Different epochs dictated different standards of female beauty. How they did they eventually vary?
Antique times brought the first cult of beauty. A concept of ideal beauty was in harmoniously combined body, smooth lines of the breast, the expressed waist and wide hips. Sculptors of that time modeled only such figures. For example, the proportions of the well-known Venus are 86-69-93 at 164 cm. growth.
In X-XII a century Europe the new ideal of beauty was generated. Troubadours glorified fragile, pale ladies, defenseless and helpless on a kind. Everything, beginning from high growth and finishing a high forehead, came into fashion. Ladies shaved off a part of the hair framed the face in order to open their forehead. To make the neck seem longer and thin, the nape was shaved. Thin hands, long fingers and long legs were appreciated.
The only paradoxical thing was the fact that the standard of beauty meant noticeable, big stomach. Those ladies, whom the nature has awarded with a flat stomach, have also found a way out. They put the special platen simulating the increased stomach under the dress.
In the Medieval Europe reined the rigid orders established by Catholic Church. The physical beauty was considered sinful. Therefore women put on the dresses, almost completely hiding a figure.
But even during those uneasy times there was a standard of beauty. It was a harmonious woman, neither thin, nor plum. Diminutiveness was highly appreciated. Everything should be small - growth, hands, foot, breast.
After strict times the era of the Revival time has come. Magnificent bodies have started to be appreciated. Plum hands, wide hips and magnificent breast were considered as special advantages. Smooth bends of a body were emphasized as much as possible - by means of special breed of a dress, deep décolleté and short sleeves.
In the end of XVI century in Italy style of a baroque which in XVII century has grasped practically all Europe has appeared. The fashion included luxury, pretentiousness and airs and graces. Time of so-called doll beauty has come.
Women should remind fragile figurines. The standard of appeal meant the unreal thin waist, small head on a long “swan” neck, sloping shoulders and a small breast.
Some ladies starved themselves because of constant under eating.
Finally the XX century has come - it is time of emancipation. Women began to go in for sports and give a maximum of attention to the physical activity. There was an absolutely other standard of female beauty - the sunburn, well developed muscular system, self-confidence and self-sufficiency.

In vain many people think that a pedicure is a haughty manners and waste of money and time. Knowingly this word has ancient Latin roots (pedis - a leg, cure - leaving).
First of all, the pedicure removes weariness of legs. We mean the weariness, which has been accumulated for long cold and not solar months. It is not pathos exaggeration. Everyone knows - the majority of women save on a pedicure in winter months. We are always having either a lack of money, or a lack of time. And it is necessary to look for other clause of economy if, certainly, you would not like that legs have given out the truth about you - about your hygiene, health, taste and habits, and greed in the summer when the closed footwear is replaced by the easy open sexy barefoot.
What will be, if you, for example, do not clean teeth for a week? Of course, you don’t even want to think about this horror. And, meanwhile, stockings, socks, stockings and the other synthetics, incorrectly picked up footwear by the “beautifully and fashionably” principle, bring many uncomfortable sensations to our legs.
Beauty salons usually offer on a choice some variants: classical, European, hardware and SPA-pedicure. In a cold season our legs suffer from sweating, in the summer - from dryness. As the result we receive the coarsened skin, cracks, and calluses. Do not think that washing of legs by gel, on which the inscription “Thalassotherapy” is written, will save the situation. The pedicure is more, than washing of legs and a covering of nails with nail polish; it is also a high-grade care of stops, fingers and the skin of your legs.

Infantilism is not an early age, but it is a state of the soul. If you are cheerful, as the child, and relatives love you for spontaneity, charm and naughty shine, your style can be named as bаbу-girl. Fresh and innocent-grassy notes in ensemble with water-melon aroma, as in “Into the Blue” from Escada, “Cherie” by Dior or “True Star Gold” by Tommy Hilfiger are ideally combined with a coquettish smile, playful sight and R&B rhythms.
It is possible to be even a naughty child in good sense of a word; you may to be capricious and tease the customs of prudish snobs. If all this is about you then you are a real “еnfant terriblle”. Then you should complete your image with extravagant “Addict 2″! And if you want something especial, glance on a show-window of Givenchy house. A last year’s hit of this mark - “Very Irresistible” - is still in a fashion owing to the of an impudent composition and if the soul asks a novelty it is necessary to pay attention to “Ange ou Demon”. In this aroma the oak and a lily symbolize two lines - man’s and female characters, pleasure and melancholy, sin and virginity. It is high time for you to intrigue your partner with a duality of the nature!
The sweet-erotic aromas’ fans are the real temptresses. Such women should bravely choose sweetish-east fleur and creation “Maitresse” by Agent Provocateur with their languid shades of pink pepper and lotus. Ladies inclined to mysticism, are to choose “Hypnose”. These spirits in the X-shaped bottle will tame interest to white and black magic for ever and will establish an absolute authority of the sexual magic, capable to hypnotize even the most conservative man.
Romantic girls prefer the refine fragrance of exotic colors. “KenzoAmour” with its unique Asian smack of vanilla and dairy rice, but without vulgar sweet will help you to create you the “pink glasses” image. Gentle flower notes are audible in new “Forever and Ever” aroma by Dior.
When we say Chanel we mean classics. Next perfumery premier of this brand with the label “the true glamour” is already born. The magnificent aromas have successfully gone through test by time and 2Chance”, “Allure” and “Allure Sensuelle”, “Coco Mademoiselle” and “№19″ are still remain popular.

All vitamins are necessary for our beauty. But which of them is the most important?
Perhaps, vitamin A or Retinolum is a basic vitamin for the skin. It carries out a set of the major functions in an organism. Retinolum is necessary for formation, development of skin cells and mucous membranes of our organism. This vitamin provides normal moisture and updating of cells, accelerates processes of healing, stimulates formation of own substances in the skin, for example, it provides collagen formation. Such vitamin’s A feature is successfully used in structure of medical products at treatment of various skin diseases and for maintenance of nutritious and updating effect in cosmetic means.
Vitamin A is always added into cosmetic means in the form of various derivatives that provides best “penetration” into the skin for maintenance of necessary effect. For example, pure Retinolum in a complex with collagen Retinol oils are widely used for preparing of ani-age cosmetic creams.
Widely advertised rejuvenating effect of creams with vitamin A has already been proved. First of all, vitamin A in structure of a cream accelerates cellular updating and young sections take the place on the skin surface. Therefore the first effect which is observed at application of similar creams is the improvement of complexion.
Our skin consists of several “floors”. Three basic skin layers are: epidermis (the top layer), mesoderm (an average layer) and hypoderma (the deepest layer). New skin cells are formed in deep layers and in process of maturing move ahead to the top skin layer - to the epidermis. Such process normally lasts for about 28 days. Under the Retinolum and other substances with similar action influence the process of new cells formation is considerably accelerated, that is why cells have no time to grow old.
In cosmetology peeling on the basis of the Retinolum effect is done. The other vitamin’s A effect is increase in development of own collagen which so is necessary in struggle against skin ageing. Collagenic fibres is skin internal “skeleton”, it provides precise contours of the face which are, unfortunately, lost with the age. Collagenic fibres form a network located almost on all surface of the skin. Elasticity and a youth of the skin depend on these structures condition. At constant application of creams to vitamin A in structure of there is a gradual updating collagenic structures and fastening of this effect.
The ceams, containing vitamin A, are recommended for improvement of a complexion, disposal of any skin problem or wrinkles’ correction.

The messages that milk in general is harmful for the adults more often appear in mass-media. Why is it so?
The whole milk “opponents” approve, that at all mammals milk is drunk only by cubs. Only the human, growing old, continues to use it.
It is established, that many adult inhabitants of Asia, Africa, the Southern Europe and Latin America experience difficulties with digestion of this drink. The problem is that lactose - dairy sugar is badly acquired by their organism. And those substances which completely were not digested, become the reason of gastro enteric frustration, swellings of a stomach and a diarrhea. And ability to mastering milk is lost gradually, in process of person’s maturing.
However at the majority of of Northern and Central Europe do not face such problems. Dairy sugar is digested completely both in young and in old age by their organism. This feature is genetically caused. For this reason milk is so popular in these regions.
The second reason, on which milk has got in disgrace, is its high caloric content and high cholesterol maintenance.
But people grow fat not because of milk, but of the fat containing in it. Therefore the opinion, that milk is counter-indicative to elderly or fat people, is also incorrect. The person inclined to a set of weight, is recommended to choose milk with small percent of fat content - 1-1, 5 %, instead of 5-6 %. Then milk will bring only vitamins and health to the organism.

Before the operation it is necessary to define a kind and the size of an artificial limb together with the doctor. Today there are a lot of types depending on filling material. It can be cohesive gel, a physiological or oil solution.
Artificial limbs with a physiological solution or oil remind a natural mammary gland. At movement some women marked squelching sounds which were caused by the artificial limb with physiological filling material. At artificial limb environment break out, the contents pour out, but it is safe for an organism.
The cohesive gel is similar to a natural fabric of a mammary gland. That is important, because at a trauma or break the artificial limb gel does not flow out. Now the artificial limbs are filled with silicone; such artificial limbs are the most perfect and their full is safety even confirmed at pregnancy and breast feeding.
Victim of the beauty
The majority of women get accustomed to the artificial limb of a mammary gland; however, it can be toned away by an organism because of individual intolerance. Unfortunately, it is practically impossible to find out in advance whether the artificial limb will get accustomed or not. In case of tearing away it should be removed. Before operation the doctor by all means should inform you about all possible complications.
The artificial limbs manufacturers give a lifelong guarantee on their products. If something happens to the artificial limb, you will be offered a free of charge operation. Doctors say that women use artificial limbs for 8 12 years-without any problems.
The capsular contracture development (condensation around of an artificial limb) is one of the negative consequences of the breast augmentation operation. It is one of the possible organism’s reactions to an alien body.
Integrity of an artificial limb can be broken in the result of a trauma. It is necessary to tell, that a trauma of a breast is potential danger of all kinds of artificial limbs. In this case the artificial limb is being immediately removed.

Desire to have a breast of the correct form is quite natural. We buy expensive creams, we go on cosmetic procedures, we greedily study handbills and we trust in miracles of non-conventional medicine which ostensibly augment the breast. But in practice all these ways do not give desirable results. Certainly, it is useful to moisture skin of your breast with a good cream in order to keep it soft and elastic and it is also necessary to try a course of special medical products of the external action, modeling masks which will strengthen mammary glands, will raise their tone and elasticity. Nevertheless is practically impossible to change essentially the form of a breast or to augment it even on a half-size in such ways.
Breast augmentation by means of conducting the silicone gel is being widely advertised. It is necessary to concern with the big care to this procedure as gel can migrate in other sites of a body because unlike artificial limbs it is not concluded in an environment. Thus, if gel will be displaced (that inevitably) it will be possible to remove it only by surgical way. So those who hope thus to find a magnificent breast are extremely risking.
The oncologists are actively acting against the introduction of gel. At breast inspections concerning the silicone gel it is impossible to identify caner. The doctor cannot distinguish gel from a fibroma. Both roentgen and ultrasound show only the fact of change in structure of the breast.
Any plastic surgeon will tell that it is possible to augment the form of the breast only surgical way. This saving way refers to the endoprosthesis or the so-known mammoplastics.
Before the operation you should hand over a number of obligatory analyses, to remove the electrocardiogram and , if it is necessary, to execute some more required procedures. On preliminary consultation it is necessary to inform the surgeon on the earlier operations and available diseases of internal bodies, about all operations, made to you, and about the allergic reactions.
