4 temporary fixes for your problems

Here are quick, temporary solutions for 4 of your problems that tend to drive you mad when are in a hurry.

Camouflage unwanted hair

You’ve got an evening out program and no time to get your face bleached to camouflage that tiny hair growth on your face. Don’t worry! Cut a thin slice of lemon; rub it gently over the area where you have hair, i.e. upper lip, forehead, jaw line and sideburns. The lemon will lighten the hair color and make it less visible.

Tame unruly eyebrows

When you have no time to attend to your highly unmanageable, unruly eyebrows, spritz a little hairspray on a cotton ball. Then wipe on for maximum control.


Excessive sweating palms

You are to give a speech and your nervous system is already revved up. Your palms have already started sweating profusely in anticipation of confronting a crowd. You obviously want to conceal your panic and put on a brave front, especially, as you haantiperspirantve to shake hands with too many people before the event. Not to worry. Try this solution. Apply an antiperspirant on your palms before any big moment which almost sucks the life out of you. The aluminium chloride in antiperspirant thickens the sweat pouring out of the sweat ducts and plugs them up with thousands of gooey corks; it’s a temporary fix, though.

Avoid dragon breath

You are savoring scrumptious and spicy dishes with plenty of garlic for lunch totally unmindful of the aftermath. You suddenly remember that you have to attend an important meeting within no time and here you are saddled with a vampire breath – all of your own doing. What to do? Just dip a lemon quarter in a pinch of salt and chew on it. The lemon oil and salt will help break down the odor causing compounds in garlic.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years. Experts opine that during sleep as our metabolic rate falls, blood goes to those areas which need the most repairing. This also steps up the production of collagen and keratin, which aid the regeneration of skin cells and help resist premature ageing. So for a younger looking and a problem free skin you need to have a good quality of sleep every night.
