DIY Facial at Home
Who said doing facials have to cost a ton of money? With all the beauty products easily accessible in the market, you can have a do-it-yourself facial. You will be spending for a few things, but you will definitely not be spending for the labor anymore. No worries about costs, you can have a facial at the comfort of your home. Here’s how:
First of all, you have to rid your face of the make-up and all the dirt that accumulated throughout the day. Use cotton with a cleanser and rub it around your face using a circular motion. After all the unwanted elements are removed, you can now wash your face with a facial scrub. Massage the scrub lightly and carefully on your face, avoiding contact with the eyes. Then, rinse the exfoliating scrub with lukewarm water.
Next, apply a facial mask on your face and leave it for at least 10 minutes. This will help in moisturizing the skin and leave it tight and firm. You can just watch TV, read a magazine or listen to music while waiting for your mask treatment to be done. Remove the mask with a clean cloth soaked in warm water. To make sure that the mask has been completely removed from your face, apply toner on your face with the use of cotton.
Finally, put a few drops of hydrating oil on your hands and gently massage it onto your face. Use a circular motion while doing so to make sure that your pores will absorb the oil. This will help in moisturizing the skin.
After the whole process, you will feel fresh and rejuvenated. Now, you can have a good night’s sleep and you’re ready for another day!
Take Care of Your Hair
Most people – men and women, are conscious about their hair. We tend to change our hairstyle from time to time for a newer, fresher look. For women, a visit to the parlor to get their hair done is a way to relax after a stressful week of work. Men would have haircuts more regularly than women do. We also use different shampoos and chemicals to make our hair look good. Men use hair wax or gel to shape their hair for a sleek look. Women would use leave on conditioners and moisturizers for shiny and smooth hair. If we keep using chemicals so often, we might already be damaging our hair. So it is not always a good thing to keep using different products in our hair.
Different treatments like perming, coloring, relaxing and straightening can leave our hair damaged. The improper use of chemicals in our hair can cause hair breakage. Combing or brushing the hair too frequently can also cause this problem. To avoid hair breakage, make sure to have hair treatments months at a time – meaning, after 4 to 6 months after your last one. This will give time for the hair to relax.
Dandruff is also a common problem that men and women experience. There are anti-dandruff shampoos and dandruff treatment shampoos out there as well. When shampooing, massage the scalp for a few minutes with your fingers. This will help in removing the flakes that built up in your scalp.
If you think you have serious problems in your scalp and hair, seek advice from your dermatologist to get the right treatment.
