The Evolution Of Beauty Over The Last Century

 

They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but there is no point in trying to dismiss society’s concept of the ‘perfect woman’. In the last 100 years the body of the perfect woman has taken on all different body shapes and forms.

The Gibson Girl

For example in 1910 the ‘Gibson Girls’ was the personification of the feminine ideal of beauty which was portrayed by illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. This ideal woman would be tall and slender yet have ample breasts, hips and buttocks. She would also have a over exaggerated ‘S’ curve torso shape which was achieved by wearing a tight corset.

The Flapper

However fast forward just 10 years and we see quite the opposite. The exaggerated curves have all but gone and replaced with a small bust and hips. The sex appeal of this look had migrated from the chest down to legs with many garments of the time having a shorter knee-length hemline.

New Acne Food Pyramid

When it comes to health topics there are always a lot of mis-guided information being thrown about. Don’t do this, or don’t do that! The truth is although there can be scientific research to back one theory up or another at the end of the day everyone is different. Don’t get me wrong science gives us a great base to build up from but sometimes what science says works for 99% of the population may not work for you.

No One Silver Bullet To Cure Acne

Acne has to be one of the most myth riddled skin conditions known to man. Again there is literally hundreds of different ways to treat acne and help with the skin condition. The thing is acne can be triggered by varying things so while one treatment may show amazing results another may be useless. However one thing that does stand out time and time again is how important our diets are and the effect it can have on health.

If you are battling acne and are struggling to find something that works you should take a look at the new acne food pyramid which put simply suggests that anyone suffering from acne should avoid any high sugar or added starch foods.

 

Beat Cellulite With Brahmi!

The Super Power Of Brahmi 

I am guessing the first question will not be “how does Brahmi help with my cellulite” but “what is brahmi?”. Brahmi is a Ayurvedic herb which actually has quite a few health benefits to brag. 

Brahmi has been said to boost memory and can even promote hair growth but it doesn’t stop there. This super little herb also has properties that can help to prevent and also fight cellulite. How does it do this?

Well according to research papers by Poznan University of Medical Sciences it helps to repair and maintain the connective tissue in the skin as well well as increasing micro-circulation. If you have a anti-cellulite cream at home have a look at the ingredient list, chances are this herb will be listed somewhere on the label.  

Are There Any Side Effects

Brahmi should be only be used short term and appropriately.  There can be side effects which include nausea, dry mouth and fatigue. If you are on medication please consult your doctor before using as it can render some known medicines ineffective.

The Top 10 Worst Celebrity Tattoos As Voted By You

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As a leading tattoo removal clinic in London we have seen our fair share of bad tattoos. In fact the word ‘bad’ doesn’t quite do justice to some of the atrocities we have seen come through our front doors that are ‘permanently’ inked into people’s skin. From portraits of loved ones that look more like a nursery child’s crayon drawing to famous and motivational quotes that have the most obvious of spelling mistakes there seems to be no end.

Some celebrities are known to be a little out there, their quirkiness and erratic behaviour is what makes them stand out, heck it’s what makes them who they are. We love and adore them for it but sometimes even for their standards they manage to cross that very fine line. Here at the Premier Laser clinic we had a debate as to who had the worst celebrity tattoo and couldn’t come to a definitive answer so we decided to put it to the experts, you guys! We released a survey to the general public and collected in the results.

*Drum Roll*….Coming in at number 10:

#10 – Louis Tomlinson

Coming in at number 10 is One Directions very own heartthrob Louis Tomlinson. Louis had this inking back in 2013 as a tribute to the bands hit song ‘Little Things’.  After having his tattoo he posted a snap on Twitter with the caption “You can’t go to bed”, which was a clear reference to the tracks lyrics “You can’t go to bed without a cup of tea”.

#9 – Tulisa Contostavlos

Back in September 2012 Tulisa said in reference to her tattoos ‘I’ve got five’ before adding ‘But one of them is a secret tattoo that you don’t know what it is or where it is”

Just the following year later Tulisa, aka The Female Boss, seemed to expose this ‘secret’ inking whilst on holiday in Marbella after she had split from her footballer boyfriend Danny Simpson. The former ‘X Factor’ judge unveiled her hidden etching to the world when she sported a small white bikini whilst partying at the Ocean Club with TV star Chelsee Healey. Tulisa clearly didn’t hold back with the intimately placed ‘Lucky You’ tattoo which was located just north of her bikini line.

Gained Weight? AVOID These 10 Things!

 

So you have put on some extra weight during the festive period and want to lose it. Don’t worry you are not alone, many people gain weight after Christmas due to eating and drinking in larger than usual quantities.

Some people start to panic and take actions which can actually make the problem worse. Relax, take a breath and stop stressing. There are numerous ways in which to lose weight which mostly consist of a structured exercise plan and a well balanced diet BUT whatever you do, do not do these common mistakes:

Do Not Skip Meals

This may seem like a good idea but studies have shown that it can actually hinder your weight loss success in the long term. Why? When your body isn’t getting what it needs through food it will keep hold of what you do feed it, preparing itself for when you starve it making weight loss very difficult. Also by eating healthily on a regular basis you avoid feeling over hungry which can lead to you making bad choices i.e. them tasty looking biscuits in the fridge.

Do Not Weight Yourself Obsessively. 

Weighing yourself is important if you want to lose weight as your weight is a quantifiable bit of data that tells you if you are heading in the right direction or not. However your should only do this once a week in the morning. Since your body changes throughout the day your weight will fluctuate and will provide you with unreliable readings also by constantly weighing yourself you are adding unnecessary pressure on yourself which can hinder your weight loss attempts
