Bleaching Skin or Nails. Quickie:

Quickie: Bleaching Skin or Nails.

So, we have talked about other options to remove dye stains from skin or yellowing of nails, but after receiving questions on it, one other option is bleach. Yet, I don’t recommend it for little or sensitive hands, unless using extreme caution.

It’s very effective. Bleach will burn off, the discolor. It only takes a few seconds to a minute or two, to work completely. After that, wash your hands and skin immediately and thoroughly, to neutralize the area.

Safety is a must, when doing this method. Be sure to keep it away from mouth, eyes and broken skin.

Tips in Action: Freshen Your Hair.

Sometimes odors can stick to your hair, whether it’s from smoke, smog,
cooking, etc. That’s alright, because in most cases, the shampoo will
wash out the odor. But, what to do if you don’t have time to wash, before your busy life takes you to the next place. Make your hair smell fresh as a rose…or what ever scent you prefer actually.

Here’s an easy tip. Using a body spray to freshen up your hair is a great way to go. You must flip your dry hair, while spritzing above it and allowing the scent to fall into place. Then, while up right spray above your head and allow the scent to cascade into your locks.

(Side Note: Using perfumes can be too heavy weight and scent wise. Body sprays will give a light delicate smell and weight to your hair.)

Tips In Action: Unable to Wash your Hair Today.

When your hair looks greasy, but you have no time to wash it. Easy and quick tip. Grab the cornstarch! Cornstarch will absorb the grease out of your hair and leave it looking clean and ready.

First pour some into your hand, rub hands together and shake off excess. Then stroke through your hair starting from scalp up the shaft. Repeat until the white of the powder is unnoticeable.  The final look should be soft and natural. Your hair should feel clean and ready to style. (SIDE NOTE: Cornstarch should not block pores, but if method is used repeatedly without washing hair in between, it can eventually dry the scalp)

It’s Cloudy, You Don’t Need Sunblock. Stupid Tip of the Day:

Stupid Tip of the Day: It’s Cloudy, You Don’t Need Sunblock.

One of the biggest mistakes people make with skin care is not using sun protection on hazy days. Even if the sun isn’t shining, be sure to put on an SPF with UVA.

Those sun rays are still beaming through the clouds and have the potential to give a deep burn, without noticing until it’s too late.

One of the worst burns I ever got was on the beach on a cloudy, cold day. So, be careful and wear your SPF. If you’re on a beach or an open area, wearing a hat to help keep those rays at bay, can help. And, wearing sunglasses in the haze, can protect your eyes from those dangers, as well.
