Dark underarms

Sometimes, repeated shaving is known to be a primary cause for darkened underarms. As painful as this may seem, going back to waxing or laser treatments to get rid of underarm hair may help. If your darkened underarms are a result of the accumulation of dead cells, using a whitening scrub for sensitive skin should help with showing you lighter results. For a quick home remedy, you can rub your underarm skin with thinly sliced potatoes. Potato works as a natural bleaching agent and can help get rid of those unwanted dark patches.

Cracked heels

Summer is here and it’s time to whip out those flip-flops. For those of you who happened to develop cracked heels due to dry skin or prolonged hours on your feet, regular foot care can help reverse the problem. Paraffin wax pedicures have shown remarkable results in dealing with cracked heels. Alternatively, a home remedy that is known to help cure this problem is a mixture of Vaseline petroleum jelly and lemon juice. Rub this mixture over your heels nicely, till it gets absorbed in the skin and keep it overnight. Repeating this for a few days in a row can help soften your heels and erase those cracked patches.

Butt acne

Are you afraid to wear a bikini because of acne on your butt? As strange as this may seem, butt acne is actually fairly common. A simple way to deal with this is to use a body wash that has salicylic acid as an ingredient. It has unclogging benefits that can help prevent bumps from appearing. For the existing spots, use an exfoliating scrub and gently slough off the dead skin cells with the help of a loofah. In about ten days time, your skin should be baby soft and ready to flaunt!

Use Olive Oil to Treat Dandruff

• Wet your hair with warm water. Make sure that your scalp can be oiled properly, rather than targeting only the dry follicles of your hair.
• The next step is to warm the olive oil. Warm oil does wonders in treating dandruff. It also helps you relax and improves the blood circulation which in turn promotes hair growth!!Gently massage it onto your scalp.
• Now, cover your head with a towel or a shower cap. This helps the oil saturate your scalp and infuse the follicles of your hair as well. 30 minutes is more than enough for the oil to work its magic on your scalp and hair.
• The next step is to shampoo and rinse thoroughly. You can condition your hair as well, if necessary. But be sure to use a mild conditioner that does not aggravate dandruff.
