Over the years women have been trying various beauty products to attain that perfect look. In the process, the skin gets exposed to various chemicals that can lead to problems. Hormonal changes or allergies are other causes for skin problems. In order to hide the embarrassment many women try to cover up those personal beauty problems. But the queries still remain unanswered as to what went wrong. Let’s take a closer look at such problems and their solution.
1. Why do I have a unibrow?
Many women have excess hair on their upper lip, chin, and area between the eyebrows and it remains no secret. Many times it happens due to some medical condition like poly-cystic ovary syndrome. It can also be due to genetics. Use of depilatory cream, plucking or waxing can also help regulate the growth of such facial hair. Electrolysis and laser are for permanent removal.
2. Does anything banish cellulite?
Every woman wants to have an extremely toned and shapely figure. Unfortunately there is a type of fat called cellulite which can create the skin to get dimpled and wrinkled on the thighs, hips and buttocks. Exercising can help to lose that excess fat. There are also cellulite creams but doctors advise to avoid using them as those offer only short term solutions.
3. Why Do I Blush So Often?
Many people blush when they feel embarrassed or shy. But sometimes patches of redness appear on the chin, forehead or the cheek. In that case, it is due to rosacea.
