Epilation and depilation (Part 1)

February 18th, 2007 by webmaster

Today there are about ten methods of undesirable hair elimination: from become in short terms super known laser epilation up to unfamiliar to the sugaring. The aim of our article is to represent data on depilation and epilation in order to give the full information and allow you to choose the suitable method. The term epilation assumes influence on reproductive system of hair - a hair bulb, or a hair follicle. It means, that epilation foresees not only the removal of hair, but also the elimination of their superfluous growth. Through one or more often some procedures the quantity of hair bulbs decreases, due to what the constant effect is reached.
Depilation assumes the removal of hair without the influence on a hair follicle, though some influence on reproductive system of hair nevertheless is present. The difference is only that at wax depilation and other methods of hair plucking, the effect arises only some months later.
Laser epilation
Its principle consists in destroying influence of a laser beam on a hair follicle. It is known, that a pigment in a bulb cells absorbs light contain and collapses. Laser epilation is painless, owing to local, short in time (millisecond) influence and fast cooling. So, the basic advantage of this kind of epilation is an opportunity of carrying out of procedure in “zones of bikini”, auxiliary areas, on the face. The other doubtless advantage of laser epilation is the high factor of removal of hair (kill ratio) - the percent of hair the removed for ever for one procedure. The disadvantages of laser epilation are the existing restrictions at a light skin and light hair, and also its high cost in comparison with other methods. It depends on quantity of impulses of a laser beam that is in turn defined by the area of epilation, quantity of hair and their structure (at rigid, dark hair - is more expensive, at soft - is cheaper).

February 15th, 2007 by webmaster

Only 15 % of women prefer contraceptive tablets. Hormonal tablets have appeared only about 10-15 years ago, and, as all the new, have been apprehended with mistrust and vigilance. The majority of female fears are strongly exaggerated, especially if to speak about hormonal preparations of the third generation.
Difficulties of a choice
The combined oral contraceptives (COCs) may be monophase, biphasic and three-phase. Monophase COCs contain a constant doze of hormones: what a tablet you have taken, quantity of operating substances in it same, as well as in previous. Biphasic COCs simulate ovulation, therefore the first 10 tablets contain an estrogen, and in minimum quantities, and the others 11 - progestin component. So biphasic preparations need to be taken precisely under the scheme and to not to be changed at all their sequence. Three-phase contraceptives gradually increase a doze of gestations and estrogen, leading up it up to a maximum in the middle of a cycle and reducing before the menses. It is difficult to say which of these medicines works more effectively, in fact each woman has her own particular features the cycle. For example, if the organism has got used to strong hormonal jump in the middle of a cycle, the monophase preparations calculated on menses cycle without differences, will not approach it. The three-phase COCs are more often subscribed to such ladies - they allow direct the ovulation under that regime to which the organism has got already used.

Beautiful eyelashes

February 10th, 2007 by webmaster

As is known, eyes and eyelashes sharply react to polluted air, a dust and even on a make-up: eyes inflame and eyelashes become thin and lifeless… How can we protect them?
- It is necessary to do special procedures two times a day, in the morning and in the evening, for eyelashes and a skin around eyes. For the beginning we advise you to refuse from the soap. It is useful to wash rather with warm green tea or boiled water in the morning and then to humidify eyelids with a cream. In the evening, before night rest, you should clear eyes of a make-up. It is necessary to use only special means for make-up removing.
Before going sleep you should smear eyelashes with vitaminized balsams or oils for eyelashes and creams for skin around the eyes - they should be low-fat. Burdock, castor and rose oils contain in structure of the universal remedies for eyelashes and eyelids skin. The cream for the skin around eyes should be special. It is better to have two creams: one - gelatinous, and the second one - in the form of easy emulsion. In a warm season it is necessary to use a cream-gel in the morning, and in the evening - emulsion-cream. The rest of the cream should be carefully removed with a napkin - the cream which has remained for night, will inevitably cause puffiness in the morning.
How is it correctly to mass eyelids, rubring medical creams-balms?
- Massage is made with soft circular slight strokings by small pillows of fingers. You should start from an internal corner of an eye, then - to move on an upper eyelid in a direction to temples and on a lower eyelid and -again to a nose. Balms for eyelashes should be accurately rubred in edge of the eyelid by finger. Many modern balms and oils are issued in the form of transparent medical ink with a brush.
Preventive creams for eyelids and balms for eyelashes should be applied before the occurrence of the first wrinkles. If wrinkles have already appeared, choose creams with vitamins A, Е and liposomes.

Cosmetic peeling

February 9th, 2007 by webmaster

Despite of the age difference there are general rules of skin care and procedures which are necessary for all women.
Peelings are, certainly, on the first place. Each woman should regard peeling as natural as taking a shower in the morning. The so-known golden (either bronze, or chocolate) sunburn is an attempt of an organism to protect it from the harmful ultraviolet rays. So, the sunburn is keratin barrier to these rays. But it is also a barrier to all useful nutrients with which we try “to feed up” our skin, using various creams and cosmetic wheys. Therefore, buying a cream for 100 (and sometimes and more expensive) euro think over that in case at such keratin callousness presence on the skin (no matter, how nice it would be) only 5 % (or even less) of useful substances will be accepted by the skin.
How to raise the permeability of your skin? The answer is simple: make a peeling! Peeling is necessary for all women. Never try to save on this procedure; without a peeling any other influence will have much smaller effect, in other words, at least, a part of money you will throw out all for nothing.
What is the peeling? The mechanism of damage of the skin top layers removal by means of an acid is put into the basis of chemical peeling. In the result of this damage, protective and regenerative mechanisms of the skin are rejuvenated. Depending on depth of damage chemical peelings can be divided into superficial (within the limits of a horn layer), median (concerning all depth of epidermis, up to papillary skin layer) and deep (with damage of the papillary skin layer).
Don’t be mistaken - even a superficial peeling can’t be done at home. At home you will only carry out cosmetician’s recommendations on preparation for peeling or on after-peeling care procedures. It is only the expert who will manage to make competent diagnostics of your skin and develop your individual plan on peeling procedures.
