Dangerous Skin Problems Caused By Hydroquinone

HYDROQUINONE , we will be looking at the effect of hydroquinone on your skin. Hydroquinone was originally invented to treat skin pigmentation and stubborn spots. Medically, anything you put on your skin is a drug.

If you want a healthy skin and you want to avoid skin problems and health complications caused by all these chemical based skin care products; don’t apply anything that you cannot eat on your skin. Hydroquinone is a popular ingredient used in making many skin lightening creams and products because it is a lightening agent. Hydroquinone was recalled from the in the late 80’s when it was discovered it is harmful to the skin. It was later confirmed safe by the FDA only when used in 2% concentrations.

5 Reasons Why Every Girl Needs A No Make Up Day

Every girl needs a no makeup day. Your Face Needs To Rest: The face just like the rest of your body needs to rest, needs to breathe, needs to take a break from the hustle. The layers and layers of powders and substances that your face has to accommodate everyday is super crazy and you need to give it a rest day. Also, so you don’t break out. Proper Care : Sometimes we have the makeup to hide all the blemishes, pimples and acne (yes we do!) and we forget to take a step back and make sure our face is actually in order. Sometimes it is done as on oversight and then you just don’t feel the need at the end of the day. Confidence Booster : You know how some ladies don’t feel good when they leave the houses without their purses or they forget something really important at home? That has become the same for lipsticks, eyeliners, mascaras and foundation. Ladies don’t feel complete without it, it’s like their day is just going to go plain bad with out Ruby Woo.

Lulu Jemimah,Oxford University Student Marries Herself

Love 'em, hate 'em, whatever - you can always rely on your family for one thing or another. For many of us, they can be supportive, loving and always good for a chat. Still, even the best of our families can also prove themselves to be a massive pain in the arse - and once you reach a certain age, at least one member is always guaranteed to ask you when you're getting married. This may not be a priority for most people - it certainly wasn't for Lulu Jemimah, who's been busy studying hard for her master's degree at Oxford University. The 32-year-old student got so sick of this ever-recurring question that she came up with a perfectly sensible answer - she would get married to herself. Yes, you read correctly, she married herself. Well I suppose they do say 'there's someone for everyone', and Lulu knew exactly where to find her perfect match. She organised the whole mock wedding, sending out invites, hiring a dress, walking down the aisle and even

Why Is Urine Yellowish In Colour?

Urination is an everyday call of nature. Most people excrete urine yellowish or straw in colour while others have it as clear as drinking water.  The question is why is the urine yellowish in colour? Scientifically , urine is composed of a pigment known as urochrome or urobilin which appears to be yellow, straw or amber.  The color appearance of urine depends on the concentration of this pigment.  The human body functions best when it is properly hydrated.  When one takes a lot or enough amount of water, the pigment gets diluted and the urine excreted appears clear or less yellowish. It should also be noted that it is not only this pigment that alters the color of urine but also the chemical composition of the food one eats.  Certain changes in the colour of urine may also mark underlying medical conditions.  So what is the normal colour of urine? Everybody has their own normal colour of urine although, it should fall on the yellow spectrum depending

See Photo Of 50-Year Old Man Who Looks Like A 5-Year-Old

A 50-year-old man whose height is that of a healthy five-year-old is currently the toast of villagers and visitors in their tiny Indian village. As a toddler, there was nothing to distinguish Basori Lal from his peers, and it was only around age five that his family started to notice that he had stopped growing. However, because they were poor, his family could not seek medical attention to at least know what was wrong with him, and to also see if the situation could be treated. Basori was never given a medical diagnosis, and to this day, his relatives have no idea what caused him to be so short.His 55-year-old elder brother, Gopi Lal, said: “Nobody was able to take him to a doctor. We are poor people, I am a labourer. Where would I take him?” As Basori grew older, he encountered some tough times and experienced some bullying in his village, but thankfully, those days are past. He said: “People used to bully me a lot. They used to call me an alien. But that time is gone now. I am

Niger Delta States Can Have 100% Of Oil Revenues, But… — Atiku

Presidential candidate of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Atiku Abubakar, has said he was willing to let Nigeria’s oil-producing states have absolute control of crude oil revenues from their domains. He, however, noted that it would not be feasible to immediately implement such policies at this stage of nation’s development. Abubakar told The Africa Report that federating units once had considerable control of their resources, unlike the current federal laws that only allow 13 percent derivation for states in the Niger Delta, where crude oil is extracted. Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, Although Atiku acknowledged that the appropriate sharing formula might be difficult to say, as it would depend on negotiations, he recommended limited role for the Federal Govern-ment in appropriating crude revenues. “States can get more because in the First Republic, the regions had 50/50,” Abubakar told The Africa Report in an interview, Wednesday.
