Dark Elbows and Underarms

Hi everyone!  This post is dedicated to all  my  followers who had asked for remedies  but i could not answer them due to my unavailability..Sorrry again..


      Dark Elbows

• The most common reason for dark elbows is lack of moisturizing and continuous friction  caused on them.Also the collection of dead skin cells.So the first and important step is to exfoliate the dead skin with a mask made of gram flour and curd.Rub it gently and massage on the area after it slightly dries.Then apply moisturizer.

• Lemon juice is a natural bleach as i keep mentioning so mix it with curd and apply.

• Vinegar with water and hydrogen peroxide will also lighten the elbows.

• Turmeric,cucumber juice and lemon, mix them together and apply .Leave for 20 min and then wash.

• Apple juice with curd is also a great mixture for the purpose.

• Coconut oil mixed with oatmeal and milk will help.After removing cover with a hot towel and then later apply moisturizer.

• Apply castor oil every night  .Massaging with it will help in the improvement of  dull skin .

• Tomato juice applied with rice flour will also be useful.

• Coconut oil with lemon ,leave it for 20 min.Remove it with cold water.

After the packs moisturize the skin as then only it will show results.

BODY ODOR

Body odor is caused by certain infections in kidneys,liver  or intake of heavy medicines or consumption of alcohol,caffeine and smoking.So to keep yourself free from it try earing fibre food,food containing lot of roughage,fresh fruits and avoid consumption of hydrogenated oils,white flour, refined sugar ,red meat and other processed food.Also raw garlic.
Maintaining proper hygiene also helps like taking bath twice a day , wearing clean clothes,not repeating once worn clothes,keeping armpits clean and changing undergarments daily specially in summers and moist weather when bacteria activity is maximum.


Some natural ways to get rid of the body odor is:
