Warning: LONG. Only for the specially interested.
But as what I was trying to contribute was so unapppreciated and poorly received here I've now started writing a book on the subject instead (after being encouraged by my Employment supporters) and thought I would chance my approach and instead ask of any advice from YOU.
Anything would nbe very much appreciated (as long as it's at least half-serious) and this is just as much about health as it's linked so closely together. A better looking body-part is a healthier bod part for the most part - a full head of thick beautiful hair will have its origins in healthy hair cells, more than anything (so that's where our money should go, to nourish your hair cells, and not the latest glossy shampoo).
In short, what I'm looking for is:
Theories and knowledge of what makes the human face and body beautiful (proportions/shapes/colour harmony, etc.). How genetic facors play into it all (this is what I find most complex, though I assume better genes = better organs overall, including facial features, and also better shapes of all the organs). As well as better health which leads to better looks overall (why alcoholics/addicts are not the prettiest sight).
How conditions in the womb , and how the mother's health and nourishment affect the health, and consequently appearance of the growing child (this is a big one - I have two identical twin sisters, one came out pretty, or a 7/10, to use common language, the other well below average, and also somewhat mentally/socially retarded).
- Nourishment in the formative years (up until it's full grown, but especially while beaing breastfed).
- Environmental factors and accidents that might contribute (like sunlight and exposure to electricity). I was electrocuted in the womb, for intstance, which I believ might have contrivuted to some lack of symmetry which my parents don't show (al though this was easily correctd with facial exercises - a slightly lopsised mouth, mostly).
- Diseases which might leave some permamnent effect (Johnny Rotten's exceptional visage is said to have been a product of Meningitis, although this I don't know).
- Lifestyle factors throughout childhood and all through life - diet, exercise, fresh air, lack or exposure to sunlight (extensive sun exposure can age skin as much as 10 years if no measures are taken to protect or heal skin from the damage) and anything that can affect your health and appearance for the good or bad (practically unlimited options these days, but I'm thinking more of the basics).
- General grooming and cosmetic treatments. Mainly want to hear about natural and self-made cosmetics from natural ingredients as these are the only I see as having any benefit, while the others have shown much proof to do more harm than good apart from moisturising and immediate cleansing effects (fine for teenage years).
Also, any harmful effects of it. Normal make-up (and skin care products)2different are VERY toxic, for instance, and I notice women who wear it daily age much more rapidly, and in a different way, as if the skin cells and tissue detoriorate in a way those who never wear any do. In fact, my guess is this is one of the reasons women age more quickly than men. Men just never get that detoriorated look, even when they reach their 60s. I also rarely wear make-up (as well as being vegetarian and staying out of the sun) and only use natural cosmetics and I always get taken for being 5-10 years younger (I am 27). But I could say I was 20 and no one would laugh (I'm also looking into how necessary the visivle aging process actually is).
- Any experience with the new "Actives" that have come on the market in the last decade. That is, being able to buy those active, supposedl effective ingrdeinet which they put in regular cosmetics, assumabl in amounts to have any effect, as well as no way to check out quality. Which allows you to use them in very concentrated forms and be able to observe the results for ourself. I have experienced some myself and also read about others experiences and the results have largel been very impressive.
What I'm talking about are things like: Acids, in their pure form, that you can use at home on yourself instead of paing a fortiune to have a plastic surgeon or dermnatologist to it. Vitamin-C serum (can also easily be made by ourself by mixing Ascorbic Acid with glycerin or Aroe Vela Gel (for the healing effect). The latter is indispensable when experimenting with substances as these for it's rapid healing effect. Copper peptides,Retinol or similar, Hydrauloic Acid, etc. etc. (Diane Yvonne is a great, affordable source for all these (I assume "Sourcing" for harmless health products is allowed?)
AllI can say is all these can make a dramatic difference, as opposed to regular cosmetics, no matter what claims they make. You won't believe it before you've tried it. I remmeber the first time I tried a regime of Vitamin A-cream/Retinol with an exfoliator (the Obagi regime) and a blender to even out the skin tone, I was AMAZED how my skin felt like a baby's skin when it had all healed and peeled off (though a bit wax-like and artificial, as adults are not meant to have skin like that, but, hey, it worked).
Also, any recomendatins for natural skin care/make up brands if this is allowed (mine goes to DR. Hauschka (especially their almond meal cleansing cream and Melissa skin cream, simply divine, and affordable too (Primavera is basicall the same, I think). The Organic Pharmacy is wonderfully luxurious but less valuable for its purposes, I feel, and cost a fortune (most goes into packaging and marketing). While another problem is most natural brands ae prett bunk these days after the trend took over the commercial market and nonly a few are really worth it (I can list those I can recommend if you like, or you can PM me, as I am somewhat of an expert in the field).
As well as any homemade stuff (freshly made with tons of nutrients). Some of my favourites include honey and egg white mask. Honey with cream/creme fraiche is great (Cleopatra had it right, I should know, as I might have been one of those reponsible for preparing some of her baths - when I wasn't busy trying to lure Marc Anthony away from her). Just to give you all a laugh at my lack of sanity, but it's there in the akashic records, apparantly, and I was only a humble servant, though there was also a reason for me being there.
Either way, back into the realms of sanity, it all makes more than sense. Only idiots would believe chmicals could be better for an biological organism than actual nourishing substances suited just for that purpose. Anything made from fruit, vegetables, buts, grains, seeds, diary, etc. are superior to anything you can find on a shelf. ANYTHING. Apart from a few of those actives like Vitamin-C powder as it provides those nutrients in a moe concentrated form.
And for lightening my hair I like applying some 6% hydrogen peroxide until it's as light as I want it, and then just rub it into my roots once a week to keep it up. This is mcuh more gentle for the hair, and doesn't destroy the hair cells, rather than fring them in one go. You also get to control nthe colour for yourself.
This turned out long, but thought I would give instead of just asking to get this time, so just read it in parts if you find it too much. Just a few more points to mention.
- All the new technology that has been develpd for a variety of purposes. Lasers , thermal treatment machines (to restore collagen), different forms of coloured lights that does different things (blue is purifying, green healing, etc.) electro-stimulation (tichtens muscles and is virtually a successful facelift as it reall tightens up slaccling muscles) Especially now these machines can be bough and done at home as much as you want. (So you have technology both to tighten the muscles and skin = seems like a superior facelift to me). Only tried the electro-stimulation, but definitely works.
There are a large veraity to choose from and most seem to have som merit if you can get a high qualit (sually expensive one, but not as expensive as a plastic surgery procedure gone wrong). And genrally, the ones sold for home-use are much weaker and the really strong ones mustbe perfomrmed at a doctor's office. But this is nnot necessarily a bad thing, as a slower more gradual approach can be just as ngood or a better thing, s your body has time to asjust and isn't hit with the shock all at once. But some are necessary to be done at a surgeon's office.
- There is also one great new invention I think might be put above all the rest - oxygen treatments. I have seen some amazing results from this, nf from women who go to have it done every month. Oxygen being one of the most esential things for the functioning and very survival of any bodil tissue (it would stand to reason it would be a very effective weapon against aging, or to even reverse aging). I suspect this to be the cause of the much younger, purer, and generally healthier look of the rich and famous lately, like royalty, Madonna, and the like. They age, but their skin and tissues don't age. It's also very puifying/detoxifying and can get rid of toxins which build up over age and is a agreat contributor to the aging process. So this none I have great belief in. Try it once oe twice if you can afford it and see for yourself. I will when I get a bit older but I have other means to get those effects as of yet.
- Facial massage and exercise. Nothing short of miraculous as it can achieve sooooo much. Massage cab basically help keep the tissues firm and in shape, detox, help take the nutients in and moving around, and take in more oxygen. Willcan take years off your face that wa and just make you more pleasent to look at. Just make your facial tissues (skin, muscles, and all) more healthy and give your face a more healthy, youthful, glow.
Facial exercise to begin with works in a similar way as facial massage just much more powerful, so if ou do regular exercises ou might not need massage. This can indeed achieve a lot. A perfectl effective substitute for a facelift, or any other kind of lift (like lower eyebrows or smaller eyes due to sinking eyelifs (caused by weakening of the eyelid muscles). The muscles around the eyes are also very small and easy to lift. Take some patience, and I am obsessive and impatient, so like to spend at least an hour, sometimes one and a half, when I'm trying to get some results (maintaining is much easier, half an hour can be enough).
Un-ideal features can also be corrected. Like assymetricies, due t differences in muscle stength, or lack of it all together - like a slack jaw or mouth - "handog" look, for instance. Also cheeks can be built up to make you seem to have higher cheekbones which is actuall ideal for women, as female cheeks are narturally made up more of fat, giving a softer look. It's male cheekbones that are made up more of bone, giving a harder look (hence Linda Evan's somehow unnatural, inhuman look, despite those glorious cheekbones anyone would die for, but they would look better with a cushion of some fat).
The injections performed to give this result I'm also not a big fan of, and look somewhat akin to lip injections (think Janice Dickinson). Facial exercises is where it's at (and maybe a very slight injection skillfull done, and a cheekimplantif cheekbones are completely lacking, and they are coveered with enough fat (not silicone). It's almost unlimitd to what ou can improve by using facial exoercises this way (especially combined with electrostimulation and chemicalsTechnology that help build up collagen and elastin to strengthen the skin and connective tissue. The result is greater outh/beauty. Even larger lips could be achieved with the right exercises I would imagine, although I already have larger lips than average, so haven't experimented). Can definitely help you reach the highest potential of our beauty though.
- Wrinkles. Virtually unnecessary these days, especially started early enough (preventive measures should start as soon as you're grown out (around eigteen), you will thank yourself later, when you still look 18 at 28. Between acids (which literally polishes down the surface of the skin, but make sure not do overdo it, as it wears down the skincells (acids are not exactly bio-friendlt and shouldn't bne overdone) and can give you a "dead" waxlike look (in a way, today's celebrities and rich people are our guinea pigs to learn from, so cheers, Madonna).
Anything that's good for the skin will help prevent the forming of wrinkles, but once the are there the only solution is reall just some kind of injection, and these days we do have some harmless ones, like our own fat. So skin-based wrinkles are a non-issue, if you can afford to get rid of them, it's the ones based in muscle that is the real problem, as as of now we only really have botox to get rid of them, which needs to be used very sparingly.
- Hairloss (for men) Good results have been shown from experiments that have been performed to nurture the haircells, like smear them in with coconutfat, and other nourishing oils. Even hair cells that have been completel dead have appeard to have woken up anbd started growing hair again. Don't know if this is just bullshit, but seems like a good idea to be started while you still have your hair to prevent it from happenig to begin with (brush your hair vigorously everyday to stimulate the scalp, etc.) But we soon ought to have some successful hormonally based treatments for this now.
Well, I think I will call it a day (phew). See how I conceived of the idea I might be able to write a book, and see it as a realistic option? Even if it's just as an outlet of my boundless mental energy. You're also further welome to ask any more questions of anything related and I'll answear if I can, no matter if you have anything to give me in return, though that would also be nice.
I also hope this thread won't get chucked out like the others as it might actually prove out to offer invaluable information to many, that can be applied in practical life (the best kind).
P.S. Forgot to add "decorative items". Like anything you can do to temporarily enhance your looks, without actually permanently improving it, namely make-up, hair-styling, and clothes.
This is an area that has greatly declined compared to previous decades like the 50s or 60s, with icons like Brigitte Bardot, Marilyn Monroe, and Britt Ekland actually making a real effort with rolling their hair and arranging it in artistic hairstyles that added beauty to their overall look (same with make-up and clothes). How man women actually do that these days? It all seems to be about mindlessly following commercial fashions, like we're led by the money, rather than inspired by genuine beauty.
This must have been a great delight for men living at the time. As opposed to young girls these days, who at the prime of their lif when they should be celebrating and making the most out of their beauty, most won't bother with anymore than slicking back their (barely combed out) hair in a pony tale and slapping on some random make-up just for the sake of it which does nothing to add to the beauty of their face.
If you compare some of the older and modern "beauty icons" you'll see what I mean. It's like women get no joy from making themselves beautiful anymore. Like a kind of "working-class" (in terms of looks) aesthetic has ruled for decades (can't be bothered, can't afford, don't know how). Sad.
While if you compare with the 60s, even poor women would take pride in their appearance and make an effort to make the most of their looks and enhance their beauty. It was just what was done. The nearest we have now is super-models, as it's part of their profession, and to some extent actors/singers and other performers. But that magic/glamour seems to have been lost and I can't help feeling the female sex has lost some of our value and mystery because of it, as it was something that could really spell-bind men, I think.
Though socio-economically, I suppose "the culture of beauty" was only ever meant to be for the upper-classes, while the under-class (while there was only the two) was supposed to look likie trash, age early and poorly for various reasons, and just not be given to means, knowledge, or time/energy to cultivate their appearance to much extent at all. It was the upper-classes which over time developed their appearance to a work of art (more specificialy women) and had the time/servants, know-how, and the means to buy all the clothes and jewels, which were truly works of art by themselves, (which Designer clothing now are the equivalent of, but not quite the same).
I think I just long for this culture of beauty to be more widespread, even if it wouldn't take enormous amounts of time and resources and be more like the icons of the 50s//60S, it would still be a joy to the eye and all of us who love visual beauty, and human beauty. I just happen to love both (humans AND beauty) so the combination of both in one doesn't come much better for me. And the human body really CAN be a work of art, I would even say the greatest there is, and when the natural beauty of the human form is enhanced by human artistry something magical happens that no pain on canvas can compete with.
Even though there are those who want to deny the existence of such a thing as objective human beauty and seem to feel attacked by the notion, which is perplexing to me. But I guess it's a form of self-protection mechanism, or because they can't admit to others being superior to them in some area as their egos are to great (or small) to handle it. While if it came to something THEY excelled at, like say intelligence or athelticism, they would be the first to admit that people aren't equal on all levels and even fight aggressively for it (just to get that self-esteem boost).
Oh, the sad predictability of human nature. I just wish we would all learn to love ourselves more and aquire more genuine self-worth. Then no one would have a problem with anyone else excelling over them in any area and just be at peace with the fact that we all have out own strengths. I guess beauty is a bit different, though, as it's so tied in with the ability to be loved and the sense of human worth that there almost seems to be a sense of doomed tied up with the fact of not measuring up (to objective standards) in some way.
And, Yes, it IS also in the eye of the beholder, but only to a certain extent (like preferring red hair to blond, or skinny to curvy, or one kind of beautiful woman to another). Or finding somone more beautiful because of their personal qualities even though their visual appeal would be found objectively less by most. Guess what I'm trying to get across is that I am not trying to bully anyone or make them feel less-than, but inject some realism into it all and come to some sort of (objective) understanding, which is always desirable to me, as a lover of knowledge and despiser og ignorance.
Though I accept to those (most?) who don't take the time to see it more than superficially I'm nothing more than the typical celebrity-worshipping teenage-girl with no more depth or meaning to it. Nothing more than my ego can take, just find it sad we can't get a constructive discussion on a meaningful topic any further than this type of juvenile, bullying nonsense. Oh well, your loss, not mine (and that was also a joke, no need to come down on me for displaying such obscene arrogance).

If you compare some of the older and modern "beauty icons" you'll see what I mean. It's like women get no joy from making themselves beautiful anymore. Like a kind of "working-class" (in terms of looks) aesthetic has ruled for decades (can't be bothered, can't afford, don't know how). Sad.
While if you compare with the 60s, even poor women would take pride in their appearance and make an effort to make the most of their looks and enhance their beauty. It was just what was done. The nearest we have now is super-models, as it's part of their profession, and to some extent actors/singers and other performers. But that magic/glamour seems to have been lost and I can't help feeling the female sex has lost some of our value and mystery because of it, as it was something that could really spell-bind men, I think.
Though socio-economically, I suppose "the culture of beauty" was only ever meant to be for the upper-classes, while the under-class (while there was only the two) was supposed to look likie trash, age early and poorly for various reasons, and just not be given to means, knowledge, or time/energy to cultivate their appearance to much extent at all. It was the upper-classes which over time developed their appearance to a work of art (more specificialy women) and had the time/servants, know-how, and the means to buy all the clothes and jewels, which were truly works of art by themselves, (which Designer clothing now are the equivalent of, but not quite the same).
I think I just long for this culture of beauty to be more widespread, even if it wouldn't take enormous amounts of time and resources and be more like the icons of the 50s//60S, it would still be a joy to the eye and all of us who love visual beauty, and human beauty. I just happen to love both (humans AND beauty) so the combination of both in one doesn't come much better for me. And the human body really CAN be a work of art, I would even say the greatest there is, and when the natural beauty of the human form is enhanced by human artistry something magical happens that no pain on canvas can compete with.
Even though there are those who want to deny the existence of such a thing as objective human beauty and seem to feel attacked by the notion, which is perplexing to me. But I guess it's a form of self-protection mechanism, or because they can't admit to others being superior to them in some area as their egos are to great (or small) to handle it. While if it came to something THEY excelled at, like say intelligence or athelticism, they would be the first to admit that people aren't equal on all levels and even fight aggressively for it (just to get that self-esteem boost).
Oh, the sad predictability of human nature. I just wish we would all learn to love ourselves more and aquire more genuine self-worth. Then no one would have a problem with anyone else excelling over them in any area and just be at peace with the fact that we all have out own strengths. I guess beauty is a bit different, though, as it's so tied in with the ability to be loved and the sense of human worth that there almost seems to be a sense of doomed tied up with the fact of not measuring up (to objective standards) in some way.
And, Yes, it IS also in the eye of the beholder, but only to a certain extent (like preferring red hair to blond, or skinny to curvy, or one kind of beautiful woman to another). Or finding somone more beautiful because of their personal qualities even though their visual appeal would be found objectively less by most. Guess what I'm trying to get across is that I am not trying to bully anyone or make them feel less-than, but inject some realism into it all and come to some sort of (objective) understanding, which is always desirable to me, as a lover of knowledge and despiser og ignorance.
Though I accept to those (most?) who don't take the time to see it more than superficially I'm nothing more than the typical celebrity-worshipping teenage-girl with no more depth or meaning to it. Nothing more than my ego can take, just find it sad we can't get a constructive discussion on a meaningful topic any further than this type of juvenile, bullying nonsense. Oh well, your loss, not mine (and that was also a joke, no need to come down on me for displaying such obscene arrogance).
