2. Using lemon Juice to Lessen Reduce Acne, Acne Scars and Blackheads

********  Lemon juice is not beneficial for acne on dark brown or black skin. The reason not to use lemon juice on dark skin is that dark skin contains many melanocytes, cells that make pigment. Any darkening of the skin caused by lemon juice will be more severe when the skin is exposed to the sun. Lemon juice compounds are especially active in the melanocytes when they are activated by the UV-A rays of sunlight. Dark skin will not burn, but it will darken even more when exposed to sunlight after lemon juice treatment.*************

How To Grow Your Hair Faster and Healthier

How to make your hair grow faster?

1. Snip of any split ends. 

Split ends are evil and they make your hair stop growing. It is a myth that cutting our hair will make it grow faster, but, by cutting the split ends, your hair will look healthier and retain your length for longer. When cutting your split ends, always use hair shears. Regular paper scissors can fray your ends and can actually cause more split ends down the road.

2. Drink plenty of water 

Drinking water does dot only keep your hair healthy, but also contributes to hair growth with a healthier scalp and healthier hair. 

3. Have a healthy diet. 

Eating protein, vitamins and iron help your hair growth. These include nuts, veggies and eggs. 

5. Avoid tieing your hair too tightly. 

This may cause hair breakage, and hinder your hair growth.  

6. Exercise 

When we exercise, we sweat and this is a good thing. Sweat, toxins and and waste substances are flushed out from skin pores giving us healthy, radiant skin. Similarly, sweat helps unclogs hair follicles, increases blood flow and circulation  in our body which promotes hair growth. Also don't stress. This could result in hair thinning or hair loss. Exercising helps deal with stress and not only keeps your hair healthy, but also making you feel happier with your body. 

7.Massage scalp 

Massaging Scalp is similar to exercise. It increases blood circulation to the hair follicles and builds strength on the hair roots. 

8. Use a good shampoo that's good for YOUR type of hair

Everybody is different. Thick, thin, dry, curly, fine, dyed... Read the labeling!
