BEAUTY TIPS

8 Worst Beauty Tips you Should Never Use

8 Worst Beauty Tips you Should Never Use
October 14, 20180 Comments
Every week the Internet is full of * NEW* beauty remedies , which the beauty Vloggers guarantee that they will turn our  beauty routine . Many of them are not actually doctors or dermatologists, so why trust them?

Instead if you are willing to experiment anything, at least promise to stay a lot (but very much) far from those listed below :

1.Toothpaste on the Pimples

Drying the pimples excessively with something that is not specifically designed to do it is NEVER a good idea. The toothpaste can lead to further inflammation, redness and scarring.

2. Use The Deodorant as a Primer

We have all heard of the legend that deodorant is a good foundation for makeup. It would keep the perfect make-up for hours. In reality it leaves the skin very dry and irritated. Spend some money for a REAL primer and your skin will thank you.

3. Sodium Bicarbonate on Hairs

Added to the shampoo would help keep the hair clean longer. STOP. You will make your hair dry up, causing permanent damage. To be healthy your hair needs hydration, washing away all their natural oils is not at all a good idea.

4. Lighten the skin with lemon juice


Lemon is super acid, so it can actually burn sensitive skin. Furthermore, it leaves all skin types more sensitive to UV rays, putting pigmentation at risk.

5. Add Cinnamon in the Face Mask

Perhaps the beauty vloggers have urged you to do it, but the spices can actually burn your skin and generate too much heat. Put cinnamon in biscuits, it's very good.

6. Use Hairspray to fix the make up




Hairspray is full of alcohol and chemical solutions that are not at all gentle with your skin. A bad idea. It is also super sticky and clogs the pores of the face.

7. Vaseline on Eyelashes
It is said that putting the Vaseline on the eyelashes makes them become long and full. It actually enters the pores around the eyelids, clogs them and causes eye infections. Not even.


8. Remove the black point of the nose with dental floss



It might seem like a perfect trick to get rid of blackheads, but it's also a sure way to break blood capillaries on your nose. Rejected.

7 Tropical Fruits which helps to Lose Weight

7 Tropical Fruits which helps to Lose Weight
October 13, 20180 Comments
Exotic fruit is not always a calorie-reduced food to be enjoyed without having to keep an eye on its quantity.

Let's learn together to recognize the qualities that are too energetic and those that are allied to the diet, because there are exotic fruits that are truly harmless from a caloric point of view and endowed with draining, digestive ... and  even aphrodisiac properties. Here they are:

1. Pineapple

Used in slimming and anti-cellulite diets for its strong diuretic effect, it is also recommended at the end of a meal based on meat or fish because it contains an enzyme (bromelain) that promotes protein digestion. Contains 64 calories per 100 grams.

2. Papaya

It has a green peel when it is sour, yellow if it ripens. Contains 28 calories per 100 grams. And in addition it has an enzyme (papain) that facilitates protein digestion.

3. Mango

Originally from tropical countries, it is characterized by a fresh and sweet pulp ideal to be consumed as a fruit salad or sorbet. It is worth 53 calories peretto.

4. Kiwi

The kiwi is native to New Zealand. Extremely rich in vitamin C (even beating citrus fruits), it is suitable for those suffering from stubborn constipation. Contains 44 calories per 100 grams.

5. Banana


 It is a mine of potassium and beneficial fibers that gently stimulate intestinal function. Recommended for those who sweat a lot and during the convalescence of children and the elderly, it contains 65 calories per 100 grams.

6. Babaco



 It is an exotic fruit not very well known, with a taste similar to that of papaya. Contains only 21 calories per 100 grams and contains a fair amount of potassium.

7. Granadilla (Not available in USA)

Best known as the fruit of passion, it has a sweet taste with a pleasant acidulous tip. It is excellent consumed cut into pieces and mixed with low-fat yogurt. It is worth 90 calories per 100 grams.

 To purify and lighten up:

 - Once a week consume only pineapples, for lunch and dinner, it is an excellent remedy to cleanse the body, deflate the belly and dry the swollen ankles.

 - Who suffers from stubborn constipation, but also irritable colon, should eat the mango: stimulates the intestine without too much "violence".
- A medium banana contains the same calories as a large apple, but it is much more satisfying and is a source of potassium, essential for the body's hydro-salty balance.

1. Lemon diet to lose weight and cleanse the body

Among the effective diets to lose weight, it is also important to cleanse the body, there is the lemon diet  in which of course you will make extensive use of this citrus fruit with purifying and draining properties. 

 The lemon will be used diluted in water especially in the morning to drink half an hour before breakfast, in addition to using it as a condiment for vegetables, legumes or grilled fish. 

 We talk about a shock diet that makes you lose weight in a short time but that can be followed for up to ten days: 

 Phase 1: provides a first phase of 3 days that will serve to cleanse the body, as it happens for the detox diet. 

 Phase 2: Then follows a phase of 7 days in which you follow a menu that can lose up to 3 kilos: the foods granted, in addition to the lemon, are fish, white meat, vegetables, legumes, fruit, especially red fruits and dried fruit, in particular almonds excellent as a snack.

 According to the creators of this diet, to each blood group (A, B, AB and 0), correspond certain characteristics that affect metabolism, immune system, weight, but also pathologies and predisposition to intolerances that determine which is the most right to follow by combining the right food combinations.

4 Best Supplements which is Alternate of Keto Diet - StephneyBlog

4 Best Supplements which is Alternate of Keto Diet - StephneyBlog
October 13, 20180 Comments
The ketogenic diet or keto consists of ingesting the maximum amount of proteins and healthy foods rich in fat such as fish, meat, avocado, eggs, cheese and fruits, while carbohydrates are restricted such as cereals, flours, legumes, the vegetables and the fruits. This produces a weight loss more quickly than following a habitual diet.
4-Best-Supplements-works-like-KETO-DIET
And, when you do not have enough carbohydrate reserves, the body resorts to fat reserves to generate a source of energy, which produces ketone bodies that replace sugars and glucose as the fuel source for the metabolic process.
With this diet the body undergoes a great change in a short time, since foods that are sources of vitamins and minerals are eliminated . So if you are looking for an effective and easy diet to lose weight, the Keto diet may be an option for you. Take a look at the following products with which you can get better and faster results.

1. Beta Alanine Supplements

The amino acid supplement - beta-alanine helps produce carnosine, which is a peptide molecule that helps increase pH, decrease fatigue, increase muscle mass and resistance to physical activity. It is ideal for both women and men.

When carrying out a ketogenic diet, glycogen reserves are rapidly depleted. That is why it is necessary to accelerate the production of carnosine , which dampens the sensation of burning and fatigue that occurs when performing a high-performance exercise routine.

2. Supplement with creatine  Bulk



Powdered formula with creatine, creatine which can be found in the heart, in muscle tissues and the brain. It is ideal to increase energy and endurance while training exercises are performed.



This nutritional supplement can be used together with a ketogenic diet, which is low in protein and this causes creatinine levels to travel through the body. Although these components can also be obtained through animal food sources, this supplement will help you to have it at the optimum levels.

3. Supplement with Sunergetic electrolytes

Electrolyte capsules (minerals with an electrical charge) are essential to achieve adequate hydration and balance the body's pH. They also provide a combination of magnesium, sodium, calcium, potassium. It is advisable to take them daily in the first weeks of the Keto diet accompanied by plenty of water.

Reducing carbohydrates also reduces fluids and sodium in the system, which can cause dehydration, headaches and fatigue. Therefore, it is recommended to take supplements with electrolytes that balance and help minimize the changes that the body goes through.

4. Code Age Ketone Supplement


Exogenous ketone capsules combined with adaptogenic herbs and MCTs, which provide antioxidants to aid in fat burning, increase energy levels, endurance and mental performance.

The goal of this diet is to provide a greater source of healthy fats and minimum carbohydrates. Because of this, it is important to maintain the levels of ketosis in the body, which is responsible for generating energy, especially the one that is needed before a workout.
