Hair remover

-

Homemade hair remover usually contains either honey or sugar, ingredients that make it sticky and able to pull the hair out.


This and honey based body wax are great, but keep in mind that you need to prepare the skin before starting. 


Use a body scrub in order to open up the pores and also eliminate the possibility of ingrown hair. 


When you're done, apply body moisturizer to soothe the skin and prevent irritation or redness.

HAIR REMOVER - BODY SUGARING


Ingredients


Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup honey
cornstarch
clean cloth cotton strips
wooden stick or spreader




Preparation


Dust the area to be waxed, with cornstarch.
Combine the first three ingredients in a clean glass bowl, and microwave for two minutes.
Stop and stir your sugar mixture every 20-30 seconds.
Let it cool to a comfortable warmth, and, using a wooden stick, spread a very thin layer onto your clean skin.
Immediately cover the mixture with a strip of cotton fabric.
Briskly stroke the strip several times in the direction of the hair growth, and then, pull the skin taut, and quickly rip away the cotton strip, against the direction of hair growth.
As you proceed, you may need to reheat your sugar mixture in the microwave to keep it warm.
Do not boil it or overheat as you could easily burn your skin.

Peaches Anti-Cancer

Peaches are good for you because they are a source of vitamins A and C and they are a good source of fiber especially with the peal. Peaches are also a good source of potassium and contain some calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and folate. Though low in calories—one cup of sliced peaches has only 60 calories—and composed of 80 percent water, peaches are packed with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoids. The dose of fiber in peaches acts as a gentle laxative, aids digestion, and may also help combat cancer.  Peaches is rich in cancer-fighting vitamin A in the form of beta carotene,  as well as the immune-boosting vitamin C, which also protects against heart disease. Rich in iron and potassium, peaches help ensure proper functioning of cells, the balance of fluid and electrolytes in the body, and nerve signaling.  Lutein and zeaxanthin —two carotenoids found in peaches—help guard against blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration.
