How to care for curly hair: tips and routine

Curiosities
Face
Perfect curls have to be silky, long-lasting, well-defined, not frizzy with humidity and not lose shape, but for all this they need to be perfectly hydrated. Curly hair needs daily care and maintenance; it is the only way not to have tangled hair with a neglected appearance.
This hair is very prone to drying out, so all the products you use should be specially designed to hydrate it to the maximum. One trick is to always leave the conditioner on longer than usual and never give up on the mask at least 2 or 3 times a week.
Women of the past combed their hair with a brush and little more, but now no one wants to give up having several styles within the same hairstyle. You can choose between wearing your hair with a defined curl, very marked or with a wet effect (similar to when you have just showered and combed). But for this, you need different products and different ways of applying them.
Defined curl. You want dry hair but with your curl marked and perfect, with the appearance of wearing it as if you hadn’t put anything on it. Mousses, creams and curl activators will be of great help; you just need to apply them with your fingers to slightly damp hair and dry your hair with the diffuser of the dryer at minimum (with your head upside down).
Very marked curl. You will get hard and marked curls and choose the same products indicated above but in their ultra-strong version. As the hair dries, do not touch it again with your fingers so you don’t end up with most of the product on your hands. Waxes and total fixation lacquers are also very good for achieving this effect.
Wet curl. Here the products have to be applied with wet hair (remove moisture just with a towel). Once applied, comb with a wide-tooth comb and don’t touch it again. If it falls on your face, use bobby pins, and also scarves, etc., because if you use your hands continuously, you will remove the wet effect little by little.
If you notice that with the three effects your curls are more defined at the ends than from mid-length upwards, cut a little at the hairdresser, so that by weighing less, the hair will curl even more.

Uñas acrílicas: ventajas, cuidados y contraindicaciones

Belleza
Curiosidades
Seguramente te resulta muy atractiva la idea de poder lucir unas uñas largas y bonitas, pintadas en los colores que más te gustan, pero tus uñas se rompen con facilidad, o no tienes tiempo de hacerte la manicura o, aún peor, nerviosamente te las muerdes sin darte cuenta, con lo que el aspecto de tus manos difiere bastante del que te gustaría tener.
Si este es tu caso, tienes la solución en las uñas acrílicas, que te permitirán lucir unas manos bonitas y bien cuidadas. Sin embargo, para conseguir los mejores resultados, debes tener una serie de cuidados de este tipo de uñas:
– No uses agua demasiado caliente al lavarte las manos. En primera lugar no es aconsejable para el cuidado de tus manos, y por otra parte corres el riesgo de que se despeguen porque el agua caliente disminuirá la adherencia del pegamento.
– No te apliques crema de manos ni sobre ellas ni debajo de ellas.
– Recuerda que, antes de ponerte las uñas acrílicas, debes aplicarte una capa de sustancia antibacterias que te ayudará a evitar que hongos y bacterias ataquen a tus uñas.
– No utilices un quitaesmalte con acetona, sino uno específico para uñas acrílicas.
– Si fumas, ten mucho cuidado con no acercar el filtro del cigarrillo a tus uñas, ya que puede mancharlas de ese tono amarillento que los fumadores suelen tener en sus manos.
– Debes despegar las uñas después de que hayan pasado entre quince y veinte días para verificar que no se ha producido irritación, hongos o algún tipo de alergia en la uña como resultado de la aplicación del pegamento. Si todo está bien, vuelve a pegártelas.
– No olvides cepillártelas todos los días bajo las uñas con un cepillito y bicarbonato de sodio.

Acrylic nails: benefits, care and contraindications

Beauty
Curiosities
Surely the idea of showing off long, beautiful nails painted in the colors you like most is very attractive to you, but your nails break easily, or you don’t have time to do your manicure or, even worse, you nervously bite them without realizing it, so the appearance of your hands is quite different from what you would like.
If this is your case, you have the solution in acrylic nails, which will allow you to show off beautiful and well-cared-for hands. However, to achieve the best results, you must take a series of care steps with this type of nail:
– Don’t use water that is too hot when washing your hands. First of all, it is not advisable for the care of your hands, and on the other hand, you run the risk of them coming off because hot water will decrease the adhesion of the glue.
– Don’t apply hand cream on them or under them.
– Remember that, before putting on acrylic nails, you should apply a layer of antibacterial substance that will help you prevent fungi and bacteria from attacking your nails.
– Don’t use nail polish remover with acetone, but one specifically for acrylic nails.
– If you smoke, be very careful not to bring the cigarette filter close to your nails, as it can stain them with that yellowish tone that smokers usually have on their hands.
– You should remove the nails after fifteen to twenty days have passed to verify that no irritation, fungus or any type of allergy has occurred on the nail as a result of the application of the glue. If everything is fine, glue them back on.
– Don’t forget to brush them every day under the nails with a small brush and baking soda.

Benefits of apples for skin and health

Curiosities
Health
In various studies and research, scientists have demonstrated the anticancer and antioxidant properties of apples.
That apples are rich in vitamins is something we are already familiar with, but now a new quality is added: its anti-cancer function and therefore its possible usefulness for the prevention of this disease that so concerns us.
After studying the components and properties of the apple, researchers reached an important conclusion: the apple has an inhibitory function on cancer development, thanks to the presence, especially in the peel, of two phytochemical substances that act together (flavonoids and polyphenols).
Specialists also discovered that the fruit has great antioxidant properties due to its vitamin E content.
The results of the experiment were published in the journal Nature, and one of the project leaders, Professor Rui Hai Liu, explained how the combination of these substances gives this fruit its anti-cancer activity, and not the individual action of each.
In the laboratory, research is usually carried out on vegetables for the identification and isolation of phytochemicals with anticancer properties contained in them. Scientists are interested in isolating and defining the benefits of components such as vitamin C, vitamin E and beta carotene; among others.
Pill intake can be replaced by fresh fruit intake
Researchers have found that most of the antioxidant effects of apples come from the action of phytochemicals, while vitamin C is only responsible for a small part of that activity.
In various studies on the subject, it has been shown that eating 100 grams of fresh apple with skin provides the body with the same amount of antioxidants as eating 3 vitamin C pills of 500 milligrams each. Antioxidants are useful for preventing damage to cells and tissues caused by oxidation. According to specialist Liu, sufficient antioxidants can be obtained from foods (fruits and vegetables) without worrying about their toxicity, and it is better than taking pills.
His research is also aimed at proving the importance of phytochemicals for human health, since some of them contain known anti-allergenic properties, but there are also other phytochemicals that possess anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-proliferative properties.
Laboratory reports confirm their benefits
A group of American professionals and scientists treated colon cancer cells with apple extract and discovered that it inhibited the proliferation of cancer cells. Dividing the apple into skin and pulp, the results were that apple skin extract inhibited cancer by 43 percent and pulp by 29 percent.
In the case of liver cancer, skin extract inhibited cancer cells by 57 percent and pulp extract by 40 percent.
These results were received with optimism by the American Cancer Society, although they preferred to take these conclusions with caution. They consider it too early to say exactly which substances in apples provide this protection, stating that for now «the best way to reduce cancer risk is to eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables.»

Si nuestra meta es que los ojos se vean mas separados, hay que aplicar un tono claro en la parte interna del parpado y el mas oscuro en el exterior, difuminándolo hacia las sienes. El delineador se traza empezando casi en la mitad del ojo y estirando hacia fuera.
Maquillar ojos redondos
Para alargar los los ojos con el maquillaje hay que aplicar una sombra clara en el interior y con la oscura sombrear el borde del párpado, alargando hacia fuera. Luego, con el delineador, trazar una línea empezando desde el centro del párpado, de esta manera dará la impresión de ser mas alargados.

Para los ojos pequeños lo mejor es optar por tonos suaves, evitar los oscuros y dar un poco de luminosidad en el centro el párpado. Aplicar el delineador sobre el borde de las pestañas superiores y la mitad externa de las inferiores.
Maquillar ojos saltones

How to do eye makeup according to eye shape

Beauty
Face
With the help of shadows and eyeliner, a subtle play of colors and lighting can be carried out, with which you can disguise close-set, too-separated, droopy, round eyes… With these simple and basic rules, you can do your makeup like an expert, taking into account your needs.
Makeup for Wide-Set Eyes
To make wide-set eyes appear closer together, apply a light shadow on the upper eyelid and a darker one on the lower part. It is best to avoid pearlescent colors. In this case, to outline, start from the inner corner of the eye, next to the tear duct, on the side of the nose.
Makeup for Close-Set Eyes
If our goal is to make the eyes look more separated, apply a light tone on the inner part of the eyelid and the darkest on the outer part, blending it towards the temples. The eyeliner is drawn starting almost in the middle of the eye and stretching outward.
Makeup for Round Eyes
To lengthen round eyes with makeup, apply a light shadow on the inner part and with the dark shadow shade the edge of the eyelid, lengthening outward. Then, with the eyeliner, draw a line starting from the center of the eyelid; this way it will give the impression of being more elongated.
Makeup for Small Eyes
For small eyes, it is best to opt for soft tones, avoid dark ones and give a little luminosity in the center of the eyelid. Apply eyeliner on the edge of the upper lashes and the outer half of the lower ones.
Makeup for Bulging Eyes
For bulging eyes, pearlescent shadows should be avoided. It is best to use a light tone on the eyelid and a darker one along the crease. With the eyeliner, draw a dark line on the upper and lower lashes.
