TONING FOR LIGHT SKINNED PEOPLE

If you burn before you tan and you have pink or porcelain undertones then you are fair-skinned.

 

This type of skin owes its lack of colour and tendency to burn in the sun to its smaller amount of melanin.

 

Melanocytes are cells that produce melanin and react to the sun by its production. This causes the skin to darken because it tries to protect itself from the harmful effects of the UV in sunlight.

 

Individuals with fair skin should be more vary of the sun, as their skin is less protected and more likely to become damaged.

 WHAT TO DO............

1. Avoid using tanning lotions especially if they affect your skin and cause unnessessary heat
2. moisturise regularly, and get light toning lotions like MAZI TONA, NEUTROGENA etc
3. Watch yourself for like a month......................

Individuals with oily or extremely oily skin types often have problems with enlarged pores. In many cases, skin pores look enlarged because they are clogged with sebum and dead skin cells. If they are ignored they become white heads or blackheads. People who have large skin pores often have tiny while heads covering their entire nose. If these white heads are removed, the pores return to their normal size. However in a few cases, the pores are actually larger, in which case, there is absolutely nothing that can tighten them permanently.
Once your face pack has dried completely, wash it off with cold water. Do not use warm water to wash the face pack off as this will dissolve the sebum trapped within the pack and allow it to spread over your skin once more. Once the pack is completely washed off, add a few drops of lemon/lime to a bowl of very warm water and rinse your face well. The warm water will open up your pores and allow the lemon/lime juice to dissolve any remaining sebum. Clean and cut a small piece of carrot, cucumber and onion. Grate the pieces and apply it to your face. The carrot and cucumber have natural astringent qualities and the grated onion will help to reduce scars. Keep the mixture on for at least 20 minutes and then wash it off with cold water. If you have extremely oily skin, you can add a few drops of lemon/lime juice to this last rinse to prevent excess oiliness. Do this at least once a week for a deep cleansing as this will prevent the build up of sebum. Use the face scrub every alternate day to keep your skin oil free.

LIPS

 Soft lips are not women’s monopoly. Most of men feel embraced with crashes on lips. To remove any dead skin of lips, apply a liquid lip balm then exfoliate it by running a toothbrush over them.

MBGN 2012 Isabella Agbor Ayuk set to launch the Vanessa Manyor Memorial Foundation in Abuja

Though her crowning and reign as the 2012 Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria has been controversial, Isabella Ayuk is intent on using her position positively.

All is now set for the official launch of the Vanessa Manyor Memorial Foundation (VMMF) in Abuja . The event billed to take place on Saturday is put together by the current Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, Isabella Agbor Ayuk.

VMMF was founded by Isabella in memory of her sister who died of typhoid fever and she therefore intends to use it to campaign against typhoid fever.

Already in her capacity as MBGN, Ayuk has undertaken projects that include scholarships to students, donation of medical equipment to hospitals, distribution of free typhoid vaccines to refugee camps, renovation of some primary schools and houses belonging to widows.

Speaking about VMMF, she said, “My sister died of typhoid fever and VMMF has been campaigning and will continue to campaign against it. VMMF will also continue to empower widows as my mother is a widow and widows are always in need of widow’s mite…VMMF is all about caring for, supporting and protecting the lives of citizens living in the rural communities of Nigeria against the spread of typhoid fever, malaria, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, opportunistic infections and improvement of rural health through behavioural change communication strategies, voluntary confidential counselling and testing (VCCT) as well as condom and drugs distribution.”

According to Isabella’s PR representatives, the launch will be attended by top government officials, members of the diplomatic corps, and the Honourable Minister of Woman Affairs is the Chairman of the occasion.

FACE BUFF & CLEANSING

 Aloe and Cucumber. I bet you have each of these lying around somewhere. You know the Aloe Vera gel you buy for sunburns? Use that, unless you have the real stuff at your grocery store. If you do, just open the plant near its base and scrape out the gel. Be gentle: you don't want any of the yellow stuff from the stalk, just the gel. Aloe is moisturizing and nutritious for skin...

, while cucumber soothes inflammation.
DIRECTIONS: Take about 2 TBS of Aloe and half of a washed, peeled, seeded cucumber. Throw it all in a blender or food processor until it makes a nice, smooth paste. Spread it over your face. It will feel quite chilly at first: this is a good sign! Let it dry for 20 to 30 minutes. Wash off with lukewarm or cool water and pat your face dry with a towel.
