Despite what you see with social media filters, and behind the hair extensions, the truth is nobody has perfect hair or truly flawless skin. Every person probably has some complaint with their skin being too pale, too dark, overly sensitive, oily or dry, and too many zits or imperfections. The same goes with hair; many are frustrated with their natural hair and wish it was curlier or straighter, less frizzy, thicker or shinier.
We all have our issues — but here’s the deal: it’s important to love the hair and skin you have. Embrace your face and love the locks you were born with. Here are some great skin and hair tips to help you live your most beautiful life and love what you see in the mirror every day.
*Love the Skin You’re In*
1.Treat your skin well.
It’s important to use sunscreen, wash your face every night before bed and moisturize with skin care products suited for your skin type. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water and eat a healthy well-balanced, diet with foods rich in vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids, which your skin loves.
2.Choose the right products for your skin type.
Skincare is about taking care of your specific kind of skin. Identify your skin type and whatever problem areas you might have, and then use products geared toward improving your skin.
3. Go natural.
When applying makeup, don’t cover up your skin — enhance it. Aim for a natural look and apply makeup with a light hand. You can conceal blemishes or other small imperfections, but any freckles you may have should still be visible.
4. Stop tanning.
Excessive tanning can cause premature aging, wrinkles and skin cancer. Protect your skin with sunscreen every day, and use bronzer or a self-tanner instead.
5. Get plenty of sleep.
You need sleep to rejuvenate your skin. Not enough sleep causes blemishes and dark, puffy eyes.
*Hair Care Love*
Call us biased, but we think it’s easy to love your hair. A great cut and/or color always helps you look and feel more beautiful. But we understand you can’t make a salon appointment every week, so remember these things at home:
6. Reduce the heat.
Turn the temperature down on your styling tools, and make sure to use a heat protectant before you style your hair.
7. Amp up the volume.
Wavy or curly style will always give the appearance of having more volume.
8. Try a weekly hair mask.
Nourish your locks and keep your hair super hydrated to prevent unwanted frizz.
9. Use the right products.
Avoid using shampoo or other products with sulfate or alcohol, which can dry out your hair.
10. Avoid over washing.
Most people shouldn’t wash their hair every day, and the longer you can go without washing, the better. Dry shampoo will help your hair look great between washings.
