Feng Shui interior: get rid of negative energy in your house!

When it seems that some invisible forces destroy your plans, and good luck left you absolutely, do not hasten to despair! Address to Feng Shui. Probably, it is destructive Sha energy which filled premises, where you live and work.

According to Feng Shui, all space round us is filled by numerous power streams. But there are only two kinds of energy in them: positive energy Chi (a symbol of development and prosperity) and negative energy Sha (a symbol of stagnation and decline). It is clear that one cannot exclude Sha energy from our life completely and make Chi energy a unique motive power. But you still can observe certain balance between these energies, at which you will feel harmony with world around.

It is harmonious balance of Sha and Chi energies that makes human life happy and successful. Whereas prevalence of any energy can transform human life into torture. It is considered, for example, that surplus of Chi energy makes one aggressive, nervous, irritable, generates also such not palatable condition as sleeplessness. In its turn, surplus of Sha energy transforms person into languid, depressive being which is in dozing (if not to tell half-dead) condition, a being which cannot live actively, resist problems and achieve purposes.

What is Sha?

According to ancient Chinese legends, Sha energy is “poisoned arrows”, negative forces, destructive streams, which (when directed on you) oppress, weaken, destroy your own power.

Sha is a notorious Chinese dragon with tongues of flame, devouring all on his way, an immortal monster which cannot be killed, an invisible phantom which lives in each house. Sha is many-sided and disappears under different masks.

Sha energy sources

Sources of negative Sha energy exist both outside, and in premises.

The most widespread Sha source – a straight road. Ancient Chineses believed that evil ghosts can move only on a straight line. Therefore traditionally in the East they do not construct straight roads, bridges and if direct direction cannot be avoided, this is somehow compensated decoratively.

Other Sha sources:
• acute angles. From such corners “poisoned Sha arrows” go to a person. Same corners exist also in columns with square section.

• hanging subjects. These are both excessively high houses adjoining your house, and canopies, beams in premises, hinged shelves and so forth.

• “dead” zones. These are zones, where there is no movement, air, life: cluttered up spaces, dirty, dusty, spoilt subjects, cracks, not aired sites of a premise etc.

As it is considered that Sha energy directed on a person influences quality of his life negatively, theere are ways of Sha neutralisation: take it away from premises, weaken its action, resist its force.

How to be protected from external Sha influence?

Look round houses, where you live and work attentively. Whether there is a direct road to the house, other houses’ acute angles directed on a building? And whether heaps of dust or garbage containers are visible? It is also bad, if there are hospitals, factory pipes and cemeteries in a visibility range.

It is clear that you cannot exclude external Sha, but it can be neutralised, in full or in part. And for this purpose there are some ways.

The easiest one - to make Sha sources “invisible”, then, according to Feng Shui, they will cease existing for you. You can curtain windows, if this won’t damage illumination in a given premise (for example if it is a bedroom). But there is also other way - to reflect Sha by means of Bagua mirror, which is hung up in a window niche, and this way poisoned arrows are directed in other side.

And the most effective way to eliminate Sha influence — a barrier on a way of “poisoned arrows”, creating something like a calmness zone in front of entrance in a building. This function is carried out by quite ordinary things: lanterns (light destroys Sha), benches, avenues, flower beds. And if you can change space near the house, affect it.

Entrance door serves as a basic Sha source in a premise.

How to block Sha input in a premise?

OUTSIDE
If from the lift and ladder direction to an entrance door goes on a straight line, change it by means of additional designs or decorative subjects. As to entrance door. First of all, its size should be approached to developed standards - not too small and not too big. It is very important, that door loops would not creak, as this frightens off Chi and attracts Sha. A door jamb has great value - it should be proportional, without cracks, scratches and other damages (timely repair is not only a tribute to aesthetics, but also Fengh Shui rule феншуй). Space at an entrance door should be free, shined, pleasant to an eye. Take care that doorbell melody would not be not sharp, but causing positive emotions.

INSIDE
A corridor should be spacious enough. If it does not allow a lay-out, increase corridor space visually by means of a mirror. If a corridor is very long and narrow, hang a picture or other decorative ornaments on walls, to expand it visually and make movement of streams not so prompt. A corridor should be shined well, better with wind music, hand bells – things that interfere Sha and create Chi. According to Feng Shui rules, you should not be see from a hall those places, where Sha concentrates territorially - toilet, plates, bowls, pipes. If you see them, you should necessarily disguise them with plants or screen.

How to correct internal Sha action?

Indoors “poisoned Sha arrows” are created by ceiling beams, acute angles of walls and furniture, hanging shelves, acute-angled columns, ledges on walls and even prickles of cactuses! Dried up flowers, dirty ware, dust, spoilt subjects – these are also sources of Sha energy.

To neutralise internal Sha, use following ways:
• do vacuum and damp cleaning regularly, without supposing congestion of dust, web, dirt, formation of stuff “blockages”
• do not leave dirty ware, crumbs on a floor and tables after meal
• take out dust every evening
• water drain, bowls, cranes and toilet bowl should be serviceable, so that Sha would not stay in them
• in a bedroom: do not sleep feet to an exit, never leave bed untidy
• do not keep stuffed animals, skin, dried flowers, branches in a premise
• get rid of prickly cactuses, their sharp needles radiate Sha
• remove dry flowers from a vase
• periodically throw out old, unnecessary things from a premise
• air (but without draughts) premises daily

If you cannot get rid of internal Sha sources, their action should be weakened:

• keep doors in a bathroom and toilet closed (toilet bowl should be covered by lid)
• hang out, place natural flowers in pots, decorative subjects of interior on ledges, corners or near to them
• suspend Chinese bamboo sticks tied up by red ribbons or flutes to ceiling beams

Add Chi in counterbalance to Sha

The most harmonious role in balance of Chi and Sha is played by pets. Especially cats. They are unique, as well as plants, that simultaneously absorb carbonic gas and give oxygen, and cats feed themselves with Sha, and fill premise with Chi.

Powerful barrier for Sha and source of Chi are: pure water, light, mirrors and other reflecting subjects, wind and moving subjects, live plants, pleasant smells and sounds. Therefore, wind music (better with six hollow tubules), various hand bells, 6 connected Chinese coins, Bagua mirror (an octagon with a mirror in the centre), figurines of lions of Buddha are traditionally used in a premise interior. To improvement of harmony and house power they also use: aromatic sticks and cones, crystal pendant, sphere or pyramid, fan as a decorative detail, handiworks from natural materials.

Feng Shui art is remarkable as it not just puts a problem, but also offers clear and accessible to everyone methods, allowing to solve it. Try to protect your house and office from negative Sha energy, and you will see - favorable changes in all areas of your life will not keep themselves waiting!

New Year image: tips

We have already little time till Christmas and New Year holidays 2009 year. And when there is one day to New year, we usually forget about ourselves. We apply make-up and set hair convulsively, snatching a minute from all other fussing affairs. This can be avoided, if you follow some rules.

“Try on” a New Year celebratory make-up in advance. Those who plan addressing a stylist-visagiste, should better visit a salon earlier, to be assured of master. And those, who prefer applying cosmetics independently, should rehearse make-up and estimate, how it is combined on colour with a New Year dress.

* Sparkling body cream, spangles or flickering powder will give hands and decollete zone smooth and seductive look. Take advantage of stylists-visagistes ‘ secret - apply some friable powder under eyes, when you accentuate them. And even if mascara and shadows are showered in the course of make-up, you will brush all lumps away together with powder.

* If at drawing of celebratory make-up you are going to take advantage of some new means, for example spangles, flickering creams etc., necessarily try them on skin, to be convinced of allergy absence. Besides, it is important to understand, how long-lasting decorative cosmetics is. If in an hour spangle showered, and shades lost colour, possibly, it is necessary to trust in more habitual means.

* Wave for eyelashes. Curling tongs for eyelashes are not very popular among us. And in vain — this tool is capable to make a sight really open and visually extend eyelashes. It is especially useful to those who has allergy on mascara and whose eyelashes lost colour because of frequent colouring. Nippers will not cause harm to eyelashes, if you use them correctly. Simply place eyelashes between plates and press for 10 seconds. Do not extend an eyelash and do not paint them before twisting.

* Do not postpone visiting of hairdressing salon for last day. There is a chance that you will not like a hairdress or colour and will need time time to correct everything. Besides, during last days of expiring year salons always have many visitors and masters get tired very much. .

* If you do setting independently, wash up head with protective balm or take advantage of a hair-dye. It will allow removing static charge, make hair more obedient. Make manicure in the morning after wash and breakfast. Later you can just forget about it. And under the pretext of cosmetic procedures it will be possible to stretch minutes of quiet awakening (which will be reflected in your state of health at night by all means). Correct form of eyebrows since morning, at a daylight and in quiet mood. Do not try to change your image cardinally - just give your face more accurate look.

* Do not apply make-up since morning. Allow face having rest before a hard night in a full make-up. Do not forget to prepare cosmetics, which is required to you for the evening. To avoid forgetting necessary things, lay out all necessary on a toilet table. Do not be surprised at such foresight: professional actresses and visagistes act this way.

* If you are going to sleep in the afternoon on the day of celebration, do not drink much liquid before it (especially alcohol) and do not eat salty food, not to have swollen face. Day rest should not exceed three hours, differently by the evening, most likely, you will feel tired and broken.

* Take advantage of intensive humidifying cream, but do not apply decorative cosmetics right after it. Allow cream being absorbed and blot face with a napkin, so that skin would not shine. Do not forget to put a nutritious cream on your body. After rest, pay attention to hair necessarily. Even if master made a set for you the day before, you still will have to correct a hairdress slightly. To make face looking fresh and humidified by the morning, give it some water. We should not only try to drink as much liquid as possible, (mineral water and juice). You also can humidify skin from outside.

Remain always beautiful, but remember: as you meet a New year – the same way you will spend it!

6 types of love: find your one!

Love, love – how much you hear in this word and how much you feel in this feeling! People have been trying to find it out, explain, realise for centuries… And still Aristotle allocated 6 types of love. Much changed since those times, mankind stepped far forward, well, and love remained invariable!

So, let’s consider each type, behavior of man, feeling given type of love, and also think of things to expect from such man.

Agape - sacrificial love. A man who understands this feeling as self-return, will make everything so that his loved one feel good.

How he behaves. Most likely, he dated you for a long, before making a declaration of love. You notice he never demands anything in reply to his feeling, it is completely disinterested. As a rule, your partner can tell: “I will give you the last penny” and so forth.

What you can expect from him. Such love, of course, has a set of pluses. A man constantly endowing himself and his interests for the sake of yours, causes trust and respect. But no more. As a rule, total care starts bothering. You would like passions, but, alas, a man incurs a role of “loving daddy”. This is, certainly, pleasant, but does not promote sexual desire. And as a man does not demand any return from you, you start appreciating him ever less. Generally speaking, he imposes his care on you, constantly aspires to learn your thoughts, desires, control them.

Ludus - so-called love-game. It is based first of all on sexual desire.

How he behaves. Such man does not trouble himself with courtings. After all, he considers that sexual desire to woman is the best acknowledgement of his love. As a rule, “stickings” begin on the first appointment. He does not try learning you as a person, each refusal “to get acquainted closer” is perceived as personal insult, can cause angry rebuff of type: “So why we communicate with you?!” The longer a woman keeps such man at arm’s length, the colder he becomes - after all, he thinks, if a woman does not want a man, this means, she is not interested in him. By the way, you can notice that except you such gentleman also dates several women, besides, he is not jealous, if you start flirting with others on his eyes. He does not aspire to become closer with you, you feel that if you are far from him, he forgets about you, and calls only to learn only when you can meet next time.

What to expect from him. Probably, at first you will be overflowed by a storm of feelings and emotions. However, when passion passes, you can find out that, except sex, you have nothing in common. A man who considers that sex is love, as a rule, is rather selfish, thinks only of his desires. If you suddenly cease satisfying his sexual requirements, he will quickly grow cold. Feelings of such man are very transient and superficial. As a rule, he loves you only when you are nearby, and overcomes parting very easily. Having decided to break up with him, do not wait for calls with apologies or night visitings with an armful of roses and oaths in eternal fidelity. In general, your communication will be only a petty intrigue. If you do not impose responsibility for you and your feelings on such partner - you will spend pefrect time with him in bed for a long.

EROS - sensual love. It is based first of all on fidelity and only then on physical desire.

How he behaves. He is interested in your life and problems. He does not dissapear after first night spent together. You have things to talk about. In conversation he tells not only about himself, but is also interested in your emotions and feelings.

What to expect from him. You found almost an ideal partner! This man will not ego-trip at your expense, he appreciates your feelings and will not start blackmailing you with love (”I do everything for you, and you are so ungrateful!”). Your man is glad to the fact you feel good with him, he likes caring of you. This is really a true love!

MANIA - love-obsession. As a rule, is based on passion and jealousy.

How he behaves. In the centre of such man’s love is not a partner, but he. As a result, he constantly tries to ego-trip at the expense of other people. It can be expressed differently, but more often - in the form of banal household rudeness or humiliations “on trifles”. Such man will wait for any problems in your relations and if they do not arise, he will create them. For example, he will start telling you you wash dishes wrong way. Or suddenly he will start carping that you spend too much money. Such man waits that other person will run into dependence from him, considers that a woman should love only him, because he is with her. Such person avoids any routine, boredom and attachment. He often changes friends, residences, works, most likely, was married before.

What to expect from him. Pathological jealousy. Such person is jealous not because he is afraid to lose you, but because you can “run away” from his power. Thus, the weaker and more dependant you will be, the more confident this man will feel. He will constantly try to force you thinking that you are obliged to him by something. And will perceive your care and love as due, will not appreciate and notice them. As a result, the more you will try to come closer to him, the more he will push you away. And on the contrary, if he sees you cooling, he will aspire to be pleasant to you again in every way. And then again cooling. But consider that such man provokes break-up by himself, thereby confirming his importance even more.

Pragma - “rational” love.

How he behaves. Such man says that he needs a woman whom he would feel comfortable with (instead of the one he will grow fond at first sight or with whom he will have tremendous sex). At acquaintance he first of all tries to learn, whether you are able to be in charge of housekeeping, whether you suffer from fits of hysteria, etc. In general, he looks, whether he will be able to build a joint life with you.

What to expect from him. There will be no passions and unexpected acts in your joint life. You will be constantly pursued by a feeling that you were chosen as goods. While you give a partner everything he expects from you - stability, material benefit, - he loves you. But as soon as this basis dissapears, break-up follows. Such man begins constantly supervising his feelings and will demand the same from you. If you need constant changes, thirst of new sensations and feelings - such relations is obviously not for you.

Storge - love-friendship.

How he behaves. A man tells you about all problems and relatives. You feel you can share everything with him. You never have any fluctuations to tell him something, - you just approach and speak. You are always assured that in any case will find understanding and support.

What to expect from him. Probably, soon you will miss strong emotions - you will want new sensations. If you know all thoughts and desires of each other, you will have no space - you just become uninteresting for each other! Therefore, it is reasonable to have your small hobbies that will help you equiping some personal, intimate space.

Then on December, 31st there will be no problems with setting — master will work easily, and you will be able relax and be 100 % assured of result.

Hairdress

What are hairdresses 2008? Hair can be down, but accurate. Hairdresses allowing to leave small, rather dynamical locks, look interesting. It is necessary to accentuate hair with accessories — not bright, but rather quiet. Satiny bows, colour hairpins and hairgrips, varnish hairpins — you can play on contrast or pick it up in tone to a dress, shoes or, for example, belt.

Make-up

What are make-up trends? The basic accent are arrows and extended eyelashes. But the favourite — arrows. They can be of any form, length and thickness, every possible colours, bright or constrained. Dark blue and grey tone of shadows will be perfect, and lips should be bright.

New Year make-up in celebratory night should make you not just attractive, but irresistible. Its stylistics depends on image you wish to have on this most cheerful holiday in a year. Naturally, extravagant dress will demand an extravagant make-up, and a fancy dress - carefully thought over face.

Certainly, master stylist will create the best make-up for you. Mek an appointment in a salon in advance: otherwise, you can appear without professionally made make-up, or meeting with a master will be appointed to time inconvenient for you.

You can create a classical make-up which will correspond to a fine lady in a smart evening dress by yourself. Here are some simple councils that will help you creating a New Year make-up according to professional rules.

1. First of all, wipe face with tonic. Usually it is a tonic without alcohol. Some ladies prefer just face washing: this is also not forbidden by strict rules of stylists.

2. Then apply a day cream: very thin layer. Blot its surpluses with a cosmetic napkin.

3. To make facial skin as smooth as possible, apply a thin layer of foundation cream. Shade it carefully. For an evening make-up you can use slightly darker foundation. Select colour of tone carefully: too dark tone will look unnatural.

4. Now start face correction. Correct you natural defects with rather dark blush of brownish shades. In case your face seems too wide, black out (not excessively!) cheeks from regional line of hair growth downwards and to the cheek middle. If your cheekbones are wide - put blush on the most convex places. For correct face - blush is put under cheekbones. In care your forehead is too high, and you do not have a bang, - put blush on regional line of forehead. If you have a sharp chin, you should put blush on its bottom part. Blush is applied by a brush and shaded with sponge.

Attention! If this procedure is new for you, work over your face in advance: master this technology. Be guided by a rule: small amount of cosmetics will provide the best effect, instead of its surplus.

5. After face correction is made, blush is applied and shaded, apply loose powder on all face. If you got used to apply a cream powder, - use it, but apply very cautiously: not to grease contours created by blush.

6. Now apply a very thin layer of blush on cheeks. (This position can be excluded at desire).

7. The following action - application of a thin layer of foundation cream on lips, so that lipstick would last longer. Blot surplus of cream.

8. Powder eyes slightly.

9. In case of necessity, correct eyebrows with a pencil for eyebrows. Black pencil is not applied: only brown of different tones.

10. Apply shadows on eyes. Colour of shadows is chosen in conformity with your toilet. First of all, primary colour is applied. Then external corner of eye is shaded: with darker shadows. An accent with black shadows in eye cavity at corner is supposed. Under eyelid you can draw a narrow line of darker shadows. If you have not too prominent eyes, you can shade eye centre under eyebrow with absolutely light or even white shades: it will make your eyes especially expressive.

11. Now it is a turn of nacreous shades, spangles and other New Year effects.

12. Draw a thin line with liquid eye liner: only on an upper eyelid. You can apply liner on all eye edge, or only on eye corners.

13. If you plan to use rhinestones in make-up, stick them now by means of special glue.

14. Now let’s do eyelashes, or paste false eyelashes, which are quite pertinent in a celebratory make-up. Special shops offer a wide choice of false eyelashes: for density strengthening, increase in length and, including, eyelashes with Lurex. You can get them in theatrical shops or in shops where dancing accessories are on sale. In the New Year eve such eyelashes will be quite pertinent even in a classical make-up.

15. Let’s pass to lips. The first stage is drawing of lip contour, which should be one tone darker than lipstick. Shade contour with sponge.

16. Apply lipstick. Blot lips with a napkin. Powder lips. Apply one more layer of lipstick.

Such multilayered make-up will make your skin smooth, and it will last very long. Just do not forget that all layers of cosmetics should be very thin!

17. If you have a dress with low neckline, spangles and pastes, you can decorate dress and bared area of breast.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, we wish you love, happiness, appeal, and the main thing – full confidence of your charm!

Relaxation: Secret of work capacity, health and longevity

Nature laws are constructed on unity of contrasts: light and darkness, heat and cold, action and counteraction, pressure and relaxation. All our life consists in straining, when necessary, and then relaxation.

Yes, our muscles should work and be in pressure. But if they thus have no rest, normal course of vital processes is broken. And if this happens often, consequences can be very serious. Pressure breaks intellectual processes, complicates work of eye muscles, exhausts forces, influences condition of blood badly and, at last, leads to deterioration of appearance and presenilation. Hence, if we wish to be healthy and live a long life, it is necessary to learn relaxation.

«Why I get so tired on work?»
You come back from work and feel like a squeezed orange. Both head and eyes, back, and even hands and feet ache, though you are not engaged in physical work. And your hand already reach for a home first-aid set. You would like to drink hot tea, medicine and fail in bed. Also there is no guarantee you will manage to fall asleep quickly.

No matter how paradoxical it sounds, but cerebration in itself cannot tyre a person. Analyses of blood passing through brain, when last is in an active condition, testify to it: it contains no toxins of weariness, which are available in blood of physically working person. At workers of brainwork weariness grows out of mental and emotional condition. A dominant role belongs here to such negative emotions, as feeling of senselessness of work, insult, anxiety because of terms of task performance, uncertainty in forces etc.

The main obstacle in a way of fruitful cerebration is often conviction that it demands pressure, differently it cannot be successfully executed. Therefore we force muscles making efforts, what does not help our brain with its activity at all. Someone frowns, someone walks, someone compresses hands etc. Any vain waste of energy and furthermore, its exhaustion, only strengthens pressure.

You can struggle with nervous weariness only through relaxation method. Weariness has property to be accumulated with amazing speed. Rest, even short, possesses enormous regenerative ability.

Your new motto
If you attentively analyse activity of human heart, which carries out extremely big physical activity during all life, it appears that it works not continuously, but with alternation of cycles of pressure and rest.

It is experimentally proved that the one, who spends one half of time from each hour for work, and another — for rest, can carry out 3-4 times bigger volume of work, than in case of continuous work during a long interval of time.

Thus, the motto should become your vital principle: to have a rest, relaxing, as often as possible, doing having rummaged in the basic work.

Art of muscular relaxation should be applied several times during a day. Whatever your work is, replace occupation and find moments for a full relaxation of all body muscles. Relax, close your eyes and think about something pleasant and encouraging. Also it is necessary to accustom yourself to relaxation within several minutes every time before meal and dream.

Memoirs and visualisation
The secret of any relaxation is covered in mentality: pleasant, joyful memoirs bring relaxation. Excitement and pressure of any sort can be reduced through memoirs of interesting, joyful events. A musician receives pleasant relief, recollecting a successful concert, a football player is glad to endure the most successful game once again etc.

Visualisation brings relief. If you cannot revive any pleasant memoirs in memory, do any mechanical process mentally, for example, draw pictures or drawings: small squares, triangles. When mentality is capable to recollect ideally any of displays of sense organs, it always relaxes. If you can accurately recollect tick, any smell or taste, your mentality will come to an ideal condition of rest. Thus if you close your eyes, you will see absolute blackness. Hence, by means of memoirs of black colour you can measure degree of own relaxation precisely. If this colour is recollected in perfection, a person completely relaxes. If black colour is not recollected at all, a person is not relaxed.

Thus, training memoirs of black colour is a way to achievement of full relaxation of organism. If by memoirs or representation black colour nevertheless is recreated not completely, you can apply such reception: open your eyes and look at any black subject, close your eyes and try to keep the seen picture in representation. Often for better fixing of black colour in consciousness, it is desirable to move from one black object to another or from one part of black object to another. After certain training, you can recollect black blindly during uncertain period of time. It is also a condition of full relaxation.

Brain and muscles
We are arranged the way that during moments of mental excitation our skeletal muscles strain involuntarily. Recollect any angry or indignant person - its appearance testifies also to expressed muscular pressure. And on the contrary, when brain is quiet, skeletal muscles also relax involuntarily.

However, not only brain condition is reflected in muscles, but also muscles, in turn, definitely influence brain, mental state of health. The matter is that any smallest muscle in brain signals about its condition continuously. For this reason we can, without looking at, say, our hand, tell in what position each finger on it has. Biological impulses arriving from muscles in brain, bear not only information on «body peripheries» condition, but are also original irritants, stimulating brain activity, raising it. The more strained, more active muscles are, the more impulses goes from them to brain. And on the contrary, the less active and relaxed muslces are, the less impulses arrive from them in brain. And when brain receives ever less exciting signals from body periphery, it starts calming down, plunging at first into somnolence, and then in a deep sleep.

Good night!
A normal healthy dream which restores brain and all organism, can come only after full relaxation. In such condition a person has a rest. Therefore it is very important to learn leaving all difficulties and problems behind bedroom doors. Going to bed in a nervous condition or with gloomy thoughts means adding poison in food.

One of secrets of effective rest — to find convenient position for head. A head weighs 1/20 part of a body, it is rather heavy burden for neck and backbone. Therefore, at the first possibility give them rest. It sharply improves general state of health.

For fast falling asleep it is necessary to reach full relaxation in bed. A bed should be rigid. Blanket is light, but warm. You cannot relax well without warmth.

Refuse chemical preparations
Modern somnifacient medicines and medicines for intensity removal are, as a rule, tranquilizers and give only illusory feeling of calmness. Majority of them, unfortunately, has by-effects, which have adverse influence on tissues, glands and their secretion, what influences state of mind, emotions and character of person. Besides, tranquilizers cannot make more, than simply grant a respite to an organism for several hours. When action of preparation comes to an end, a person appears in worse condition, than before medicine acceptance.

Help your organism. Big help in relaxation will be rendered by balanced diet, rich with all vitamins of group B, in particular B1 and В6, and also vitamin E. It is necessary to take more calcium and vitamin D. Drink a glass of milk with calcium before going to bed. Balanced diet helps keeping health and good mood. You can relax much easier, when nervous cells are in good condition.

Color combinations - success of your image

No matter what leading designers say about colour, fashionable in a new season, any woman of fashion should understand that in any season bright colours - one of the hottest tendencies. But how to combine them correctly?

Every day people ask themselves questions: whether this tie suits me? What blouse should I put on with these trousers? And answers to them depend on one factor directly - colour. You cannot do without rules of color combinations. Not all of us know these rules in perfection, but you can learn bases of color combinations easily!

Complete understanding of colours and their spectrum - a long process, but there is a fast recipe. In the world of art and fashion there are tens and even hundreds of more difficult rules, but let’s leave them to professionals. In this article you will find some simple councils.

As colour is not only addition to a suit, but also a tool of visual figure construction - we should be very attentive. Let’s discuss it in detail, and make a code of practice for ourselves: How to wear winter 2009 bright things correctly.

Colour and figure

The first we need to remember - we will accentuate our advantages with bright colour, and mask lacks of figure by paler colours. Colour proportions in one suit are also very important.

Colour and relevancy

Bright green, fuchsia, purple shades and turquoise

Bright green, fuchsia, purple and turquoise - more often act independently. And this means that we will wear these colours with reference to separate subjects of clothes. Better - bright monophonic dresses or blouses.

Black and white

This season we will also wear both black dresses, and white clothes.

The best variant - white dresses and trousers, white blouses in a combination to black trousers and skirts, white jackets, a suit stylised under man’s.

A white shirt will suit everything

When all the rest loses, it is necessary just to lift a flag of truce… and win! After all, white shirt is combined with everything, including those things of unusual shades, which you did not wear because of absence of pair. A white shirt can be put on under a suit of sated colours or pastel waistcoat - in any case, you will look non-standard and elegant. A classical cotton white shirt should be sewed from good stuff and fit well, and then its price will be no less than cost of gold of corresponding weight.

Grey + bright colour =?

To make any experiment with colour successful, include grey in ensemble. This colour can supervise any shades, including those that will seem inadmissibly bright taken separately. Therefore, whether it is one flash of colour on an ultrafashionable accessory or a bright thing, add it with grey sweater, trousers or jacket. Thus you will not only underline a strong, sated shade, but also take pleasure in effect of grey - classical, elegant, and also fashionable colour of this season.

Do not wear colour trousers

No matter who you are and what you are engaged in: refuse temptation to buy bright trousers. Trousers - that conservative centre of your clothes, in which you should refuse radical experiments with colour. Bright trousers declare themselves too loudly, therefore never put on trousers, brighter, than a jacket or top. Bottom is a basis of any ensemble, therefore everything you can presume - classical jeans or trousers of quiet shades.

And two more councils for those who still aspire to understand colour combinations…

Combine equivalent colours

For the best result you should combine not only colours, but also shades. This means that each colour in ensemble should be no brighter, than others. To check up, whether it is true, photograph a new ensemble on black-and-white camera mentally. Those colours that look on a “photo” as similar shades of grey are ideal candidates on a combination. Therefore pastel colours - to pastel, bright - to bright, and sated-dark - to dark.

Contrasts are drawn

Deserve many compliments, combining even the brightest colours. How? Combine colours from following basic pairs among themselves: red and green, yellow and violet, orange and dark blue. These combinations as though say you are assured of your style and skilled enough in the field of clothes. After all, such combinations not only do not hurt eyes, but amaze with riches of colour and draw general attention.

Color combinations in any case is an ambiguous problem. But you can name this ability one of necessary for everyone, even in small volume. Five listed rules should become base, the beginning. Despite all restrictions, fashion always encouraged courageous experiments and allocated fans of unusual combinations. Prove yourself and others that you can dress no worse, than the most tempted woman of fashion!

Low-carbohydrate diets worsen memory

Diets based on products with low maintenance of carbohydrates help wishing to grow thin. But as it appeared, such kinds of diets are dangerous to one’s intelligence.

Researches of representatives from Boston university allowed to find out that memory of those people, who stick to low-carbohydrate diets, and also refuse consumption of carbohydrates completely, starts being gradually weakened.

Experiment with participation of 19 women at the age of 22-55 years was made.

One part of representatives of the weaker sex followed low-calorie diets within one week , and others - low-carbohydrate.

After 7 days experts spent a number of tests for volunteers’ intelligence. Those ladies who used products with low maintenance of carbohydrates showed much worse results, than others.

These women’s spatial and visual memory weakened, and reaction slowed down.

Scientists explained results of the experiment by the fact that low-carbohydrate diets demand reduction of glucose consumption, which is just necessary for fast brain work and keeping organism toned.

Communication between man and woman: tips and problems

It is difficult to us, women, recognising that we are guilty in our own problems. We are so clever, beautiful, sincere and kind and suddenly such terrible disappointment! It is good, when there is someone nearby, who can be reproached or accused in case of next failure.

There are some conditions necessary for creation of harmonious family. One of them says: never reproach a man. Few women manage to realise this rule. Very often you can hear or utter such phrases: «If not you, I would not quit institute (leave from work; quarrel with mum; buy this cheap dress …)» Though if to tell fairly, he did not force you being discharged from office or making a grandiose scandal with your loved mummy.

Each of us has bases to suspect that exactly men aggravate our problems with their actions or, on the contrary, inactivity. Possibly, in general, this is truth. But for the sake of objectivity, we should notice that we are guilty almost in all not realized dreams and plans, and reproaches to our men are unreasonable, dictated by desire to justify or appear in a role of an innocent victim.

Many of us constantly complain about destiny, representing a walking encyclopaedia of various “pigs might fly if they had wings”. Hardly stay in a society of such woman will give pleasure to a man, especially, at the every minute reference to him.

Indirect charges
Ladies who shift responsibility for all failures on men, use diversified tactical receptions. Some of them, considering themselves wise and artful, do not go to a frontal attack, fall to level of obvious reproaches, especially, insults to men, such as «hopeless egoist», «finished loser», «awful miser», etc. They operate in more refined way: make rows «I would go to theatre, but have nothing to put on», recite monologues «Sonya’s husband is so great!.», show photos of girlfriends from a series «Rest in Swiss Alpes» etc.

It is clear that though a man does not hear: «If not you …», - he perfectly understands what a woman wished to tell him. If not him, that is with other husband, she would become a theatre-goer and change dresses in conformity with colour of stones in ornaments, live a life of Riley, that is as her girl-friend with her husband-banker, travel all year long from islands to continents and back …

All these ladies’ “performances” are directed on inspiring a husband, and more often – themselves, that a woman completely entrusts her destiny to her mister, and together with it whole responsibility for her cloudless happiness, by all means including also monetary abundance.

There is no «innocent half»
Even when, apparently, a conflict occurred because of a man, a woman should recognise a part of her fault. However, few of us can define and bear a part of fault. Big courage and a certain original humility are required for this purpose.

It is clear that it is difficult to consider yourself guilty, for example, in husband’s infidelity, in his alcohol abuse. Therefore the most widespread female reaction – angry accusatory protest. Usually a woman starts rushing uneasily, becomes angry, does not wish to see the truth. It would be desirable to justify yourself by all means, lay the blame on a man, and the main thing – to prove that «I am innocent». It is only his fault. And there is no doubt in it.

Here this “treacherous” requirement for self-justification also gives a woman out. Obvious attempts of self-justification testify only that at heart a woman still considers herself guilty. There is a certain voice which repeats it and does not leave her alone.

It is sad, but all the same you should agree with a wise statement: «When we met our enemies, it appeared that we are these enemies».

Do not eat your heart out
So you should not blame man in everything, and also do not be engaged in self-flagellation, develop an inferiority complex, make a chronic unlucky person of yourself. In such case a woman incurs all responsibility for strokes of bad luck and accepts them resignedly: «It is my fault; It would not happen, if I …».

Never consider time difficulties as definitive defeat, a sure sign that «destiny is bad» because of my man. Woman and happiness are compatible concepts. There are plenty more fish in the sea.

Wasting forces for charges of associates – a barren scheme

We often have an impression, as if we suffer failures because of someone. Therefore, when there is a necessity to search for real ways of problem solution, we waste time and nerves to find a guilty one and «drive him into the corner» at any cost. And, apparently, we feel better then. Danger of such installation is that we forget about basic value of failure: we should take lessons from it. Aspiration to blame others only undermines our efforts to way from failure to success.

Sad prospect
Under no circumstances think that someone operates your life, even if he is your spouse. «Allowing others changing your life for you, means allowing a waiter eating your dinner». If you sincerely consider that problems appear in front of you due to a man, the conclusion is clear. Yes, this is termination of relations, divorce. Otherwise your life will become intolerable.

Such movement downwards can be predicted, without addressing to astrologists and fortunetellers: reproaches to a man – relation to life as to something not giving in to control – feeling a victim of circumstances – full hopelessness …

Some history

Yet in the Stone Age, as it was found out at excavation of caves, they used typical cores for lip colouring. Egyptians, Romans, Greek, and also Chinese and Japanese women used various juices and berries to give lips more expressive colour. Even “Kama-Sutra” says about lips of a charming half: “her sensual lips - pink, as a bud, ready to open, or red as coral, or looking like a delightful fruit”.

Let’s go deep into accurate dates. In 1883 one Parisian perfumer presented the first standard of lipstick at an exhibition in Amsterdam. It was made from reindeer fat, wax and tinted castor-oil plant oil. Silk paper served as packing, this design was not absolutely convenient, as at each use it was necessary to unwind it and thus spoil hands. It was christened “a love pencil”. At that time opening had no popularity among ladies. It was very expensive to majority, and others refused, because considered lipstick a very juicy detail. But today actually all ladies of the world use this cosmetic means. None of us can imagine her cosmetics bag without any means for lips.

For thin lips

If you have thin lips, and wish to increase them visually, we recommend to apply glosses of light nacreous colours or with wet effect, lips will seem a little plumper and chubbier. In case if given variants do not approach, you can try application of lip pencil. Its shade should correspond to a shade of lipstick or be slightly darker. If you prefer dark colours, you should be limited to nacreous lipsticks, as matte colors narrow lips visually.

For huge chubby lips

For you, dear readers, we recommend giving preference to matte shades. They accentuate form of lips and make them smaller visually, thus colours should be darker, as light ones will make a return result. If you are not confused with your lips, you can apply any colour palettes, but still prefer dullness.

If upper lip is narrow

In this case we suggest you trying two shades of lipstick. One of them should be one tone darker, than second. Lighter one should be applied on an upper lip, and darker - on lower. You can also apply a pencil, but do not use it for both lips, just on upper one. It should not darker than lipstick shade, in another way upper lip will look ridiculous and defiant. If you like glosses, you can safely take advantage of them. This cosmetic means has unique property to hide form of lips, make less evident. Besides glosses lay down perfectly and do not roll down. Having chosen that variant, you kill two hares with one shot!
.
Narrow lower lip

You can find out how to solve this dilemma, having read previous point. Having done all turn topsy-turvy. You also can take advantage of gloss, in your case it also can be pertinent.

Some councils on lip make-up

1. First of all it is necessary to create a necessary base for lipstick. For this purpose you can apply friable powder or foundation.

2. If you use a pencil - you should learn applying it the right way. Line upper lip with closed mouth. Line lower lip from centre to corners.

3. If you have a dry skin of lips - you can apply a thin layer of hygienic lipstick.

4. Shade lips with contour accurately and only after that use lipstick. For uniform drawing, we recommend to apply a special brush. It is necessary to apply lipstick from centre of lips to corners.

5. To make your lipstick long-lasting, blot lips with a cardboard napkin and apply small amount of lipstick once again.

That’s all, dear readers, these are 5 elementary rules, which will open you a way to success and beauty.

Friendship between man and woman: myth or reality?

Whether there can be a real strong friendship between man and woman? Whether this question worries people since earth existence in the greatest measure? People cannot understand this feeling, causing heightened interest to a schoolmate. Whether it is friendship? Whether it is love?

Friendship between man and woman – a relative concept, as they are diclinous beings. And draught to each other can occur only through liking. A woman is weak and fragile, how she can be a man’s friend, after all, support in a difficult minute is a basic element of friendship, and how a woman can support the one, in who she subconsciously, potentially sees a defender and father of family?

How a man can see a friend in a woman? He first of all feels her smell, estimates her appearance, subconsciously she is a sexual object for him, as a female in herd. And if she is thus good looking, then animal instincts prevail in him, and she falls prey in his eyes. Certainly, he can speak about ennobled and fine with her, ignore flesh call, convince himself this is just friendship. For the time being …

So, they become friends. Their friendly relations are very lovely and proceed beautifully, until the moment, when councils and experiences for each other lead them to bed. As a rule, it occurs when they both feel bad. She has problems with private life, he left his girlfriend. Grief and pain, insult and disappointment unite them. They start understanding each other, more than ever. Choke with own saliva, telling about how he cheated on her or how she deceived. For certain it occurs in a bar, or club, where there is a binge. Then he, friend, offers following her home, she kindly agrees. They reach an entrance, and she rushes to his embraces with tears and says she would not wish to stay alone at this difficult minute. He, as a true gentleman and friend, offers his support and is easily invited to a cup of coffee. They drink coffee. It is time to sleep. They laid down, friendly, maybe on one sofa. And a light touch of her hand becomes that moment, which crosses out friendship. They tasted a forbidden fruit. Here is a standard model of friendly relations development between man and woman.

Now, it seems to them, or it seems to one of them, their relation will be even stronger. But actually former friendship and real love unites someone, but to someone, on the contrary, it creates problems. After all, when we are on friendly terms, we do not notice many moments. We do not see what becomes visible in love relations. And then all either comes to an end, there is no friendship and there is no love, or sometimes, on the contrary, develops, becomes stronger and indestructible.

Friendship of man and woman is absolutely unnatural form of relations, which can exist rather long only in one case – people are pleasant to each other, but there are force majeure circumstances, which do not give them a possibility to become lovers, or one of the parties madly wants love relations, and the second persistently ignores hints of the first! This axiom is born from practical analysis of many concrete situations and always proves to be true a life. Unisex friendship can be based on mutual respect, similarity of views and characters, that we can easy discuss all peripetias of our intimate life with a friend (or girlfriend) and receive councils concerning it.

Friendship between man and woman has absolutely another power color – friends like being with each other, cheeks turn pink, there is an exchange of energy, but without explosion, causing catalyzation of love process, - it does not come, relations are supported smoothly and touchingly, and their transition in a love stage often is a bolt from the blue for one of participants of this tandem. Notice, for one! Then they find out, as a rule, that the second is already hopelessly enamoured for a long time, and agreed for a role of friend, or even played this role meaningly, not to be refused at once, to become necessary, to communicate with object of passion. If these are schoolmates, a young man and a girl, the first is enamoured, as a rule. But if these are people of mature age, there is an opposite situation - a woman-friend, seeing the most ideal man in the world in her chief or patron, he, owing to a huge set of offers, does not perceive her as a sexual object at all.

New Year Feng Shui: interior

New year is the holiday, when you can change something in your life. And usually we would like it a lot! And if our soul asks for changes - we should realize them! We just need to decorate a house according to Feng Shui science.

So, let’s begin with a compass. First of all it is necessary to define cardinal directions concerning your apartment. Of course, you can do without compass, but then you will have to recollect: where the sun ascends, and where - sits down. When defined with directions, outline the plan of apartment and draw cardinal directions on it.

Now you need to solve - what you would like to change for the New Year? This question is difficult, because we would like everything at once.

The most important thing - love.

Buy a couple of candles. The brighter - the better. Put them in a southwest corner of apartment. It is responsible for love, marriage and family relations. Therefore to make this sector active is important not only for those who wish to have new realtions, but also those who wish to recover and support energy of love and romanticism in a family.

You can take usual low candles in special iron jars, wine-glasses or glasses with a wide throat and red, white, golden beads. Fill glasses with beads, put candles and surprise all by beautiful playing of patches of light from bright fire.

If you consider you should change your life cardinally (for example, resolved to marry this year), the you should better make a gift for yourself, having bought figurines of two cranes, or hang up a picture with their image in southwest sector. Just do not forget that any candles and figurines should stand in couples.

Wood beauty

Christmas and New year tree should be put in the southeast: then it will bring desired addition of salary. After all, southeast - sector of monetary elements. Or in the east, if you wish to adjust relations with parents. Because east is a sector of family and support. The brighter your fur-tree is this year, the more advantages it will bring, not to mention pleasure. And in general, Chineses use a blossoming tangerine as a New Year tree.

So, ornaments should remind water (water supports elements of wood, answering both for riches, and family) – dark blue, blue and even black bugles, bright tinsel and, the most important thing - wealth symbol. This is a Chinese coin … the main thing is that it should be visible, thus good luck, entering your house, will notice it is expected.

In general, colours of this New year: yellow, gold, brown, red and green. After all, this is year of the Earthen Bull. Therefore, do not stint bright ornaments. Thus, heads will estimate you this year, if you add paints in the south of apartment. Because the southern sector is responsible for your reputation. For example, hang up a garland or small lamps there.

And in the north of a room, responsible for career and course of life, red colour can prevent. Here it is better to choose dark blue and blue shades, to decorate this part with bugles, put crystal glasses or arrange a minibar. The more elements of water you have here, the faster you will move ahead on a career ladder in coming year. Here you can place multi-coloured small fishes or wise turtle, so that they would protect you from rash acts … and excessive use of alcohol…

The Earthen Bull will bring you good luck, if your New Year dress is bright. If there is no colour in clothes (for example, you already bought a dark blue evening dress) add fire by means of a tinsel or costume jewellery. Of course, gold is better. Silver - too cold metal. As a last resort, you can put on just “a New Year’s” red hat and take a Bengal fire. The main thing is your desire to enter this New year festively, brightly, with a smile!

Present him a Turkish New Year
The name speaks for itself. In the menu of this evening there should necessarily be pillows on a floor, a low table, eastern music, you can cook a couple of Turkish cuisine dishes and, of course, belly dance. Yes, we have little time, but it does not mean that the idea of exotic gift should be postponed till next year. You will need about 6 days to learn base movements of belly dance, for a New Year’s debut this will be quite enough.

1. Hip movement across.
Feet on width of shoulders, slightly bent in knees, the top part, including head, is motionless, only hips are moving, they as though sliding at first in one side, then in another.

2. Top part of body horizontal movement.
Feet on width of shoulders, feet are straight, bottom part of a body, including hips, are motionless, only top part of a body (from waist and higher) moves. Move breast at first to one side, then another.

3. Hip movement on the eight.
Initial position as in the first exercise. At performance of this movement hips will make the eight across.

4. Snake.
This is alternate movement by hands. A hand is sliding along a body and rising upwards, other hand falls downwards smoothly. The wider hands are separated in sides (the further they are from a body) the more beautiful this movement is and more plastic it looks.

5. Exercise with a scarf.
The scarf is clamped between index and average fingers. For this movement you can use a scarf with coins, but a light chiffon scarf is better. Take a scarf and place it in front of yourself; lift right hand over a head, bend left hand in elbow; make a rift with hands; then raise left hand over a head, bend right one in elbow and return in a starting position again.

Do not forget that you can easily gain ability to dance belly dance, special clothes and a scarf, but it is quite possible to manage without them, after all the atmosphere of eastern holiday is the main thing.

Meet a New year in your bed
Spouses who meet New year together, or just loving couple will like this idea. You should not worry about New Year costume, here you will need only beautiful lingerie. A light meal and exotic fruits will approach this case perfectly. A pumpkin pie with cinnamon - a champion on excitation of sexual appetite in men. Glucose contained in this fruit, switches on a site of a brain responsible for excitation.

Take care of creation of warm cosy atmosphere. Candles round a bed will work on beloved better than any love magic! Aromas. The shortest way to a man’s heart and the most powerful Aphrodisiac - neroli and cinnamon essence. Apply several drops on bed-clothes or drop few oil on candles in advance, pack them into cellophane packages and leave for a couple of hours - to become impregnated.

Bathing idyll
Especially pleasant variant for two enamoured – meeting New year in a joint bathroom or jacuzzi. It is unessential to have a smart bathroom – usual one will also suit. The main thing – to show imagination. Decorate a bathroom, add foam in water, bring some plates with snacks, glasses for champagne, candles. Arrange a romantic holiday.

The way you are
Be yourself. After all, if he is with you, this means he likes you the way you are: happy and cheerful, stirred up and sleepy, sad and joyful. You just should be near.

Secrets of beautiful skin

Lacks of our skin appear not spontaneously, but only because of wrong care and improper feeding. You can correct them substantially, at times even eliminate them absolutely.

Let’s try …

What skin you have?
The one, who wishes taking care of his skin the right way, should study it properly, as everyone’s skin is different. Skin is subdivided on dry, fat, normal and combined.

Dry, gentle skin is very beautiful, but is strongly subject to external influences, especially reacts to cold and sun. If not to feed it daily with a cream, it becomes rigid and will start being shelled. You can see expanded vessels, early wrinkles on it. It is uneasy to keep such skin.

Fat, thick skin – fine soil for occurrence of eels and every possible spots. At wrong care pores often become wide. Very often fat skin is a result of wrong digestion, lack of vitamins, anaemia, and also bad care of appearance.

Fat skin needs many fruits and vegetables, care of regular stomach work, you should avoid hot spices and in general spicy food, alcoholic drinks. It is useful to wash alternately hot and cold water, compresses, steam baths from camomiles broth, clearing masks, various cosmetic liquids pulling pores, and massage by means of soapsuds are recommended. It is necessary to use only high-quality nutritious creams. Do not leave cream on face for the night, as it closes pores, and skin does not breathe.

Normal skin has no lacks either of very dry, or very fat skin. It is a nature gift. Unfortunately, even small painful change of organism can often have bad influence on it. But more often normal skin is damaged as a result of wrong care.

It is necessary to watch normal skin as regularly, as well as any other: to clear it from dust and dirt and keep elasticity by means of corresponding cosmetics.

Excessive stay on frost and under the sun spoils even the best skin. It is easier to protect skin, than treat it later.

At any skin diseases it is necessary to address to a dermatologist. If a person is unhealthy, no cosmetic procedures will rescue. Only correct, regular treatment will help.

Skin clearing
Without necessary cleanliness any care of appearance is only an illusion. Only pure skin can be smooth and beautiful. By means of cosmetics skin lacks can be hidden temporarily, but you will never be released from them. At the same time all these cosmetic means give well-groomed skin the best look.

Evening clearing of face skin should become a habit. It is necessary to clean face very diligently – skin should breathe at night to have a rest after day of work. Water is a personal care basis. It washes away dust and various skin allocation from pores, promotes peeling of lifeless cells.

Women with dry and gentle skin, certainly, noticed that after walk during a small rain or fog their skin looks much better, while it becomes languid from stay in a hot premise.

Fine skin Englishwomen have is explained by damp climate of British isles. This fact proves to be true by long-term supervision. When Englishwomen with fine skin leave their country for a long time and live in roast and arid climate, for example in Australia or South America, skin of even young women becomes wrinkled and languid.

Lack of moisture in skin explains its withering. It is now established that cells of baby skin contain about 90 % of water. Therefore, it is usually elastic and velvety. A six-ten years’ woman has half less moisture in skin cells what, by the way, is visible at once. Skin becomes flabby, dry, covered wrinkles. Therefore I recommend you using humidifying creams since thirty years.

For facial skin care use first of all hot water (but not warm, due to which skin becomes languid). Rinse face several times, to open pores and allow dirt leaving them. At this procedure, and also at facial massage with soapsuds, do not rub it too vigorously – intensive friction stretches skin. We recommend leaving foam on face for a while, for better effect, then rinse face with hot and cold water properly. It freshens and narrows enlarged pores.

Rigid towels strengthen blood circulation and are better for wiping, than soft fabrics. But sometimes, if you have time, do not wipe face after washing, and allow skin drying up.

Skin nutrition and revival
It is necessary not only to clear skin, but also feed it. Hypodermic tissues should be elastic, then they will remain fresh and young for a long.

After evening washing and face clearing your skin is prepared for accepting nutritious creams and various means containing vitamins. Consider that in excessive quantity all this is injurious to health! A thick layer of cream closes pores. Short massage with cream after washing is absolutely sufficient to give skin necessary food.

How to make compresses?
When you have tired look, skin is languid, compresses are good means to give it freshness.

To make a compress, you need two small towels, very hot and very cold water, several grammes of camomile, lime colour or mint and several minutes of absolute rest.

Brew grasses with boiled water, filter and warm up received solution, as compress should be very hot. Before a compress wash up and clean face, smear it with cream, prepare a place for lying and put two bowls with two towels near yourself. In one bowl pour cold water, in another – hot broth of grasses.

Having prepared everything, lay down, moisten a towel in hot broth, wring it out and put on face for 1-2 minutes. Then cover face with a towel wetted in cold water. Change thus towels from 3 to 4 times. Finish procedure by a cold compress, having put it for 3-4 minutes. When you will make it – weariness will dissapear!

But during procedure it is necessary to forget about all cares though for some time and weaken face muscles at a full peace of mind. The result of compresses will be visible in already 10 minutes.

At expanded blood vessels do not apply hot and cold compresses, as they irritate skin.

At fat and dirty skin it is possible to reach considerable improvement, doing compresses 1-2 times a week, while dry, sensitive skin often does not like it.

At dry skin good action is rendered by frequent cold compresses, which humidify tissues.

Some recipes of masks
A beauty mask is not an invention of modern cosmetics. A lot of thousand years ago Egyptian and Greek women used various masks to keep skin young and fresh. Romans also knew this cosmetic means perfectly in ancient times.

Mask action: it causes strengthened rush of blood to skin tissues, after what they become elastic, muscles are toned, pores start secreting products of skin glands strenuously, skin becomes fresh and young.

Masks are divided on three kinds – nutritious, smoothing and strengthening. The mirror will be the best authority at definition of kind of mask for you (if you have not learnt about it from cosmetologist).

It is not necessary to do strengthening masks very often. However, they provide result for several hours, then skin becomes even more languid.

The best effect can be reached, if you apply mask in the evening, before a dream. Certainly, it is impossible to leave it on face for all night long, wash it off carefully after some time. If you make it accurately and duly, its action proceeds within 2-3 days.

Before applying a mask, clear skin of dust and sweat carefully, better by means of steam bath or compresses from hot and cold water alternately. Having put a mask on face, lay down and try to weaken body. It is necessary even in case when you have little time. Mask will render no effect, if, having put it, you will be engaged in household duties.

In general, it is recommended to change structure of masks from time to time. Here are some recipes which can appear useful to you.

Hollywood mask. Take 2 table spoons oaten or corn flour, mix with one egg white, whip to form foam. Smear face with received paste for 15-20 minutes.
