How to we get rid of blackheads and whiteheads

"How to we get rid of blackheads and whiteheads"

Maintaining a clear and beautiful skin, takes time, consistency and effort. Dermatologist may recommend lots of products, but some of them can be expensive and may actually take a long time to work. You can, however, incorporate some home remedies for blackheads and whiteheads into your daily beauty regimen and in a few weeks, you will experience a drastic reduction or even total elimination of the problem.

● Toothpaste – Toothpaste is an effective blackhead and whitehead remover. Apply a thin paste to your infected areas and let it sit on your face for at least 25 minutes. You will probably feel a burning sensation when you apply the toothpaste, but this is normal and will pass. Once you remove the toothpaste, the top of your blackheads and whiteheads will disappear, but you still need to thoroughly wash your face to remove the buildup underneath. Repeat this home remedy every other day for two weeks.


● Tomato – Tomatoes have natural antiseptic properties that dry up whiteheads and blackheads. Peel and mash a small tomato. Apply the tomato pulp to your blackheads and whiteheads before going to bed. Leave the tomato pulp on your face while you sleep and then wash your face in warm water in the morning.


● Lemon -Wash your face in warm water. Then, squeeze the juice of one lemon into a bowl. Add in a pinch of salt and stir the mixture. Apply the mixture to your blackheads and whiteheads. Leave the mixture on for approximately 20 minutes and then wash your face with warm water again.


● Lime – You can also use equal parts of lime juice and cinnamon powder and apply this mixture to blackheads. Leave it on overnight and rinse it off in the morning


● Cornstarch – Mix about a three-to-one cornstarch to vinegar ratio into a paste. Apply it to your problem areas and let sit for 15 to 30 minutes. Remove the paste with warm water and a washcloth.


● Yogurt - Mix three tablespoons of plain yogurt with two tablespoons of oatmeal. Add one teaspoon of olive oil and one tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. Stir the mixture thoroughly and apply it to the effective area of the face. Let the mixture sit for five to seven minutes then rinse off with cold water.


● Almond or oatmeal – Mix either oatmeal or almond powder with just enough rose water to make a spreadable paste. Apply it to your problem areas with your fingertips first and then apply it to the rest of your face. Let it set for about 15 minutes and then rinse your face with cold water.


● Rice – Soak rice in milk for 5 hours and then grind this in a blender until it is paste-like in consistency. Use the paste as a scrub on affected areas of the body.


● Potatoes – Grate raw potatoes and then rub the area with the mixture. Wash it off after 15 minutes.


● Fenugreek leaves – Crush some fenugreek leaves and mix with water to form a paste. Put this on the face for 15 minutes and then remove it. Do this every night to keep your face free of blackheads.


● Coriander leaves – Mix some coriander leaves and a little turmeric powder with water and form a paste. Use this as a mask to eliminate blackheads.


● Oatmeal -Grind oatmeal into a powder in a blender and then add some rose water. Use this on affected areas for 15 minutes and then wash it off with cold water.


● Baking soda – Prepare a mixture of equal parts of baking soda and water and rub it onto your face or other body areas prone to blackheads. Leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse it off with warm water.


● Honey is also good for removing blackheads. Spread honey on the affected area and remove it after 15 minutes.


Remember – Be gentle to your skin. Never pinch, scrape, poke, press, or squeeze too hard!

服鱼油与阿司匹林 有助防慢性病

服鱼油与阿司匹林 有助防慢性病

最新研究显示,同时服用鱼油及阿司匹林(Aspirin),有助预防与治疗关节炎、冠心病及老年失智症(Alzheimer's Disease)等多种慢性病。

研究员指出,体内因细胞受损或抵抗外来病菌而引发的长期发炎,可能导致关节炎及其他慢性病。

而鱼油里富含的Omega-3脂肪酸能有助于缓解这些病症,阿司匹林也能帮助身体“制造”这些化学物质,减轻体内发炎的状况

日常用品可致癌

日常用品可致癌

界卫生组织(WHO)发表最新研究报告,指日常物品含有的化学物质,可干扰内分泌,影响女性生育,甚至令儿童患上血癌,建议全面禁用有关化学物品。

玩具、沙发、地毡、胶地板、化妆品、信用卡、汽车表板......这些我们日常接触的东西,原来一直毒害我们。世界卫生组织(WHO)发表最新研究报告,指这些日常物品含有的化学物质,可干扰内分泌,影响女性生育,甚至令儿童患上血癌,建议全面禁用有关化学物品。

WHO报告指,日常物品中,很多都含有用作塑胶软化剂的邻苯二甲酸酯、双酚A、阻燃剂等化学物质,经长期接触后,会扰乱人体荷尔蒙分泌,可导致不育、乳癌、前列腺癌、哮喘、胎儿天生有缺陷等。这些化学物质对幼童影响特别严重,可能阻碍小孩神经系统发展,影响他们的学习能力,也可能增加他们患白血病的风险。

这份报告由10国科学家经两年研究写成。为了未来世代的健康,WHO建议全面禁用有关化学物质。

常做善事会更长命

科学证明:常做善事会更长命

人们常说:“施比受更有福”,这个说法现在有了科学根据。

美国布法罗大学的研究证明,慷慨施舍不仅能让人显得更有爱心、更善良,还能使人更加健康,甚至达到延年益寿的效果。

负责这项研究的迈克尔教授针对846名不同年龄层与性别的对象,进行了一项长达5年的监督与调查后发现,那些经常捐赠金钱或物资帮助贫困群体的人,比没有这么做的人来得长命。

研究也指出,较慷慨大方的人如果遭遇重病、被抢劫、失业、或丧失家人等不幸事件时,存活下来、保住性命的几率比较高。

迈克尔教授解释,这个现象可能是因为较慷慨、乐意助人者,内心也比较开朗,他们从事比较多有益身心的活动,面对逆境时,也能以比较正面积极的态度应对。
