Are you worried about your makeup for tonight? Maybe you have an upcoming event or friends invited you out, but you remember that your last makeup was a disaster? Don't worry anymore. I will show you 13 most common mistakes girls usually do, that totally ruin their party night. You will learn what not to do and what you should do!

1. The first mistake isn't about applying makeup itself. It is about how you apply it. Never rush to apply your makeup. Take your time and stay focused. Remember, I'm a professional makeup artist and if I'm not focused I do mistakes, we all do! This makeup can change your life forever. Someone that can become a part of your life can notice you, while if your party makeup is a disaster, they would possibly miss you out.

2. Some girls forget it's important to wash their face with cold water. Cold water improves the blood circulation and makes your skin ready for the makeup. Also don't forget to apply moisturizing lotion. You want your skin soft and ready!

3. So, now is the time for foundation, right? Wrong! Now you check your skin for acne or pimples or other similar skin problems you want to hide. If you have green colored concealer, it's the time to use it. Yes, before the foundation, use the concealer. Apply it directly on the spots where you want to hide the unwanted guests on your skin. If you don't have green concealer, don't worry. Just skip this part and apply your normal color concealers after the foundation. Caution: don't apply too much of the concealer, you will regret that, because the spots will be visible on the photos.

4. Okay, next big mistakes happen when girls choose their foundation color. For a party, specially club party with all the flashy lights, always chose lighter foundation tones, compared to your skin tone. If the club uses ultra violet lights and you use darker foundation your face will look extremely dark, which is very unpleasant.

5. Now we move on to foundation application. This is where most of mistakes happen. If you applied the concealer we were talking about before, don't apply your foundation in rush. If you are used to apply your foundation in right and left motions now you have to change this. Your party makeup will look the best, if you apply it with wet sponge. Just apply some of the foundation on the sponge, then press the sponge on your face. Make just little movements to the right or left. Repeat this all the time, until your foundation isn't completely applied. This way you will avoid moving the concealer you applied before.

6. Many mistakes happen when choosing the lipstick and eyeshadow colors. For party makeup it is important that you chose strong colors. You have to make this makeup different from your normal daily makeup. If you keep it the same, nobody will notice you on the party. You will just be the member of the crowd. But you want to stand out and become the star of the night, right? So, chose strong colors, don't be afraid! Caution. Choose either strong lipstick, or strong eyeshadows, don't make them both strong at the same time. Because they might clash and it could ruin your night. There are however exceptions when this is possible and it still looks cool, but just don't risk it!

7. Next big mistakes happen when girls with those dark circles under their eyes, totally forget about them. If you have them, just use some white eyeshadow to lighten the under-eye area. Don't apply too much, it can look funny. If you don't have white eyeshadow, use concealer.

8. Now, don't make this big mistake when applying blush. Remember. Blush color has to be lighter than lipstick color. Rather use no blush than a darker blush, compared to your lipstick color. I did this mistake once and my cousin ended up looking like someone hit her on the face! Very bad!

9. Party makeup is all about sparkles. Don't hesitate to use them!

10. Did you ever notice that on some photos your face might be much brighter compared to your body? Sometimes it is such a big difference that it is really embarrassing and it ruins your photos? Well this is another mistake to make! Foundation and concealer on your face reflect the flash light. And that's why your face glows so strong. If your shoulders and cleavage are visible, always apply some of the foundation there too. You can also apply sparkles there. Not that it just looks cool, but your face and body brightness will get balanced and you will end up looking so gorgeous on photos.

11. Always check your neck! Usually girls forget about the line they make on the neck. All your efforts, doing this party makeup, will be thrown away if you make that stupid line. Your party makeup will be whole when you take care of the line. Even it out with your neck tone, use pressed powder too, it helps!

12. Well, usually it is very hot on parties and you also get to dance. Your skin becomes wet and oily and on photos you look like a fountain. Very embarrassing! But there is something you can do about this. You have to apply pressed powder foundation. If you don't have one, buy it! It is completely necessary for parties. Your face will never again glow that much on the photos and you will also look much better during the party alone! You apply it the same way you apply the foundation, just not with the wet sponge, but with the dry one that usually comes with it. Don't forget to apply some pressed powder on your body, it looks great.

13. And the last big mistake. The lipstick! Your lips can do wonders when applied correctly. Let me explain what can go wrong here. Your lips have those pores that have to be visible even after applying lipstick. But how is this possible? Well usually girls make the mistake and apply too much material on their lips. The pores become invisible and their lips look plastic, unnatural. And when this does happen your party makeup will get ruined. Now. Chose your lipstick color. Apply it on your lips. Blot your lips with a tissue paper, so that you remove the unnecessary lipstick and your pores will become visible. Now, the magic trick! Apply the crystal clear lip-gloss on your lips. Your lipstick color will remain on your lips, your pores will still be visible and your lips will look totally sexy with the gloss effect. They will also look fuller and nobody will be able to resist your "sexy" lips anymore. This way the lipstick stays on longer too.

That's about it! All the 13 biggest mistakes were revealed. Now it's up to you. Follow my advice and you may become the queen of the night! The right application of your party makeup can totally change your night life, guaranteed!

All of us have some kind of blemish or flaw which can be corrected and made the most of with a few easy-to-perform tricks. Read on as we let you in on a few of the best:

Overly tanned skin

If you've overdone it in the sun (do remember to be especially careful and use high factor sun protection for the face and body) though even with sun cream some of us go so dark it leaves our skin difficult to work with; well don't worry and just follow this advice to bring your face out:

* What make up do I use?

Use a foundation that's the same tone as your tanned skin but with a luminous texture, lightening and clarifying your face.

* What eye shadows flatter me most?

Use clear pearly tones to emphasize dark skin.

* And the rouge....which one is ideal for me?

Use rosy tones with a pearly finish. Cream textures will also make your face fresher.

* How do I make up my lips?

Choose a transparent lip gloss to give volume and luminosity

Very pale skin

Some of us also have skin so pale that our smaller veins show, and the slightest imperfection stands out as the skin is very fine and sensitive. Follow the advice below to correct this and emphasize the skin:

* What make up do I use?

Use a foundation in the same tone as your skin (yes: pale as you may be, don't try to use foundation to increase your colour -this will look unnatural). Use a moisturising foundation with an average covering, and then apply a tanning powder which must be luminous, but with a very light tone, to give just a hint of colour. Ensure you have corrected all the little veins, bags and marks with a good corrector.

* Which eye shadows flatter me most?

Use earthy tones with mid-range colours, such as bronzes and greys ...Avoid extremely dark or light tones.

* And rouge....which one is ideal for me?

If your complexion tends to redden, avoid rosy tones and go for peachy, golden, or earthy ones...

* How do I make up my lips?

Choose a tone similar to that of the eyes but light; particularly if you have fine lips.

Round face

If you have a round face, follow this advice to dissimulate it...

* How can I correct the face?

The blusher is your ally. Use two: one to give colour, the other to correct. The one you use to correct should be in a matt earthy tone, very natural. Use this to give depth to the face.

Apply it directly on the cheekbone, from the roots of the hair to the centre of the face. Also use it around the face, ensuring you smudge it well so it doesn't stand out.

Next, on the same cheekbone, use a coloured rouge, such as pink, peach, or gold; and apply it straight towards the centre of the face.

* And hairstyle ...which one flatters me most?

A hairstyle will help you no end in correcting a round face. Create a wispy haircut that goes towards the face, and avoid haircuts ending around chin level. If it complements you to do so; cut the fringe. This will give you a wider look. Remember that volume should always gather around the crown and never to the sides of the face.

Bulging eyes

If your eyes bulge out a lot, take advantage of this -make the best of it by following these steps:

* Which eye shadow should I use?

Dark and matt! Seize the chance to use matt black, grey, navy and dark green tones; you'll automatically fix this little problem. Avoid light colours and pearly textures.

* And how do I make myself up?

Use the smoky eyes technique, that's to say make up your upper eyelid in the dark tone, and the inner side of your eyelid with a pencil, also applying the dark colour below the eye, just where the lashes begin, smudging it well to produce that trendy smoky look ...

Very thick lips

If you have very thick lips, instead of correcting them: bring them out! Follow these steps;

* What colours do I use?

Use dark tones to bring down the volume, giving you a classical, elegant look. For example: wine red, purples, chocolate brown...Avoid shine, which doesn't mean your lips shouldn't be moisturised, rather the opposite: as they are noticeable, it is very important you look after them properly.

* And how do I make myself up?

If you are going to use a dark lipstick, avoid going over the top in making your eyes up, use a luminous base, give your eyes a touch of light with a light eye shadow you can apply over the whole eyelid, and a lot of mascara. For the rouge, choose a tone from the same range as the eyeliner, for example if you use wine red lipstick, use a pink rouge, or if you use a brown liner use a gold or bronze rouge.

I am not one of those people who like to plan ahead. Because I'm an orange.

In the color personality scheme of things, I love to do things on the fly.

Not this time though. I want to spend Valentines 2008 at The Hersey Chocolate Spa in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Nothing sounds like the ultimate pampering until you combine chocolate and spa together. Their spa treatments involve chocolate in some form, like Chocolate Bean Polish Body Therapy.

"One of our signature chocolate services! We combine the gentle exfoliation of cocoa bean husks and walnut shells with a softening Cocoa Body Moisturizer for superb results. Smells so good, you may want to eat it!"

Or The Chocolate Fondue Wrap ....

"Our exclusive formula of warmed moor mud and essence of cocoa revitalizes and nourishes the skin as it relaxes the body. A luxurious body brushing is followed by the fondue application. The body is then wrapped in a soft warm blanket to enhance the total effect. A Vichy Shower rinse culminates the effect."

I always believe that chocolate is the cure to all the world's problems. Just thinking about lathering myself in creamy, milk vanilla chocolate and rolling around in a tub full of whipped cocoa.... Yes, I am thinking of moving to the quaint little town of Hershey so that I can enjoy these services at a regular basis.

This year's Valentines Day is almost a memory. A couple more hours and our single friends in the east coast can celebrate that the day is finally over.

It's all because the media is now portraying Valentines Day as a day for singles to enjoy being single. Don't buy into that crap - it's just a big deception. If you had a choice, would you want to be single? Really? The truth is .... nobody wants to be single. Everybody wants to be with somebody and not just on Valentine, but for the rest of the 365 days of the year.

Valentines Day is a day for love and romance. Getting Chocolates and Flowers. Maybe a bubble bath and a little bit of somethin'-somethin' afterwards. If you didn't celebrate the day with a partner, then, it is time to start looking.

So, here's a list of dating sites where Mr. Right could be hiding:

EHARMONY
A girlfriend of mine just started on Eharmony and she gives it a big thumbs up. You have to pay for the service, but they provide you with high quality matches. Before you enter open communication with a match, you send questionnaires back and forth to make sure that this could be a relationship worth pursuing.

AMERICAN SINGLES
I personally would give this site a ten star rating. I first used their service about 4 years back and met some really nice quality men. Just not for me, but they were very prime examples of manhood - great job, good lifestyle and ready for commitment. I met my fiance through a friend of his that I met on American Singles. This is an excellent example of why you should take a chance on online dating.

LAVALIFE
My first exposure to online dating, even before I was single. One of my best friends decided it was time to meet "the man" and went on Lavalife "speed dating". Her concept really was to meet as many men as possible and eventually she'll find him. We couldn't keep up with her, she had a different date every night, maybe even two - one for drinks and another for dinner. In three months, she met him, and in another six months she was married. My best friend also met his wife on Lavalife and they where married within one year of meeting each other.

Mr. Right is most definitely out there. You just have to broaden your horizons in order to find him. Who knows? He could just be waiting for you set up an account so he could send you a wink. And the rest could be history as we know it.

Romance is in the air - especially this month with Valentines everywhere you look. But for many people, romantic relationships seem unattainable or current love connections lack the sparks they once created. Feng Shui, the ancient art of object placement to enhance energy flow through a space, is gaining attention as a powerful tool for improving all kinds of relationships.

"Feng Shui can make a marked difference in people's lives," says Linda Binns, founder of the Feng Shui Success Institute and author of Feng Shui for Your Relationships: Changing Your Environment to Create Better Relationships. "But before you start moving things around or making changes to your environment, it's important to clarify exactly what you want to change."

Binns notes that this process, which she calls "setting your intention," is a crucial first step that will guide your subsequent actions. "Perhaps you want to strengthen or rekindle the flame of an existing relationship. Perhaps you want to attract an exciting new romantic partner to your life. Perhaps you want to find a life partner with which to share the future. While there can be a variety of issues or scenarios, it is important to begin by considering your current situation and recognizing what you would like to change."

After setting a clear intention, Binns recommends a variety of actions that can enhance the flow of positive energy in the home, creating a more conducive environment in which to achieve your desires. A few of her basic tips include:

Hydroderm Wrinkle reducer is an anti-aging serum that dramatically diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. With its revolutionary patented collagen delivery system, which transports whole collagen molecules directly to the skin, Hydroderm Wrinkle Reducer is specially formulated to make skin look brighter and smoother. In conjunction with the product's additional key ingredient, Matrixyl 3000 peptides, which reduced the appearance of deep wrinkles by 45% in a user study, Hydroderm Wrinkle Reducer fights aging, fine lines, and wrinkles quickly and effectively.

User Study Shows Matrixyl 3000 fights the appearance of wrinkles with:

Valentine's Day is celebrated as the day you express affection for that special someone. From flowers to candy to diamonds, retailers gear up for the day of love. Adrian McMaster says not everyone gets to celebrate.

"What is the renewal of affections for some couples is the disarmingly bypassed event for many women," says Adrian. It doesn't have to be this way. Adrian mentions his newest book, "Why Men Are Jerks." "Instead of letting another Valentine's Day go by spent with a jerk who could care less, make this a day you stand proud as a woman and declare "I deserve better!""

Here is my list of five warning signs Cupid really may have hit the wrong guy:

1. You pass each other in the hall without kissing.
2. He doesn't know about your promotion at work because he passed out
the day you called him to invite him out to dinner to celebrate.
3. He spends all of his time at home on the computer with the door closed.
4. He has the nerve to insult you, your family and your friends.
5. If he has ever laid a hand on you that wasn't soft and caressing.

"There are so many people who really want to love and be loved," insists Adrian. "You just don't need to settle, my book stresses that." Adrian's book discusses the differences between men and women and how women can best handle cases of indifference or even abuse.

"If you're being abused, no matter what, there is no excuse for it and only good if you get away," Adrian points his finger matter of factly. "Get yourself to a woman's shelter and start again."

After reading Adrian's book, you may just trade in your beer guzzling Neanderthal for a prince charming. Will Cupid pull his bow back again for you? Adrian certainly believes so.

Cellulite - a word most women are very familiar with. Cellulite is the formation of tiny dimples on the skin, usually appearing on the thighs and your bottom. Now dimples were really cute when we were children, but the puffy puckering dimples we find on our body are a curse to most women. Statistics say that over 80% of women develop cellulite.

Cellulite is very difficult to treat. Cellulite is constructed of small pockets of waste and studies indicate is tied to poor circulation and a sluggish metabolism. The most effective treatment involves enhancing your natural cellular function and speeding up your metabolism so it is better capable of eliminating toxic waste from the body.

There is a huge selection of cellulite remedies on the market, all claiming to reduce or rid the body of cellulite. It's pretty easy to get caught up in the hype of the miracle cellulite cure. So how does one determine what will or will not help? Below is useful information to help you make an intelligent choice.

Up until recently most of the treatments for sale were merely topical treatments which by themselves are not very effective at treating cellulite, It is important to remember that until now very few if any remedies were more than simple topical treatments, which alone are not very effective in treating cellulite. There are many creams on the market the mix combinations of vitamins, herbs, and antioxidants. Some will do no more than make your skin appear smoother and healthier. Although a superficial treatment, it will reduce the appearance of the cellulite areas.

The better creams will contain antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and ingredients that stimulate the flow of blood. Cellulite areas are damaged skin pockets which are normally dehydrated. . Increasing the blood flow and reducing inflammation help the skin repair itself. The best treatment comes from the inside out.

We've all heard the commercials or ad campaigns that claim that "their cream" can decrease the size of the thigh and repair cellulite. What these products actually do is draw waste water away from the area, thus temporarily decreasing the size of the thigh and the appearance of the cellulite. This is "not" a cure, but a temporary fix. Any size you lost will be regained as soon as you drink water. Body size is not relevant to having or not having cellulite.

Topical cellulite remedies can be beneficial, however they have little effect if they are used alone. Creams reach only the epidermis [top layer] of the skin. They are unable to penetrate the dermis where much of the damage is. Because they are unable to penetrate the dermis layer and fight the skin damage, many of these treatments are not successful. The surface dimpling caused by cellulite is merely a symptom of the underlying cause.

To reverse the damage you must go beyond treating the top skin layer. Internal treatments and technological treatments can be very successful in treating the underlying problem. Combine science and nature with your topical treatments for real help.

To "really" fight celluloid you need to go within the body. By working inside the body and outside with topical treatments, you'll have a better chance of fighting cellulite. The more of them that you use, the more success you will be in reducing, preventing, and even eliminating your cellulite.

It is very important to strengthen blood vessels/increase blood flow. Strengthening blood vessels and increasing blood flow you increase circulation. Increasing circulation will then allow more blood flow to the celluloid areas so the body will better be able to break down the toxic areas.

The first stages of cellulite and are not visible to the naked eye. The first stages are the result of blood vessels breaking down. Nutrients reach the skin via blood vessels and when the blood vessels are unable to feed nutrients to the skin damage occurs. This damage is called cellulite. It is very important that the right nutrients are actually able to reach the areas that need them. Feed your body antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, water, and collagen. These will act as reinforcements to help nutrients reach the affected areas. etc., the skin has no way to attain reinforcements. It eventually loses the battle to cellulite.

It is important to encourage the Production of connective tissue. This can be done by increasing production of the matrix (GAGs) that make up connective tissue in your body. A strong dermis will help in preventing and repairing cellulite. The connective tissue is the primary water reservoir for your entire body, so it stands to reason if you have healthy connective tissue your body will be much better able to hydrate itself when needed, keep all of your cells, from your liver to your skin, supplied with their ideal component of water, thereby functioning at their optimal level. The most important Internal needed to form GAGs in your body, is glucosamine. Glucosamine is the primary building block of GAGs. Your body also needs B vitamins and trace minerals so that your body can metabolize the glucosamine into GAGs.

It is also important to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. Your body needs ample collagen and elastin to keep the connective tissue strong. When the dermis is strong, fat cells are not able to break through and appear on the surface, with the familiar dimples. Your need to supply the body with amino acids to build collagen and elastin.

Make sure that your cells are fully hydrated. De-hydrated cells become weak and are then unable to hold back the fat from surfacing. By drinking plenty of fluids you keep your body hydrated, which revitalizes your cells. They are then able to push the cellulite forming fat cells back below the surface into the deeper layers of the skin. Keeping your body hydrated has other benefits also, it will keep your skin looking young and beautiful and allow you to better fight disease and infection.
By optimizing the health of your cells they will be able to function at peak levels. Your skin will look younger, smoother, and overall more beautiful.

It is also important to ensure waste is properly removed from the body. If your body is retaining wasted water it can cause problems such as bloating, weight gain, edema, and puffy eyes. It also interferes with your body's ability to repair cellulite damage.

All of us are exposed to the damage caused by free-radicals. Free radical damage occurs from many sources, such as sun exposure, smoking, and a poor diet. Free radicals damage the skin making it more susceptible to cellulite. The best way to prevent and repair free-radical damage is with the use of antioxidants, both topically and internally.

Your body responds to damage by rushing defensive nutrients to the affected area. It accomplishes this by dilating the blood vessels and releasing specific chemicals. What you witness is the skin becoming warm and red. This is inflammation. Prolonged inflammation causes the free-radical damage and cell wall deterioration that it is attempting to prevent. That is why it is so important to use soothing ingredients, both topically and internally, to calm inflammation before it begins doing more harm than good. Anti-inflammatories are widely available in a variety of products.

Exfoliation is a must. By the time we reach adulthood, the rate our cells turnover has drastically decreased, leaving us with a surface of dead skin cells that not only looks dull, it no longer provides an adequate barrier against the elements and water loss. The most effective way to combat this is to exfoliate. Exfoliation removes the surface layer of dead cells. There are many ways to exfoliate. Chemical formulas use mild agents to dissolve the dead cells. Textured soaps, sponges and brushes strip away the surface cells. When you remove the dead cells from your skin's surface, a message is sent telling your body to create replacements. The dead cells are replaced with strong young cells that look and feel healthy. But more than that, these cells are better equipped to stand up to the onslaught of cellulite.

Many effective ingredients include essential oils and botanical extracts. Before using a product is always wise to do a patch test. Some botanicals and antibacterial agents can cause reactions in sensitive skin types.

Aloe Vera juice or oil is extracted from the aloe Vera plant. The leaves are made up of water, enzymes, and minerals such as calcium, aluminum, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, and sodium. But wait there's more. Aloe Vera juice also contains twenty amino acids. Aloe Vera is well known for its healing and anti-inflammatory properties.

Alpha and Beta Hydroxy Acids are used in many cosmetic products. Certain combinations of AHA products increase cell turnover rate and increase the thickness of the epidermis. The effect depends on the product's pH level, the AHA concentration, whether it is a cream or cleanser, as well as how the product is used AHA products make the skin appear smoother and younger.

Lactic acid is commonly found in milk, pickles, and other foods made by bacterial fermentation. Lactic acid can help reduce the effects of photo-aging and can play an important role in the treatment of sun-damaged skin. Glycolic and salicylic increase the cell turnover rate and uncovering younger skin. Hydroxy acids unclog embedded cellular debris from pores and shedding the outermost layer of dead skin.

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a potent fat- and water-soluble antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. ALA penetrates the skin cells the lipid-rich cell membrane and continues to be effective once inside the cell due to its water solubility. ALA works with vitamins E and C, boosting their antioxidant abilities.

Basil extract is used to relieve pain and muscular spasms, and to stimulate blood flow. It is also known for its restorative and anti-inflammatory properties.

Bioflavonoids' have strong anti-inflammatory powers, and are also a strong antioxidant
Niacin improves the ability of the epidermis to retain moisture. When used topically it produces softer, smoother skin with less dryness and flakiness, and it reduces the appearance of fine lines. Butcher's broom root extract strengthens and tones blood vessels. In Europe it is a popular treatment for varicose veins and hemorrhoids.

Carnitine is found naturally in the body. It transports fatty acids to your cells, where they are metabolized. It burns fat and strengthens cells.

Cat's-claw is an effective anti-inflammatory, which also increases blood flow throughout the body. Recently is has been successful in stimulating the immune systems of cancer patients.

The active ingredient in cayenne is capsaicin. Capsaicin not only increases circulation. It also alters the action of the body's substance P which transfers pain messages to the brain. As a result it is effective in reducing both pain and inflammation by short-circuiting the pain message.

Coenzyme Q10 is a powerful antioxidant. Studies have shown its ability to increase resistance to disease and to strengthen the heart. It creates a substance known as ATP in the body's cells which is vital for energy. It also has great antioxidant abilities, as well as boosting the antioxidant effect of vitamins C and E.

Peptides are the amino acid, the building block for collagen and elastin. Copper peptide is a trace mineral that helps the body convert amino acids into this connective tissue. Copper peptides are an excellent source of collagen and elastin production.

Essential fatty acids are so vital that they have been referred to as vitamin F. They have amazing hydrating abilities in topical creams, and when taken internally they help to build up the cell membranes and attract water to cells.

Fennel is a diuretic and an anti-inflammatory that needs more research to find its full abilities.
Ginkgo Biloba is an antioxidant, but it also increases the blood flow throughout the body, expanding the reach of any nutrients in the food you eat.

Grapefruit oil and extract have been used for muscle fatigue, stiffness, acne, fluid retention, and skin tightening, and as an antiseptic and astringent.

Grape-seed extract inhibits the enzymes collagenase and elastase, which break down collagen and elastin. Because grape seed is able to prevent the damage from ever occurring, it is very effective in the prevention of celluloid.

Green clay is sometimes reffered to as a cellulite solution but does need more study to confirm this. Green clay contains many of the trace minerals that your body needs to metabolize nutrients into new tissue.

Juniper berries extract is high in vitamin C. It is used to treat pain and inflammation from arthritis and varicose veins, and to increase circulation.

When Lecithin is taken internally on a regular basis, it aids your body in repairing and strengthening its cell membranes.

Kelp is well known for its anti-inflammatory properties on the skin. It is rich in minerals and has been used to supply the thyroid gland with iodine in some instances. Kelp can also be used to hydrate the epidermis, nourish the skin, and protect elastin fiber.

Pine oil is used as a disinfectant, anti-inflammatory, as a diuretic, and to stimulate circulation.
Pomegranate is fast becoming recognized for its antioxidant qualitites. Studies have showed the that the topical application of pomegranate extract has an effect on preventing skin cancer. Pomegranate is a very potent antioxidants that work primarily in the skin.

Retinoids applied topically over a long period of time temporarily thicken and strengthen the dermis, making it more difficult for cellulite to push its way through.

Zinc, manganese, copper, selenium, magnesium, boron, chromium, molybdenum, silica, and vanadium are all trace minerals. Our body needs these minerals in trace amounts to r metabolize nutrients. Trace minerals are vital to cellulite.

Vitamin C fights an ongoing battle against cellulite and skin damage. Vitamin C breaks down collagenase and elastinase, two naturally occurring substances in the body that attack collagen and elastin. Vitamin C is also a natural anti-inflammatory and powerful antioxidant with proven studies that it is effective in battling free-radical damage within the skin.

Vitamin E, both topically and when taken internally, is a very potent fat soluble antioxidant. Because it is fat soluble it can work its way into the fat-rich cell membranes in our bodies, protecting the cell walls from free-radical damage. Vitamin E is also an excellent hydrating and sealing agent in topical creams.

Many popular treatments claim to reduce cellulite. Treatments range from body raps to massage to surgical procedures.

Body Spa Treatments are beneficial on many levels. Great for exfoliating, toning, and stimulating blood flow. A terrific skin care regime.

Body wraps induce sweating thereby having a temporary diuretic effect. However, fat cells and connective tissue are not affected by sweating. With a body wrap you are covered from head to toe for up to an hour in herbal or seaweed-soaked cloth strips to increase circulation and firm the body's contours. Once you are unwrapped you body is massaged to enhance circulation and send oxygen to blocked tissues.

Watch your alcohol and caffeine intake prior to a body wrap as both are dehydrating. Body wraps are not recommended for anyone with high blood pressure, anyone who is dehydrated, or pregnant women.

Deep-tissue massage consists of slow strokes to create micro tears at the surface level, making tissue longer and smoother. It also loosens the connective tissue so that it moves more freely and no longer adheres to underlying structures. Deep massage followed by lymphatic drainage can make the surface layer of skin more flexible.

Massage can improve the condition and appearance of your skin, however it does not remove or decrease fat cells. It is excellent for increasing circulation and thus moving nutrients to tissues. However, if deep massage is too intense, it can also damage blood vessels, which defeats the benefits for cellulite reduction. Areas with cellulite are already sensitive, so be sure to tell the therapist it it feels like too much pressure is being applied. Deep massage provides relaxation and can stimulate the blood vessels and reduce stiffness.

Dermal fillers are expensive. They are a temporary method that improves the appearance of cellulite dimples. The treatment consists of a serious of human fat injections which make dimples less obvious. Other filling agents can be used rather than fat. The dimples appear less noticeable until the fat is absorbed by the body, then the dimples return to their normal appearance. Not only is this procedure quite costly it is a lengthy procedure.

Electronic Anticellulite Devices are a few noninvasive, nonsurgical treatments for skin contour irregularities. This procedure temporary reduces the appearance of cellulite. A vacuum type device creates suction to temporarily immobilize and lift the fatty tissue, while dual rollers create deep, subdermal massage to the connective tissue. This stretches the connective tissue, increases blood and lymphatic flow, and exfoliates the skin. A session can take from forty to ninety minutes, and entail from ten to thirty treatments as well as a monthly maintenance treatment. If you stop treatments your skin reverts back to its original condition. Long term results have never been established either clinically or scientifically.

The lymph system is the body's waste disposal system. It is the body's natural defense system, clearing away bacteria, cell debris, excess water, proteins, and wastes from the connective tissue and returning it to the bloodstream for ultimate removal by the kidneys.

If pathways become congested or damaged fluids build up in the connective tissue, leading to edema, swelling, and inflammation. When this occurs the lymphatic system transports the damaged cells, inflammatory substances, and waste away from the area. The sooner this occurs the faster the recovery.

Manual lymphatic drainage is a technique that involves a gentle lymph massage, which enhances and stimulates the lymphatic system to remove wastes more rapidly from around the cells and in the tissues, sending it back into the lymphatic system for removal and ultimate cleansing.

For cellulite treatment, the therapist first assesses the condition of the skin: color, texture, temperature, moisture, and elasticity. The next step is to look at the contour of the hips and legs, and hunt for skin thickening, ridges, lumps, and visible scars that run across lymph vessels and may obstruct lymph drainage. The therapist also examines for visible veins, looking for redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Lymphatic drainage is very useful before and after cosmetic surgery to decrease bruising, edema, and inflammation. The effects are only temporary, and it has not been proven to reduce dimpling in the long term.

Mesotherapy are micro injections injected into the middle of the dermis at a trouble spot, to deliver healing or corrective treatment to a specific area of the body. They can be made of conventional or homeopathic medication. They are mixed with isoproterenol, vitamins and a diuretic when treating cellulite. Isoproterenol is touted to melt fat although no clinical studies are available to back up this claim. Up to two hundred deep injections are delivered into trouble The biggest problem with mesotherapy is that there is no standardized mix for the formula. Long-term, chronic cellulite and wrinkles may require at least fifteen sessions before you notice any result.

Microdermabrasion is a popular alternative to chemical peeling that utilizes a blast of aluminum oxide or salt crystals to exfoliate skin superficially, by passing the particles through a vacuum tube to gently scrape away the aging skin. The results are similar to a light peel. Microdermabrasion devices are available for home use, although not as good as a professional treatment the cost is significantly less.

Nonablative Lasers point the laser beam at the affected area, causing the collagen and elastin bundles to heat up and move closer to the surface. This firms the skin and reduced imperfections. The results are temporary.

Peels utilize a strong concentration of a chemical exfoliating agent to resurface the skin. New cells made by the remaining dermis result in a newly healed surface, and healthier, more radiant skin. Chemical peels are very flexible and can be adapted to various levels depending on how deep a peel you want and how sensitive your skin is. Glycolic acid is a common ingredient in peels as it is generally gentler and safer than trichloracetic acid Peels work by damaging the skin to a stage where the body needs to build new collagen and elastin bundles. You might feel a burning or stinging sensation, and there will be moderate swelling of the treated areas for about a week and minimal scabbing, followed by healing and a toughening of the skin

Thalassotherapy is rich in sea minerals and nutrients. The therapy combines the sea nutrients with warm sea water to dilate pores and blood vessels, opening the skin to absorb the sea minerals.

In the end the best way to cure celluloid is simply to avoid getting it. Eat a balanced diet low in fat, drink plenty of water, eat fiber foods, and plenty of fresh vegetables and fruit. Exercise for 20-30 minutes daily to help keep the body in shape, and avoid smoking, alcohol. A healthy life style will go along way towards prevention.
