MAIN POST HERE And today we are talking about body care. I think this question interests everyone)))

Body care has a lot in common with facial skin care. The body also needs to be cleansed, moisturized, nourished, massaged, toned, etc. so that our skin remains firm, elastic and beautiful for many years. The difference in caring for facial skin and body skin is that more aggressive cosmetics are used for the body, since the skin on the body is much thicker and rougher than on the face. High-quality body care at home cannot do without cleansing. With regular and systematic care, your skin will remain elastic, elastic and velvety for a long time. What is needed for this? At a minimum: - good sleep; - rational, balanced nutrition; - systematic sports activities; - properly selected cosmetics. Some people choose the services of a cosmetologist, although body care at home will be no less effective. Body care at home: 1) cleanse the skin of the body, i.e. take a bath or shower. If previously soap was used for these water procedures, which dried out the skin, now it is successfully replaced by shower gel. It has a more gentle effect, maintains a normal pH balance of the skin, perfectly moisturizes it and is suitable for daily use. Any representative of the fair sex can choose the effect of the gel and her favorite scent on her own. Baths play one of the most important roles in body care. After all, water not only cleanses our body of sweat and dirt, it relieves fatigue, tones and invigorates, gives energy and a feeling of comfort, freshness and renewal. Water makes the skin silky, velvety and elastic. And together with herbal extracts, aromatic oils and other healthy additives, it simply works wonders (and you feel like a goddess). What can you add to your bath? A bath with salt (sea salt) is the easiest option. Sea salt contains the entire complex of minerals necessary for a beneficial and healing effect on the body, giving it a pleasant feeling of freshness and comfort. The healing properties of sea salt: analgesic effect, anti-inflammatory effect, increases the activity of tissues and organs, participation in metabolic processes (restructuring). Fill the bath with warm water, add 200g of salt. You need to take this bath for 15 minutes. Bath with soda and salt for weight loss: 300 grams of salt and 100 grams of soda should be dissolved in warm water. Then lie down in the bath. Duration of the procedure: 10-15 minutes. Next, we rinse and go to bed for an hour. One bath: minus 300 grams Bath of mint leaves Used for fatigue, obesity, and toning. Take 200 grams of mint, pour 4 liters of boiling water and leave for 1 hour. Bath with essential oils Essential oils have long been successfully used to strengthen cell membranes, accelerate metabolic processes and improve skin regeneration. Aroma oils help improve the nutrition of skin cells and increase muscle tone. For cellulite, the following esters are recommended: orange, lemon, tangerine, grapefruit, rosemary, bergamot, pine, juniper, sandalwood. Essential oils should be thoroughly mixed with a glass of kefir and dissolved in water. Duration of the procedure: 20 minutes. Water temperature: 37C.

Cleopatra's Bath For the bath, heat 1 liter of milk (do not bring to a boil). Then melt 100 grams of honey, pour it into the milk and stir thoroughly. Before taking a bath, mix 350 grams of fine salt with sour cream and rub thoroughly into the skin using circular movements. Then wash. Next, pour the mixture of honey and milk into a bath of water. Duration of the procedure: 15-20 minutes. Salt cleanses the skin, milk and honey relieve fatigue and nervous tension, rejuvenate the skin. And if you also add aromatic candles?)))

2) use a body scrub - no more than once or twice (before or after using the gel) a week. With its help, you can easily cleanse the skin - remove dead and keratinized skin particles. The scrub is applied with light circular movements; You need to start applying the scrub from your feet and gradually work your way up the body. People with very dry skin, as well as those whose skin is prone to irritation, should use the scrub with caution. It is not recommended to use the scrub immediately after epilation or shaving. In order not to overload the post, you can look at recipes for body scrubs here and here. 3) we use products to prevent and combat cellulite. Their use will nourish the skin, moisturize it and improve its structure. Let's find out what they are. Typically, such products include: - mineral salts (promote the removal of toxins); — extracts of various plants (help improve metabolic processes; help reduce weight); - caffeine (participates in the breakdown of fat); — essential oils (improve and increase metabolic processes; help in removing harmful substances from the body). Cellulite is one of the most common metabolic disorders, which affects mainly women. Its first signs can appear as early as adolescence, it usually worsens during pregnancy, and haunts us throughout our lives! So what is cellulite and is it possible to fight it? Cellulite is nothing more than a violation of water-fat metabolism; it is a real disease, with symptoms, degree of damage and treatment methods.

Causes and stages of cellulite: There are many reasons for the occurrence of cellulite, including heredity, metabolic disorders, a tendency to gain excess weight, hormonal disorders, a sedentary lifestyle, the wrong choice of underwear and clothing, lack of physical activity, pregnancy. Cellulite is distinguished by the degree of manifestation, and very often it can appear from the initial stage and increase to the final stage. But in some cases it remains in the initial stages all his life. The very first stage of cellulite is characterized by compaction of fatty tissue, small, barely noticeable lumps under the skin, which are visible only when the muscles are tense. The second stage is accompanied by swelling, unpleasant sensations when touched and increasing irregularities. The third stage is manifested by the formation of a persistent “orange peel”, the outflow of lymph is difficult, and there is stagnation of blood in the capillaries. Inflamed skin is quickly injured, and bruises do not go away for a long time. At the fourth stage, the tuberosity is more obvious even without compression of the skin, the connective tissue grows, and dense formations are formed - cellulite stones. Measures against cellulite must be adequate, that is, correspond to the stage of cellulite damage. You should not think that only hardware cosmetology in expensive salons can cope with its manifestations. We will tell you how to get rid of cellulite at home. Today, it is possible and necessary to fight cellulite at home - and not only with the help of special compositions for body wraps, anti-cellulite creams and massagers, but also with the help of folk remedies, thanks to which, even before the very concept of “cellulite” appeared, our great-grandmothers kept their skin smooth and smooth. smooth! There are many beauty recipes aimed at eliminating the manifestations of cellulite, and among them, in the first place are medical procedures - procedures that have amazing decongestant, absorbable and restorative properties. Honey not only nourishes the skin and moisturizes it, but also restores microcirculation of blood and lymph. That is why it is effectively used for wraps, masks and rubbing. Coffee, chocolate, white clay and kelp have similar properties. All of the listed ingredients can be used for wraps with a thermal effect, which is achieved by applying food-grade thermal film over the composition. Honey anti-cellulite massage Honey anti-cellulite massage at home is a very effective procedure, the effect is quite similar to a salon massage. After it, cellulite disappears for a long time, thighs lose weight. However, a honey massage is quite painful, and sensitive people may end up with bruises after it! You need to do 10 massage procedures, they are done every other day. You will need natural honey and essential oils (it is best to take citrus fruits - lemon, orange, petitgrain, tangerine). Honey anti-cellulite massage at home is done like this: take 2 tablespoons of honey, drop 20 drops of essential oils into it (you can combine, for example, take 10 drops of lemon and 10 drops of orange oil), stir. Now apply the mixture thickly to the areas affected by cellulite. After application, glue the palms and peel them off. It's quite painful to peel off, but that's the whole point. We process the entire area from bottom to top. Then we go along it again, and so on until the honey becomes completely viscous and white. Do not hurry. After the honey massage procedure, wash off the honey and apply any anti-cellulite cream for greater effect. It should be added that the results from using anti-cellulite products can only be seen if you use them day after day and for more than one week in a row. You can choose different products for different areas of the body - for the buttocks and thighs, for the abdomen, for the chest. Any nourishing cream can be applied to areas of the body that have not received replenishment in the form of anti-cellulite products. 4) where are we without hydration) The skin needs hydration all year round, its hydro-lipid balance is tested by heat, ultraviolet radiation, salty sea water, drying wind, air conditioning, heating in winter. Of course, you should be guided by your skin type. For dry skin, a product with a thicker consistency is suitable; for oily skin, a gel-like or powdery texture. In summer, it is especially important to protect your skin from the sun, so don't discount light creams and moisturizing sprays with SPF. Lovers of water treatments should remember that a cool shower not only refreshes well, but also noticeably dries the skin, and therefore a moisturizer should be applied every time after bathing. Excess hair Excess hair is a strange joke of nature, a reminder to civilized people that they were once savages. In order to resemble their wild ancestors as little as possible, unnecessary hair has to be constantly removed. Laser and photoepilation are advertised as an absolutely reliable method of permanently removing hair without pain, but during a consultation it usually turns out that this procedure gives a good long-term effect, but to completely destroy all excess hair it is necessary to repeat it many times (no one will tell you in advance how many), and it costs very much. It is cheaper and more reliable to remove hair from the legs and thighs once and for all with the help of professional electrolysis, during which a cosmetologist sequentially destroys each hair follicle with electrical impulses, practically burning it. This is a slightly painful procedure, and you will also need to go through it more than once, but it’s still worth deciding on it to get rid of excess hair once and for all. Removing hair at home with an electric epilator is not the same. Here, the hair is simply pulled out from the roots using a special apparatus, as in the procedure for hair removal using wax. Unfortunately, plucked hair grows back after some time. There is a whole arsenal of chemical depilators in the form of pastes, creams, and sprays. The chemical method is the fastest, easiest and completely painless, but depilatories dry out the skin quite a lot. It’s up to you to decide which method of getting rid of unwanted hair, but don’t walk around with grown prickly “stumps,” otherwise your husband might want to stroke your leg at that very moment. He will experience such a specific sensation))) It is difficult to fight nature, but a civilized woman will not show off her legs until she gets them in order. If you use a razor, then use shaving gel. If you don’t have gel/foam on hand, you can use hair conditioner. Do not shave against the direction of hair growth; you will cause irritation and ingrown hairs.

Bikini design Bikini design (intimate hairstyles) is a direction in the art of decorating the human body, which consists in the care and decoration of intimate areas on the human body, creating intimate hairstyles in the bikini area. They perform bikini design in beauty salons. Most often, such rooms are opened at fitness clubs, beauty and health centers. Psychologically, bikini design has a beneficial effect on a person, instilling a feeling of confidence and comfort. The procedure for performing a bikini design: ■ hygienic treatment of the bikini design area; ■ choosing an intimate haircut model; ■ choice of colors and decorations; ■ preliminary shortening of hair length; ■ allergy test; ■ lightening hair and preparing it for coloring; ■ working with several colors on a picture; ■ hair coloring; ■ depilation of the bikini area; ■ treatment of the bikini area after depilation; ■ decorating hairstyles with decorative elements. There are catalogs containing more than a hundred men's and women's intimate haircuts. In Europe there are several periodicals that publish new products with descriptions of the technique of their execution, just think! We do this at home. You will need a sharp razor, a cosmetic pencil and, of course, a battlefield - regrown vegetation. It would be nice to also get a trimmer (you can borrow one from your man). Decide on a drawing. Start with simple designs - stripes, circles. Take a shower or bath to soften coarse pubic hair. If you have a trimmer, use it to trim your hair – it will be shorter and neater. Apply a design to the skin using a pencil, adjusting the result in the mirror. Carefully shave everything along the outline of the design. If possible, shave in the direction of hair growth. Now thoroughly wash your bikini area of ​​shaving cream and pencil. Use a suitable anti-irritant. Ready! Choosing intimate cosmetics Everyone understands the importance of special care for the genitals. In addition to external importance (smell, for example), this issue has much more important aspects, for example, health - discomfort or even disruption of normal female reproductive functions. Female genital organs have special characteristics - microflora, acid-base balance. Violation of all established parameters can be caused not only by failure to comply with hygiene rules, but also by the use of inappropriate intimate cosmetics. Or not with intimate cosmetics at all, but with ordinary products not specifically selected for a woman’s intimate organs. The purpose of intimate cosmetics is to cleanse and tone the vagina. Some products from the line of intimate cosmetics also have an antiseptic effect and/or can deodorize the intimate environment. Intimate gels/foams Recommended for mandatory daily use as they have moisturizing and toning properties. In addition, it is the gels that are usually based on extracts of various plants and oils, which gives intimate gels pronounced bactericidal properties. Experts say that, for example, after a certain time the fungus gets used to almost all the useful components of intimate cosmetics. In addition to Australian tea tree oil, which is widely used in intimate cosmetics and is often included in intimate gels. Intimate soaps A good intimate soap (and all other intimate cosmetics) should not contain components of ordinary soap that cause vaginal dysbiosis (disturbance of normal microflora), leading to other diseases and other unpleasant odors. Soap can be either bar or liquid. However, we note that liquid soap (not only intimate soap) is considered more hygienic, since foreign elements (dust, germs, dirt from hands) do not accumulate on it. The soap contains antiseptic additives that prevent certain diseases (green tea, ylang-ylang, calendula, tea tree oil, chamomile). Often intimate soaps contain extracts of various herbs, minerals, etc., which have an additional positive effect on the mucous membrane, tissue and microflora of the vagina. Intimate wipes, sprays They are used mainly as additional intimate care products. Intimate wipes for cleansing when other methods are not available (for example, on a train). Intimate sprays can, among other things, also have a deodorizing effect, since they do not contain alcohol (at all). Lubricants Most lubricants are used, of course, in sexual activity, preventing possible discomfort caused by the lack of proper self-hydration of the vagina. However, lubricants also have an anti-infective effect, moisturize the vaginal mucosa and even have some therapeutic functions. Some lubricants can have a positive effect on erections, not only for you, but also for your partner. Like any other product from the intimate cosmetics arsenal, lubricants maintain intimate microflora in a healthy state. Remember that if you have diseases of the external genitalia, the use of intimate cosmetics is a must. In addition, the use of special intimate cosmetics does not cancel or change the rules of personal hygiene and the basic rules of daily washing, for example. The fact that intimate cosmetics appeared on the market relatively recently does not make it a “delicacy” and “the preserve of the elite.”
