When packing, be sure to place plastic storage bags around any lotions, creams or serums. That way, if something opens or breaks during your travels, your clothes won't be ruined by the spill. If you're packing fragile bottles that are breakable, use some cushioning material, such as bubble wrap, to keep things from shattering.
DON'T exfoliate 24 to 48 hours prior to waxing to avoid irritation! DON'T coat your body with lotions, potions, creams, or any of the sort the day of your wax!
Unless you're a heavy sweater, have used a heavy occlusive the night before or have a very oily skin, you don't need to use a cleanser in the morning. A water rinse will do to clean your face, this will improve your skin's sensitivity and dry patches.
Avoid heavy products, like oils and sticky occlusive like Vaseline under the eye, that attract sweat and grime. These might lead to small under-the-surface white bumps called "milia". Instead, an eye cream formulated with retinol can exfoliate the area and keep it moisturized.
If you feel tiny bumps under the skin on your forehead that always feel itchy-scratchy, then no amount of acne-fighting products will work because it's possible that it's not an acne, but a fungal infection (or fungal acne).
It is an odd tip, but dermatologists explain that antiperspirants work better when your body temperature is lower, and you're not actively sweating so much. Even if you wash it off in the morning, it's likely to work better for you than had you applied it in the morning.
There is nothing we hate more than an oily scalp. Sometimes it's a day or 2 later, but for some, it can be right after you wash your hair too. In this case, it's not exactly oil but rather build-up that's accumulated on your scalp. Dermatologists recommend a clarifying shampoo once a week that can cut through the product and sweat build-up that a regular shampoo might not tackle.
Skin cancer can appear anywhere on your body. Commonly on your back, legs, arms and face, the areas usually exposed to the sun. So forget trying to look like you're 20 forever, use body sunscreen on your body for your health.
The skin on our neck ages faster than the skin on our face. Ageing aside, structurally, it's thinner and gets a lot of wear and tear. Take what you're applying to your face down to your neck too. However, because the skin is thinner, you want to be careful when exfoliating your neck.
The exfoliating face toners you have in your skincare routine can be used in your underarms to tackle body odor. Give it a quick swipe to break up oil and dead skin cells. Use a low percentage chemical exfoliant or a gentler exfoliating ingredient like mandelic or lactic acid, rather than a strong glycolic acid.
There are many causes for dark circles, and the pinch test can help you figure out what's causing yours: very gently pinch the skin under your eyes with 2 fingers. If the darkness disappears, then it's likely that it's being caused by the appearance of blood vessels under thin skin. If the darkness stays, it's more likely to be hyperpigmentation. When you know the cause, you can better treat the problem.
If you suffer from acne, dryness or redness around your mouth and chin, brush your teeth before you do your skincare routine because toothpaste residue can remain and irritate the skin.
Sleeveless tops, like simple shell tops, are comfortable and visually less bulky on the sleeves of the blazer. Choose a neckline that lies flat under the blazer, or rests comfortably above the collar.
A simple hair elastic can solve the problem! Attach the hair elastic around the button. Pull the elastic through the buttonhole, and then loop it around the button again. This will close your pants together while giving you more stretch to work with. Hide the elastic with a belt or under a shirt.
