It’s Sunday, and staying at home might not be a good idea as most of the friends on my MSN are not online. I’m getting a bit bored because I don’t have anyone to Chat with.
Too bad I’m not single anymore. If not, I will be joining sites like Friendsation to get to know some singles who are as bored as me and enjoy some Live Chat. Who knows? We might ended up in dating! You can also check out the blogs written by the members and if you are staying in US, the live Phone Chat with the members of your nation is free.
Come to think of it, I am not in the mood of chatting with anyone now. I think I will just do some knitting to spend my day.
This post is brought to you by Friendsation.
Let’s admit it, most of us want to be attractive. Even if we may not born with the prettiest features and well proportion bodies, we will do our best to look great. But if you are a pretty woman, sometimes things are not always going your way. Most people have this stereotyped opinion that a pretty girl is less than being brainy. I know there are some gorgeous young women like Lindsay Lohan who’s pretty but stupid enough to get herself into all sorts of troubles and drug rehab, but there are also other beautiful and brainy woman like Natalie Portman, whom I like a lot!
But how often do you see a beautiful and brainy girl around you? I think I know less than 5.
For the past few days, I have been suffering from severe chapping lips again. Since I have tried lots of lip gloss and lip balms, I think it’s not about the products anymore but something to do with internal factor. I Google for more information about chapped lips and this is what I found from Ultimate-Cosmetics.
Causes of chapped lips
They are the result of our lips being too dry. Chapped lips occur if our skin has lost its moisture retention capacity. As a consequence, our lips become easily chapped. The chapping further reduces the moisture retention capacity and this vicious circle results in the problem becoming chronic and increasingly severe. Some causes of chapped lips maybe:
- The natural oils in the skin is often lessened by exposure to sun, cold, wind and dry air.
- Repeatedly wetting the lips without protecting them first.
- A lack of essential fatty acids and/or B vitamins, poor diet and dehydration.
- A person is allergic to lipstick dyes.
I haven’t been sleeping much for the past week so I know that I am dehydrated and my body is sending some alarming signs. Furthermore, I didn’t take my B complex supplement since I’m out of it. So, I have to start taking good care of myself before my lips get worse.
On top of that, I have been using a lot of lip balm but it’s not working, and now I found the root cause too.
A good remedy for chapped lips: Crack open a Vitamin E gel capsule and rub the gel on your lips.
Castor Oil for Chapped Lips
First, chuck your Chapstick. Conventional lip balms contain petroleum and sometimes alcohol, both of which dry the sensitive skin on your lips. Instead, moisturize and protect your parched, peeling lips with castor oil. Carry a small squeeze bottle of the oil and apply it with your finger often throughout the day. If you plan to be out in the sun, use a natural petroleum- and alcohol-free balm with an SPF of 15 a few minutes after rubbing in the castor oil.
So, now I got it! I have to check the ingredients of the lip products! But where I can get castor oil?
