Breast Growing Massage Steps

Breast Growing Massage Steps

1. Rub your hands together very vigorously to generate heat.
2. Place your hands on your breasts and feel the heat seep into your breasts.
3. Rub your breasts gently but firmly outwards in circular motions (right hand in a clockwise direction and the left hand in a counterclockwise direction).
4. Perform a minimum of 100 circles and a maximum of 300 circles but you can perform circles of as many as you desire but ensure that you perform the same number of counts on each breast in each direction.
5. Rub your hands together again briskly and reverse directions, i.e. rub your breasts in inward, circular motions in order to stimulate your breasts (right hand in counterclockwise direction and the left hand, clockwise). Performing this direction will actually help to increase the size of your breast as well as the firmness. You may perform this direction only if you prefer and eliminate the outward motion discussed above.
6. Perform these circles morning and night.

Nails and Health: Read the Signs

Did you know your nails can reveal clues to your overall health? A touch of white here, a rosy tinge there, or some rippling or bumps may be a sign of disease in the body. Problems in the liver, lungs, and heart can show up in your nails. Keep reading to learn what secrets your nails might reveal.

Pale Nails

Very pale nails can sometimes be a sign of serious illness, such as:
  • Anemia
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Liver disease
  • Malnutrition

 

White Nails

Fingernail beds that are almost completely white

If the nails are mostly white with darker rims, this can indicate liver problems, such as hepatitis. In this image, you can see the fingers are also jaundiced, another sign of liver trouble.


Yellow Nails

One of the most common causes of yellow nails is a fungal infection. As the infection worsens, the nail bed may retract, and nails may thicken and crumble. In rare cases, yellow nails can indicate a more serious condition such as severe thyroid disease, lung disease, diabetes or psoriasis.

Bluish Nails

Essential acrocyanosis of the hands

Nails with a bluish tint can mean the body isn't getting enough oxygen. This could indicate an infection in the lungs, such as pneumonia. Some heart problems can be associated with bluish nails.

Rippled Nails

If the nail surface is rippled or pitted, this may be an early sign of psoriasis or inflammatory arthritis. Discoloration of the nail is common; the skin under the nail can seem reddish-brown.


Cracked or Split Nails

Split fingernail

Dry, brittle nails that frequently crack or split have been linked to thyroid disease. Cracking or splitting combined with a yellowish hue is more likely due to a fungal infection.

Puffy Nail Fold

Inflammation of the nail fold

If the skin around the nail appears red and puffy, this is known as inflammation of the nail fold. It may be the result of lupus or another connective tissue disorder. Infection can also cause redness and inflammation of the nail fold.

Gnawed Nails

Bitten fingernails

Biting your nails may be nothing more than an old habit, but in some cases it's a sign of persistent anxiety that could benefit from treatment. Nail biting or picking has also been linked to obsessive-compulsive disorder. If you can't stop, it's worth discussing with your doctor.

Tame your eyebrow


STEP 1: Using a brush or brow pencil create a straight line from your nostril to the inside of your eye. This will determine the innermost point of the brow.
STEP 2: Now measure from your nostril to the outside of the eye. That will be the end-point of your brow.
STEP 3: Measuring from the nose to the pupil will indicate the high-point of your arch. 
Now you have the main points of your brow defined. 
STEP 4: Select the stencil that best fits your natural brow shape. The line at the top of the stencil should be parallel to the ground. Apply brow wax inside the stencil to give your brow powder something to stick to. 
STEP 5: Use brow powder or a brow pencil to fill in the shape of the stencil. Short strokes will give your brow a more natural, hair-like look.
STEP 6: Remove the stencil and finish the brow freehand. Clean up any edges and adjust  both sides to make sure they're symmetrical.
The left side shows before the brows were completed, the right side is the finished look.
And voila! Perfect brows every time!

Body Acne: How to Get Rid of It

As you strive to get bikini ready this summer, you may find yourself focusing less on how to tone up flabby thighs and more on unsightly skin issues like "bacne" ... or dare we say it, cleavage zits!  
Sure, acne most commonly plagues the face, but other body parts -- the back, chest, butt and arms -- aren't immune to these nasty eruptions.

Here are five strategies to help keep pesky pimples at bay:

1. Cover up carefully. Fusco recommends non-comedogenic (yes, you need to look for that term on the label; you'll thank us later!) oil-free sunscreens. And when it comes to working out in the heat, make sure to wear cotton T-shirts or tank tops to help wick away sweat. If you work out in a class, bring a towel and always use it on a mat. Mats are teeming with bacteria, particularly the community ones.


2. Exfoliate! Regularly exfoliating your skin helps prevent the clogging pores that give rise to zits. Your best bet: A granular exfoliant cleanser that you can use in the shower to cover all of your acne-prone parts. Oatmeal is a natural exfoliant and some citrus-based cleansers offer similar sloughing activity. Even a soft back brush or a long loofah does the trick.

3. Be proactive. Don't wait until your zits fully erupt to start zapping them with medication. Topical benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid (OTC) is a good start, says Fusco. A new product from SkinCeuticals, Blemish+ Age Intervention Serum, gets rave reviews.

4. Watch your hormones. If you're suffering from irregular menstrual cycles, excess hair growth (in unwanted locales), mood or weight changes or sensitivity to heat or cold, visit your doc. There's a chance you may be suffering from polycystic ovaries, thyroid disease or some other hormonal problem.

5. Avoid the sun. Sure, it's tempting to hit the beach to dry out pimples, but do everything you can to resist. Your risk for sun damage is far worse than the temporary benefit of drying out zits. What's worse, sunbathing with unprotected, inflamed pimples can cause dark spots. Our advice: opt for cleansers and drying agents during breakouts -- and wear oil-free sunscreen at all times.

Beauty Myths About Your Hair

Myth: If you use the same shampoo, it will stop working.
 
Explanation: There is no correlation between bad hair and repeat use of shampoo. It's important to use shampoo for your type of hair (colored, fine, frizzy etc.) but if you love your shampoo stick with it!
Solution: It's always great to try something new but like the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."
