			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are the <strong>beauty remedies</strong> that do not only <strong>relieve stress</strong> but also improve skin, immune system and looks in general. It&#8217;s important to know how to fight stress but these <strong>remedies</strong> can bring a double benefit if done right.

<h3>Massage</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/stress-relieving-beauty-remedies-1.jpg" alt="Stress Relieving Beauty Remedies" /></p>
<p>Massage is a great <strong>beauty remedy</strong> that does good to both your skin and mood. It&#8217;s relaxing and the aromatic massage oils leave a beautiful scent on the skin.

<h3>Bubble Bath</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/stress-relieving-beauty-remedies-2.jpg" alt="Stress Relieving Beauty Remedies" /></p>
<p>Bubble bath can be very relaxing. It&#8217;s more actual now as it&#8217;s cold outside and a warm bubble bath is not only a <strong>stress-reliever</strong> but it&#8217;s also a sure way of warming up after a cold work day. Add a delicious bubble bath or foam to warm water. If bubble bath is not an option go for a warm foot soak.</p>
<h3>Exercise</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/stress-relieving-beauty-remedies-3.jpg" alt="Stress Relieving Beauty Remedies" /></p>
<p>Exercise is said to be a good <strong>stress relieving </strong>activity. It apparently should be enjoyable so make sure you choose something that makes you feel good. The physical activity promotes the release of endorphins so it&#8217;s supposed to be enjoyable. Find the kind of workout that works for you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cleopatra is a well-known <strong>milk</strong> bathing fan. She used to have a bath full of <strong>milk</strong> that helped her to keep skin so soft and delicate. Surely I don’t call you to fill the bathtub with milk, as there are some other cheaper recipes where <strong>milk</strong> is used <strong>as an amazing beauty aid.</strong></p>
<h3>Milk Bathing </h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/Milk-as-Amazing-Beauty-Aid-bathing.jpg" alt="Milk as Amazing Beauty Aid" /></p>
<p>Don’t have 200 liters of milk to fill your bathtub as Cleopatra used to do? Don’t give up! Mix a glass of dried milk with 3 spoons of honey and pour out the derived mixture to your bathtub. It will soften, and nourish your skin.</p>
<h3>Milkshake</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/Milk-as-Amazing-Beauty-Aid-milkshake.jpg" alt="Milk as Amazing Beauty Aid" /></p>
<p>It is widely known that beauty radiates from the inside. Thus a sugar-free milkshake or a glass of milk per day will help you to glow with beauty and health.</p>
<h3>Milk Facial Mask</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/Milk-as-Amazing-Beauty-Aid-mask.jpg" alt="Milk as Amazing Beauty Aid" /></p>
<p>Mix carefully a glass of sour milk with the same amount of oatmeal, and apply the mixture to your face for 15-20 minutes, after wash it off with warm water.  It will help to cleanse your skin and make your complexion glow.</p>
<h3>Milk Massage</h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/Milk-as-Amazing-Beauty-Aid-massage.jpg" alt="Milk as Amazing Beauty Aid" /></p>
<p>Take warm milk and massage it into your skin. It will make your skin radiate health and beauty.</p>
<h3>Milk Cosmetics </h3>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/Milk-as-Amazing-Beauty-Aid-cosmetics.jpg" alt="Milk as Amazing Beauty Aid" /></p>
<p>Opt for ‘milky’ cosmetics. Among the brands using milk as a cosmetic ingredient are <em>Pupa</em> , <em>MAC</em> and etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Coffee</strong> braces us in the mornings, giving inimitable taste and aroma… but it appears that <strong>coffee</strong> can be no less useful for our skin and hair. Find out all the miraculous <strong>beauty</strong> <strong>secrets of coffee</strong>, as this goluptious drink can keep the <strong>beauty</strong> of our hair and skin. Moreover <strong>beauty</strong> recipes “starring” <strong>coffee</strong> are quite easy to DIY.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets-7.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-8296"></span></p>
<p>Besides one of the most active coffee components – caffeine that promotes lymph flow, coffee includes other useful substances, such as fruit and organic acids, fats, alkaloids, minerals, potassium, magnesium and iron. Coffee oil that is rich of linoleic acid prevents skin from aging and makes it more elastic, and also it has anti-inflammatory properties.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p>Well, we got added evidence that coffee is undoubtedly very very useful. And now here are some coffee beauty secrets for our skin. Of course one should use ground coffee, but not its instant analog!</p>
<p><strong><em>Refreshing Face Lotion</em></strong></p>
<p>Make strong coffee, pour it into ice trays and freeze. Then wipe your face by the derived ice pieces. Such coffee lotion would do a great tonic and refreshing action to your skin.</p>
<p><strong><em>Toning Lotion</em></strong></p>
<p>In the mornings one should wipe the face skin by cotton pad, wetted in freshly brewed coffee. This coffee lotion not just tones the skin but also adds a delicate tanned tint to it.</p>
<p><strong><em>Face Anti-Wrinkle Mask </em></strong></p>
<p>Dilute a spoonful of rye flour with cold strong coffee and bring it to a thick cream condition, after add an egg yolk and knead it carefully. Apply the derived mixture to your face and wash it off in 15 minutes.</p>
<p><strong><em>Anti-cellulite Body Wrap</em></strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets-2.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p>Spread heated coffee grounds on the problem areas of your body and wind them in plastic wrap. Leave it for 15-20 minutes and then wash off. Such body scrub can be applied twice a week. Also you can simply add ground coffee to your favorite shower gel and make gentle massage.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets-6.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p>Also coffee can restore gloss and saturation of dark hair.</p>
<p><em><strong>Coffee Mask for Dark Hair</strong></em></p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets-3.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p>Beat up two egg yolks and a spoonful of rum with two spoons of warm water, and then add a spoonful of ground coffee and vegetable oil. Apply to your hair and leave for 5 minutes, after wash off with warm water.</p>
<p>And here is another <strong>coffee beauty secret</strong> shared <strong>by Jennifer Love Hewitt</strong>:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/coffee-beauty-secrets-4.jpg" alt="Coffee Beauty Secrets" /></p>
<p>If you need to recover your dark hair gloss quickly: cool freely brewed strong coffee and spray it on your hair, then comb it carefully. And that’s that! ;)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People say that one learns on his own mistakes (in love, profession, family), but if the point is <strong>skin care</strong>, 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/beautiful-girls-face-skin-care.jpg" alt="How to avoid the mistakes and care about the skin" /></p>
<p><strong>Mistake #1</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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?</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> 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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/beautiful-face-and-skin-care.jpg" alt="How to get beautiful face or skin care.jpg" /></p>
<p><strong>Mistake #2</strong></p>
<p>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?</p>
<p><em>Conclusion: </em>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.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #3</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/smiling-beautiful-girl-or-skin-care.jpg" alt="How to care about your skin" /></p>
<p><strong>Mistake #4</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-7648"></span></p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> chose the nourishing product for your skin type and use it daily. The skin lacking for nourishing, is inclined to irritations, damages, mircoruptures causing premature ageing.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #5</strong></p>
<p>Almost every sunburn influences the skin condition with age. It becomes evident if you go outdoors without putting on any skin protection cream or lotion. Nowadays there are plenty of sun protection pleasant fragrant products. Protect your skin, if you don’t want to be covered with wrinkles and pigment spots after 35.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> keep in your bag sun protection UVA and UVB creams. That’ll be just wonderful if all your day products contain SPF filters (moistening cream, foundation and makeup cosmetics). They are a bit of a higher price, but they worth it. And don’t be ashamed to wear hats, baseball caps, sunglasses.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #6</strong></p>
<p>Although you might know the latest fashion makeup trends, but still cover your face with something wrong. A lot of girls make this mistake because they choose the color of lipstick over its quality. Irritating and allergic mascara is applied the same way just like the creams.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion: </em>learn more about your skin and cover it with only what it needs. Be captious choosing skin care products that fit your skin type and your age either. Anti-aging products may harm your skin if using at the wrong age. The cosmetics that you aren’t sure of shouldn’t draw your attention.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #7</strong></p>
<p>Sometimes you are simply lazy, sometimes it’s your lack of knowledge or attention, but the fact is that the neck should be nourished and protected against the sun rays, free radicals and other harmful exposures too. Wrinkled neck with flabby skin can spoil even the most blooming appearance.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion: </em>Taking care of the face, don’t forget about the neck. Clean it, moisten, massage, in short, do what you do for your face.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/photos/beautiful-woman-or-skin-care.jpg" alt="Treating your skin well" /></p>
<p><strong>Mistake #8</strong></p>
<p>It can sound ridiculous, but a lot of women find the wrinkles after sleep. Wrong sleep to be exact! If you prefer sleeping on one side, it provokes wrinkles appearing. The quality of a pillow influences on the situation in a good or bad ways. Ask a 40-year-old woman how the sleeping position effects the skin face in the morning! And if it happens day by day?</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> sleeping on the back is perfect. And find a good orthopaedic pillow that will be on the watch of your beauty. To avoid the wrinkles on the neck, stir clear off the high pillows.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #9</strong></p>
<p>Each girl faces this mistake. When we are young, we eat everything including fast food, alcohol and smoking cigarettes. This indulgence might affect your figure and skin with time. Remember the saying: “We are what we eat!” What do you want to be: fat turkey or sweet peach? What skin do you want? Fruits and vegetables are wholesome for both the health and skin condition.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> revise your eating regime. For openers, strike off the sweets and carbonated water. That’s a real evil for your skin! And eat more vegetables and fruits. Keep your weight stable. Weight loss or heavy weight gaining is the kind of stress for the skin and as a result – wrinkles and flabby skin.</p>
<p><strong>Mistake #10</strong></p>
<p>Skin should be moisturized constantly. Provide it with what you drink. When you take gulps of water, you definitely see the difference. It’s an incontestable fact proved by women.</p>
<p><em>Conclusion:</em> water, water and water! But not carbonated water! Some dietitians recommend drinking water even at night if you awake for some reason. Don’t wait until you feel thirsty!</p>
<p>This simple truth can make you feel responsible for your face skin. You should always be aware of the fact that only 40% of your skin condition depends on the cosmetic care and procedures, and 60% on your life style, meals and positive attitude toward the life. So, let’s launch the changes, and your skin will say “Thank You!”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>But! Even the well-to-do men cann&#8217;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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4643" title="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care.jpg" alt="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care" width="450" height="318" /></a></p>
<p>That’s why lots of Spa procedures are called-for today: thalassotherapy, aromatherapy, stone therapy.</p>
<p>Stone massage</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The modern method of the Classic Stone Therapy was developed by Mary Nelson-Hannigan from the American Massage Therapy Association.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4644" title="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care1.jpg" alt="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care1" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-4641"></span></p>
<p>The stones of the different sizes (usually they are rare, exotic ones as jadeite for example) are heated up and then put onto the various active points on the body (to effect the definite inner organs of the man); then goes massage – light, soothing, folding motions and pressures accompanied with the harmonizing music.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care3.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4645" title="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care3" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care3.jpg" alt="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care3" width="450" height="213" /></a></p>
<p>Stone massage allows normalizing the metabolism, microcirculation in the tissues (due to the temperature impact). Women notice the stabilization of the endocrine profile, soothing out of the wrinkles on the face even if the massage avoided it concentrating onto the body.</p>
<p>The session lasts about 30 minutes. To achieve a better result you should undergo 5-6 sessions.</p>
<p>What is the effect of the Stone therapy? You choose the effect by yourself. It depends on the stones temperature, massage intensity and various session components.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care2.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4646" title="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care2" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care2.jpg" alt="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care2" width="450" height="299" /></a></p>
<p>Stone therapy tones up or soothing the body by the intensifying or coming down the nervous system.</p>
<p>Basalt and rarely marble are used for the procedures as well. The first stone cools off quite slowly thanks to its porous structure thus sharing its heat and positive energy with a man.</p>
<p>According to the ancient knowledge, stones are the reservoirs accumulating the earth energy. Stones of the volcanic rock are unique as they gather all four elements simultaneously – fire, water, earth and air. They give off their energy easily that’s why they are taken often in the stone therapy.</p>
<p>Bright green jadeite is called a king of sauna.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care4.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4647" title="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care4" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Spa-Stone-Therapy-for-Body-Care4.jpg" alt="Spa Stone Therapy for Body Care4" width="450" height="292" /></a></p>
<p>You can be offered a combined stone therapy and massage session, aromatherapy.</p>
<p>Just imagine, you absorb the energy of the warm stones laying in the shade inhaling the aroma of the essential oils and you here a small fountain purling some where near by, light music… your strained nerves turn into the soft tissues gradually!</p>
<p>Isn’t that amazing?</p>
<p>Stone therapy isn’t aimed at weigh loss and cellulite fighting but if they are caused by the stress, then all you have to do is to remove their presence out of your body after the stone therapy as there will be no stress left.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Coffee-Scrub1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4589" title="Coffee Scrub1" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Coffee-Scrub1.jpg" alt="Coffee Scrub1" width="450" height="228" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Use the fine-grounded coffee for the most delicate skin places – face, neck and décolleté area.</p>
<p>Here are <strong>3</strong> <strong>the most helpful coffee scrub recipes</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>#1.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span id="more-4588"></span><br />
</strong></p>
<p>The easiest one! Apply your fave shower gel or cream onto the skin and then put the coffee grounds above it massaging. It goes well to all skin types.</p>
<p><strong>#2.</strong></p>
<p>Mix up 0.5 cup of the grounds with warmed up milk and stir it until the creamy consistence. Apply the scrub around the whole body. It softens the dry skin well.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Coffee-Scrub.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4590" title="Coffee Scrub" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/Coffee-Scrub.jpg" alt="Coffee Scrub" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p><strong>#3.</strong></p>
<p>Use this recipe as the anticellulite remedy. Blend 0.5 cup of the steamed rolled oats with 2 tbsp salt and 2 tbsp coffee grounds. Add 5-6 drops of the orange essential oil, 3-4 drops of rosemary and 2-3 drops of cinnamon oil. Apply the mixture onto the problem places of your body and massage them for 5-10 minutes. Then wash it off with warm water and rinse off with cool one after that.<br />
Moisten your skin with cream or body milk after scrubing.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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&#8217;t dare for bikini area epilation.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/salon-procedures-that-we-never-agree-to.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2162" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/salon-procedures-that-we-never-agree-to.jpg" alt="Salon Procedures That We Never Agree To" width="450" height="279" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Bikini Area Epilation</strong></p>
<p><em>What are we afraid of:</em> 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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/bikini-area-epilation.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2159" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/bikini-area-epilation.jpg" alt="Bikini Area Epilation" width="450" height="132" /></a></p>
<p><em>Why you shouldn’t be afraid of it:</em> 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.</p>
<p>Photoepilation do causes almost no discomfort.</p>
<p>Wax epilation goes well with the most desperate cowards. The speech is about aromawaxes and aromatars.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-2157"></span></p>
<p><em>Recommendation:</em> to minimize pain, watch your biological rhythms. It’s been noticed, that 3 days before and after the period woman’s painful sensitiveness increases significantly. Some cosmetologists advise to take a pain killer 30 minutes before the procedure.</p>
<p>As for the moral concerns, no one and nothing can help you to overcome the obstacle to bare in front of the unknown person! Just remember that you need it and the person is a cosmetologist. You are not the first one!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Exotic Packs</strong></p>
<p><em>What are we afraid of: </em>it’s pretty obvious that we are afraid of everything new and untried. First of all it’s hard to believe that giant slick and sticky algae can bring some pleasure when put around the body. Allergy risk is also frightening.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/exotic-packs.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2160" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/exotic-packs.jpg" alt="Exotic Packs" width="450" height="300" /></a></p>
<p><em>Why you shouldn’t be afraid of it:</em> in every professional cosmetology salon you’ll be tested on the tolerance of the new exotic procedure. If you are an allergic person, don’t forget to give advance notice about it.</p>
<p>Majority of body packs are accompanied with the aroma massage oils, music for relaxation, special lightening and drinks – all this provide comfort during the procedure and gives perfect results. If you are still afraid just question your cosmetologist about the pack in detail.</p>
<p><em>Recommendation:</em> if don’t venture to undergo the whole body exotic pack, start it by parts: first hands, then legs and etc. If you don’t like it then you can stop trying avoiding  uncomfortable sensations.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Teeth Whitening</strong></p>
<p><em>What are we afraid of:</em> there is an opinion that it’s a very unhealthy procedure and it causes lots of tooth and gum problems.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/teeth-whitening.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2161" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/teeth-whitening.jpg" alt="Teeth Whitening" width="450" height="338" /></a></p>
<p><em>Why you shouldn’t be afraid of it:</em> that’s true that some whitening pigments destroy enamel. But the stomatologist explains: “there is only 1% of people with clean and not problematic teeth. Others have small or big defects.” The whitening is the “dessert”, as the stomatologist exemines the biological culture of the mouth, cures gums, cleans teeth from the caries.</p>
<p>Don’t rush to the stomatologist with the demand to whiten your teeth. Ask him first if your teeth can stand this procedure.</p>
<p><em>Recommendation: </em>if you have agreed for whitening, take into consideration the fact that you should steer clear of the coloring products: Coca-Cola, red wine, soy sauce, coffee, tea, mustard, red barriers, red sauces, beet and tobacco as well!</p>
<p>So, coming to the end, let me remind you one more time: be ready for experiments and know more about the salon procedures you want to undergo!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-massage.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1818" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-massage.jpg" alt="Face Massage" width="450" height="399" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-1816"></span></p>
<p>There are 4 main massage movements:</p>
<p><strong>“Flowing”</strong>.  Flowing massaging should be very delicate over the face. It soothes the skin and stimulates the lymphatic glands functioning and blood circulation. Move the palms carefully along the skin surface intensifying the moves with every following.</p>
<p><strong>“Strong”</strong>. These massaging movements could be done only if the skin muscles are completely relaxed. This sort of massage includes rubbing, rotation, tapotement, stretching and harsh massaging. The tension on the skin should increase gradually.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-massage1.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1819" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/face-massage1.jpg" alt="Face Massage1" width="450" height="627" /></a></p>
<p>“Strong” massage is effective predominantly for  flabby and aging skin. But if you want to try it with young skin, use some cream for the procedure. That will improve blood circulation and lymphatic glands functioning thus ameliorating bacteriological skin protection. It cleans the skin from dead tissues and helps it to remain fresh and beautiful.</p>
<p><strong>“Stepping”</strong>.  These are the quick and light strokes. This massage intensifies the smoothing of the nerve endings and improves blood circulation. Such movements tone up the skin and stretch it.</p>
<p>But there is one thing you should pay your attention at: if you practice the massage for too long, it can cause some redness and pain on the skin in the event of touching provoked by the high rush of blood. So be careful!</p>
<p><strong>“Vibration”</strong>.  The vibrations are produced by the fast, tension-weak movements of the hand over the skin. It allows achieving a soothing and stimulating effect with the help of the palm, fingers and fists. This massage is perfect for the sensitive skin as it doesn’t damage the capillaries.</p>
<p>Usually a visible effect can be seen the next day after the first massage procedure. It holds up the skin aging process. So, if you never tried it, you lose nothing if you do and your skin gains beauty!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>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”.</p>
<p>Choose the type of cleaning that fits your skin type best.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1295" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/skin-cleaning-at-home2.jpg" alt="Skin Cleaning at Home" width="450" height="336" /></p>
<p>So, here are some recipes you can clean the face, neck and even décolleté area with:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Vegetable oil</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dairy</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Egg yolk</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1296" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/skin-cleaning-at-home3.jpg" alt="Skin Cleaning at Home" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Bran</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Honey</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Honey lotion</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1297" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/skin-cleaning-at-home.jpg" alt="Skin Cleaning at Home" width="450" height="299" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Rose extract</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Mint tincture</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Vapor bath</strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Vapor baths are contra-indicated to women with inclination to blood vessels dilation, skin redness, hard heart diseases, bronchial asthma, and blood circulation disturbances.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span id="more-1293"></span></p>
<p>Vapor bath procedure time limitation varies depending on the skin type:</p>
<ul>
<li>For dry skin – 3 minutes</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> For normal skin – 5 minutes</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> For combination skin – 7 minutes</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> For oily skin – 8-10 minutes</li>
</ul>
<p>Perform the procedure once a fortnight (oily skin), and once per 2-3 months (dry skin). If you skin is dry, apply a bit of nourishing cream before the vapor bath.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1298" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/skin-cleaning-at-home1.jpg" alt="Skin Cleaning at Home" width="450" height="461" /></p>
<p>So, you’ll need a terry towel and appropriate pan or any other metal jar with water. Water temperature should be of 140 F. Rinse your face first and tie a headscarf on your head. Cover the head with the towel so that the pan (or whatever you have) will be covered as well. If it’s too hot, make a small air hole in your “house”.</p>
<p>Herbs are preferable for the vapor baths (1 tbsp herbal mixture for 1 procedure):</p>
<ul>
<li>Herbal mixture for dry skin – Melissa, dill, lavender, camomile, calendula, coltsfoot.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Herbal mixture for oily skin – rosemary, sage, chamomile, lime blossom, brandy mint, oak bark, horse chestnut, willow &amp; birch leaves.</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Salt cleaning</strong></p>
<p>To make a vapor bath more effective, perform a salt cleaning after it. Take some cream, table salt and soda. Dip the cotton wool in to the cream, then into salt and then into soda. Apply it onto the skin bottom-up. If you have oily skin, keep these components on the skin for some minutes.</p>
<p>I wish it to be tried by you! Share your results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having revised your wardrobe, you’ve discovered the fact that your-previous-year shorts became smaller? Or it’s probably you&#8217;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.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1218" src="http://www.ourvanity.com/images/summer-shape-preparation.jpg" alt="Summer Shape Preparation" width="450" height="299" />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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Easy-digestible carbohydrates and fat are in plenty in sugar, bread and butter, potato, cream cakes, sweets, fried fish and meat.</p>
<p>Reducing the amount of just mentioned products in your diet, opt for the protein enriched ones: lean meat, fish, French beans, low-fat-dairy.<br />
Green tea, water, mineral water (no carbonated), fresh juices help in this stong battle over the weight.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>If you have no free time to attend a gym, practice some exercise at home:</p>
<ul>
<li> Leg swings in all directions;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Squatting (no less than 30 times);</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Up &amp; down pelvis movement while lying on the back with the knees bent (20-30 times);</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Holding straight legs up from the floor (but not too high) still remaining on the back lying position (10-15 times);</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Lunges to all sides (20-30 times).</li>
</ul>
<p>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.)</p>
<p>Only these three components will bring you figure to the pedestal.</p>
<p>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!</p>
