HOW TO BLEACH YOUR SKIN WITHOUT ANY HEALTH HASSLES

How to bleach skin without any Health Hassles

Skin whitening or skin bleaching as it is often known is commonest among Asians, Africans and of course African Americans. White and toned skin is often believed to be better looking and more attractive than dark or black skin. This line of thought is completely erroneous but it keeps gaining momentum with each passing day. India is the worst hit, just look at Bollywood for instance, you can never tell that there are actually lots of black Indians in India from Bollywood, because only the light skinned Indians are paraded in films and movies, there was even a movie about this discrimination but that only strengthened it.

You would never see this beauties in Bollywood.

Skin whitening and bleaching is a multi million dollar industry in Asia and indeed in the world and most people not exactly satisfied with the color or the look of their skin buy skin whitening and bleaching creams over the counter and are often faced with the hazardous effects associated with skin bleaching and whitening with the wrong products.

A lot of times though, most people are just looking to get an even skin tone or color because in reality, even skin tones otherwise known as  the consistency of skin color is considered more attractive than having a certain skin color . This is usually the most common reason for skin whitening and bleaching and most want to bleach their skin evenly to achieve this.

African American Celebrities spend thousands of dollars monthly to get their skin bleached appropriately and they don’t seem to suffer the adverse effects that most skin bleachers suffer.  Adverse effects like hyper pigmentation which often results as bleached or whitened skin begins to age, redness of skin, skin irritation and skin cancer are a few of the many side effects of skin whitening or bleaching.

At least Nicki Minaj never complained of anything.

Skin whitening and bleaching however can be done slowly and surely just like celebrities do it without any harmful effect.
Here is how to bleach your skin  without any health hassles.

1.    Consult a Dermatologist:

Okay ,chances are you are on a budget and can’t consult one, but honestly the best way to whiten your skin is to first consult a dermatologist who would check your skin before recommending appropriate skin lightening and bleaching treatment. They would be able to test your skin to see if your skin can withstand the action of skin whitening creams. All celebrity skin whitening except for the cheap ones begin this way.

2.    Eat the right foods.

Eventually you would look like this

The best way to bleach your skin effectively is to do it both from the outside and the inside, paying much more attention to the insides than the outsides. A well bleached skin has to be bleached first from the insides that is the roots of the skin, than just applying harsh chemicals on the skin surface. There are a host of foods that help to bleach skin naturally. Some of these foods include antioxidants such as glutathione that prevents melanin production. Melanin is responsible for pigmentation of the skin, hair and eye color. With increased stress, hormones, medications and sun damage, melanin production might greatly increase leading to dark splotches and spots. Skin whitening pills falls under this category, they are supposed to help reduce melanin production, the same thing lacking in albinos. 

3.    Buy the right skin whitening creams.

In doing this, you have to be very vigilant about the ingredients of the skin whitening cream in question. Remember it is not about the immediate effects but about a lasting hassle free bleached skin. The words hydroquinone on a skin whitening cream should be a deal breaker for purchasing the cream. No matter the quantity or the doctor or celebrity endorsing the bleaching cream. These ingredient lightens skin fast but increase sensitivity and irritation which would lead to burns from sun rays, dark spots, varicose veins and age spots. It is also one of the leading causes of skin cancer. There are now several variations of these ingredient and care must be taken not to miss them on products.  

When using a lightening or brightening cream, you have to take utmost caution and use from the best whitening creams available. Apply first to the darkest parts of your body, the knees, armpits, elbows and butt only. Do not apply evenly on your skin except your skin has an even tone already. Most creams bleach evenly, so the fairest spots still appears fairer than the rest spot and upon continuous application might lead to over bleaching of the skin which might result in skin damage.

Sex is a beautiful thing. It’s a good form of exercise, a source of pleasure but the world we live in has completely messed it up. The religious bodies think of it as too sacred to be done casually outside the confines of marriage, the secular world seems to employ it as a tool for advertising, hence the word sex sells. Presently,there are several multi billion dollar industries riding on the back of sex. Sex is now like  a little piece of cloth being pulled from different sides of it’s helm by different opposing forces, thereby ruining the seams of the material.

1.    Find a willing Partner

You would be surprised at the number of people who want to have sex but don’t think of the first major thing to do before having sex. Finding a willing partner, note the word willing, It takes at least two to tangle, feeling yourself is not sex, that’s just masturbation. Someone you are attracted to , who is also attracted to you and is willing to have sex with you. It’s not that hard to find. If you can’t find any, then you might want to sign up for membership on the numerous hook up sites and apps available. The only catch here is that for all apps , you should be above 18. Don’t bother lying, because you might be putting your hookup partner in danger of getting arrested for having sex with a minor. Never force someone to have sex with you, it’s called Rape .

2.    Know the age of consent.

Don’t mean to rain on your parade but you should be sure yourself and your partner are within the ages of consent for sex in your region. It is very important that either both of you or all of you are above the age limit or all of you are below it. It is very dangerous for one of you to be below the age of consent because the older person might be arrested if word ever gets out. There are lots of black males in American Prisons because they hooked up with Minors. Once you are 18 in the US for example, you cannot have sex with anyone below 18.  If both of you or all of you are in your lower teens, then you can shag away.

3.    Find a suitable Location.

You can do it anywhere

Before reading an article on “how to have sex’, you must have or be in the process of finding a good location to have sex. Okay, I don’t mean to make it sound like  finding a movie set. It’s just a place where both or all of you can be naked together without looking over your shoulders, or getting arrested for indecent exposure. Your bedroom, your partner's bedroom, the basement, or even the tree house. Somewhere you can have a couple minutes together without the fear of getting caught. Although in some cases, that may even add to the thrill. You might even book a room but again that would not be possible for minors.

4.    Buy some stuff.

The most essential thing to buy is a Condom and not just any, buy the good stuff that wouldn’t break and wouldn't impede pleasure. If you are too shy to go, get a condom at the pharmacy ,then buy online and insist on discreet packaging. The following things really suck in no particular order, 

• unwanted pregnancy, 
• teen pregnancy, 
• teen parents, 
• sexually transmitted disease,
• child support,
• abortion, 
• jail and all these things can happen if you are having sex without a condom.

You might also need to buy lube, to ease penetration, depending on what kind of sex, you are intending to practice.
Intimate wash might come in handy, due to sex horror stories of pungent smells oozing out during sex from partner’s body. Male genital odor wash for males and of a female intimate wash for females.
For females using any kind of wash or gel should be at least 3 days away from the actual D-day.

5.    Keep yourself Clean.

Boost your confidence by keeping yourself very clean before  having sex. You might want to trim pubes and armpit hair, use a mouth freshener, take a decent bath and avoid spicy foods. Funky smells during sex is a complete turn off.

6.    Exercise.

Sex requires some form of muscle exertion. It would be nice, if you have a little strength to go with it. For sex, a lot of it , lies in the lower body, the glutes, the thighs, the knees and calves. Doing a simple thing as taking a walk might be be beneficial for you.

7.    Forget everything you saw in porn.

If you are really reading an article on how to have sex and you haven’t seen porn, then don’t. Porn is not sex , it’s is simply a performance and should not be used as a measure for sex.

THE BEST PROTEIN SHAKES

Protein shakes are a necessity for anyone interested in  Muscle building or simply just exercising. This is mainly because protein is the building block of muscles and global diets are often lacking in the amount of protein needed to keep the body in fat burning mode as against fat storing mode. For fat burning, the percentage of protein has to be the highest in your meal whereas for muscle building, you might want to maintain a balance between your carbs and protein. Your carbs would provide energy for the weight and strength training, while the protein taken before and after workout would help with the muscle building.

Before workouts, protein shake would help to burn up your energy reserves and after workouts, the protein shake would help repair and build the muscle. While setting up your home gym, you should also  set aside some money for protein shakes.

The amount of protein daily requirement for men and women is between 0.5 to 0.8 grams to each pound of body weight.

Protein calculator

 Meaning, say you are 77kg in weight or about 180 pounds, you would be required to take 90 to 144 grams of protein daily. For a regular guy with little or moderate exercise routine, 0.5grams to one pound would be okay, while an intense body weight lifter might want to take up 0.8 grams.

Contrary to popular opinion, 1 gram to one pound of body weight is too much for the body and the body would simply convert the excess protein to fat. A lot of times, you would come across these body builders in the gym with the bouncer kind of look, which makes it impossible to tell if the guy is really pumping iron or just licking butter. A lot of times, these guys workout a lot and then go the route that Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Mackie went in preparing for their roles in Pain and Gain 

The Rock is the only one with actual muscle right here

. They take too much protein and they became bulky as against having proper muscle definition and being ripped. Of course, genetics also has a major role to play in how your muscles are formed and shaped , but back to protein shakes.

To effectively measure the amount of protein you consume per day and ensuring that you don’t overdo it, it is important to have a little food weighing scale. Rounding up grams and pounds in your head while you eat is synonymous to filing your taxes in your head.

Now we know why flo rida looks like this.

The RDA for men and women of 77kg is about 61 grams, so with your workout you are taking a little above the recommended amount. Remember this should make up  at least 35% of your calorie intake with carbs and others taking the rest

Why take protein shakes?

Simple.  Most of our foods, the world over, don’t serve enough proteins. At times, when they do,  it comes from animal sources which in most cases comes with its own share of problems. With animal protein such as beef, you now have to start worrying about the state of the cows killed , if they were organic or not, if they were killed because they got sick or if you are a PETA member , why they were killed at all. With animal proteins, especially red meat you have a higher risk of heart disease or cardiovascular disease, kidney stones and even cancer. Protein shakes then come into the mix.

The best protein shakes are the plant based protein shakes, although most of them are usually left in the back burner for whey and casein protein shakes.

What is the difference between whey and casein and which is better?

Whey and Casein are simply biological brothers, with one taking all the shine. WHEY!. Whey digests quicker and comes in handy immediately after workouts as it can be quickly absorbed by the body and has a biological value of 104, casein digests slowly and is not efficiently used by the body , the fact that it stays in the body longer might also be good for curbing appetite. However both whey and casein promote muscle growth with no remarkable difference between them. Protein shakes that combine whey and casein is preferred. In milk , for instance, 80 % of the protein in it is whey (the liquid portion) while the rest is casein (the curd).

The Best Protein Shakes.

11.  True Vitality Plant Protein Shake: 

      This is not by popular opinion, but this plant protein shake is good. It’s comparatively cheap and actually contains protein extracted from plants with digestive enzymes in tow. Okay no BS! It tastes like sawdust and doesn’t mix well without a blender bottle. For me the chocolate flavor is worse, but this protein shake is by far the healthiest and clean especially if you have issues digesting protein.

1b. Amazing Grass Green SuperFood: 

Okay, this is actually not a protein shake , it’s a blend of fruits and a lot of herbs but it goes well with smoothies, revitalizes, alkalizes , detoxes and helps with good skin. 

2  2.  Optimium Nutrition 100% Whey Gold Standard: 

     This whey protein isn’t as cheap as the others, but is the most recommended by trainers and gym instructors. I personally don’t get the hype though, but it is said to be the best quality of whey protein. It doesn’t taste bad either and mixes instantly. It is however recommended to be taken three times a day. First thing in the morning, pre-workouts and post workouts. There is a truckload of flavors and sizes and every gym junkie would claim to have taken it at one time or the other.

3.   3.   BSN SYNTHA Protein Powder.

If you have a sweet tooth and taste plays a major determinant for putting anything in your buccal cavity, then this protein shake is for you. The peanut butter is one of the sweetest. What you have to know though, is peanut butter is 25% protein and 50% fat, so in addition to your protein a lot of fat is added just to make it taste good for you. It comes in about 9 flavors and several variants and can also be pricey.

4.       4. MUSCLE TECH NITROTECH

Nitrotech is a protein shake that is as good as it sounds, not very soluble but well prepared and remarkable good for muscle growth. Within weeks of taking this, mixed with appropriate diet and exercise, you would see remarkable muscle definition, which is exactly what you wanted in the first place.

5.      .5. MUSCLE PHARM COMBAT POWDER

 

Great tasting protein shake, takes like cookies and cream, it goes a long way in curbing appetite and it is also very easy to blend, with glutamine added to aid muscle recovery. It is one protein shake that give optimum nutrition a run for it’s money. It however seems to live a little after taste.

MALE GENITAL ODOR DUE TO ANTIPERSPIRANTS

MALE GENITAL ODOR DUE TO ANTIPERSPIRANTS.

Antiperspirants, we use them, we seem to need them, and without them, we believe we would smell like rotten wildebeests and in most cases, we are not usually far from the truth. However, in recent times, it has been discovered that antiperspirants may be a major cause of male genital odor or even body odor.

If your penis smells like rotten egg and you are heavy on the direct to skin antiperspirants like rolls ons and gels, then you might want to ease up on the antiperspirants, if male genital odor products don’t work for you.

How do antiperspirants work?

Antiperspirants perform two functions.

1.      1. They reduce body odor, just the same way that deodorants do. This ,they do by reducing or eliminating   bacteria such as Escherichia coli that live on the skin and break down sweat to produce pungent smells. It is important to note that sweat in itself is mostly odourless but only when it comes into contact with the bacteria that lives on the skin does it begin to smell. Antiperspirants like deodorants aim at killing these bacteria.

2.       2.  They prevent sweating. Antiperspirants mix with moisture on the skin to form a gel that acts like a temporary sealant that blocks the pores from releasing sweat to the skin surface of the underarms.

The second function is what is believed to lead to body odor and eventually male genital odor. Sweating is a natural body function, sweating is the body’s natural cooling system that helps to regulate the body temperature when the body is heated up, or stressed.

 The apocrine glands, a type of sweat glands also releases some materials with sweat which also makes the skin an excretory organ since it eliminates waste from the body. When the armpit is completely blocked from releasing sweat, the body finds a way to send that sweat somewhere else such as the genitals producing male genital odor. This phenomenon also happens to people who get botox for their armpits to prevent them from sweating. A lot of such women reported extra unprecedented sweating from their asshole, their butt cracks, their genitals and inner thighs.

if only she told you that her butt crack is drenched in sweat

If male genital odor is an issue for you, it might be important to look into the kinds of antiperspirants you use. If possible, go without them and develop a clean lifestyle.

How to ensure you sweat less?

1.       Work in a temperature regulated environment to limit your body’s need to sweat

2.       Bath regularly to help eliminate the bacteria that might have gathered on your skin, this would prevent your sweat from developing a pungent odor

3  3.    Wear light fabric to help with your body heat regulation.

4 4.   Use antiperspirants natural alternatives

What are antiperspirant natural alternatives?.

Apart from the female and male genital odor causing properties of antiperspirants, some antiperspirants ingredients have been linked to cancer such as aluminum salts, preservatives and parabens contained in most antiperspirants. Here are a few alternatives to these antiperspirants

1. 1.     Using baking soda and corn starch:  This combination would kill the bacteria on the skin and thereby prevent body odor , it would however not prevent sweating that much , but it’s a better alternative

2.     2.   Lemon juice: Simply rubbing lemon juice on your armpit would prevent body odor as the citric acid in lemon juice  would kill odor causing bacteria.

3.      4.  Reduce the consumption of food that cause the body to sweat and cause odor.

4.      5. Use an organic  product:  These products are made from every day organic materials and ingredients that not only spare the user from the consequences of the harsh chemicals sometimes found in unnatural antiperspirants but would also kill odor causing bacteria and help regulate the body’s temperature thereby reducing sweating.
