Beauty Soothers

Good morning to everyone. These are some tips to those people specially to women, of how to beautify your skin. Many got their problem with it. Some use different kind of lotion, but still it won’t work.

Scientists document the amazing power of touch to heal and protect us, new beauty treatments use texture to soothe and de-stress, to provide pleasure as they cleanse, tone, moisturize.

‘TOUCH IS GOOD FOR YOU.” Says clinical neuropsychologist Eric Fishman, PhD., of Wheeling Hospital in Wheeling, West Virginia. “I encourage socially acceptable touch whenever possible—at the doctor’s office, at the beauty parlor, at the masseuse.” In recent study of 60 University of Virginia students. Fishman found that physical contact reduced heart rate, blood pressure and sensations of pain.

The power of touch is one reason day spas are thriving, “Many single and divorce people don’t have much physical contact. Spas provide the human touch, the human connection in a very soothing, safe environment.

At department stores, cosmetics sales reps are getting touchy, some offered free hand massages and some offered manicure with massage. Sometimes they offered back rubs. At beauty salons, any shampooist worth her tips gives a head-and-neck massage as part of the service, while pedicurists have become reflexiologists, kneading pressure points with botanical/peppermint foot lotion before painting toes.

Even everyday beauty products are being reformulated to feed our growing “skin hunger.” Bars of soap are studded with dried herbs; eye creams are loaded with moisture beads that burst on contact. The silicone in Vaseline’s new Intensive Care Moisutrizing Body Wash acts like “teeny, tiny ball bearings so that your fingers slide along your skin. Even the aromatherapy is as much about touch as it is about smell. -Laurie Drake
