Sometimes, they are result of hirsutism, a condition of male-pattern hair growth, genetics or hormonal imbalance. About 5% of women in the U.S. have hirsutism.  It’s often caused by genes, hormones, or medication.
However, instead of visiting the parlor every single week, here is some more natural solution you can use at home. This natural remedy will remove the unwanted hair but also will stop the growth of new hair.
The two ingredients are turmeric and milk. The turmeric is used in many beauty products, it cleanses the skin and makes it glow. But it also destroys the follicles in the hair and it stops its growing.
FIST METHOD
Ingredients:
  •  one tablespoon of turmeric
  •  one tablespoon of milk
To start, mix the two ingredients in a bowl and place on your upper lip right after. Wait for the mixture to dry and rinse after 15 minutes. Washing can also help close the pores on that region.


SECOND RECIPE
Ingredients:
  • 1 tbsp. of turmeric
  • 1 tbsp. of water
As in the previous recipe, just mix the ingredients and apply the mixture on the upper lip. Because of the water, you will need to wait more than 15 minutes until it dries. You can prepare this mixture every day for a month in order to remove the upper lip hair permanently.
THIRD RECIPE
Ingredients:
  • one tablespoon of turmeric
  • one egg white
  • ½ tablespoon of sugar
Mix the ingredients until they become like a sticky paste. Apply the mixture on the upper lip region and leave it to dray. After it dries, peel it off and wash off with cold water. For best results repeat the technique 2 times a week, for four weeks.
A clean, hair-less upper lip make women more confident, makes all the makeup she wears extremely appealing, and in general adds a glow to the skin.
Girls, you don’t need to worry about upper lip hair anymore. Just put together these basic kitchen ingredients and you will have a hair-free face, glowing and charming.

Contrary to popular belief, whiteheads and blackheads are a form of acne. Making things very simple, acne may be divided into two categories: pimples & cysts and whiteheads & blackheads. Blackheads and whiteheads, known as comedones, aren’t of course as blatant symptoms of acne as pimples or cysts but certainly need to be addressed. They also can be more numerous on the face and shoulders.
Acne is not only the most prevailing skin problem, but it also affects people of all ages, both genders and all ethnicities. Over 85% of teens and young adults, and 35% to 40% of adults suffer from this condition. Actually, during the last ten years, the average age of an acne sufferer increased from 20.5 to 26.5 years old.
Acne results from inflammation caused by too much skin oil (sebum) clogging the skin pores. More specifically, the sebaceous glands and dead skin cells known as corneocytes build up in the pores, and because the sebaceous material contains a lot of P. acnes bacteria, the surrounding skin now gets infected creating a red bump known as a typical pimple. The medical term for this red bump is an inflammatory papule.
Blackheads, also known as open comedones, are hair follicles that have a wider than normal opening. They are filled with plugs of sebum and dead skin cells and have undergone a chemical reaction resulting in the oxidation of melanin. This gives the substance in the follicle the typical black color.
Whiteheads, known as closed comedones, are follicles that are filled with the sebum but have only a microscopic opening to the skin surface. Since the air cannot reach the follicle, the material is not oxidized, and remains white.
How to Make Your Whiteheads and Blackheads Disappear

How to Care for Blackheads and Whiteheads


The keys to caring for acne are persistence and patience. There is no overnight cure for acne, including blackheads and whiteheads. Using a treatment that will  prevent acne from forming is the only real way to get rid of these types of skin problems. This process can only happen from the inside out, with possible help from some topical cleaning agents that can help control bacteria and remove excess dead skin cells that in consequence, if used regularly, may help improve follicle health. Beware of cleaning products that claim that they treat acne; they may ONLY help to diminish the symptoms. Some of these cleaning products can be used in conjunction with, but not instead of, a  treatment that actually removes the causes of acne.



Treating and preventing acne is the only real way of treating acne long term since it is focused on helping the body to regulate secretion of the sebaceous glands to produce less sebum. To further improve the results, such a  treatment should be accompanied by  good skincare practices that limit the inflammation resulting from mixing sebum, dead skin cells and bacteria.
Acne is not caused by eating certain foods or by “dirty” skin, so even though proper skin hygiene and living a healthy lifestyle may be helpful, they don’t treat acne. To the contrary, excessive scrubbing does not help, and can even make the skin more irritated and inflamed by creating abrasions that further invite bacteria or just simply provoke the skin to protect itself by producing more skin oil.
Skincare Regimen for Blackheads and Whiteheads


The best cleaning routine for comedones (blackheads and whiteheads) includes twice-a-day cleansing with a mild, non comedogenic cleanser, regular use of chamomile astringent, occasional use of witch hazel to dab on the effected areas and  application of skin masks to aid in the removal of excess sebum and dead skin cells that contribute to the buildup of oil in the follicles.

WARNING!
Frequently used methods of blackhead removal include squeezing with fingers and the use of a metal extractor or suction. While these methods may be successful at removing the blockages, they also may cause scarring and permanent damage of capillary blood vessels (small blood vessels that “ feed” the skin with blood, nutrients and oxygen), and skin tissue damage that, over time, can deplete the skin of natural oils and speed up the skin aging process. Additionally, many facial cleansers and scrubs (especially those that include fatty or oily substances or utilize beads, crystals, parts of grated nuts or other cleansing and/or exfoliating agents) may actually cause more damage by depositing clogging agents onto the skin as well as making the skin more susceptible to bacterial infection through unwanted abrasion.

Egg White & Lemon Mask
Lemon juice is a powerful ingredient in eliminating oil and bacteria, clearing away blackheads, tightening pores and even lightening sun and hyperpigmentation spots. Egg whites brighten and tighten the skin making it feel lifted, so your pores will be smaller after this mask. Egg whites also aid in clearing up old breakouts. This mask should be applied after you’ve cleaned your face, and should not be used if you’ve already applied a mask the same day.
Ingredients
1 egg white (separate the yolk and the white completely)
1 teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice (organic if possible)

Use a small bowl, and thick cosmetic brush made of natural hair (no plastic brushes please!). For better application, choose a flat and broad bristle. Wash the brush before use. Clean after using with hot water only (no soap).
Instructions
Using an eggbeater or fork, mix the egg white and lemon juice well into a smooth consistency in the bowl.

Apply on a clean face with a brush, covering your entire face; avoid contact with eyes and eyelids. If the mask gets into your eye, rinse well with warm water immediately.
You may apply two layers of the mix if you have enough of it.
Relax for 20-25 minutes.

You will know that the mask is ready to remove when you feel it is stiff and dry on your face. Peel the mask from your face with your fingers.
Finish with a chamomile astringent.

How to Make Your Whiteheads and Blackheads Disappear

What are blackheads? They are pores that are covered by dirt, sebum or pollution factors. There are numerous ways to get rid of blackheads. You can choose to try cosmetic professional treatments or more simple treatments you can do at home.
Some of these treatments are more common and well known by lot of people while others are a little bit strange but extremely efficient.
Today you will find out about 3 such strange treatments against blackheads. As unrealistic as they sound, believe me, they do wonders.

Toothpaste
First you need to get your nose, chin or cheeks wet. Then place little toothpaste on a toothbrush with soft brushes (cover like ½ of the toothbrush). Place the toothpaste under water then gently clean the skin for a few minutes. Repeat this treatment daily until the blackheads begin to disappear.
Gelatin and milk
In a bowl mix very well one tablespoon gelatin with one tablespoon milk. Place the bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds. Simple apply the resulted mask on your face: your nose, chin and cheeks. After the mask dried take it off (you need to leave it for 10-15 minutes).
Liquid glue
The dried glue will clean your skin of blackheads just like the gelatin and milk mixture.
First of all you need to find liquid glue as natural as possible. Before you apply it you need to allow your pores to open. So make a little sauna face. Then apply the liquid glue on your nose, chin or cheeks and allow it to dry. Then remove it like you remove any exfoliant mask.

3 STRANGE WAYS TO GET RID OF BLACKHEADS AT HOME

If you put these products on your face, you will regret it.


11 Things You Should NEVER Put on Your Face
Via: cosmopolitan.com

1. Hair Spray. You may have heard somewhere that it will help set your makeup, but it should NEVER be applied to your face because it contains lacquers and alcohol that will dry our your skin, causing your skin to become dehydrated and you to look older. Plus, hair spray has repellents in it that could irritate your skin, leaving it red and bumpy.
2. Deodorant. Just because it keeps your underarms from sweating through your shirt does not mean it should be swiped over any area of your face that might perspire in hopes of keeping your makeup from melting down your face. You want your skin to be able to breathe. It's doing what it needs to for a reason, and you don't need to stop it. If you want to learn how to keep your makeup in place when temperatures rise, read this.




3. Hair Color. If you color your hair regularly and want your brows to match, use a vegetable-based colorant or tinted brow mascara on your arches instead of your at-home hair color, since the formulas are less harsh. Box dye can be too irritating for the skin around your eye area and can even make your eyes burn and tear up.
4. Vegetable Shortening. Even though this can be applied to your body skin to help treat psoriasis, it's far too heavy for your face and may even clog your pores, leading to breakouts.

5. Shampoo. The same surfactants that clean your hair, stripping it of excess oil and dirt, are not the same ones that you should be cleansing your skin with. Shampoos are manufactured to clean and do things to your hair shaft, they're not designed to deal with the delicate molecules of your skin. If you washed your face with shampoo, it would end up being really dry and flaky.

6. Hair Serum. Just because a formula has the word "serum" on the label doesn't mean it's the same kind of serum that your skin can handle. You're trying to coat the hair shaft with different types of ingredients that you wouldn't normally use to treat fine lines or any other skin woes. Plus, a lot of them contain fragrances that can heavily irritate your facial skin.

Concealer. It’s every woman’s trusted confidant. Always there for her–cooperating when her skin isn’t. Naturally, we’ve developed a strong bond with our favorite concealer. Thanks to the immeasurable time we’ve spent together, we’ve come to find there’s one thing you should never do with concealer: limit its powers. If you’re only using the complexion-perfector to cover up dark under eye circles and the occasional blemish, you’re not using it to it’s full potential. When wielded with precision in these six places, your concealer brush can do so much more than simply camouflage imperfections. Any time even skin tone and a luminous complexion are on the agenda, grab your faithful companion and turn to this foolproof concealer map. Read More


Your Foolproof Concealer Map

Your Foolproof Concealer Map

When you apply foundation to your entire face, you’ve created a blank canvas, so you have to go back and add the dimensions back in. Remember in art class how you used darker shading to push an area away and lighter shading to pull an area towards you? That’s all we’re doing here! It creates the illusion of a stronger jawline, more chiseled cheeks and a slimmer face. 


How To Contour And Highlight Perfectly

And the easiest way to do this is by drawing the letter E on each side of your face to contour and the letter C on each side of your eyes. Anyone can do that, right? I’m showing you how to do it with both cream and powder formulas together for staying power, but you can certainly do one or the other.
TOOLS:
Cream Foundation or Cream Bronzer - you can simply find a cream foundation that is four or so shades darker than your foundation (I love Jouer Age-Repairing Perfector Foundation in Tawny for fair to medium skin tones or Almond for darker skin tones) or you can try Hourglass Illume, a cream bronzer + highlight duo that I’ve been using on my clients with fair to medium skin tones for at least three years now.
A Flat-headed Foundation Brush - this really presses the cream into the skin and does all the work for you. I love Dior Full Coverage Fluid Brush for an investment but Flat Top Kabuki Brush will get the job done too.
Blush/Contour Brush - the best brush to blend cream foundation or bronzer is a natural-bristled round-headed one that is densely packed like the Cozzette Contour Stylist Brush, the iconic must-have for makeup artists at Fashion Week around the world.


Bronzing + Highlighting Powder - you can certainly buy them separately but I love Trish McEvoy Dual Resort Bronzer + Highlight because it’s the perfect amount of warmth with a hint of shimmer.
Angled Contour Brush - I love Sigma’s Large Angled Contour Brush for its fluffy angled bristles.

STEPS:
After you’ve applied your foundation all over your face and neck but before any powder, dip your brush into the cream bronzer/darker foundation to load it up.

Swirl the brush on the back of your hand to take away some of the intensity.

Start at the middle of the top of your hairline and begin the letter E by tracing along the perimeter down to your temple.

Suck in your cheeks to see exactly where your cheekbones are then continue the middle prong of the letter E by sweeping the brush from your temple to just underneath the cheekbone (to hollow it out).

Go back along the underside of your cheekbone to the ear then down to your jawline. Finish the E by sweeping the brush just on and underneath the jawline. I like to also fill in the whole neck to really shade it, but I have profile issues and do anything I can to make mine more pronounced!

Repeat on the other side.

Now swirl off any remainder on a tissue or the back of your hand and use the same brush to fill up with the cream highlighter.

Draw the letter C by holding the brush in the middle of your forehead just above your brow and outlining the eye all the way to your temple then down under your eye just above your cheekbone. This will pull that area forward and really highlight your eyes.

Repeat on the other side.

Take the dry blush brush and go back over the E’s and C’s in swirling motions to really blend it into the skin. You could also use a Beauty Blender sponge to do this.

Finish by grabbing the angled contour brush and going over the E with the bronzing powder and the C with the highlighting powder.

How To Contour And Highlight Perfectly

You will need:
For basic mixture:
  1. coffee (it is a powerful antioxidant and stimulates circulation);
  2. Epsom salt;
  3. anti-cellulite oil (try to find a decent brand with less chemicals) or coconut oil;
  4. some plastic wraps.

Easy Way to Get Rid of Cellulite



After coffee treatment:
  •  grapefruit essential oil (eliminates toxins, has a toning effect and also helps with losing weight);
  • lavender essential oil (great for stretch marks, tones and revitalizes skin);
  • lemon essential oil (stimulates circulatory system and strengthens vascular tissues);
  • orange essential oil (relieves fluid retention, softens the epidermis and stimulates blood circulation and lymph fluids);
  • cypress essential oil (improves circulation and strengthens blood capillaries);
  • rosemary essential oil (detoxifies the liver and tones the skin);
  • a carrier oil like: olive oil or sunflower oil (this will be used in combination with the rest of oils, because all essential oils applied on skin without being diluted can cause irritations and skin sensitivity).

Directions:
1. Make a strong coffee and put it into a bowl (have more coffee grounds and less water), then add some salt to it.
2. Wait until the salt dissolves and add some anti-cellulite oil or coconut oil to the mixture (make it homogeneous, you don’t want it very watery, it has to have a creamy consistency, more like a paste).
3. Take the mixture and rub it to the parts of you that need it by using circular motions. Apply a little pressure on the legs while doing this.
4. Take the plastic wraps and wrap the area letting it sit this way for at least half an hour, then you can unwrap.
5. Clean yourself in the shower then you will apply the essential oils with the carrier oil.
6. Make a mixture of equal parts of the essential oils (think about how much you would need depending on the area affected) and a carrier oil.  As a rule,  for every 1 tablespoon of carrier oil, you’ll want no more than 9 drops of essential oils. For example, because we have 6 essential oils in the recipe, you can use 3 drops of each one and you will need 2 tablespoons of carrier oil.
7. Apply the oil on the affected area and massage until it is absorbed in the skin, you will start feeling small differences from the first time applying this method!

Easy Way to Get Rid of Cellulite

Even though they are quite invisible and only you can see them if you look very close in the mirror, blackheads are one of the most annoying things ever. First of all, if you have blackheads this means your face is not completely clean. Second they are unaesthetic and you just one them gone.The beauty industry promotes numerous cosmetic products to help you with get rid of blackheads. But, there is always the natural alternative, which I prefer and I recommend.

Before you try any of the following natural treatments what you need to remember is: NEVER squish and squeeze. No good comes from these, trust me. All you need to do is clean your pores, and here are some ways you can do this at home:
  • Egg whites
You need to make a face mask from an egg white. Spread a thin layer and allow it to dry a little. Then continue with 2 more thin layers, allowing each one of them to dry before you apply the next one. Leave the mask on your face for 10-15 minutes and then gently scrub the mask of your face with warm water.
It is true that the smell is not the most pleasant one, but the result makes it worth the sacrifice.
  • Honey
This one is as simple to make and apply as the first one. Just soak your fingers in a jar of sticky honey and start scrub the areas where you have blackheads. The nasty stuffs that leave inside your pores will stick to your fingers as you take them off your face. Simple, right?
  • Clay
Water and clay is all you need: 1 tablespoon of each. Mix them and apply the mask on your clean face. After 20 minutes, rinse it off with warm water.
As you can see, all 3 masks are based only on 1 ingredient. Most probably you already have at least 2 of them already in your house. So, why not give a change to nature? It always comes to your rescue.

Remove Blackheads in a Natural Way

People all over the world keep obsessed by the color of their teeth,so they keep looking for ways to Whiten their teeth rapidly. To be honest, I’m one of them. Yet, after years of research, I came up to the conclusion that the natural way is the best one.

1. Baking Soda and Lemon Juice

Sodium bicarbonate is mildly abrasive; gently washing and scrubbing away teeth surface stains to give you back the natural color and shade. Sodium is known to contain a lot of alkaline which is the opposite of acidic nutrients, so I would recommend if you have a very acidic mouth or eat a lot of acidic food, it will help balance out the Ph. It will also reduce the acidity of the lemon juice, which acts as a natural bleach of sorts.

2. Teeth-saving Snacks

Snack on saliva-producing foods like apples, pears, strawberries, celery and carrots,” says Thomas Connelly, DDS, a New York City cosmetic dentist. The additional saliva they produce helps remove bacteria from your mouth and whiten your teeth.

3. Coconut Oil Rinse

Rinsing your mouth with coconut oil (called ‘oil pulling’) is a special remedy that people experienced and it helped them to whiten their teeth. The lauric acid in coconut oil can rid your teeth of bacteria found in plaque that can make them yellow. It is also supposed to promote gum health, and help keep your breath fresh.

4. Vegetables Greens

Load up on spinach and other dark green veggies, like broccoli and kale. These leafy greens contain a mineral compound which produces a film that covers teeth and protects against stains.

5. Lemon

The bleaching property present in lemons can also help get rid of yellow discoloration. In fact, gargling with lemon juice and scrubbing your teeth with lemon peel is one of the best ways to make your teeth white again.

Mix together a few drops of lemon juice and some salt.

Apply the mixture on the stained teeth and rub the paste vigorously over your teeth and gums. Leave it on for a few minutes and then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.

Do this twice daily for about two weeks to get rid of tartar and the yellow tinge.
