Natural remedy for pimples: LEMONS

Pimples sprout everywhere! Would you agree? They grow on face, chest and even on the back of the body. Pimples are scientifically proven caused by oils and dirt. In our biology class, we had discussed that these glands are infected by bacteria. They sometimes get worse, that result to acne. It is one of the girls' major problem. It's irritating especially when it leaves a mark on your skin. It's not always right to cover them up with concealers and foundations. Chemicals trigger it more to worsen.


In fact pimples stress girls so much. Do you agree? When you face a mirror and see a zit, you freak out and apply ointments to let it subside. Some ladies spend money just to buy products that remove pimples on their skins. Some chemical products can really rub out zits on your skins but not all of them are reliable. Yes, NOT ALL OF THEM. You can prove it to yourself that some products are fakes -- they just want to sell out, not to help. Unfortunately, there are products that worsen the situation. Honestly, I consider some (not all) as a risk. There are some that fits your skin types, so have a test for yourself. ;) 

But don't get too saddened by those phrases. There's still a way! A more natural way. 
LEMON!

You can treat your pimples/pimple marks with this fruit. 

Lemon juice can be used alone or with a combination, that's up with your skin. All you have to is to dab you  clean fingers on a cotton in a halved lemon and apply it directly to the pimple. Some lemon-users combine this practice with honey, yogurt or egg. I haven't tried it yet, you may search it if you want to try. That's how easy it is. You can see your pimples dry up. You don't need to touch it or scratch it just because it's dry.
FACT: Worse pimples were caused by dirt.

HOW LEMONS HELP PIMPLES 
Lemon juice is a citric acid and very rich in vitamin C, which has many benefits for all skin types. The citric acid acts to exfoliate the skin, an important step in treating acne. It's also an astringent, thus drying the blemish itself. Lemon juice is also a natural skin whitener, so it can act to reduce a pimple's redness. A bit of lemon is also good for applying to fresh acne scars, both for the exfoliation that speeds up the healing and for temporary bleaching to improve the look of the skin.

Before anything else, I am not telling you it's the best way for everyone. This is based on my / sister / friend 's experiences. You may research about it for more details.

Nail Pamperings




During my highschool days, I am fond of designing my nails like nail polish and nail arts by stomps and machines. Wait, I want to check all my folders to search for that long lost pictures.

Uhhh, wait..

FOUND IT!


The designs were all attention catcher. I used to save my baon for that, imagine! Ha ha! During that time, the  cheapest nail parlor is located at Harrison Plaza. I am not mistaken the parlor's name is Konad? The shop is owned by a Korean Guy or maybe he's the one managing the business. Forgive me I don't know too much about it. The manicurists there are very skilled. Do they master that job? Haha, 'cause I am impressed on how they touch nails and transforming it into a fastidious one. It costs only 150 pesos. Very cheap, right? I'm wondering if they're still there. It's almost 3 years ago since I visited them. There you can see different stuffs for nails like nail pens, glitters, stones, decals, fake nails and a lot more.



My nails painted light green. At the tip, a sticker was attached. 
This was done by my sister, Nikka. 





My Masscom friends got bored in our class after the lecture. What did they do? They transformed the classroom into a salon. Funny and cute it is. I saw them doing the nail cracking polish. It was really awesome. 


 


Some of them are doing nail arts. Some are into simple polish or cutics. Busy bees for their nails. I was amazed with the idea of my friend named Regina (Hi Naf!!) Guess what she did. She decorated her nails using stomps of newspaper. Yes, broadsheet cut-outs. Too bad there's no picture. I find it very good! In fact, I want to do it on my nails. 

But first.. I tried this pretty nail decals which I bought from a tiangge. Very affordable! 








My sister Nikka did this for me
Easy for her to do but for me it's a bit complicated since I am not good at it.
The final coating is colorless so it can stick well.

In a small amount of money, you can absolutely do something that can make your nails lovable!
