Reasons why every woman should own a Vibrator

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST

For the longest time, there were misconceptions about women using sex toys and vibrators. Women were shy to reveal they owned a vibrator.

Nearly half of adult women currently use sex toys or have tried them in the past as masturbation is frequent in women. Also, women in relationships are even more likely to use them, according to research.

According to statistics, the sale of sex toys boomed globally in 2020 with Nigeria experiencing an over 50 percent increase in sales during the pandemic.

A vibrator is a sex toy that is used on the body to produce pleasurable sexual stimulation and they come in different shapes and sizes, depending on what purpose you want it to serve.

Vibrators have numerous health benefits according to relationship experts and if you have not joined the list of those who own one, here are 7 reasons why you should.

1. Leads to multiple orgasms

Having multiple orgasms is a feat that not too many women accomplish on a regular basis. However, that can change by using a vibrator.

Since the vibrations cause your body to be more sensitive and reactive, it's more likely you'll be able to experience those multiple orgasms you've always desired.

A lot of women who have never had an orgasm before will often orgasm the first or second time they use a vibrator.

2. Relieves stress

If you're feeling pretty stressed out after a hard day, are unable to relax, or have trouble sleeping, try having an orgasm.

Having an orgasm releases oxytocin and serotonin, which heightens feelings of calmness and contentment. These hormones are known as the 'feel-good' hormones because they are linked to happiness. Regular production of these hormones through orgasms with a vibrator can contribute towards feeling less stressed and more positive.

3. Spices up your sex life

If you don't communicate with your partner during sex, you will fail to know what to do and it can become a daunting affair. Still, it is crucial to experiment with vibrators so that you discover your partner's likes and dislikes.

As a result, you'll feel increased intimacy with your partner, leading to increased sexual desire for your partner and increased satisfaction with the relationship overall.

4. Keeps your vagina healthy

When you orgasm, your vaginal walls are lubricated, and this moisture boosts their elasticity, which breaks down as you age. It also opens your cervix so fluids can be flushed out, which will prevent those tricky (and painful) UTIs.

5. Helps relieve pain

Research has shown that orgasms have been effective in getting rid of period pain and cramps. Also, vibrators can also help if you have other health conditions like headaches.

This is because the area of the brain involved in pain reduction is highly activated during arousal and endorphins are released, which can soothe nerve impulses that cause migraines or joint pain.

6. Helps you learn about your body

Using a vibrator helps you find out where your truly sensitive areas are. You will also become way more confident sexually, and you'll be able to bring some of your newfound sexual knowledge into the bedroom. When you start having regular, great orgasms you'll likely begin to become more confident in your body and the way you carry yourself. And often treating your body better will follow.

7. Helps you sleep better

If you have trouble sleeping, an orgasm will improve the quality of your sleep thanks to the fact that when you climax you produce the sleep-inducing hormone, prolactin. So, theoretically, you should enjoy better and more restful sleep after an orgasm.

Here are 7 Skincare mistakes that are causing your Acne

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 07:00 AM PST

Every woman wants flawless, acne-free skin, however, you may be making some subtle mistakes in your skincare routine which is causing your breakouts or aggravating it.

Here are seven of them.

1. Picking Your Pimple

Many of us have a habit of touching our face with dirty fingers or even popping a pimple. Touching the face with your hand secretes more oil, dirt, and germs onto the skin.

Picking at pimples can damage your skin and lead to scarring. When you pop a pimple, you're forcing the oil, bacteria and other debris out of the pore and, in doing so, you tear the top layer of skin. The result is an open wound that could scar as it heals.

2. Using Way Too Much Acne Medication

Overusing acne medications, especially those that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, can become a problem too. These products tend to dry out the skin which can trigger our skin's oil production further. The oilier the skin, the more chances there are for clogged pores.

However, rather than using these products every single day, try giving your skin a little bit more time to repair and recover on its own.

3. Using Only Makeup Wipes to Clean Your Face

One major problem is that many women use makeup wipes to remove makeup but fail to follow it up with a face wash.

Although makeup wipes themselves are unlikely to cause breakouts, they can leave behind dirt and makeup residue that may lead to acne. Wipes contain alcohol, fragrances, and other ingredients that can dry out the skin. If your skin is sensitive, there is a chance that rubbing will irritate it and cause swelling and inflammation that can block your pores.

4. Not Wearing Sunscreen Or Using The Wrong One

Wearing sunscreen is the best way to protect your skin from UV damage and it helps reduce the risk of skin cancer as well. What many women do not realize is that it may also affect the frequency or severity of your acne breakouts.

While it's important to protect your skin against the sun, certain types of sunscreen can contribute to the development of acne. Some sunscreen formulas use oil-based organic filters that can irritate the skin and cause breakouts. Other sunscreens to avoid are heavy and comedogenic products that can clog pores and give you blemishes and blackheads.

The best way to protect your skin is to opt for an oil-free, non-comedogenic 30 SPF or above sunscreen that won't clog your pores or irritate your skin.

5. Using Too Many Products At The Same Time

A lot of people with acne believe that every single product in their routine should be geared toward acne-prone skin.

Using too many products at the same time can cause contraindications between products, and the layering of products may render others ineffective or useless. Plus, the more products you add into a routine, the more likely you are to encounter reactions that result in clogged pores and breakouts.

Sometimes the best approach is just to simplify to the most minimal skincare routine you can muster and still achieve your skin goals.

6. Washing Your Face The Wrong Way

First, using the wrong cleanser can bring about even more skin problems. Find the right cleanser for your skin type. For oily skin, it is better to use water-based products. As for dry skin, avoid exfoliant cleansers. These will further dry out the skin.

Second, make sure you rinse your skin thoroughly and pat your skin dry with a soft, clean towel. Leftover cleansers can interfere with the next skincare products you apply. This can also lead to drier skin and more breakouts.

Third, do not over-cleanse. Over cleansing can strip away the protective layers of the skin. Our skin has a natural mantle of protection made up of microorganisms that help our skin maintain hydration and fight infections. Too much cleansing can interfere with this natural process.

Lastly, remove your makeup before you sleep.

7. Using Harsh Exfoliants

If your skin is prone to acne, you have to be careful about choosing an exfoliant, however, because if you make the wrong choice, you could end up irritating or damaging your skin, ultimately making the problem worse.

For acne-prone skin, chemical exfoliants like alpha hydroxy acids (AHA), beta hydroxy acids (BHA), and chemical peels can be better. They help loosen dead skin cells without being too abrasive like physical exfoliants are.

But before trying out chemical exfoliants, please consult a dermatologist for the right products and applications. Chemical exfoliants can dry up the skin so a dermatologist will also recommend a good moisturizer to accompany the treatment.

How to use Beetroot Juice to naturally dye your hair

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 05:00 AM PST

Dyeing your hair can give you that new look or change in the hair color you desire.

However, constant use of traditional hair dyes which contain potentially toxic and damaging chemicals like ammonia or parabens can permanently damage your hair or lead to hair loss.

One way to avoid these chemicals is through the use of natural hair dyes such as Beetroot which not many people know about. This red vegetable contains betacyanins, a type of betalains, which contribute to their deep red color.

Beetroots are packed with nourishing vitamins, minerals, flavonoids, and antioxidants like carotenoids is a natural remedy for improving hair health and hair growth. It also offers incredible benefits for hair health when applied directly to the hair.

Here are 3 DIY Beetroot dye recipes you can try at home.

1. Beetroot mixed with coconut or olive oil

The nourishing properties of coconut and olive oil when mixed with beetroot can enhance your hair color and hydrate your hair at the same time. Its moisturizing and hydrating properties can also help make your hair glossy and shiny when you wash your hair after the application of beet hair dye.

How to use:

∙ Cut the beetroot into pieces then wrap the pieces in aluminum foil and bake them for 30 minutes at 200 degrees centigrade. Blend the baked beets to extract the juice. ∙ Mix 3 tablespoons of virgin coconut or olive oil into the extracted beet juice. ∙ Wear plastic gloves and apply the above mixture over your hair. Make sure that no hair strands are left so that color is distributed properly.

∙ Cover your head completely with a plastic wrap.

∙ Apply the mixture to your hair and let it sit for an hour. If you want a darker hue leave it for 2 hours.

∙ Rinse and wash your hair with slightly warm water.

2. Beetroot mixed with carrot and sugar

Sugar helps in making the color of the beets intense and lasts longer. Carrot and sugar together can help get a smooth paste when mixed with the beetroot.

How to use:

∙ Mix the extraction of beet juice and carrot juice with 2 tablespoons of sugar. ∙ Heat the mixture to form a smooth paste.

∙ The mixture should be runny for easy application. The stickiness of sugar will allow the mixture to become more intense and therefore the color will have a better effect. ∙ Let the mixture sit for an hour and wash your hair to see the result.

3. Beetroot mixed with black tea or coffee

If you wish to have darker shades of hair color using beetroots you can opt for this recipe. You can also add some natural oils for extra nourishment.

How to use:

6 habits of couples who have great sex

Posted: 28 Nov 2021 04:30 AM PST

Sex is believed to be the highest form of intimacy in a romantic relationship.

It proves that the two individuals trust each other completely and are ready to be vulnerable with each other. It also strengthens a couple's bond and helps connect them on various levels.

However, there is more to sex than the mere physical act. In order to have an amazing sexual experience, there are many other things we need to ensure.

Here is a look at some habits of couples who have great sex.

​They are affectionate even outside the bedroom
Romance doesn't start in the bedroom only. It should be a part of your everyday lives, no matter it leads to sex or not. Receiving little kisses, cuddles, and compliments, and feeling seen, wanted, and supported by your partner can go a long way to set up a great time in the bedroom.

They put it on their calendar
Those who choose to organize their sex schedule do so because they like sex, and they want to keep having it. Also, the arrangement carries certain perks spontaneous sex does not, including anticipation. Couples can use it as an opportunity to incorporate something new and interesting into their sex lives.

They act like they are dating
When we are married, we don't think we have to or need to do the things we did when we were dating. However, this is absolutely wrong. Thus, maintain eye contact, smile, let her talk without interrupting, lean in, and listen to what she says - just like you used to do while dating.

​They know the importance of taking care of themselves
Staying healthy and feeling good about your body isn't all about looks. When you feel confident about yourself, you can have a better time in bed, and that enhances things for your partner too. Keeping up with your general health by exercising and eating right can also help prevent issues in the bedroom like getting out of breath, not having a lot of stamina, not having the strength to try certain positions, or even erectile dysfunction.

​They don't compare their sex lives to that of others
It's easy to want to compare your sex life to what you see on TV, in porn, or to what your friends tell you. However, it's about what works for your relationship. The sex lives of others shouldn't be a concern.

They function as a team in everyday life
Couples having great sex feel like they have an awesome teammate, even outside the bedroom. Splitting chores fairly, encouraging each other, being a good listener, and approaching problems as a team can improve your sexual habits and make you both feel ready for some romance at the end of the day.
