Detox with Maria Tkachenko of Pro Beauty
One prominent figure in Bay Area in the area of body detoxing is Maria Tkachenko, known as @beauty.probeauty on social media. Tkachenko, a Ukrainian expert in lymphatic massage, has worked with many notable Bay Area personalities. Over the past year, her client list growing with a growing influence. In an effort to delve into the fascination surrounding lymphatic drainage and Maria's expertise, we sat down with her to explore the secrets behind her success, the significance of lymphatic drainage, and practical steps for maintaining a youthful physique.
Where does your story begin?
Maria: I've always had a deep passion for massage therapy! Despite my mom's belief that being a massage therapist wasn't a viable profession—I pursued economics at university—I continued to indulge in my love for massage, practicing on friends and family. Eventually, I enrolled in a massage and cosmetology school in Ukraine, honing my skills. Upon moving to the US, I took the leap to become a massage therapist here. To my delight, I found that services like anti-cellulite massages and skin tightening treatments are incredibly popular, and my expertise is in high demand!
What should we know about the work that you do?
Maria: My primary area of expertise lies in lymphatic drainage and anti-cellulite massages. Through extensive learning and practice, I've developed a highly effective technique specifically tailored for reducing cellulite and promoting lymphatic system cleansing.
Why bamboo?
Maria: Drawing from my extensive knowledge of various techniques, I've found that an anti-cellulite hand massage using bamboo sticks yields the most impressive results for skin tightening and cellulite reduction. By thoroughly warming up the tissues to enhance blood circulation in the targeted area, and then employing the bamboo stick method, I've witnessed significant improvements. It's important to clarify that this isn't wood therapy; it's a genuine hand massage, with the bamboo stick serving as a tool to enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
Tell us about lymphatic drainage massage and why you are interested to do it professionaly?
Maria: Lymphatic drainage is essential for women's health, aiding in toxin removal, immune system enhancement, and even shedding excess inches. With its rise in popularity from Brazil to Hollywood, I sought out the expertise of Rebecca Faria, renowned as the massage therapist to the stars in Beverly Hills. After training with her, I can now offer her sought-after technique at my studios, providing everyone with access to the same treatments favored by Hollywood's elite.
What is the best part about your job?
Maria: I'm passionate about my work; it fuels my growth and propels me forward. I firmly believe in the pursuit of perfection without bounds. My clients, who consistently show loyalty and support, are invaluable to me. Together, when we achieve remarkable results, it brings joy to both them and myself.
What do you think made you successful in your career as a massage therapist?
Maria: I believe it's a blend of several factors: my unwavering passion for my craft, my honed skills that guide my approach with each client, and my relentless pursuit of perfection in every aspect of my work.
What does it take to balance work and family? How do you manage it?
Maria: Honestly, I see this as the phase where learning is ongoing. Balancing my three wonderful children, whose time is incredibly precious, with the demands of a growing business can be challenging. Nevertheless, I'm committed to doing my utmost to manage both effectively.
Who is your role model?
Maria: My role models are massage therapists who've not only built successful businesses but have also stayed committed to their craft.
What advice can you give to those who are just starting their business?
Maria: I'd suggest this: If you're passionate about your work, if you truly believe in its benefits for yourself and others, and if you feel energized while doing it, then you're headed in the right direction. Personally, I adore massages—I've experienced their effectiveness and know their benefits, and others can feel it too. That, to me, is already a success.

Gloss hair treatment vs. Glaze hair treatment
.
There are many hair treatments available in salons today. Two of the most popular treatments are gloss hair treatment and glaze hair treatment. So, what is the difference between the two?
Gloss Hair Treatment
A gloss treatment penetrates the hair's cuticle and gives the hair two to four weeks of shine and smoothness. It is usually done with a clear or tinted gloss applied to the hair and then rinsed out. It's different from hair dye and can help with your hair's health. While dye can lead to dryness, gloss treatment adds shine and can be done as a stand-alone, semi-permanent treatment or as part of another hair service, such as coloring or highlights.
Glaze hair treatment
Glaze hair treatment simply coats the shaft with shine and semi-permanent color; it's like adding a top coat of polish to your hair, and it lasts a week or two. A glaze can be applied to any hair color, but it is often done after highlights or single-process color to add extra shine and dimension. It can also be used to enhance or change the tone of your hair color.
Gloss hair treatment:
PROS:
• It gives long-lasting shine and smoothness to the hair • Enhance your hair's natural glow, and correct & revitalize the tone of your hair • A game changer for people with dull or damaged hair and those looking to add subtle color
CONS:
• Professional in-salon treatment may be costly: $50 to $100
Glaze hair treatment:
PROS:
• Adds extra shine and dimension to the hair • It can be used to enhance or change the tone of your hair color
CONS:
• It only lasts for a week or two

Latest Beauty Tips and Tricks
The beauty industry is always changing, and every day is an opportunity to learn a trick or two. If you have been out of the game for a while or are just getting started, here are the latest beauty tips and tricks.
- Please don't touch your face unless it's necessary. Touching your face can ruin makeup and also leave germs behind. *
- Setting spray is a lifesaver. If you struggle with makeup coming off before you get home, you should invest in a setting spray. This will ensure your makeup stays on.
- Condition your hair before going for a swim. Conditioners protect your hair from chlorine.
- Sunscreen is your best defense against ageing skin. Never step out without applying some sunscreen.
- Dry shampoo comes in very handy when you are in a hurry.
- If you want perfume to last longer, tap it on your wrists instead of rubbing it. The latter causes it to wear off faster.
- Avoid using too much concealer. Yes, it may hide dark circles. But it will make you look unnatural and older.
- If you have a combination skin type, use multiple face masks to deal with various issues simultaneously.
- Once you are done applying lipstick, put a clean finger in your mouth and pull it out. This may look weird, but it prevents lipstick stains on teeth.
- Moisturize your entire body. It will make your skin suppler.
- A facial cleanser is a must-have if you want glowing skin.
- Freeze your eyeliner before application. This prevents it from crumbling when you are putting it on.
- Chamomile tea isn't just for relaxing your mind. It can be used to lighten hair.
- Replace sponges with foundation brushes. Sponges waste a lot of makeup.
- If you don't have a makeup remover, you can always use body lotion.
You can't learn all beauty hacks overnight. But these tricks should ensure you look amazing. Remember, it may take some time to determine which tips work best for you. Our product recommendations to you are below.
The Right Way to Wear Red Lipstick
“There is a shade of red for every woman”
Audrey Hepburn's quote can be interpreted in literal context, after all, red lipstick does come in different hues.
Depending on the geography and time period, the Scarlet pout has been a symbol of many things. A declaration of independence, a sign of seduction, social status, confidence, seeker of attention or a show of wealth.
Red lipstick is synonymous with power and strength, highly seen during women's suffrage movement (decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States).
In the 20th century, however, people associated red lips with sexual immorality and sacrilegious traits. Perhaps that's because red lipstick carries sexual undertones that make women’s lips stand out and appear sexier.
There is nothing wrong with women wearing red lipstick today if she wants to boost her sexual allure and stand out among her peers.
If red lipstick is your armor against the rest of the world, feel free to paint your pout red. Lipstick is a known confidence booster. Need that extra nudge when it comes to public speaking, go for a powerful shade of lipstick (we suggest a rich red).
Do
- Know what shade is right for you.
- Remove excess color after applying.
- Do take care of your teeth. Remember your teeth stand out when you wear red lipstick.
- Wear it right to help you boost your confidence
- Match your lips and nails
- Wear it with all black everything!
Don't
- Don't wear bright red when you have smokey eye makeup.
- Don't let it transfer to your teeth please.
- Don't over do it with the rest of the makeup
- Don't wear bright red when your outfit is filled with colors.
- Don't wear bright red with pink blush or pink anything please.
- Maybe don't wear it when you're meeting your potential In-Laws.
- Best not to wear it at funerals.
Few tips to keep in mind:
- Remember red lips is part of an outfit. Style it well.
- Don't always have to use a lip liner. Sometimes just red lipstick is enough.
- Keep Q-tips handy for midday touch-ups.
- Red lips give you confidence boost.
Self-esteem is the best makeup for women
.
It is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Women today are under so much presure to look beautiful that they take no notice of their feelings. They hopelessly try things to make their physical attractive. They turn to plastic surgeries or simple makeup advices on social media to meet that standard.
Let's talk about the makeup for a moment. Yes, makeup gives you confidence. It helps you exude the best possible version of yourself, but applying makeup does not increase your self-worth. Makeup can be washed away. If you are not happy with yourself on the inside, makeup is only temporary. Everyone is in favor of high self-esteem, but cultivating it is hard. If you are able to build up your self-esteem then you are on your way to looking and feelingn good.
There are some things that women can do to instantly improve their self-esteem. The best thing of them all is to SMILE. A smile will make anyone look more attractive and will attract people back. Smiling not only offers a mood boost but helps our bodies release cortisol and endorphins that provide numerous health benefits.
ACCEPTANCE is the best thing a woman can do for herself. You are not perfect but neither is anyone else. You need to accept your strong areas and your areas of improvement. You flaws are what makes you feminine and beautiful.
If a woman projects her inner energy outward people will want to be around her. People want to be around someone who makes them feel good. If a woman feels good about herself she can help others feel good too. A high self-esteem is key to positive mental health and well-being. And when inner you is happy, the outter you is gorgeous. You got it girl!
8 Proven Ways to Prevent Wrinkles
Wrinkles are lines or creases in the skin that appear when the face is distorted by repetitive muscle contractions, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
1. Hydrate Skin
We all know that staying hydrated with water is essential, but what effect does this have on your skin? Water helps skin look plump, soft, and smooth, which are sure signs of healthy skin. When skin is hydrated correctly, it reduces the appearance of wrinkles.
2. Get Your Sleep
Did you know that Winkles are formed when your face is distorted? This occurs during the day when you make expressions and at night while you sleep (when your muscles essentially relax).
3. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that fights against free radicals. Free radicals create wrinkles by destroying collagen and elastin- two proteins in the skin that keep it plump and firm. Vitamin C is found in oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, and bell peppers.
4. Retinol (Vitamin A)
Retinol is a form of Vitamin A. Some studies have shown that topically applying Retinol to the skin reduces fine lines and wrinkles, increase collagen production, and speeds up cell turnover.
5. Exfoliate
Dead skin cells collect on the surface of your skin which means they cannot function correctly until shed off. This makes the skin look dull and lifeless.
6. Sunscreen
There is no way to prevent wrinkles if you stay out in the sun without sunscreen. UV rays cause damage which leads to fine lines and wrinkles, so protect those peepers.
7. Treatment masks
A treatment mask is a sheet or gel that you apply to your skin that contains ingredients that are beneficial for the skin. Most contain antioxidants and exfoliating elements, which help improve the appearance of wrinkles, discoloration, and uneven texture.
8. Drinking Water.
You are made up mostly of water, so it only makes sense that the less hydrated the skin is, the more wrinkled it will appear. Drink eight glasses of water a day to keep your skin looking healthy and young.
Try incorporating some or all of these into your daily routine starting today, and you will be surprised by the results.
Anti Aging Tips
.
Aging can catch up to a person before they know it. The body and the skin need plenty of care and attention. Before jumping into plastic surgery, try these anti-aging tips to help a yourself look and feel good.
Add Vitamin A
One of the ways to reduce cell irritation and reduce the appearance of wrinkles is to use vitamin A. This vitamin will help protect against fine lines and uneven skin tone. Vitamin A is involved in immune function, vision, reproduction, and cellular communication. Good sources of vitamin A (retinol) include:
- cheese
- eggs
- oily fish
- fortified low-fat spreads
- milk and yoghurt
Pass on Sugar
Sugar is bad for the skin and can lead to a sign of aging. Foods that are high in sugar have been shown to increase advanced glycation end products which will lead to wrinkles and decrease collagen production. Stick to a diet high in protein and vegetables.
Sugar damages collagen and elastin. It deactivates natural antioxydant enzymes. How do you know if sugar is damating your skin? Here is how:
- The surface of your skin looks hard and shiny.
- Deep, crosshatch lines appear along your upper lip.
- Discoloration and hyperpigmentation mark your skin.
- Deep crevices appear, especially around the laugh line area.
- The skin around your jowl area is sagging.
Stay Hydrated
Water is important for the full body and it is important for the skin. If a person is not drinking enough water the skin will look dry and dull. This will lead to the development of wrinkles. Staying hydrated will give the skin a healthy glow. A person should not wait until they are thirsty to drink water. They should sip it throughout the day.
These are some tips to help reduce the signs of aging. A person is going to get older but that does not mean their skin needs to show it.

Fear no more as dentists, sisters Golnar and Haleh Abivardi turn the dreadful experience into a pleasurable one. Abivardi sisters are the ideal ambassadors for their brand vVardis whose product is dubbed as "the biggest discovery in dentistry since fluoride."

Our product is really revolutionary. It protects against stains and gives a feeling of a professional teeth cleaning”, sisters shared with Gazette du Bon Ton.

Natural Make up Look and Tips
Glowing skin is always in
by Karina Kurani
Make up was invented to enhance the natural beauty of women - underline our unique features and enhance our appearance.
While it’s fun to play try on different looks, colours and tones, a no make up make up look is always a good choice for an every day outing with friends. Plus it does not require a lot of time to do and it’s light on your face.
@notyourcomfortzone
Take a look at German Blogger Julia Gedimina! She rocks the nude make up look!
@fitmilenka
A little lip color never hurt anybody. Influencer Milena rocks the “ beach girl “ look with a little touch of pink on her lips
@caglar.yildiz
Let’s toss the heavy foundation out the window. Let your beauty shine through!
A light foundation foundation or powder to brighten up the skin and even out the skin tone is all that you will need. We suggest using a liquid foundation , a little bit of concealer under the eyes and you’re good to go.
@fairfashionOOTD
Neutral eyeshadow shade - If you want to achieve a natural make up look avoid dark or bright tones. Apply eyeshadow one or two tones darker than your skin tone, that way it will look seemless and barely noticable.
Don't apply any eyeliner and wear no or little mascara.
Red for Strength, not Attention!
Red lipstick has been used by women for decades as a means of attracting attention. But did you know that Red Lipstick in fact more than anything else is about female strength ? Yes, it wasn't always socially accepted and back then women wearing red lipstick were seen as vulgar and easy. "The first and most famous manifestation of red lipstick was in fact in New York when the suffragettes took to the streets, banded together, and as part of their defiance and fight for the vote, they all wore bright red lipstick," explains Madeleine Marsh, author of "Compacts and Cosmetics," During the war women wore red lipstick as part of the fight against enemy. How about it?
But not everyone liked red lipstick. French fashion designer Coco Chanel found it along with red nail polish vulgar, complaining that house guests left stains on her glassware and table linens. With time however, red lips became a fashionable and stylish tool for 21 century’s Fashionistas. Wearing red lipstick really does make women feel more confident, powerful and gorgeous. Carrying your red lips alongside denim short and a tee makes a playful combination don't you agree?
