No matter how you feel about the beauty industry, we are all like that one way or another we use its achievements. However, new technology is not always something radical. About alternative methods that help to save beauty and health, the Zhytomyr.Travel team told specialist in cranial aesthetics Natalia Boyko,for whom work has become the embodiment of a child’s dream
«Beauty is a relative concept. Problems with internal organs become visible on the face, on the body. Long ago beauty is first and foremost health. If it seems that there is no health, so it’s time to care about yourself»
«Being young is a kind of female «want». But it’s not just a face without wrinkles, not external appearance. This is the inner state above which it is necessary to work. When everything is fine inside, outside a woman will shine»
«People don’t get used to something new so quickly. Once I began to practice yoga in small groups,ten years ago, everyone said, «Come on, what yoga?» And now we have wonderful big studios …This way we have with novelties in the field of beauty. It all takes time,until people learn and see the results»
«Many young women and girls are starting out cut, prick, change, tighten themselves because they do not accept themselves, their appearance. It is psychology, what is inside. Indeed, we all strive for beauty:those with straight hair want to curl,curly – straighten, short – grow, long – to cut. We are constantly in search. We often think what if we do with our appearance some manipulation, then in life everything will be fine. And it seems that beauty injections are fashionable, cool, status. A kind of demonstration of wealth, because everyone knows that it’s not cheap. But after a few years,other questions arise: if the source of the problem is not destroyed, everything comes back again»
«Methods of craniosacral therapy, non-injection rejuvenation is the technology of the future. Because here the priority is health. You can not do makeup, and at the same time look well-groomed. Now it is new trend, people are beginning to understand that before making injections, you could work with back, with internal problems, injuries. I really like this alternative, although I do not mind injections where you really can’t do without them»
«I became interested in these techniques for myself. When girls in their twenties make «injections of beauty», become similar to each other – the so-called «Poker face». After some time, problems arise,unpredictable reactions. We don’t want admit to ourselves that the drug that was used two years ago, could influence and give unexpected reaction. The famous Botox-medicine that has started to be used by ophthalmologists. Then it started been used in the beauty industry, however, began story of toxins. Everything must be treated considered: to make analyzes, to be examined. Of course,that not everyone does, and then problems can occur. And only then we begin to work by ourselves. And this, unlike injection, is a long process, or rather permanent. And methods in osteopathic medicine and cranial aesthetics here simply irreplaceable»
«I used to do completely different things,however, I was so fascinated by the opportunity to help people get the harmony that I decided to study. I’ve been doing this for a long time, and now I own methods of craniosacral therapy, cranial aesthetics, neuromodeling massage, kinesiotaping»
«In Ukraine now there are good specialists who provide a decent level of knowledge, learn new techniques. You could say that I a training process does not stop – I do it all the time. However, if you want to keep the bar, get better,you will always learn. It is necessary in any sphere, constantly learn new things. You can’t know now one thing and sit with this knowledge for ten years: every day something changes, modernizes, and it is necessary to keep your hand on the pulse»
«Different women come to me. Both young people and adults. Young people are working «ahead of time» – they already take care of the appearance of self-care. Older women perceive this care differently: many are not used to worrying about themselves at all. They know how to work, but not to give themselves a rest. Sometimes they just don’t believe in methods of rejuvenation. Yes, of course, in 50 years people can’t look like in 20. The result is harder to achieve, because you have to look after yourself from a young age. However, such procedures are first and foremost for good well-being, energy charge, inner harmony. Injections do not give this. And business ladies, and housewives and mothers with many children alike strive to be healthy, want to look good. They immerse me for an hour and a half, create a feeling of harmony inside and in the complex with the methods of cranial aesthetics it gives good results»
«People are slowly getting used to the new, but if it is something progressive and convenient, process accelerates. Such as, for example, kinesiotapes, which called «miracle tapes». They came from sports for back support, support musculoskeletal system. It’s a ribbon that stretches our skin … They are also used in beauty sphere to tighten skin and muscles. So the tape can be glued on the body or face and worn several days. When back pain from sitting job, tape – a good alternative to massage. Because kinesiotapes support the back, unload muscles, they are used for removal of feeling of discomfort. We are used to using various ointments for warming and improving blood circulation, but not always we can do it: dirty clothes, sometimes a specific smell. And tape – thin and elastic, comfortable. It can be also as a rehabilitation procedure for recovery after injuries»
«Some doctors already use kinesiotapes, especially for patients after injuries. As a rule, it is done by the rehabilitation specialists. Kinesio tapes – very much practical thing. Injections and massages are not a panacea, and yes massage techniques are also not for everyone – some people have contraindications. Personally, I tried application on the spine. Because I work sedentary, the spine is loaded. I used to love shooting tension in the usual way – a little hang on horizontal bar. However, sometimes it is not so easy to do: and you will not always find a horizontal bar, and it is not always possible to hang. And tapes are salvation, although it is not «magical pill», which instantly solves all problems. Though you still need to work with yourself. We get used to comfort very fast, so we can assume that tapes are a part of the general therapy, an opportunity to keep fit. When people regularly and constantly monitor their health, use different methods, different possibilities, and the result will be optimal»
«I do not want new techniques to become mainstream. I just want people to be able to try a new, different, alternative. The only thing I consider obligatory – work on yourself and need to take care of yourself. There must be a balance between marketing and common sense. I get it a great pleasure from my work, process and from the results.I am very happy when a person comes and says: «I looked at my own face in the morning and saw that it had changed. No wrinkles and swelling.» I like such words, they are very much stimulating, I say to myself, «Yes! I’m good, I did it!» This is a huge incentive for my professional development»
«The women I work with thank a lot, wish health to my hands. It’s mutual process: I am happy when I work. But the most valuable for me, when they say: «Where have you been before!». The results are inspiring to work. Of course, there are a lot of services now, techniques are different, but people are always choosing what is best for them. You just always have to be aware of and weigh the consequences of the impact of any procedures, not just chasing fashion»
«I would very much like to create a special territory of health and comfort for women. In addition to beauty services, would definitely involve psychologists in the work. Children’s complexes, parental beliefs, limitations, emotional problems, devaluation – all this you will not cover with any expensive clothes or qualitative makeup. As if everything is good on the outside, but inside… Now surgical centers are opening in Kyiv, where a woman can be «redesigned» – to make a new nose,suspenders. However, they do not become happier then. I don’t want this»
