People say that one learns on his own mistakes (in love, profession, family), but if the point is skin care, learn from the experience of your predecessors. This post is about the mistakes you can stay away from relying onto the advices of the elder friends.

Mistake #1

Lots of girls don’t know their skin type as there are few problems that bother them. And they buy the products that they saw their moms, friends used. Meanwhile the choice of the cosmetics is quite an intimate case. There shouldn’t be any fashion following, but only your skin preferences.

Do you know how many problems you can get applying oily creams onto the oily skin? Skin pores simply can’t breathe and be free from the dirt. And what if you put on the drying creams having the normal one?

Conclusion: diagnose your skin type. There are plenty of on-line resources to help you. For example, you can go to the global cosmetic brands sites and pass the tests determining your skin type. Probably, these tests are trustworthy as the brands are interested in selling you the right product so that you could be satisfied with their cosmetics and become their resident buyer. This is the first what you can do staying in the computer chair.

The second one is you should consult the specialist. The consultant-dermatologists provide some perfume and cosmetic salons with free first consultation. Remember, that you should be curious about your skin!

Mistake #2

There are not many girls who know how to clean the skin believing that soap is enough at the age of 18-20. Tightened skin they take as the cleanness indicator. And this is a big mistake! Good soap that matches your skin type shouldn’t dry or tighten the skin. You are lucky if your soap is half creamy. But what if it’s not?

Conclusion: know more about your soap. If your soap peels the lipidic layer daily, if the pH isn’t neutral, if there are some irritations, know that all these will affect your face in the future. Find the products that can clean your face skin harmlessly.

Mistake #3

This paragraph makes sense for those who uses makeup or is going to do it. The conception of modern demakeup is a two-phase procedure. If you use only a wad with cosmetic milk and then wash the face with soap, then you do recklessly! This sort of demakeup choke up the pores and doesn’t care about the skin at all.

Conclusion: clean the skin twice! The first phase should be accomplished with the special makeup removal products (milk or oil), and the second phase is so to say cleaning after cleaning – you should take away the rest of the first-phase-cleaning cosmetics. That would be great if you use a special oil-free gel, mouse or tonic matching your skin type.

Mistake #4

If you skin is pretty dry or peels off regularly, don’t underestimate it. It’s the first sign that your skin is in need of additional nourishment. Lend a hand! Nourish the places that peel most. Apply the nourishing creams onto he problematic skin places. The rest of the skin doesn’t require another cream as it copes to balance the oil without any help. However, modern creams meet the requirements of affecting wholesomely the various skin areas.

It was simply impossible to even imagine before but nowadays it became an ordinary practice to require beauty not only for the body or face but for a soul as well. When you get stressed you need to release from it somehow. The perfect way out of stress is to have an extra recreation time, swim into the sea, and lie under the sun on the beach or even to walk around the world-grand museums.

But! Even the well-to-do men cann’t allow it because business takes the first and major place of the time. There is one great solution you can pick up – a day in a beauty salon where you’ll be offered a relaxation therapy for the face, body and soul. It’s not just a therapy, it’s a new birth, new strength.

That’s why lots of Spa procedures are called-for today: thalassotherapy, aromatherapy, stone therapy.

Stone massage

Stone therapy is a quite ancient procedure. Stone treatment is based on the temperature influence upon the vessels, swing of the heat and cold rates. It’s considered that the stones inform the organism what it is in shortage of.

The modern method of the Classic Stone Therapy was developed by Mary Nelson-Hannigan from the American Massage Therapy Association.

It’s principle is in special touchings and special massage with the help of the hot and cold stones with the use of the pressure point massage – shiatsu.

The coffee scrub effect is pretty visible already after the first procedure. The skin becomes smoother and silky. And the nice aroma and slight hue of tan turn the procedure into the real pleasure.

Regular massage with the use of the ground coffee beans tones up the skin and helps take the excessive water out of the tissues. The result – the skin becomes stunning soft. While coffee is wonderful for many reasons, it is actually the caffeine it contains that provides the added health benefits as a scrub. When coffee is applied to the surface of your skin, it helps redistribute fat cells and decrease the formation of cellulite.

Coffee scrub is an easy and available measure of skin care. It’s pretty simple to prepare by yourself. To make it for the future use you need to take the grounds, press out the rest of the liquid and lay out in thin layer to drying. When the mass is dry, pour off it into the jar. Always dry it well before shelving otherwise it’ll be mouldy.

Use the fine-grounded coffee for the most delicate skin places – face, neck and décolleté area.

Here are 3 the most helpful coffee scrub recipes:

Every woman has her own Never-do list of the procedures in a beauty salon – exotic pack, creative hairdo, nail build-up, tooth whitening, piercing and so on. Some of you don’t have the courage to make an eyebrow permanent makeup and others don’t dare for bikini area epilation.

In spite of all sensible arguments and reasoning you are still afraid. But cosmetologists assure us that the vast majority of our fears arise because we don’t have reliable information and trust widespread myths. But if to sort out thoroughly, there is absolutely nothing to be scared of.

Bikini Area Epilation

What are we afraid of: first of all it’s somehow uncomfortable and shameful. Then, they say, that the skin at this zone is extremely sensitive and there are a lot of nerve endings that leads to the painful procedure.

Why you shouldn’t be afraid of it: everything depends on the method of epilation. No doubts that the most painful one (but the most effective) is electro epilation (destruction of the hair with the help of electrode that affects hair bulb). Laser therapy is less painful but uncomfortable anyway. However, the up-to-date techniques include cooling that helps to reduce pain.

Photoepilation do causes almost no discomfort.

Wax epilation goes well with the most desperate cowards. The speech is about aromawaxes and aromatars.

We care much about our facial skin moisturing and protecting, but there is one more thing every woman should know and practice constantly – facial massage.

There is no contra-indication to this massage no matter if your face skin is young and healthy or damaged and aging. It helps to keep fat and water balance of the skin in norm . It’s particularly wholesome for people suffering nervous disorders and inclined to depression because these conditions affect the face significantly.

Clean your skin thoroughly before massaging it. If you have dry, prematurely aging or problematic skin apply almond or apricot oils after cleaning and cover it with warm towel to heat it up.

Then rub the oil evenly all over the face (except eyes and lip areas of course). Remove the oil from the face with the help of small amount of lavender or rose water. Sprinkle your face a little with mineral water as an additional wetting agent to prevent further insiccation.

Expensive creams and make up help to keep your skin beauty but the way you clean your skin determines its health. What to do to achieve a clean one? I’m not talking about some already ready make up removers or tonics. The point is about the washing easy remedies you can make at home by yourself. You know the paradox is that sometimes our skin demands home nourishing “food”.

Choose the type of cleaning that fits your skin type best.

So, here are some recipes you can clean the face, neck and even décolleté area with:

Vegetable oil

There’s no doubt that it’s very wholesome to clean the skin using some vegetable oil: sunflower seed oil, corn oil, olive oil, peach oil, sesame oil or just seed oil.

You need 2 teaspoons of any oil, but warm it up a bit before the procedure. At first, wipe the skin with the cotton wool that is slightly oil-moistened. Then wet it abundantly and rub the skin bottom-up (start from the neck). Rinse it out in 2-3 minutes with cotton wool moistened with some herbal potion, tea, boiled water mixed with fruit juice.

Dairy

The skin can be well cleaned and whitened by sour milk, sour clotted milk and kefir all the year round. The rule is: the fatter and rougher the skin is, the more sour the dairy products should be used. Rub your skin with the sour-milk-wet cotton wool.

If your skin is dry and you feel some burning, rinse you face with water and apply some nourishing cream. If you have oily skin, keep a thin layer of sour milk on the face for the night.

Egg yolk

Egg yolks are globally helpful in skin cleaning from time to time. Take 1 yolk, 1-2 teaspoons vegetable oil and the same amount of some fruit juice. Stir the ingredients until you get a uniform mass. Wipe the skin with the mixture thoroughly and leave it for 2-3 min. Then rinse it off with cool water.

Bran

This procedure fits well to oily skin. Take the bran you’ll find: oat bran, rice bran or wheat bran. Grin some oat bran and add 1 tbsp water or boric acid to it. Then mix it carefully and keep in a glass jar. When you want to wash your face, just take 1 tbsp mixture, add some water or sour milk until you get the gruel that’s to be applied onto the skin. Clean the forehead, chin, cheeks, nose and neck with it. Rinse the “gruel” off in 5 min with warm water and then with cool salty/ acidulated water.

Honey

Put a thin layer of honey to the dry skin and massage the place you’ve applied it to with the finger pads until it solidifies. The rests should be taken away by the warm compress. As a result this procedure removes the dead skin cells.

Honey lotion

Take 1 teaspoon honey and 1 teaspoon glycerin, 0.5 tbsp whiskey, 45 gr. borax and 0.3 glass of water. Mix up water with borax. Then blend honey and glycerin and add borax water. Put whiskey the last.

Or you can simply mix 1 tbsp honey with 2 glasses of warm water . This easy lotion is very wholesome. Honey water soothes the skin, cleans it and nourishes it well.

Rose extract

Pour almond/ peach oil into 3 cups of dry red rose leaves. Put it onto the water bath until the leaves discoloration. Keep the extract in the tightly closed jar and wipe the face 2 or 3 times a day. This extract cleans the skin perfectly, tones it up and rejuvenates.

Mint tincture

It goes totally well to dry skin. Grind 1 tbsp mint leaves and then pour 1 glass of boiling water into it. Let it draw for 30 min, then filter. This procedure is perfect as a thorough cleaning for porous or aging skin.

Vapor bath

Vapor is very favorable for a blood-vascular skin system; it intensifies blood circulation and perspiration. Under the vapor effect the skin cleans out of the dust, dead cells and so on. Vapor bath is recommended to the coarsened skin or oily acne skin.

Vapor baths are contra-indicated to women with inclination to blood vessels dilation, skin redness, hard heart diseases, bronchial asthma, and blood circulation disturbances.

Having revised your wardrobe, you’ve discovered the fact that your-previous-year shorts became smaller? Or it’s probably you’ve got a few pounds around your waist and buttocks during the cold season. But don’t give way to despair or depression. Unless it’s not summer outdoors yet, you have time to remedy these imperfections.

The first rule – don’t eat too diverse food at one go. The plainer your ration is, the better. The fact is that if we observe all the incoming products for fat, proteins and carbohydrates, we’ll easily see that fat is digested much faster than anything else in our organisms. To slowdown this process you’d better fall on the crude-fiber-rich-food: beet, carrot, cabbage. It is they that bring to normal the digestion process and metabolism.

Very often the unwanted fat is caused by the lack of potassium or sodium excess (salt). Consequently, the last is to be diminished to 77-92 gr a day. Sodium filled in by the high-microelement-contained food: dried apricots, bananas, prunes, raisins, greenery, vegetable marrow, lettuce, oranges, oatmeal, and curd.

Easy-digestible carbohydrates and fat are in plenty in sugar, bread and butter, potato, cream cakes, sweets, fried fish and meat.

Reducing the amount of just mentioned products in your diet, opt for the protein enriched ones: lean meat, fish, French beans, low-fat-dairy.
Green tea, water, mineral water (no carbonated), fresh juices help in this stong battle over the weight.

Correct nutrition is the first step toward your ideal shape. Add to it some fitness – aerobics, swimming, dances, callanetics. Though the point is that you can choose any sport you like best, just work out the problem zones.

If you have no free time to attend a gym, practice some exercise at home:

• Leg swings in all directions;

• Squatting (no less than 30 times);

• Up & down pelvis movement while lying on the back with the knees bent (20-30 times);

• Holding straight legs up from the floor (but not too high) still remaining on the back lying position (10-15 times);

• Lunges to all sides (20-30 times).

The third necessary element of the “unexpected” weight on the waist and hips is a regular warming up aimed to the metabolism acceleration. To eliminate that try a contrast shower, massage and special cosmetic products (the best are those which contain: caffeine, algae extracts, horse chestnut, ivy, green tea and alpha-hydroxide acids.)

Only these three components will bring you figure to the pedestal.

To conclude, let me remind you that correct diet, sport and cosmetic achievements can lead you to your dream shape. But only if you don’t stop on the half way!

Self – massage is one of the most popular. You need 5 – 20 minutes to do it to yourself depending on the part of your body you’re going to work over.

Here some exercises you can practice:

Head Massage. Don’t hurry! Pressure points in your skull can relax your whole body. There are two very significant acupressure points at the base of the skull on what’s called the occipital ridge. If you apply consistent pressure there, you can achieve total relaxation.

Put two tennis balls in a sock and tie the end, to find these points and apply pressure on those spots. Lie on your back on the floor and place the sock behind the upper neck, so that the two balls each touch the skull ridge that’s right above the hollow spot. Stay like that for 20 minutes. If you like, you can listen to soothing music. The pressure on those acupressure points send messages down the spinal column to relax all the muscles and it is very effective.

Face Massage. Just touch your face. There’s no need to knead it. With a very light touch, cup your cheeks and temples with your hands using no more pressure than the weight of a nickel. Hold your hands there for a minute. The warmth of the hands relaxes the muscles and connective tissue, bringing on an overall sense of relief.

Jaw Massage. Pull the sides of your ears gently straight outward, then straight up, then straight down. Or, with your index finger, press the tender spot next to your earlobe where it attaches to your head. Press and release. Now do it on the other ear. Repeat, alternating ears, from 10 to 15 times.

Women tend to forget about taking care of their feet considering face care more important.

Yes, surely, the first thing we see when we look at a person is a face and it has to be perfect. But if we have some problems with other parts of our body it is reflected on our face either. Thus, when you feel pain in your feet you do not look so happy as in situations when you feel comfortable and even if you smile people see that something is wrong with you.

This example clearly demonstrates the importance of taking care of all, even the tiniest parts of a human body. This post is about how to keep your feet healthy and undamaged.
It is obvious that feet may reflect your general health and comfort. Such symptoms as persistent pain or soreness must be taken as warning signs.

I can recommend you one of my favorite ways of relaxation – massage!
If you have never tried it, it’s high time you did it. Those who practice it will understand what I’m talking about.

What is massage?

Massage is the merge of physical cure and inward peace. Massage relaxes the muscles that makes them more flexible and improves the blood supply the body round.

Massage rejuvenates your skin and stimulates the fat layer melting. Skilled massage can do more than just release pain and muscles. It improves bones’, joints’ condition as well as internals operation.

You should avoid massage only if you’re ill and have high temperature or if you have varicose.

You can experience real massage in massage room, massage parlour or gym. Make sure your masseur is qualified in it. If you can’t feel relaxed and comfortable, you’d better change the masseur, because it’s a very intimate and trust-worthy process.

Stay in the lying position for about 15-20 minutes more after the session is over.

There is a great variety of massage tecniques, so that you can choose the most appropriate and helpful for your complex: classic/standard massage, lymph drainage, rolfing, pointillage, vibromassage, hydromassage, self-massage, etc.

Are you ready to start the session? Let’s do it!
