My harimaki obsession

I just have to talk about my experience with my harimaki belly band. I started using this last week, just to test it out, to see how it is and have something to say when my clients ask me about it. Oh my! I think I have developed a dependence! For those who do not know what a harimaki is, its a belly band made of cotton that you wear around your waist to keep the core of your body nice and warm and toasty. Pregnant mommies can also wear this band to cover up their unbuttoned pants!
So, yesterday, I went to a baptism and I decided to wear a dress (bad choice, it was raining!) and so I had to remove my harimaki because it looked weird underneath the dress; by the time I got home I couldn't take it anymore, my body was cold! The humid weather didn't help of course but I have to say, the moment I put it back on, I felt such a comfort, I don't know how to describe it, except to compare it to some kind of addiction, but the good kind! I cannot live without it now. It feels so good to have the core of your body, where most your organs are located (kidneys, uterus, intestines), kept toasty and warm. And the coolest of all, is when I wear my low rising skinny jeans and bend down, by butt area is covered!

Everything you need to know about the skin

The skin is the largest human organ and fulfils many important functions. It protects the body against mechanical, chemical and thermal influences and damage, and also against many germs. It acts as a temperature regulator. It is important for maintaining water metabolism. It is a sensory organ for love, tenderness, pain, pressure and temperature. The skin is also an organ for communication (blushing, paling, stroking hair, etc.) and it is aesthetically very important for the external appearance of a person. It is therefore worthwhile to have a dedicated interest in skin.

The skin is made up of three layers:

Epidermis: protects against external factors
Corium: assures skin-nourishment, immune defense, and sensory perception
Subcutis: contains the fat cells, which store fat and water and are responsible for the skin’s elasticity

How much care does skin need?

Everybody wants a beautiful, soft, and supple skin. Having a healthy, wrinkle-free skin is not only a question of age: harmful environmental factors, UV-rays, unhealthy eating habits, stress, and psychological problems can accelerate the aging of the skin. Both the amount and the kind of care the skin needs largely depend on the skin type. Generally, it can be said that more mature skin requires more attention. From the age of thirty onwards, the first signs of aging skin can be detected. The skin’s fat production decreases, which leads to a loss of moisture. In turn, the skin gets drier and small wrinkles develop. With increasing age, the quality and amount of collagen and elastic fibers decreases: The skin becomes thinner and less elastic, which further adds to the appearance of wrinkles. The biological aging process cannot be stopped, but the right care can slow it down. To achieve this effect the skin should be cared for regularly and with products that are suitable for the respective skin type and its individual requirements.

Four different skin types

Normal skin

Dry skin

is prone to flakes, irritation and allergic reactions
Oily skin

has large pores
sometimes develops spots and blackheads
Combination skin
is dry in the cheek- and hairline-area
is oily in the T-zone area
