Spa Secrets . In a healthy body - a healthy spirit, and vice versa: only with a healthy spirit will the body be healthy. To the body was able to fully relax, the brain must be in a state of relaxation. To do this, you need to create a pleasant environment, an intimate, relaxing atmosphere. It is desirable to work on all sensory organs and perceptions: sight, hearing, smell, touch, taste. The secret of the effectiveness of a home SPA procedure is the following:
1. For a SPA-procedure, allocate free time: whether it's half an hour or the whole day - it does not matter, the main thing is that at this time you are not disturbed. Set aside for tomorrow everything that you do not need to do today. Disconnect the phone.
2. Arrange the order in the room where the procedures will take place. Hide and remove everything that hinders the eye, irritates and does not like it. Create a soft muted lighting, windows are better curtained - bright sunlight will only interfere.
3. Turn on a quiet, melodic music, for example, with the sounds of nature: the singing of birds, the sound of the surf or waterfall.
4. Light the scented candles or aroma blender with your favorite essential oil. Arrange the candles in the corners of the room, surround them with a bath.
5. Try not to eat for an hour before and after the procedures, drink more water, and then limit yourself to a light salad and fruits.
Cleansing, exfoliation, moisturizing, detoxification are the main SPA-strategies for skin care. Use professional SPA cosmetics with exfoliates, antioxidants and hydroxy acids. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals and slow the aging process. Alpha and beta-oxyacids narrow and purify the pores and provide a mild exfoliating effect. Removing the keratinized layer, hydroxy acids smooth wrinkles, eliminate pimples, pigmented spots, stimulate the natural process of regeneration.
Advice:
1. Before applying scrub, bend over the hot chamomile infusion for 5-7 minutes, covering your head with a towel. Dead flakes will become softer and supple to exfoliate. Use peeling creams and gels or prepare a scrub yourself, mixing, for example, semolina with olive oil.
2. Do not abuse scrubs: frequent exfoliation can injure the skin. Scrub on the basis of plant components (for example, apricot kernels) can be used no more than once a week.
3. Apply a moisturizing cooling mask to your face after you wash the scrub. Use ready-made masks from cosmetic SPA means or prepare a mask yourself, for example, by mixing the pulp of fruit: banana, orange, kiwi, strawberry or black currant.
4. Apply a thick layer of mask on face, neck and décolleté for 20 minutes, rinse with warm water, and apply moisturizing cream.
5. Avoid masks from sweet apples: they can cause small inflammatory processes on the skin.
6. Try a mask from cosmetic clay: it cleans, refreshes, smoothes the skin, has antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects.
To itself skrab. Mix honey with sea salt - this mixture perfectly cleanses and nourishes the skin, removes excess fluid from the body, tones up and improves microcirculation, promotes weight loss. Honey with salt can be used for both peeling and wrapping. As a nutrient-moisturizing mask for wrapping, a mixture of yoghurt, crushed fruits and brewed oat-flakes is perfect.
Skin is a self-renewing organ, from the surface of which every day millions of tiny horny scales are repulsed. With age, the skin is slower to cope with this process, and the stratum corneum is thickened. Exfoliating SPA treatments (scrubs for face, body, legs, feet) remove dead cells and open an updated soft layer.
Advice:
1. Deep Cleansing
After steaming it is necessary to conduct a deep cleansing of the skin of the body. This can be done using a special gommage (scrub) based on algae, chocolate or salt. Rub the scrub with the palms or a soft cloth with neat circular movements on the wet body in the direction from the limbs to the trunk. Then thoroughly rinse the scrub, pat the skin with a soft towel and apply lightly moisturizing cream or lotion.
2. Wrapping
The bravest can go further and make a real SPA wrap. It is desirable that you someone helped, - a friend or a close person. Prepare a food film and a warm blanket. Put on the bed, and preferably a deckchair, an unnecessary sheet. Use SPA masks from the series of professional cosmetics or prepare yourself. Evenly apply the mask on the body, gently wrap the film, lie on the sheet, cover it on both sides, and on top with a warm blanket. Silent music and an aromatic wand will enhance the feeling of bliss. After 20-30 minutes, rinse under the shower without soap and gel, put on a soft terry robe and cozy slippers, pamper yourself with herbal tea, then the way out of the state of relaxation will be easy.
