To like oneself,
explains Miriam Yemenis, one of the most famous estheticians in this country,
is essential to please others. "And for that we have to start by accepting
ourselves as we are. The first thing to like is to fall in love with you, do
not try to change you. " That is the starting point of the first book of
one of the best specialists in beauty of our country, which puts at our
disposal all the secrets of beauty that he inherited from his famous mother, Miriam
Yemenis. «How to like and like. My Beauty Secrets » is a different and very
personal beauty guide. It is not just a treatment manual. Through its pages,
the author manages to convey to the reader the importance of taking care of
themselves every day so that both men and women feel better inside and out.
"To be handsome do
not measure 1.90 or have a heart attack. To be handsome and to take sides is
learned and enjoyed including simple care in many areas of our lives, "he
says. Beauty, continues this expert, "is not synonymous with perfection,
because it depends on the eyes that look. That is why it is the most subjective
thing I know. Obviously the most important thing is to like oneself, but
sometimes our minds play tricks on us and we are so demanding and strict in the
mirror that we become our worst enemy ».
Each of us, Miriam
Yemenis continues, "we are unique and unrepeatable with some
characteristic that we can enhance ... The hair, other times the eyes, the
mouth, the hands, the legs ... But also the look, a gesture or A way of smiling
and walking that characterizes us. The important thing is that there is
harmony. " "Beauty is not the most important thing, but when you get
up with the handsome climb you leave the house with another attitude?" He
asks. "Of course that's not the most important thing, but seeing you well
helps. Help your self-esteem, to like you and to feel good about yourself. So
it is important that we take care of both our physical and mental health.
"
"How does a beauty
guru advise us to take care of ourselves?"
"Most important,
without obsession. We should not try to change all our physical appearance. As
I said before, it is about highlighting and enhancing the most beautiful
features and disguise those we like less. Do not try to be another person and
change completely. You can make a multitude of small natural changes without
losing the personality or the most characteristic features of each.
-How much or little
should we care?
- It is imperative to
acquire daily routines. It is enough to spend 10 or 15 minutes a day. How much
time do we spend in front of the computer, the mobile phone or the TV without
doing anything? Surely we can all take that time out! In those minutes you can
get to perform the daily cosmetic routines that will make our skin look more
resplendent. Unique to that must be added a healthy lifestyle and a proper
nutricosmetic. Without a doubt, a higher quality of life will be reflected in
our beauty.
"What rituals do
you never skip?"
-The cleaning and toning
for me are two simple steps that everyone should comply, if you intend to
maintain a youthful and radiant skin. For that I am very exaggerated. I am in
favor of double cleaning and up to triple if necessary. Who does not remember
that mythical slogan that said: "Cotton does not deceive". Well, it
can not be more true. If it is not done, the rest of products will not perform
well. No matter what type of skin you have, to remove makeup, or grease or dirt
due to contamination we should opt for a double cleaning. Until the cotton does
not come out completely clean, we should not go to the next product, the tonic.
I insist: At work I see that many people give importance to moisturizers and
serums,
"Is it for them,
too?"
-Of course. Both men and
women should use cosmetics.
- Can we share creams
with our partner?
-The distinction between
male and female cosmetics is due to marketing strategies to sell more. The
distinction would do more depending on the type of skin, mixed, dry or fat,
than sex.
"You hear a lot
about expensive creams just a good wrap." What do you think about this?
Can you achieve results without spending 100 euros per jar?
- In my opinion, it is
not necessary to spend neither 100 nor 500 euros in a cream. That's crazy. In
fact, I personally like small brands, not big ones. Cosmetics is not a matter
of brands, but of active principles. What really matters is the concentration
and penetration of these assets, and that can present a cheap cream. A good
cosmetic is one whose results are noticed if not in the moment, yes to the
24-48 hours of its application. In contrast, a very dense or oily cream can
open your pores in less than 24 hours. It is also important how to apply the
products, since a bad repeated gesture every day can lead to have more
flaccidity or wrinkles than would correspond.
- As for lifestyles ....
what easy and affordable advice our readers offers us?
"Drink water."
It's a tip that everyone knows but few put into practice. Because it seems so
simple, but it becomes complicated in many cases. Throughout my years of
professional experience and in the practices in the hospital as a nurse I have
met with quite a few people who find it very difficult to drink water, even
knowing that such a simple gesture brings so many benefits. Water is not only
good for hydration and for the skin, it also protects the organs of the body
and tissues. Helps to clean kidneys of toxic substances, prevents constipation,
helps to regulate body temperature ...
Facial care according to
age
- From 14 to 18 years is
enough with a good cleaning routine, a cleaner and a basic tonic depending on
the type of skin. If there are acne problems, you can also use a cream to
control the fat and grains.
-With 18 you can
incorporate a basic and fluid moisturizer.
-At 25, no doubt the eye
contour.
- From 30, the steps of
cleaning, toning, eye contour and moisturizer should be mechanized gestures,
such as brushing your teeth or hair. If you want, you can include a serum and a
different cream at night to the day. From that age, it is important that facial
cosmetics be applied to face, neck and décolleté. You can also incorporate into
the weekly routine an exfoliate and a suitable mask depending on what type of
skin.
-At 40, 45 years you can
include all kinds of serums or essences, even mixing them. It is also time to
start with specific neck and neckline products. The creams should have a higher
concentration of active principles aimed at rejuvenating and firming the skin.
Weekly, it would be convenient to use different types of exfoliators and masks
