Blackness Around the Neck (How Do I Get Rid of It!!!)

Have you ever seen anyone with really good looking face but when you look at their neck, there's a ring around it or blackness?  You probably think to yourself, "Well sheesh, they need to scrub their neck harder in the shower or do something!" Part of the problem as to why people have dark rings around the neck is failure to properly cleanse the neck along with the face when washing. Your face is the center of attention when you speak to people but as people talk to you they're also looking around the rest of your face, including your neck.

It is really important to cleanse and exfoliate the neck along with the rest of your face on a day to day basis. Not doing this will cause the blackness and dark regions around the neck.  

If you do have blackness or darkness around your neck here are some home remedies that will help you to get rid of it.

• Take milk and rub your neck with it. Milk is an excellent cleanser and a toner too.
• After cleansing, use a scrub, preferably natural one, to exfoliate the skin around your neck.
• You may mix olive oil with sugar and rub gently to scrub your neck.
• Sometimes use another scrub having bleaching agent such as lemon juice. You will find many scrubs here in this article that you can use for daily exfoliation.
• After exfoliating, wash off with water and apply some moisturizer.
• Whenever you go out, apply sunscreen to your neck along with your face. This will avoid pigmentation.
• Never step out in sun when you apply lemon juice on your skin. This will make your neck darker than before.

If you follow the above neck care regime daily, you will begin seeing result in a two week’s time. However, do not stop and continue cleansing, scrubbing and moisturizing your skin (rapidhomeremedies.com).

As for an exfoliant, I recommend Lemon Burst  face and body scrub by Body Scrubs by Rebeca.  Lemon burst exfoliates the skin. It is made with sugar, fresh lemon peel to help polish the skin, lemon juice that acts as the bleaching agent to fade blackness or dark spots and natural oils are great for moisturizing the skin.  Visit bodyscrubsbyrebeca.com to view more information.

Massage Oils

So, for the last few months I've been saying that I'm going to introduce BSBR relaxing massage oils and finally, last night, I did some research and testing.   If all goes well, I should be releasing this new product by months end. I've been working on some really fancy names for the product and everything! I just want it to be perfect so that when you all give or get massages you will be in an aromatic heaven. 

Anyhow, I brought the tester in at work to get some feedback from my colleagues. They loved the way it smelled but they thought some of the oils I used were a bit dense.  I tested it out by offering my coworker a little massage and she loved it! I got the kink right out of her neck LoL! (I know, I should be working but we had a little down time).

But anyway, you may be asking yourself, why does she want to introduce massage oils to her collection of body scrubs? Well, the answer is easy! Everyone loves a massage (I know I do) and what's more awesome than getting a massage and getting rubbed down with a soothing, calming and sensual scented oil?

BSBR massage oil protoype

People have been getting massages for years and it was part of the health care system in ancient civilization.  The Chinese, Egyptians, Greeks, Mesopotamians and Indus Valley civilizations all practiced massage therapy with the use of oils in the past.  The Chinese massages are amongst the best in all of the societies, as they have mastered the technique.

There are difference types of oils that I researched and tested out. Here are some of the oils I tested and their uses. I think you'll find it interesting.
