More older, more easier to fat


'The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then, your body and your fat are really good friends."

When I read this quote recently, I felt that it applied to a great many people. A lot of my patients say to me that, as they get older, even though they exercise quite regularly and maintain a fairly healthy diet - they are still gaining the kilos. They are stuck with extra weight or have flabby areas that don't respond positively to anything!

There are a number of reasons for this - as we age the body's metabolism starts to slow down. Life often becomes busier, juggling children and jobs - but conversely more computer-bound and sedentary. Even for those who in their younger years don't usually gain weight, part of the ageing process is that muscle mass gradually diminishes and is replaced by fat, resulting in decreased physical strength.

HEALTH DIAGNOSIS

It is good to approach weight control with a personal life-style plan. An EIS scanner can optimise fat reduction by monitoring your body's metabolic process - how it reacts to exercise - by telling you whether it sheds water, muscle or fat?

It also analyses the energy and function of the organs; measuring all the systems in the body and indicates problems such as thyroid discrepancies, low metabolism, insulin resistance, lean body mass and fat deposits.

JUST DO IT

Aerobic and strength-training exercises are very important in a healthy lifestyle plan. Cycling and running are the fastest way to burn calories, but they take on the rapidly available easy-burning carbohydrates first. It takes about 30 minutes before the body begins burning fat.

- Hypoxi Solution

In general, the reason why hips, thighs and the tummy tend to hold fat is because circulation in these areas is not as efficient as in the face, chest and calves. Hypoxi is a system of exercising with vacuums attached to the specific areas of concern. A vacuum increases blood circulation to lift up and firm, and maximise calories burnt from fat. This machine is geared towards shaping certain parts of the body and also assists with cellulite reduction.

- Carboxy Therapy and Meso Therapy

To melt fat locally and reduce cellulite you can use gas - carbon dioxide injections (carboxy) or medical-chemical injections (meso), which uses an extract from yellow beans.

- Radio frequency

The newest machine we have is called Body-16, which helps melt the fat and firm up the skin. There are a lot of new technologies to melt fat locally.

LOSE YOURSELF

- Detoxification

It is good to begin with a detox at the beginning of a weight-loss programme because you lose weight fast. First of all you eat very little, but highly nutritious food and all the toxins come out helping your body to perform optimally.

- Diet

For long-term weight control the most important factors are, of course, diet and exercise. Increase what you put out (exercise) and reduce what you put in (calories). A diet high in low-fat whole foods, avoiding too much sugar and dairy food, will help maintain a healthy weight. Some patients, however, struggle to eat less. There are some safe, FDA-approved medications that help to reduce your appetite and perceived 'satisfaction' from food by inhibiting the, "I'm hungry" chemicals in the brain.

FEED YOURSELF

Supplementing your diet with fat burners like L-Carnetine and Omega 3s, and products that absorb fat from the food such as Chitosan or Xenical (which should be used in conjunction with a physician-supervised reduced-calorie diet) can also help you to lose weight. Also, Glucomannan (a soluble fibre common in Asia) tablets reduce hunger by bloating your stomach thereby helping with weight loss.

So don't despair if you feel there's fat-chance of you losing weight - there are answers and solutions that will help you to be the best that you can - looking good and feeling great.

How to Remove Acrylic Nails

• Step 1

Find a good work area where you can sit down and be comfortable. A kitchen table works perfectly for this. Be sure to cover the surface of your table with a plastic garbage bags and a thick layer of newspaper to soak up spills and prevent damage to your table's surface.

• Step 2

Get all your supplies ready at hand. You don't want to be hunting for them mid nail removal. Have them all spread out in front of you on the table.

• Step 3

Using a pair of nail clippers, cut the acrylic nails down as short as possible to make the removal easier.

• Step 4

Fill a glass bowl with nail polish remover (the type with acetone in it). This will be used to soak your nails in and dissolve the nail glue which attached your acrylic nails to your natural ones.

• Step 5

Before dunking your nails apply a coating of petroleum jelly to the skin surrounding your nails. This will help prevent the skin from drying out while soaking in the polish remover. Just be sure you don't get any on the nail or it will block the polish remover from loosening the glue.

• Step 6

Dip your fingers into the bowl of nail polish remover and continue to soak them for 15-20 minutes.

• Step 7

Remove your hands and try to gently peel the acrylic nails off. If you are met with resistance and any or all of the acrylic nails do not easily peel off, submerge your fingers in the polish remover again and soak for another five minutes. Never force a nail to come off if it's not ready.

• Step 8

After re-soaking you should be able to remove any stubborn acrylic nails and will now be left with only your natural nails.

• Step 9

Thoroughly was your hands in order to remove any polish remover residue and the petroleum jelly.

• Step 10

If any of the nail glue remains on your nails, simply buff this off with a nail buffer. Be gentle and use a light touch to avoid damaging your natural nails.

• Step 11

Apply a moisturizing hand cream to your hands and massage in well. This will help replace any lost moisture from the acetone polish remover.

Tips : Applying liquid eyeliner


We would like to guide you to apply liquid eyeliner effectively and without any mistake. See how the professional makeup artists apply their own liquid eyeliner with this step by step guide.

1. Preparing

- A liquid eyeliner

- Make up remover

- Cotton bud

2. Before you start

Prepare the skin with a layer of foundation over the eyelids to help the eyeliner go on smoothly, although this is not important.

3. How to apply

Eyeliner can either be applied as brush or fibre tip, or my personal favourite is a cream to powder eyeshadow in black or dark brown as it is easy to vary the thickness of the line.

Liquid eyeliner should be applied along the roots of the upper lashes working up and out from the inner corners outwards. If you can’t draw in 1 smooth motion, draw a succession of little lines along the upper lashes and join them up.

The line should be thicker at the outer corners of the eyes to make them look bigger.

Next, draw a line along the roots of the lower lashes, stopping halfway along and working from the outer corner inwards.

4. The Flick

To create a “flick” beyond the outer corner of each eye, press a credit card or ruler at an angle against the corner of your eye and draw along it.

5. Mistakes

If you make any mistakes, use a make-up corrector pen or some cleanser on a cotton bud to wipe the make-up away.

Hand Care


Hand Care

Always wear rubber gloves when you plan to do any household work or gardening. If your hands are exposed to too much water, soap, detergents, dirt or chemicals then, the skin of your hands can become wrinkled and rough.

Ideally, you should moisturize your hands at least 4 times in a day, especially after washing them. Even if you do not have time make it a habit of moisturizing your hands before you go to bed at night. This is just as important as brushing you teeth before you go to bed, every night.
 
You can also use your face exfoliator on your hands. This will help to remove any dirt and dead skin cells, and nourish and rejuvenate the skin of your hands.

You can scrub your hands with bath salts, after washing them with soap. This will leave your hands squeaky clean. Do remember to slather some moisturizer on your hands afterwards.

If you have oily hands, you can try rubbing cornmeal on them after washing them with soap.

Go in for regular manicures (professional or homemade) to keep your hands and nails in good condition.

Drink lots of water and fresh fruit juices. Eat a balanced, low-oil diet.

Exercise regularly. If you are healthy and fit, you skin will have a healthy glow.

If the skin of your hands is dry and flaky—you can massage a little petroleum jelly on your hands before you go to bed at night. After you do this, you may wear thin cotton gloves. Wake up in the morning and enjoy the soft feel of your hands.

Take care of dry skin



Take care of dry skin


Dry skin does not only look unappealing, it also feels tight and uncomfortable. Moreover, dry skin is predisposed to premature aging wrinkles, dry patches, redness and rosacea. It has a parched look, and in heavier cases it is characterized by chapping and cracking. We offer some basic tips on how to care for dry skin, but first we must see what causes this condition.

In general, dry skin has low moist levels, which might be a result of several causes

• Oil glands don’t produce enough sebum, hence the hydrolipidic protective layer is thin or missing. This causes the skin to dehydrate, chap and flake.

• Aggressive environmental factors such as wind, air-conditioning, extreme temperatures, as well as chemicals and cosmetics make normal skin dry, and dry skin’s bad condition – even worse.

• The type of one’s skin is often genetically dependent.

• Dry skin may be a result of nutritional deficiencies, especially lack of Vitamin A

and B vitamins

• Medical conditions such as dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis, seborrhea, underactive thyroid, diabetes and others.

• Skin dehydrates because of certain drugs including diuretics, antispasmodics and antihistamines.

How to cleanse dry skin

Dry skin is very sensitive, thus need special treatment. Many women don’t know how to care for their dry skin and often make mistakes that make matters worse. To cleanse your sensitive face, you need to keep in mind the following:

• Deposits in tap water irritate and dry the skin. The worst you can do is to clean your face with hot tap water. You should use cool mineral water instead.

• Don’t use a washcloth – it is too irritating. Use just your fingers to gently apply and rub the skin care product.

• Soap is not a friend of dry skin. Along with grime, it also removes the natural oils that protect the skin. For gentle cleansing use a non-detergent, pH-neutral cosmetic product.

• When you are done with cleansing your face, it is obligatory to apply a moisturizer or a rich nourishing face cream.

• After a bath apply baby oil to nourish the skin of your body. Your skin must be still wet when using the baby oil, so it can “lock” the moist inside the epidermis.

Foods for dry skin

You need to take care of your skin not only on the outside, but also from the inside. Balanced dies is as important as proper cosmetic care. Here we offer some tips on how to eat and what to eat if you have dry skin.

Diet recommendations for dry skin – what not to eat:

• Limit the consumption of fried foods, heat-processed vegetable oils and animal fats. Heating oils are harmful to the skin for they lead to increased production of free radicals. You can increase the intake of raw foods instead.

• Diuretic substances such as alcohol and caffeine should be avoided. They cause the skin cells to lose fluids and dehydrate.

• They are tasty, but bad for your dry skin: soft drinks, candies, chocolate, potato chips, etc. In general: junk foods.

Diet recommendations for dry skin – what to eat:

• Foods rich in beta-carotene: all yellow and orange vegetables, especially carrots. Beta-carotene is an anti-oxidant that is essential for good-looking skin.

• Nature’s way: make sure your diet includes enough vegetables, fruits, grains, seeds, and nuts.

• Foods rich in sulfur such as garlic, onions, eggs, and asparagus. Sulfur helps the skin stay smooth, supple and healthy.

• Cold-pressed flax seed oil: it contains fatty acids that are very beneficial to dry skin.

• Drink lots of water to keep your skin well hydrated – at least 2 liters a day.

How to Remove Cellulite Permanently ??


The fight with cellulite is ruthlessly cruel, but a few simple rules will help you beat cellulite.


The warm weather outside and hint for the upcoming summer may frighten you only if you are concerned by your orange skin.

Cellulite may be really a great scourge, and fighting it is not always successful.

Even if you spend a fortune on cosmetics fighting cellulite, the effect of it may not be so visible. However, there are several rules that have been tested by thousands of women worldwide and in most cases work – they sleek orange skin and refresh it.

We of course are out of the rush to share them, so be ready. Here they are:

Water element

Water is the most useful liquid, but retention in the cells exacerbated the problem of cellulite vision to intrusive. Removal of the excess fluid from the fat cells will quickly fill irregularities in your skin and it will become unrecognizable smooth. You should limit the intake of salt. Drink more water and eat regular natural diuretics such as cranberry, celery, fennel and more exotic asparagus.

Burn the fats

Thin women also have cellulite, but if you have extra fat it may strongly worsen the situation.

Diet with 1400 calories a day /which we will soon offer you details/ and more intensive movements could help in the “combustion“ of subcutaneous fat.

Feed your skin

If you have excess weight, however, it does not mean you should stop taking all the fat in food, as some of them, omega 3 and omega 6 are essential for your metabolism. In addition, they play an important role in feeding and hydratating your skin, as they improve water retention in the cells of the epidermis and not in fat cells.

Therefore, any fish, nuts, seeds and oils are required for your menu.

Natural Look


Putting on makeup can be a daunting task for women who are not really adept at the art of makeup and are not familiar with the right techniques and with picking the right colors for their skin tone and eye color. Common fears include choosing the wrong colors for the skin or colors that do not match the outfit, putting on too little or too much, or botching the makeup altogether. Instead of putting on makeup, there are women who opt for just the ordinary face powder or talcum powder and a dash of lipstick (which may or may not be the right color for their lips either), and then they are done.


Makeup is supposed to enhance the features of our face rather than to cover it, and nothing is more alluring than what is known as the natural look. For those who do not know much about makeup, or know nothing at all, achieving the natural look is pretty easy. The key to doing it is matching the color of your foundation with the tones of your skin, as well as using shades that go well with the undertones of your skin.

A quick tip: when buying foundation, test the match of the product with your skin tone by applying it against your jaw line and letting it on your face for a few minutes. Go ahead and see how it looks like in daylight, rather than in artificial light to see how well it goes with your skin. The perfect foundation for you blends well with the color of your skin, so much that it is hardly noticeable.

If your skin has beige tones. If your skin has beige tones with a touch of peach or pink, the colors you should go for are shades of peach, pink and apricot for your lips and cheeks. Cover up whatever blemishes you have on your skin with a concealer before applying the foundation, and then dust the foundation off with matching loose powder. Make sure that your foundation has SPF because skin like yours burns easily under the sun. Also, try not to put on too much makeup on your face because too much will look harsh on your skin and make you look older. Finish off with a shimmering peach or pink lip gloss.

If your skin has olive tones. If your skin has olive tones, the best way to go is with foundation with warm colors like golden brown. Skin with olive tones is also generally oilier than most, so try to stay away from foundation with shimmer in it to reduce the shine. For a sun-kissed look, apply a touch of bronzer on the apples of your cheeks, the bridge of your nose and a little on your forehead. For your lips, outline it with a nude-colored lip pencil, and then apply clear gloss.

If your skin has yellow tones. If your skin has yellow tones, stay away from ivory or pink for your foundation and stick to warmer hues with a yellow base. Also, avoid using powder foundations; yellow-toned skin tends to get dry and flaky, and so powder foundations will only emphasize this unnecessarily. Finish with a light cream blush, colored pink, on the apples of your cheeks, and a light pink gloss for your lips.

To get a smoother finish on your foundation, apply moisturizer on your skin first as a base. Remember to put on only the right amount of moisturizer and dab off any excess with tissue. Too little moisturizer will make it hard for the foundation to blend, and too much will make your makeup run off your skin.

Achieving the natural look is easy. You don?t have to be a makeup wiz to do it, and it is perfect for those who want the gorgeous yet understated look.

How to Wear Red Lipstick


Red lipstick is a universal classic and has yet to go out of style, according to the fashion magazines, yet many women assume they can't wear it. They're wrong. Here we show you how.

Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest of your face. The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. Go light on the eyes and the blush, otherwise you’ll risk looking like a clown (Cameron Diaz made this fatal mistake at the 2007 Golden Globes). Here’s how to do it: Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara (black for brunettes, brown for blondes and redheads), making sure to apply to bottom lashes (it opens up your eyes). Dust face with powder and cheeks with a soft blush.

Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first, suggests makeup artist Ashunta Sheriff in the December 2006 issue of Harper's Bazaar.

Rule No. 3: Pick the right color If your complexion is pink, you'll look better in plum shades, while girls with yellow tones are flattered by warmer reds that have a brown base, according to celebrity makeup artist Jemma Kidd in the December 2005 issue of Harper's.

Rule No. 4: Don't let nails clash We prefer non-red nail polish when you're going red on the lips. A clear polish or light color is cool, and black polish is a trend that shows no sign of going away anytime soon. If you want to go red on the nails, make sure the color matches your lips. I strongly feel Essie makes the best nail polishes. Check out your red options here.

Rule No. 5: Blending is in Few makeup artists stick to one shade of any lipstick, they tend to blend a few to create the perfect colors. If you've bought a red lipstick shade that's too bright, dark or whatever, don't throw it away. Instead, experiment with other lipstick shades you have on hand to create the perfect shade of red.

Check out pages and pages of red lipstick from high-end brands like Chanel to the good-but-cheaper brands such as Revlon and Cover Girl

Dry Skin Tip: Keep Water Lukewarm, Not Hot


Hot water robs skin of moisture causing dry skin, so it's best to shower in lukewarm water. If you can't bear this rule -- I can't -- try to keep your showers short and try showering only once per day. This also means skipping hot tubs (another rule I simply cannot bear). The hot, hot temperature, combined with drying chemicals, is torture on dry skin.
The same rule applies to hand-washing: Wash hands in lukewarm, never hot, water (this is a rule I firmly abide by). If your skin turns red, the water is simply too hot.
