By
Now, the Neem tree is so common  in Gh. I know some of its medicinal uses include fighting malaria and typhoid.


A simple way to use the leaves on your hair is to:
A.
  1. Boil some leaves of neem in a cup of water for 5-6 minutes.
  2. Let it cool and store in a bottle.
  3. Wash your hair with this water to fight against infections and dandruff.
B.
Dry neem powder can be mixed with water to make a thick paste to massage onto the scalp. This grainy paste helps to exfoliate, cleanse and nourish the scalp. Leave the paste on the scalp and hair for about 30 minutes before shampooing and rinsing out.

C.
You can also add neem powder to your regular shampoo or conditioner for a quick treatment every time you wash your hair.

For Head Lice
Grind neem leaves and boil in water. wash hair with this water to kill lice.
Grind the neem berry and apply on the head. It kills lice.

Caution
Take care to see that the neem water does not enter the eyes.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

By
The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts.  When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up  can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.  (check shop.ghanaianemprezz.com for all skin care products)
