I Hate My Stretch Marks

     One of the great aesthetic problems that suffer many women are the stretch mark, caused by the pregnancy or simply by the loss of weight. Although it can be sufferd by men and women, women have much more possibilities to have them.

     They are the result of breaking the elastic skin fiber, that is, when we stretch too much our skin, some fibers are broken creating what we call stretch marks. The main causes are the lack of nutrition or a bad diet. 

     At the begining these marks have a pinkish colour and a little bit of volume, nevertheless,as time went by they are plane and white.

     The parts of the body where they used to appear are the thigh, bust, buttock, hips and arms.

And now the great question: Can we delete it?.

     Nowadays, there are not any treatment which delete them in the whole way. They can be reduced and get a satisfactory aspect. But,one very important  aspect to take into account is the kind of skin, because not all the skin work in the same way, as I told you in the past review about the hair removal by laser. 

Treatments.

     The best results have been got with the combination of two treatments microneedling and laser, which reduces the visbility of the stretch mark.The microneedling is a roller with very small needles which break the fibrosis of the stretch and help to produce new skin and the laser change the aspect of the marks.

     We can also use natural treatment, but they are only to improve the appearance not to delete. We can use cream or oil rosehip which help with the scars.

Henna Tatoo.

     I love tattoos but I am not able to do it, and every summer when I watch at the beach, people who are doing henna tattos, I think, I will do it someday. Once, I did it, but it was with Indian ink and it lasts 3 days. For this reason, this week I am going to research all the information for doing a henna tatto but at home.

     Ingredients  for doing the henna mixture:

• Henna

• Lemon

• Pine oil, it is going to intensify the colour of the henna.(I prefer black colour)

• Sugar (it is very useful for our skin admits the henna)

• A plastic recipient is not possible to do the mixture in a metal recipient.

• Plastic for wrapping the mixture.

How to do the mixture?.

     1st: To choose the design for knowing the quantity of mixture that we are going to need. If the mesure design is about 5/10 cms will contain a coffe spoon of henna. For a whole arm will be necessary 200 grs.

2nd: Once decided the design we are going to prepare the mixture. We will mix  all the  ingredients except sugar and pine oil. We will move without stopping without forming any lumps.

3rd: We will know that the mixture is ready when its appearance is similar to  toothpaste and if we take a spoon won't drop something.It mustn't be liquid.

4th: Now we will heat some water with sugar and we will add to our mixture moreover some drops of the pine oil, if youy don't like you can opt for lavender oil.

5th: We will cover our paste with a plastic and we will keep far from heat. And we will maintain 24 hours. Once spent the time, we can do our henna tattoo.

Don't use black henna, because it is toxic for our skin or hair henna for skin.hair henna is for hair not for skin.

And now show your henna tattoo!

Bye, Bye My Dear Hair!!

     As we were speaking in the previous reviews, the summer is here and now we start to remember all the things that we have been delaying. One of them is the hair removal, that we are normally conscious when the tights are out and we want to wear our favourite skirt or dress. Don't worry, in the last times, we can find many methods for removing our hair, but, I'm going to analyze which method is the best for you.

     Laser or Pulsed Light. It's one of the most popular ways to remove your hair is via laser or pulsed light. It is made by energy which goes through the shaft down to the follicle, and in this way it is destroyed the hair's root. It's not immediately but the laser weakens the hair until the fall of this. It requires a treatment of 5 or 7 sessions and their price costs around $150 and 500. It depends the number of sessions you are required.

     Now, we are going to treat the specifications of this treatment. It can be done in anywhere of our body, and the ideal people for this treatment are according to the kind of skin, so I'm going to tell you which option is best for you. For it, we must identify which is your tone skin.

Type I: This kind of skin always gets sunburned. It is never tanned. Ex. Caucasian with freckles or pale albino. It is advised ruby laser.

Type II: This kind of skin are tanned the minimun.Ex. Caucasian with light skin. It is advised ruby laser.

Type III: They sometimes get sunburned.They are tanned very slowly. Ex.Caucasian, darker European. It is advised  alejandrita laser.

Type IV:It is strange that this skin gets sunburned and they are tanned.Ex. Mediterranean- American, European and Asian.  It is advised alejandrita laser.

Type V: They have a great tolerance to the sun. Ex.Amerindian, Afroamerican. It is advised ned yag.

Type VI: The sun doesn't affect them. Ex. Afroamerican, African.It is advised ned yag.

The most advisable skin are type III and IV. Because the laser acts in a best way. But in the clinique, they will tell you which is the most adviseable treatment. As much as the light and darkest are the less adviseable for this treatment.

You have to pay attention if you heal in a bad way, because it can produce keloids.

Electrolysis: This kind of treatment has been forgotten since the apparition of laser. But it is adviseable in some cases, such as when your skin creates keloids or if you are going to apply the laser in a part of your body where you have a tattoo, because it can be burnt due to the lack of accuracy, or the adviseable distance between the laser and the tattoo must be of 2 cm, and if the tattoo is bigger, we will have a part with hair, so I recommend you the electrolysis. It is called permanent for the treatment is used a tiny needle that slides down into the hair follicle until it reaches the cells which is responsible of the hair growth. Unlike laser it can be painful, but it is used anesthetic cream.the number of sessions are around 10 or 25. And their price is about $40 or 90 by session. It can be done anywhere on the body but it is more popular on the face.

As I have commented before the darkest skin is the most problematic to treat, and in the case of this skin can produce keloids too.

DIY: Your Tatoo.

     A few weeks ago, I was writing about tattoos. But today, I'd like to tell you what I have discovered in the stationery shop of my local area. Do you remember the transfer that we set in our skin when we were children. Today I'd like to present you the Ederbhard Faber's markers for temporary tattoos. 

     The advantages of these kind of tattos is that you don't have to regret if you don't like the place, the design or tatto itself. You can wear when you want because you can delete it when you want, and they are dermatologically tested for all kind of skins.

     How to draw it?

     This package contains 4 markers of different colous (green,brown, black and red with different sizes) and motive stickers on blistercard. But if you draw well you can draw it yourself or another idea is you copy from your screen to a paper and draw with a marker, cut it and after you can draw it  with the form on your skin.

    The price is not expensive, not more 10$ but you can find them on internet to a best price. How long will they be on my skin?: no more than 60 hours. How to delete it?: with soap and water.

Surprise us with your creations.

Are You Ready To Be Tanned?

     We are almost in summer and we are thinking in being tanned. In previous reviews, we were speaking about the cares related to our body and in this ocassion we are going to stop in what we must do to be ready, but from our inside.

For it, we have to prepare our skin, before exposing us long hours in the sun.

How can we do it?

      1st Of All. We have to prepare our skin, exfoliating it to get an unirform tanned.

     2nd. Once, we have done it, we have to start our particular operation. For it we need to ingest antioxidants, which we can find in many foods, such as (garlics, strawberries, rasberries,cherries, grapes, kiwis, prunes, peppers, carrots, tomatoes, oranges, lettuces, coccoa, spinachs, green tea, onion, meat, fish, corn... ) You will be reading and you aill be asking, very well you are recommendind me this, but why? I'm going to explain you. The antioxidants will help us to our cells to bear in a best way the solar radiation and will help to protect them.

     3rd. Besides these food you have to combine with a good hydration, because the transpiration is higher and the cells are at risk of not having water. Of course, this is important but please REMEMBER NOT SUNBATHING in the most dangerous hours of the day. And always you have a sunbathing , use protection.

     4th. We have to remember to ingest the E-vitamin sice it will help to the use of the a vitamin, since it is the manager of holding our tissues in the best way.


     Last but not least, you should remember we have foods which are more appropriated in winter than in summer.

Make-up For The Wedding Day

It's true that this day, we want all things are perfect: the dress, hairstyle and of course the make-up. The importance of the make-up will have a special importance this day, due to the photos. We have to bear in mind that this day, the temperature, illumination, kisses and huges can modify our make-up, and it will be reflected in our photos. For it, it is advisable this day, our make-up was done by a professional.

 We must take into account different aspects:

 1st: We should do a colour study, from the shoes until the hairstyle and do the make-up holding the armony.

2nd: You should choose a make-up according to your personality, but you will feel disguised.

3rd: The golden rule, you must use a natural make-up.

How to get it?

    As you can watch in the image, the naturality is the main characteristic. If ou want to stand out something, you can choose your eyes or your lips, but not lips and eyes. The ideal is you have your skin a little tanned, but if it is not possible, the make-up will do for you. The foundation should be light with peach shades, that is, it must result you are not made-up. If you decide to stand your eyes out, one idea could be to make-up with smokey eyes style. But if you are going to use this style,you must  remember to take into account the colours you are going to use. Other detail coulde be combine the colour of your necklace with your nails, or what you prefer.



But always, be yourself!!
