Beauty devices how they work

Counting steps, calories and kilograms

“The rope counts the number of jumps and the number of calories burned. The counter is located in the rope handles. I have a girlfriend who cares about how many calories she used up. For example, in a day she had 1500 kilocalories, and she needs to drive 300. She jumps, and the rope is counting how many calories were spent. “

“I don’t have a separate“ pedometer ”device (but I would really like to). There is an alternative to it – an application in a smartphone. When starting the program, he asks for body parameters (height, weight, age). Apparently, based on this data, he calculates the stride width and ultimately determines how much distance I walk in a day, and counts the calories lost during this. Interesting and useful, especially if you are watching your weight. But it should be borne in mind that such a pedometer has a small error in the calculations – for example, when shaking in transport, it also has a certain number of steps. “

“I personally need it to track my heart rate during training, to maintain weight. Fat in the human body is burned when the heart rate is 20% higher than the resting heart rate. In this sense, the device is simply irreplaceable – it measures accurately. I have a simple model, and some still count calories. And if there are relatives with diseases of the cardiovascular system, this piece will be useful for them to monitor the increase in the load on the heart. “

“The thing is very convenient. In non-stop mode, it collects information about any types of activity of its owner – the number of steps taken, time in motion, speed – and allows you to display it using a special program on the smartphone monitor. Keeps track of the calories burned. It processes the data and “prompts” which type of activity you need to pay more attention to. It can work as a clock with an alarm clock, monitor the amount and quality of sleep. In general, he constantly shows “concern” for the health of its owner. “

“These scales have a function of inputting initial data about a person: height, gender, age. Further, in the process of weighing, the scales give out complete information about the state of the body. You can find out how much fat, muscle and water you have. This is useful because sometimes in the process of losing weight, instead of unnecessary fat, very much needed muscle mass or water is lost. It turns out that the scales show a positive trend, and the mirror says the opposite. And then – weighed in and realized that it was time to run to the gym! “

“The device is relatively expensive, I personally do not have it at home yet. I want – before my eyes an example of a friend. She went regularly throughout the year – so it is necessary – to the salon for photoepilation: it is not painful, does not leave irritation and pigmentation, and the result remains for a long time. An additional bonus is that hair growth where it is not needed is gradually reduced. Well, if you have this gadget at home, the cost of hair removal is dramatically reduced. “

“If you are unlucky with the lighting of the room where you are going to get rid of unwanted hairs, this gadget is what you need! Spotlights exactly the spot you are working on. Convenient, especially if you take with you on a trip – the lighting in hotels is not always the same as we would like, especially in the bathroom. “

“Great thing! The backlight helps you to accurately select an unnecessary hair and remove it without grabbing a couple of neighboring ones along the way. It is very convenient to use: there are special ribbed notches to prevent fingers from slipping. It is stored in a case that looks like a tube of lipstick, and also has a built-in mirror on the case. So now I don’t have to tweak my eyebrows only at the trellis at home. “

“Having tried most of the methods of depilation (except for radical ones like laser), I concluded that sugaring is best, but at home it is problematic to carry out this procedure for yourself. The shugaring master gave me this device as an alternative. An excellent device – you insert a cassette with wax into it (by the way, it can be flavored or hypoallergenic), it melts there to a liquid state, and then you apply it to the skin area, apply a strip for epilation, one movement – and there will be no unwanted hair for the next one and a half or two weeks. One such cassette was enough for me personally for six months. True, the device has one small drawback – it heats up for 30 minutes, that is, it is not suitable for emergency epilation. But otherwise – a great thing! Compared to ready-made strips from a store, the device is much cheaper, more efficient, and simply irreplaceable for travel. “

“I have been using it with pleasure for several years already – once they gave it to me for my birthday. Perfectly removes cuticles – I do the manicure myself, you can do peeling of the feet. Powered by electricity, can be battery operated. I don’t like doing a manicure in the salon, it’s uncomfortable. And I’m sure of myself. In addition, due to the fact that I have the device at home, I can often change varnishes ”.

“A friend presented the file for her birthday. A wonderful thing. Powered by batteries – a spinning roller made of some kind of abrasive material on the handle. You drive this roller along the foot and you see how the skin peels off. It seems to me that the effect is better when the foot is dry. Then grease with cream or even make a mask with foot cream – and the legs are as good as new. “

“Every morning I straighten my bangs. My hair is curly, but I want my bangs to be straight. The gadget is very compact, it can work both from the mains and from the battery. It is not dangerous for hair, does not dry it out. As a result, the hair becomes manageable and shines beautifully. The tongs are wide, it is good to grip the strand. They have a special ceramic coating, so it is impossible to get burned. “

“I need to do curls quickly so as not to waste the whole morning on them. I don’t really want to sleep on curlers either. Such tongs save: they need to be brought to a strand of hair, they wind it themselves, curl it, and the result is an excellent curl. In order to work my whole head, I need literally 15 minutes. The only thing that is important to remember is that the hair must be combed very well, otherwise it can get tangled in the tongs and eventually stay there. “

We monitor the tone and purity of the skin

“I use it at home. It looks like a tube that is plugged into a network. I run it over the face in circular wave-like movements – a faint tingling sensation is felt, there is a feeling that the blood is diverging, as if you had been given a very good massage. By the way, it can be used for hair roots if the hair starts to fall out. My friend did this, strengthened her hair – a good effect, she was happy. “

“The device works on batteries, it is convenient to hold in hand. I use a brush to cleanse my face, it seems to me that the pores are getting smaller. In any case, these notorious “black spots” can be overcome. The kit also includes a sponge that can be used to apply cream, and there is also a massage attachment. “

“I tried these in the salon, and I liked them so much that I want to have such at home. I put them on, and immediately felt as if soft pimples were touching my eyes and massaging them, and in a wave-like manner, it was very pleasant. The first time I sat in them for 5-7 minutes. Immediately I felt the effect – rested eyes. But if you use them as a course, they also reduce wrinkles. “

“Humidification is indispensable, especially in winter, when the air in the apartment is dry. The skin dries immediately, so it is good for both the body and the face. And even for breathing. As soon as a cough arises, tracheitis worsens, we immediately turn on the humidifier at night – it becomes easier to breathe. “

“An electric toothbrush is a great thing! An ordinary brush cannot clean as thoroughly as this device. In addition, it saves energy, especially in the morning – you are still half asleep, and the brush is already humming and doing the work for you. “

“It’s actually an electric version of dental floss. Used as an adjunct to daily brushing. It is the dentists who recommend it. It’s corny, but it’s true. It is something like a mini-“Karcher”, but only for the teeth – a jet of water under pressure removes food particles between the teeth, eliminates plaque on the teeth, tongue, gums. I use it alone, but it has several attachments, so the whole family can use it if necessary. “

We direct beauty and fix ourselves in the moment

“This device helps if ugly pellets start to appear on your favorite woolen sweater. The device works on the same principle as an electric shaver: sharp blades shave off wool lumps from the surface of the garment. Of course, you have to work hard. One thing can take at least half an hour. “

“My husband gave me a birthday present. A very convenient, and most importantly, quite portable thing – when folded it fits into a purse. Perfect for taking selfies – you don’t have to ask for help from passers-by to capture yourself and your friends in front of something interesting. My monopod is specifically for the iPhone, it connects to the headphone jack and does not require additional charging. There are monopods that work through bluetooth, and therefore you have to make sure that it is charged. “
