vinuxe:

First, let’s start with hair:

-If your hair is thicker or curlier, don’t worry about washing it every day especially if are using heat. I wash mine 2 times a week and it is perfectly fine. 

-Coconut/Olive/Argan oil are great for leave in conditioner when your hair is dry because they leave it shiny and nourish it. Just don’t put too much (about the size of an almond or two is fine)

– Brush your hair in the morning and at night!! If your hair is curly and the curls ruin after brushing, wet your hair and most times they return. 

-Scalp massages are wonderful and you can do them while you shampoo. (another tip that may seem ridiculous is to turn your head downwards for 10-15 seconds- enough for your blood to curculate, BUT don’t do it over that time because it is not good)

-Loose low bun(if you have straightened your hair) or a braid are the best ways to put your hair up when you are going to bed.

Now face:

-In the winter when my face is dry I LOVE using Nivea(the basic blue cream) on my face at night because in the morning my face is soft and glowy( and I don’t like to use a lot of creams during the day)

-Nivea can also be used as a makeup remover but it can be too heavy for some and it takes a lot of massage to come off(that is what people did back in the days) so use OLIVE OIL instead(it doesn’t clog your pores like the coconut oil)

– Rose water is great for the summer if your skin is oily or gets oily because it removes dirt but also gives you a glow. Plus it smells great. I like to use is as a toner/face mist.

-My favorite face masks are anything with honey (honey+cinammon/turmeric/nutmeg or honey with a tiny bit of lemon) and Korean sheet masks. 

-Use aspirin mask(aspirin+water) if you feel like a blemish is coming up or put ice on the place a few times before it feels better.

-For a face exfoliator I love ground coffee or brown sugar with olive oil. I either mix both or use them separately(depending on what I have)

-It is good to have nights when you just wash your face and leave it clean without putting moisturizer because it lets it breathe. (+some people say that moisturizing at night can cause pore clogging and blackheads because of the heat)

Body:

-Sugar+Baby oil+Olive oil+vinegar= best exfoliator ever. But don’t use it down there because yeast infections.

-Baby oil itself is a great for nourishing your skin. 

-Before shaving down there use rubbing alcohol on your razor, exfoliate down there(not with sugar), shave with baby oil(leave it for a bit before that to soften the hair) and then shave with a shaving cream. After shaving use rubbing alcohol and deodrant to prevent ingrown hairs.

-For soft feet- soak your feet in baking soda for 10 minutes, then scrub them with a foot scraper and wash them and after that use vaseline or hand cream(yes, some of them do wonders for your feet) and put on thick socks. 

-Use hand cream!! It is important because people look at your hands and it is also great having soft hands believe me.
