Beauty Tips for Dark Underarms


This is something I would suggest doing first, before spending your money on at-home whitening or peeling kits. Not only are these all natural recipes but they cost way way less then buying a kit.


Tip 1:
Lemons
Baking Soda
The most important step: STOP shaving for one month - after the one month begin to wax.
Take half a fresh lemon and every time you shower rub your underarms vigorously with it. After each shower rub baking soda under your arms. STOP using deodorant. Use the baking soda instead! Trust me, I thought I would smell horrible, but the baking soda works better than most all natural deodorants!
Tip 2:

Apply a paste of 1 teaspoon of Gram flour, a pinch of Turmeric powder and 1 teaspoon of Sandalwood powder, some lime-juice and milk. Now Wash it with water.
Tip 3:

Take 1 teaspoon of Cucumber juice, 1 teaspoon of Limejuice and a pinch of Turmeric powder. Apply and leave for 20 minutes before washing.
Tip 4:
Ingredients:
· brown sugar
· coconut oil
Procedure:
Before bath, put 3 drops of oil on your palm. Rub on underarm. Massage gently.
Then put small amount of brown sugar. Massage it in circular motion but gently and slowly.
Do it every other day before bath. It helps whiten your underarm and also helps remove dead cells on your underarm that cause darkness.
Tip 5:
For dark underarms and neck apply lemon juice mixed with cucumber juice and a pinch of turmeric daily. Leave it on your skin for 20 minutes!" That should do the trick without spending a lot of money on skin lightening products..It may take a bit longer but if you have the patience and the time this quick Fix will surely work for most.
Tip 6:
Rub lemon slices on your armpits. Use alum powder instead of deodorants. After a shower rub some baking soda on your armpits. Apply vitamin E oil on your armpits. Wash your armpits with coconut oil. Make a paste using 1 tsp of lime juice, 1 tsp of cucumber juice and a pinch of turmeric powder. Apply it on your armpits and rinse after 20 minutes.

Beauty Tip for Face Pimple

The cause for pimples are many and not only adolescence as popularly believed. Chronic constipation is one major cause, the food we eat plays a very important role. You will have to cut down the fried food, chocolates, cheese and aerated drinks.


Face Pimples
Eat a lot of fresh fruits and green vegetables with a lot of water.

Instead of washing the face with soap, use orange peel powder. Dry Orange peels in the shade for 4-5 days. Powder finely and store. Wash your face with this 2-3 times a day. It clears the face and feels very refreshing. Smells too good.

Get runway hair with Velcro rollers

Runway stylists know the simplest, non-fussy way to get hair to roll properly is to curl it with a curling iron first. First, spritz dry hair with a styling spray (we like TRESemme Instant Heat Tamer Styling Spray), then use a medium curling iron to curl 2-inch sections of hair before rolling hair in Velcro rollers. The new curl simply takes best to the Velcro.

Sexy, Messy, "Just Off the Beach" Waves?

The secret is sea salt spray. I once dropped by one of Manhattan's hottest salons to check in on the new perming trend. I wanted carefree, loose waves and was wondering if they did them there via the perming process.
No can do, said the girl at the front desk, who just happened to have the hair we wanted. "Do you happen to perm your hair?" I asked, oh-so-delicately. She smiled and leaned forward to tell me her little secret. "Nope, I use sea salt. And I make it myself." You too can make a spray using a bottle, several tablespoons of sea salt and water. But if you want to buy it yourself, we recommend our favorite sea salt spray, Bumble and Bumble's Surf Spray.
So skip the perm and first try spritzing sea salt on damp hair, scrunching hair and letting airdry. Since most hair has some sort of natural wave, the sea salt naturally enhances it.

Bangs are hot, just make sure you get the right bangs

We love the look of thick, heavy bangs and side-swept bangs. Just avoid the thin, wispy, all-one-length bangs; it will make your face look "boxy" and dated. A very hot look right now are thick bangs paired with long, wavy layers. Sexy. Especially with perfect highlights. Not ready for the thick bangs? Try side-swept bangs paired with long layers. Layering hair with bangs works best because it's less boxy while allowing your hair to grow out without looking too extreme if you decide to grow out the trend. Just make sure your side-swept bangs hit the middle of your brows -- any shorter and you'll look dated.

Flattering Hair Cuts for Every Face Shape

Round Face Shapes

Typically, if you have a round face, you want to make your face appear longer and leaner and less round. To do this, create less volume around the face.

Styles that are flattering and stylish: Try cuts that fall just below the chin like the long bob hairstyle. Soft, graduated layers like the ones found in this shoulder-length hairstyles gallery are a great bet because they make your face appear slimmer and tend to remove bulk and weight from the sides. Consider wispy and tapered ends like Rihanna's bob hairstyle. The wisps de-emphasize the roundness of your face. Bang hairstyles are flattering, but keep them long or side-swept.

Avoid: One-length, blunt cuts such as the classic bob hairstyle if you have short hair. Curly, short hair is also a no-no. Grow your curls out to shoulder-length or beyond or flat iron them

Square Face Shapes

If you have a square face, you'll want to play down your strong, angular jaw. Texture, in the form of curls or choppy ends, does this brilliantly. You can also get away with short, spiky cuts and long, sleek styles with layers that start at the jawline and continue downward.

Avoid: One-length bob hairstyles (especially chin-length) and blunt-cut bang hairstyles. These will highlight your angular features rather than downplay them.

Celebs who share your face shape: Gwyneth Paltrow, Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Isabella Rosellini and Rosario Dawson

Oval Face Shapes

The oval face is the most versatile shape. You can pull off almost any look: short or long, straight or wavy or even one of the funkier, edgier hairstyles. To find your most flattering style, consider your best feature and highlight it with your hair cut.


If you have gorgeous bone structure, consider an angular bob that shows off your chin. Great eyes? Blunt or side-swept bangs are a great bet.

Make Wavy and Frizzy Hair Straight

  1. Wash your hair with shampoo and then apply a moisture-enhancing conditioner to the ends and leave it to soak in for five minutes.
  2. Brush your hair to remove tangles and to help activate the conditioner and then rinse.
  3. Wrap your head in a towel and leave for 15 minutes to allow your hair to partially dry. Blow-drying your hair when it is completely wet can reduce its moisture and elasticity, which can make it frizzy and difficult to style.
  4. Dry your hair, ensuring that you brush it regularly into the style you want it to take. Point the hairdryer downward at all times to ensure that split ends and baby hairs aren't roused and they are smoothed down. Plug in your straightening iron while you do this so that it can heat up in time for use.
  5. Apply a heat protector product to your hair, which will help to seal in moisture and reduce the damage that can be caused by using a hot straightening iron.
  6. Divide your hair into two layers -- the bottom and top layer of hair -- and clip the top layer to the top of your head so it is out of the way.
  7. Use the straightening iron to mold your hair, starting at the hair nearest to your head and gradually moving the straightener down to the tips. Do small sections of hair bit by bit, about three inches wide; this will give you the most even and effective results.
  8. Remove the clip holding the top layer of hair and follow the same instructions for this section, too. Use a mirror or ask a friend to help you do the back of your head, which can be hard to see and reach.
  9. Apply a shine spray to your hair to give it a glossy finish. You can also use hairspray to hold the style in place for an extended period.
