3 home remedies to get rid of dark knuckles

Posted: 05 Apr 2021 09:00 AM PDT

Women with dark knuckles lack the confidence to wear fashion accessories due to public ridicule and stigmatization.

Here are easy and permanent ways to remove dark knuckles.

According to research, dryness can cause dark knuckles. Skin tends to become dry when your hands and feet are exposed to harsh chemicals or too much washing. This often leads to darkening of knuckles. Certain skin diseases like psoriasis and eczema tend to make your knuckles dark.

Lemon juice
Lemon contains nutrients as well as antioxidants that are essential for restoring your health and rejuvenating the entire physical system.

It also contains Vitamin C that plays a key role in rejuvenating the facial skin internally so that you do not ever develop age spots and can stay young forever.

Mix a spoon of lemon juice with sugar and rub your hands vigorously for about ten minutes. Do this every night before going to bed. The bleaching properties of lemon juice, together with the exfoliating properties of sugar would work wonders. Follow up with a hand cream.

The almond-curd treatment
Almonds are rich in protein, zinc, magnesium, Omega-3, calcium etc. They help nourishes and softens the skin when applied daily.

Mix crushed almonds with curd and apply the paste on your knuckles. Rub for 10 minutes. This practice, done every day, helps to reduce darkness and makes skin fairer.

Moisturize with milk cream
Darker skin tones and pigmentation can be solved by applying raw milk topically. The high lactic acid content not only has skin-lightening properties but will also help get rid of dead cells on the skin's surface.

Mix the content of a vitamin E capsule with some milk cream. Apply on your dry knuckles and wait for sometime. Then, rub it for about 5 minutes and wash off. It softens dry skin. You may add a pinch of turmeric to benefit from the antiseptic and skin-lightening properties of turmeric.

Maintain healthy soft hands with gentle cleansing, regular exfoliation and deep moisturising.

Actress, Omotola Jalade – How I Reacted To My Father’s Death

Posted: 05 Apr 2021 02:30 AM PDT

'I did not even mourn my dad', she said

Veteran Nollywood screen diva, Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, has described how she felt when she learned her father had died.

The beautiful mother-of-four, in a new chat on the latest episode of #WithChude, said her father's death made her numb and affected her strangely, like something died in her.

Omotola revealed she had a very close relationship with her father to the point that she couldn't react when she got home to the news of his death. "I was numb and emotionless, and it has affected me to this day", she said.

Narrating the event, she said; "When I was about nine years old, I was shipped to Command Secondary School in Kaduna. By that time, they had just given birth to my younger brother. I was a child and I did not take it well at all.

"I even remember when he was leaving, and we both were crying. It really affected me – I thought the reason was because he now had other kids, and I was no longer important to him.

"I think everything I have been, positively or negatively, was solely because of my father's death. It affected me so much; I did not even know how much at the time. I did not even mourn my dad.

"I think everything I have been, positively or negatively, was solely because of my father's death. It affected me so much; I did not even know how much at the time. I did not even mourn my dad."

"At the age of 12, I was becoming a little lady, and I was excited to spend time with my father. That was when I got called out of school because I needed to be home. I knew someone had died because of how everyone in school was tiptoeing around me. The only thing I kept saying at the airport was, 'I just hope it is not my dad.

"For some callous reason, I was okay with it being anyone but him. When I got home, I was greeted by a crowd. As I walked into the house, I was thinking about which of my family members had died. I saw my brothers, then I saw my mum, and, at that moment, I froze because I knew it was my dad that had died.

"I'm not sure if it was the guilt of wishing death on someone else, and not him, or because I was too young to process it or because I was still angry with him for shipping me off, but I was numb and emotionless, and it has affected me to this day. It was like something died in me."

"The way dem spell "Sarkodie" sef. Jay Z wnt make that mistake," a Twitter user tried to correct him but he still defended, saying: "It's real bruh. Jiggah Ascension Album."
