Sharing Beauty Treatments

Sharing Beauty Treatments With Some Friends:

For years models have been sneaking into feed supply stores and equestrian shops for Bag Balm and Hoof Maker. Now these beneficial products are being sold in drugstores and mass merchandisers everywhere.Hoof Maker is as it sounds, a hoof conditioner for horses. However, it softens cuticles, heels, and other rough spots. Horse trainers came upon this terrific product by seeing their own positive results. It seems that their nails and cuticles were stronger, longer and more resilient.Bag Balm is an emollient used to soothe those poor cow’s udders that take such a licking in those milking machines. This stuff (it’s very inexpensive) is wonderful on chapped lips and as extra protection during cold weather on hands and face. It’s a must for skiers.Kalaya Oil is one of the oddest moisturizers ever to hit the cosmetic market. It is derived from the “fat back” of the rare Australian bird, the emu.This moisturizer lessens the signs of aging by trapping moisture in the skin.

Know-How About Moisturize:

1. Don’t over-moisturize. Use cream on specific areas.You may not need it all over your face. The
cheeks and forehead tend to be drier than the chin.
2. Choose the right formula for your skin type.More than half of all women misdiagnose their skin type,believing it to be very oily or very dry. It’s highlyunusual for a woman’s skin to be either. If moisturizer is too heavy, the result is clogged pores.Moisturizing techniques need to be changed as the seasons change.
3. Get more from your moisturizer by circulating the skin. Gently tap the face by pretending your face is a piano, and you’re “playing” it.
4. Any moisturizer can be stretched by first applying a film of natural vegetable oil as a base.
5.Wait until a moisturizer is completely absorbed before applying foundation. However, if a foundation is a bit dry, moisturizer can loosen it up a bit.The foundation will go on more smoothly.

Cellulit:
We now know that diet works and thigh creams don’t when it comes to cellulite. So what else can
we do besides just staring at it? Here are some simple steps:

1. Eat lots of fresh fruit and vegetables (preferably raw).
2. Keep away from processed foods.
3. Drink lots of water to rid cells of toxins.
4. Stay away from carbonated beverages (even lowcalorie).
5. Avoid alcohol, which negatively affects the liver, the body’s main detoxifier and filter.
6. Try to walk or jog at least three times a week for 30 to 45 minutes.
7. Scrub the skin with a bristle brush or loofah.Brush in slow sweeps, always toward the heart.
There are gloves and mitts available to do this, but they’re not necessary. Try to do this at least five minutes a day.
8. Copy the expensive herbal wraps offered by top spas. Mix 1 cup of corn oil with 1/2 cup of
grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons dried thyme.Massage into hip, thigh, and buttock areas. Cover
with plastic wrap to lock in body heat. For extra results, lay a heating pad over each area for about five minutes.
