All about eyebrows…

• To begin, get your eyebrows done by a professional. Check the technicians own brows before you start. This is a good way to know how good a professional is.

• Once you have your brows professional shaped you can do regular maintenance with the help of a good quality plucking tweezer. Remember its much easier to tweeze one or two stray hairs everyday than to remove a bunch after several days.

• Tweezing should be done after a shower or bath to loosen the hair. If your on a short schedule you can either moisturize the area or place a warm washcloth over the brows for about 5-10 minutes before plucking.

• Always tweeze in the direction of the hair growth.

• Never try to copy someone else’s brows. The shape of the brow depends on the shape of the face. Enhance your natural brow when tweezing. Never try to change the shape of your natural brow arch.

• After tweezing rub a soothing cream or gel, such as MALEANA CHINESE TEA GEL over the brow area.

• Always remember that eyebrow tweezing is an art. It needs good skill and a lot of patience. In addition to creativity what you need is good vision, great lighting, quality tools and a high sense of symmetry.

How to Remove Age Spots With Liquid Nitrogen

Age spots are caused by the extra production of melanin, which is the dark pigment that gives our skin its color. This can happen because of sun damage or old age. Using liquid nitrogen has proved to be a successful treatment in removing age spots. There are a few things to learn before having it done, but afterwards you can look and feel younger.

instructions :

Step1

Find a physician in your area who does liquid nitrogen therapy or cryotherapy since you can't do this at home. Some physicians recommend taking a painkiller like ibuprofen about half an hour before you have the procedure to help lessen the pain, which is minimal. Tell your physician what medications (including herbal supplements) you are taking since he may tell you to stop taking them before the procedure. Have someone with you to drive you home afterwards.

Step2

Relax as your physician sprays the liquid nitrogen on your affected areas. Since liquid nitrogen is quite cold, it may sting or burn while you are having the procedure. You may have to have up to three treatments to completely remove your age spots since the skin must completely thaw before you can have it done again.

Step3

Go home and relax and don't be surprised if you experience some discomfort in the area that was treated. This is normal. A few hours after you've had this treatment your skin may become swollen and red; it may also blister and scab.

Step4

Be patient as you continue to heal from your treatment since it may take as long as two to four weeks for the scab to completely fall off. However after that you should see new healthy skin from where the scab previously was.

How to Have Younger-Skin

Water is Wonderful!

Do you feel like your skin has lost its luster? Younger looking skin has a glow that is generally not present or begins to disappear in some women at a relatively youthful age. How do the movie stars keep their skin looking so young and vibrant? Here are some ideas to help maintain the appearance of youth.

Instructions

Step1
If you are young and can still avoid the damage, please, stay out of the sun and tanning beds! It is the number one cause of aging. Avoid it like the plague. If you want a tan get a self tanner, or spray on.

Step2

Smoking is the second fastest way you can age your skin. It depletes the body of essential nutrients and causes aging of all organs including the skin. It also causes wrinkling due to the repetitive facial motions.

Step3

Speaking of vitamins, take a multivitamin. Particularly vitamins E and B complex are beneficial for aging skin and vitamin C helps collagen production. Biotin is also helpful for skin and hair. Lecithin helps elasticity.

Drink alcohol in moderation.
