Wave Widening Hot Oil Method
I’ve seen a lot of people on this sub wondering about ways to widen their waves. Here’s the method I’ve been using. A few things to think about: 1) The method works by naturally increasing the elasticity in your hair so you can stretch your curl to maximum length over time 2) The method works better if you do it once a week over the period of a wolf (at least 4 weeks) 3) At the end of the day, your hair can only stretch so far as your curl pattern allows - this just helps you reach maximum potential Time: 45 minutes - 1 hour (depending on brush session) What You Need: Conditioner Oil (preferably hair growth oil like Jamaican castor oil) Softy Hand mirror Butter or pomade (butter preferred but there are good all natural pomades for longer wolf) Durag Optional: Water based moisturizer Step 1: Unrag and condition your hair I usually just do this in the shower. You don’t have to OD or nothing either just put the conditioner in your head in direction of your pattern let it sit for a few then wash it out. Make sure to leave your hair wet after you rinse out. Step 2: Heat up the oil Either put it in a bowl in the microwave or put it in a plastic cup and set the cup in boiling hot water. If you want to at this point while the oil is heating up, you can add moisturizer to your hair but it’s not necessary because you leave your hair wet after the rinse Step 3: Hot oil massage The oil should be hot to the touch but shouldn’t burn your fingers. If it’s that hot let it cool down a second. Massage the HOT oil on your scalp and on your hair with your fingertips for 10 minutes. Start with a quarter size amount and add about a dime size when you feel your hair absorb the oil. Don’t worry if you move your waves a little because you will brush them back into place in the next steps. Step 4: Let the oil sit for 5-10 minutes Step 5: Brush for 10-15 minutes with a soft brush. Step 6: Add in buttepomade and brush for another 10-15 minutes with soft brush. Step 7: Rag up While brushing during this method, you should notice your curl pattern is stretched a little bit wider than usual. That’s because the hot oil is temporary increasing your hairs elasticity. It’s important you use butter or pomade to seal the moisture and lock in the progress. As your hair gets better conditioned with the oil over weeks of doing this your hair elasticity will slowly increase til the highest it can go. After that, you won’t notice your waves getting wider while brushing and you can stop the method if you want until your curls shrink back again Products I use currently for this method: Conditioner (OGX Coconut Milk) Oil (Camille Rose Cocoa Nibs & Honey) Don’t roast me my girl told me get it!!! 🤣 Softy (Torino Pro - can’t remember the number but it’s a curve with the handle and tip, long soft yellow bristles) ButtePomade (Oyin Burnt sugar pomade) Durag (Dream silky) Optional Moisturizer (Curly Curl Cream Hair Lotion)
So 2020 was a bit of a dumpster fire. And by a bit, I mean a giant, steaming shitshow. But I got through a bunch of products, so yay? Per my usual, the following is a lengthy af list of products that I used or destashed, complete with notations unfit for human consumption, generally sweary thoughts, and rather crap formatting. Some of my 20 in 2020 pan list are included in this breakdown, but a full recap post on that adventure will be coming shortly. tldr: 78 haiskin/perfume/cosmetic products used/destashed, minus a midsummer destashing session that I forgot to document. Huda Beauty Kayali Vanilla|28 (Sample) Impressions: This is a nice, warm vanilla fragrance. Its pleasant (and oddly the same scent) at initial application and dried down. If you could get rid of that slightly chemical scent in VS Amber Romance, it would be this perfume. Wear time on me is about 4 hours. Easily wearable in most situations, unlikely to offend anyone’s nose. Weirdly, my sample is purple, but the stock image on Sephora is pale pink and it isn’t that old…. Repurchase: $85 for 50mL for glorified VS Amber Romance? Fuck outta here…. CORSX Acne Pimple Master Patch 24 count (KB) Impressions: I love these lil guys. Super handy to have around for hormonal acne flares. They stay on my face throughout the night, which is impressive given that I’m a restless sleeper. Repurchase: Definitely The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Celebrate Me Time Sheet Mask (LE) (KB) Impressions: The cuteness of this is adorable. The mask is printed with HK’s signature bow and cute accents. Pleasantly watermelon/sugary scented, well moistened mask. Does this do anything outstanding? No. Repurchase: Also no. But it was a nice 20 minute experience that made my skin happy. L’ador Tea Tree Scalp Clinic Hair Pack (KB) Impressions: This is the loveliest thing for getting rid of dry winter flakes and deep cleaning from summer product scalp buildup, especially when used with a shampoo brush. My husband even likes it for his scalp psoriasis. My only gripe is that I have yet to find a US vendor for this. Shipping from South Korea takes a small eternity. First world problems, I know. I just have to remember to order multiples at a time. {ed. note, this now is available from a US vendor (sokoglam.com) at a slightly higher price point. Score!} Repurchase: Definitely BH Cosmetics Stellar Lash (DS) Impressions: I love this mascara. Its like TF’s BTS’ nicer, older sister. Similar performance, but not as heavy or gloopy. Brushes are similar, but I think SL’s is a bit smaller. The bottle stopper is much more proportionate to the brush head as you don’t get metric tons of product on the wand like you do with BTS. Repurchase: Yes. I’ve got a full size of this mascara on my 20 in 20 pan list as well. The Doux One Love Co-Wash Impressions: I’m sure at one point in time I liked this product because it didn’t immediately get binned. However, at the time of review I’m trying to recover from some hair fuckery due to an incompetent stylist so I’m super salty about everything. At the moment, I like exactly three things about this product. 1) The packaging 2) The pale pink color 3) The fact that this bitch empty and gets to be yeeted into the recycling bin. Partial credit for being available at my local Target. Repurchase: No. {ed. note, I am rethinking my position on repurchasing this. I think it would be lovely for wintertime when I’m not sweating as much. I am also mostly recovered from the hair fuckery.} Shea Moisture Manuka Honey & Yogurt Hydrate + Repair Conditioner Impressions: I really like this whole line. The smell is incredible. The conditioner is thick without being too difficult to work with. Absorbs nicely into the hair. Good balance between moisture and protein. This is too heavy for my hair as a regular conditioner. I use it as a deep conditioner once or twice a month. This seems to be the sweet spot. Repurchase: Yes The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Complete Cleansing Makeup Wipes (LE) (KB) Impressions: Husband and I were out of the country visiting relatives over the Christmas holiday. I didn’t want to bring the full arsenal of cleansing products (and I wasn’t planning on wearing much makeup anyhow) so I picked these up. No lie, I was surprised how much I like these. The strawberry rosé scent is really nice and they did a good job of removing makeup without stripping my skin or stinging my eyes. Each wipe was moist and the compact packaging (great for travel!) had a nice locking lid, in addition to the interior sticker seal. Repurchase: Probably not. These are LE and I really only purchase wipes for travel purposes. If these are still around the next time I travel, then I would definitely repurchase. If they’re gone by then, I would likely purchase something comparable from the same brand. Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb in Glow Impressions: This is quite possibly my favorite lip gloss ever. I rave about it to anyone and everyone who asks about it. Repurchase: Yes. The next purchase will likely be in another shade, but I can always count on Glow. Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation, 228 Soft Tan Impressions: There’s nothing really *wrong* with this foundation, though I would have to say the “poreless” is a lie. But maybe that’s just me. I get good wear time out of this and it is fairly lightweight. Decent coverage, though I’m not a fan of how it looks built up. I’m tossing this because it is way too dark; at least two shades too dark while wet and between three and four shades once dry. Its also pretty old; I bought it when I was living in Hawaii and I haven’t lived there for a few years. Repurchase: Probably not. Its fine, but there are other foundations that I like better (with better shade ranges) that I would rather wear. Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation, Medium Impressions: I love this. It is everything I ever wanted in a powder foundation. In a compact. Has a nice sponge (crap sponges are a pet peeve). Applies nicely with said sponge or with a brush. Lightly scented. Good coverage. Behaves itself as a standalone or as a light helper to BB creams. I finally panned this one (which took ages) and I’ve got one more in backup. Repurchase: Sadly, no. This has gone the way of the dodo, like so many of the products us Old Bats love. I’m contemplating TF’s Born This Way Powder as a substitute, but the mixed reviews give me some concern. I have plenty of setting powders to get through before I buy another powder foundation, plus I’ve had my eye on RCMA’s colorless powder for a while. LA Girl Pro Conceal HD Concealer, Medium Beige Impressions: I used to like this. I really did. But, not any more. My skin (specifically, my Old Bat under eyes) cannot take thick cosmetics anymore. While playing with some application techniques & cocktails to thin the product out, I came to the realization that this it also completely the wrong shade & undertone for my skin now. I have been victimized by my own shitty lighting. {ed. note: I suspect my skin tone changes are due to a combination of winter-induced paleness and some sneaky lightening ingredients in current skincare regimen. Will investigate further.} I had a decent amount of product left, but it had been open for a while and the formula was starting to change a bit. I decided that money wasted is still wasted, regardless of if it sits in my stash or in the trash. Since I hate clutter, in the bin it went. I don’t miss it. Repurchase: No, unless it is for Halloween/costume party related purposes. You can’t beat the coverage or shade range for the price. IPKN Moist & Firm BB Cream, Medium (KB) Impressions: I like the SPF. I like the scent. Applies nicely and has good coverage. I get decent wear time out of this. However, it oxidizes like a mfer. Doesn’t matter what primer I use, doesn’t matter if I freshly wash my face right before application, setting powder, no setting powder, primer vs no primer, it oxidizes. Which is a shame because its a pretty good color match at initial application. But within an hour its two shades too dark and orange. I’ve had success combating that with mixing in blue color corrector, however *insert ain’t nobody got time for that meme here*. It might just be too moisturizing for my skin. Repurchase: No, which is super disappointing. Back on the hunt I go. Elizabeth Arden My Fifth Avenue (DS) Impressions: This is one of the most generic smelling perfumes I’ve ever tried. Lasts maybe 2 hours on my skin, which is just sad. I get absolutely no citrus (which is supposed to be a top note), just a vague, generic floral, and a hint of musk. It isn’t offensive by any means, its just….there. It is quite light and would be a nice summer option, but this is definitely not for me. Repurchase: No Wet N Wild Photofocus Stick Foundation, Classic Beige Impressions: I'm sure this is a great formulation for someone. I am not that person. This did nothing for me. Emphasized all my texture/pores/fine lines. Just sat on my skin. Amazingly, it looks even worse on camera. I swear I look 10 years older wearing this. This bad boy gets yeeted into the trash with zero regrets. Repurchase: Hard no. LA Girl Slim Shady, Darkest Brown Impressions: I fucking love this thing. Its cheap. Doesn’t have funky undertones. Is pigmented. Its retractable. Can be blended easily, but doesn’t melt off as soon as you look at it. It even has a nice spoolie. Repurchase: Yes, yes, a thousand times yes The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Celebrate Whipped Cacao Hand Cream (LE) (KB) x3 Impressions: This is a nice lil hand cream to keep at my desk or in my purse. It isn’t strong enough to bring my skin back from full on lizard status, but its fine for restoring moisture after washing my hands. It absorbs fairly quickly. The scent is not obnoxiously heavy and fades pretty quickly. Basically, there’s nothing special about this Repurchase: This is a LE product, so its no longer available. However, if if it weren’t LE I don’t think I would repurchase Chapstick Lipbalm, Spearmint Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. Except for the (very faint) mint flavoscent, I enjoyed nothing about this. Too waxy. Not moisturizing. Repurchase: God no Hourglass Mineral Veil Primer (mini) Impressions: I enjoy just about everything this primer offers, except for the pump. When you get about halfway through the bottle, it just turns into this leaky, gloopy shitshow. It doesn’t impact the primer’s performance, but greatly decreases my desire to use it. Repurchase: Maybe. If the alleged NYX dupe is comparable, then probably not. But I do like it enough to for it to be a repeat contender. Colourpop Brow Boss Gel, Clear Impressions: This is a nice lil’ gel. Has good hold, dries down matte. Plays nicely with every product I’ve thrown at it. Even works pretty well as a primer. It even has a good price point. Repurchase: Maybe. I’m currently wearing my brows pretty short and filling them in with ABH brow gel [I find it easier to work with than Dip Brow] , so I don’t have a current need for a clear product. However, if that changes I would likely repurchase. L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation, Natural Beige Impressions: Pretty decent color match. Decent amount of glow without veering into glitter. Plays nicely with most primers I’ve tried it with, but it does not like the Hourglass Mineral Veil; I put those two together and Hello! Texture City. I get decent wear time. The packaging says that this is medium coverage and I would mostly agree, but it can get cakey quickly. I do like that I can sheer this out with a face serum pretty easily. Repurchase: Maybe? I’m not mad at it. It performs better than some prestige brands I’ve tried. I’ve got a few other foundations to get through in my stash and a couple on my post no-buy list to try out. As long as they don’t change the formula, I wouldn’t mind going back to this. Mario Badescu Facial Spray (Aloe, Chamomile, & Lavender) Impressions: This does absolutely nothing for my skin. It smells lovely though. And its a very pretty shade of purple that complements the packaging. Those are literally the only redeeming things I can identify. Repurchase: Hard no. The Body Shop Shea Nourishing Body Butter Impressions: This is good in the drier winter months and is great for year-round application to feet and elbows. However, it is too damn heavy for the rest of my body in the warm, humid months. Repurchase: Probably not. I like the coconut one better. I’ve also learned that I only need to have one of these on hand at any time since I’m shit at remembering to apply moisturizer to my body. Love Beauty and Planet Coconut Water & Mimosa Flower Lucious Hydration Hand Lotion Impressions: This is, quite possibly, one of my favorite hand lotions ever. I love the scent. I love the quick absorption time. I love the scent. I love the lack of greasy residue. Did I mention I love the scent? Because I do. I want everything in my house to smell like this, always. Repurchase: Yes Wet N Wild Megaslim Skinny Tip Eyeliner Impressions: The eyeliner itself is okay. I’ve tried two skinny/micro liquid liners and have come to the realization that they’re just not for me. It likely has to do with my eye shape (hooded, close-set, AND deep-set) I binned this because I literally can’t remember when I opened it and I have this thing about liquid liners being open for extended periods of time. I’m pretty sure I opened it before Mr. Lew and I started house hunting and that was early 2019. Repurchase: No. I have this crazy idea that I want to give the Tarte Amazonian Clay liner (in the tube) a chance again. Or just suck it up and stick to pencil liners. The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Pink Water Creme Ultra Dewy Face Cream (LE) (KB) Impressions: I really like this, but I don’t think its quite moisturizing enough for my winter skin. Its a very light, slippery texture. Absorbs fairly quickly into the skin without being too sticky. Really nice watermelon (?) scent that isn’t overpowering. Nice, heavy packaging. Doubles nicely as a lightweight hand cream. Repurchase: Sadly, no. This was a Winter Holiday LE release. I very much liked this formula and would be open to buying something comparable from the brand for summer months. [Ed. Note: This is back in stock on Creme Shop’s website as of 22 October 20, so I may acquire myself a jar to help combat the Differin-induced dryness & flaking that is my skin rn] NYX Lip Lingerie, Exotic Impressions: I like the color (a richer sort of MLBB) and the coverage, but it drives me crazy that this never dries down. I don’t mind a little bit of tackiness, but this constantly feels wet and sticky. Repurchase: No. There are other liquid lip formulas (Colourpop, NARS Powermatte) that I like much better. Girl + Hair Under Hair Care Protective Restoring Balm Impressions: I bought this with the intention of using it to keep my hair & scalp moisturized when I started wearing more protective styles aside from the Curly BunTM. I had the brilliant idea that I would do my own box braids. Utter. Fucking. Fail. As is this product. Like a lot of products geared towards “natural” hair, this is much too heavy for my fine AF hair. Two days after putting a SMALL amount on my scalp, I was still a greasy betch. I love the packaging (squeeze nozzles ftw!) and the scent is pretty nice. Repurchase: I like the idea of this product, but ultimately its a no from me. I am interested in trying out other products from this company though. Blueberry Bliss Control Paste Impressions: I bought this on the recommendation of one of my favorite natural hair YouTubers. I don’t particularly care for the scent. Its definitely fruity and sweet, but not that I would immediately identify as blueberry. This does a great job at adding shine, an okay job at controlling the frizz halo, and a shit job at holding my edges. Additionally, something in this strongly disagrees with my scalp. I’ve used it about a dozen times and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. my scalp gets dry and itchy af and flaky. Repurchase: Hard no. Chapstick Lipbalm, Strawberry Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. Except for the (very faint) berry flavoscent, I enjoyed nothing about this. Too waxy. Not moisturizing. Repurchase: Nope Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Water Flowers & Sea Salt x2 Impressions: This is a great lil hand cream in a lovely scent. Absorbs pretty quickly. Nicely moisturizing. Does a good job of holding off handwashing-induced lizard skin. This is another one of those scents where I would not object to ALL THE THINGS smelling like. Repurchase: Yup The Creme Shop x Hello Kitty Lip Balm, Winter Apple Pie (LE) (KB) Impressions: The packaging is adorable (pink macaron shaped pot) and that’s about all I like. The scent is okay, but I would never in a million years identify this as apple pie. Or an apple. Or anything apple-adjacent. There is no artificial flavor, but the taste of the actual balm is no bueno. It isn’t particularly moisturizing and has a tendency to just sit on top of your lips, never really absorbing in. It might be useful as a sleeping pack, but the thick, waxy nature of the balm is pretty off-putting and challenging to work with. I may keep the container to use for decanting purposes or travel purposes IF THIS FUCKING PANDEMIC WILL EVER END. Repurchase: No. This was a Winter Holiday LE product. Even if it was in their regular catalog, I wouldn’t buy this again. Essence Melted Chrome Liquid Lipstick, Copper Dropper Impressions: This is really nice packaging, particularly for a budget brand. The tube feels substantial. The wand handle matches (mostly) the lipstick shade and a good chunk of the tube is transparent so you can see how much product you have remaining. I will never, ever pan this because this lipstick gives me the WORST case of butthole lips. I don’t even like metallic lipstick, let alone metallic liquid lipstick. WTF even was I thinking. That said, the wear time is pretty good. Repurchase: God no. NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream, Copenhagen Impressions: I fucking love this lip cream, but damn if this shade isn’t a pain in the ass to get even. Even with matching lipliner, I still can’t get an even coat. Which is super frustrating because I love dark berry/goth-adjacent lipsticks. Repurchase: Product yes, shade no Taliah Waajid Protective Styles Bamboo, Biotin & Basil Restoring Serum Impressions: I love this as a scalp treatment, either in conjunction with a deep conditioner or on its own. I’m not sure if it actually does anything for promoting hair growth, but it does make my scalp feel nice. Repurchase: God I would love to. This particular product has either been discontinued or reformulated into another product. The original formulation (of dubious age/authenticity) is still available on Amazon, but at a ridonkulous markup. I may try the new version once I make a dent in the current inventory. Creme of Nature Sulfate-Free Moisture & Shine Shampoo with Argan Oil Impressions: For a sulfate-free shampoo, this produces a surprising amount of lather. I love the smell; spicy and exotic and warm. Kind of reminds me of Dior Hypnotic Poison. Cleanses well and does provide a decent amount of shine. Strangely helps with detangling. One of my faves. Repurchase: Hell yes. CARE:NEL Special Lip Care Lip Sleeping Mask (KB) Impressions: Got this on Amazon as a dupe for the OG Laneige lip mask. This came in a three pack and I *think* this is the last one. The product is nice and thick and lasts most of the night. The mask (balm? goo?) is slightly sweet-scented, but not aggressively so. Repurchase: Maybe? I don’t think this is functionally different than Lanolips, but it is a good product that does work well. Carol’s Daughter Almond Milk Leave-In Conditioner Impressions: This has a ridiculously strong almond smell at first application, though it mellow out fairly quickly. This made my hair crunchy as shit. I don’t know what moisturizing properties it was supposed to have, but my bottle clearly missed out on them. The sprayer is nice though. Repurchase: Hard no. Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask x2 Impressions: Like most Neutrogena products, I love the way this smells. This is a really nice drugstore deep conditioner. Actually does what it says on the label. My biggest gripe is that, at only six ounces, I go through this way too fast because of the ridiculous amount of hair I have. Repurchase: Probably Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Mist (KB) Impressions: There is something in this (pretty sure its the fermented yeast) that my skin loooooooves. Very faint smell, good sized bottle, gloriously fine spray. If I can ever figure out how to get the top off, I’ll likely decant my setting spray into it. Repurchase: Hard yes Missha Time Revolution Clear Toner (KB) Impressions: I can’t nail down what it is about this product that works so well with my skin. It doesn’t seem to do anything special at first appearance, but I can tell when its presence is lacking in my routine. Maybe its the fermented yeast, might be the gentle AHAs/BHAs, but whatever it is, I love it. Repurchase: Yes Creme of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment with Argan Oil Impressions: This entire product line is one of the best smelling things I’ve ever put on my body. This conditioner is a little weird. Too rich for a regular conditioner, not quite rich enough for a full on deep conditioner. I haven’t tried leaving this on overnight, but 15-30 minutes (my hair is dry AF, don’t judge me) is about right for a nice little pick me up. If CoN ever decides to branch out and put out body care scented like this, it will be the the only body wash I used forever and ever, amen. Repurchase: Hard yes Dionis Goat Milk Hand Cream, Vanilla Bean Impressions: Like the other scent in this product line I’ve tried, I love this cream. It is hydrating and absorbs quickly. However, there is something in this scent’s fragrance that wants to stab me in my frontal lobe. Its sweet and vanilla-y, but there is another note (vaguely cinnamon-adjacent) that is just too damn much. Oddly, that note isn’t present in the vanilla bean lip balm, which I love. It took me a couple times to realize that using this hand cream was almost guaranteed to give me a low-level migraine, so I gifted it to Mom, who finished it in like a week. Repurchase: Product, yes. Scent, no. Colourpop Ultra Glossy Lip, Free Spirit (LE) Impressions: I’ve been looking for a dupe for an early 00s L’Oréal lip gloss (that was this glorious, mostly opaque caramel) for the better part of a decade. To date, I am still stymied in my search because this gloss ain’t it. The packaging is cute and the gloss itself is okay, but doesn’t last for shit. The color, which seems quite opaque in the tube, but is utterly invisible on my lips. The brush turned into an angry hedgehog within about a month of use, which has never happened with other CP glosses. In short, a total fail. Whomp. Repurchase: No. This shade was part of the LE Frozen II collection. Even if it wasn’t, I still wouldn’t repurchase this. COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in one Cream (KB) Impressions: This bad boy has never failed me. High concentration of snail mucus, which my skin loves. Pleasant smell. Reasonable price, if you don’t buy from Ulta. Easily sourced at multiple US-based vendors. Hella sticky though. Repurchase: Yes, once I make a dent in my utterly ridiculous skincare stash Skinfood Peachy Jelly Soothing Gel 90 (KB) Impressions: This smells like a peach jolly rancher. I fucking love that. Lightweight, which is great for the hot & humid South. This will not fix Winter Lizard Skin, but it is great for healthy skin barriers that need some gentle love. I prefer to use this on my body post-shower, but it is also nice as a sleeping pack or to chill skin out that has had too many actives on it. Absorbs fairly quickly, but can get sticky if you go ham on application. 8/10. Would recommend. Bonus tip! Keep this bad boy in the fridge for a delightful cooling experience. Repurchase: Yes, but I’m not sure if its still available. The packaging says it is LE, but its still in stock at Skinfood’s website. Ulta (my original sale point) no longer carries it, so who knows. If I can repurchase, I will. I have several backups of this and the Aloe, which I kind of want to try on my hair… Clinique Take the Day off Cleansing Balm (travel size) Impressions: This was a desperation purchase. I needed a small, balm/solid cleanser to take with me last Winter Holiday to go in my carryon as the husband and I were travelling overseas. This was the only thing I could find in the timeframe I had that was small enough to meet my needs, that was NOT a bar of soap. This is very effective at taking makeup off. Its also effective at trashing my skin. I ended up hate panning it when I ran out of my beloved Heimish and everywhere was out of stock thanks to Ms. Rona. At this point, I’m permanently swearing off all Clinique products except Black Honey. Repurchase: Hard no Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base (DS) Impressions: This is nice. Hydrating without making me oily. Plays nicely on its own and with most of my foundations. Doesn’t break me out. Thick, without being too heavy. HOWEVER. Baby girl smells like Lemon Pledge and that shit lingers. I can honestly say that I’ve never had a cosmetic smell like a household cleaner before so….. Repurchase: Maybe. I’m not mad at it, but I don’t know if I love it enough to get over the Lemon Pledge smell. Morphe Continuous Setting Mist Impressions: I was on the fence about repurchasing this last year (this is one of my backups) and I’m still on the fence about repurchasing because I find the brand to be somewhat problematic and some of their partnerships to be very problematic. However, some of their products are really great. Like this mist. Its still one of the best I’ve ever tried. I’m still open to looking for something comparable, but the aerosolized mist is just *chef’s kiss*. Ethical consumption in capitalism is such a bitch. Repurchase: ? ***pretend there are detailed reviews of the big ass box of hair & makeup products that I destashed but couldn’t be bothered to document, mmmkay?*** The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA Impressions: I bought this on a whim after reading some promising reviews on Reddit. I also needed something that could travel with me as Mr. Lew and I were traveling for 2019 Winter Holiday. I kind of liked it at the time, but not so much anymore. I think I liked it because it was winter (cold) and I was in the mountains (dry air). Upon returning to warm & humid Florida, this doesn’t seem to do anything for me. I’ve struggled to use this as a face moisturizer, hand cream, and body lotion. I’m giving up. Repurchase: No, unless I’m traveling again and need something to get me through for a few days. The Creme Shop x gudetama Gold Peel-Off Mask for Nose (LE) (KB) Impressions: I suspected this would be crap when I bought it, but I was hopeful as I liked other LE offerings from this brand. I was sadly disappointed. This took forever to dry and barely did anything to my skin. Its got a pleasant smell and is a lovely shade of gold. That’s about it. Repurchase: No Bioderma Atoderm Ultra-Moisturizing Lip Balm Impressions: I picked this up on the recommendation of a fellow MUACJ Redditor and HOLY SHIT! This is one of the best lip balms I’ve ever used. Which is somewhat baffling because there is nothing revolutionary about the ingredients. But somehow, these French wizards hit one out of the park. Lightweight, but moisturizing. Not sticky. No flavor. Weirdly, vaguely smells like blue raspberry. But it somehow works. The only thing I’m slightly salty about is how quickly I’ve gone through the tube. Repurchase: Hell yes Mizon Original Skin Energy Collagen 100 ampoule (KB) Impressions: I think I like this. And I think it works, but I’ve been really inconsistent about using it so its hard to tell. I generally like Mizon ampoules and find they absorb rather quickly. They make my preferred HA. Repurchase: One more time to actually see if it does anything of note. Sixteen92 Super Natural Hair Serum, Malum Malus (DS) Impressions: I received this as a DS with the Fall (Halloween? Falloween? IDK) 2019 CAoS set I purchased. Malum Malus is my favorite scent in that line and the fragrance lasts a long time without being overpowering. The serum itself is a bit thicker than I’m used to, but is okay. Repurchase: Probably not, unless I just *really* fell in love with a scent and needed to wrap myself in it. I have other serums that I prefer and am much more likely to repurchase Shea Moisture Mongongo & Hemp Seed Oils High Porosity Moisture Correct Masque Impressions: I really love this. It provides such a moisture injection to my hair in addition to the protein my high porosity hair needs. Nice and thick. Great smell. Really needs a cap to absorb into the hair Repurchase: Hell yes. The Ordinary Azelaic Acid Suspension 10% Impressions: I kind of like this and can tell it has had an improvement in my hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. However, it hasn’t done much for my texture and has minimally improved brightness. Its cheap and doesn’t irritate my skin. I’m not wild about the dimethicone, but it isn’t a deal breaker. Repurchase: Maybe once more. I’m incorporating more Vitamin C products in my routine to address the lack of brightness. If those work well, then I likely won’t repurchase. Hask Cactus Water Prickly Pear See Oil 5-in-1 Leave in Spray Impressions: Got this for my mom, who ended up not liking it that much. This plays surprisingly well with my hair. It conditions without being heavy and is sort of okay at managing the frizz halo. I detangle in the shower so I can’t really say whether this does anything for that. The scent is quite lovely and the mist is nice & fine. Repurchase: Definitely Design Essentials Natural Almond & Avocado Moisturizing & Detangling Sulfate Free Shampoo Impressions: I’m not mad at this. Easily accessible, reasonable price point. Does moisturize. Not as detangling as the CoN Argan Oil but does have a bit of slip to it. The scent is not my favorite, but it doesn’t linger so I’m not going to hold that against it. It does its job and does it fine; I’m just not wowed by it. Admittedly, I don’t think I’ve ever been wowed by a shampoo so I might be expecting too damn much. Repurchase: Maybe one more time to see if I really like it. Majestic Pure Cosmeceuticals Rosehip Oil Impressions: I like this, but struggle to use it in warmer months. Its great for the winter and plays nicely with my skin, hair, and cuticles. It is too heavy to use as an allover scalp treatment, but is good for the occasional dry patch. Repurchase: In a smaller container, for sure. This 4 ounce bottle took me ages to get through and it went off before I could get more than halfway through. The Ordinary Marine Hyaluronics Impression: I don’t care for this. It does nothing worthwhile for my skin. Fell for the Reddit hype. I’m definitely going back to my KB HA. Repurchase: No Too Cool For School Rules of Mastic IX Cream (KB) Impression: I’m not mad at this. It has a lovely smell, is quite thick, and nicely moisturizes my skin. This is great at bringing back winter lizard skin, but its a bit too much for non-winter facial skin. My mom quite enjoys it as a hand cream, but its too strongly scented for her face. Repurchase: Maybe? I’m still on the fence. Creme of Nature Pure Honey Moisturizing Dry Defense Conditioner Impression: This conditioner is the shit. Its got slip, a nice scent, wallet-friendly price, bottle that fits nicely in my hand, and provides delicious, delicious moisture. Repurchase: Hell yes Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen & Restore Treatment Masque Impression: I genuinely adore this masque. I love the scent. I love the way it makes my hair feel afterwards. My only gripes are pretty minimal; I wish it was slightly less thick (its kind of hard to spread in my hair) and had a smidge more slip. Repurchase: Yes Sunday Riley Good Genes Impression: I used to love this and then they went and reformulated it. And now I’m not sure how I feel about the new new. I don’t think its as strong as it used to be, but that may be a factor of my super inconsistent usage. I like that its vacuum sealed and the product itself is protected from light. I’m not the biggest fan of the scent, but it isn’t nearly as aggressive as the Bobbi Brown vitamin face base that reeks of Pledge. Repurchase: I’m reserving judgement on this. I want to buy this one more time, consistently use it, then make a final decision. {ed. note: upon further reflection, I will not be repurchasing this} Fanofi Micro-Needle Soothing Patch (KB) Impressions: These are delightful for taming the occasional hormonal cystic acne. Repurchase: Yes Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Sea Treasures Impressions: This is a great lil hand cream in a lovely scent. Absorbs pretty quickly. Nicely moisturizing. Does a good job of holding off handwashing-induced lizard skin. This is another one of those scents where I would not object to ALL THE THINGS smelling like. Repurchase: Yup Physician’s Formula Healthy Lip Liquid Lipstick, Vitamin Beet Impressions: I got this several years ago in a vault that was heavily on sale. This is the last of the remaining tubes. The lipstick itself is okay, nothing revolutionary. I enjoy the triangle-shaped (tulip?) applicator. I hate this color and have absolutely no intention of ever wearing it. Repurchase: Nope NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment, American Woman (DS) Impressions: I genuinely like this formula. The application is a bit finicky due to how close the cap is to the doe foot, but I’m not going to hold that against it as this is a DS. The color is perfectly fine, a pinkish-brown MLBB shade. However, I own approximately 25 products this color and its time to destash. Repurchase: Formula yes, color no. Sephora gloss, Lady Luck Impressions: Ever met a person and then immediately forgot everything about them because they’re so bland? That’s this gloss. The color is pretty in the tube. The packaging is nice. And that’s about it. Repurchase: No. Its nothing against the product itself, but it doesn’t spark joy. Lime Crime Velvetine, Beet It (GWP) Impressions: Got this as a gift with purchase from a Postmark order. Repurchase: Nope Lanolips Hydrating Lip Luminiser, Beach Pop Impressions: I bought this in the hopes that it would be as awesome as their multipurpose balm. I was sadly, sadly disappointed. I like absolutely nothing about this product except the color. It smells horrible, tastes worse, and is stupidly thick. Repurchase: No Lanolips Hydrating Lip Luminiser, Desert Glow Impressions: See above Repurchase: No The Ordinary Buffet Impressions: I honestly couldn’t tell you if this did anything for my skin. It was hella sticky though and didn’t sting, so it has that working in its favor. Repurchase: No Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab Aelopile (imp) Impressions: Scent description from website: Glowing amber and citrus, labdanum, verbena, cedar, and oud. I definitely get amber, some verbena, and oud. This wears warm and spicy on me, but not aggressively so. I suspect this would be lovely in a room oil warmer. Repurchase: Yes Estee Lauder Beautiful Belle (DS) Impressions: This goes hard on the white floral with very light rose & musk and virtually no other notes. This is a very heavy fragrance to me, but I think that’s due to the gardenia, which I’m quite sensitive to. A generic, inoffensive fragrance that’s not remarkable in any way. Pretty much the antithesis of what I like my perfumes to smell like. Repurchase: Hard no Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab The Apothecary (imp) Impressions: Scent description from the website: Tea leaf with three mosses, green grass, a medley of herbal notes, and a drop of ginger and fig. I get the fig and some heavier tea notes. I much prefer the scent in the tube; there you can pick up the ginger, grass, and some sort of herbaceous notes. On my skin its still nice, just not my cuppa. Repurchase: It does not spark joy, so no. Dionis Goat Milk Skincare Natural Goat Milk Hand Cream, Water Flowers & Sea Salt Impressions: I have accepted that I am a Stan for these hand creams. I am just obsessed with them. I want everything to smell like this. Repurchase: Yup Missha Time Revolution The First Treatment Mist (KB) Impressions: My skin loves this Repurchase: Sadly no. This product is no longer made and I can’t find a reasonable dupe in mist form. I’ve replaced this in my routine with Neogen Real-Ferment Micro Essence.
Motherhood - The power to reproduce was given only to the Female species they were the stronger version of the species. They had the capacity to adapt, adjust and endure the birth of their offspring and then nurture them till they are fully capable to handle the world themselves. Pregnancy is a equally blissful and painful phenomenon. Pregnancy is Blissful for the women as she feels her womanhood is complete when this happen and the some of the bodily changes changes are so painful and nerve-wrecking that some days it is beyond explanation. There are a lot of bodily changes happening through out the pregnancy and post pregnancy period which every woman should understand and be well equipped to manage and accept them. The nine months of pregnancy sees a lot of changes in a woman’s body. Some of the physical changes are visible, like the expanding belly and weight gain, while some are internal body changes which are not so visible like the enlarged uterus, morning sickness and backaches. It’s really a remarkable feat to see how a woman's body adapts and accommodates during pregnancy. A Head to Toe guide for bodily changes during pregnancy. Skin Skin changes are common, but the most bothersome to women are stretch marks which may be itchy. Obese women and women who gained weight rapidly during pregnancy or have bigger fetuses due to collagen or connective tissue breakdown, are likely to have stretch marks. Cocoa butter helps relieve the itchiness of stretch marks, but there may not be a way to prevent them. Stretch Marks usually shrink and become less noticeable after delivery. https://preview.redd.it/kgujso766hb61.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ad5322c2bfef91f5784fac4de50f07a1e25d5d8 Pigment changes,known as melasma or chloasma or mask of pregnancy are a common occurrence. Brownish patches may appear around eyes, cheeks or nose and also on the face due to increase in melanin. Varying hormone levels may produce a dark line on the abdomen from belly button to pubic bone. This pigment known as linea negra, is usually more common in women with a dark complexion, and it often fades after delivery. Freckles and moles tend to darken and enlarge during pregnancy due to pigment changes. Acne flares up during pregnancy because of more oil secretion due to hormonal shifts. Mouth and oral hygiene. Bleeding gums even though a common pregnancy complaint they may create opportunity for infections to infiltrate your body.women become more defenseless to infections during due to lower immune system during pregnancy. Oral hygiene is of utmost importance during pregnancy. Some women are afraid to go to the dentist while pregnant for dental X-rays but it is very safe to do this if required during pregnancy if the belly is properly shielded from radiation. Hair and nails A woman may grow long and healthier hair during those days due to increase in estrogen but may also have to face unwanted hair growth at unwanted places like upper lip, stomach, back and nipples. Moreover after pregnancy due to low estrogen levels may also have to face more shedding of hair, which is quite normal and regrowth of normal hair will occur within 4-6 months after delivery. Like hair, nails also tend to grow faster when a woman is pregnant and tend to be a coarsen the texture of nails, making them more brittle and soft, and may even split more easily. Breasts During pregnancy a woman’s breast tends to become more tender, full and sensitive to touch. Areolas- the skin around the nipples also darken and enlarge during pregnancy. A woman's breasts may start leaking colostrum, a milky fluid during the third trimester but it can occur earlier too. Joints and ligaments Relaxins, relax the ligaments in a woman's pelvis to make space for the baby to come out, it also stretches joints and ligaments every where in the body leading to sciatic pain along sciatic nerve and back pain. yoga is recommended to pregnant women, especially cat pose and cow pose, which are both good for lower body discomfort. Feet In some women their feet grow an entire shoe size during pregnancy due to increase in growth hormone and swelling in the feet and ankles may be caused due to the body’s tendency to produce extra fluids that might pool in these two locations. Belly button The belly button expands in the second or third trimester and pops out in the third trimester. Body temperature Increased metabolic activity during pregnancy will make the pregnant Women feel warmer and sweat a lot. To stay cool and hydrated, especially in the summer, women should wear loose clothing and drink plenty of water every day.

My complete research about Nofap . A little lengthy .
Combining Some Texts that i read on Bhramcharya / Semen Retention There are two things in this world that one should not waste. One is money and the other is semen. All the money in this world is going down the drain. It should not be used for oneself. Money should not be misused and one should practice brahmacharya as much as possible. The ultimate extract of our nourishment is semen and it is dissipated and lost in sex. There are certain nerves in the body that help preserve semen and this in turn protects the body. Therefore, brahmacharya should be preserved as much as possible. With brahmacharya you can achieve whatever you want to. With brahmacharya your worldly aims will be accomplished. You will be able to follow your vows and commitments. There is ease of further progress in all directions. The extract of non- Self, brahmacharya is a very important. If this is present it opens the Self. The person who is under the vow of brahmacharya will never fall, no matter how bad the difficulties. That is called safe side. Brahmacharya is the king of the body. A person practicing brahmacharya has a wonderful mind. Brahmacharya is the extract of the entire living body. Sex is poison is not known. If they did know that sex is poison, they would stay away from it. So many people ask me, ‘What is there in sex that my whole body feels like death after experiencing the pleasure of sex, my mind dies and my speech dies?’ I tell them that all these people indulging in sexuality are already dead, but because you have not awakened to this fact, the same condition occurs again and again. Otherwise if ever brahmacharya is preserved, each human being has so much energy. The knowledge of the Self is the ultimate essence of time (samayasaar). This is real awareness that increases the experience of the Self. And brahmacharya is the essence of the living body. The presence of brahmacharya in the mind, the body and the speech results in wonderful power of mind, wonderful power of body and wonderful power of the speech. What type of sexuality existed in the times of Lord Mahavir? The sex was limited to having one to two children. The Lord knew that this interaction would be abused in this day and age, so he had to add the fifth vow of brahmacharya. A gentleman once told me that he misses his wife when he is at work. You fool! Would you lick pus off her hand, if she developed an abscess? Then, why are you so fascinated by a woman? This whole body is full of pus. Have you ever thought about what this body is made of? The amount of love a hog has for a sow is greater than the amount of love a man has for his wife. Can you call this love? This is nothing but beastliness. True love is that which never increases or decreases. All this is nothing but infatuation. Man has the wrong belief that pleasure exists in sex. Now, if you experience greater happiness and pleasure in something other than sex, then you would not seek pleasure in sex. There is no happiness in sex but there is no other option for the humans in worldly interactions. Otherwise who would knowingly open the lid of a gutter? If there were happiness in sex, Chakravatis (kings of continents) with so many queens, would not have set out in search of real happiness. To practice brahmacharya'. And you have to get rid of the slightest thought of sex as soon as it arises. If not, a seed of sex will be sown. If allowed to remain, after two days it will kill you. Hence uproot such a thought and get rid of it right away. Next, make sure that you do not look with sexual thoughts at any woman. If your eyes happen to pull you towards a woman, pull them away from her. The one who definitely wants to practice brahmacharya, must first examine and severely test his control over his senses, and if he feels that he may slip, then it is better for him to get married. Even after that, it should be under control and he should alert her about his desire for exercising control. Sexuality is not poison. Fearlessness in sex is poison. There is no problem in sex if it has to be done, as a last resort, just as if a policeman were to force you to do so. It should not happen by your own choice. Do you have any choice but to sit in the jail if the policeman puts you there? Is there any escaping from there? Similarly, you do not have a choice when karma unfolds its account and the sex act in the mind, speech or body, happens. Any religion that sanctions and allows sexuality is no religion. Religion exists where there is brahmacharya. No matter to what little extent religion is present, it must be free from all elements of sexuality. By not getting involved in the sexual act, one may become uneasy and unsettled for a month or two. However loss of familiarity is the key. With the loss of familiarity one will forget sexuality totally. It is not possible for a person enjoying sex to get rid of the desire for it. Hence, research of the scriptures done by people in our country, has led to the discovery that the path of brahmacharya is the best. The best cure is to become unfamiliar with sex. Once you stay away from sex for one or two years, then you forget all about it. That is the nature of the mind. If it goes near it, it will become restless. The mind has been separated from its familiarity. If ‘You’ (the Self) remain separate from it, then the mind stays away from it and therefore it will forget it forever. It will never remember it again. It will not go there even if you want it to. Do you understand that? It is like if you stayed away from your friend for two years then your mind will forget him. Diet plays a prominent part in keeping up Brahmacharya. Purity of food brings in purity of mind. That power which connects the body and the mind is present in the food that we take. Various kinds of food have varying effects on the mind. There are certain kinds of food that make the mind and the body very strong and steady. So it is absolutely essential that we should take pure and Sattvic food. Food has a very close connection with Brahmacharya. If proper attention is given to the purity of the food that we take, Brahmacharya becomes quite easy. The influence of foodstuffs on the brain cells, emotion and passion is remarkable. There are different compartments in the brain and each food produces its own effect on each compartment and on the general system. A confection of sparrow produces an aphrodisiac effect. It directly stimulates the reproductive organs. Garlic, onions, meat, fish and eggs stimulate passion. Mark how elephants and cows that live on grass are quiet and peaceful and how tigers and other carnivorous animals that live on meat are turbulent and ferocious. Instinct or the voice from within will guide you in the selection of articles of diet that are conducive to the keeping up of Brahmacharya. You can also consult some elderly and experienced persons. Foods to Eat Cheru, Havis Annam, milk, wheat, barley, bread, ghee, butter, dried ginger, green gram, potatoes, dates, plantains, curd, almonds and fruits are all Sattvic articles of food. Cheru is a mixture of boiled white rice, ghee, white sugar and milk. Havis Annam is also a similar preparation. This is very useful for spiritual aspirants. Milk is a perfect food by itself, containing as it does, the different nutritive constituents in a well balanced proportion. This is an ideal food for Yogins and Brahmacharins. Fruits are great energy producers. Bananas, grapes, sweet oranges, apples, pomegranates and mangoes are wholesome and nutritious. Dry fruits such as grapes, raisins, dates and figs, sweet fresh fruits such as bananas, mangoes, Sapotas, melons, limes, pineapples, apples, wood apples and sweet pomegranates, sugar and sugar-candy, honey, sago, arrowroot, milk, butter and ghee of cows, tender coconut water, coconut, almonds, pistachio nuts, Toor Dhal, Ragi, barley, maize, wheat, rice of red paddy whose bran is only partly removed and rice of good smell or sweet taste, and all preparations from any of these grains, and white pumpkin are Sattvic articles for keeping up Brahmacharya. Forbidden food Highly seasoned dishes, hot curries, Chutnies, chillies, meat, fish, eggs, tobacco, liquor, sour articles, oil of all kinds, garlic, onions, bitter things, sour curd, stale food, acids, astringents, pungent stuffs, roasted things, over-ripe and unripe fruits, heavy vegetables and salt are not at all beneficial. Onions and garlic are worse than meat. Salt is the worst enemy. Too much salt excites passion. Even if you do not take salt separately, the system will derive the necessary quantity of salt from other foodstuffs. All foodstuffs contain salt. Giving up of salt helps you in controlling the tongue and thereby the mind and all the other Indriyas. All kinds of peas and beans, both fresh and fried, black grain, Bengal gram, horse gram, sprouted grains, mustard, all sorts of chillies, asafoetida, lentils, brinjals, lady’s finger, cucumbers, Malabar nightshades, both white and red, bamboo shoots, papaw fruit, drumsticks, all varieties of gourd such as white gourd, snake gourd and squash gourd, radish, leeks, mushrooms of all kinds, things fried in oil or ghee, pickles of all sorts, fried rice, sesame seeds, tea, coffee, cocoa, all kinds of vegetables, leaves, roots, fruits and foodstuffs that create wind or indigestion, grief, pain or costiveness or other sickness, pastry preparations, foods that are dry and burning, foods that are bitter, sour, saline, over-hot and pungent, tobacco and its preparations, foods and drinks containing liquor or narcotic drugs such as opium and bhang, food preparations which are stale or have become cold subsequent to their removal from the hearth or which have lost their natural taste, smell, colour or form, or which are remnants after being eaten away by other persons, animals, birds or insects, or which contain dust, hair, straw or other rubbish, and milk of buffalo, goat or sheep should be avoided as they are either Rajasic or Tamasic by nature. Lemon juice, rock salt, ginger and white pepper can be used in moderation. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fasting controls passion. Fasting destroys sexual excitement. It calms the emotions. It controls the Indriyas also. Passionate young men and ladies should take recourse to occasional fasting. It will prove highly beneficial. Fasting is a great Tapas. It purifies the mind. It destroys a great multitude of sins.Fasting controls particularly the tongue, which is your deadly enemy. When you fast, do not allow the mind to think of delicious dishes, because then you will not derive much benefit. Fasting overhauls the respiratory, circulatory, digestive and urinary systems. It destroys all the impurities of the body and all sorts of poisons. It eliminates uric acid deposits. Just as impure gold is rendered pure by melting it in the crucible again and again, so also, the impure mind is rendered purer and purer by fasting again and again. Young, robust Brahmacharins should observe fasting whenever passion troubles them. You will have very good meditation during fasting, as the mind is calm. The chief object in fasting is to practice Dhyana rigorously during that period as all the Indriyas/senses are calm. During fasting, the internal digestive organs such as the stomach, the liver and the pancreas take rest. Epicureans, gluttons and those who are tireless eaters do not allow rest for these organs even for a few minutes. Hence, these organs get diseased soon. Diabetes, albuminuria, dyspepsia and hepatitis are all due to overfeeding. After all, man wants very little on this earth. Ninety per cent of the people in this world take more food than what is absolutely necessary for the body. Overeating has become their habit. All diseases take their origin in overeating. An occasional complete fast is a great desideratum for all to keep up good health, relieve the internal organs and maintain Brahmacharya. Diseases that are pronounced incurable by allopaths and homoeopaths are cured by fasting. Fasting develops will-power. It increases the power of endurance. Manu, the Hindu law-giver, prescribes in his code the remedy of fasting for removal of the five capital sins also . It is better to drink a large quantity of water, either tepid or cold, according to temperament and inclination, during fasting. It will flush out the kidneys and remove the poison and all sorts of impurities in the body. In Hatha Yoga it is termed as Gata-Suddhi or purification of the flesh-pot, the physical body. You can add half a teaspoonful of soda bicarbonate to the water. Those who fast for two or three days should not break their fast with any solid food. They should take some kind of fruit juice, either sweet orange juice or pomegranate juice. They should sip the juice slowly. You can take an enema daily during fasting. Fast for a day to start with. Then slowly increase the number of days according to your strength and capacity. In the beginning you may feel a slight weakness. The first day may be very tiring. You will feel real Ananda, bliss, on the second or the third day. The body will be very, very light. You can turn out more mental work during fasting. Those who are in the habit of fasting will rejoice. On the first day, the mind will tempt you in a variety of ways to eat something or the other. Stand firm. Be bold. Curb the mind at once when it hisses or raises its hood . ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________ WET DREAMS AND SPERMATORRHOEA Many young men are troubled by wet dreams or nocturnal emissions and spermatorrhoea. This dire disease, spermatorrhoea, has eaten away the very core of the heart of many brilliant youth, who were once very promising students during the beginning stages of their educational career. This terrible scourge has sapped the vitality or the very essence of many students and even grown-up people and has made them physical, moral and spiritual bankrupts. This deadly curse has stunted the growth of many young people and made them bemoan their past ignorant, vicious habits. This wretched malady has blighted the hopes of many a young person and brought despair, gloom, shattered health and dilapidated constitution. I receive numerous letters of pathetic tales of dissipated, lost youth. The recent trend in the increase of vulgar, cheap and aphrodisiac literature and obscene films, both Indian and Western, had added to the miseries of misguided youth. Loss of the vital energy creates great fear in their mind. The body becomes weak, memory fails, the face becomes ugly and the young man is not able to remedy his pitiable condition due to shame. Spermatorrhoea is involuntary seminal discharge. Nocturnal discharge, night pollution, Svapna- Dosha, wet dream are all synonymous terms. Ayurvedic doctors call this disease Sukra-Megha. This is due to the evil habits in youth. In severe cases, discharges occur in daytime also. The patient passes semen along with urine during micturition. If there is occasional discharge, you need not be alarmed a bit. This may be due to heat in the body, or the pressure of loaded bowels or bladder on the seminal bags. This is not a pathological condition. Night pollution is of two kinds, namely, physiological pollution and pathological pollution. In physiological pollution, you will be refreshed. You should not be afraid of this act. You should not mind if the discharge of semen is very occasional. You need not worry about it. This is also a slight flushing of the apparatus or a periodical cleansing through a slight overflow from the reservoir in which the semen is stored up. This act may not be attended with evil thoughts. The person may not be aware of the act during the night. Whereas, in pathological pollution, the act is accompanied by sexual thoughts. Depression follows. There is irritability, languishment, laziness, inability to work and concentrate. Occasional discharges are of no consequence, but frequent nocturnal pollutions cause depression of spirits, debility, dyspepsia, low spirits, loss of memory, severe pain in the back, headache, burning of the eyes, drowsiness and burning sensation at urination or during the flow of semen. The semen becomes very thin. Wet dreams and spermatorrhoea may be due to various causes like constipation, a loaded stomach, irritation-producing or wind-producing food, impure thoughts and long self-abuse done in ignorance. Seminal weakness, nocturnal emissions, lascivious dreams and all other effects of an immoral life will surely lead one to a miserable state of living if not checked by proper medicines. But these medicines cannot produce a permanent cure. One can get temporary relief during the time one takes the medicine. Even doctors of the West admit that such medicines cannot effect a permanent cure. The moment the medicine is discontinued, the patient will find his disease all the worse. In some cases, the patient becomes impotent by the use of drugs. The only effective permanent cure can be had through the system of ancient Yoga. Nasti Yogat Param Balam. There is no strength higher than that of Yoga. Do not be carried away by the pompous advertisements made by quacks and charlatans. Lead a simple natural life. You will become all right soon. Do not spend any money in buying the so-called patent medicines and specifics. They are worthless. Quacks try to exploit the credulous and the ignorant. Do not go to the doctors. Endeavour to qualify yourself as your own doctor. Understand the laws of nature, the principles of hygiene and health. Do not tresspass against the laws of health. Will post 10-20 such posts again . In last 1year , i have researched extensively on semen retention . Let me know what you think about this post . Till then . NIkhil Singh
You can find a complete guide to identify the type of issue(s) you're experiencing with hair removal here bu you're most likely dealing with the following issues:
Ingrown hair. If you have thick, curly hair what often happens is your hair has a difficult time growing back out of the follicle after you shave. Instead, it wants to curl in on itself under the skin while the skin keeps growing over it. This gives you dark, discolored dots and bumps all over your skin called strawberry legs.
Rashes. This is a skin irritation that occurs and causes an itching and burning sensation and may show up as a bright red rash. This can be caused by using a dull blade, bacteria from your razor, soap that's drying out your skin, not using enough moisture when you shave, shaving too aggressively, having ingrown hair, or just having sensitive skin.
Note: If you have dark hair, shave, and don't have bumps, the discoloration is likely caused from the root of the hair showing under the skin because your hair is dark. Waxing will help because it pulls the hair out from the root.
Step 1: Freeing the Hair
There are two main layers of skin. The top layer is made up of old, dead skin cells, while the bottom layer is newly formed skin cells. After you removed hair in the past, the bottom layer of skin started to build up over the new hair growth coming in trapping the hair follicles inside. Your legs will look like this as a result: https://preview.redd.it/4agk7p77x9o31.jpg?width=960&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65d1a9ab6f2da5c3fe4f275b00a88875ed18d2ef If you took tweezers to those spots, you'd likely pull up a strand of hair that's been curling in on itself. But don't do this. It will damage your skin and can cause bacterial infections, scarring, and what will likely happen is the skin will just grow back over the area again. If your legs look like the picture above, the first step is to get rid of the layer of skin on top of the hair so you can start fresh. You can't do this over night or you'll damage your skin. This is a process that takes time, especially if this issue has been happening for a while. The first product you need is Ingrown Go. Ingrown Go works like those exfoliating foot masks by drying out the outer layer of skin so it starts to peel like so: https://preview.redd.it/ynb1fu88x9o31.png?width=512&format=png&auto=webp&s=d659db4abf0284fb04ce6ae52afd2c5a9ff2fe57 You'll need to apply a lot of this and with gloves so your hands don't start to peel. As your skin starts to peel, use a gentle body scrub and washcloth (korean exfoliating bath washclothes are great) to get rid of the dead skin. Then, for hair that's still trapped use the exfoliating brush. Beware of scrubbing too hard or exfoliating too much (don't exfoliate more than once every 3 days) as this will exacerbate the issue by irritating the skin and causing microscopic cuts and discolored scarring. Usually it takes about 1-2 weeks of using this product morning and night to free the majority of the hair depending on the severity. After this, you no longer need to use the product regularly. It'll dry out your skin. Instead, you your focus needs to be on keeping your skin hydrated and getting rid of dead skin as mentioned under Step 2.
Step 2: Lotion the fuck outta your legs daily and exfoliate weekly
After this process, your skin will be super dry. It's important to keep the skin moist and pliant so that hair can easily grow up through the follicle instead of becoming trapped again. I personally love Vaseline's Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion with pure cocoa butter. It delivers an insane amount of moisture to your body without being greasy unless you use too much. Try to lotion your legs at least once a day. This is the most important step and I can't stress enough how important it is to avoid hair getting trapped under your skin. Another product I really like is Benton's Snail Bee High Content Skin Essence. It's a Korean skincare product for your face but it's insanely effective at softening your skin, especially if you have some stubborn spots that hair doesn't seem to want grow up through and keep having to use Ingrow Go on. In addition to lotioning, you'll want to exfoliate. Dry brush your legs at least twice a week with the exfoliating brush. And exfoliate with a body scrub at least once a week to get rid of dead skin you might have missed while bathing. Be careful not to over-exfoliate because it aggravates the area causing more ingrown hair.
Step 3: Hair Removal
Before removing any hair, exfoliate your skin the night before. This removes dirt, oil, and dead skin which helps prevent bacterial infection, unclogs your pores as well as lifts the hairs so you're tugging on them less which gives you a closer shave and irritates the follicle less. Which Is Better: Shaving or Waxing? There's no right answer. Everyone's body is different and both can cause issues. When you shave, you create sharp edges at the end of the hair strand that makes it more likely to curl into the skin. However, while waxing completely removes the hair from the follicle, you can't guarantee that it won't curl back under the skin when it grows back. I've personally had less issues with waxing and prefer waxing as it lasts longer, I have dark hair that shows up under the surface of my skin, and I tend to get less ingrown hair from waxing. Shaving When you removed hair in the past, you were likely pulling up skin in the process causing razor burn and for new skin to grow up over the damaged area. So, it's important to create a barrier between your skin and the hair removal tool. Odds are shaving foam won't be enough of a barrier for you if you've experienced these issues. You need something thicc. Shaving lotions are an option but what I've found works best for me is hair conditioner or lotion. The latter tends to gunk up your razor but usually leaves your legs feeling better. Be generous. Razor burn and razor bumps occur when you've improperly prepared your skin for a shave and irritate the newly formed skin. The kind of razor you decide to use is up to you. For some people with sensitive skin, it helps to use one blade to avoid irritating the skin. For others, a men's multi-blade razor gives a better shave because it gets closer to the skin and drags on the hair less. Never use a dull razor if you're experiencing ingrown hair. This will drag on the skin and pull at the hair damaging the skin around the follicle and and make it grow up over the follicle again. Pro-Tip: It's usually a good idea to change your razor weekly. To clean/preserve your razor blades and prevent rust, coat the blade with an oil after you use it like olive oil, baby oil, or vegetable oil. Waxing As mentioned under shaving, when you removed hair in the past, you were likely pulling up skin in the process causing razor burn and for new skin to grow up over the damaged area. So, it's important to create a barrier between your skin and the hair removal tool. Use cornstarch, baby powder, or a makeup powder so the wax only sticks to the hair, not your skin. Veet legs and body wax strips sensitive formula are great for beginners to see if waxing is the right choice for you. Also make sure you're following the natural path your hair grows in just like shaving. Pro-Tip: Aloe Vera oil will help sooth the skin after waxing. Aftercare Thoroughly lotion your legs every day after shaving. Remember, the goal is to provide as much moisture possible so the hair can come back up through the follicle when it finally comes back up instead of getting trapped.
Step 3: Getting Rid of Discoloration
If you've had a lot of ingrown hair in the past, odds are there will be some scarring and often the scars leave behind hyper pigmentation. Self tanning lotions and whitening lotions can help to reduce the appearance of these scars . Even if you have dark skin, Jergen's Natural Glow Moisturizer works great at evening out the color of your skin and has a really natural color. Avoid your knees when applying this lotion. Make sure to use gloves when applying this product so you don't discolor your hands.

Stock up on the best foods for healthy skin and hair. The secret to gorgeous hair and glowing skin isn’t hiding in your medicine cabinet—it’s in your kitchen. The Top 16 Superfoods for Gorgeous Skin and Hair
1. Blueberries
This low-profile berry was ranked number one in antioxidant activity by the U.S. Department of Agriculture compared to 40 common fruits and vegetables. Additionally, berries are packed with vitamin C, which helps produce skin that’s firm and strong. Also known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is a nutrient that’s essential to the production of collagen, a protein that aids in the growth of cells and blood vessels. The antioxidants in blueberries protect you from premature aging, so add half a cup of this top food for healthy skin and hair to your yogurt or cereal every day.
2. Wild Salmon
Wild salmon—not farm-raised—is one of the best food sources for omega-3 fatty acids, which helps keep your skin supple and moisturized. Salmon also has selenium, a mineral that protects the skin from sun exposure. The vitamin D in salmon keeps your bones and teeth strong and healthy, too. Try it grilled, baked, in your pasta, with a salad, in sushi.
3. Spinach
This leafy green vegetable is rich in nutrients and antioxidants. Spinach is loaded with lutein, which keeps your eyes healthy and sparkling. Popeye’s favorite snack is also a good source of vitamins B, C, and E, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, and omega-3 fatty acids. Trade lettuce for spinach, or saute spinach for a quick, healthy side of this best food for healthy skin and hair.
4. Oysters
The jury’s still out on whether oysters are really aphrodisiacs, but they are a good source of zinc, which aids in skin cell renewal and repair. Zinc also keeps your nails, hair, and eyes healthy. Who needs an aphrodisiac when you look and feel beautiful while snacking on a treat that tastes fresh like the sea?
5. Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the best source of the anti-aging antioxidant lycopene. Surprisingly, lycopene in tomatoes is more easily absorbed by your body when it is cooked or processed, so make sure to stock up on canned tomato sauce, tomato juice, and ketchup to get the biggest beauty benefits from this food for healthy skin and hair.
6. Walnuts
You don’t need to eat cupfuls of walnuts to enjoy their many benefits: smoother skin, healthy hair, brighter eyes, and strong bones. Get your daily dose of nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E by eating a handful by themselves or throwing some in your salad, pasta, or dessert.
7. Kiwis
This small, brown, fuzzy fruit is loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, which keep skin firm, help prevent wrinkles, and are great for healthy bones and teeth. The antioxidants in kiwis also protect you from cancer and heart disease. Slice and serve as a side to your lunch sandwich, fold diced kiwi into a cup of yogurt come snacktime, or try a fresh kiwi recipes any time of day.
8. Dark Chocolate
We won’t judge you if you keep a secret stash of chocolate in your purse or desk…or both. In fact, we recommend you do. Chocolate contains anti-aging antioxidants called flavonoids, which fight free radicals to protect your skin from UV damage and help prevent the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and skin discolorations. A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that participants who consumed a chocolate beverage high in flavonols (think dark chocolate—the higher the cocoa content the higher the health benefits) experienced improved skin texture and hydration, less sensitivity to the sun, and had 25 percent less skin redness in response to UV light exposure. Try an ounce a day as dessert.
9. Yogurt
One cup of low-fat yogurt has more calcium than a cup of fat-free milk, which is great for your posture, nails, and teeth. Greek yogurt, in particular, is packed with calcium and protein to help maintain those beautiful teeth (everyone loves a gorgeous grin). This best food for healthy skin and hair also contains natural live active cultures or “good” bacteria that aid in digestion, help boost immunity, and tame the effects of lactose intolerance, leading to a flat and “happy” belly. Mix it with fruit or granola for a healthy breakfast or that essential midafternoon snack.
10. Sweet Potatoes
You should be eating this superfood more often than just at Thanksgiving. Sweet potatoes can help boost immunity and promote glowing, gorgeous skin. Full of beta-carotene, sweet potatoes can help maintain bright, healthy eyes and protect your beautiful skin from UV exposure. The orange root veggies are also bursting with Vitamins A, C, and E, which can help improve the look of your hair and skin. Enjoy the nutritious spuds steamed, baked, sautéed, or roasted into sweet potato fries.
11. Avocados
Rich, creamy, and packed with good-for-you monounsaturated fats, avocados are one of the all-time best foods for healthy skin and hair. Key for healthy hair, skin, and nails, monounsaturated fatty acids or “good fats” can aid in lowering LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, while improving HDL (good) cholesterol levels. Avocados also contain antioxidants, fiber, potassium, magnesium, and folate; and one avocado is packed with more potassium than a medium banana—almost 900 grams! Additionally, studies show that avocados are “nutrient boosters,” meaning they aid the body in absorption of nutrients from other foods. Try slices on a sandwich or salad or mash on toast or into your favorite guacamole recipe.
12. Flaxseed Meal
Flaxseeds provide a mega boost of omega-3 fatty acids, which are necessary for optimum brain function, a healthy heart, and radiant skin. Studies show both omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in flaxseed help soothe skin conditions like acne or eczema. The anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3s can aid in lowering cholesterol and help maintain a healthy rate of skin cell renewal. Flaxseeds also contain fiber, which can reduce bloating and promote digestion. To ensure your body absorbs all these beauty-boosting benefits, consume flaxseed in ground or “meal” form—try stirring a scoop into quick bread, muffin, or pancake batter.
13. Almond Butter
A great source of satisfying fiber and protein, almond nut butter can help keep your body well-fueled and fit when incorporated into a healthy diet. This tasty spread is also packed with vitamin E, manganese, and selenium, which help keep your hair shiny. The vitamin E in almonds and almond butter can also help protect your skin from the sun’s damaging UV rays. Vitamin E and almond oil can also be used topically on the body as a beauty serum. Try the nut butter spread on apples or a slice of whole-wheat toast.
14. Kale
Kale is the trendy green of choice and it’s also one of the most nutrient-dense foods for healthy skin and hair hiding in the produce section. Kale is packed with vitamins A, B6, C, and K, manganese, fiber, and omegas. One cup of kale provides about 10 percent of the RDA of omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation in the body. With almost 200 percent of the RDA of vitamin A, one cup of kale is an effective antioxidant, boosts immunity, and maintains healthy bones and gorgeous teeth. Toss this healthy green into soups, bake it to make chips, or mix it in salads.
15. Quinoa
This tiny grain-like seed is a nutritional powerhouse. Quinoa contains large amounts of protein and all essential amino acids. The best part about this whole grain food for healthy skin and hair? You can eat it for breakfast (as a quinoa porridge with peaches and shaved coconut), lunch (with some mixed greens, shaved fennel, and a balsamic vinaigrette), or for dinner (in a quinoa lasagna)—just to name a few examples. The amino acids, vitamin B6, iron, and zinc in quinoa will help fire up immunity. Fiber will help keep you regular and moving.
16. Seaweed
Also known as “wakame” or “hijiki salad,” sea vegetables have been consumed by the Japanese—a population with one of the longest average life spans on the planet—for thousands of years. Chock-full of iron and phytonutrients, seaweed can aid circulation. Plus, nutrients in sea plants, such as iron, manganese, iodine, copper, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and selenium, can help boost reproductive health and are essential for gorgeous hair, skin, and nails. Opt for seaweed salad alongside your next order of sushi. Indian Diet Plans for Healthy Skin and Hair Everyone is pretty much aware of the Indian beauty possessed by men and women in the country.

The secret of their voluminous hair and supple skin lies not in creams and lotions, but in their diet. Indian diet includes many spices and ingredients which are very helpful and effective in maintaining healthy hair and skin. Given here is a rough outline of a diet plan that you must follow to obtain healthy hair and lovely skin.
1. Breakfast
Needless to say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day since the body is receiving food after about hours of fasting. Thus, it is important to take care of what you eat for breakfast. Include a glass of milk, cereals and a small portion of protein in your breakfast daily. Cereals can include muesli, bread, poha or cornflakes. Proteins include eggs, cheese, chicken, sprouts etc. Have a wholesome meal first thing in the morning.
2. Brunch
Sometime after breakfast but before lunch, make sure you consume one fluid and one portion of fiber. You can have buttermilk, fresh lime water, coconut water or lassi. Along with it, have at least one fruit. You can have fruit salad in case you’re really hungry.
3. Lunch
Have a complete lunch – Chapatti/Roti, vegetables, dal and dairy product. Chapatti makes up for a portion of cereal, vegetables are important in any diet, and dal (lentils) provides important proteins to the body. Dairy product, preferable curd, is very healthy for the body over all, but mostly for skin and hair.
4. Evening bites
Between lunch and dinner, do not starve your body of food. It requires the energy to perform its functions well. Thus, have a cup of tea or some milk in the evening. Also have 2 biscuits with it and drink water over it. This will make you feel full and allow the body to function optimally without any problems.
5. Dinner
If possible, finish your dinner by at the most 9 or 9:30 in the night. Any later than that, causes indigestion and thus disrupts the bodily functioning over all. Keep your dinner light but healthy. Consume cereals (roti or rice), proteins (dal, eggs, chicken or fish) and a portion of vegetables. Following this pattern of a diet will not only help you maintain healthy skin and hair, but also keep you fit and fine over all. An unhealthy eating habit dulls the skin and starves the body of nutrients it requires to keep the hair healthy. Thus, following a nutrition-packed diet regime can go a long way in keeping your skin naturally glowing, soft and beautiful, while your hair will remain strong, luscious and voluminous.

Cocoa butter helps to improve the softness of the scalp.
