Herpes can lead to fatal complications of pregnancy

Monday, August 9th, 2010

New doctors of the University of Adelaide / Australia / demonstrated that the herpes virus increases your blood pressure pregnant women and increases the risk of preterm birth. During the 10-year study found the presence of infectious nucleic acid in blood samples 1 thousand 326 newborn infants. More than 400 kids from this number have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Scientists have concluded that the infection in the mother’s body not only affects her health, but also on the formation of the fetus. Thus, herpes during pregnancy is fraught with early delivery and improper development of the child in the future.

Doctors have identified a genetic susceptibility to infection in pregnant women by revealing the genetic mutations that control inflammatory processes and blood clotting. The changes in these inflammatory proteins cause dysfunction and constriction of blood vessels of the placenta and brain, thereby increasing the pressure.
Hypertension in pregnancy occurs in 10% of women in developed countries, including Britain, the United States and Australia. If you do not urgently take control of this disease, excess pressure can lead to epileptic seizures during childbirth with the loss of a child and a high probability of her mother’s death, say midwives. For this reason, in third world countries recorded high rates of maternal mortality.

Breastfeeding gives your child sick

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Vaccination of living bacteria to pregnant women is prohibited. After all, it can lead to the growth of bacteria in the body, which in turn creates a risk to mother and fetus. However, if the vaccine has already killed viruses, they can not cause a pregnant woman and her unborn baby any harm.

Most bacteria are not released from the mother’s milk during lactation. Therefore, contamination of the child during breast feeding is impossible. And even if that happens, the disease course in kid goes as a rule, easily and painlessly. For example, rubella virus is transmitted through breast milk. There is no contraindication for nursing mothers for vaccination against yellow fever.
According to experts on breastfeeding has no effect, and oral polio vaccine. In any case, the decision of vaccination takes a doctor to whom you are obliged to say that pregnant or breastfeed?

Deficiency of thyroid hormone during pregnancy prevents the normal development of the child

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Hormonal deficiencies of the thyroid gland in the early stages of pregnancy subsequently cause mental retardation and physical development of the newborn, established Swedish doctors Karolinska Institutet. Scientific experiments on laboratory mice with a genetic mutation in one of the receptors showed the importance of thyroid hormone for proper formation of the embryo. Its shortage leads to physical dysfunction, brain damage and dementia.

Physicians were also able to show that the cause of movement disorders was incorrect formation of certain nerve cells in the motor cortex and cerebellum of the brain. Thus, these data provide new and important understanding of the role of thyroid hormone for infant health. With the lack of timely detection of this substance can be easily overcome with the help of hormone therapy, say endocrinologists.

Nail Care

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Nails, as well as other parts of your body, require daily care. This implies a delicate wash the area around the nail, gentle massage and periodic treatment with a special oil or cream, bath and nail.

Massage cuticle area is very soft brush, pre-soaped glycerine or baby soap. It is easy peeling, releasing the inner lining of dead skin flakes and, more importantly, prevents the formation of unaesthetic cracks, which can then hide the dirt.

Before going to sleep around always dry your nail oil. If hands are running or have been devastating for them gardens or repair work, it is better to use a special oil for the cuticle.

If the cuticle is in good condition, instead of butter, use regular hand cream. The application of the cream on the cuticle active massaging movements beautifully activates blood circulation and smooths the nail bed all irregularities and small burrs.

As a final chord promassiruyte nails wrung out of half a lemon, which has softened and bleaching properties.

In addition to the growth of the cuticle, careless attitude to nails for a long time leads to other trouble – the growth of burrs.

If the skin around the nail begins to coarsen only help the daily bath of warm olive oil. But if there is bad tears in the corners of nails, you should take immediate action. Now need special forceps to remove any burrs that can be used after a warm bath with drinking soda. Do not yank the burrs – they start to bleed, which can lead to infection. If no tears, but the skin is rough, just sand the sawing it.

To strengthen the nails themselves , you can use paraffin baths and reinforcing lacquer. Brittle nails help varnishes with calcium, fibered – with fruit acids. If the nail is broken, it is enough to cover the crack with a special material for sealing the nails and cover them to crack, and the top cause of common basis for the paint or a special gel for curing artificial nails.

Paraffin also has a beneficial effect on dry cuticle and skin, restoring its smoothness, softness and well-groomed appearance. The procedure should be carried out on paraffin manicure sessions to improve the appearance of nails and skin.

Often the appearance of nails affected with a deficiency of blood circulation. To eliminate this phenomenon applies self-massage – very simple and effective way. Perform it can be 2-3 times a day for 3-4 minutes.

Put your hand on the table, or thigh, with his free hand stroke her, ranging from nail phalanges in the direction of the wrist joint. Do this 3-4 times. Then, in the same direction mash hand side of his hand 5-6 times. Do the same for the other arm.

Since then skip to grinding. For its implementation a little squeeze into fists and fingers of both hands, joining the middle phalanges of fingers, rubbing them one against the other top-down and gradually go to the terminal phalanx, where the nails. Then continue in the direction of rubbing back and forth. When performing this exercise will be good if you, rubbing nail phalanx, will decompress a little fists, and when you rub the middle – a bit of their contract. After the massage rub the brush and finish the massage stroking the brush.

Do not forget about the very useful salt bath. For them, preferably sea salt without aromatic additives. Dissolve in warm water and a teaspoon of salt (no slides) and hold hands for 20 minutes. The procedure is repeated 10 consecutive days. A month later, it can be repeated. But enough do to prevent a salt bath once a week. Regularly using the above complex, you will soon provide excellent results to their nails, giving them health and shine.

How to make a manicure at home.

1. Remove the old varnish.
2. Given the shape of the free edge of the nail by nail with a fine abrasive. The direction of movement from the edge to the center.
3. Apply the product to soften or remove the cuticle. Keep away the skin using a wooden stick. If the cuticle is too thin, wrapped rib sticks with a thin layer of cotton wool.
4. Paid a remedy for your type of nails – firming, moisturizing, vitaminiziruyuschee and let it dry.
5. Paid a base for the lacquer.
6. A few minutes later cut nail varnish from the base to free edge. First, close the central part of the nail, then – the edge. Repeat.
7. Caused further strengthens coverage.

Nails Design

Today, nail design in beauty salons – are:
Aquarium Design
Nail art – Nail art
Nails Design – volumetric design
Volume increased complexity of design
Nail design – fancy painting
Holographic nails
Correction nails – acrylic, gel

Do no harm!

As with any cosmetic procedure, nail has a number of contraindications: First, it is not recommended to strengthen the nails during the course of antibiotics or chemotherapy. At this point in the human body stands acetone, promotes rejection of nails. Second, the absolute (albeit temporary) contraindication to build a fungal nail infections. And, thirdly, before the procedure cuticle must not be damaged. Manicure better to do either two or three days before the procedure, or after it, and not just to the building. Unedged not impose such restrictions.

In Focus – Gel

Gel, through which transformed the nail, is a viscous sticky mass. He is one-, two-and three-phase. From the number of phases depends on how many times (respectively, from one to three) nail gel and covered many times after coating is placed under an ultraviolet lamp, which is under the influence of the gel for 2-3 minutes freezes. Transparent gel gives natural color, but by combining with a white can make a “jacket”.

When building the forms, a special form, which is supplied under the free edge of the nail and secured. After this hand is placed under the lamp, and the gel solidifies. Then remove the form and attach nails to the desired length and shape.

In stepping up to the tips of their first adhesively bonded to the nails, and then applied the gel and act in the same manner as when working with only one gel.
These nails are worn on average two to three weeks, after which the correction is made. If the gel was caused by a nail, adjusted the boundary between it and nail to the desired value zapilivaetsya length of the nail, about half – thickness, and the remaining half is the same as that of the first procedure of capacity (using single-phase gel, applied to one layer, the use of gel-phase involves applying only the third layer). The presence of TIPS binds to its length and correcting for the application of a new layer of gel. Thinner gel is not removed, so the masters use a nail or hardware attachments. File down the gel (including with TIPS) have and if a person wants to return to the original, natural state of nails. Demonstrate initiative of using scissors, and saws are not advised to master – you can cause your nails and surrounding tissues of serious injury.

The procedure of gel and build takes about two to three hours.

Why nails resin

Used for nail resin has very little in common with the resin of natural origin. The chemical composition is similar to the gel, virtually no different from him. Similarly, as a gel resin is one-, two-and three-phase (three phase allows, for example, in the future to cover nail varnish without prior application base, because the third layer protects the other two and the material is not stained). The resin also hardens under the action of ultraviolet light – a hand is placed under the lamp for about two minutes. Resin, like gel may be applied as a nail, and at the tips. The process is similar to Gel. The frequency of correction is approximately once every two to three weeks.

Style sets acrylic

Acrylic – fairly close relative of the gel, also belonging to the family of acrylates. But he has other physical properties – as opposed to gel acrylic coating dries by itself, without the participation of an ultraviolet lamp.

There are several types of acrylic nail. The most classic of them – “jacket”. Do not yield to him in popularity and “Beverly Hills” (in this case, while maintaining the tip of the nail bed of pink do not white, but lighter, close to natural). Color manicure includes a pink bed and a bright end. Such a combination allows you to create a combination of a transparent liquid with colored powders.

If you own a good acrylic nails applied directly to the surface, providing a lengthening nail plate. Deformed or bitten nails are in need of adjusting the surface and shape while maintaining the original length (by the way, this procedure often seems men whose hands are always in sight). Capacity is conducted and the use of TIPS (for example, in the case where there is practically no free edge, which you can attach form). The procedure is similar to the method of gel capacity.

After the application of acrylic on the nail carefully zapilivaetsya border with their own nails, so that later, when he otrastet, at the junction was unaesthetic hump.

This nails correction is required approximately every three weeks: zapilivayutsya length and half thickness, then again layer of acrylic – and everything falls into place. In carrying out the correction has always supported the construction nail: the tip and the cuticle must be thin, and the middle – the thickness to the nail is not broken. Remove the nails is easy: cut the free end, after which the fingers fall into a special liquid, which dissolves acrylic.

Acrylic nail done and on my feet. Usually retain their own length, and too short nails some extend. Typically, correction toenails require less frequent than on the hands: sometimes a single building is enough for all summer – that is, the period in which this procedure is most needed.

Nail on the legs does not just decorative function. Use it to straighten ingrowing nail. Since the acrylic solid material, it keeps the nail, does not give him bend over and pulls him into the correct position.

Artificial nails can be painted conventional lacquers, which are recommended to remove bezatsetonovymi fluids. According to the masters, varnish can survive on such nails for quite a long time. On natural nails shine appears conducive to peel off nail polish. Artificial turf does not produce anything. External influences in this case practically no role.

If you want or need artificial nails can rasp melkoabrazivnymi (in any case not iron!) Sawing and sanding.

Properly conducted capacity, and further correction and removal of artificial surfaces is no harm nails do not cause.

Carefully take care to not only the skin of hands, but also the nails, the appearance of which indicates the health of the entire human organism. The nails are horny growths skin. With the help of their nature protect tender and delicate skin of the fingertips and nail bed. Healthy nails should be a nice pink color and have a smooth surface.

Nails are constantly growing and updated through the cells nail bed. Every day, the nail of an adult is lengthened by 0.2 mm. Children nails grow faster. If you remove the nail surgically, then it would return only after 105 days. An interesting fact that fingernails grow faster than legs. In addition, some fingers nails grow faster than the others. Nails grow faster in warm, as well as those whose fingers actively moving – musicians, typists and computer operator.

If you want your nails grow faster, and pay attention to your diet – it should be enough greens, carrots, soy, lactic acid and seafood. Nail growth contribute iron, calcium, iodine.

During the cold season should definitely wear gloves, not only will protect the hand skin from drying and redness, but also to prevent brittleness and fragmentation of nails.
Sometimes on the surface of nail plates appear horizontal lines. Typically, this should last illness. Vertical lines on the nails are often transmitted to humans by inheritance. Yellowness of the nail can often be explained by smoking. Sometimes it can be caused by varnish. Lemon or grape vinegar back nails shine. To do this, soak with vinegar, cotton wool, wipe her nails and polish them with a chamois cloth.

In order to strengthen the nail plate and to prevent separation, and cracking nails, it is necessary to arrange from time to time the tub with the use of sunflower or olive oil. Very useful for the skin around the nail wipe the crust of lemon, orange or freshly squeezed lemon juice.

The beneficial effects on the nail has beeswax. Apply it as follows. Take a small amount of beeswax, is placed in a cup or glass and heated in a water bath. When the wax melts, it should be deleted from your fingers one by one so that the wax covered the nail plate. Allow wax to harden and leave the nails in such a position overnight.

Strengthen hair growth and strengthen the nail plates will gelatine, which necessarily have to include in your diet. It is not necessary to use it in its pure form. On the basis of gelatin can be prepared many delicious dishes. This gel, mousse, hot soups, fish and meats in aspic.

Care Eye

Monday, August 9th, 2010

The fight against aging for women usually begins with the skin around the eyes, as it is here that there are first the age problem: the skin loses its freshness, appeared swollen and fine wrinkles. And no wonder: in the eye layer of the epidermis is very thin – just half a millimeter. In addition, around the eyes is almost no oil glands, soft pads “from the subcutaneous fat and very little muscle, maintaining its elasticity. Collagen fibers (“reinforcement” of the skin) are located here in a grid, so the skin age easily stretchable. And because of the looseness of the subcutaneous tissue is also prone to edema. In addition, it is constantly in motion: the eyes blink, schuryatsya, “smile”. As a result, the skin around the eyes are particularly stress.

All this leads to the fact that the skin around the eyes is from 20-25 years old in need of special care, which includes cleansing, moisturizing and toning.

Purification

Typically, make-up remover uses a special wash. But the latest tools for removing eye make up are the two immiscible liquids: the top contains the ultra-light oil, which remove waterproof makeup, the bottom (containing soothing botanical extracts) removes the “conventional” cosmetics, but at the same time and irritation. Use a cotton swab soaked in oil and fatty cream is only justified in the application of waterproof makeup. People are the same, wear contact lenses, fat means for removing eye make up is not recommended – better to use skim lotion to remove makeup and to abandon waterproof mascara. Do not forget – remove makeup from the eyes to every day! When removing make-up movements should be soft, be careful not to stretch the skin – two cotton swabs moisten with milk and apply on eyes for 40-60 seconds. Then, remove makeup movements downwards.

Watering and feeding

For these purposes, special creams, lotions and gels. From the normal means of skin care, they differ primarily by the fact that they do not contain the so-called “diffluent” oils, which could fall into the eyes and cause them irritation. Of course, they must be approved by ophthalmologists. Creams are more suitable for dry skin, they make up for the loss of lipids (fats, which do not have enough area around the eye), smooth wrinkles caused by lack of moisture, and make the surface of the skin smooth and supple. Hair should not be applied on the upper eyelids and directly under the eyes, because fats and oils can be caught in the eye and it is harmful. Avoid creams with lanolin because due to his skin can pripuhnut and blush. Do not spread the cream on your skin Age! It should be applied point: finger with a drop of cream gently push the skin century, and then make a slight vibrating motion. Thus, the move was made from the outer edge of the century to the nose. This method of application protects the skin from stretching, stimulates blood circulation. Lotions quickly absorbed through the skin by facilitating composition. They are also able to smooth out wrinkles, make skin shiny and smooth. Gels are most effective and useful, especially if the eyes are prone to swelling, extremely sensitive, or if you wear contact lenses. Gels can be applied and for ever. Cosmetics used for the care of the skin around the eyes should be changed in four months, to avoid conjunctivitis and allergic reactions.

Toning

Plant extracts in the form of lotions, gels and tonics soothe and refresh skin. Wet one of these means a cotton swab and apply it to your eyes for 5-10 minutes.
Qualitatively different relationships require skin around the eyes, if you are already there were any problems.
Tumescent after sleep eyes, dark circles under eyes
for the morning cleaning, use a special cooling gel eye with plant extracts. This gel simply soak the upper and lower eyelid and wait a few minutes before to paint.

You can apply cold tea bags of black tea: tea bags to brew hot water, cool in the refrigerator for a few minutes to put on the lids. Then apply a thin layer of cream and do morning exercises, run. Isolation of sweat and exercise in conjunction with the bells and whistles to quickly eliminate the swelling.

Work their magic special “ice” mask. They are made of plastic, filled with gel and stored in refrigerators. If you need them for a few minutes placed on closed eyes. They are sold in pharmacies.

Use a vegetable mask - mince parsley roots, obtained mush apply on eyes for 15 – 20 minutes, then rinse with warm water.
if the above methods do not help, consult a physician nephrologist: perhaps you have something wrong with the kidneys.

To camouflage dark circles must seek special funds - konsilery – their texture is usually more tender and mild, despite the fact that opacity (camouflage) the ability to be even higher than that foundation. Before you use konsilerom, if necessary, apply a lifting cream. It will smooth out wrinkles and make skin elastic. The cream always let soak, the skin needs to acquire a better tone and smoothness. Sam konsiler should be applied only to the region of bruising. After that, it is very easy to powder region of the lower and upper eyelid.

Bags

- Sleep so that his head slightly above the level of the body;
- Do not use fatty creams under the eyes, they only increase the swelling.
- Try not to abuse beer and stronger drinks, sharp and salty dishes – the use of which leads to accumulation of fluid;

Make:
- Contrast compresses broth sage: 1h. spoon herb sage pour half a glass of boiled water, for 10 minutes, drain and divide into two portions – hot and cold. Put the two gauze cloth into a bowl with hot and cold water. Apply alternately cold, then hot compresses for 10 minutes during the month before bedtime. Similarly, we can make a compress of chamomile or fennel.
- Masks from raw grated potatoes: pulp is laid out in the gauze on his eyelids for 10-15 minutes 1-2 times a week.

Improving brings a special massage that sets in motion the lymphatic fluid. These “lymphatic drainage” could best be accomplished in a beauty parlor.
also the reason may be in diseases of internal organs. Bags under the eyes can be hidden under a thin layer of foundation, which should be slightly darker than your natural skin color.

The skin around the eye is constricted in the evening, make-up lines formed
over the make-up gently apply the gel to the skin around the eyes. The skin becomes smoother, posvezheet and wrinkles smoothed. The same effect can be achieved using the so-called “eyeliner”. They look like a colorless lipstick and contain many nutrients, biologically active substances.

But most importantly - the skin around the eyes need to treat. Dryness can be caused by improper care, and, naturally, will be exacerbated when applying makeup.

Irritation and inflammation

Tired eyes can “treat” the bath for the eyes. For this special small cuvette filled with a mild liquid eye cream (all of which can be purchased at the pharmacy), it is applied gently to the wide-open eyes, and rotate the eyeball so that the eyes became moist
as an exception, you can use eye drops. They are sold in pharmacies without a prescription. Some drops contain substances that erode blood vessels, so they are not designed for prolonged use.
Bloodshot eyes and eyelids can help if they washed infusion of chamomile flowers pharmacy or lime (1 teaspoon of dried flowers poured a glass of boiling water, insist 15 minutes, and filtered through folded in two layers of gauze).

Fine wrinkles around the eyes

Use the “active” cosmetics: with drugs affecting collagen, normalizing the content of glycans – a substance that fills the space between collagen fibers.
In bright sunlight (summer and winter), wear dark glasses. This is necessary to lower blink and squint.
Useful massage, which prevents premature appearance of wrinkles around the eyes: in the evening, after cleansing, take the tips of his fingers a little olive oil and is easy to massage the circular muscle of the eye in the direction from inner to outer corner of the eye. Then – if you play on lowered eyelids, like the piano. Closing his eyes, put on his eyelids with his knuckles. Under her fingers, try to open my eyes. Sensing the tension, while lifting and eyebrows.

Masks from the “mesh” around the eyes:

The infusion of fresh birch leaves: 1 cup of birch leaves Pour 1 cup of cold water and insist 8 hours, drain. Use as a compress.

Melt 1 tbsp. a spoonful of honey, add the art. a spoonful of wheat flour and whipped protein. Mask hold up as long as it is / is not dry, then wash off.

Wrinkles can be escaped with the help of new concentrates are actively fighting wrinkles, containing ultrafine particles of powder. These particles reflect light powder, and wrinkles around the eyes become less noticeable. These super active substances, as biogialuronovaya acid and malt oil, giving the skin more elasticity and strengthen its protective properties. These concentrates are applied in the morning before make-up and rubbed light patting movements.

And finally, most importantly – try to eliminate the causesthat lead to the aforementioned defects: lack of sleep, prolonged stress, eye fatigue, smoking. Take a good vitamin complexes, more for fresh air, exercise and do not skimp on skin care products around the eyes!

Strengthening, food and peeling nails

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Nails on the sea are growing by leaps and bounds (3-4mm. A week), all because sea water contains lots of minerals, salt and iodine, with a physiological ratio. A walk on the beach – a natural peeling not only the skin on their heels, and nails.

“Sea” way to strengthen the nailswhile in town – lubricate them soaked in iodine and olive oil (1:1) with a cotton swab.

If you no immediate shine sandy beaches, make peeling nails. They need this no less than the skin. A radical way to bring a sense of nails – alpha-hydroxy peels acids, this procedure will improve the breathing of nails and moisten them. This is especially important to the owner of the dry, brittle and too hard nails.

Now, almost 40% of the population suffers from vascular dystonia. True to its sign – constantly cold hands and feet. Because unimportant limbs perfusion is disturbed and nutrition nails. People with this problem must necessarily every day, do yourself a massage of the hands and feet – lubricate them with olive oil and move “presser” movements of the fingertips.

If the nail plates were rough and the processing of “peel” thin striped hard to blame a means for removing paint, eat up the natural protective layer. This is a sure sign that it’s time to move on sparing nail polish remover. They are manufactured by Orly, L’Oreal Professional, Mavala, Lady Rose and Lumene.

If the nails become yellow (usually because of cheap paint with formaldehyde, and smoking), they can bleach not only in the salon with a special beauty, but also independently. Regularly scrub the nail plate in the lemon juice, or lubricate it fresh cut slice of raw potato.

If the nails are broken the next day after visiting the manicure room, it says the deficit of iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, calcium, vitamins of group B. In general, eat more green vegetables and dairy products (calcium source), rice and bananas, to to obtain magnesium and manganese, as well as fresh fish – it has a lot of zinc. Red meat – this is the right and almost the only strong source of iron, which deprived vegetarians because the iron, which is in the garnets and beans, digested much worse. There is a myth that the layer of nails – a sure sign of a lack of calcium in the body. Perhaps the calcium in your body comes just enough, but he refuses to learn – because of lack of vitamin A. Its daily rate contained in a glass of carrot juice a day. An important caveat: for maximum benefit should drink only fruit juice (a half hour in the air valuable vitamins are oxidized and lose their healing power) and be sure to add a teaspoon of vegetable oil.

Many beauty salons are now using new technology without a manicure, do not injure the cuticle removal is performed using special drugs that contain a certain percentage of the required acids (milk, fruit, etc.) and softening cuticles, with disinfecting ultraviolet irradiation.

Processing of the nail (sawing) is carried out from the lateral parts of the center. To avoid ingrown nails, no corners cut away. Since the metal nail files often defoliate the nail, which can lead to penetration of microcracks of different microbes are best suited for polishing abrasive nail file with Teflon or other coating.

Finalized manicure massage his fingers and hands from applying nourishing cream or butter. Used as paraffin, allowing lead hands in order for a short time. Cosmetic paraffin baths soothe and moisturize skin, eliminates irritation and peeling.

Strengthen brittle nails and a layer

Monday, August 9th, 2010

As a result of prolonged exposure to water, alkalis, acids nails are destroyed, become fragile and brittle.

Strengthens the nails have a bath of heated olive oil, which is added a few drops of lemon juice and rubbing the skin surrounding the nail bed, lemon juice, and the foundation of the nail and the nail plate – a mixture of one part of the oily solution of vitamin A , D, E, and one part cream.

Established that the nails grow faster and become stronger when using gelatin (it is added to jelly, jelly, etc.).

Brittleness and fragility of the nail plate indicates a morbid condition of nails as a result of malnutrition, beriberi. If the nails due to lack of calcium in the body become thin and brittle, eat more dairy products, particularly cheese.

It is useful to rub in the nail plate household vinegar, lemon juice, cranberry juice, red and black currants. By the way, lemon juice not only strengthens the nails, but brightens them. It should be used when the nails are yellow. Good strengthen nails compresses with a solution of the following composition: 70 grams of water, 5 grams of alum, 25 grams of glycerol.

Unfortunately, the layer nails – a problem familiar to many. To strengthen them very useful salt bath. Just need a constant sea or ocean salt without all kinds of fashionable nowadays flavors. Dissolve in warm water and a teaspoon of salt (no slides) and hold hands for 20 minutes. The procedure is repeated 10 consecutive days. A month later, it can be repeated. But enough do to prevent a salt bath once a week.

And that’s absolutely not recommended, since it is the tub with baking soda. Sometimes this means resorting to clean the dirt from under fingernails. But in this case, the nails will become simply “cotton”! However, this procedure is useful for hands, but make sure that the nails do not touch the water.

If the nails Sloyatsya daily at night and anoint the hands and nails any nutritious cream. Thin, brittle nails will become stronger if they rub lemon juice or vegetable oil. Try also at least temporarily not to deal with washing powder.

Types of skin

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Classic Beauty skin divides into three basic types: normal, dry and oily. The skin, which is fatty and greasy or dry areas and normal, called the combined.

Normal skin.

This type of skin is relatively rare and usually in young people. On average, normal skin are only 6-8% of adult women. Such skin is full of merit. The natural acid mantle, sebaceous glands and circulation are functioning perfectly. Normal skin is clean, taut, stretched, no red spots or sore areas. The first wrinkles on their skin appear only after 35 years. Normal skin was balanced processes of life, as a rule, it copes well with stress, after purification quickly restores the water-lipid lubricant. This skin has a healthy appearance, not shiny, the pores are not expressed, comedones are absent or minor in the nose. Normal skin needs only supports or age care (pH 5,5-6) – is the most rare type of skin, in practice, faced with increasingly problematic skin.

Oily skin.

She always gives women a lot of trouble. It often appears pimples and blackheads. It is covered with a film of fat and poorly supplied with blood. Most often this type of skin occurs in young girls during puberty. However, approximately 10% of adult women also suffer from the active work of the sebaceous glands. Oily skin – the most problematic, but at the same time, due to strong lipid mantle is less prone to aging. When excess sebum allocating face shines often pores resemble orange peel can be comedones and blackheads, complexion sallow sometimes. If oily skin is changing the qualitative composition of sebum, and the acid reaction of the skin becomes alkaline (pH 7-8), which makes it susceptible to the emergence of suppurative infection.

Causes of fatty can be:
- Genetic predisposition;
- Sexual maturation;
- Endocrine disruption;
- Disorders of the nervous system, stress;
- Violations of the gastrointestinal tract;
- Improper care, etc.

Oily skin is characterized by various states. In the presence of comedones and inflammatory individual elements can help in a beauty parlor. If oily skin has a lot of inflammatory elements, such client must be sent to a dermatologist, to engage in self-medication should not be. In this case, perform the procedures recommended by your doctor. (See Skin diseases. Seborrhea).

Dry skin

Dry skin has a great advantage: it is particularly tender and finely. With proper care, it seems amazing pink and healthy. However, the slightest error in the care of the skin condition is rapidly deteriorating: it shrinks and flakes, loses shine and looks like “crumpled”. To get rid of unpleasant feelings, it must constantly lubricate the cream. Dry skin is very beautiful in her youth, delicate, tender, but, unfortunately, rapidly aging. Without good maintenance, it can become dehydrated, flaky, red patches.

Dry skin causes various reasons:
- Lack of activity of the sebaceous glands and sweat glands;
- Lack of epidermal lipids and moisture retention factors;
- Improper care;
- Unbalanced diet (lack of vitamins, unsaturated fatty acids);
- Endocrine disruption;
- Climatic conditions;
- Excessive insolation (solar radiation reaching the Earth’s surface).

Dry skin, differing sensitivity, does not like to frequent change and a very active preparations, so it is best to use special means marked “hypoallergenic”. In appointing the tools and procedures necessary to remember the diversity of the causes of dry skin: it is therefore very frequent use of fatty cream does not lead to improvement of the skin.

Combination skin.

Mixed skin - these are two different types of skin on the face – dry and oily. It usually has thick sections in the T-zone and normal or dry skin in the cheeks. It requires care, taking into account the status of various parts of the skin – it must be borne in mind when using cosmetics. For example, should not impose a mask after cleansing the skin on his face, it is better for dry and normal sites to find the appropriate mask. Requires special attention sensitive skin. In Europe, almost every third woman says her skin sensitive. Typical symptoms are probably familiar to many: a sense of contraction of the skin, increased excitability of individual plots, red spots and points. In cosmetics such skin reacts unexpectedly. Today it is normal to transfer credits, and tomorrow from him may appear flushed. This skin quite annoying and stressful, and fatigue. Sensitive skin can be of any type, but more common dry sensitive. More susceptible to allergic reactions people suffering hay fever (vasomotor rhinitis), asthma, eczema, immune system disorders. Predisposing factors for the manifestation of the sensitivity of the skin can be stressful, the effect of direct sunlight, dry and hot air, running water. Symptoms of an allergic reaction are itching, redness, swelling, nasal congestion. The reasons are numerous varieties of skin conditions, complex, and some – just not yet known. Nevertheless, one can identify a number of factors that affect the skin and its appearance:
* Age and sex;
* Profession and habits;
* pregnancy and the menstrual cycle;
* diseases and medications;
* Time of year, climate, temperature and UV radiation;
* Genetic predisposition;
* Endocrine disorders;
* Unbalanced diet, lack of vitamins;

Structure and function of nails

Monday, August 9th, 2010

Nails – a dense horny plates on the back surface of all fingers and toes. They lie on the so-called nail bed. Their function – protection of the terminal phalanges of the mechanical povrezhdeniy.Peredny edge of the nail plate is free, rear and side, its edges are surrounded by skin fold and go deep into it. The upper part of skinfold coming in the nail plate and is called the nail ridges, which serve a protective role, preventing foreign bodies and bacteria to penetrate the zone sprout nail. The edge bead represents dead cells. Drying up, and then, otslaivayas, this region gives rise to burrs.

There are body and root of the nail. The root of the nail is called the posterior part of the nail plate under the rear of nail roll. Only a small portion of the root of the nail emerges from under the nail shaft in the form of whitish crescent-shaped area (lune nail). The root of the nail lies on the back of the nail bed and called the matrix. The Matrix is a place where there is a formation nail plate and consists of epithelial cells. Piloted in the layer of these cells are onihoblasty – cells that make up the nail, which turn into horny nail plate.

The basis of nail is keratin – a protein that is also present in the skin. From it is formed hair. The density of keratin in hair and nails due to the fact that this protein has a significant amount of sulfur atoms. Formed between molecules ties strengthen the protein, making it hard. In many respects, the amount of sulfur, or rather cysteine, amino acids, which includes sulfur, determined not only by its content in the body, but the hereditary characteristics. For example, some people have a higher concentration of cysteine, which makes the nails hard.

Between layers of keratin are thin layers of fat and water. These layers give the nail plate elasticity and shine. The nail can absorb water, thus increasing its thickness. That’s why people often come into contact with water, the nails are soft and thick.

In addition to sulfur in the nail contains other trace elements – calcium, chromium, phosphorus, selenium and zinc. Their presence makes the nail healthy.

Nails grow more slowly than hair. In an average week-hand fingernails grow to 1 mm, and nails of feet – to 0,25 mm. Full update nail plate is about six months.

Nail bed has a good blood supply. This nail is getting enough “building material”. The nail is formed through the activities of cells of the matrix. Cells are working intensively, producing keratin. Going to the nail plate, the cells lose fluid and die. Thus there is a seal series cells. Accelerate the growth of nails hormonal changes (adolescence, the period before menstruation, pregnancy, in the spring) and the activity that leads to abrasion of nails – typing, the habit of constantly biting his nails, hand massage, etc.

Slows the growth of nails excessively strict diet (low-fat, protein, vitamins) and diseases which are accompanied by blood circulation and metabolism.

Nails are often indicators of pathological processes occurring in our body. For example, longitudinal grooves indicate the presence of chronic inflammatory diseases (sinuses, teeth) or starting rheumatism. Transverse grooves may indicate disease of internal organs (kidney, liver, gastrointestinal tract). Education transverse grooves indicates that the organism is not enough zinc. Because zinc is found mostly in foods of animal origin, from its lack affects primarily vegetarians. If the dents and deepening nail attached form thimble – it is a signal of psoriasis. Nails in the form of time windows very often indicate pulmonary disease, bronchitis or cancer. Spoon shaped nails indicate iron deficiency, which should always be treated under medical supervision. Change the color of nails can make a preliminary determination on the development of pathology of internal organs. When heart failure becomes bluish fingernails. Yellow color of nail points on the diseased liver. Knobby yellow nails are diabetes mellitus, as well as fungal infections.

In addition, the nails have long had for our appearance and aesthetic value. Without a beautiful, healthy, well-groomed and long nails can not imagine any one complete female image. Also today, thanks to modern design of nails, which includes, besides of the usual pictures on nails, nail art, body piercing and capacity, nails can become self-adornment.

And for that to occur, the nails should be prepared daily care and ongoing sanitary manicure, which includes mainly the right haircut and nail thorough cleaning the front sections of nail groove. When correctly carried out the procedure creates favorable conditions for healthy growth of the nail, and there are no conditions for the growth of bacteria or ingrown nails.

Clippers nail use special forceps or scissors. Circumcision is only the tips of the tool, and the shorter the individual steps in the cutting, the easier the procedure. Ultimately, the cut surface should be a smooth, uniform line without protruding edges.

After clipping nails is a thorough, but careful cleaning of nail groove and the skin under the free edge of the nail. After cleaning, grinding and polishing irregularities nail or nail file diamond cutter for processing the nail. Then the nail and push the cuticle can be polished a small amount of cream and rub under the old recipe Cologne water: the nail will become shiny. And not to complain about such phenomena as the fragility and splitting of the nails, changing their colors, you need as soon as possible to stop smoking, unhealthy diet and direct contact with synthetic detergents. Always use a protective agent, preferably containing a natural wax – he has a good water-repellent effect and thus does not take moisture from the nails themselves. Do not run their illness, because they affect the condition of nails, and make (if any) full recovery from the fungal disease.

Acne - an inflammatory disease of tallow-hair follicle. Triggers are endocrine disorders, emotional overload, chronic gastro-intestinal tract. There is a genetic predisposition.

In order to defeat acne requires careful thought and individual methods of treatment, developed by dermatologists, and strict compliance.

But to start with Help: acne or acne in adolescence arise mainly because of the increased hormone levels in the blood, including androgens cause the sebaceous glands begin to secrete more sebum, in addition, and in most sebaceous glands are irreversible changes: it increases in size, and in the mouth of the duct thicker layer of horny scales, which hinders the outflow of sebum from the sebaceous glands. In sealed the sebaceous glands begin to breed bacteria, and as a result – there is inflammation.

Seborrhea – is a special skin condition that is associated with increased secretion of sebum and the change in its composition, which are influenced by several factors.

1. Hormonal factors:
high content of androgens and progesterone and reduced content of estrogen in women;

The list of indications for peeling is not included hyperpigmentation. It is no coincidence, since in childhood and adolescence hyperpigmentation is represented primarily by freckles: the correction of this type of pigmentation disorders peeling is not a tool of choice.
Leading position among the indications for the use of peeling teenagers occupy seborrhea, acne and postacne. Exfoliate to quickly reduce hyperkeratosis, reduce enlarged pores, equalize the structure of the epidermis. By reducing the density of horny plugs in the mouth of the follicles facilitates extraction of comedones, which makes brushing less painful and traumatic. In addition, by facilitating the secretion of fat (not to be confused with saloprduktsiey!) By preventing the formation of large cysts and comedones. Option planned peeling depends on the initial state of the skin. First of all, when acne medication used surface action, exfoliation mainly stratum corneum, and under no circumstances be damaging the basal membrane. When komedonalnyh forms of acne without signs of inflammation can be used gommazh peeling, chemical peels, microdermabrasion. Peeling with abrasive particles (scrub) it is desirable to use only the skin of the trunk. Choosing the acid concentration and pH of the glycolic peel depends on the intensity, size and density of comedones, as well as on individual patient response. The peculiarity of the peel in adolescents is the possibility of local application of the drug only on the affected area: in this age there is no need for an overall effect of exposure, such as when dealing with aging.

Especially popular with oily and acne-prone skin use various cosmetics containing alcohol. Their use creates the illusion of cleansing the skin from excessive greasiness, however, as shown by experiments, even with the help of pure alcohol solution can not remove sebum, since the bulk of its mass is located in the ducts of the sebaceous glands, from where to retrieve it any solvent impossible. Meanwhile, alcohol and alcoholic means destroying the thin protective layer on the skin – hydro-lipid mantle, which is a protective barrier against bacteria and protects the skin from excessive moisture loss. Therefore, frequent rubbing of the face such means can only enhance the appearance of acne. With limited acne recommended daily cleansing with the use of products containing antibacterial anti-inflammatory supplements: sage, chamomile, menthol, etc. Once in 7-14 days was cleaned skin peeling type gommazha.

Antibiotics for acne on the face of justified, powerful antibiotic can destroy the microbe stuffing “sebaceous glands, thereby cleanse the skin from inflammatory elements. But in this way may win a temporary victory over acne, as bacteria adapt quickly to the antibiotic, and its own body’s resistance is reduced, resulting in growing dysbacteriosis skin and intestines, possibly toxic to the cells of the liver and kidneys. Therefore, antibiotics are not recommended for use as a basic tool in the treatment of acne. They are appointed in cases where the external agents cause an allergy or in combination (for the powerful and short-term attack of microorganisms that cause acne). After treatment with antibiotics should definitely take a course, restoring the intestinal microflora, to avoid dysbiosis. On the appointment of treatment with your doctor, dermatologist.
