Facial Exercise

To begin with, there are 44 muscles on your face. The idea of exercising your facial muscles may not be that easy.However, with only 10 minutes a day working out the facial muscles,you can see major results in certain area.By doing facial exercise you can shape your face and achieve better skin.
A facial exercise can help you to gain back your younger,smoother and firmer face. Applying cream alone on the face is not enough. A firmer and younger looking face can be achieved by consistently adhering to doing facial exercise.
Cream and serum will be absorbed much better after facial workout/massage.The skin texture will become tighter and will result in elimination of wrinkles.
Ladies as early as 20 are getting wrinkles due to work pressure and high stress level.
So ladies, the next time you go for your facial appointment, make sure you ask for facial with more massage, since massage is another form of facial exercise.

The Importance of FACIALS (Pt. 2)




Why do we need to do Facials on regular basis?
Dead skin cells come up to the surface of your skin on a daily basis. As a result,the complexion losing its radiance and the face ends up looking tired. Once that happens, the pores clog up with impurities, toxins are less easily eliminated and penetration of products (serums etc.)are blocked. This is the point at which you really can benefit from a total salon cleansing.During this time, you will experience a time of total relaxation, a wonderful time of bliss.Afterwards, your skin will breathe better and your complexion will become radiant once again. Usually treatment results are immediate for all skin types. You will be able to look in the mirror and clearly see the beneficial effects of a salon facial treatment on your face.
During your facial, the following will be done:
1.make-up is removed
2.face, neck and chest are cleansed.
3.Followed by a deep pore cleansing (double cleanse).
4.Steam
5. Scrub
6.Massage cream is then applied. This helps lubricate the skin making it easier to do the massage movements, which help to stimulate the skin.
Benefits of Massage:
a
.to increase circulation of the blood to the face which will help the products to penetrate better
b.relaxation
c.Using lymphatic drainage to remove toxin from face
d. helps prepare the skin for extractions and
e. total relaxation.
7.After the massage, any extractions, if needed, will be done.
8.. A relaxing mask is then applied and left on for approximately 10-20 minutes. This helps soothe and relax the skin.
9.The face is then toned. Toning the skin removes any residual make-up or cleanser that may be left on the skin.
10.. Lastly, the skin is moisturized and sunblock is applied.
NB. Massage is not suitable for teens/adults with acne/pimples.

Beauty Tips

"Zest is the secret of all beauty. There is no beauty that is attractive without zest. -Christian Dior"



Yes,'zest' is the key word here. Without zest (keen interest) there's no desire whatsoever to do anything. The same goes to taking care of your body. You need to take care of your body from head to toe. It is a daily routine .
Hair: Starts with your hair 'crowning glory'. The way you wash your hair can hinder or help your scalp, hair and style as well. Experts suggest that you should apply shampoo on completely wet hair and only on the hair nearest the scalp. Massage your scalp thoroughly before you rinse it off.
Eyes: The eyes 'mirror of your soul' should be treated with care. In order to have a healthy as well as beautiful pair of eyes, you need to take plenty of fresh fruits and veges. Involve in regular exercise for blood circulation in order for the eyes to get enough supply of oxygen.The best medicine to keep your eye healthy is to drink a lot of water.
Teeth:One effective tip for dental care is to change the tooth brush regularly and to choose proper toothpastes. Regular visits to dentist is a must. Try to avoid taking too much sugar, soft drinks and chocolates.
Skin: This is the largest organ of the body.
One effective skin care tip is to drink a lot of water during the day. It leaves one's skin with a healthy glow.Consuming fresh fruits and vegetables can be helpful for getting healthy skin. Pamper your skin with proper skin products. If possible try to use herbal base skin care.
Hands: Hands are often the most overworked and ignored parts of the body. When doing any house cleaning work, wear rubber gloves to keep dirt and harsh chemicals from affecting your hands. However, nails tend to puff up when soaked in water and shrink back when dry causing them to become fragile, so make sure that your hands are not immersed in water for prolonged periods. Take a good moisturizing lotion and massage your hands for 5 minutes. A good massage helps in blood circulation, softening the skin and making your hands beautiful.
Feet: Most people forget to take good care of their feet which results in incomplete makeover. An unkempt feet can ruin an entire make over of a person. A nice pair of feet complements a pair of nice sandals. So try to soak your feet at least once a week in warm water (mix with olive oil) for 10-15min. and then scrub them to remove the dead cells. Moisturise your feet at night before going to bed and put on your old pair of socks. Your feet will be better by morning.
So to wrap up,
'Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the BELIEF that she is beautiful."-- Sophia Loren
