One of the biggest mistakes of skin care – is too much clearance. Our skin is covered with natural oils that protect it from external adverse factors, and coarse facial cleansing can weaken this natural protection and make the skin too sensitive. The use of detergents that are suitable for your skin type (no parabens, ie, no preservatives) in the morning and evening – that is enough to make the skin clean without damaging the natural protection.

At least sometimes allow skin to breathe, because facial creams block the production of natural fatty lubricant that stands the skin. Let the skin breathe during the night, so you can avoid the development of lesions on the skin that appear due to clogging of the pores.Another mistake that women care about the beauty of the face is the fact that they limit the scope of applying the cream for the face, only the face. In fact, your neck requires the same detailed attention, since it is just as exposed to external factors. Neck skin more delicate than in any other part of the body, so you should be careful and use a moisturizer for the neck as often as it is for the person. When you apply the cream, make sure you have covered the area from the hairline to collarbone.

From time to time clean the skin with steam, as it will help remove dirt without mechanical action on the skin. The steam helps to quickly open the pores and deep clean them. Pour a little boiling water into a bowl and squeeze back a little lemon juice and add a few drops of essential oils of lavender or rose petals. Tilt the face of the cup (but not too close) and throw with a towel on his head, so that steam will be directed precisely to your skin.

Remove hair from the face to make sure that dust and grease that may be on the hair, do not get on skin, especially at night. Tie your hair into a low ponytail or a silk scarf tied his head to clear them from the face.

To remove eye make-up using a special tool. These tools will make your skin clean and fresh eyes, because they are rich in oils that remove eye makeup with more effectively and sensitively. Wash each time after you have used a tool to remove make-up, to make sure that the skin did not have any balances in the funds.

The main fashion trends this year – a return to simplicity and naturalness. Probably not worth talking about that now, for that matter, and always in fashion – well-groomed hands and feet. Even well manicured nails, covered with transparent varnish, will look in 2012 actually.

With regards to form, but this year the fashion tone for manicure and pedicure sets an oval shape. Slightly inferior to her popularity, almond-shaped nails. The main objective of such a manicure – emphasize your femininity and create a romantic image. Forget this year on the square nails and stilettos – they are in the past. Sharp and square nails can not want to weight your way. Permanently disappeared from the list of fashionable and very long fingernails. For the second consecutive year, the most popular medium-length nails. They are not only comfortable to wear, but they look great because of its naturalness.

As for color, but this year the most popular is “bed.” Following the collection of world fashion houses, noble shades moved and became the main colors of the fashionable manicure and pedicure. Colors hit this year: pink, white, berry and turquoise. For fans of classic style, perfect translucent shades that complement the understated style of clothing. It is still in vogue French manicure. For those who are not afraid of bold experiments, just for the soul will fall juicy pink and blue. All the rage this year – a tribute to the era of the ’70s, which dominates in the images created by almost all fashion designers from around the world. That style of “retro” with its snowy-white began this season, the most popular. The dark-colored paints, which were fashionable in the last season, is now relegated to the background.

The most fashionable nail design this year with rhinestones. The main rule – do not overdo it, and in any case not be used for the base paint in dark colors. For this purpose, would be more appropriate to either a light translucent lacquer. This year the main trends of manicure and pedicure – the elegance and sobriety.

2012 subdued fashion design manicure and pedicure strict rules according to which will be especially popular geometric patterns, and any remarks concerning the “hippies”.

Lovely doll – just this, according to designers to be the style of manicure and pedicure this year. Fatal to women, with their bright colors and long nails have to leave the podium until better times.

According to statistics, manicure – the most common procedure in which our women are not spoiled by the attention to himself, turning into the cabin. However, very few people manage to do it regularly once a week – namely, the frequency of such experts insist. In addition, the previous layer of paint over this time have time to peel and look ugly. Therefore, regular nail care needs. By the way, your nails grow by an average of 1 mm per week, updated completely for 6-7 months.

The form of the nails can tell a lot about its owner. If a woman from time to time selects round nails, it shows in the first of its vulnerability and susceptibility. Her apartment is crowded with trinkets dear to his heart. She dreams of a prince who will be able to understand its subtle quivering soul. And she, in turn, surround it the old-fashioned homey feel.

In contrast, square nails show a hard inflexible nature. Home idyll was not for her. Such a woman will show himself a good officer in any large company, it can be a journalist, working in hot spots, or a special investigator of the department.

Trapezoidal nails inherent complex and deep natures. At first glance, they appear cold, full of self-esteem ladies with high self-esteem. They are easy to maintain small talk on any subject, from the excavations of Herculaneum to the recent floods in Myanmar. But behind all this lies a thin and impressionable soul. Harmonize the two sides of the soul – this is her life goal.

And finally, the most common – rectangular nails. Their owner has already achieved harmony. She is a caring wife and mother, that does not prevent it from being an indispensable member of the firm. Her only weakness of the innocent – the love of gossip and excessive credulity.

Deciding to do a manicure yourself, check the consistency of their actions to what the experts have developed.

A. Remove the remnants of varnish. This simple procedure has long been popular because of the foul smell of acetone, which will haunt you for a long time. Fortunately, in recent years that do not contain acetone, the more so because it is harmful to the nails.

Two. Before the bath decorate your nails, giving them a nail file the required form. Polishing wet nails is undesirable because it can lead to breakage and delamination nail plate.

Three. Dip your fingers in warm water for 10-15 minutes. In the water you can add an infusion of herbs and any special tools, in their absence – a few drops of olive oil or moisturizing gel for the body.

4. Circumcision of the cuticle (tender film about the nail) may make only a specialist in the cabin. But lately, beauticians advise and did abandon this procedure: many familiar cuts, irritation and pain after the conference. Therefore, we recommend simply push softened cuticles special wooden stick, and in its absence – the edge of a warm towel.

Five. Do not forget to put on the nail base. Its function may be different depending on the defects of the nail plate – yellow, roughness, scaling, etc. Apply the first coat of varnish. At the same brush, draw a single movement from the beginning of the nail to the edge and back, and then, without adding any varnish  lateral surface. Blot the paint, got on the skin, dry cloth. Learn how to quickly and easily apply paint using the easiest mini-packages of paints, as a small brush can not be too wide to hold the line.

6. Wait 2-3 minutes and apply a second coat of varnish or fixative. We add that the clear coat with sequins, too, can be used in the function of a fixative.

This is a classic sequence of operations can be broken. For example, does not necessarily seek to paint the entire nail. Especially if you have short fat fingers (palm). One elegant line drawn along the length of the nail, optically “pull” the entire palm.

Presentation of modern stylists and beauticians to trendy nail color, quite radical. They offer bright and intense colors (red, cherry, black), or colorless, bright lacquers. In any case, no one has repealed the rules of elegance: the color of nail should be in harmony with the color of lipstick.

Recently, a lot of original jewelry polish. You can make a creative manicure, if:

- Spend a thin line painted a different color n

This is one of the most unpleasant (and, unfortunately, inevitable) changes in our skin. Stretch marks, or striae, occur due to reduced elasticity of the skin with a lack of collagen in it, which gives the skin firmness and elasticity. With age, collagen production decreases. After all, your body “thinks” that the volume of the body will remain unchanged. Not only abundant food, but the pregnancy, contribute to the formation of stretch marks. Moreover, if you decide to lose weight quickly, stretch marks appear not only on the abdomen, but the hands, hips, chest – anywhere you have lost weight. This means that the body is simply not had time to adjust to your new volume. Scientists have calculated that limit weight loss should not exceed a month more than 2% of the total body weight.

However, much depends on genetic predisposition. Stretch marks may well give you the inheritance of my mother or grandmother. In addition, the likelihood of stretch marks and defines the type of skin. European skin is thinner than, say, African women, so the risk of stretch marks in the first is greater than the second.

When our body increases or decreases in volume, on the surface of the skin there are tiny mechanical damage. The body “Terminates” its connective tissue, which has no pigment. First, it assumes a bright pink or red color, later, when the capillary die and the tissue loses water, is the familiar and highly visible white. These strips of white skin in the areas of stretch marks do not even tan.

Experts often recommend to prevent the appearance of stretch marks, rather than trying to get rid of them when they have arisen. To avoid or delay such changes of the skin, you need to eat more protein foods (lean meat, chicken, buckwheat porridge, fish, etc.). There are two proven home remedies for stretch marks: olive oil and vitamin E. Therefore, preparing for a baby and decided to lose weight, do not forget to rub every day of potentially dangerous areas, or oil applied to them vitamin E. Those who are skeptical of the easiest Drugs, experts suggest to try the latest drugs. In addition to vitamins and minerals in their composition, as a rule, consists of algae and other marine extracts, as well as a variety of oil: seed oil, shea butter and papaya, struggling with stagnation in the cells, oil, soy and nut  extracts of rosemary, geranium , soy, hops, and the essential oils of these plants

Blood supply and lymph circulation is enhanced, which promotes rapid healing of inflammation. The skin becomes more ruddy, and swelling of the face is greatly reduced.

Massage helps to increase the activity of sebaceous glands, which frees the skin from dirt, grease and dead horn cells. Also, depending on the type of massage, it can provide a stimulating and soothing effect on the nervous system. A facial massage certain areas can overcome the weakness and malaise. For example, for dizziness. Motion sickness and headaches need to massage the point, which is located at a distance of 1-2 cm from the center of the eyebrow.
