All of us women love to make-up and to try new products and tendencies. Women around country are each time using more and more make-up to explore their beauty and to be more sensual and feminine.

07 simple steps and about 10 minutes to an angel face

Do not allow that lack of time or day by day activities prevent you from dedicating less than 10 minutes to revitalize your face and remove all tension and stress signs from it.
The well know lymphatic drainage widely used to reduce water retention from our body and to support treatments to eliminate cellulites, is also beneficial to remove the aspect of tiredness from our face. With the elimination of the liquids excess between cells (and the toxins), blood flows better and can better feed our cells, giving us a luminous and healthier skin appearance.
Any person can realize the movements, but if you have undergone surgery and or has a severe acne problem, you should first talk with your doctor. Otherwise, let’s go to the commandments for a successful self-massage for your face.
  • The auto-drainage should be done every morning
  • Before starting the massage, clear your face and do not apply any special product
  • After massage, apply your usual moisturizer cream
  • Use soft to moderate pressure to your rounded movements
OK!!! Let’s start
1-) Start making rounded movements with the tip of your fingers at the region above your clavicle. Repeat it 06 times
2-) Still with your rounded movements with the tip of your fingers, stimulate the region behind the lobule of the ears. Repeat it 06 times
3-) Uses your forefingers to make soft and wounded movements above your eyes, between the upper eyelid and the eyelashes. Repeat it 06 times.
4-) Using the tip of your fingers, make sliding movements from behind of your ears till your clavicle. Repeat it 02 times
With this 04 steps you have completed the ganglions stimulation and your skin is ready to receive the manual drainage to eliminate liquids excess and toxins
5-) With the tip of your fingers make sliding movements from the center of your chin till the lobule of your ears. Repeat it 06 times
6-) Again with the tip of your fingers, make sliding movements from the lateral of your nose to the lobule of your ears. Repeat it 06 times.
7-) Slid the tip of your fingers from the center of your forehead to the lobule of your ears. Repeat it 06 times
Now repeat again the step 4-). You can repeat the all sequence once more if you want and when you are ready to finish, you should conclude your section by repeating the step 2-) and finally the step 1-) to close the ganglions
Below a collage of some pictures I got several time ago from an old edition of "Corpo a Corpo" magazine. Hope that helps to understand the movements, sequence and steps that should be repeated.
Good practice and let us know how it worked for you, ok?

Ultracavitation / Manual Lymphatic Drainage / Tripollar Radiofrequency

This associated treatment is just a great and affordable option to reduce body fat, cellulites and flaccidity.
I have proved and approved!!!! The combined treatment stimulates the rise of temperature in the subcutaneous tissue, changing the grease that is within the adiposities in liquid fat. This liquid fat is drained through the external pressure of the mechanical application and manual lymphatic drainage. Additional, the radio frequency causes the effect of collagen contraction and the acceleration of the metabolism of fibroblasts, which will give us a regenerated collagen and younger skin appearance. Final results are more curves, less fat, less flaccidity, less weight, less measures and improved satisfaction!
Normally it is recommended 06 sections and the therapist take your measures before and after each section as the results are immediately and you leave each section with less centimeters. As always, I could see much more results when associated these treatments together with gym and balanced diet. It is also mandatory you drink at least 02 liters of water every day during the treatment (that should be your target independently of this treatment).
What do you think? Is it for you??

Hydrate your hair to have it long and luminous

I have spent years and years of my life trying to have my hair as long as I could, but the longer it got, the broken and with no vitality it got also. So, the solution was to cut to get strengthen as this was a continuous never-ending cycle.

But then, I have heard the best solution to get my hair longer was to have it hydrated…… I thought what has hydration to do with longer hair? Should it be true? But following my natural curiosity but not too much confident I decided to create a hydration routine to my hair and follow it religiously, instead of only once a while. The results…………….. longer, luminous and much healthier. The reason is that your hair get stronger, so it is able to better resist to natural events such as sun, wind, sea and pool water, as well as to chemical process we are used to, such as color changes, hair drier, iron plates, so forth or so on. If you have same problem, I recommend you to invest and build a hydration routine. My one includes one a week mask intense, I also replaced the conditioner for a mask that can be used every shower and adopted the habit that prior to apply the mask, I dry a little bit my hair with a towel, so the treatment cream has a much more powerful penetration action. I use serum everyday to go out and sleep with a treatment leave-on on my hair. I also use those 03 minutes treatment after the conditioner (now the mask) and the heat protection product before using the hair drier. All together gave me a stronger, luminous and guess what…….longer hair!!!! Build your own routine with your hair stylish professional and enjoy the improvements you will see in the beauty of your hair!!!

If you are struggling to have tender, brilliant and with no frizz hair, or if you lose hair because they are not enough strong to resist to the heat of hair drier and iron plate, below you can find some tips so you can recover your hair, even though you are used to chemicals and other treatments, but the most important comment here is to introduce you to the Argain Oil. If you have never heard about this oil I can tell you that it can make miracles for not only your hair, but also your nails and skin. It is also known and Moroccan oil or “liquid gold” and its anti-aging properties can strengthen and bring back the moisture of your hair as well as recover your skin and nails whenever used in its pure composition. You can also find many cosmetics that use this oil in their ingredients and some that have it as its main ingredient such as the Moroccanoil precuts (www.moroccanoil.com) and several others.  If you are not familiar with this oil, take your time and click in your web browser search engine the words “argain oil” and you will discover the all potential of this natural oil and what it can do for the youth of your hair and skin. 
Well, going back to the tips to recover your hair it is vital to keep it moistened, to use good shampoo without salt (especially if you are used to chemical processes) and to replace your conditioner by a intense mask at least once a week. Also important to take notes that before applying your conditioner and/or intense mask you should dry a little bit your hair with a towel for avoiding waste product as in a wet hair it is tougher for the product to penetrate in your hair. Hope that helps

Rapidlash for dreamed eyelashes

Beautiful eyelashes are powerful way to feel confident and sensual. To get voluminous lashes we have several available tools such as false eyelashes, curled eyelashes, and so on. But for sure one of the most powerful tool I have ever seen is Rapidlash. Differently from the other methods to get the most beautiful eyelashes, Rapidlash works on your own lashes, providing effective protection against breakage and rejuvenating lashes with essential proteins and vitamins. The results are stronger, shiny are  more voluminous lashes. Time to see results are estimated around 2 months of daily usage, but I could see effective results after the first month, even though my lashes were somehow damaged due to the use of chemicals to curl them and continuos use of false eyelashes and its adhesives . I have also used  Rapidlash in my eyebrow and although results are not so visible as in my lashes I could also see some improvements. There are several videos on Youtube that you can watch for more information, other people experiences and reviews. I recommend and hope you enjoy it !
