About essential oils.

Essential oils are not just cool-smelling liquids that we pour into a diffuser. Although this too.

They consist of aromatic hydrocarbons and evaporate after 30-180 minutes from a sheet of paper, leaving no greasy stain. Each drop of fragrance contains several groups of chemical compounds: from aldehydes and ketones to alcohols and ethers.

What mistakes can increase the risk of kidney stones?

1. Lack of fluid intake. Water helps the kidneys to cleanse the body of metabolic products, which turn into stones. 2. Drinking a lot of carbonated drinks. They contain phosphoric acid, which contributes to the formation of stones. 3. Eating red meat in large quantities. Red meat is high in purines, which stimulate the production of uric acid and cause stones to form. 4. A large amount of sugar in the diet. Foods high in sugar and fructose create a favorable environment for stone formation. 5. Lack of calcium. A decrease in calcium in the menu leads to an increase in the amount of oxalates in the body, which gradually causes urolithiasis. 6. Use of protein diets. They increase the level of uric acid in the blood, increasing the risk of urate stones.

Eye patches: fake or reality.

Patches can often be seen in the morning at instablogers. They look aesthetically pleasing, but what's the use of them? The principle of operation of the patches is similar to the work of a compress: due to the “cushion”, the active substances are absorbed longer, dry out more slowly and penetrate the skin better. Ideally, patches brighten, de-puff and moisturize the skin around the eyes. But they cannot be called a serious method of dealing with wrinkles or strong circles under the eyes.

How to get rid of inflammation on the back?

The mechanism of inflammation on the back is the same as on the face, so the principles of care will be similar. Cosmetics should contain the same components that solve the problem of "black dots" or acne on the face. Among them are benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid and sulfur. These components have an antibacterial effect, but do not overdry the skin, as alcohol does. Of course, there are certain nuances: since the inflammation is in a hard-to-reach place, it is necessary to select funds in the format of a shower gel or spray. If you do decide to use benzoyl peroxide cream, be sure to keep in mind that it leaves light stains on clothes.

Why do back inflammations appear?

Wherever acne occurs on the face or body, it is caused by inflammation that occurs when sebum and dead epidermal cells clog hair follicles. But this does not mean at all that improper cleansing can be the only provoking factor. The reasons may be hormonal failures (as a rule, we are talking about an excess of testosterone, the culprit of polycystic ovaries and excessive hair growth), the constant wearing of non-breathable clothing, especially during exercise. All this leads to excessive activity of the sebaceous glands, which is difficult to cope with with the help of ordinary hygiene.
