Making Your Eyes Pop with Makeup

With the help of cosmetics, it’s possible to conceal our flaws and enhance our best features. Many women have been trying to get brighter looking eyes with colored options, and cosmetics can help you get the look you want!

First off, it is important to take care of your health which will in return give you a healthy, radiant glow.

1. Remember to moisturize your skin, it’ll help reduce wrinkles, and give your skin a radiant beautiful glow.
2. Sleep and drink enough. It’ll help reduce puffiness and dark circles which will make your eyes look smaller and duller. It’ll also give your skin and eyes a brighter tone. Not only that, it’ll reduce the redness in eyes, and restore it to its original beauty. If you need daily contacts, then this brand will be your best option.

With make-up, we can now enhance the features.

First off, you'll want to apply concealer to conceal all the flaws on your face like dark circles, redness, etc. The corners of eyes and eyelid are important places to remember.

Next, apply foundation. It's important to apply evenly. Remember, less is more - don't cake your face! Make the skin around your eyes look flawless! Then, apply the finishing powder.

Now, it's time to work directly on the eyes!

Before we start, colored lenses can help keep everything interesting, aside from curling your eyelashes. Curling your eyelashes before using mascara will help it curl even stronger, and the mascara will help hold in some of the curls. If you find curling eyelashes to be extremely hard and difficult, you may want to try warming up the curler with a hair blower before curling your eyelashes.

Next, apply mascara on the top eyelid. It's important to coat it all evenly. After applying mascara, use a brush to get rid of the excess mascara, sort through the chunks, and further encourage the curling.

You may want to apply mascara to the bottom eyelashes too depending on what you think looks better. Sometimes mascara at the bottom eyelashes will further help enhance your eyes while other times, it won't do any good at all.

After applying mascara, apply eyeliner to the top lid. Remember, the thinner the line, the better! Using an eyeliner pencil to get a thin line can be challenging, so I would recommend using liquid eyeliner.

Next, apply eyeliner to the bottom lid; however, make sure it is WHITE eyeliner this time. White eyeliner will make your eyes appear brighter and bigger.

Apply white or silver eyeshadow to your tear ducts next with a Q-tip. Just a bit is needed to make the look complete.

To further enhance this technique, shape your eyebrows to create an illusion that your eyes are bigger, AND apply a lighter shade of foundation to the brow line!

The tradition of Chinese herbal medicine dates back to the Third Century BC. The practice has continually developed in response to changing clinical conditions and has been sustained by research into every aspect of its use. This process continues today with modern medical diagnostic techniques and advancing knowledge.

Chinese herbal medicine looks at the whole person, not just a set of symptoms, and is, therefore, a very different practice to Western medicine. Along with the other components of Chinese medicine, treatment with Chinese herbs is based on the concepts of Yin and Yang and the ways in which the fundamental balance and harmony between the two may be undermined. Diagnosis through pulse and tongue analysis play a key part in Chinese herbal medicine practice - which is based around an in-depth understanding of how the body uses energy, how imbalances can affect its performance and how individual herbs can correct these imbalances.

What can Chinese herbal medicine treat?

Chinese herbs often play a significant part in the healing process and in some cases where chronic forms of certain conditions are difficult to treat with conventional medicine. Chinese herbal medicine can make a significant difference in providing relief and muscle relaxation. Skin diseases such as eczema and psoriasis respond dramatically to Chinese herbs because although the appearance of these conditions may be external, the actual cause originates inside the body.

Gynaecological conditions also benefit enormously from the addition of herbal medicine. In fact, Chinese herbs are used more in gynaecology and infertility than in any other medical conditions. They are also often used after bouts of Chemotherapy to help repair the immune system and restore energy.

How are Chinese herbs prescribed?

Chinese herbs are available in a number of forms - both traditional and modern. The traditional method for taking Chinese herbs is in the form of pills or as a tea made from a mixture of dried herbs that have been boiled in water. Herbs are now commonly prescribed as freeze-dried powders or tinctures. Although they taste unusual to begin with, the vast majority of people get used to the taste very quickly.

Are Chinese herbs safe?

When prescribed correctly by a trained and properly qualified practitioner, Chinese herbs are very safe. It is usually only when people consult with those who are not properly trained, rely on practitioners who do not speak proper English (and may therefore miss a key factor in diagnosis), or mix Western and Chinese medicine without informing the practitioner, that problems arise.

Over the centuries doctors have compiled detailed information and placed great emphasis on the protection of the patient. Allergic-type reactions are rare and will cause no lasting damage if treatment is stopped as soon as symptoms appear. All members of the Register of Chinese Herbal Medicine (RCHM) provide guidance on this to their patients. They are also bound by the regulations of a professional body and hold professional insurance.

Census data show that in recent years, the incidence of hypertension in China has increased. In addition to the age-induced factors, family history, high-salt diet in prostate, obesity endures a high concentration of attention, excessive mental tension, sleep on the audio-visual overstimulation of the work environment, living environment, way of life, as well as mutations, and so on, are So easy to increased blood pressure. As early as the First World War, it was found in front-line soldiers stationed in barracks or blood pressure than residents of high blood pressure. This shows a high degree of mental stress, heavy responsibility, the environment and conflict more closely related to the occurrence of high blood pressure. Psychological research also found that many patients with essential hypertension have certain personality characteristics. Most of these people have the ambition Zhejiang Haosheng, work too seriously, easily excited and worried.

From the 1950s, around the use of qigong-based comprehensive prevention and treatment measures for the prevention and treatment of this disease has made a lot of experience. Such as hypertension, Shanghai Institute of Qigong on a course of blood pressure changes were observed, and with the rest when compared changes in blood pressure evaluation. The results showed that: under the same conditions, the same activities by the patient to rest, can lower blood pressure, but continue to rest, not to continue to lower blood pressure. And Qi Gong exercise is different from practice. It started to decline 5 minutes, 20 minutes to lower blood pressure significantly further. That practice in the process of lowering blood pressure is not simply a break, but the physiological effects of Qigong. Study also found that many patients with high blood microcirculation, increase blood viscosity and viscosity of platelet aggregation, such as increased abnormal blood rheology, and the practice will enable the abnormal microcirculation significantly improved blood viscosity and platelet aggregation decreased .

High blood pressure patients in practice, the “Song of natural quiet”, not only to relax the body, and spirit to relax, so we can better reduce blood pressure caused by the elimination of the spirit of tension, to mobilize the potential of physical, so that the body of rehabilitation Normally receive a better effect. As a result, patients with high blood pressure can choose Song Jing Gong-based exercise, as long as the “Song of natural quiet” before it can be satisfied with the results. If the intended use of the method should pay attention to observe: observe different parts of Italy, while a corresponding blood pressure changes. For patients with high blood pressure should be aimed below the navel Shou-site, the following hypogastric, Jiaoxin (Yongquan Xue), and so on, can play down the role of air so that the drop in blood pressure, clear-headed. In addition, Song Jing Gong on the basis of the Meridian can be guided by self-massage to enhance the effect.

High blood pressure patients should be at least one practice sooner or later the gong at the same time in the day-to-day work, should learn to “Chill out” in good at the rhythm of tension and relaxation in a timely manner, while practicing Qigong, so calm, calm frame of mind, for hypertension patients And prevention is very good.

Since the adoption of Qigong exercise hypertension treatment, not only has a good effect in the near future, but also for the stability of the blood pressure, the effect of the consolidation of the unique role of the drug did not play a lot of roles. As a result, qigong in the prevention and treatment of hypertension is of great value. Can focus on learning and practicing since dispersed, regular follow-up, easy to popularize and promote them.

Acupuncture is often used in conjunction with moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The two techniques are so closely related that they are referred to in Chinese with one word, zhenjiu -- acupuncture (zhen, needle) plus moxibustion (jiu, to burn). A new English word containing these two meanings, acu-moxa, has been coined recently.

However, the intrinsic differences between acupuncture and moxibustion make it necessary to consider their origins separately.

Moxibustion is a type of traditional Chinese medicine that treats disease and disorder by stimulating the acupoints and meridians with heat. The invention of moxibustion was directly related to the discovery and use of fire by prehistoric humans. All animals, people included, instinctively prefer warmth and dislike cold. Even plants exhibit phototaxic or thermotoaxic properties. The application of heat for healing is universal, and has been part of numerous recorded medical traditions including those of ancient Greece and Rome. At some point in prehistory, our ancestors discovered that fire could be used not only to cook their food and warm their bodies, but also to relieve or even cure their ills.

But puncturing the body with needles is by no means an instinctive reaction when one is sick or in pain. Most people prefer not to be punctured with needles, and associate needling with pain and injury. No wonder, "to give somebody the needle," means to displease or to irritate in English. Many plants and animals have taken advantage of this natural response, and evolved thorns or quills as weapons to protect themselves from attack. Needling will cause some degree of physical trauma, no matter how fine the needle or skillful the practitioner. A modern report shows that when a needle 0.2 mm in diameter, the size of modern acupuncture needles, is used to puncture a rabbit, four to twenty muscle fibers and ten to twenty nerve fibers are damaged. The degree of trauma was much greater in antiquity, when needles were much more massive. Even in the more recent past, thick acupuncture needles, up to 2 mm in diameter, were still occasionally used.

What seems even more illogical is that acupuncture is often applied distally, rather than locally. It is clear that the direct application of warmth can relieve local discomfort. It is also clear why it may be necessary to cause further trauma to an injured area in certain situations, such as when surgery is required or a broken bone must be set. But it is by no means obvious why acupuncture often calls for needling points far distant from the location of the problem. One of the principles of acupuncture instructs: Needle the lower to cure the upper. For instance, a common acupuncture treatment requires needling LI4-Hegu, located on the hand, to relieve toothache. It would seem to the layperson that the healthy hand has nothing to do with the diseased head-- why should it be traumatized?

Although acupuncture can sometimes be painful, it causes no serious or lasting injury when carried out correctly. Many people are willing to endure the minor pain of needling in order to relieve a major problem. Unfortunately, acupuncture may seem frightening to some, especially in the West where it is often misunderstood and misrepresented. For instance, the entry for acupuncture in as respected a source as the Encyclopedia Americana contains a picture of a man's head punctured with over seventy needles. However, a properly trained and experienced acupuncturist would never needle in such an exaggerated and excessive manner.

Most surprisingly, among all the holistic systems of healing invented in the ancient world, acupuncture alone was unique to China. There are no corresponding or even similar healing systems in the early medical traditions of other cultures. Acupuncturists today still adhere to the same doctrines and manipulate needles in the same ways as their counterparts in the days of the Nei Jing, or Inner Classic of the Yellow Emperor, the earliest known treatise on acupuncture (circa 104-34 BC). Despite the introduction of painless and non-invasive methods such as acupressure or point stimulation using electricity or shortwaves, needling has remained the primary treatment method in acupuncture.

“Is your acupuncture and Chinese herbs any good for weight loss?” Undoubtedly, this is one of the most frequently asked questions in clinic.

"I've tried ear staples too" they say.

And the feedback we always get from most of our weight loss and obesity clients is “I am confused with all the stuff I hear on the news”.

Does this sound like you? So if you are not sure exactly what to do to lose some weight, read on.

Recently and over the past decade, there has been a huge amount of conflicting information on the various techniques available for losing weight. And it keeps growing.

The need to maintain an acceptable weight is more important today because we now know for sure that being overweight increases our chances of contracting life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer or hypertension (high blood pressure). Even IVF and infertility doctors recommend weight loss for infertility treatments.

On the flip side, you’ll also read on the Depression page that cases of depression, mental problems and emotional disorders (all of these can lead to strange behaviours in some people) have been reported with malnourished individuals, those who are underweight, anorexic, or who suffer from bulimia.

Back to weight loss and obesity in acupuncture.

Consider that your life is miserable when you are overweight, you’ll suffer from decreased vitality, poor energy, loss of confidence and self esteem and more…all leading to a loss in your quality of life.

And it is expensive too. Your medical bills will be much higher if you are overweight, further placing more stress on your finances. This is avoidable of course if you are conscious of the fact that you need to keep your body weight and size down to the recommended level.

And the public health system will do better too; they’ll be able to cope better with life-threatening conditions that could not have been prevented. Just think of that for a moment... Put yourself in that dangerous position... (I’ll wait right here.)

In the battle against the bulge, many have enrolled in expensive fitness programmes and dietary regimes, often resulting in quick short-term loss…only to regain and put on more weight after.

And you have also been inundated with diet and appetite suppressant drugs, newly published diet and fitness guides, low calorie frozen foods and others...all promising that you'll lose a lot of weight quickly and easily.

Now you know that the "quick and easy" promise is a blatant lie, yet many of us fall for it!

Many people have been disappointed through their encounters with the weight loss yoyo and have turned to acupuncture and Chinese herbs for help. We'll call it traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) from here.

Why TCM? Because it tells us what humans have been doing for thousands of years, and continue to do so to solve this problem.

Western orthodox medicine considers obesity as the accumulation of excess fat in the body due to over-eating. Obesity may also be due to digestive, metabolic, or hormonal failures. In some cases, the cause may be congenital. Dietary adjustment with some form of exercise is offered. In hopeless cases, procedures such as stomach stapling or fat suction are performed.

But does it cure the problem permanently?

You know it doesn't...it does not help you maintain permanent stable body weight.

Acupuncture uses the insertion of needles to alleviate certain symptoms in the body. It has gotten wide acceptance among western medicine as a treatment for such things as postoperative pain, anesthesia, menstrual cramps, etc. It stimulates a number of points on the body, usually by inserting thin metal needles into points that are carefully selected to address a particular symptom or set of symptoms. When the needle is inserted the patient may feel nothing, may feel more relaxed, or may feel a warm or another pleasant feeling. The reduction of symptoms can occur quite quickly, as in pain release, or over a series of treatments for the symptom.

The Eastern explanation of how acupuncture works comes from China, from a tradition going back more than two thousand years. In this view, the body works best when vital energy circulates around the body exactly as it should. At this time, everything in the body is balance between two different principles, Yin and Yang. Yin generally is assigned to relaxed, cool, passive objects or feelings. Yang is assigned to active, warm, and assertive objects, organs, and actions. The vital energy flows from one organ system to another to maintain a balance between Yin and Yang. When this energy (known as Qi) is blocked or depleted, the body no longer works well and symptoms begin to appear. Qi is assumed to regulate the well being of the entire person: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The assumption that Qi regulates all aspects of a person is the reason an acupuncture practitioner easily agrees to treat emotional issues, such as depression and anxiety, with as much enthusiasm as treating physical symptoms. In addition, symptoms that may be a combination of physical, mental, and emotional (such as sleeplessness) fit easily into the acupuncture view of an imbalance of Qi and are treated accordingly. It also explains why the diagnosis of an acupuncture patient usually includes questions that go well beyond just the physical symptoms of a patient.

Western medicine has been studying the effects of acupuncture with interest for at least the last twenty years. It is clear that there are remarkable successes, and these studies have documented them. However, finding an explanation for the results of a number of these acupuncture studies is a bit more puzzling, if you need an explanation within the western system of medicine. The present view is that the needles affect the behaviour of the nervous system, and stimulation of the system can assist in the production of biochemicals to produce a particular result. For example, endorphins produced by the body help reduce or eliminate pain, and white blood cells fortify the immune system. However, it is unclear exactly how a particular needle stimulation encourages the production of particular biochemicals. Also, other studies indicate that acupuncture points alter brain chemistry, which affects a number of body functions. This is still a very new and interesting field, and we will continue to see more studies that will help explain the marvellous results of the acupuncture technique. Want to try acupuncture?

Even though acupuncture is gaining wide popularity as an alternative medicine, there are still a number of people who do not know about acupuncture. They presume that it is just one of those healthy lifestyle trends that are known today. However, what they do not know is that acupuncture actually has several benefits to a person’s health and body. In fact, acupuncture originated in the Eastern part of the world.

Acupuncture was actually used to treat wounds, infections and fevers in the early days. It started in China hence, it is called Oriental medicine. But, these days, there are numerous physicians, practitioners and experts who use acupuncture as part of their treatment. It is said that acupuncture is used to treat a number of health conditions. There are some people who treat their PMS with acupuncture. There are also others who would go to acupuncture therapy sessions in order to remedy their chronic fatigue condition.

It is said that acupuncture is the safest and most effective treatment for various ailments. It is considered the safest because of its natural healing way to treat health conditions. Compared to pills and other prescription drugs, acupuncture does not have any side effects. It is natural in a sense that acupuncture actually triggers the body’s natural healing properties in order to treat the ailment. It does now use harmful or detrimental drugs or liquids that can cause more damage than good.

Acupuncture is also believed to be one of the most effective treatments for various ailments. There are a number of studies which show that acupuncture can treat such ailments as PMS, chronic fatigue, muscle spasm, joint pain, arthritis, dysmenorrhea, headache and many others. In fact, there were a number of patients who had health complications and they underwent acupuncture therapy sessions. A few months after their acupuncture treatments, they observed major improvements in their health and there were some positive results.

There are experts and researchers who notice that there are some brain activities every time a person undergoes acupuncture therapy. In addition, patients who were suffering from chronic fatigue show major improvements as well as positive results after undergoing acupuncture therapy several times. It just shows that acupuncture can be the safest and most effective treatment for various health ailments. A person does not have to suffer any longer from his health condition. He just needs to incorporate acupuncture as part of his lifestyle.

If you are an African American that tends to favor black skin care products to even the skin tone, you might want to be sure to take the time to ensure what the product contains before using it. Many of the formulas that are designed in order to even out your complexion don’t contain ingredients you want to be absorbing into your skin. Some of them are actually dangerous.

African Americans have a greater amount of melanin in their skin than other races do. Of course, American Africans are those with the darkest pigment in their skin. These people of darker pigment tend to suffer from irregular pigmentation of the skin, which can either be caused by inflammation, infection, or skin disorders such a Vitiligo, which causes the skin to lose pigmentation, and turn white in some places.

You need to be careful when applying black skin care products to even the skin tone, or even products meant to reduce the presence of ”age spots” on the skin. The quality of the ingredients that the cosmetics companies use in products to balance the complexion are questionable at best, and could come back to haunt you down the road as you continue to use these formulas.

I’ll bet that you didn\’t know that the ingredients commonly used in order to reverse either the loss of pigmentation in the skin or hyperpigmentation were considered toxic or carcinogenic did you? Most people don’t realize that the cosmetics companies regularly use compounds in their formulas that are linked to physical ailments. This is why you have to seek out formulas that are truly all natural to use on your skin.

When applying black skin care products to even the skin tone you need to be aware of what the primary ingredients in the formula are. Often you will be stuck applying compounds like hydroquinone to your skin, which has been effectively banned in certain regions of the world. The European Union did not seem to think that the link between hydroquinone and the development of leukemia was something they were willing to take a chance on.

Other compounds that are regularly used to restore even skin tone are mercury (II) chloride, and ammoniated mercury. Everyone knows that mercury is extremely toxic to humans, but most people don’t even consider the ingredients that are being used to develop their skin care products. Regularly applying formulas that feature these ingredients will allow high levels of these toxins to build up in your system.

There is only one ingredient that I would consider applying to my skin, when it came to compounds present in black skin care products to even the skin tone. That ingredient is Extrapone nut grass root extract, which has been proven to reduce the amount of melanin in the skin by as much as 40 percent. This ingredient is the safest and most effective way to improve skin tone.

Make no mistake about it. If black skin care products to even the skin tone didn\’t feature Extrapone nut grass root extract as the primary ingredient, I wouldn’t even think about using it.
