Most skin bleaching creams contain the drug hydroquinone as the active ingredient. You can purchase varieties which contain two percent or less of this drug at your local drugstore, while you need a prescription to get more powerful creams. These have between four to six percent hydroquinone. Use as directed on the package or by your doctor. This generally means applying it no more than twice daily. As with any other drug, hydroquinone has its risks. They include:  Premature aging Increased risk of skin cancer. The reason for this is that skin treated with hydroquinone is more sensitive to sunlight. Skin discoloration Allergic reaction A chemical peel is a procedure in which chemicals are applied to the skin, usually the face, which cause the skin to exfoliate and peel away. Depending on how deeply into the skin they penetrate, chemical peels come in three varieties: superficial, medium, and deep.  Superficial peels use alpha-hydroxy acid  and only penetrate the outer layer of the skin. Choose this method if the skin discoloration you are trying to address is minor. Recovery time is a day or so. Medium peels use glycolic or trichloracetic acid and penetrate the outer and middle layers of the skin. They are suitable for moderate skin discoloration. Because  medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, it can take 14 days to heal after a treatment. Deep peels are the most invasive and as such, are suitable for the most extreme cases of skin discoloration. Deep peels use trichloracetic acid or phenol, which deeply penetrate into middle layer of the skin. Because of this, they can only be performed once in a person's lifetime. Healing time is the most extensive: 14 to 21 days. Regardless of the type of peel, there are risks. They include scarring and the reactivation of cold sores Laser skin resurfacing works by targeting and destroying the unwanted skin cells with high energy light. The body then generates new skin cells and increases its production of collagen, one of the building blocks for great skin. It does this without damaging the top layer of the skin, which means that there is no downtime. The recommended treatment schedule is six cycles over a two week period. You'll see noticeable results after every treatment, which continue to improve over time.  q-Switch refers to this laser's ability to operate at two wavelengths: 1064 nm, or infrared, and 532 nm. The Nd:YAG refers to the laser's crystal structure, which is  neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet. Minor side-effects such as some skin redness can occur, but this usually resolves within 30 minutes of the procedure.

summary: Use a skin bleaching cream. Consider a chemical peel. Try laser skin resurfacing with the q-switch nd:YAG laser.

This design of beaded ring is ideal for displaying a lovely centerpiece, like a lampwork bead, tablet or tube bead, or other kinds of glass bead. Choose your elastic so that it fits your centerpiece, and along with the centerpiece and elastic, also be sure you have:  Bead stringing elastic (6-8 in (15 - 20 cm)) Centerpiece bead Scissors Sterling silver "daisy" spacers (about 40) Sterling silver bead caps (2) Sterling silver round beads (3; size 4 mm) Wire needle Having your beads separated into containers can decrease the time you spend hunting for your next bead and prevent irritating spills. Take a moment and, depending on your supplies, use a small container to hold and divide your beads by type.  If you bought in bulk, a tupperware container is a great option for bead storage. Ramekins and smaller sized, wide mouthed cups work well for smaller amounts of beads. Using a wire needle will make it easier for you to thread your beads onto your elastic, and will also give you something to hold on to, making dropped thread and beads less likely. To thread your needle:  Hold your thread firmly between your forefinger and thumb as close to its end as possible. Take your needle with your free hand and push its eye onto the thread until it is threaded. Bead caps on either side of your centerpiece will create a lovely, professional looking setting. Your first "bead," after your centerpiece, should be your cap followed immediately by a silver bead. Then add daisy spacers until you have reached about halfway around the band of your ring.  You can check to see if you've reached the halfway point by holding your centerpiece on the top of your finger and drawing the band around your finger. If the band reaches halfway around your finger, you're ready to move on. Be sure you have a firm hold of the end of your string when measuring. Beads can easily fall off. Mark the halfway point with a silver bead and then continue threading your daisy spacers onto your line. The number of daisy spacers you use should be the same to create a symmetrical, polished appearance.  As you add more spacers, periodically check the length of the band. Hold the centerpiece to the top of your finger and use your free hand to wrap it around. Be careful to keep the end of your line firmly gripped to prevent beads from falling off. Your ring should feel snug on your finger when you have threaded your last spacer. Now that the spacers are finished, your ring is almost complete. All you need to do is thread your needle through the final silver round bead to reflect the bead on the outside of your first bead cap. Then:  Follow your bead with the ending bead cap to complete the a setting around your centerpiece. Thread your needle through your centerpiece bead. Hold your band firmly so there is no wasted excess in the band. Extra band will translate to a loose ring in the end. Secure both ends with a surgeons knot and then hide it by:  Crossing your needle over the opposite end to form a loop. Taking your needle through the loop twice. Pulling the knot tight to make it as small as possible. Wiggling the band until the knot is covered by your centerpiece.

summary: Gather your beading equipment. Arrange your supplies. Thread your needle. String your bead cap and add beads. Add another silver round bead and more daisy spacers. Thread your final round bead, bead cap, and centerpiece. Knot the band to finish your beaded ring. Finished.

Get the kind of lip gloss that comes with a wand applicator. Do not use the kind that you have to squeeze to get out. Set the wand applicator aside, preferably on a plate so that your table won't get sticky. Both cinnamon essential oil and peppermint essential oil have lip-plumping abilities. They help improve blood circulation to your lips. This may help make your lips appear fuller. Cinnamon oil can be irritating. Consider mixing a drop or two with some oil (such as olive oil) and dabbing it on your inner elbow. If it doesn't irritate your skin, you're good to go. You can also pump the wand applicator up and down in the tube a few times to mix the oil into the lip gloss.
summary: Find a tube of lip gloss. Open up the tube of lip gloss. Add 1 to 2 drops of cinnamon or peppermint essential oil. Close the tube and shake it to combine.
