Computer and beauty - allies or enemies forever?

I can not believe that in relatively recent times we do without computers and work, and at home. Calculations done by adding machines, calculators, rulers and counting, listening to music with the help of music centers, media read only on paper, films watched in cinemas or on television, playing board games, and even the news in the beauty industry learned exclusively from the printed matter. Now all this (and much more) successful in providing us with a computer!

It would seem that what is wrong, because this so-smart machine makes us work reveals many new features, makes life more interesting and exciting. Not so simple, with the undoubted benefit of computer technology craze is considerable threat to our health, including beauty.

People who had spent a long time at the computer, say at a variety of unpleasant symptoms: tired, reddened and irritated eyes, pain in the back, arms, general fatigue, irritability, and dizziness. Continuous operation of the computer, especially if the computer furniture uncomfortable, can cause disorders of posture, discomfort in the lower back, neck, shoulder girdle. Suffers from thermal radiation monitor the facial skin, especially in winter, when the air in offices and at home, and so too dry. If you spend hours in front of the monitor, except for dry skin, you can earn the following problems with the face: enlarged pores, wrinkles, double chin, dilated blood vessels, fine lines around the eyes.

Prevent many of these hassles by simply observing the "regime of work and rest," that is, making small breaks in the work on the computer.


We protect the eyes. Every half hour doing very little break, literally 1-2 minutes. Avert our eyes from the screen, translate into some distant object blink to rest your weary eyes, without turning his head several times translate pupils left, right and in circles, do palming - close your eyes warmed up his hands to his eyes in no light , relax, open your eyes in the dark (under the palms) and blink a few times.

Prevention posture disorders, dry skin. Every hour take a break for 5-7 minutes. During this break to go up, stretch, walk, do a little breathing exercise, even just a couple of deep breaths at the open window. Also a good idea to moisturize the skin irrigation thermal or just mineral water. Do not forget to drink some mineral water with lemon or grapefruit juice.

Prevention of fatigue, harmful effects on the skin. Every 2 - 2 ½ hours of work would be superfluous to add to the warm-up and other procedures tea. Tea is rich in antioxidants, especially useful for freshly brewed green tea with lemon. It is estimated that 2 cups of this tea can neutralize harmful radiation computer accumulated skin for the whole day work.

If in the process you are passionate about working hard to control the timing of work and rest, you can use special software which can be found on the Internet and install it on your computer.

The second way to overcome the negative effects of computerization of our lives - the observance of simple rules for keeping order in the equipment and workspace:

- First of all, pick a computer furniture in accordance with ergonomic requirements - the height of the computer desk and chair should fit your parameters.

- Update the technology - because the current models of processors and monitors are now much safer than their predecessors, and electromagnetic radiation, and the noise and heat emissions. Already have displays of the latest generation, which automatically change the picture and brightness according to ambient light sources, which reduces the strain on the eyes. In addition, this monitor is equipped with a timer that will remind you that it's time to get away from the computer and relax.

- Often there is dry cleaning in the workplace, and the processor brush cleaner (blow-out) - except for the fact that it accumulated dust can cause you allergies, the dust also causes the system unit to overheat, which impairs his work and even more dry air .

- To moisten the air in the room, use the special humidifiers, ionizers, air conditioners, or just put some water containers and regularly ventilate the room. Moistening the air in the room, you are helping your skin to stay young and beautiful.

And it will be very helpful attentive and tender care:

- Clean the face and neck with cleansing milk or lotion without alcohol, not tap water.

- Do not miss the next important phase of care - skin toning. Tonics refresh the skin, improve the condition of blood vessels, stimulate the metabolism in the skin and prepare it for a good absorption of the cream.

- If you still prefer to wash with water, use boiled water, or better yet, if it is added lemon juice or herbal infusions: linden, chamomile, peppermint, sage.

- An effective remedy for dry skin - washing rye bread. A crust of bread pour hot water, after cooling filter, the resulting infusion wipe the skin

- Use moisturizers for the face and eyelids, even in winter, but do not go out immediately to frost, wait 30-40 minutes. As an office of moisturizer cream ideal Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief from Clinique. It is suitable for all skin types and has a light texture and absorbs quickly, and most importantly it can be applied to the surface of the face as often as you see fit, even over makeup. So one of the breaks you may well be able to moisturize the skin lost moisture portion of the tool.

- Do not neglect moisturizing face masks

The mask of flaxseed. Useful once or twice a week to make a mask of flaxseed. 2 tablespoons of flaxseed add 0.5 liters of water and cook until the seeds have not yet seethe. Then, using a brush to put weight on the face and cover with moist hot compress. After 30 minutes, wash off the mask with warm water and apply a moisturizer. When dilated vessels on the face should be applied a cool mask.

The mask of kiwi. Excellent tonic, moisturizer for the skin, which is subjected to constant influence of the computer is the mask of kiwi. Yes, and it is just great! Take one fruit, cut it with a spoon to remove the flesh from the halves on a plate and mash to a state of pulp and apply on the face. Hold for 10-15 minutes and rinse with cool (preferably boiling) water.

- Diet and the menu structure is extremely important in the prevention of harmful effects on computer vision, nervous system and skin condition. Intensive work on the computer increases the need for vitamin A eye, the same vitamin opposed and dryness of the skin. Carotene (protovitamin A) is found in most orange fruits and vegetables. Rightly considered that the most powerful natural eye vitamins are blueberries and carrots. The intense brain activity requires a constant flow of B vitamins, so be sure to include in your diet foods rich in these vitamins: peas, lentils, cottage cheese, oatmeal, seeds and nuts.

However, there is one thing: a food concentration of vitamins may be insufficient to prevent the problems associated with intensive work on computer technology. But that does not matter, there are specially designed vitamin and mineral supplements for people working on the computer. For example, the "fetters" - vitamin-mineral complex with lutein. The composition of this preparation than lutein and include vitamins A, C, E, and minerals (zinc, copper, manganese, selenium), so that use of such a complex is not only for the eyes.

Take breaks at work and use them properly, apply the correct computer equipment and furniture, do not skimp on the attention to their skin, and then the computer will not cause any harm to health and beauty, and will be our best ally. After all, where else but on the Internet, using a computer, we learn a lot of interesting and important things, including those from the world of fashion, beauty and health!
