps your body prepare for all the changes it is going through and alleviate and discomfort you may have. Studies have shown that if you drink more water, you will retain less water because you are properly hydrated. Drinking enough water helps protect the baby by keeping the amniotic sack wet. Adding to the list of benefits from drinking water is preventing premature birth and lessening morning sickness.

Dye Your Hair Without Strawy, Dry Results

Follow by dying your hair according to the directions in the box. Hair dyes vary, but the instructions on the box tell you how to properly apply their product. Prevent discoloration by making sure to evenly coat all of your hair with the dye.

Let your hair air-dry after you have washed the dye out of your hair. Blow-drying your hair immediately after dying can give it a duller appearance.

I usually wait about a half hour after dying my hair, and then rinse it again in the shower to make sure that I've removed all of the dye. This is probably because I'm paranoid about dying my pillows brown, but I've never done it any other way.

Before you wash your hair, apply your dry hair conditioner, then wait a few minutes for it to set in. This keeps the hair nice and moisturized. Follow by shampooing your hair with the moisturizing shampoo, and then re-conditioning your hair.

Follow the above steps every time you shower, and you'll keep your hair soft and moisturized, instead of dry and crinkly.

Double Eyelid Surgery For Mono-Lids

I love my single lids. They gives me more of a canvas for eye makeup. I'm used to them. They're a part of me, and I would never change them.

Many asian pop music stars become so-called "Americanized", which pretty much seems to entail breast implants and double eyelid surgery. I'm not going to get into implants here since I don't want to break my keyboard out of anger, but monolids are something unique that should not be changed.

Growing up, I actually used to resent having single lids. I eventually realized that double lids wouldn't do anything for me other than putting yet another hole in my pocket, right next to the one that makeup regularly enlarges.

Living in America, almost every eye makeup product is marketed towards women with double lids, because most women have them, even many asian women. That doesn't mean that those products aren't any good for monolids though.

Seeing as I've had them for so long, I'd probably feel strange applying my favorite dark eyed makeup on double lids. I've helped a few double-lidded friends with their makeup, and it's more difficult to apply makeup than on my lids.

What's so wrong about monolids? Nothing at all. Don't change them, don't get surgery for them, don't resent them, don't wish you didn't have them. Just appreciate them and their uniqueness.

Clean Your Makeup Brushes

What I don't do, however, is spend a ton of money on makeup cleaners. I spend enough on actual makeup as it is.

I've found a few ways to clean my brushes over the years. At first, I just cleaned them with water. That didn't work too well, especially with the gel stuff caked on them.

I used shampoo for a while too. Paranoid about the color somehow sticking to the brushes, I managed to find clear shampoo at the local convenience store.

A few weeks ago, I read about using a small dab of conditioner on them. The results were amazing, and the brushes felt softer than ever.

First, get a bit of hand soap lathered in between your hands. Rub the brushes softly between your hands to remove the makeup that's gotten stuck to them. Hand soap is all you really need to get the brushes clean. Just don't rub too hard, or you'll pull the bristles out of the brushes like I did. Rinse the soap out when you're done.

After you've cleaned the brushes, put a small dab of conditioner in your palm and rub the brush with it. Work it through the brush, and then rinse again.

After washing them with conditioner, you'll notice a huge difference in your brushes' softness. I was amazed the first few times I did it, too.

Enhance Your Eyelashes

I've always been haunted by thin eyelashes. Anything that I can do to thicken my eyelashes, or to make them appear thicker, I do it. One of these things is called tightlining.

Tightlining, as the name suggests, involves lining your eyes with eyeliner tighter than regular (from the top) applications of eyeliner. With tightlining, the eyeliner is pushed into the lashes, creating a far more natural look.

I don't use eyeliner pencils for this, since it seems to mess my eyelashes up, poking them in all different directions. Gel liners work, but you can use eyeshadow in a pinch if you're careful.

To start, grab your gel eyeliner and a small, narrow makeup brush. Hold your eyelid up with one hand while applying the eyeliner from the bottom, making sure to push it through the lashes. I was paranoid about poking myself in the eye at first, but I got over it. With the brush there, wiggle it slightly side to side to apply the eyeliner, then move to the next part of your eye. Dragging the brush won't work here, since you'll be brushing your eyelashes all over the place.

The same applies to your lower lashes, except that you don't have to hold your eyelid up.

If you've done it right, the bases of your eyelashes will appear darker. After adding mascara into the mix, I can actually see my eyelashes, which is amazing by itself. I can still apply slight winging to the eyeshadow (pulling the outside of the eyeliner into the crease on the outside of the eye) without it looking too noticeably unnatural.

How Does Menopause Effect Weight Gain?

Hormonal changes do have a part to play in this, although the process is not completely understood. At menopause a woman stops ovulating, her monthly menstruation periods end, and her body produces much lower levels of the female hormone estrogen which is responsible for the ovulation process. Low estrogen has been shown to cause weight gain in animals and it almost certainly is the reason why female bodies change shape.

Reversing course to lose unwanted pounds requires strict attention to healthy eating habits, an active lifestyle and diligence to keep it all on track. If you do not adjust your eating habits you will probably find that your weight increases. A person of 60 just does not need as many calories as a person of 40.

Hormone therapy with estrogen is sometimes prescribed to control menopausal symptoms. Many women will be surprised to hear that studies have shown that hormone therapy does not cause weight gain. Some women experience bloating and water retention in the early stages of hormone therapy but this is usually temporary and they have not gained any fat. Hormone therapy can reduce the risk of heart disease by preventing the changes in storage of body fat around the abdomen and lowering cholesterol. However, hormone therapy has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in some studies.

There's no magic to avoiding weight gain as you get older. The strategies at any age remain the same: Watch what you eat and get that body moving.

Watch what you eat - Eat a healthy, low fat diet with plenty of fiber, and avoid sugar and sugar products. Pay attention to the foods you're eating and slightly reduce the amount of calories you consume each day. Choose a varied diet composed mainly of fruits and vegetables that will help you to safely cut back on calories and lose weight. Reduce the amount of high fat foods you consume. You notice I say slightly reduce calories vs. substantially the reason being is to prevent your body from responding to the ‘starvation effect’ by conserving energy and making extra pounds harder to shed. Weight maintenance is a gradual but consistent process.

Move that Body. Aerobic exercise boosts your metabolism and helps you burn fat. Strength training exercises increase muscle mass, boost your metabolism and strengthen your bones. Spend more time doing the things you really enjoy that also get you moving. Do more gardening. Take longer walks or start riding a bike. Your goal is to be active for a total of 30 minutes or more daily.

Treat BV Naturally

Searching on the internet will reveal various things you can do, some of which are better than others, but most are usually economical and some will help give you a little relief. The key to using natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis is to use a system, rather than a haphazard collection of tips.

However, like many natural cures, they do require a multi-faceted approach which requires a degree of motivation. However, if your motivation is actually getting rid of BV once and for all, then that should be enough!

As BV is caused by an imbalance of the naturally occurring bacteria within the vagina, many natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis will concentrate on strengthening the beneficial bacteria, giving it the ability to fight the harmful bacteria. This might be done by enhancing the diet with probiotics and nutritional supplements or by introducing "good" bacteria directly into the vagina by using a yogurt-soaked tampon. Tea tree oil added to the bath can also help to fight harmful bacteria and cider vinegar can help restore the acidic environment which is necessary for a healthy environment in the vagina.

Other natural remedies for bacterial vaginosis include measures to give symptomatic relief, such as using cold compresses on the vaginal area and avoiding wearing synthetic panties, which will cause the damp, warm conditions in which BV will thrive.

Although not dangerous, if left untreated BV can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease or even infertility. If you are prone to repeated attacks, it is sensible to be proactive and eliminate it once and for all.

A natural remedy will help strengthen the immune system, giving the body the ability to fight and kill the bad bacteria present in the vagina. There are three excellent treatments, all of which are completely guaranteed to work not only to give fast relief, but to stop the condition permanently.

Home Remedies For Bacterial Vaginosis

Under normal circumstances, a healthy vagina contains a variety of bacteria, the most important of which is Lactobacillus. This helps to maintain a slightly acidic environment which prevents the growth of harmful bacteria. There can be a number of reasons why Lactobacillus decreases, but the result is always an overgrowth in harmful bacteria, causing the typical symptoms of bacterial vaginosis. Although not initially dangerous, if left untreated , bacterial vaginosis can lead to pelvic inflammatory disease or even infertility.

Bacterial vaginosis is very common and affects between 10 and 60% of the female population at any one time. Typical symptoms include a gray or white watery discharge, a very unpleasant fishy vaginal odor and unbearable itching and burning.

Conventional medication will usually include antibiotics, which can help to kill off harmful bacteria but unfortunately, as they do not treat the root cause, it is highly likely that the condition will recur. In addition, antibiotics do not discriminate between good or bad bacteria and so this leaves the vagina very vulnerable to further infection.

Home remedies for bacterial vaginosis often include the use of tea tree oil, cider vinegar and probiotic yogurt.

* Tea tree oil- this is a powerful antibacterial substance and a few drops can be added to a warm bath. Alternatively, tea tree oil pessaries can be bought from health food stores

* Cider vinegar- as the normally acidic conditions within the vagina are usually lowered when you have BV, cider vinegar can help to restore balance. Add a couple of cups to a bath and sit in it for around 20 minutes

* Probiotic yogurt- The bacteria within this yogurt are the same as those found within a healthy vagina. Try dipping a tampon in the yogurt and leaving it in place in the vagina for a couple of hours
