Milia are whiteheads. They look like a dense, small, white ball.Such formations do not threaten health, but they do not aesthetically either.

Causes of milia

The appearance of milia occurs due to blockage of hair follicle and sebaceous glands by horny masses. The whiteheads usually appear during puberty, but it also happens at a much more mature age. Interestingly, women are more prone to this nasty disease than men. Usually the cause of milia is improper skin care, but in can also be provoked by comedogenic cosmetics, dry skin, improper skin cleansing, excessive sebum secretion. All these factors, affecting the skin, do not allow sebum to come out, and it clogs pores, forming a white seal – a milium.

The most common and most effective way to get rid of milia is a mechanical removal, which should be performed by a cosmetologist. In general, the whole procedure consists of thorough cleansing, disinfection of skin and removal of milia. The cosmetologist pierces the milium with a sterile needle and removes its contents. Only an experienced cosmetologist will be able to remove them without damaging other layers of skin.

The struggle of women with aging and its consequences is always relevant. And, as you know, in this fight, all means are suitable. One of these remedies is collagen face masks.

This substance plays a very important role in a human body. However, as we become older, this element is produced in less quantity.

This is especially evident on our skin: its elasticity and turgor reduces, it becomes dry and wrinkled.

Collagen mask has the following properties, among others:

• * activation of metabolism;
• excretion of toxins;
• hydration;
• smoothing of facial wrinkles;
• prevention of new wrinkles;
• accelerating the healing process of cracks and wounds;
• prevention of rough scars;
• skin recovery after peeling;
• tightening and skin tone maintenance

This cosmetic procedure is especially suitable for fading, dehydrated and dry skin.

The procedure is active and, accordingly, alongside the indications, it also has contraindications. You should not use such masks if you have inflammatory processes, cuts, abrasions, allergic reactions. However, when solving these problems, collagen masks can be used.

Powerful hydration
Due to the fact that alginates attract large amounts of water, alginate mask moisturizes the skin very well. It increases skin turgor and smoothes small wrinkles.

Lifting effect. Non-invasive Anti-Age correction
When hardened, an alginate mask slightly compresses and tightens the face, thereby providing a noticeable lifting effect, reducing the manifestations of age-related changes: wrinkles on the forehead, neck, around eyes and nasolabial folds.
Reduces swelling, improves complexion and blood circulation.
It helps reduce swelling on face and under eyes, enhance resorption of stagnant post acne spots, and reduce blue circles around eyes.

Detoxification. Removal of toxins. Cleansing
Perhaps one of the most important properties of alginate masks is the ability to bind and remove heavy metal ions from the body, thereby providing an anti-radiation effect. In addition, the mask, being a powerful adsorbent, absorbs toxins and cleanses the skin of excess sebum and dead cells. The mask cleanses and tightens pores. In current times of unfavorable environmental conditions, detoxification is needed for everyone, especially for city residents.

Anti-inflammatory action

Alginates have been proven to activate phagocytosis, thereby having an immunostimulatory effect. It increases antiviral and antimicrobial response, prevents development of inflammatory and allergic reactions.

Delivery of active substances into the deep skin layers
Alginate mask, by tightening the skin, and causing pressure on it, allows delivering active components of masks and serums applied under the alginate mask, into the deeper layers of skin, for example, to deliver moisturizing hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatory serum or serum that stimulates collagen and elastin production. Ultimately, the alginate mask significantly enhances the influence of active ingredients because it pushes them into the deeper layers of skin.

Who this mask is particularly recommended for?

Alginate mask will be useful for owners of any skin type, at any age, beginning from 25 years. It is especially recommended for city residents.

• Age 25+
• Dull complexion
• “Bruises” / “bags” under the eyes
• Swelling of the face
• Wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, around the mouth, on the neck, pronounced nasolabial folds;
• Sagging cheeks
• Ptosis
• Stagnant post acne stains
• Enlarged pores

Do you want to freshen up and tighten your face? Try a cooling massage with glass balls to increase the tone and soothe your skin.

The balls instantly narrow capillaries. Thermal action stimulates drainage processes, helps remove swelling, reduce sensitivity and itching of the skin.

Unsurpassed sensations and a great look of your skin are guaranteed!

Balls perform several functions:

• soothes the pain;
• narrow the capillary vessels and pores;
• increase skin tone;
• reduce her puffiness;

It is probably the most luxurious skin care ever.  It consists of a gold coating, which is vital for dull, stressed skin.

Gold ions enrich skin cells with oxygen and promote the excretion of toxins, restoring the energy level of cells. Eventually, it results in production of elastin and collagen (prevention of wrinkles), lifting effect, skin rejuvenation, removal of swelling, disappearance of small pigment spots, and evens out complexion.

“Panda eyes” is what usually said about the traces of mashed mascara under the eyes. But don’t bruises or dark circles by nature look like “Panda eyes”? What is beautiful and natural for cute black and white bears is upsetting and catastrophic for a person, especially if you are a young girl or a woman “without age”. Why do treacherous bruises appear on the periorbital area of ​​the face? Is it possible to prevent the problem? How to get rid of dark circles under the eyes quickly, once and forever?

Did you know that there are two types of circles under the eyes? With a bluish-pink or purple and brown hue? If you have not paid attention to the color before, it’s time to give it a closer look. This will explain the causes of bruising and circles around the eyes, ways and possibilities to remove them.

The brown hue is genetically determined and is nothing more than periorbital hyperpigmentation, which is exacerbated by sunlight.

The bluish hue is the result of weak and ruptured blood vessels under the skin. The skin around the eyes is very thin and sensitive, and as we are getting older the amount of subcutaneous fat decreases, which in the complex gives the face a tired look and provokes the appearance of dark circles.

We know how to solve this problem just in a few procedures. Absolutely painless and without any rehabilitation period.

Modern cosmetology offers a wide range of procedures and tools to maintain beauty, youth and health of the skin. Massage takes an honorable and outstanding place among them. It works effectively both independently and in combination with other manipulations, providing you with a more pronounced result.

Plastic facial massage (modeling massage) is one of the types of manual facial massage aimed at lifting effect. This type is one of the most effective, because the cosmetologist works quite deeply on the problem areas of the face and neck, where the main task is to have a deep mechanical impact on the muscular system, which is the framework of a healthy and well-groomed face.

This type of cosmetic procedure is completely non-traumatic and does not require any tools or devices. The careful movements of the cosmetologist have a deep effect on the tissues, which leads to improved local blood circulation, saturating with oxygen, activating sebaceous glands to produce sebum, absolutely vital for mature skin.

Pigment spots appear as a result of increased production of melanin. The reason for this may be:

• genetic predisposition
• abuse of tanning in the sun or solarium
• changes in hormonal background, including pregnancy period
• age-related skin changes
• post acne
• skin diseases and injuries
• intoxication of the body
• diseases of the digestive system, liver and some other chronic pathologies
• taking certain medications
• abuse of chemical peelings, etc.

The highest probability of pigment spots appearance is observed in women of 35+. At this age, the hormonal background gradually begins to change and the number of melanocytes – skin cells that produce melanin – increases. At the same time pigment spots can appear at a younger age, as well as regardless of the quality of skin care.
