Have you heard about mauna - the practice of silence?

Agree, sometimes we women really miss just being silent. Therefore, I would not be surprised if this practice was invented by men. Well, if without jokes: Mauna is the Hindu practice of silence. And it's not just a denial of words. Rather, it is one of the ways to comprehend the inner harmony that we all aspire to. Giving yourself a vow of silence, you need to refuse to consume any information. You can’t even read books or work correspondence, scroll through social networks, and even more so watch the news. Strictly speaking, you need to provide the mind with a state of complete silence.

Brand Augustinus Bader.

Augustinus Bader challenged the beauty world with the unheard-of statement: “All your skin needs is one cream.” No eye creams, neck creams, serums, tonics. Because everything else is marketing, cosmetic brands put us on a daily beauty routine and force us to buy new jars. So, the brand entered the market with just two products that were designed for different skin types: The Cream and The Rich Cream. Everything, nothing more! Did this uncompromising honesty work? Has the company managed to win the love of the consumer? Yes! Augustinus Bader managed not only to grow from $7 million to $70 million in just 2 years, but also seriously shake the traditional foundations of the cosmetic world. Have you heard of this brand?

Brand Augustinus Bader.

How can a cosmetics brand in just a few years become one of the best and grow a company worth $70 million?

At one of the events, Bader met French financier Charles Rozier, and together they set about creating a revolutionary skin care product that would change the market. They succeeded.

Castile soap.

Have you ever heard of this? So I didn't until recently. And this soap, by the way, deserves special attention and in the Middle Ages was worth its weight in gold. What is so special about it? Castile soap is a natural soap brewed with 90% extra virgin olive oil. The remaining 10% is usually coconut or castor oil. What is the wow effect? It's all about the olive oil. It contains many useful substances, including essential fatty acids. First of all, we are talking about oleic acid (85% of the content). It improves tone and softens the skin. Plus, we know that unrefined olive oil is full of vitamins and antioxidants. Therefore, soap brewed from this oil nourishes, softens, and removes inflammation. In short, it does everything we need.

Neuroscientists from Ohio quite unexpectedly pounced on a medicine familiar to everyone. “Paracetamol seems to make people feel less negative emotions.

There are three types of luck.

This is samadhi. Have a nice rest inside yourself! And good luck!

Meditation is not concentration or thinking about something.

This is the ability to let go and remain an observer. Our emotions, thoughts change, activity inside and outside increases many times over: sounds, movements, birdsong, wind noise, etc. During meditation (usually it takes 10–20 minutes), you simply are “inside yourself” and continue watch all these processes.

American doctors for the first time cured an unborn child from a deadly genetic disease.

American doctors for the first time cured an unborn child from a deadly genetic disease. Doctors at the University of California, San Francisco have for the first time cured an unborn baby of a rare genetic disease that can cause babies to die shortly after birth.

Why do forehead wrinkles appear?

Reason number one - too active facial expressions! Other common causes are sun exposure, improper care (or lack of it!) and bad habits. How to deal with active facial expressions? If you are an emotional person, then it is extremely difficult to constantly control a wrinkled forehead. Many women choose to block muscles with botulinum toxin injections. Of the minuses - the face becomes less "alive". Also, addiction is a problem: over time, injections need to be repeated more and more often. We are for a natural, albeit more complex mechanism - reducing stress and working with your emotions. A difficult, but very effective way in the long run.

About serums and creams.

We recommend using serums daily. To enhance the effect, you can fearlessly use them twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. Why close the serum with a cream? The cream has larger molecules and a higher density. It seals in the beneficial ingredients of the serum and creates a protective barrier. Thanks to this, the beneficial components of the serum will stay in the skin longer and give a greater effect. How long can the serum be used? It depends on its composition. There are therapeutic serums with relatively aggressive components - acids, retinol. Such serums should be used in courses. If serums do not contain aggressive components and are part of the basic daily care program, then there is no need to take breaks in their use. Can multiple serums be applied consecutively? Yes it is possible! Moreover, a competent combination can give a synergy effect. However, be careful in terms of the combination of active ingredients. Most of the aggressive components are not "friends" with each other.
