Cleaning your neck

washing neckForget about pampering and taking care of the neck, people don’t even clean the neck properly while bathing. It is said that a person’s age can almost be determined by observing the neck. So a regular care and hygiene for the neck is absolutely essential.

Make a habit of washing your neck while cleaning the face as comparatively more dirt is deposited on the neck. This can be done in a quick and easy way by rubbing the neck with a towel soaked in warm water.
A proper home-based stuff can be used for cleaning the neck while bathing. You could use any of these:
* Mixture of gram-flour (besan), unboiled milk, a pinch of turmeric powder.
* Mixture of curd and gram-flour in the ratio of 1:2
* Paste of black gram, after being soaked in water.
* Mixture of unboiled milk, barley flour and a few drops of lime juice.
* Paste of gram flour, a few drops of rose water and a little sandalwood powder and cream.

    All u need to do is take a cotton ball and put alcohol on it. Then clean the back of your neck wit it really good. When u look at it it will be covered wit dirt so throw it away obviously. Then when you are done wit that, wet a rag and lather it with soap and wash the back of your neck wit it and rinse the soap off. It may take some time but your neck will lighten up. I used 2 have that problem but I did that 4 a while and it helped.

    Some cleaners may mar the finish on some guitar necks. If you're unsure of a cleaner, take the time to test-clean a small spot on the back of the neck where it isn't likely to be noticed; when finished cleaning, check the spot to see if the cleaner has done any damage to the finish.

    Women spend so much time, energy and money vetting out the best in facial skincare yet often neglect the very body parts links that age first - neck, decollete and hands. The thin skin on these locations need extra rich moisture in order to stay supple

    You can make a skin tonic by mixing 3 teaspoons of borax powder, 2 tablespoons of glycerine and 2 cups of rose water. You can also apply this tonic on your arms and shoulders. We also have a recipe for an overnight cream for the neck, throat and shoulders. Mix equal parts of lanolin and butter. Beat them thoroughly in a double saucepan over boiling water. Rub this cream over your neck and shoulders in upward motions. Leave it on overnight and wash it in the morning.

Blame it on your genes or your lifestyle, but, you cannot deny the fact that these are a blot on your beauty . And they become more prominent as you age. Let’s just debunk some of the myths as well as unearth some of the facts about the causes of these ‘ panda eyes ’.   Dark circles under eyes usually are temporary and not a medical concern. You may be surprised to learn that fatigue usually isn't the cause of dark circles. Instead, the most common cause is nasal congestion. When your nose is congested, veins that usually drain from your eyes into your nose become widened (dilated) and darker.

Coconut oil, due its high saturated fat content was branded as unhealthy and artery-clogging which could cause heart diseases.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.
