Here I show you how to properly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize your skin while never leaving the house without at least 30 SPF sunscreen.</span></ul>

<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
I’ve dubbed this process “The Basic 4-Step Skincare Regimen,” which I outline in this article. I also include organic skincare tips for the growing number of you who are concerned with putting only natural, organic products on your skin.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
How you care for your skin is utterly dependent on the type of skin you have: oily, normal/combination, dry, sensitive or sun- damaged.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
The Basic 4-Step Skincare Regimen Step 1: Cleansing</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Simple is key here. You need to find a good cleanser that your skin responds well to, and stick with it.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Here are some tried-and-true cleansing tips:</div>
<ul style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Be careful not to cleanse too often or you risk over-cleansing skin, see signs you are over cleansing your skin. You really only need to wash your face at night to remove makeup and sunscreen, which can clog pores.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">If you have dry skin, consider cold cream like Pond’s, which the French use or make your own organic cold cream using this simple cold cream recipe. Simply apply cream, then wipe off, no water needed (if you have hard water, it can be especially harsh on skin).</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">To cleanse skin, most women prefer the water method: Use warm water to loosen dirt and clogged pores. Use a dime-sized bit of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Skin purists believe tap water is bad for your skin because it contains harsh minerals and additives like flouride and chlorine.</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Make sure to remove eye makeup with a proper makeup remover. The area around the eye is delicate so don’t pull or rub too hard. You can also use olive oil as a natural eye makeup remover.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
In the morning, a splash of lukewarm water is all you need (I find it’s great for removing excess oils from your nightly moisturizing). Never wash your face with hot or cold water (both can cause broken capillaries).</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 2: Exfoliate</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Exfoliation is the step most people skip in their weekly skincare routine. But trust me, if you start properly exfoliating your skin, you will notice an almost immediate difference. According to Berg, one of the reasons men’s skin looks more youthful than women’s is because men tend to exfoliate daily when they shave.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
There are several exfoliating options that I use weekly. Here are my favorites:</div>
<ul style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">A facial scrub. You can buy a great scrub or make your own. I prefer sugar scrubs to salt ones, but it’s just a matter of preference.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">A washcloth. Put a dab of cleanser and a sprinkle of white refined sugar on a damp washcloth and massage skin in a circular motion. After a quick rinse, any sign of dead skin is erased. If you have dry skin, try extra virgin coconut oil.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Microdermabrasion. You can buy microdermabrasion kits. I have and found quite a few I like. See my list of the best facial scrubs and microdermabrasion kits.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Chemical peels. In the hour it takes to get a chemical peel, you can take a year from your face. Can’t afford the price tag for a monthly peel? Try some over-the-counter peels that work over the course of a month.</li>
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Retinoids. Retinoids (such as Retin-A or the more moisturizing Renova) also work by removing the top layer of dead skin cells while also generating collagen in the skin. “Collagen is the skin’s structural fiber,” dermatologist Dennis Gross said in <em style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">O Magazine</em>. “As we get older, it breaks down, creating lines and large pores.” Skincare experts disagree on all sorts of things, but most of them consider retinoids to be a miracle skin saver. I’m addicted to Retin-A, which I pick up in Mexico on my yearly jaunts.</li>
</ul>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Should you use a toner? </strong>Some people swear by toners, but many beauty experts do not (I once read a skincare expert claim, “toners are only for copy machines”). Toners are meant to remove all remaining traces of oil, makeup and dirt, but a good cleanser should do this. I firmly believe it’s up to you. If you like the way your skin feels with a toner. Buy it. Use it. Enjoy it.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 3: Moisturize</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
While I know of at least one famous beauty editor who swore skin doesn’t need moisturizer, basically everyone else I’ve read disagrees and is an adamant believer in it. A basic rule of beauty is that if you have dry skin, you should invest in a basic moisturizer.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So how much should you moisturize? Your skin will tell you. When your skin is tight, it’s crying out for moisture. Be careful not to over-moisturize — this can clog pores.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
<strong style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Are eye creams necessary?</strong> Well maybe. Some beauty experts strongly recommend eye creams. Why? The skin around the eye contains no fatty tissue and is therefore very thin and susceptible to wrinkles. Special eye creams are formulated to “thicken” this area. Yet other experts (including the beauty editors of Allure in their new book) claim your daily lotion works around the eyes just as well.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Step 4: Apply Sunscreen</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The #1 cause of wrinkles is sun damage, so it’s important to use a sunscreen of at least 30 SPF from your early years on even in winter and on cloudy days. A great trick is to purchase two moisturizers: One for night and one for day that includes UV protection. Don’t use moisturizers with sunscreen at night, the ingredients are not meant to be used 27/7 and can aggravate skin. When choosing a sunscreen, make sure it contains Mexoryl (found in my favorite sunscreen La-Roche Posay) or Helioplex, found in Neutrogena products.</div>

Some people go to great lengths to avoid looking in the mirror when wrinkles start to multiply as they age. <strong style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Wrinkles are caused by thin, sagging skin.</strong> They particularly appear on the face, neck, backs of hands, and tops of forearms.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">

Wrinkles occur as part of the natural aging process, when the collagen and elastin in the connective tissue of the skin become weak and break down due to changes in fibroblasts that produce collagen and elastin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Premature or excess wrinkles can also be caused by factors like too much exposure to sunlight or harsh environments, smoking, use of certain drugs, excessive stress, sudden weight loss, loss of vitamin E, and genetic predisposition.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">

<br /></div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
1. Olive Oil</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Olive oil is a great massage oil for your skin. It is a good source of antioxidants, like vitamins A and E, which fight skin-damaging free radicals.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Regularly massaging olive oil onto the affected skin area will moisturize, repair and even regenerate skin cells. As the oil penetrates deep into the skin, it provides long-lasting protection and keeps it moisturized.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Another option is to mix a few drops of honey with a few drops of olive oil and glycerin. Massage the mixture into your skin twice daily. This will eliminate dead cells and help tighten sagged skin.</li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
You can also massage your skin with coconut oil, emu oil, almond oil or vitamin E oil to prevent and reduce wrinkles.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
2. Fenugreek</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Fenugreek leaves, seeds and even oil work as an antidote for different skin problems, including wrinkles. The leaves are rich in vitamins and minerals that are easily absorbed by the body and help treat wrinkles and fine lines when this remedy is used regularly.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Grind a handful of fresh fenugreek leaves to make a thick paste. Apply the paste on your face and leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash it off with lukewarm water.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">You can also wash your face with water boiled with fenugreek seeds or apply fenugreek oil on your wrinkles and fine lines.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
3. Aloe Vera</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
The aloe vera plant contains malic acid that helps reduce wrinkles by improving the elasticity of your skin.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Simply cut an aloe vera leaf from the plant and extract its gel. Apply the fresh gel onto your skin and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Another option is to mix one teaspoon of aloe vera gel with the contents of a vitamin E capsule. Apply the mixture to areas where wrinkles are forming. Leave it on half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
4. Ginger</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Ginger works as an excellent anti-wrinkle remedy due to its high antioxidant content. Moreover, it helps inhibit the breakdown of elastin, one of the main causes of wrinkles and fine lines.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Mix a pinch of grated ginger with a tablespoon of honey. Eat this mixture every morning.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">You can also drink ginger tea twice daily.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
5. Bananas</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that combat the causes of wrinkles and fine lines. Using this remedy twice per week will rejuvenate your skin and treat wrinkles in a natural manner.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Mash two ripe bananas into a thick paste. Apply the paste on the wrinkled areas. Leave it on for at least a half an hour and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Follow it with some skin moisturizer.</li>
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Alternatively, you can use a mixture of one mashed banana and avocado, along with a little honey. Slather it on your skin, lave it on for 20 minutes and then wash it off.</li>
</ul>
<h2 style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; line-height: 24px; margin: 30px 0px 10px; max-width: 100%; padding: 7px 0px 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
6. Almonds</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
Almonds are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin E, iron, zinc, calcium, folic acid, and oleic acid, which combined can delay the aging process and treat wrinkles.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px 0px 0px 40px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">
<li style="margin: 0px; max-width: 100%; padding: 0px; position: relative; word-wrap: break-word;">Soak some almonds in raw milk overnight.

This super simple recipe contains all the ingredients you need to give your immune system a quick boost! And a single dose is all you need to recover from the onset of a cold.  It contains garlic, cayenne pepper, lemon and honey. You probably expected more but this is all you need to ward of viruses and boost your immune system.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So why does it work?  As we all know, garlic is a hundred times stronger than antibiotics in combating bacterial diseases, colds and flus.  This is likely due to its immune boosting effects as well as  garlic’s potent antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties.   Cayenne pepper contains <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">capsaicin </i>which can open up your sinuses, fight inflammation, cardiovascular support, helps with ulcers, boosts immune system and metabolism.  “Cayenne pepper’s bright red color signals its high content of beta-carotene or pro-vitamin A.   Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Often called the anti-infection vitamin, vitamin A is essential for healthy epithelial tissues including the mucous membranes that line the nasal passages, lungs, intestinal tract and urinary tract and serve as the body’s first line of defense against invading pathogens.” <a href="http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=140" style="-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; border: 0px; color: #5c995e; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.2s ease 0s; vertical-align: baseline;">source.  </a>  The honey and lemon also have the reputation, in terms of healing. Together they form a veritable elixir that will set you free from your cold or flu.</div>

<b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Best Ways to Lighten Dark Underarms:</b></div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Apply Lemon Juice</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Lemon is one of the natural bleaching agent and many of us are not aware about it. Rub your underarms with lemon juice every day before taking a bath. It will slowly lighten the area. After bath, use moisturizer to soften the skin and skip deodorants for a few days.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Use Waxing</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The main reasons for dark underarms are shaving or apply hair removal creams. Instead of shaving or hair removal creams, try waxing. It will hurt you a lot but the hair will definitely be removed from the root and your underarms will appear fairer immediately.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Apply Potato and cucumber juices</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Like lemon, Potato also works as a natural bleaching agent. You can rub underarm skin with thinly sliced potatoes and leave it on for 15 minutes and wash. You can also apply potato juice to the affected area. Definitely you can feel the difference. Similarly, you can use cucumber and apply the juice under your arms.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Use Lightening Masks</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
You can make a homemade whitening pack and apply it to remove underarm darkness. To prepare the mask at home, mix a handful of gram flour with yogurt, lemon and a little turmeric powder. Keep it for 15-20 minutes, and then wash it off. If you are decided to buy a readymade mask from market then try to buy clay-based lightening skin mask.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Try Sandalwood and Rose Water</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
One of the greatest ways to remove dark underarms is to create a paste with sandalwood and rose water. Sandalwood has lightening properties and rose water will cool down the skin. Leave the paste for a few minutes and wash it. Use this paste every day to see a difference.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; margin: 0px 0px 25px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
<li style="border: 0px none; list-style: disc outside none; margin: 0px 0px 5px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;"><b style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">Reduce the Use of deodorants</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px none; color: #333333; font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19.5px; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Deodorant is one of the main reasons for dark underarms. Instead of using deodorants, use natural remedies to overcome body odor for a few days. Anti-fungal powders and alum are also great alternatives. Once your underarms changed to lighter, then use the deodorants that made for sensitive skins.</div>

You’d love to have a flat belly for the party tonight, but thanks to one too many sodas or that basket of tortilla chips, zipping your pants is a real struggle. Abdominal bloating not only looks bad, but can cause physical discomfort. The good news? Experts say stomach bloating is a condition you can avoid pretty easily.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />We’re not talking about extra pounds of stomach fat here, but the temporary abdominal distention that plagues most everyone from time to time. Unless your stomach bloating is because of a medical condition, such as liver or heart disease, the only real cause is intestinal gas not “water weight,” says Michael Jensen, MD, an endocrinologist and obesity researcher at Mayo Clinic.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“It is a myth that bloating in the stomach is from fluid accumulation in healthy adults, because the abdomen is not a place where fluids accumulate first,” Jensen says. “Instead, you would see it in your feet or ankles as long as you are upright.”<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />So what causes gas to accumulate and wreak havoc on how you feel and look? Experts say there are several causes, from food intolerances to constipation.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 1: Avoid Constipation.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Too little fiber, fluids, and physical activity can lead to constipation, which can result in bloating, Jensen says.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />To avoid this, eat a diet high in fiber (25 daily grams for women and 38 for men) from whole grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Also, drink plenty of fluids (aim for 6-8 glasses a day) and aim for physical activity for at least 30 minutes, five times a week.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re eating a low-fiber diet, gradually bump up the fiber level, making sure you also drink plenty of fluids for better tolerance.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 2: Rule Out Wheat Allergies or Lactose Intolerance.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Food allergies and intolerances can cause gas and bloating, but these need to be confirmed by your doctor. Many people self-diagnose these conditions and unnecessarily eliminate healthy dairy and whole grains from their diets. If you suspect you have an allergy or intolerance, see your doctor for tests.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
You may benefit from reducing the amount of the suspected food and/or eating it with other foods. In the case of dairy, it can help to choose aged cheeses and yogurts, which are lower in lactose.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 3: Don’t Eat Too Fast.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Eating quickly and not chewing your food well can cause air swallowing that leads to bloating, says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />So slow down and enjoy your food. Your meals should last at least 30 minutes. Also, keep in mind that digestion begins in the mouth, and you can decrease bloating just by chewing your food more, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
There’s another benefit to slowing things down: When you take your time to thoroughly chew and taste your food, your snack or meal becomes more satisfying. And studies have shown that if you eat more slowly, you may end up eating less.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 4: Don’t Overdo Carbonated Drinks.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
The fizz in carbonated drinks (even diet ones) can cause gas to get trapped in your belly, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead, drink water flavored with lemon, lime, or cucumber. Or just reduce the number of fizzy drinks you consume each day. Try some peppermint tea for a soothing beverage that may help reduce bloat.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 5: Don’t Overdo Chewing Gum.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Chewing gum can also lead to swallowing air, which can cause bloating.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’ve got a gum habit, alternate chewing gum with sucking on a piece of hard candy or eating a healthy, high-fiber snack like fruit, vegetables, or lower-fat popcorn.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 6: Watch Out for Sugar-Free Foods.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Many of my patients suffer from bloating because they consume too much sugar alcohol in artificially sweetened foods and drinks,” which can lead to bloating, Blatner says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts recommend consuming no more than 2-3 servings per day of artificially sweetened foods and drinks.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 7: Limit Sodium.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Highly processed foods tend to be high in sodium and low in fiber, both of which can contribute to that bloated feeling, Jensen says.<br style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: none; padding: 0px;" />Get in the habit of reading food labels, Blatner advises. When buying processed, canned, or frozen foods, shoot for no more than 500 mg of sodium per serving in any product — or a total of 2,300 mg of sodium per day.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 8: Go Slow with Beans and Gassy Vegetables.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re not used to eating beans, they can cause that gassy feeling. So can the cruciferous family of vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
That doesn’t mean you should give up on these super-nutritious, high-fiber vegetables.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Don’t be nervous about beans,” Blatner says. “Just work them into your diet slowly until your body adjusts to the compounds that can initially cause gas.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Or, you can take an enzyme product like “Beano,” which can help reduce gas from beans or vegetables.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 9: Eat Smaller Meals More Often</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Instead of three big meals per day, try eating smaller meals more often. This can keep you free of the bloated feeling that often follows large meals (think Thanksgiving). Eating more frequently can also help control blood sugar and manage hunger.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
So go for five to six small meals each day, but make sure the quantity of food and calories are proportionate to your needs. To create a daily meal plan that includes the recommended amounts of all major nutrients, visit the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s “mypyramid” web site.</div>
<h3 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 24px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
Flat Belly Tip No. 10: Try Anti-Bloating Foods and Drinks.</h3>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
A few studies suggest that peppermint tea, ginger, pineapple, parsley, and yogurts containing probiotics (“good” bacteria) may help reduce bloating.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“These are safe foods that are good for you when used appropriately, so why not try them and see if they help you de-bloat?” says Blatner, author of The Flexitarian Diet.</div>
<h2 style="border: 0px none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 30px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1em; list-style: none; margin: 25px 0px 10px; outline: none; padding: 0px;">
A Final Word About Stomach Fat</h2>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts agree that laxatives, water pills, fasting, and skipping meals are not recommended, either to help you de-bloat or lose weight.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
If you’re looking to flatten your belly for the long term, there’s no substitute for losing a few pounds, Jensen says.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“For most everyone, when you lose total body fat, your body reduces belly fat preferentially,” he says. “Even though people lose weight differently, there is a little more lost in the abdominal region than elsewhere.”</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
Experts also say that doing ab exercises all day long won’t get rid of the excess belly. Although you can’t necessarily spot reduce, you can strengthen abdominal muscles with routines like Pilates and exercise ball workouts. And, stronger muscles can help your belly appear flatter.</div>
<div style="border: 0px none; list-style: none; outline: none; padding: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Toning and strengthening the abdominal muscles can help you look less fat [and] improve your appearance, muscle tone, and posture, which is also very good for your back,” Jensen says.</div>
