Very important📢📢📢📢📢:

Good morning family, Happy weekend to us all. Ever noticed this on your neck?

This is a bit common and noticed more amongst women. It can be a sign of a serious health issue or a not too serious issue. They both have remedy but we should know when to act😇

Dark lines on the neck
Is a condition caused by "acanthosis nigricans".A skin condition often signaling an underlying health issue such as insulin resistance or other less serious issues.

Causes of black lines on neck
1. Insulin resistance /diabetes: excess insulin in the blood can cause skin cells to overgrown and also excess melanin production. This appears as thick,dark patches on the neck. It is a common early sign of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
2. Hormonal imbalance: conditions such as PMOS( polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome) formally PCOS can lead to shifts in hormone levels thereby causing this neck pigmentation.
3. "Teck neck"/friction: repeatedly looking down at a phone can cause horizontal skin crease to deepen( wahala cos we're many on this table oo). Constant friction from clothes collar, jewelry or skin folds rubbing can cause neck skin to darken.
4. Certain medications : some drugs like oral contraceptives, cholesterol control medication (e.g nicotinic acid) and growth hormones also cause dark lines on neck.

Remedy for dark lines on neck
The best remedy is to treat the root causes. However the physical appearance can be worked on.
1. Aloe vera gel: apply fresh aloe gel to the spot before sleeping and wash off in the morning. Aloe vera contains aloesin which inhibits melanin production.
2. Yoghurt and tumeric paste: mix 2 spoons of plain yogurt with a pinch of turmeric powder.Add half teaspoon of lemon juice mix and apply to neck.leave on for 20minutes then wash off.
3. Potato juice and honey:mix potato juice with a small amount of honey ( I sell the best natural honey 👍). Apply to the neck, allow to dry up before rinsing out.
4. Apple cider vinegar: dilute equal parts vinegar and water.Apply gently with cotton pads.Leave for 2-3 minutes and rinse

Once you notice the lines become thicker even after cleansing.Check blood sugar levels, thyroids and adrenal glands to rule out serious conditions.

Much love 💕💕

Good morning family and happy weekend to us all 💘.
This weekend, let us take time to care for a hidden part of our body that is often neglected 😔😔.
Our teeth/mouth: this is the first point of contact for everything that we ingest/ eat or drink 🤷.
The mouth feels it first and the teeth crushes or bites the food. Hence, we need it to be in great shape.
Let us use these simple natural herbs to cleanse our mouth.Shall we🤔🤔🤔

Teeth cleansing recipes
1. Neem leaves: the stick/ twigs of Neem tree are used as chewing stick to clean the teeth. It scrapes away debris while releasing natural compounds that stimulates saliva production and inhibit mouth bacteria.
2. Thyme leaves: contains thymol, a powerful compound that stops oral pathogens from growing. It fights bacteria that cause cavities, gingivitis and bad breath. It can also be used to stop bad breath.
3. Cloves: contains eugenol, a natural anesthetic and anti inflammatory herb that cures toothache.
4. Turmeric: contains cur cumin which reduces gum inflammation and helps control build up of plaques.
5. Traditional chewing stick: yes, they contain natural flouride, silica and antimicrobial compounds that actively cleans the teeth. And a sure way to exercise our jaws 👌🏽.
For the lips, Use a sugar-based lip scrub to exfoliate the lips and make it retain its succulent texture.Very necessary for other activities 😹. You gerrit
You could also apply lip balm or Shea butter to keep your lips moist.
