ALOE VERA GOODNESS

Hi guys!! Sorry it took me so long to do this post.

Nature continues to impress. Aloe vera is excellent for skin care. It is something you would want to add to you every day products.

I have been using this organic aloe vera gel for close to a year now. I prefer gel moisturizers simply because they let me live life without a sticky and shiny face. They are lighter in texture, really refreshing and absorb into your skin. They just sink in! What could possibly be better than that! You can say goodbye to greasiness. Gel moisturizers work best for oily and acne based skin.

Aloe Vera has so many benefits. It possesses excellent moisturizing qualities which makes it good for facial use. It can be used to treat acne as it contains antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. It fights aging skin as it contains vitamins E and C. It also can be used to treat sun burns. It restores your skins natural moisture and protects it for further damage.

I started using the plain Organic Aloe Vera gel but eventually switched to  the one with antiseptic tea tree   oil  because  I felt it  suited my acne prone skin. 

I got them  from Healthy U shops. 

Thank you!!

FEMININE HYGIENE

Hey guys! Today I thought of doing a short post on feminine hygiene. I cannot stress enough the importance of hygiene especially for girls. I don't need to go to detail on the importance of showering .I think it is obvious. Shaving or waxing however! You will allow me. They play a very huge part when it comes to hygiene and give you a clean look when it comes to bikini seasons. Shaving or waxing should be done regularly to prevent the irritation on your skin.
The irritation causes a lot of discomfort. A good wash can help clear this discomfort. I use Hovid O'yes! Feminine Hygiene wash.

It really works for me plus it smells SO good! I try not use it daily as I was recently told daily use will destroy even the beneficial bacteria. A healthy vagina is naturally acidic and contains beneficial bacteria that prevent infections and maintain a normal PH level. You can get one but I would advice consulting your gynecologist before using any washes.

A balanced and nutritious diet that includes plenty of fluids contribute to a healthy reproductive system. Yeast infections are also a pain! Fresh cranberry juice or yoghurt (plain yoghurt is the best) helps prevent yeast infections and are of help when it comes to treatment. If they do not work for you then make that trip to the gynecologist. There are ointments and medications that are very efficient.

Also remember:

• Change panty liners as often as sanitary towels.

• When buying panties ALWAYS go for 100% cotton.

• Add plenty of fruits, nuts, and vegetables rich in vitamin E to your diet.

• Drinking the required amount of water provides the necessary lubrication and creates a milder vaginal scent.

Thank you for reading!  

WATER MAKEOVER

Hi guys!! My first post! Am really excited to share with you guys some of the little simple things I know and sometimes do that have really helped me. I hope they can also be of help to you.

I wish someone had told me earlier about the power of nature. It would have saved me that trip to the dermatologist. Water is a miracle worker! It wasn't until recently when my roommate started a water  challenge that I discovered this beauty secret. She could take 1.5 litres  a day. I found it intriguing and googled further. I found positive reviews from people who drank a certain amount of water a day. I decided to take up a 4 litres  a day challenge for a week just to see if it works. So I started and four days into the challenge I experienced results. My mum and sister gave me these positive compliments about my skin. I usually have mild acne on my forehead and cheeks and they were clearing up! By the end of the week my skin had really improved.
Water has so many benefits aside from clearing up your skin and giving you a healthy and fresh look.. It is the best tool for weight loss because it replaces high calorie drinks like soft drinks and even alcohol and is a great appetite suppressant. So if you are looking to lose weight increase your water intake. Water also helps in digestion and prevents constipation. It flushes out toxins and waste products from your body. Drinking more water gives you a healthy scalp which in turn gives you healthy hair. There are so many benefits! I could go on and on.
Please try drinking more water FAITHFULLY. I promise you will get beautiful results. Your trips to the bathroom will increase but it will be worth it.
Here are some tips to make water a habit.
• Carry a water bottle with you always.
• Drink water first thing in the morning before  doing anything else.( it makes you a bit nauseous but it gets better when you continue)
• Keep water on yourr desk at work.
• When you feel like a snack, try drinking water first.
• Substitute for water instead of coffee or soda.
• Track your water, record the amount of water you take daily. It  will motivate you to take more.
• If you don't like plain water you can infuse it with  lemon, cucumber,  mint leaves, strawberries among other things.
Lets drink up for beautiful glowing skin!
