    For the swollen eyes, put some Hemorrhoid cream (not ointment) under your eyes. That is what the models do.

    A natural way is to rub fresh lemon juice on the areas and keep it on for 15 minutes. Then wash it off. You can moisturize those certain areas after the treatments. If none of that works for you, ask your doctor or contact a skin specialist for help.

    Thanks again for this informative post.
    It’s good to know certain things even if not in need at the moment. Sometimes hair damages so quickly.. using gel and hair colors.

    Don’t neglect certain areas of the skin. Elbows, heels, neck, and décolletage need moisturizing, and your scalp and the tops of your feet need sun protection.

    Dark lips: If your black lips have been caused by drinking too much tea, coffee or by smoking, you will need to cut it down. Apply Vaseline with a few drops of lemon juice to your lips regularly at night. This keeps lips moisturized. In the morning, rub your lips with a toothbrush to remove dead skin.

    Apply a paste of ground drumstick pods and leaves mixed with fresh lime juice on the face. Rub gently and let it stay on for 10 - 15 minutes at a time.
    Continue daily once in the morning for 7-10 days and you will find pimples and black heads and black spots slowly but surely vanish.
    You will be pleasantly surprised to find clear smooth beautiful skin that glows and makes you look years younger.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.

Get rid of head lice with these home remedies

Lice infestation is such a bothersome, distracting and embarrassing problem. Surely everyone harbors them at one time or the other. It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps. Though there are many chemical and herbal over-the-counter preparations to remove lice, it is better to refrain from using them for they might also remove a good bit of your hair, while others could have a drying effect on the hair.  There are many home-remedies which do work well but the age-old method of regular combing with a close-toothed comb on all counts, is the most eff...
