Natural Lip Gloss
Natural lip gloss uses plant- and mineral-derived ingredients to add shine and moisture. Read labels, patch-test for allergies, and pair gloss with basic lip care for best results.
Stretchmarks
Stretch marks (striae) form when deeper skin layers stretch and tear. Prevention focuses on hydration, steady weight changes, nutrition, and moisturizing. Home remedies may improve skin feel but lack strong evidence; dermatologic options like retinoids, microneedling, and lasers offer more consistent results - especially for newer marks.
Lye Soap
Lye soap is traditional soap made by saponifying fats or oils with sodium hydroxide. Properly made bars contain little to no free lye, retain glycerin, and can be customized - though handling lye requires strict safety measures. If you prefer not to work with lye, use melt-and-pour bases or buy from reputable makers.
Foods To Avoid With High Cholesterol
To lower LDL cholesterol, limit saturated fats, trans fats, fried foods, and high-fat dairy. Choose vegetables, whole grains, legumes, nuts, fatty fish, and unsaturated oils. Combine diet with exercise and medical guidance.
