Before the New Year's Eve

M. S. VASILYEVA, Candidate of Medical Sciences

A woman always wants to be beautiful and attractive, especially in holidays. IN New Year's Eve, perhaps you will go on a visit or receive guests. During the holidays, don't forget to devote at least an hour to your appearance.

Take a warm (4-5 minutes) then cool (1-2 minutes) shower. Rub well with a terry towel until you feel warm. Wash your face hot water I don’t recommend using soap: the skin will begin to secrete more oil and become shiny. It’s better to wash your face cool boiled water.

One of the most important makeup procedures, both daytime and evening, is applying makeup to the eyes. At the same time, we must remember that decorative cosmetics are only good when the face needs it. In most cases, it is not recommended for young girls to tint their eyes, since makeup often distorts young faces, destroying the softness of the lines and naturalness. We must not forget: everything has its time, and what is suitable adult woman, does not suit a young girl. For middle-aged women, skilful painting enlarges and beautifies the eyes.

Having decided to apply makeup to your eyes, you need to carefully check whether the chosen makeup is suitable for you. In these cases, both friendly advice and help from a specialist may be needed. Not always suitable for everyone fashionable colors makeup. Makeup is ideal only when it emphasizes in the most advantageous way characteristics faces. Eyes, let down without a sense of proportion and taste, can make even a pretty young face rude, vulgar and doll-like unnatural.

Eye makeup is done after applying powder to the entire face in the following sequence:

• shade the shape of the eyes;
• shade the eyelids;
• tint eyelashes with mascara;
• bend the eyelashes with curlers;
• tint eyebrows;
• You can add expressiveness to your eyes with a small dot applied with inside eyes (near the bridge of the nose) with a contour pencil or brush.

In order to shade the shape of the eyes, on upper eyelid At the very roots of the eyelashes, a thin and even strip of paint is applied, which starts from the inner corner of the eye and ends with a thin line towards the temple. If required, paint is also applied to the lower eyelid. The line under the lower eyelashes runs from the outer corner to about the middle of the eyelid and ends in a thin line that almost disappears towards the bridge of the nose, resembling a long comma. The paint is applied with a special thin brush or a well-sharpened soft pencil. First, touch the wet cotton wool with the tip of the pencil, which makes drawing a line on the eyelid much easier.

In modern decorative cosmetics, black color is almost never used (very rarely for eyelashes). The rough, harsh tone of black paint suits few people and in most cases completely destroys the femininity of the face. It is best to shade the shape of the eyes with brown or the very common brown-black color; dark gray, green or blue colors. IN Lately mascara and pencil of this color completely replaced the black color.

Eyelids are shaded special tint pencils, stones, thick pastes. Preference should be given to products with an admixture of pearlescent shine, which especially make the face look younger and beautify it, just like shiny lips, regardless of what time they are used - day or evening. When applying any tint cream, the eyelid should not be greasy, otherwise after 3-5 minutes the cream loses its smooth surface.

To enhance shine and strengthen the shade, the skin of the eyelid should be lightly dusted with talc (but not powder), which helps to apply the paint more evenly. If tinted paint is not used on the eyelids, then in the morning the skin of the eyelids should be lightly lubricated with a rich cream. It should be taken into account that with normal skin in at a young age the eyelid has its own natural lubrication, and therefore shine.

Tinted cream or paint pressed in stone is applied with a special stick, flat brush or finger, mainly distributed on the lower part of the upper eyelid and fades away under the eyebrow, towards the temple. The most thick color tint paint should be at the roots of the eyelashes.

The upper eyelids can be shaded to match the color of your eyes or clothing. Brown or grey eyes tinted green, grayish-blue or purple. Grayish blue (silver) color suits any eyes.

For deep-set eyes, the tint should be light. It is applied with a pencil to the very bottom of the eyelid or mainly to the outer part of the upper eyelid, extending beyond the eye line. Before this, the edge of the eyelid is smeared with makeup. white to enhance the color effect.

For bulging eyes, a darker color should be applied to the entire convex part of the eyelid.

Some makeup lovers smear tinted paint on the skin around the eyes, including the lower eyelid. This kind of makeup is not beneficial for the face; it dries out the most delicate area of ​​the skin, where wrinkles begin to appear.

Eyelash coloring. Eyelashes not only decorate the face, but also perform important function natural protection for the eyes, protecting them from adverse influences external environment. The lifespan of eyelashes is 150-200 days. They constantly fall out and new ones grow in their place. With prolonged irritation of the eyelids, eyelashes become thinner and fall out. Therefore, even with slight redness and irritation of the skin of the eyelids, you should immediately take measures to prevent this process.

Applying water-soluble mascara in an eyelash stone. Mascara in stone lengthens, thickens and moderately shades the eyelashes, and also makes the eyes attractive, especially when it is done carefully and skillfully: it seems as if the eyelash stands out more, at the same time the layer of mascara on it is not noticeable. In order to achieve this, after the mascara has dried, you need to comb your eyelashes and use a special round brush or comb to separate them from one another.

First of all, you should color the colorless ends of the eyelashes - this immediately makes them longer; then, if it suits your face, you can increase the length by running the brush from the base of the eyelashes to the tips and to the sides to the outer corner of the eye (towards the temple). It is necessary to color the outer hairs more deeply - this seems to increase the thickness of the eyelashes, and also emphasizes and lengthens the shape of the eyes.

Coloring eyelashes with mascara in stone is quite common. It is more harmless compared to paste or liquid, quickly drying mascara. However, you should clean your eyelashes every night before going to bed.

Use of water-insoluble, quick-drying paste and liquid mascara. Touching up eyelashes and eyelids with quickly drying paste and liquid mascara is far from harmless. From them frequent use eyelashes begin to dry, thin and break off.

Therefore, you should not abuse decorative cosmetics, especially in youth. They can be used no more than once every 8-10 days.

Every evening before cleansing your face, you must carefully and carefully remove the color from your eyelids and eyelashes. To do this, you must first lightly lubricate them with vegetable oil or cream and then remove the paint with a cotton wool slightly moistened in tea or water and wrung out, grabbing the eyelashes with the cotton wool. After cleaning with your fingertips, apply the cream with light movements so that the skin on the eyelids does not move (movements from the bridge of the nose in a circle). During any procedure with the eyes, care must be taken so that no makeup, oil, or cream gets into them, as this can cause irritation, and the paint can even cause inflammation.

For those who use mascara daily, it is recommended to take a break for at least 2-3 days a week, and in the evening lubricate eyelashes and eyebrows with a brush castor oil. This will keep them from drying out and may enhance their growth.

Coloring eyelashes with mascara, especially the lower ones, as well as tinting eyebrows, is not for everyone. Often it deprives a person of individuality and attractiveness. If the line of painting is rough and noticeable, the face appears to be heavily made up, which reduces the effect of makeup in general. Mascara applied thickly to powdered eyelashes also gives the face a rough look. Women with taste know well what they can afford and what will spoil them.

Eyelashes are dyed with a special indelible paint for healthy eyes no more than once every 15-20 days, winter period up to once a month. It is not recommended to keep the dye on the eyelashes for more than 5-6 minutes: with longer use, the skin is also stained, and washing with plenty of water after dyeing and rubbing the skin of the eyelids with soapy alcohol dries and stretches the delicate and thin skin around the eyes, which is most prone to the formation of wrinkles. In the summer, painting eyelashes and eyebrows with permanent paint is much more practical than painting with mascara.

Eyelash Curling done with special tongs after applying mascara, until it dries completely, carefully and not very strong movements. In this case, the pins must be thoroughly cleaned after previous use. Curled eyelashes suit most women. But there is a peculiar type of face with straight eyelashes that should not be touched, as they have their own charm and give the face its own style.

Artificial eyelashes good only for the evening. Before gluing them, you need to try on whether their length suits the shape of the eyes, i.e., the upper eyelid, or whether they need to be shortened. The ends of the eyelashes at the outer edge of the eye (towards the temples) must be trimmed more often than those at the bridge of the nose, and they must be slightly rounded; Otherwise, when you blink, the eyelashes may fall off. For the most part, this happens with deep-set eyes or with a small opening. Since artificial eyelashes are used only in evening light, they should be dark and black in color (if the hairs are very thin).

Artificial eyelashes should be removed at night and the eyelids should be thoroughly cleaned afterwards. The strip that glues the eyelashes should be cleaned almost every time with acetone or dipped in aviation gasoline for 2-3 minutes. Tinting artificial eyelashes is not practiced, as this increases eye fatigue. In addition, tinted artificial eyelashes give the face a rough look.

Today I want to talk about eye care. After all, the eyes are not only a mirror of the soul, but also a reflection of our health and mood. And in order for our eyes to remain beautiful and healthy, we need to take care of them regularly.

Nowadays, the strain on the eyes is increasing every day. The volume of information, digital media, sitting in the office all day - all this, sooner or later, can negatively affect our eyes. And we hardly want this. Therefore, eye care is becoming increasingly important. So we need to gradually, step by step, begin to take care of our eyes so that our eyes remain beautiful and healthy.

Eye care first- this is hygiene. Every evening, no matter how tired you are and no matter what time you get home (even if it’s late at night), be sure to remove your eye makeup. Makeup can be removed with special products, or you can remove it with a cotton swab dipped in warm water. vegetable oil. By the way, this remedy is much better. After all, unlike cosmetics, here you know for sure that you are removing makeup with oil, which also nourishes your delicate skin around the eyes.

Second. If your eyes are red, an excellent eye care remedy is chamomile infusion or linden color. The infusion is very simple to prepare: pour 1 teaspoon of flowers with 1 glass of boiling water, and after 10-15 minutes strain, cool to a comfortable temperature and rinse your eyes with this infusion for several days in a row. (store in the refrigerator, and before rinsing your eyes, pour out as much as necessary and warm up the infusion a little)

If your eyes turn red from strong wind, then it is useful to make a warm compress from chamomile infusion. Make a compress for 15 minutes, periodically changing the cooled napkins to warm ones.

After the compress, gently massaging the lower eyelid, rub the cream into it from the nose to the temples.

Third. If you have dark circles under your eyes, a cottage cheese compress will help you.

For a cottage cheese compress, take two thin handkerchiefs or gauze, wrap a spoonful of cottage cheese in them and place it on your eyes. Hold for 10 – 15 minutes.

Fourth. If you spend a lot of time indoors, try to ventilate the room as often as possible. This will both humidify the air and help get rid of dry skin. It is also very useful to have an open container of water in the room (if it is not possible to purchase a special humidifier).

Do not forget that not only for eye care, but also for the whole body as a whole, you need to drink at least 1.5 - 2 liters clean water in a day.

Eye fatigue can be relieved by looking into the distance or into the sky. You can also rub your palms together, then apply them with pads to your closed eyes and hold for a few seconds.

Also, if you stay in a dark room for 10-15 minutes, your eyes will feel better.

Eye care includes not only compresses, but also gymnastics. Gymnastics is necessary so that your eyes do not get tired. After all, eye exercises relieve fatigue and strengthen the eye muscles. It is very useful for the prevention of myopia and is necessary for those whose vision is no longer one hundred percent.

First. Close your eyes tightly and count slowly to 5. Then open your eyes, lift them up and count to five and close again.

Second. Slowly look to the left and count to five. Then slowly look to the right, count to five and return to the starting position. Close your eyes for a few seconds and repeat the exercise again.

Third. Raise your eyes up, count to three, then slowly lower your eyes down and count to three. Close your eyes for a few seconds.

Fourth. Rotate your eyes from right to left, then from left to right. Rotate slowly and close your eyes for a few seconds between sets.

Fifth. Very good exercise for the eyes, this is when you look into the distance at some object, and then move your gaze to a close object. Repeat several times.

If your eyes are tired, a little eye massage will be an excellent treatment for tired eyes. To do this, sit on a chair with your back to the light source. The back, neck and head should be on the same line. Take a small breath, and as you exhale, from the outer edge of the eye to the bridge of the nose, lightly press the bottom of your palms onto your eyes with rolling movements. By the way, this is one of my favorite eye care exercises.

I also like to rinse my eyes with slightly warm boiled water several times a day. Fatigue disappears as if by hand. You can add a little tea leaves to the water.

And in conclusion, I would like to give a few seemingly obvious, but for some reason not everyone followed recommendations for eye care:

- do not read in public transport or when the light is dim.

— try to rub your palms together at least several times during the day and apply them to your eyes. Hold for about a minute.

- avoid too much tension in the eye muscles, take a break from work, at least sometimes just raise your eyes from the monitor and look into the distance, at the ceiling, or at the next wall.

Yellow, green and blue colors have a very positive effect on the eyes, and on the general mood. Surround yourself with rainbow colors.

Take care of your eyes, give them due attention, and they will delight you with health, beauty and inner radiance all your life.
