High Maintenance 101

Prissy Girl Beauty Regimens 🎀

my prissy girl guide to beauty services and building a beauty lifestyle that fits you 💗

Skincare:

Essential Skincare Routine ❤︎︎

twice daily, in the morning and at night

daytime: gentle cleanser, toner, serum, eye cream, moisturizer, SPF

prep and protect skin

nighttime: double cleansing with oil and cleanser, exfoliation, treatments, moisturizer

wash away the day and help skin accept treatments and actives during your beauty sleep

products will change depending on skin type and goals, but sequence will more or less stay the same

Face Masks + Treatments ❤︎︎

Face Masks -

typically done at home 1-3x/week

clay, gel, mud, cream, liquid

my fav masks at home:

aha + bha liquid mask by the ordinary: a literal overhaul of my pores. it’s refining and helps reduce texture and hyperpigmentation. 1-2 x/week

korean modeling mask: i use this after doing everything in my routine. it’s super cooling and smooths my skin out. the low temp of the mask reduces flushing of my skin and helps the steps in my routine absorb better. 2-3 x/week

Treatments -

done either 1-3x/week and/or exclusively at night

consumer grade Retinols, AHAs, BHAs at high strength

little extra things i like to use to enhance my routine:

gua sha, ice pack, rose quartz roller, however often i choose

Facials ❤︎︎

done every 1-2 months by licensed estheticians

often includes exfoliation and extraction

Classic Facial: cleanse, extract, massage, moisturize

HydraFacials: extracts pores while infusing serums to boost skin’s vitamin and nutrient content

dry, dehydrated skin

Microdermabrasion: microabrasive tool removes outermost, textured, damaged layer of skin using suction to reveal a smooth and refined new layer of skin

sun damaged, aged, textured skin or skin with hyperpigmentation

Chemical Peel: application of medical grade AHA, BHA, Lactic Acid, Fruit Enzymes, or Retinol to peel away top layers of skin over the course of 1-2 weeks

pore refining, brightening, and anti-aging

after care is crucial. skin will be peeling and sensitivity to sun is increased. SPF MUST be used. it’s heavily advised that clients stay home for the first few days.

HydroJelly Facial: facial made of electrolytes, algae, organic white grain oat flour, rice flour, and white willow bark powder. leaving your skin hydrated, plump, and nourished. forms a vacuum-like seal that compresses facial contours.

there are 25 different hydrojelly pro masks for most skin concerns you may have, check here

More Facials ❤︎︎

Contouring Facial: sculpting, tightening, and lifting of facial muscles

Hair:

Hair Care ❤︎︎

Wash Routines:

curly textured: wash and condition every 2-3 weeks, deep condition every 1-2 weeks

straight: wash and condition every 2-3 days, deep condition every 2-3 weeks

Styling ︎❤︎︎

Hair should have a style everyday! At home hairstyling is limitless and really depends on your taste and lifestyle. The everyday woman does her own her once every 1-4 weeks using natural hair products, heat, or other tools.

Professional Stylists:

hair is styled every 1-3 months: uses heat to straighten or curl, extensions to lengthen and add volume, shears to maintain/attain a shape and length

trim ends: every 6-8 weeks

hair color: touched up roughly every 6-8 weeks (depending on how fast your hair is growing and how fast your color will fade)

Silk Press:

after a clarifying wash and deep conditioning, natural hair is straightened using flat iron and/or pressing comb, then usually curled in feathers or pin curls to preserve the style

lasts 3-4 weeks depending on maintenance

preserved by wrapping hair at night, keep hands out of hair, and using a wide toothed comb only

can be further styled with different kind of rollers, or with pin curls

Braids:

afrocentric hairstyles typically done to protect hair while maintaining beauty

lasts 3-8 weeks

styles include knotless braids, faux locs, stitch braids, french braids, etc

Extensions:

hair added to natural hair to enhance length or volume

can be done at home with patience and proper materials

sew-in extensions: (my personal fav) 1-2 months

your natural hair gets braided down flush to your scalp and the bundles are sewn on by the wefts in a flat pattern typically with a section of hair left out to cover the wefts $100-600

microlinks: up to 4 months

i-tip extension is added to hair using micropliers, clippers and loop tool. takes far longer than most extension methods but looks the absolute most natural $500-1000

tape-in extensions: up to a year, touch ups every 4-6 weeks

medical grade tape is used to attach extensions to small sections of hair $200-400

clip-in extensions: 3-6 months

extensions are clipped on by the wefts. the hair itself can last up to six months, but it’s not recommended to sleep, shower, or swim with the extensions in $50-100

Natural Styles:

all last roughly 1-2 weeks at most. allowing hair to completely DRY is crucial for these styles. your natural hair can be further changed in styles like buns, puffs, etc once dry

natural hair essentials: scalp oil, leave in conditioner, detangling brush, wide tooth comb, curling cream, styling gel, edge control and edge brush

wash n’ go

wash and detangle, then use leave in conditioner to keep hair moist. oil on the scalp and ends is recommended for growth and healthy ends

bantu knots

a traditionally african style where the hair is cleanly sectioned (usually parted in a cute pattern) and twisted into knots. style can be worn just like this or taken down for curls

braid/twist out

a specific pattern of curls is achieved after hair is twisted or braided with curl preserving products. end result depends on how big your twists or braids are

roller set

hair is sprayed with water and curl cream applied before roller of your choice is added. hair is left to dry usually overnight for springy well formed curls

Brows and Lashes:

Brow Shaping ❤︎︎

in salon or at home

Waxing - every 3 weeks

Threading- every 2-3 weeks

Razor Shaping - weekly

Brow Enhancement ❤︎︎

Tinting - monthly

can be done at home or by pro in the salon

Microblading - every 1-3 years + annual touch ups, exclusively professional work

cosmetic tattooing using a manual tool with nearly invisible hair-like needles to inject pigment in brows to create your desired brow look

Lash Enhancements ❤︎︎

*done exclusively by professionals

Lifts - every 6 weeks

basically a perm for your lashes to curl them semi-permanently for lashes to appear longer

Lash Extensions - new set every 6-8 weeks, fill ins every 2-3 weeks depending on quality and style

false individual strands of lashes glued to natural lashes to create semi-permanent length and/or volume

lash baths: wet lashes and apply a small amount of gentle cleanser or a “lash bath” to lashes. cleanse lashes and eyelids for about 10 seconds. hold a towel under your eye and use a nozzle bottle to flush soap and bacteria from lashes then dry with a disposable lint free towel. finish by brushing your lashes with a spoolie. daily.

Lash Styles:

Classic: one lash on each fan, thin lashes

Volume: fluffier lashes with more lashes on each fan

Hybrid: uses classic and volume lashes to make an alternated look

Russian: volume lashes made with very thin individuals, 5-6 extensions per natural lash, fanned out look

DIY Lash Extensions - lasts about a week (sometimes longer)

lash fragments or individual wisps are glued either under the lashes or on the lash line. KISS Falscara is a product that makes this concept simple and easy

Nails:

all these services can be done at home with the proper materials and KNOWLEDGE

Classic Manicure ❤︎︎

every 1-2 weeks

nail service that consists of soaking hands in warm soapy water then drying them. nails are trimmed, filed, and buffed. cuticles are pushed back before applying nail polish (base coat, color, top coat), then finally cuticle oil is applied.

nails can be enhanced with rhinestones, glitter, or charms and attached with uv gel or nail glue

my fav styles are pink, cream, white, black and any french tip using those colors

Pedicure ❤︎︎

every 2-4 weeks

sister to the classic manicure, but can be upgraded depending on materials. steps are similar to manicure, except feet are scrubbed and exfoliated before feet are washed and dried to apply nail color

regular polish, acrylic, or gel can be used on toenails

Gel or Shellac Mani ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

same process as the classic manicure, but traditional nail polish is replaced with uv base coat, gel or CND Shellac polish, then uv top coat that’s cured in a UV or LED lamp

longer lasting and more strong/3d than classic mani and is typically removed by soaking in acetone

Apres Gel-X Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks

my personal fav at home nails using the artme yoko matsuda nails. after doing a classic mani sans polish, you apply a dehydrator and primer to prep nail for gel. then you apply builder gel to your natural nail and cure. then you apply that same builder to the nail extension after etching it using an electric drill or acetone. marry the gel to your nail and cure. then just shape to your liking and top with uv top coat. tutorial here

Acrylic Nails ❤︎︎

every 2-3 weeks, nails are fully grown out after 6 weeks

manicure done with liquid monomer and acrylic powder to build and extend natural nail, then polished with color or just a top coat if desired

Russian Mani ❤︎︎

every 4-5 weeks

essentially a gel manicure, but more invasive. the eponychium is snipped away so polish can be applied more closely and flush to the cuticle. this aids in visuals and longevity

service is seen as risky because the skin is more susceptible to fungal or bacterial infection. this is actually how i do my nails at home.

Body:

Bathing ❤︎︎

2x daily

self explanatory, we all know how to bathe. i have other posts that talk about my shower and bath routines.

use a gentle cleanser then a scented body wash to complement perfume and smell fresh all day.

if needed, you can use body soaps with actives like aha, bha or retinol to exfoliate or treat skin at night

exfoliation - 2-3x/week. using scrubs, loofahs, bath brushes, etc.

Hair Removal ❤︎︎

shaving - 2-3x/week

waxing - every 3-5 weeks

sugaring - monthly

ipl device - a device that uses light therapy to slowly destroy hair follicles and unwanted pigment in skin. i use mine after every 5-6 shaves but i could really use it more often.

Vajacial ❤︎︎

1-2x/month

a “facial” for your lady area

the esthetician will first wax, then cleanse and apply an enzyme exfoliant. then they extract any blackheads or ingrown hairs from the area before applying a soothing mask usually in the jelly form.

Moisture and Hydration ❤︎︎

body cream or lotion - daily right after bathing to hydrate skin

body oil - daily to seal in moisture and protect skin from debris and dryness

masks - weekly to address particular skin concerns

ex. when i was having eczema flare ups on my back, i used a dead sea mud mask every 1-2 weeks to help treat it

done at home or at spa

glycolic, clay, mud, salicylic, etc.

Enhancement Procedures:

the goal is to look younger and balance facial features. all these services are exclusively done by professionals usually in a medspa and are widely considered luxury.

Botox ❤︎︎

every 6-8 months; between brows, smile lines, outer corners of eyes, etc

discourages muscle movement to reduce wrinkles

Lifts ❤︎︎

lasts about 10 years; face, neck, brow, eyelids

skin is lifted to desired look, then excess skin is removed

Fillers ︎❤︎︎

every 6-12 months; under-eye, lips, jawline, wrinkle sites, cheekbones

injects acids (usually naturally occurring) like Hyaluronic Acid and Calcium Hydroxylapatite to add volume to your face

Body Contouring ❤︎︎

every 2-4 months until desired results are achieved

non invasive liposuction to achieve desired physique

CoolSculpting - cryolipolysis freezes fat cells for the body to the metabolize and and remove them

SculpSure - essentially the same as CoolSculpting, but uses heat and laser technology to destroy fat cells

Laser Hair Removal ❤︎︎

every 5-6 weeks; bikini, underarms, legs, arms

touch ups done every 1-2 years

hair growth is inhibited by exposing follicles to light at frequencies that kill them

Building the Regimen 🗒️💕:

when making appointments with your “glam squad” you can stagger your services by week depending on what’s being done. for example you can get your mani and pedi done one week. then your facials, brows and lashes another week.

Things to Keep in Mind 💭💞:

these frequencies won’t be the same for everyone depending on personal wants, budgets, etc. but will most likely land somewhere in the ranges i gave. if you need touch ups or redos any sooner than i mapped out, then the service most likely was of poor quality.

anything done at home may or may not be up to the level of detail and longevity as salon or spa work. if you see yourself doing the majority of your beauty maintenance at home, this can save money but may end up taking more time than professional services. so it’s a give and take.

Random, but if you feel comfortable could you share your skincare and haircare routine?💗 ps, what’s your favorite candle scent?

you’re so cute, this is such a cute question 🥹 I don’t have one set candle scent I love, but I am a big fan of calming smells like lavendar, pear, vanilla, apple & cinnamon. I love any candles by north muse or honeymoon apothecary I truly have never had them go wrong with a candle smell.

for my skin care, I tend to get dry skin, so in the morning I just wash my face once with a moisturising cleanser. I use a caffeinated eye cream but truly I have no set one, I’ve never found any one better than the other so it’s whatever I can get my hands on when I need more. I then use balance me radiance facial oil, just a couple of drops patted into my skin. and a dash of niacinamide. I give it a minute or two for those to soak in, making my bed and doing a lip scrub or something while I wait, then I moisturise and lastly suncream. I use a little bit of scented body butter on my neck, and everyone always tells me I smell so good.

at night, I use a cream cleanser if I’ve worn makeup that day, then I double cleanse. sometimes I just use the same as my morning cleanser twice, sometimes I use it once, then inkey list salicylic acid cleanser. I use my eye cream again, then if I’ve used the salicylic cleanser, I also use some salicylic drops patted into the skin. I’ve also started using a retinoid twice a week recently! I do tuesday and saturday nights. then I moisturise to finish off. I also put body butter on my neck and chest again.

every sunday before/after my shower, I do a facemask. it could be any of these:

pineapple enzyme mask

hemp mask

tumeric mask

as for hair care, pretty simple! I pretty much just use any nourishing hair masks I’ve got in at the time, as long as it’s good and slicked up. I usually plait my hair once it’s all in and then leave it for a few hours, while I do a workout or make dinner or something. I use leave-in conditioner, heat-protect spray and I use a knock-off wella bond repair oil on my hair after I dry it.

ps: I like to do my night skincare before I dry my hair, then do a nice sheet mask to lock moisture back in after my face has gotten blasted with all the hot air from drying. I find it’s really nice.

other products I also love:

laneige lip mask — I swear this is so nourishing.

glossier hot cocoa lip balm — I bought this because I saw it trending and I literally wore it every day in winter I can’t wait to buy the 'strawberry' one they just released for summer.

palmer's cocoa butter — I use this stuff on any dry/sensitive skin. you can literally put it on your feet, elbows, scabs, flaky skin?? I even put it under my nose when I get a cold so my nose doesn’t get sore from blowing it so much 🤧

'sweet tooth' perfume — I am a sabrina carpenter girly through n' through.

nyx lip oils — they're perfect. no more needs to be said.

vanilla body spray — I’m a vanilla girly, can you tell? it’s just such a good base smell for so many perfumes and scents, and it’s so nice? I get a lot of compliments about my scent.

hawaiian tropic body spray — I like to wear this in the summer, it still works with the vanilla underlayer, and everyone goes crazy for it.

snow fairy spray — this is what I smell like the whole month of december.

inkey list tripeptide plumping lip balm — this is my obsession lately, I wear it allllll the time.

ahh that was so fun to read, I love learning more about my favorite writers hehe🤭

I hope you don't mind that since you shared yours I'll share mine with you as well🙈

and omggg we actually have the same skin type so I'm taking notes of some the products you use🤓📝

I usually start off by washing my face with cleanser that makes some sort of foam because I feel like that cleanses my face better. then I use oxy total care clarifying moisturizer that has 2.5% benzoyl peroxide which completed obliterated my stubborn acne over a year ago in the span of just a few days so I've always stuck to that moisturizer no matter what. I don't even have to use it every day. If I notice some flare ups- I just go back to the regime and it'll fix it. since it can be a bit drying, I use a light moisturizer on top but since it's summer, my face gets oily very easily so during the day I apply the second moisturizer only over my eye area to keep it hydrated. for spot treatment I just use oxy rapid spot treatment with 10% benzoyl peroxide and make sure to apply it to my nose if I wear sunscreen (as sunscreen gives me annoying under the skin pimples on my nose) but that completely prevents it so I ✨love✨ it then biore spf 50 watery essence sunscreen (it's very light) for make up I just use elf instant lift brow pencil for my eyebrows, I love the little brush it has. and finally some tinted red chapstick to keep my lips moist at night If I'm not too lazy, I'll double cleanse using ponds cold cream and a warm wet towel then use one of my regular foaming cleansers I use the same moisturizers as the day time but apply the second moisturizer over my whole face as well and the spot treatment(if needed) under my moisturizers

I think my explanation was a bit over wordy but oh well😬

you🫵 definitely cured some of my boredom💗hehe

of course i don’t mind!! ooooh i need to give the oxy a try! and the biore sounds so nice and refreshing 🤩

i’m glad i could cure some of your boredom <3

Hey beauty enthusiasts! 🌟 Let's talk about some game-changing hacks to keep your makeup brushes in top-notch condition and make your beauty routine even more flawless.

1. **Deep Clean with DIY Solutions**: Skip the expensive brush cleaners and opt for a DIY solution. Mix warm water, a few drops of gentle baby shampoo, and a splash of olive oil. The baby shampoo cleanses, while the olive oil conditions the bristles, keeping them soft and effective.

2. **Quick Dry with a Towel Trick**: After washing, wrap your brushes in a clean towel and secure with rubber bands. This helps absorb excess water quickly, speeding up the drying process. Just make sure the bristles maintain their shape.

3. **Shape Maintenance with Brush Guards**: Invest in brush guards or use a DIY version with mesh tubing. Slide these over the bristles after cleaning to keep their shape intact as they dry. This hack is crucial for maintaining precision with your brushes.

4. **Multi-Purpose Brushes**: Maximize your brush collection by using them for multiple purposes. A fluffy brush can double as a powder and blush applicator, and a small angled brush can be perfect for both eyeliner and eyebrows.

5. **Sanitize on the Go**: Keep a small spray bottle of rubbing alcohol in your makeup bag. A quick spritz can sanitize your brushes between uses, especially handy for travel or busy mornings.

6. **Storage Savvy**: Store your brushes upright in a jar filled with coffee beans or rice. This not only keeps them organized but also absorbs any remaining moisture, helping them stay fresh and bacteria-free.

7. **Revive Old Brushes**: If your brushes are looking a little worse for wear, give them a new lease on life by conditioning the bristles with a bit of coconut oil. Let it sit for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly and reshape.

By incorporating these hacks into your routine, your makeup brushes will last longer and perform better, ensuring every makeup application is a masterpiece. Happy brushing! 💄✨

#BeautyHacks #MakeupBrushes #FlawlessFinish #BeautyRoutine

🌟Unlock Your Beauty Potential with the Right Makeup Brushes!💗

Whether you’re a makeup novice or a seasoned pro, having the right tools can make all the difference. Makeup brushes are essential for achieving a flawless finish and elevating your beauty routine. From foundation to eyeshadow, each brush is designed with a specific purpose in mind.

1. **Foundation Brush:** Ensures an even, streak-free application of liquid or cream foundation.

2. **Powder Brush:** Perfect for setting your makeup with a light, even dusting of powder.

3. **Blush Brush:** Adds a natural flush to your cheeks with precision and ease.

4. **Eyeshadow Brushes:** From blending to packing on color, these brushes help create stunning eye looks.

5. **Contour Brush:** Defines and sculpts your face for a more chiseled appearance.

6. **Lip Brush:** Allows for precise application of lipstick, ensuring clean lines and vibrant color.

Invest in quality brushes, keep them clean, and watch your makeup game soar to new heights. Remember, great makeup starts with great tools!

Beautiful skin tips pleaseeeee🥰

Hii angel sure thing <3

You need to figure out your skin type.

This can help you

After you have idea or you figure out your skin type then you can move on to taking proper care of your skin.

Have a healthy diet - can help you look good and feel good.

- eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains & lean proteins

Drink alot of water

- I don't know how many times I will have to say this again but I'll continue to say it. Water does wonders to your skin

For face products/ routine

AM - cleanser, vitamin c serum, moisturizer & spf

Spf not just prevent your body from sun burn but as you get older you get may get wrinkles so as you spf it also prevent you from getting wrinkles as you get older

PM- now you don't always have to do all this

Double cleanse, toner, targeted serum & moisturizer

You can adjust that however you want also I can't tell you what face products to use on your face you have to find your skin type first pr if you can't do it by yourself you go to dermatologists then after that you buy face products that will actually work for your skin type and make your skin look better.

I hope this post helps you <3

Love youu💗

5 and 9 !

5. favorite form of potato?

tornado potato lol this fuckin slaps, asian street food >>>>

9. do you have a skincare routine and how many steps is it?

yes!! i'm a skincare junkie i have around 3 steps. note that my skin is combination but more to the dryer side than oily, also its extra sensitive to EVERYTHING lol.

☆ AM routine ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*) ~ 1.) 💧 hydrate i don't cleanse in the morning, bc cleansing is the most damaging part of the routine. i only cleanse at night. i use The Inkey List Hyaluronic Acid.

this only works if the area you live in is humid!! the way HA / hyaluronic is a humectant, it pulls water from the outside, so if the area you live in is dry, it will pull water from inside your skin instead, so its a big no. i live in a very humid country, this works wonders for me! it plumps and hydrate the skin. really good for the morning.

2.) 🧴 moisturize i use Aveeno Oat gel. this is perfect for my combo skin bc its not too heavy especially living in a humid area. and my skin is very sensitive so i like to use a more simple ingredients in a product.

3.) ☀️ SPF the most important part of the routine!! i use Elta MD spf 40, i feel like everyone already know this by now, if you don't know then i'm telling you now to wear your sunscreen.

don't matter if you're indoor, outdoor if it's sunny, cloudy, wear them!! protect your skin from skin cancer please 💗.

☆ PM routine (｡ﾉω＼｡) ~

1.) 🧼 double cleanseto get rid of spf, make up, and other products being put on my face from work. so i never skip double cleansing!! i have two items, Bioderma Sensibio and made sure the cotton is fully soaked bc you don't want to drag the pad when it's slightly damp, it'll irritate the skin. for around the eyes, you don't want to be rubbing cotton on that area as it is the thinnest skin of your body, for the lips and if theres still some make up or spf left. i'd use a cleansing balm from Farmacy Green Clean.

2.) 💦 water based cleansingi have two cleansers i'd use depending on the skin condition. one is Krave Beauty Matcha Hemp for when my skin is dull, dry or needs hydration.

and Cerave renewing SA (salicylic acid) when i need a gentle exfoliation, or when i'm on my period to deep cleanse and prevent acne from forming.

3.) 🧴moisturize if my skin has been experiencing some redness, irritation, sensitivity i use Krave Beauty Great Barrier Relief. this really is my holy grail, it never fail me. but if its behaving, stable, and normal i use the same Aveeno Oat gel from the morning routine.

that is all i use, i try to keep it simple bc i think too much steps aren't necessary. what i'm using are all fragrance free, and alcohol free! !! + i forgot to add if i ran out of the Aveeno moisturizer or if it's sold out since in my country it's a hassle to get US / Canadian products for some reason, i alter it to Krave Beauty Oat so Simple. or the I'm From Mugwort Cream.
