1. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is effective in the treatment of many skin problems. Its healing and soothing properties can be used to get rid of stretch marks. There are a couple of ways to apply it.

Aloe Vera Home Remedy to Get Rid of Stretch Marks

• You can directly rub aloe vera gel on the affected skin area, leave it on for 15 minutes and then rinse the skin with lukewarm water.
• Another option is to make a mixture with one-fourth cup of aloe vera gel, oil from 10 vitamin E capsules and oil from five vitamin A capsules. Rub this mixture onto the skin until fully absorbed. Repeat this process daily.

2. Castor Oil

Castor oil, which is used in the treatment of a number of skin problems such as wrinkles, age spots, moles, dark spots, fine lines and pimples, can also be used to get rid of stretch marks.

Apply Castor Oil to Remove Stretch Marks

1. Apply some castor oil to the stretch marks and gently massage the area in circular motions for 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Wrap the area with a thin, cotton cloth. Using a hot water bottle or a heating pad, apply some heat to the affected area for at least a half an hour.
3. Repeat this process daily for a minimum of one month to notice positive results.

3. Egg Whites

Eggs are a rich source of protein. For stretch marks, you want to use only the egg whites, which contain amino acids and proteins.

1. Whip the whites of two eggs gently with a fork. Clean the affected skin area with water and then apply a thick layer of egg whites with a makeup brush.
2. Allow the egg whites to dry completely and then rinse the area with cold water.
3. Finally apply some olive oil on the skin to keep it moisturized.
4. Repeat the process daily for at least two weeks and watch for positive results.

Another simple way to lessen stretch marks is to use lemon juice. Lemon juice is naturally acidic which helps heal and reduce stretch marks, acne, and other scars.

• Rub fresh lemon juice gently onto the stretch marks using circular motions. Allow the lemon juice to soak into your skin for at least 10 minutes before rinsing it off with warm water.
• Another option is to mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and lemon juice and apply the mixture on the stretch marks.

1. Mix a tablespoon of raw sugar with some almond oil and a few drops of lemon juice. Mix it well and apply it on the stretch marks and other skin areas.

3. Do this for a month or so and watch your stretch marks become lighter.

6. Potato Juice

Potato juice contains vitamins and minerals that foster growth and restoration of skin cells.

1. Cut a medium-sized potato into thick slices.
2. Take one of the potato pieces and rub it gently on the stretch marks for a few minutes. Make sure the starch from the potato covers the affected area.
3. Allow the potato juice to dry for some time and then wash it off with lukewarm water.

Stretch Marks..Causes And Prevention

Stretch marks, also known as striae, are scars that appear on various parts of your skin, primarily around the stomach, thighs, hips, breasts, upper arms, lower back and even around your calves. They start out red and purple in appearance and later fade to a slightly off-colored hue that is similar to your skin tone, but still noticeable upon closer inspection. Stretch marks are often the product of stretching or tearing of the dermis, which is one of the layers of skin on a person's body. For many people, stretch marks can be embarrassing and unsightly, but most cases can be avoided. 

So what causes this and how can we prevent it?

1. Rapid Weight Gain and Obesity

One of the most common causes of stretch marks for most people is rapid weight gain or obesity. Anywhere in a person's body where fat is stored is most likely to be affected by stretch marks. The size and the amount of stretch marks that appear depend on the extent of a person's weight gain. The more weight that is gained in a short time frame, the more severe the stretch marks will appear.

2. Growth Spurts

Some teenagers may be alarmed to find stretch marks around their body, especially when they aren't overweight or haven't suffered from rapid weight gain at any point in their lives. The common explanation for the appearance of these stretch marks is from rapid growth spurts, especially during puberty. Just like rapid weight gain and obesity, any time the body grows or expands faster than the elasticity of the skin can handle, stretch marks can appear.

3. Weight Lifting

Weight lifting and those who start putting on more muscle mass at a rapid pace, like athletes, can expect to see stretch marks on their body, even though they are in good shape. This is why stretch marks cannot be used to identify a weight problem or obesity, since they can occur on people in top physical condition; the muscles under the skin are just growing too fast for the skin to handle. Those who are affected by stretch marks due to muscle building tend to see scarring primarily around the arms and shoulders.

4. Pregnancy

Pregnancy is most likely the predominant cause of stretch marks in most women. Because a woman's stomach is expanding at such a rapid pace during pregnancy, it is highly likely that she will develop stretch marks around her belly. Multiple pregnancies can lead to the formation of new stretch marks after each pregnancy.

5. Hormones

Hormonal imbalances have been labelled as one of the common causes of stretch marks. Since hormonal changes occur during puberty, pregnancy, obesity and even weight lifting, it's hard to pinpoint which particular factor is to blame for the appearance of stretch marks. The hormonal imbalance that occurs during these times can cause collagen and elastin fibres to tear over stretched skin, creating the appearance of stretch marks.

Prevention/Treatment

Unfortunately, stretch marks have a tendency to remain on a person's body, even after pregnancy or losing weight. Another major issue with stretch marks is that most treatment methods available are ineffective, and the ones that actually work, typically cost more. The best thing a person can do to deal with stretch marks is to prevent them as much as possible:

• Apply topical ointments rich in vitamin E in areas where one might expect stretch marks to form, like around the belly before pregnancy.
• Keep yourself hydrated by drinking plenty of water to help with inner-moisture.
• Avoid too much caffeine and alcohol, which are diuretics that suck out the moisture from your body.
• Eat fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins that can help keep the skin strong and healthy.
• Use moisturisers to help with skin elasticity.
• Ingest more nutrients like zinc that can help with your skin's elasticity.

5 Simple Tips To Treat Stretch Marks In Teenagers

1. Exercise Regularly:

Regular stretching and exercising is one of the best ways of treating stretch marks in your teenager.

• It prevents gaining weight and fat and hence controls stretch marks from developing further.
• When your teenager engages in regular exercising, it helps tone his body and treats stretch marks automatically

2. Hydrate Properly:

The more water your teenager drinks, the more his skin will remain hydrated.

• A well-hydrated skin makes stretch marks more supple and soft and it can fix stretch marks in much more easier way.
• Your teenager must drink 8-12 glasses of water every day to keep his skin well-hydrated.

3. Healthy Food Choices:

When your teenager eats healthy foods which are high in Vitamin A and C, he stands a better chance of treating stretch marks.

• Foods rich in Vitamin A and C help make more collagen and elastin in body.
• These are extremely important for healing stretch marks. So try and include more oranges, grapefruits, milk, peaches and other fruits and vegetables that produce collagen and elastin in the body.

4. Over-The-Counter Creams:

If you find stretch marks in your teenager are taking long to heal, you may also use certain Over-The-Counter stretch marks cream available in the market.

• These have collagen and elastin and help tighten the skin a lot.
• Most of these are dermatologically tested and are safe to use.
• You must consult your family physician before buying or using any of these creams.

5. Vitamin E-Rich Massage Oil:

Regular massaging the area, with good Vitamin E-rich body oil, will help your teenager get rid of stretch marks.

• You must act patiently when trying this method though.
• Gently massage the affected area everyday with the oil and slowly you will see results.
• You can also use a good moisturizer. It basically makes your skin more elastic so when the skin grows, it controls stretch marks lot better and prevents it too.

4 Types of Women You Should Walk Away From..By Jemimah Abimbola

Some women are attracted to “bad boys,” and at times men are attracted to the women who can be bad for them, as well.  As serious a commitment as marriage is, some people want to ignore the red flags and stay blinded by lust. You need to marry the best match for you. This should be a woman who will always “have your back” and that you can count on in good times and in bad.

Men, with that in mind, here are the four kinds of women that you should definitely not marry: 

The damsel in distress

You love feeling like a superhero. Rescuing that troubled woman is somehow so appealing. You must ask yourself, why is she always having problems?  Why is there always something bad happening to her? She has a horrible ex-husband, a low paying job, and her car broke down for the fifth time? You feel pity for her, and this tugs at your heartstrings. She is incapable of pulling herself up by her bootstraps. Just remember, if you rescue a damsel in distress, you end up with nothing more than a distressed damsel. Ask yourself what will happen if you needed to count on her.  You should not have to rescue a person time and again. The only thing you should rescue is a pet!

The psycho

These women are often beautiful. Sometimes supermodel gorgeous and you are pinching yourself that she is dating you! You are easily blinded by her beauty, though.  She has anger outbursts, unpredictable moods, one minute wants a hug and the next is biting your head off. She may have an actual personality disorder (borderline? narcissistic?) and zero insight into her behaviour.  She may even say she has “bad PMS,” but do not buy that excuse! You must dump Ms Crazy and change your number.  Better yet, go into the witness protection program for a few months, as you are likely to be stalked.  

The control freak

She’s domineering and bossy. She makes all the decisions and beats you down when you try to assert yourself. She decides where you go on dates and who you go with. She may be isolating you from your regular friends. You are starting to become her lap dog. You may even begin to wonder if it matters that you exist in the relationship, as you have no voice. Your friends are definitely noticing. They are losing respect for you and see you as spineless.  It is time to take back your self-respect and leave this woman!

The needy one

She is a bottomless well of needs. Clingy, clingy, clingy. You must constantly reassure her of your love, and that everything in the relationship is okay. She wanted to get married from date three and believes you are her “soulmate.”  If you call and don’t answer or respond to texts instantly, she is in a panic. Forget about any “boy’s night out.” She will sulk and cry. Your phone will be blowing up all evening. There is no way for you ever to make this person feel secure and you may die to try to.    

If you are dating any of these types of women, it is crucial that you consider the impact this person is having on your life. These types can be disastrous for your well-being and happiness. Would you want this woman raising your children?  Chances are, your gut is telling you to run, but you are getting something out of the relationship that makes this difficult. You must move on from women like this and find a healthy, balanced partnership for life.

How To Prevent and Treat Pimples After Shaving..Works perfectly.

How To Prevent and Treat Pimples After Shaving..Works perfectly.

...I came across this article and felt like sharing it.

Pimples after shaving can be a really annoying side effect. Areas with thicker hair like the bikini zone, chest, and on a man’s face are especially prone even if you don’t normally have a problem with blemishes.

But trading in a hairless skin for a breakout doesn’t have to be part of the deal. If you don't have acne, a couple steps should help you achieve smoother and clearer skin.

 Lightly exfoliate first

Getting rid of dead skin cells not only helps get a closer shave but cleans skin. There’s less chance of transferring bacteria causing pimples to pop up. Depending on where you're removing hair, use a gentle face or body scrub, or an agate washcloth and your favourite body wash pre-shave.

If you shave your face or another area daily, exfoliating every time is likely overdoing it and will probably do more harm than good. If your skin is burning, feeling tight, dry, or extra sensitive, cut back.

Use a pre-shave oil

I know what you might be thinking, ‘Why would I want to put on any oil, doesn’t that cause breakouts?’ In short, artificial ones like silicon and mineral can clog pores and encourage blemishes. Natural oils that are too heavy for a skin type might as well, but the right kinds soften skin and certain ones have properties to actually fight bacteria, a pre-cursor to pimples.

A good pre-shave oil (a couple drops underneath shave gel or cream) assists in protecting the skin so that the razor glides, instead of pulls- leading to less irritation, redness and ingrown hair. Since shaving depletes moisture from the skin, this also replenishes some of what has been lost.

Keep razor squeaky clean

When the blade hits the skin, it exfoliates, removing dead skin cells. And where do you think many of those dead skin cells end up? Let’s face it, just quickly rinsing the blade under some water doesn’t remove all traces of sloughed off skin, not to mention clinging product. This not only dulls the blade way before its time, any bacteria introduced can promote pimples on the freshly shaved skin.

While shaving, rinse your blade regularly to remove hair and product so you get a close shave and leave the least amount of invaders. After shaving, rinse the blade on all sides thoroughly. Shake off the water. Clean with an alcohol wipe. Don’t store it in the shower if you want it to last longer. 

Use aftershave

We’re not talking about a cheap alcohol splash. The alcohol may provide some help battling breakouts fighting bacteria but can cause massive dryness, flakiness and itching. A better option is an aftershave that will also moisturize, soothe and have less harsh ingredients to keep pimples at bay.

Witch hazel is a natural astringent that can be applied after shaving to help reduce any irritation and fight bacteria. Many witch hazels contain some alcohol which may be drying. Fortunately, there are alcohol-free brands that you can try.

Stay away from tight

A very snug collar around the neck or extremely fitted pants or underwear can constrict the skin, not giving it enough room to 'breathe' so to speak. This can trap oil in the hair follicle. Can you guess what might happen next?

5 Reasons You Should Stay away From Stalking Your Ex On Social Media.

Stalking on social media seems to be the new trend for millennial everywhere. Post-breakup, there is nothing they love more than hopping in their group texts and sharing screenshots of what their ex is up to now.

In the age of social media, they might turn into internet-addicted zombies, who keep their ex's pages constantly refreshed for weeks, months, maybe years after the relationship is over; who spend hours sifting through photos from now back to 2003. Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat…they all make it so easy for anyone to become a private investigator nowadays. So after a breakup, you may just find yourself sitting in class with the urge to search your ex’s name and see how quickly he/she is moving on. Walking down the memory lane and lurking on your ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend’s social media might prove to be harmful to you.

Here are five reasons why you should put down the magnifying glass and stop being a detective.

1. You’ll never move on

Honestly, you’re never going to be truly able to move on until you stop lusting over what isn’t yours. You may say you hate him out loud, but when you can’t stop thinking about someone to the point you need to obsess over their life, you love them. And the reality is you can’t change someone else’s feelings. They’re not yours to change. It’s time to let go for your own sanity. Stop using your energy on something that is not meant to be.

2. It might lead to an affair that ends badly (again)

Before you put on your detective hat and start searching for your ex on Facebook, pause and ask yourself about your motives. Are you just going to satisfy your curiosity and leave it there or are you hoping to see that he is still single so you can reach out to him/her? Normally when you suddenly get the urge to look up an ex-lover on social media, it could be because you’re lonely, unhappy with your life or just plain bored. If that’s the case, it is best to stop yourself.

Of course, it is possible to reconnect with an ex-lover and have a healthy and successful relationship. However, if you and your ex had an on-again, off again relationship and the break-up was messy, trying to reconnect with him will only result in more heartache. If it didn’t work out in the past despite several attempts, it wouldn’t work out now. 

3. Your brain could trick you into thinking you’re still in love with the ex

After seeing all the pictures your ex has posted on Facebook and Instagram, you might find you are still s3xually attracted to him/her. Maybe your ex finally managed to lose weight and has a better haircut and dressing sense. Whatever it is, you could end up believing that your former relationship was better than your current one.

When you see how attractive and happy your ex, looks, your brain can trick you into thinking you’re still in love with him. You will only remember all the good times you both had shared and you could start looking at your old flame through rose tinted glasses. This could happen to those who look up their first love on social media.

4. You will only end up comparing your life to your ex’s

If your ex has a girlfriend or ended up getting married, you will obsessively compare yourself to his partner. Doing this is not going to make you feel any better and clicking on his profile will only lead to a downward spiral. Feelings of jealousy are also going to creep in even if it has been long time since the break-up took place.

5. Embarrassment  

OK, if you took none of that to heart, think about this: How would you feel if you were stalking your ex and he/she finds out? That is just embarrassing. Honestly, think about it. It’s embarrassing. You are peeking into someone else’s life. Just take a minute, and relieve yourself from all of this, and delete, unfollow and unsubscribe from them! It will be better for everything in your life! You are holding on for a reason and spending your efforts stalking his life will never get you to the solution. Nothing in this life is permanent, allow yourself to move on and you will see what I mean.

A sad incident just happened at the University of Maiduguri in Borno State, after a female student who just gave birth to a baby girl, killed the baby and was trying to force the baby through the toilet when she was caught.

The incident which took place at Murtala Female Hostel on the 24th of May, was shared by a Facebook user by name Enyigwe Supreme Peter, who wrote:

The picture below is a true life story of what just happened at Murtala female Hostel at the University of Maiduguri today.

The new born baby been forced down the toilet

As a lady gave birth to a female child..killed the child by herself and was coercing the child into the female hostel toilet..My question is. If this lady was treated in this manner will she be alive today?? Who will marry such a heartless woman as a wife?”.

Apparently, some public opinions suggested that the lady should not be quickly judged for condemnation until the mystery surrounding her evil act is uncovered. Some also believed that the lady in question might have gone through a rough psychological experience as no normal lady will want to carry out such evil act on her normal senses.

Goat Born With One Eye Worshipped By Villagers In India | Photos

Some villagers believe the goat, that was born in Assam in India, is sacred and have begun to worship it after it was born a week ago. Vets predicted that the goat, which also only has one ear, would die within a few days but it has defied the odds so far.

People have been visiting the village to see the kid which suffers from a condition seen in other animals including horses, pigs, cows and cats. The condition which causes the defect is called cyclopia and occurs when the two hemispheres of the brain do not separate.

This leads to the formation of a single central cavity with one eye, or sometimes partially fused or separate eyeballs. The eyelashes and eyelids are absent, as is any true nose.

The goat’s owner, Mukhuri Das said: ‘I was shocked. It’s like a miracle and people have been coming to our place to see this baby goat.’‘It’s my responsibility to take care of the baby goat. I have been feeding him like a normal goat.’

‘It might be something from God that the baby goat was born in our house.’Mukhuri also believes that the birth of this kid will bring luck to his home.He said: ‘So many people are coming to our place to see this baby goat. We are happy that it’s making us famous.’

Touching story..See what this Abia state politician did to his old time carpenter friend.

Governor Ikpeazu's aide surprises kind carpenter who helped him in university 20 years ago Read more below. 

Onyebuchi Ememanka, special adviser on public communications to Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu the executive governor of Abia state, has shared a touching story of how he went back in search of a carpenter who helped him while he was a student ABSU. The man who is identified as Onyebuchi Ememanka wrote about the carpenter who was so kind to him while in school. 

He said: "Today, I decided to put a big smile on someone’s face. When the ABSU event was over and on my way back, I did a stop over at the place where I used to live as a student on Agiriga Street Okigwe. "My mission was simple – to pay a surprise visit to my old neighbors, who are mostly local carpenters and petty traders. "I moved into that area sometime in 1998 and lived there till 2001 when I graduated. My brother Chiemezie Nwakanma was living there then and helped me secure the room. We were next door neighbors. Iyke Aaron and Chizuru Kanu later joined us there. "There is this particular carpenter who was so kind to me then. He would do my carpentry works free of charge and will lend me money whenever I was broke. I didn’t pay back most of those monies. The Mbano man was just nice to me and treated me like his own son. "The man has a penchant for speaking high sounding grammar and we named him the Professor of Carpentology, a title he cherishes so much… Heheheheheheheh.

"17 years after, I stormed the place today and it was a big party. I ensured that there were drinks of different kinds and food to go round. All the carpenters stopped work to welcome their old neighbor. The women were not left out. "I told them stories of how that carpenter assisted me greatly and without seeking any pay back from me. I thanked all of them for the kindness and love they showed me then. They were all amazed that I could still remember all of that almost 20 years after. "The carpenter had a set of male triplets while I lived there. They are all grown now and one them works with him in his shop. He said the boy is brilliant but he has no money to train him in school. He lost his wife a few years ago.

"There and then, I announced that I will send him to the university and bear the cost of his training. The man broke down in tears. I told him that his son should get a better life than he had. I am fully committed to keeping that promise. I shall help secure admission for him and see him through school. Who knows? He may be the channel through which God will liberate the family from the vicious cycle of poverty and deprivation.

"It was a great day today as we drank and relived old times. I ensured that each of them got some small cash in their pockets. 

"Before I took my leave, they all asked me to kneel down while they said some prayers that touched my soul. I felt a deep sense of fulfilment today. Yes," he wrote.
