Enlarge Your Penis Without Using Pills, Extenders Or Pumps

Lots of guys fear penis-enlargement pills, extenders or pumps and I’m not surprised. Having tried and tested them all I find myself more scared than ever. But even I, a guy who has been trying to enlarge my penis for the best part of a decade, don’t know all of the risks involved. I’ve had lots of negative side effects and no growth so I looked for a different method to enlarge my penis, and methods that work are out there.

Click for The Natural, Real and Fast way to enlarge your Penis

In this day and age you need to protect yourself against the various lotions and potions, the contraptions and the pumps. As more are being released less are being researched, and penis-enlargement can be very beneficial; bu if done wrong it can be very dangerous. The best out there tend to venture towards the natural growth school of thought. I’m not certain if it will work for you but it definately worked for me. The best thing was that I knew I was safe – something I never knew when I had alien devices attached to my penis in one way or another.

The best thing about natural penis-enlargement products is that they look at how your penis grew during puberty and they simply replicate that. You’re restarting penis growth in a completely natural way. Because of this the penis is safe from being torn, ripped, bruised or busted by devices which claim to help. In addition, penis pills can be, scientists have found, contaminated with all sorts of dangerous substances – including E Coli, manure and lead (source: Wikipedia). With natural penis-enlargement I replicated the biochemistry in my body and after 10 weeks I began to see real growth.

Extenders can burst blood vessels, leaving you impotent, with scar tissue or Peyronie’s disease. They are considered so risky that the FDA has warned against them in a public alert. The guides that have worked best for me are those which focus on natural penis-enlargement, with proper consideration of biology. So, for growth you need oxygen, nutrients and human growth hormone: No devices, no risk! I found that of these The Penis Bible was the most effective.

Christmas for the Critters on a Conservation Holiday

It’s THAT time of year again. In the lead up to Christmas, even the sanest among us seem to go a little crazy. The crowds, the costs, the canapés and the cocktail parties… isn’t it just a little too over the top sometimes? This year, wouldn’t it be nice to eschew the traditional family fracas and head off to warmer climes where the guests around the dinner table are a little ‘wilder’ than Aunty Madge flinging off her cardie to a rousing rendition of ‘All I want for Christmas’? Taking time out to volunteer for some animal conservation work in an exotic faraway land is a novel way to spend the festive season – and a worthwhile cause to boot.

As well as enjoying some much better weather than at home, during the course of your animal conservation work you will make the acquaintance of some of the most magnificent animals in the world. You will take part in valuable research and monitoring programs; carry out practical duties in the conservation and maintenance of the animals’ habitats; and spend your days working on a wide variety of projects integral to preserving the future of these precious animals.

So, if the thought of setting off on a wildlife adventure and discovering a whole new world appeals a little more than the thought of setting off to your mum’s on Christmas day and discovering another hand-knitted sweater under the tree, then you’ve got nothing to lose! But if you DO choose to take a break and head off for some animal conservation work in the festive season, you can’t arrive empty handed. It’s Christmas after all! Before you set off, here are some ideas you might want to consider for a ‘Conservation Christmas Stocking’ for all your new friends.

Elephant Man

Well, these gentle giants are like your Uncle George – pretty much happy with anything that they can put on their head, or put in their mouth! A nice straw trilby could actually serve both needs here, but a gift basket of fruit, a long cool bucket of water and a pack of digestive biscuits will probably go down a little better! In the course of your animal conservation work you may notice the effect of the relentless African sun on your own skin, so spare a thought for the elephant and consider a couple of industrial sized bottles of shea butter body lotion too.

Monkey Boy

There is some wonderful animal conservation work going on at the Colobus Monkey Trust in Kenya, so why not spend a Christmas getting funky with a monkey? These cheeky fellows will put you in mind of your ten year old cousin who’s perfect gift is something for his room or a hip designer school bag, so this should be easy. Why not splash out on a monkey man-bag to store those bananas in as they’re swinging through the jungles; or perhaps the latest Phillip Starck banana bean-bag to relax in by the river?

Lady Leopard

Never a shrinking violet, the leopard is the designer-double of your fashion-mad sisters. Head to Sri Lanka for your animal conservation work and you will be put to work on field projects designed to gather valuable data and educate the locals in the importance of living in harmony with these unique ladies (and gentlemen!). Don’t try and fob the girls off with a fake at Christmas though, because nothing but the best will do! These ladies who lunch will adore the latest handbag (plain colours only please) to set off their fabulous furry coats, or perhaps some emerald ‘bling’ to match their gorgeous eyes.

Sporty Cheetah

Not one to make friends easily, the speedy cheetah will nonetheless win your heart if you volunteer for some animal conservation work on the Hoedspruit Cheetah Project in South Africa. Dealing with sick, orphaned and breeding cheetahs, working at Hoedspruit is a truly wild and wonderful experience. Just like your competitive older brother, the cheetah’s ideal present would be something sporty and practical. How about an up-to-the-minute stop watch or a handy digital pedometer; or for those days when the going’s been a little too tough, some meaty chews and a big jar of tiger balm?

No matter where you choose to spend your Christmas conservation holiday abroad, you can be assured that as well as making a memory you will never forget, you will be making a valuable contribution to ensuring the endangered wild animals of the world have a better chance of survival – and handing out some great gifts too!

Can I use tanning oil with lotion when swimming?

I’m very fair, tans rather slowly, but do not burn easily (I’m Asian).
I’ve been using the Banana Boat Dark Tanning Lotion SPF 4 during swimming, and have developed a light tan. However, I’m intrigued by Banana Boat’s Dark Tanning Oil. It does not contain any sunscreen so the Dark Tanning Lotion’s SPF 4 comes in. My question is: a) Does the Oil really help with getting a darker tan? b) Can I use it together with the tanning lotion when swimming? c) How should I apply it? Lotion first followed by oil or vice versa? d) Is the oil waterproof as I’ll be swimming with the oil on my body throughout my tanning session? (I appreciate a point-by-point answer so that I’m certain your answer meets my question.) Thanks in advance!

The tanning oil is not used in the water as it washes off. The Dark tanning lotion with SPF 4 blocks the UV rays for a period of time,but its effectivness fades and most be reapplied after swimming.
You need to read the directions on the containers before using and there may be a toll free number or website for more info.or to ask this question.

Acne at 30?

I can’t believe I am getting acne on my back and shoulders. I’m not a teenager, I’m pushing 30. I didn’t have acne problems when I was in my teens, but now I’ve started breaking out on my shoulders, upper back, neck and on my face as well. I shower every day and I’ve tried changing my shampoo and conditioner, washing my back after I’ve rinsed my hair, Neutrogena body wash, and I wear my hair up all the time. I’ve also tried rubbing alcohol, which kinda helped a little, and i’ve tried putting lotion on after the alcohol so that I don’t over dry it and cause it to produce more oils. For my face I’ve tried different washes, use toner every day, and proper facial moisturizer. I’ve even gone without makeup for a few days and it doesn’t help. It’s driving me nuts!!! Does anybody have any suggestions? I live alone so there isn’t really anyone around to be applying creams to my back
My two sons have had eczema so I know it’s not that.

Well first off you have nothing to be embarrassed about, this is a very common thing, i am in my third year of med school and actually have coverd alot of studies in dermatology, and im even thinking of going in that field, so i when saw your question,i thought i could help you out. It sounds to me like you are applying alot of topical solutions on your outer body parts, though there are products out there that work, almost 70% of acne on the body and face starts from within. As you get older your hormones change and your body starts producing more oils and other body chemicals that start causing blemishes, and even though you shower alot they will still overide due to the fact that it is constantly being released. But i highly recomend going to a dermatologist, they can give you non harmfull medications that can stop acne from within, before it hits your skins surface, and it is actually alot cheaper than people think, infact with all the money you spend on products, it about evens out! there are also other factors like stress and diet, but contrary to popular belief these play minor roles. I hope i could help you out, because its what i plan to do for a career, so if not let me know and i will check out mickey ds! All jokes aside, good luck , and i hope i helped.

body lotion vs body cream
body lotions vs body butter vs body cream?

so i got this marc jacobs daisy set and it included body lotion, body cream and body butter so i want to know what the REAL difference is. i already know that body lotion is the thinnest then comes body cream than body butter but does it matter when i apply it? and why does it matter how thick and thin they are??

well if you have really dry skin and are looking for a shine, body cream is the way to go. its more concentrated then the lotion and works faster.

if you have average skin and are looking for strong shine and strong scent, body lotion is the way to go. its less concentrated then body cream.

if you have normal/average skin, and just want a sheen, body butter is the way to go.

body butter doesn’t help if your skin is super dry. but if all you’re looking for is the scent, then use whatever.. body creme gives the strongest, followed by body lotion, then body butter.

the thickness and thinness only effect how good your skin absorbs it.
body creme is the thickest
followed by lotion
and though butter may seem thicker, thats only because of all the air in it, it’s the least thickest/concentrated.

but don’t mistake the body butter for the perfume butter/solid… totally different.. the perfume solid/butter is concentrated perfume. reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly strong.

Search for an outlet in your area. They always have them but the main stores aren’t carrying them right now. I was just in a bath and body works outlet and saw them there a few days ago. You could call around and have them check to see if its there.

waxing help?

okay so i just bought this sally hansen’s full body waxing kit. . it has this jar of wax that you heat up in the microwave, applicator sticks (like popsicle sticks), strips of paper to pull the wax off, and that little bottle of lotion that soothes your skin. so, it says i can use it on my armpits, but i’m having problems. it doesnt pull up all the hair in one try. what are some waxing tips with this kit? i’m also wanting to wax my arms (the hair is fairly short on my arms, ive been shaving them), bikini line, legs, and stomach, so how can i do this better?

hair has to be at least 1/4 inch or longer to grab longer but not oo long is good it is difficult to reach areas like an underarm if you choose to do so
do it in small strips.. apply the wax adhere the strip and smotth over with palm of hand on strip then you must yank it of very quickly oppsit e that arms or under arms hair growth and then obnly after all the hair is waxed off should you apply the lotion
the lotion can get in the way of waxing until you are done with that specific area… do not shave the hair on your arms youre going to have to let them grow out to a full capacity in order to wax them and also be sure you wear sunscreen after you wax as it does remove a lot of dead skin and can cause discoloration if out in the sun so wear sun screen wherever the area is you wax!!!

Indulge Yourself With Natural Spa body lotion

One of the reasons why spas or health clubs are frequented by high paying customers is the fact that they do provide great care as well as products that actually work. Wouldn’t it be great if you can have that same experience and get the results right in the comfort of your own home? Well, you can. All that you have to do is purchase the products that your favorite health club uses on you when you give them a visit.
Finding these products is not that difficult since most of these institutions carry them all year round. They have everything from bath oils, aromatic shampoos, bubble baths and the most important; they carry their own high quality natural body lotions. Mostly they come unscented and adhere to the “all natural” ingredients only.

Are Spa Lotions Really Good For You?

Yes. If they work for many clients, then they can also work for you. You just have to make sure that you are not allergic to any of these specialized solutions. Natural spa body lotions are secretly formulated by the owners. They contain rich organic materials that are antioxidant rich. Some of these organic botanicals include the following:
* Verbena Flower
* Mandarin
* Succulent Aloe Vera
* Grape seed
* Olive oil

Where To Find These Products

These products are easy to find. If your spa is selling them, you will be able to find them at the information counter. Often they have products like their natural lotions lined up on shelves behind the information counter desk. If however, they do not openly sell the products and have no fixed price for them, you can always negotiate with the people who run the place to give you a quote on the product that you like.

Storing Your Spa Grade Lotions

Spa products usually come in big containers. This is because they buy or formulate their concoctions in bulk. This may be good for you because buying in bulk will give you a considerable discount compared to buying small amounts every time. The problem is with storing the items. Of course you cannot have a pint (or more) of moisturizer sitting on your vanity, you need to break them down into smaller containers and store the rest properly. The best place to store spa products is in a cool dry place – the closet under the stairs or the basement perhaps. You can also store your products in commercially available plastic bottles, this way you do not have to deal with huge amounts at one time.

body lotions during pregnancy
Stretch marks, saggy tummy and boobs…?

Alright ladies, this is my first pregnancy and I am so terrified of these things!! My mother has crazy stretch marks from having 4 children….

If you have had stretch marks, how soon into your pregnancy did you get them? How bad were they? Have they lightened up at all? What has helped to lighten them?

If you did not get stretch marks, did you do anything to prevent them (lotion, exercise, etc.)?

Saggy tummy and boobs afterwards – is this a guarantee? Will exercise during and after pregnancy help reduce this? Is it possible to return to your pre-pregnancy body afterwards? (tight tummy/skin, perky boobs, no stretch marks, etc.)

Thanks! I’m not shallow, I’m just trying to accept/prepare for the body changes that come. I had just lost 25lbs before becoming pregnant with hard work and am wondering if it’s possible to get back to that.
I am 25 years old.

stretch marks-with my first son i put cocoa butter on everyday and only had 3 above my belly button piercing which i did not take out.

Boob’s-before pregnancy i was a 34dd and during i went to 34e after i had my son my boobs went to a 32b with in 7 weeks of having him and it left very stretched marked and very very saggy.
3 years on they was only just begining to kind of perk back up when ive gone and got pregnant again so im just praying for better end results this time round.Ive gone from 32b to a 32e so im hoping they will only drop to a c or d after birth.

Saggy belly-no my belly went back flat but has never had much muscle tone since giving birth to my son though.

what is the best type and brand of body lotion for dry skin?

help! i can’t seem to get rid of my dry skin!

the important thing is to AVOID mineral oil and to avoid animal products in your ingredients…. i use ARBONNE … and i am not selling you the product but they are really amazing… i entered this site: http://arbonnepuertorico.myarbonne.com and read all about them and asked for some samples …. and my face skin is extreamly oily but my body (knees, feet, elbows) are really dry… so i used their samples for only less than a week and saw a huge difference… their products are botanically based and without mineral oil which is the 2nd worse thing we could do to our skin, it will be like rubbing car oil and exposing yourself to the sun…. all the fine lines are caused 1 by sun and 2 mineral oil the statistics are 90% sun and 10% mineral oil….

What is the best / strongest AHA or BHA body lotion out there?

I just started epilating (similar to waxing), and despite daily sponge exfoliation in the shower, + my AHA lotion, I’m getting a lot of ingrown hairs. The lotion I’ve BEEN using is Kiss My Face Olive & Aloe, Vanilla… which is “5% AHA.” But either that isn’t strong enough, or my year-old bottle has expired. (Is that possible??) I just bought Jergens Skin Smoothing lotion, which is supposedly also AHA, but they don’t put the percentage on the bottle… so I have no idea how strong it is. Any recommendations? I’m really hoping I can cut down on these ingrown hairs with a sponge + lotion!
Thanks to all. :)

stuff by alpha hydroxy and aqua glycolic are 12% and 10% respectively. According to reviews on drugstore.com these are good brands.

You’ve more than likely seen some of those so called “best face care products” brandishing claims across newspapers, magazines T.V and even online: ominous photos of hypodermic needles posed along side innocuous, even innocent looking containers of cream.

Their advertising message is simple: Topical cosmetic lotion promises the same wrinkle-relaxing, age-defying results as some expensive wrinkle-filling injections like Restalyne, Juva Derm or even Botox.

But can they seriously deliver? If you’re skeptical about what you read or watch, you’re not alone. Not surprisingly, some doctors also question these claims and their promises.

The bottom line is that if these face care products could accomplish the same thing as a medical procedure, they would be medicinal drugs and not cosmetics – and this is what you have to keep in mind when deciding whether to try or buy.

Some of the best face care anti-aging technologies focus on compounds called pentapeptides – these are small groups of long-chain amino acids that function as chemical messengers throughout your body. Among the most popular of these face care creams containing these ingredients include Amino Genesis, Regenerist and DERMacai.

And though dermatologists suggest there are no published medical studies showing they deliver, skin care experts involved in product testing say there is ample science behind the pentapeptide treatment technology.

“It had a very strong pedigree going into the study – we weren’t just looking for the next hope in the jar, we were really looking at medical scientific data before we started down the path with these skin care products,” says Lauren Thaman Hodges, director of Beauty Science for Olay anti-aging skin care products.

Research on pentapeptides was originally carried out in relation to wound healing. As part of your body’s natural response to the help skin heal, published medical studies demonstrated that peptides are instrumental in increasing your cells in the skin to help produce more collagen.

Collagen Is Key

However collagen isn’t just for healing minor wounds. It also plays an essential role in how your skin ages. Collagen is the support structure that gives our skin a young firm appearance. When levels remain bountiful, our skin looks young and rejuvenated. When levels decrease, we lose that support and wrinkles and sagging begin to form.

While sagging-filling injections can temporarily fill in the gaps, some dermatologists believe that topically applying these peptides to the skin might well help it make more collagen by itself. This would have a “filling” effect similar to the wrinkle injections-but without the dreaded needle!

However, by then adding synthetic peptides with a fatty acid – essential at getting into the deeper layers of your skin – Olay developed the compound palmitoyl pentapeptide-3. DERMacai uses a similar complex known as palmitoyl Oligopeptide. Both companies claim this increases collagen production and firmer, more rejuvenated youthful looking skin within 2 to 8 weeks.

Director of Olay, Lauren Hodges states: “We don’t suggest it’s more effective than a medical procedure – we just claim that many women aren’t ready (for a needle) so until they are, or if they never are truly ready, we are giving them an alternative with a skin care anti-aging technology you can use at home”.

As Olay spokesman Dave Owen suggested also, when their ads include the question, “Is this better than Botox?” what they are really asking is: “Is this better than Botox for you?”

“We’re just stating that if you’re not completely ready for an injection, then the ingredients in these products can really make a difference in how your skin looks – and it’s obviously the end results that count”.

They argue though that these skin care products contain much more than just pentapeptides. They include herbs, minerals and vitamins with anti-aging potential. This is at least true in the case of DERMacai, which was originally developed not for anti-aging purposes, but for treatment of stretch marks – since stretch marks are the result of split and broken collagen fibers – their dermatologist researchers theorized that a peptide involved in collagen production and healing wounds might also help repair stretch-marked skin.

However it wasn’t long before women soon discovered on their own that this compound could actually help build collagen reserves anywhere they’re needed – including those tiny lines around your eyes, mouth and forehead.

And the rest is face care anti-aging history.

body lotion pregnant

Yes the joy of carrying a life in your tummy is immeasurable, but the joy doesn’t have to come with the feeling of ugliness. In this article you’ll learn what set sexy pregnant women apart from less attractive ones, and its not about looks. and Learn how you can start being sexy today.

Sexy pregnant women always feel attractive no matter what:

  • Whether she is wearing sweat pants and a sweater, or lingerie, she knows she looks hot.

Most of the time they don’t care what anyone else thinks of the way they look:

  • Their beauty is not based on any one else opinion, they really take to heart the quote ” what you think of me is non of my business.” They do not complain about how they do not have the perfect look, they see their body as the ‘ the hand they’ve been dealt with’ and just do the best they can with what body they have been given.

Most importantly they maintain grooming and beauty:

  • Most unattractive women think beautiful women are just born with it, when in fact they work really hard to maintain their look.

There are no ugly women, just lazy ones:

  • This of its self is a relief to know, because that means you can start looking good today. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have the best figure, or hair or nails etc. All you need is to keep grooming, take a shower everyday, take hair oil treatments at home, lotion your body, and were nice clothes.

You might think you shouldn’t because your not a certain size, and your waiting to get to a certain size. that’s just crazy talk, start from now, and keep it up, no one is going to tell you “you shouldn’t take care of yourself your not the perfect size” most criticism women get is they don’t groom, not that they shouldn’t.

It is like saying you cannot go to the bathroom if you didn’t lose all that weight. Just as using a bathroom is a necessity so should grooming be to you as well.

body lotion ratings

Do you know the difference between premium skin care products and the average run-of-the-mill varieties? If not, let me give you some information to go shopping with.

Average

The ingredients and the warning labels can tell you more about a product than anything else. It’s difficult to memorize a long list of hazardous irritants and strong allergens. If a product has a warning label, it contains quite a few of them.

The average lotion contains petrolatum. It’s cheap, readily available and is a byproduct of crude oil production for gasoline refineries. Regardless of what you may have heard, petrolatum, mineral oil and liquid paraffin are not moisturizers. They only lock-in the skin’s natural oils, but better ways are available for doing that.

The average cleansers also contain petrolatum or one of its derivatives. Today, anti-bacterial agents have become popular and to provide the antibacterial activity, most companies use triclosan.

Triclosan is not found in premium skin care products because it can react with chlorinated water to form chloroform gas, a human carcinogen. “Green” companies advise against the use of triclosan since it builds up in the environment, damaging wildlife and fish. There are safe and natural compounds that have antibacterial activity. They’re just more expensive.

Better

Glycerin is a better choice than petrolatum since it provides moisture. However, it is not the natural approach that I prefer.

Today, the “better” cosmetics have an SPF rating because they contain a sunscreen, but the daily use of sun-screening compounds is controversial. I prefer to look for natural extracts that provide protection from free radical damage, since UV rays from the sun cause skin-cancer.

Truly premium skin care products do not have an SPF rating. It’s up to you to make sure that you don’t spend too much time in the sun. Wear protective clothing, sunglasses and a broad-spectrum sun-block when you do.

Truly Premium Skin Care Products

The best choices for moisturizing are grape seed, Shea butter and Avocado oil. The one to pick depends on whether it’s for day or nighttime use. If it is to be used under makeup, go with grape seed oil. It dries to a film that makes make-up removal easier and prevents it from clogging the pores.

Grape seed has a dual moisturizing effect because it penetrates, providing moisture with a film locking that moisture in. Shea butter and avocado oil are a little too heavy to use during the day, but as a reparative nighttime cream, the two combined cannot be beat.

If you also look for products that contain natural antioxidants like vitamin E and coenzyme Q10, then you can prevent and repair free radical damage. When it comes to cleaning and antibacterial activity, nothing is better than manuka honey.

So, that’s how you tell the difference between premium skin care products and ordinary ones. Hope this info helps.

natural stuff to use as body wash and lotion?

I know alot of other things to use for the hair, like eggs and stuff, and also i have looked up things for the face, like yogurt and lemon. But what is good to use for the body? are there any soaps or lotions i can make by mixing together some natural home ingredients to make the skin glowing and soft? or is it basically the same thing that they say to use for the face?

This one is fantastic!
(For all over body use, but you could probably use it on your face as well if you wanted.)

Ingredients:

Any cold pressed oil (olive / sunflower / peanut) enough to dampen the mixture

& Also does anyone know of some GOOD other skin whitening products?
Id heard of this one thats like CY? Whitening bar of soap... but im looking for something someone has used, and knows its good/works.
Mkay thank you(:

The best lightener (for face, elbow, knee and armpit) that my wife used is papaya kojic and licorice base soap and cream which are available online. These work wonders. Maybe it will work on you too.
Try searching it through Google ‘shopaholic’s bargains’
