			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How to get yourself into order if there is only one week left before the giant party?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5901" title="New Year girl" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/New-Year-girl.jpg" alt="New Year girl" width="450" height="302" /></p>
<p>Early winter is quite a complicated time for an organism. Some of you have already had an illness and flu. All the taken drugs have effected the face skin well hopefully.</p>
<p>And the end of the year is a real hassle. But one who gets angered often – advances in age quickly, proved by the scientists. Nervous disorders influence the skin condition immediately. But what can you do to become irresistible up to the holidays (at least for the New Year party)?</p>
<p>The course of special procedures can help you to relax: warm bath with coniferous extract, lavender, and sea salt. The water shouldn’t be very hot, the time of the bath is 10-15 minutes 3 times per week.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5902" title="Woman Taking Bath" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Woman-Taking-Bath.jpg" alt="Woman Taking Bath" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p>If baths are contra-indicated to you, then you can take soothing herbal teas: valerian, mint, sweet-Mary and peony, or polysaturated acids. Polyvitamins with tocopherol (vitamin E) are great as well. Pure water with lemon goes well too.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-5900"></span></p>
<p>Light peeling will bring freshness and radiance to your skin. Simple face masks can be done at home easily.</p>
<p>Oats scrub: for dry and <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/normal-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Normal Skin">normal skin</a>.</p>
<p>Grind 1 tea spoon rolled oats, add 2 tbsp olive oil and apply the mask onto the skin. Rinse off with warm water.</p>
<p>Coffee scrub: for <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a>.</p>
<p>Mix up 1 tea spoon ground coffee with low-fat cream. Massage the face skin with the gruel. Then rinse off with warm water.</p>
<p>Do some masks after scrubbing and put on the cream matching your skin type.</p>
<p>Make a a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year present to your nails as well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5903" title="New Year nail care" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/New-Year-nail-care.jpg" alt="New Year nail care" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Prepare a bath of warmed up olive oil and 3-5 drops of iodine for them. Put the nails down in there for 15 min, then wipe them dry and stay away from water for a couple of hours. Take the procedure twice a week.</p>
<p>One more effective procedure for the nails:</p>
<p>Cut a lemon into two halves and stuck your nails into them for 10 minutes. Practice this nail mask in a day for two weeks.</p>
<p>Use concealer to shade away under-eyes-circles. If there is none, then use a foundation. If the blue shadows under your eyes are too evident, take the concealer with the thick texture. But if the under-eyes-“bruises” are scarcely seen or you are mimic, with some wrinkles, then the creamy texture should be much lighter. Don’t rub the concealer around the eyes, but barely touch it with your finger-pads.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5904" title="Christmas Make Up" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Christmas-Make-Up.jpg" alt="Christmas Make Up" width="450" height="271" /></p>
<p>In order not to attract extra attention to the dark circles under your eyes, steer clear of the bright <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/mascara/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mascara">mascara</a> or avoid any. But if you need to <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/mascara/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Mascara">mascara</a> the eye lashes, use the brown one.</p>
<p>Apply a very light or light-reflecting powder onto the inner eye corners in the direction to the brows.</p>
<p>If you shade the dark powder under the cheekbones carefully, it will make the same visual effect as liposuction. Also put a bit of it on to the temple and chin. Light powder will be just right to evade the mask effect. The color should be smooth all around including ears, neck and face all together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Our skin suffers from the badly circulated room ventilation and central heating system in winter. And together with this, people take much more proteins, fats, bread and eat more in general,  move less.</p>
<p>All these pollute the organism from inside causing skin problems. On the other hand, the cold stimulates and rejuvenates the cells. That’s why the winter coming affects our skin in a good way. But there should be taken some preventive measures to avoid the baneful influence of other factors.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5544" title="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips1.jpg" alt="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips1" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>SPA at home</strong></p>
<p>Find a couple of hours a week to do with your beauty in real earnest. Let’s start with the easiest procedure.</p>
<p><strong>Winter face clearness.</strong> Take the cosmetic clay and knead it till you get a sour cream consistency. Then apply the clay on to the face and leave it there for 30-40 minutes. Rinse it off with warm water and then immediately with cold one. The deepest cleaning provides the black clay, that is wholesome for the <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/body-care/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Body care">body care</a> and fights with cellulite.</p>
<p><strong>Winter face peeling. </strong>Mix up 1 tbsp oat meal with 1 tea spoon brown rice meal and 2-3 drops of lavender oil. Add a bit of warm water and 1 tea spoon honey. Massage delicately the face and neck skin using this mixture. Then rinse it off with warm water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5545" title="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips3" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips3.jpg" alt="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips3" width="450" height="308" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Face bath.</strong> This is a wonderful procedure for the normalization of the acid-base balance and skin detoxification. However, you’d better omit it, if you have a very <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/sensitive-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Sensitive skin">sensitive skin</a> or acne rosacea. Put the herbs and oils that fit exactly your skin type into the boiling water (in the pot or anything).</p>
<p>For example, chamomile goes well for the sensitive and <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a> types; peppermint and rosemary – for normal and combination ones as well as acne-affected skin. Lavender is the perfect herbal measure for all skin types.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-5541"></span></p>
<p>Bend your head above the pot about 3-4 inches high and cover your head with the towel letting the towel hang over the pot sides either. Stay that way for 5 minutes and then put a moisturizer onto the face.</p>
<p><strong>Winter face massage.</strong> Practice it with the help of a moisturizer or special therapeutic oil. Choose the moistening product that doesn’t contain petroleum, mineral oils and propylene glycol. Do the slight massaging moves over the face and neck bottom-up (from neck to forehead and temples).</p>
<p>If you care about the face this way every day, it will never make you feel uncomfortable and put off the aging.</p>
<p>Ice cubes are also one of the great anti aging measures. Don’t forget about the whole body that needs additional care in winter time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5546" title="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips2.jpg" alt="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips2" width="450" height="500" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">Dry skin</a> &#8211; that&#8217;s no great tragedy.</strong></p>
<p>Prepare the following <strong>face lotion</strong>: blend 10 oz warm water and 3 oz cream and boil it. Cool it, pour it into a glass jar. Pour out the sediment. Rub the skin with this lotion mornings and evenings.</p>
<p><strong>Nourishing mask with egg yellow.</strong> Beat up the half of 1 yolk (or 3 quail yolks) with 1 tea spoon olive oil and 15 drops of lemon juice. Apply the mixture onto the face. Rinse it off in 15 min with warm water.</p>
<p><strong>Linseed nourishing mask. </strong>Mix 1 tbsp flax seed with 5 oz boiling water. Boil it for 5-10 minutes. Cool it and put onto the face skin for 20 min, then rinse off with warm water.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5547" title="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips.jpg" alt="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips" width="450" height="287" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Honey mask.</strong> Grind 1 tbsp oatmeal, 1 tea spoon honey and 1 beaten up egg yellow. Apply the gruel onto the face for 20 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.</p>
<p><strong>Sour-cream mask.</strong> Mix up the equal parts of honey and sour cream. Put it onto the skin. Rinse it off in 20 min.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/oily-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oily Skin">Oily skin</a> – easy to dry a bit.</strong></p>
<p>Grate orange and grapefruit peel. Squash fruit juice and add it into the peel gruel. Add 3 oz brandy, put in to a warm place and let it draw for 7 days. Filter it. Don’t drink it though it’s tasty. Rub the face with the lotion 2 times a day.</p>
<p><strong>Honey mask.</strong> Mix 3 oz honey with 1 oz vodka and 1 oz water. Stir it well and apply onto the face for 25 minutes and then rinse off with warm water.</p>
<p><strong>Yolk mask.</strong> Beat up 1 yolk and 20 drops of lemon juice. Rub the face with olive oil and then apply the mask. Rinse off in 20 minutes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5548" title="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips4" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Winter-Skin-Anti-Aging-Care-Tips4.jpg" alt="Winter Skin Anti Aging Care Tips4" width="450" height="306" /></a></p>
<p>None of these masks will require more than 20-25 min of your precious time. But if you practice them regularly, you’ll spend about 140 minutes (2.5 hours) per week on the <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/face-care/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Face care">face care</a>. That’ll be 10 hours per month! And 120 hours &#8211; a year! Can you imagine how your skin condition will change having this care.</p>
<p>And one more thing, drink more water to prevent the skin from the hydrating!</p>
<p>Let yourself enjoy the winter season playing snowballs and skiing. Christmas and the New Year are coming. You see, there are lots of reasons to take care of your skin.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are so many products that have found their second life in cosmetology! Clay is not an exception! An average man will take clay as a building material or as stuff for china ware. Clay is a skin healer in cosmetic industry. It’s a sort of building material for the beauty creation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/White-Clay-Beauty1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4382" title="White Clay Beauty1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/White-Clay-Beauty1.jpg" alt="White Clay Beauty1" width="450" height="492" /></a></p>
<p>Masks on clay basis are extremely wholesome for <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/oily-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oily Skin">oily skin</a> as they absorb excess grease piles up on its surface making it fresher and cleaner. It’s the wonderful measure for the open pores narrowing and pimples removing. These masks just dry off on your face during 5-15 minutes and then you should rinse them off with warm water that takes away the dead skin cells.</p>
<p>To achieve a better effect you should remove the make up and wet the skin before applying white and blue clays. Such masks are to be done regularly but no more often than once per week. Beside white clay you can use tale, carbonic magnesia, and starch as a basis of the drying mask.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-4380"></span></p>
<p><strong>White Clay Masks</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The easiest mask to make contains of the equal parts of the white clay and tale. Add boric or lemon (preferably) acids to the basis, and if you have acne then add sulfur.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Mix up 3.5 oz white clay with 0.2 oz glycerine, 0.2 alcohol and 1 oz water. Apply the mixture onto the face with a wad of cotton wool. Rinse it off in 20 minutes.</li>

<ul>
<li>Mix 1 tea spoon tale and 1 tea spoon white clay, and then add 1 tbsp milk into it. Put the mask onto the face for 20 min and then take it away using a wad of cotton wool.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Blend tale and clay in equal proportions. Then add 1-2 tbsp milk and apply the gruel onto the face skin for 20 minutes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Take 1 oz white clay, 0.7 oz tale, 0.03 oz alum and mix it up with water until you get a cream consistency and put it onto the face. Take the mask off in 20 min.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Mask for a problem skin</strong></p>
<ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Mask for a <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/normal-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Normal Skin">normal skin</a></strong></p>

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Grate ½ cucumber and mix it up with 2 tbsp white clay. Put the mask onto the face and leave it there until it dries off, then rinse it off with mineral water and apply nourishing cream.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Blend 1 tbsp clay, 0.5 tbsp lemon juice, 0.5 tbsp mineral water, 1-2 drops of tea tree essential oil, 1 drop of mint essential oil and 1 drop of rosemary essential oil. Apply the mixture onto the face but don’t let it dry sprinkling it all the time with mineral water. Rinse it off in 20 minutes. This mask is extremely good as a skin healer.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/White-Clay-Beauty2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4384" title="White Clay Beauty2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/White-Clay-Beauty2.jpg" alt="White Clay Beauty2" width="400" height="436" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Mask for <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a></strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Add 30-40 drop lemon juice and 1 tbsp white clay to 1 tea spoon liquid honey. You are free to add some cool water to get a white gruel that is to be put onto the face and neck skin. Rinse it off in 25-30 minutes with cool water and then rub your skin with a piece of lemon. The mask is completed with several cold compresses. Try this one 1-2 times per week.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Lemon is a great beauty and health keeper! It’s rich in C vitamin like no other fruit or berry. And it’s so much indispensable when one gets cold or simply wants to improve the health. It’s also widely used in beauty industry to highlight the hair for instance.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/lemon1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3671" title="lemon1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/lemon1.jpg" alt="lemon1" width="450" height="402" /></a></p>
<p>Celebrity Manicurist Marina Sandoval uses the juice of a lemon to bleach yellow nail stains.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Remove yellow stains by using pure lemon juice,&#8217; she suggests. &#8216;Rub hard over nails using saturated cotton wool, then follow with a nail buffer as this also helps to rid nails of that unsightly yellow hue.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Victoria Health Pharmacist Shabir Dayar recommends blending some lemon juice with a tiny amount of olive oil and honey to soften <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a> of the face.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Lemon juice helps eliminate dead cells, while honey allows the resulting mixture to set, as olive oil restores the lipid levels of the skin apart and it also has regenerative properties,” he explains.</p></blockquote>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fresh-yellow-lemon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3672" title="Fresh Yellow Lemon" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fresh-yellow-lemon.jpg" alt="Fresh Yellow Lemon" width="450" height="301" /></a></p>
<p>Ruby Hammer, celebrity make-up artist and co-founder of the Ruby &amp; Millie make-up range, uses lemon as an emergency deodorant.</p>
<blockquote><p>“Rub half a lemon under your arms &#8211; it makes a great natural deodorant,” she suggests. “You can then seal the lemon with some Clingfilm, then simply cut off a slice and use the fresh part the next day.”</p></blockquote>

<p>It’s considered to think Asia Minor and Central Asia to be the motherland of the melon where it had been grounded since 4000 B.C. and spread all over the world later on.</p>
<p>Nowadays there are about 1000 different kinds of it. Melons differ in the structure of leaves, flowers, the time of ripening, color of the peel and pulp, smell.</p>
<p>Melon pulp contains 88.5% of water, 0.6% of dietary fiber, 0.6% of ashes, up to 18% of sugar, 0.4% of pectines, 0.2% organic acids, fat, volatile aroma compounds, minerals (iron salt in particular), C vitamins (up to 60%), carotene (0.40%), B1, B2, B3, Е, РР, pantothenic acid, and pretty rich in folic acid (around 6%).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Autumn season implies special care for our skin including protection, nourishing, moistening, and cleaning+toning. Today we are going to talk about the methods we can use to take a good care of the skin on this changing year time.</p>
<p>To protect your skin, you’d better have fall creams that are noted “regenerative” or “protective”. Such creams will help you to build up the protective barrier for the skin against the weather changes.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/facial-mask1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3322" title="facial-mask1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/facial-mask1.jpg" alt="facial-mask1" width="450" height="565" /></a></p>
<p>It’s also worth mentioning that the fall cosmetics should have more fatty components in its composition than the summer one.</p>
<p>But as is generously known, you should know where to stop, because if you overdo it using a too oil rich cream, you simply harm the skim. The thing is that too fatty cream can cork up the pores when heated (at work for instance) leading to the oxygen penetration into the skin cells.</p>
<p>Masks are also of super importance! They should combine both protective and vitamin qualities. The good example is an oat mask.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-mask.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3323" title="face-mask" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-mask.jpg" alt="face-mask" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>Prepare this mask at home using the following recipe. Take 3 tbsp warm cream or milk and add them into 1 tbsp rolled oats. Wait until they swell and then apply the mixture onto the face an snack skin. Leave it there for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water not soaping after.</p>
<p>You probably think the right way: nourishing is of grand importance. Skin requires vitamin C utterly. See if you can include into your ration this vitamin containing products as much as possible: citrus, apples, bell pepper, kiwi, cabbage, greens.</p>
<p>Fresh barriers, fruits and vegetables are perfect for the homemade-cosmetic masks. But the truth is that sometimes skin can bear them as they are too rich with this vitamin.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-3320"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fall-skin-care1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3324" title="fall-skin-care1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/fall-skin-care1.jpg" alt="fall-skin-care1" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p>That’s why you can feel some burning or tingling on the skin during this procedure. To avoid this effect, use fruit-berry-gruels that will make you less discomfort.</p>
<p>Here also some recipes you are free to use in fall:</p>
<p><strong>1. </strong>For <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/oily-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oily Skin">oily skin</a>: make a mixture of moistening cream, several drops of mint tincture and grated cucumber that narrows pores (very urgent for <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/oily-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Oily Skin">oily skin</a>). Put this blend onto the skin for 40 minutes. Then rinse it off with warm water.</p>
<p><strong>2.</strong> For combination and <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/normal-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Normal Skin">normal skin</a>: grate the grapes, cabbage, and apple, pear until you get gruel and then add 1 tbsp nourishing cream.

<p><strong>3.</strong> For <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a>: the following nourishing blend is a real godsend for <a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/tag/dry-skin/" class="st_tag internal_tag" rel="tag" title="Posts tagged with Dry Skin">dry skin</a>.
