simple skincare routine (+ product recommendations based of skin types)

hi angels! skincare has been a big passion of mine since i was around twelve and began to develop some hormonal skincare issues. these really made me insecure and i still struggle with my skin. but being consistent and developing my routine, working out my skin type, eating with my skin as a focus and trial and error has got me to a place where im much much happier with my skin - and id love to share some tips and products with you!! remember your skin is exposed to so much and such a delicate part of your body, treat it with the love and respect it deserves. ˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

firstly: figuring out your skin type

im not exaggerating when i say the basis of a good skincare routine is knowing your skin type. it makes it easier to buy products, work out what your skin needs and how to achieve the look you want.

dermatologists agree that there are four skin types:

oily (skin produces more oils and sebum).

dry (produces less oils and sebum).

normal (produces a normal amount of oils and sebum).

combination (areas of skin which are dry and areas that are sebum heavy/oily).

so…

how do you work out your skin type?

well there are two easy at home methods!

watch and wait (requires cleanser): wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. wait for half an hour or so and observe your skin. shiny all over = oily. tight and perhaps flaky = dry. shine in t zone = likely combination. hydrated and comfortable but not too oily = normal.

blotting sheet method (requires blotting sheets and cleanser): wash face with gentle cleanser, pat dry and waist for half an hour or so. press blotting sheets to chin, cheeks, forehead etc and examine the oil left on the sheets. lots of oil = oily. almost no oil/no oil = dry. oil mostly in t zone = combination. minimal all over face = normal.

˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

secondly: building a routine

now youve worked out what skin type you have it’s time to build a routine! i personally have combination skin that verges more on the dry side.

my am and pm skincare routines look like this…

am: cleanser, ice face, oil face and do gentle gua sha routine, moisturiser and spf. applying facial sanitising spray regularly throughout the day.

pm: double cleanse, ice face (only if feeling puffy/sore), moisturiser, 1 - 2 spot treatments and sanitise face.

am products:

cerave hydrating cleanser.

corsx moisturiser (great for dry and spot prone skin, little goes along way).

la roche posay spf 50+.

jojoba face oil.

vital baby face spray.

pm products:

la roche posay effclar duo.

avene hydrance aqua cream.

two over the counter spot treatments.

you may need to cleanse your face more/less, use less moisturiser etc. developing your skin care routine is through trial and error, just be observant of your skin and take notes on any effects or changes a product seems to have.

˚₊‧꒰ა ♡ ໒꒱ ‧₊˚

When Someone Tries to Touch Your Hair

JJK men x gn black!reader

I had this idea for a little while and I absolutely love it. As someone who has to literally fight off ppl with a stick to keep them from basically "petting" me, I thought it would be so cute to write about the JJK men sticking up for you

Warnings: Fluff!, no nsfw but MINORS ARE STILL NOT ALLOWED GO AWAY, angst in Gojo's, specified braids/locs/twists in Toji's, unwanted physical touch, I think that's it!

Starring: Nanami Kento, Toji Fushiguro, Gojo Satoru

MINORS DNI. AGELESS AND MINOR BLOGS WILL BE BLOCKED

Nanami Kento

Of course he remains calm, he's always calm. but trust, inside he is BOILING with anger

Kento adores your hair, it sounds weird but he loves watching you on wash day care and tend to your hair with such detail and precision. Apart of it is so he can learn to do it himself one day so you won't have to spend so much time doing it yourself

He's always buying the best products for you no matter how expensive he knows black hair care products can be.

Design Essentials, Creme of Nature, Mielle, jojoba oil, tea tree oil, hair masks, curling cream-- you name it (or even glance at it in the store) he's already bought it for you

So seeing someone disrespect you by even attempting to touch you makes him absolutely livid

Kento: "I don't know I didn't think it was all that great, the plot didn't really make a lot of sense." Kento said as you two walked out the doors of the movie theater.

Y/N: "What?! I thought it was good, you're always hating on superhero movies you're like an old person. Oh! the boba place closes at 9:30 did you still wanna--

"Oh my gosh I just have to ask who does your hair? It's so pretty!" A young woman around your age popped up from behind you guys, her intensity kind of startling you a little bit

Y/N: "Oh, thank you that's so sweet! I actually do it myself" you smiled and she looked at you in astonishment

"Really? Wow it looks like it was done by a professional, I bet it takes you so long!"

Kento's eyebrow raise and body stiffen in an almost defensive way, he was already anticipating what was coming next

Y/N: "Yeah, sometimes it can. It kind of just depends on how tired I am that d--

Your body leaned back as she reached out to grab the top of your head. Kento wrapped his arm around you and pulled you back by your shoulders, shooting daggers at the woman as if she had just committed an unforgivable act

Kento: "Please step back. You don't need to touch them to compliment them." he reprimanded and held a firmer grip on your shoulder. He wasn't going to yell at a woman he didn't know but he sure as hell was going to get his point across

"O-oh Im sorry I didn't mean anything by it. I just think it looks really ni--

Kento: "Then you can think it's nice from a distance, they're not a dog. Have a good night." Kento intwined your hand in his and led you away to the car. You looked up at him and a small grin grew across your face

Kento: "Don't look at me like that."

Y/N: "You're like a guard dog. Like a snappy little golden retriever." you giggled before planting a kiss on his jaw which he returned with one on the top of your head

Kento: "Cmon lets go get boba."

Toji Fushiguro

Rage, Rage, and more RAGE

The anger that fills this mans body when someone tries to touch you is immeasurable, ESPECIALLY if its a man

Sometimes you have to calm Toji down when someone tries but its no use, he's already out of his seat and practically ready to kill

Toji is definitely someone who values his personal space, so he completely understood your frustration when you talked about how crazy it is that some people think its okay to try and touch you without permission

He's only seen it happen a few times, thankfully most people had common sense. But there was always that one asshole that crosses the line

You and Toji were out on a late night supply run getting items for Megumis science fair project. You roamed through the aisles of the arts and craft store filling your basket with acrylic paint, styrofoam blocks, construction paper and glue sticks

Toji: "What kind of fifth grader does a science project on soil erosion? Can't we just do something normal like a volcano or something?"

Y/N: "Are you gonna keep complaining all night or are you gonna actually help find everything on the list?" You turned around mad dogging him, both of you were tired and a little bit cranky and snappy at one another. Most of it was playful but some of it intended

Toji: "You look like a pig when you scrunch your knows like that." He chuckled attempting to pull you in for a kiss

Y/N: "You bitch-- Go get someone to open the spraypaints for us!" You said shoving your hand in his face and pushing his head back. Toji sauntered away to find the nearest employee to assist you guys

You stood alone in the aisle for a few minutes scrolling through instagram to pass the time until Toji came back, until a tap on your shoulder caught your attention. A random man, had approached you attempting to spark a conversation. Your eyes jotted back and forth around the area wondering where tf could Toji be and why was he taking so long to get back

"You got a really pretty smile you know that? Pretty hair too, you do this all by yourself?" He asked and took one of your (protective style)'s in his hands

Toji: "Now you..." Toji came up behind the man and planted a firm grip on his shoulder, "...are way too ugly and way too short to think they'd ever want someone like you to touch them. Don't you think?"

The man trembled in place at the vast size difference between the two

"I--"

He couldn't get a whole sentence in before Toji pulled him back by his hair then slammed him head first into the shelves next to him, making the man scream in pain. The star captured the attention of multiple employees and needless to say it wasn't long until you were being led out of the building by security.

Toji: "Did I do too much again?" He asked from the passenger seat, knowing full well he didn't regret his actions

Y/N: "We just got banned from the store, what do you think Toji?"

Toji: "Are you mad at me?"

Y/N: "Yes I'm mad!"

Toji: "Mm. The blush on your face doesn't look like someone who'd be mad at me." He grinned and you tried to hide the smile that started to form

Y/N: "Shut the fuck up."

Gojo Satoru

Gojo unfortunately was very ignorant to the topic at first

Maybe it was a cultural difference but when you told him people would ask to touch your hair he thought it wasn’t that big of a deal

“If someone admired your hair so much that they want to get close to it shouldn’t that be a compliment to you? It’s like they’re complimenting an artist for their artwork right? I don’t really see the harm in that, I touch Getos hair all the time and he's fine with it.” He said once before

Nonetheless it led to a very heated argument

He didn’t understand all the fuss around it, that was until he saw it actually happen

Seeing how physically uncomfortable you get when someone you don’t know tries to “pet” you put it all in perspective for him

Y/N: “Gojo, hurry we’re gonna miss the train!” You shouted as you ran through the subway station

Gojo: “I’m coming slow down! I don’t wanna drop anything.” He followed closely behind carrying the other bags of groceries you guys got from the farmers market

You both managed to slip through the train doors in time before it departed. You two managed to find two seats by the window, it was a preferred spot that way you both could gaze upon the countryside greenery as you passed on your way back to the city. Gojo leaned against the window and you leaned against his shoulder, the both of you trying to get some rest after a full day of walking.

The train stopped at its next spot to let on a few more passengers and a tap on your shoulder shook you out of your rest.

“Can i touch your hair?” a young woman behind you asked, but she had already reached out her hand before you could even answer. You pulled back before her hand could touch you

“Oh, um no please don’t do that…” you awkwardly said and turned back around. You looked over at Gojo who you know heard everything but was undermining the situation yet again

Gojo: “Calm down she didn’t mean anything by it, go back to sleep.” He dismissed you, not even bothering to open his eyes as he still laid against the window. You let out a low scoff and laid back against your seat instead of Gojos shoulder like you were before

The next few minutes we’re quiet as you dozed back off until you heard a loud camera click and could hear the girl frantically trying to turn the volume down

Y/N: “Did you just take a picture of me?”

“Oh it wasn't a bad one I was just sending your hairstyle to my friend I think it’s cute.”

Y/N: “I don’t care. Don’t take a fucking picture of me if—

“I didn’t even touch you so calm the fuck down…this is why no body likes to compliment you people anyways. You take everything too goddamn seriously.” she muttered the last bit under her breath but still loud enough to pick up. This sentence being the one that finally caught Gojos attention

Gojo: “What was that?” He stood up towering over the young woman

“I-I didn’t say anyth— I’m s-sor—

Gojo: “Shut up. Delete it. Now.” His eyes pierced through her and she scrambled to reopen her camera and delete the photos. She flipped the phone towards his face to show that they were no longer in her folder

Gojo: “Now go to a different seat. And if you touch them against i’ll smash that stupid fucking phone into the fucking concrete.” The young woman ran from her seat to the other side of the train as quickly as possible and Gojo sat back down. He attempted to put his arm around you but you wanted no part in it, for the next 30 minutes you ignored every attempt he made to get a word out of you. Even on the walk home you were cold

Gojo: “Y/N if you don’t tell me what’s wrong I can’t fix it!” he said as you entered your apartment

Y/N: “IVE TOLD YOU WHATS WRONG BEFORE. YOU DONT LISTEN!” you yelled, something he rarely heard you do, “I told you countless times before that people trying to touch me is a reoccurring problem for me and what did you do? You belittled me and made it seem like no big deal. Why did it take someone being blatantly racist towards me for you to actually start caring? Why did I have to prove the problem to you?” He looked back at you with no words just a stunned expression as he struggled to find the right thing to say

Gojo: “I…I don’t know. I’m sorry.” you rolled your eyes at his lackluster reply and turned away to the bedroom

Y/N: “Whatever. I’m going to bed.”

Gojo: “Y/N, wait I—

you slammed the door in his face before he could finish his sentence

How did Elvis took care of his awesome hair? 🚿🍃

Plus, a quick overview on one of the King's hairdressers and Memphis Mafia man, Larry Geller: How somewhat he was the friend Elvis needed and how Elvis' over-controlling inner circle banned Geller from their surroundings for a while.

I was actually looking if I could find Elvis' haircut name - precisely the type of haircut he had on the '68 Comeback Special and "Charro!" (1968), since I'm a girl and I have zero idea about the names for male haircuts but I just love that haircut he had so much I wanted to talk about it... anyway. But I found an article about Elvis' hair care routine and that sounds very interesting to me, so it might be something you wanna know too.

This is told by Larry Geller, so this means this was Elvis' hair routine starting from mid 60's on, precisely from 1964 to 1967, and possibly also from late 1972 to 1977 *, periods in which Larry was responsible for taking care of the King's hair.

Geller, who will be launching his own line of organic hair products later this year, tested out some of his first custom mixes on Elvis. “I used to go to the health food store and get a benign base shampoo and get some vitamin capsules and pour 99 percent pure aloe vera and other herbs into it, and shake it up,” Geller tells Yahoo Beauty. “That’s what I used on Elvis’ hair. He said to me, right from the get-go, ‘You can do whatever you want with my hair, but one thing — make sure I keep it!’” Source: Yahoo Beauty: Elvis Presley’s Hairstylist Spills the King’s Secrets by Lilit Marcus. The article was shared on a Graceland's website on January 28, 2014.

Elvis, you're the best, man. LOL. Just that comment is worth this entire post. It made me laugh. But the article goes on.

Then there was the daily routine. “I shampooed his hair regularly, usually every day. I would massage his scalp for a few minutes, then brush his hair at least 50 or 60 strokes. I was focused on long-term health of his hair, which was so important,” Geller explains. He also used products like vitamin E and jojoba oil to style Elvis’ hair and replace conditioner. Hairspray was used to set it, with Geller alternating multiple brands so that none of them would dry out Elvis’ coif too much. As for its color, Geller dyed Elvis’ hair every two to three weeks with a L’Oreal formula. What did the two men discuss during all that grooming? Religion, philosophy, books, life, and anything else you can think of. “Elvis had everything,” says Geller. “He was an extraordinary human being. He had the greatest eyes, the greatest voice, fans galore. He also had great hair.”

Elvis in "Frankie and Johnny" and "Spinout", both 1966 movies.

Larry Geller styled Elvis’ hair for: "Roustabout" (1964), Girl Happy (1965), Tickle Me (1965), Harum Scarum (1965), Frankie and Johnny (1966), Paradise, Hawaiian Style (1966), Spinout (1966), Easy Come, Easy Go (1967), Double Trouble (1967), and Clambake (1967). Geller prepared Elvis’ hair for the last time for his funeral in August, 1977.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elvis' hair must have been so good smelling and soft. Washed every day, organic products to make it smooth and shiny as it was. 🫠🥹

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, if you want to understand why there's a pause in Larry's association with Elvis, here it is:

LARRY GELLER QUITS WORKING FOR ELVIS IN 1967: INDIRECTLY CAUSED BY ELVIS' HEAD INJURY POSTPONING THE FILMING FOR 'CLAMBAKE'.

On March 9, 1967, Elvis was staying in him home in Bel Air, Los Angeles, and one incident (Elvis tripped over a TV cord in his bathroom and banged his head against a porcelain bathtub) caused the beginning of the production for the movie "Clambake", for which he was preparing to, to be postponed. Colonel Parker was fuming when he heard about the need for Elvis to take a couple of weeks of resting to recover from the mild concussion he had. It was a critical moment in Elvis' life. By the time the filming begun, Elvis even put up some weight from his normal 170 lb (77 kg) to 200 lb (91 kg) — I said it before, whenever this happened to Elvis' body it was because he was extremely distressed. He was an emotional eater.

Getting back to the accident, Parker even thought Elvis did it on purpose not to fulfill his Hollywood commitment since Presley clearly was not happy about his movies anymore, something Parker somehow blamed it on Elvis' spiritual quest. He pulled some strings to manipulate Elvis to remove Larry Geller from his inner circle by saying to him that all that spiritual thing was getting too much into his head, distracting him from his business obligations. If not enough Parker said to Presley that Larry Geller was brainwashing him because of some personal agenda he must have had in his mind — it's mentioned by someone, somewhere (i'm sorry, I'm not gonna remember where I've read it now) that Geller was planning on using Elvis' money to open a religious study center or something like that).

Basically, Parker thought Larry was a threat because if Elvis decided in throwing his career away, like some say he was by becoming a preacher, Parker would lose his most profitable and only client. Consequently all the religion and spiritual "shit" (as they called) that Larry Geller had put inside the King's head (as they thought), presenting him with many books and having deep conversations for hours with Elvis about several religious and spiritual subjects but not exclusively that, they also talked about meditation and self improvement as a human beings, astrology and so on, all of that was threatening Parker's plans over Elvis.

But Parker didn't make it on his own. Even Priscilla says in her memoir book that Elvis was obsessively reading non-stop and wanting to share his learning with everybody else, but his friends and herself didn't care about none of this self-improvement and religious talk. His inner circle even looked at Presley's spiritual quest as somewhat annoying, including Priscilla. Their thoughts about Larry Geller were something like "Larry changed his mind. Elvis is not spending time with us as he used to." Ugh!

Nobody actually told Larry to leave, tho, and Elvis wouldn't do such thing if he didn't have a good reason to - until this point Larry was a confidant to him, one of the only people he could talk about life and wonder what was God's plan for him, his true life mission, something Elvis would never cease trying to understand. However, Elvis' inner circle and Colonel Parker begun making Geller feel uncomfortable, unwelcome among the group, while they took Elvis' attention back to them, practically forcing Geller to decide to finally leave and go away for good, and he did it. But it was not something definite.

Many things happened in Elvis' life since Larry Geller and him went different ways but by August 1972, tho, Geller got back in contact in Elvis when he attended one of Presley's concerts in Las Vegas, and from then on Larry begins working for Elvis again, till the end of the King's life in 1977.

My holy grail is a facial oil, specifically rose oil, which has completely altered my skin in comparison to all other skin care products. I absolutely realize that face oils can seem like a scary skincare product, especially if you have oily or acne-prone skin. Nevertheless, using facial oil on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do, and my skin is the live proof of that!

In my twenties, I had severe breakouts that had a significant negative impact on my confidence. As a result, when I started researching skin care products and learned about the therapeutic properties of rose oil, I was captivated. I came to understand that I had been using so many harsh things that stripped my skin, damaged my skin barrier, and ultimately caused my sebaceous glands to go into overdrive in order to compensate for the lack of moisture I had been depriving my skin of. Reducing the number of harsh products I was using and incorporating a face oil into my routine undoubtedly helped to heal, moisturize, and rejuvenate my skin.

When we launched our skincare line, Wishful, I was so struck by how much of a change I had actually seen that I knew I wanted to incorporate my favorite ingredient, rose oil, into a potent facial oil. Hence, I created our Get Even Rose Oil for myself in order to aid in the healing of my skin and pores. I've never felt more confident and my skin has never been healthier. Check out 5 (of the many reasons) I'm obsessed with using face oils if you still have any doubts.

1. All Skin Types May Utilize Facial Oils

Contrary to common belief, almost all skin types can benefit from facial oils—you just need to find the right one! Even if you have oily or acne-prone skin, your skin may still be dry. Using facial oils is a highly eco-friendly way to give your skin the surge of moisture it needs. In fact, some oils, like jojoba, which resemble the sebum produced by your skin, can help to stabilize oil production. It should go without saying that face oil is a need if you have dry skin.

If you're not sure where to start, look for oils high in linoleic acids, such as rosehip oil, as they contain restorative fatty acids that can be quickly absorbed, leaving no greasy residue. Our Get Even Rose Oil was created to be suitable for all types of skin.

2. My trick for luminous, dewy skin

We are all aware that hydration, hydration, and hydration is key to radiant, dewy skin, and oils are fantastic for packing a big punch! Oils are also brimming with antioxidants that brighten the skin, like vitamin C, which is a great method to leave your skin glowing all the time while also protecting it from aging free radicals. Think of it as a bottle of radiance.

3. Use of Facial Oils May Help Even Out Texture and Uneven Tone

It makes sense to include oil in your daily routine if you want to reduce the appearance of dark spots or post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIP), level out your skin's tone and texture, or even out dark spots. Oils are rich in fatty acids, omegas, vitamins, and minerals that combine to activate collagen and promote cell turnover, reducing the occurrence of hyperpigmentation and post-pimple marks while also smoothing the texture of the skin.

5/11/2021 - New Moon In Taurus & Horoscopes For All Signs

The New Moon in Taurus is here! This is a wonderful time of rejuvenation, relaxation, and peacefulness. The New Moon in Taurus will bring a sense of comfort to every sign, and provide a space for emotional security. Work on getting to bed a little earlier or perhaps sleeping in more on days where you can afford to. Reworking your daily routine to include some self-care is something highly encouraged by the Universe. When you start taking time for yourself, you will find that more opportunities and options show up for you effortlessly! You might be listening to binaural beats, Singing bowls, Guided meditations, and Subliminals. These are going to help clear your mind immensely which is going to recharge you. Switching up your nightly routine in order to wind down easier will help you get to sleep faster. Deciding to put your phone away an hour before heading to sleep will be beneficial in aiding your sleep. Reading books, drawing, or listening to music will also encourage you to express yourself or indulge in your imagination. Make sure to take naps throughout this New Moon in Taurus also as the days might make you feel a bit heavier. This is also a great time to renovate your living space as well. Some might be wanting to invest in new bed sets, furniture, or odds and ends. This is the perfect time to do so as you will feel more energized to fix the energy of your environments. When your space is cleaned and cleansed, you will feel so much more inspired to get to your daily routine. It's incredibly important to make your space around you into your sanctuary! Doing self care during this Taurus New Moon is crucial as well!

Meditation is also going to be a beneficial thing to harness during this New Moon Taurus! Don't fret too much about if you fall asleep during your meditation ; sometimes that's what you need at that moment. Try again after being fully rested! Some are being pulled to guided meditations on Youtube such as Past Life Regressions, Connecting with/Meeting your Spirit Guides, and Spirit Animal Meditations. This is the perfect time to really work on your spirituality and to better understand who your spiritual team are!

Rituals that you can do during the Taurus New Moon:

Let's cover some of the best face and skin treatment rituals for during this time, shall we? My grandfather always said to me growing up, “Cleanliness is Next To Godliness, And Your Body Needs To Be Cleaned Like A Temple”. This is going to be a wonderful time to focus on your Glow and to Clean YOUR body like the Temple it is. The overall vibe of the New Moon in Taurus going forward though is to take care of your skin through Face Masks, Facials, Sugar Scrubs, Baths or Bath Bombs. Deciding to have a spiritual bath can also be very healing during this time also as it will cleanse you going forward throughout the rest of the month. This can be baths that are taken with your favorite essential oils, your favorite candles burning, or your favorite crystals in the water with you. Focusing on Skincare by using your favorite oils before bed – Argon, Rosehip Seed, Raspberry, Marula, Carrot Seed, or even Jojoba Oil will help you increase your confidence this month. When we take the extra time and focus it on our skin, our mental space will thank us also. Some might be deciding to do the blackhead strips, charcoal masks, or under eye patches – and perhaps you have been debating with yourself on if you should get these things lately. Spirit is saying – Treat Yourself during this Taurus New Moon, dearest! You can also take this time to do an oil treatment in your hair, leaving it in overnight so it can absorb as much moisture as possible. Coconut oil is amazing for this, but beware if you have dyed your hair with henna as coconut oil can cause your dye to run.

One of my favorite things to do is create my own bath supplies, so I want to share my favorite recipes for Sugar Scrub:

½ Cup Brown Sugar

½ Cup Granulated Sugar

1/3 Cup Salt

1 Tablespoon Essential Oil of Your Choice!

Mix and then apply to your skin and all over your body. You can also add in coffee grounds, but I would suggest using more brown sugar as a cushion as the coffee grounds can be a bit rough against your skin. Sea Salt is also optional, but I generally don't use it unless I'm making a courser salt for feet and hands. Oatmeal masks are also amazing too as they calm inflamed skin or outbreaks of acne. Trust yourself and follow your intuition on what your skin needs most. I like to make two big batches of both peppermint and vanilla body scrubs during the holiday season so I always have them on hand throughout the year. These keep perfectly, so long as you don't get any water inside of the jar itself. Keep in a plastic container and get some out each time you're ready to go into the shower or bath. It's wonderful to use courser sugar scrubs right before you remove hair as well to exfoliate and lift the hairs you are wanting to shave or wax. Some might also be getting into Sugaring more over this period too, which your skin is going to thank you for!

Some Essential Oils I suggest for skin health and the yummy smell they have are as follows:

Lemon

Vanilla

Peppermint

Pomegranate

Frankincense

Another great, cost effective and organic home remedy facial treatment for those that don't mind doing a more nontraditional face mask - take an egg from the fridge, separate the yolk from the white into different cups. Whisk both separately, but save the yolk for later. Take the whisked egg white and begin to spread on your face. Let dry onto skin, then wash off. Go back to the yolk, give another whisk, then apply and wait until it dries again. Wash face off, and enjoy your skin feeling incredibly soft! I would do this every week as a teenager growing up as it was more accessible money-wise for me than affording face masks or oils. It really works amazingly! The whole process can take up to an hour, so make sure to have your favorite songs or videos ready to keep you company!

Horoscopes for Each Sign and Element over the New Moon in Taurus:

Please make sure to check your Sun, Moon, Rising, and Venus Signs as you might resonate more with their energies. :)

EARTH: 7 of Cups – Options, Options, and More Options are coming your way, Earth Signs! You might find that during this Taurus New Moon, which is a time of introspection and rest, you have more to do than any other sign. You're taking a lot onto your plate at once, but you know that you have what it takes to get everything accomplished. Some Earth signs are going to be pleasantly surprised with a gift someone got them over this period. It's going to be something sentimental, and perhaps something you will cherish for many years to come. I'm seeing a pearl, so you might be receiving a necklace or some form of jewelry from someone you love. For other's, there's this energy of you don't need all of the riches in the world to be happy. You're focused on the joy and sentimentality in the world currently rather than material gains, which is going to make you a lot happier in the long run. For a select few Earth Signs, you're starting to realize that everyone is on their own timing. If we were to all be successful at the same time, where would the excitement be? Know as you work hard that your time is coming soon – and what you're expecting is better than all the riches in the world.

Taurus: Knight Of Cups – Self-love that leads to a romantic connection is coming your way, Taurus! This is coming after some Taurus might have been in hiding or isolation for the longest time, but you're ready to emerge. The Butterfly is finally leaving the safety of the cocoon to spread their wings and enjoy the world! This is your vibe right now under the New Moon in your sign, Taurus. Allow yourself to explore new ideas or adventures in your life. This leap of faith is what is going to not only bring you to self-love, but to a healthy relationship, too. For some Taurus, you might be scared on how to approach a partnership or connection. Don't be as this person appreciates your genuineness, and wants you to only approach as yourself. Keep loving and appreciating yourself, Taurus. You bring a lot of beauty into the world! Also, if you feel the need to stay longer in your cocoon; that's okay! But please don't forget to come out and love on those who love you!

Virgo: Queen Of Wands – This Virgo's on Fire! You're focusing on your passions and becoming dedicated to your life purpose. Because of this, People are going to be finally giving you the recognition that you deserve. Allow yourself to focus on things that light that fire underneath you! That's what's going to bring you to abundance! Some Virgo's are going to have other's being jealous about them, because you are going to be thriving during this Taurus New Moon. You're glowing from head to toe, and it's making other's feel a bit on edge. Some might have gotten used to you always being their Yes Man, that they hardly even noticed when you started doing your own thing or started shining. Those in a relationship, your partner might be the one feeling jealous with all of the extra attention you're going to be receiving. False friends are coming to the light now too, Virgo. Some might be wanting to come back to find something to gossip about or just want to get into your good graces now that you're making a name for yourself. Focus on you right now. Work on you, and be your own Yes Man.

Capricorn: 8 Of Coins – You're working hard, Capricorn! You're putting in the elbow grease needed to level up or achieve more. You might be working overtime or deciding to take more time on your hobbies. This might also give you the chance to make a career from your hobbies too! Some Capricorn's are craving nature and this is The Universe directly asking you to spend some time outside. Connect with Mother Gaia and you will feel a lot lighter. Some are being called towards rivers or creeks. It might be beneficial to pack a picnic and sit next to water for a few hours, Capricorn. Some other Capricorn's might be deciding to get into a new exercise regime. This is going to not only raise your confidence with the endorphin boost, but get your body looking tone and fit! Remember to take your time with this, and to go into your exercise focusing on the self-care that comes with it. Don't stress yourself out too much or overwhelm yourself in regards to loosing a certain amount of weight. See this instead as getting active and going! For one Capricorn in particular, people are noticing that booty. (The Tarot card in front of me, this man literally has the nicest butt haha, so I think this is a message for some.) Regardless of whatever you're focused on, things are getting done, Capricorn! Great job!

AIR: Page Of Cups – Someone has been keeping an eye on you, Air Signs! This is someone who wants to come in with a declaration of their feelings. This isn't anything big, and for some Air Signs, you might not even realize this person has deep feelings for you. This could entail them doing small acts of service, traveling to you, or opening up lines of communication more. For some this person is at a bit of a distance, or might have felt like they were. They're coming back around, don't worry! Other Air Signs are going to be focusing on their own Self-Care routine. This could include spiritual baths, space cleanses, facials, watching that new series that came out on Netflix, etc. Whatever it might be for you, you're deciding to start turning your attention towards your own care more. Pampering yourself is the name of the game over the Taurus New Moon. Other Air Signs are starting to be less critical of themselves and really start to see all they bring to the table. Good for you, Air Signs!

Gemini: 9 Of Wands – You're pushing forward resiliently, Gemini! You might have felt that you couldn't achieve all you set your mind to in the past, but here you are! You're pushing forward every day and putting one foot in front of the other. You're strong and courageous, unwavering and persistent. This is why you are in the homestretch with what you're manifesting into being! Whether this be a deeper level of commitment, more recognition at work, or a higher paycheck – you're almost there! Some Gemini's might feel as if they are being pulled in ma different directions too. Know that over this Taurus New Moon it's okay to say no or stay true to your own boundaries. You don't owe anyone anything. Other than owing yourself the life you've always desired! Finish up this cycle, Gemini! You got this in the bag!

Libra: 2 Of Wands - There are decisions to be made about the future, Libra. Are you ready to take the leap of faith towards your goals and success? You're making plans for a better future in general. You're planning to be smarter in terms of business or just providing for yourself. Libras are not going to be taking no for an answer when it comes to their dreams any longer – no. You're deciding to start taking the bull by the horns to achieve what you really want. Some Libra's will have a change of heart from what they originally thought that they wanted or needed. I'm hearing, “What I thought I wanted, I don't actually want.” Interesting, Libra! Don't feel scared to change course! Just because you might have invested a lot into one path doesn't mean you should continue down it if it no longer resonates with your story (and who you are!)

Aquarius: Knight Of Coins – You're taking your shot, Aquarius, and it's looking to be a Bullseye! Trust in your talents and know that you have all of the resources to be able to accomplish your dreams. You're leaping into success, but The Universe also wants you to pace yourself as you're going forward. Yes it's good to keep pushing forward, but it's important to aim before you decide to shoot your arrow. Meticulousness is your biggest friend right now! Make sure to weigh all the pros and cons before making decisions as well. Some Aquarians might notice themselves having the Mitas Touch going forward! Everything you touch will be Gold, and you're going to really be bringing in that coin! In any event, whatever you're moving towards, Aquarius, is going to provide you with a new level of stability. Get excited!!

WATER: Justice – Divine Justice is coming your way, Water Signs! Are you ready for a major shift in your favor? Something you've waited for is finally coming full circle. For some, it's as if the Universe kept you in the dark so that when this finally got to you it would be a surprise. You're also being asked to get your life back in balance where it might not be. Getting back into your own equilibrium is going to give you better perspective as well. For other Water Signs your friends might be helping to give you insight on what is happening behind the scenes. There might be one friend in particular that is going to confide a secret in you. I feel this is going to be something that they haven't told anyone, so really hold this close. For one Water Sign in particular, it feels as if someone is testing you to see what you would do in a certain situation. A Cancer/Libra pairing could potentially be important.

Cancer: The Sun – Happiness and joy are all yours, Cancer! You are going to feel lighter than you have in quite a while. It will feel exhilarating and will give you a pep in your step to accomplish your work throughout the week. You're going to be focusing on the bright side, and finding the silver linings even in the disappointments. Things as a whole will be illuminated in a way that highlights just how blessed and abundant you are. Some are going to be spending more time in nature, perhaps taking up a nice camping spot near a creek or river. Butterfly imagery is going to be sent to you as a sign from Spirit. Take note of what you were thinking about when you see one as it's a message! Enjoy this time, Cancer! And be at one with Nature for a while, if you can. (Even if it just means buying a new plant for your room!)

Pisces: 10 Of Coins – Success and Abundance are coming your way, Pisces! Are you ready to be financially comfortable and to finally have a leg up financially? Now is the time to start planning for any trips you would want to take as well, as your money is coming in fast. Is there somewhere you wanted to vacation? Or perhaps a local attraction you wanted to attend? Put yourself out there and seize the day, Pisces! The Universe also is saying that you are going to be receiving a lot more material items in your world as well. Some might be deciding to treat themselves to a shopping spree, a spa day, or perhaps you're getting cosmetics done such as a haircut. Whatever that might be for you, allow yourself to do it! Splurge on yourself and let yourself live in some lavishness. You are worth it after all, Pisces.

Scorpio: The Star – Scorpio, you are feeling hopeful that things are aligning the way that they are supposed to! Keep trusting in the Universe as your Manifestations are starting to trickle in. You might start to notice this over the next few weeks just how quick the Law Of Attraction works for you. You're feeling inspired to take care of your home space right now, Scorpio. You might be cleaning house and remaking you nest, so to speak. You're decorating and feeling compelled to bring more comfort into your space. Trust this and keep filling your space with things that bring your soul peace. For other Scorpio's, you're being asked to take Spiritual baths and and nurture yourself more. A few select Scorpio's will be feeling as though things are coming full circle with another individual as well. There might have been someone in the past who didn't want to give you the time of day, but now they're back. It's your call entirely, Scorpio.

FIRE: 9 Of Cups – A wish fulfillment is coming your way, Fire Signs! There is an energy of calm and peacefulness sweeping over all of you, and it will bring clarity. Whatever it is that will emotionally fulfill you, that you've been manifesting for a while now, it will be in your life sooner than you know it. Are you ready for the blessings that are going to be waiting for you? A few might be deciding to pick up a new instrument too, and this is going to widen your imagination. It will make you feel more inspired as well to accomplish your work and make that coin! For other Fire Signs, you are watching romance movies (or rom-coms) and imagining how wonderful it would be for someone to do these things for you. That person is coming! For one Fire Sign in particular, your person plays the guitar and will offer to serenade you. Let them, Fire Signs! And don't be embarrassed or shy away – you deserve a declaration of love worthy of your time!

Sagittarius: Knight Of Swords – You are making ground in your life fast, Sagittarius! You're achieving a lot, and it's really starting to show. People are noticing that you're holding yourself differently. You're feeling proud of all you've done over this Taurus New Moon. For some there is going to be communication coming in with someone that you've been waiting on. This might be someone who travels a lot, or someone who has just been focused on themselves and their own abundance. They have a lot to share with you, and it's going to intrigue you all that this person has to say. For some, this person drives a red or white car. Other Sagittarius are going to be in frequent communication with someone completely new that is entering your life sooner than you know it. This bodes well for those Sagittarius looking for a partner online or on apps! For other's you might be hearing important news in regards to your home life or finances. This is going to bring good fortune and blessings your way.

Leo: King Of Wands – You are feeling yourself, Leo! You're on top of the world, and you're excited about showing your passions to the world. You're feeling that you can take on anything and be successful at it. This is true! Spirit wants you to remember that anything you put your mind to you can accomplish over this Taurus New Moon! Some Leo's are being asked to take break and recuperate. You've been running on fumes for a while now, and Spirit needs you to recharge as your life will be speeding up even more over the next month. It will seem like everyone wants a piece of you, Leo! So get some much needed R&R before you have to get going again! Other Leo's might be deciding to branch out on your own in regards to career. Whether this be a lip gloss business, or a homemade bracelet business, you will do amazing! But remember to go for it! The majority of Leo placements will feel as if they are closing out a chapter of their life and entering a more stable footing. Don't doubt!

Aries: The Devil – Aries, you are going to be in your head a lot over this Taurus New Moon. There's something that you want to be doing, or hoped would come around, that perhaps you feel a bit bound to. For some Aries you might be deciding to start over fresh in your life, and undergo a transformation. Good for you, Aries!! Do it! There's also an energy though of being too hard on yourself, especially while trying to obtain this glow-up, and The Universe wants you to see this as a form of Self-Sabotage. Spirit is also saying, “If being critical about yourself didn't help or work, why not try being your best friend instead?” See how things change when you look at your life from a different perspective. Take a look objectively and know that you aren't as trapped as your Ego is trying to make you think you are. You are being guided by Spirit over this New Moon period to find sanctuary within yourself, and to be content with where you are. Practice yoga breathing as well as this will clear your mind. For those in a toxic relationship, The Universe is telling you not to be scared to release this. After all ; when one door closes, another one opens!

The Best Way To Shave Your Bikini Line Without Getting Ingrowns Everywhere.. Do not avoid shaving cream, whatever you do.

You may be in the camp of letting your hair go au naturel during quarantine, or you might be spending even more time on your beauty and skincare routine right now. But if you're playing it safe and skipping bikini wax appointments at the moment, shaving is likely your go-to for smooth skin.

The only problem is that bumps, ingrown hair, and angry red skin seem like they're just part of the package when it comes to shaving ~down there~. Shaving your bikini area is a lot of work, and can definitely irritate your skin if not done safely, so there are some things you should know before the razor is in your hand.

Wait, is it bad to shave your bikini line?

First of all, removing hair anywhere on your body is completely your decision—don't listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, or feel pressured into shaving, waxing, or using any other hair removal method. If you do choose to shave your bikini line, you may be up against both ingrown hairs and red, itchy bumps.

"Ingrown hairs are formed when the sharp, freshly shaved hairs, puncture and grow into the surrounding skin," explains Ife J. Rodney, MD, FAAD, founding director of Eternal Dermatology + Aesthetics. Then, the skin has a reaction to those hairs and can get red and itchy as a result. You might also experience razor burn after shaving, which is basically when the razor removes the top layer of soft skin, allowing bacteria in to form red bumps on the inflamed skin, says Dr. Rodney.

However, many people (45 percent in this 2016 survey report grooming down below for a vacation, and 55 percent say they've groomed before sex) who remove pubic hair use a razor, which is totally fine for your skin, as long as you are careful. "To prevent rashes and irritation, you should only shave with a clean, sharp razor," Dr. Rodney says. On top of that, if you moisturize and care for the skin before and after you shave, you can avoid annoying razor burn.

Read on for more expert-approved shaving tips before you jump in the shower.

1. Invest in a good bikini razor.

Picking the right razor is the first step to ensuring your bikini line is smooth and bump-free. "If there are more blades, it dispenses more pressure, allowing each blade to cut with less force but more effect," says Dendy Engelman, MD, of Manhattan Dermatology and Cosmetic Surgery in New York City. In other words, you'll get a better, closer shave without risking a cut or irritation.

"Choosing a firm, sturdy razor with soothing strips will make a huge difference," adds Eileen Bischoff, esthetician and hair-removal specialist at Eve Salon in New York City. While throwaways are great for use while traveling and can get the job done, they’re labeled "disposable" for a reason. "They’re not meant to be used for a month," she says.

Or, there's the option of single-blade stainless steel safety razors, which have become popular especially to reduce plastic waste. Believe it or not, they're just as safe as a regular plastic razor for your skin, even your bikini line, says Dr. Rodney. "With only one pass, you remove the hairs completely. There’s less trauma to the skin surface, and the hairs are cut bluntly, decreasing the risk of ingrown hairs," she says.

2. Prep to prevent ingrown hair on your bikini line.

Before shaving your bikini area, spend about 10 minutes in warm water first. This will help soften the outer layer of your skin, making it easier to remove hair (and lessen your chances of getting razor burn), says Fumi Ozaki, an esthetician and electrologist in Redondo Beach, California. "After the 10 minutes is up, pat the skin dry to remove any excess water," she says.

Once your bikini line has been cleaned and dried, Engelman suggests lightly exfoliating with a wet washcloth or a scrub to remove dead skin cells, allowing the blade to get closer to the skin. "It teases out any stubborn ingrown hairs prior to shaving," she says.

3. Don't skip shaving cream.

You might think this shaving accessory is just a feel- and smell-good component to the process, but it’s way more than that. "When you shave, you’re shaving your skin, too," says Bischoff. "If you don’t use enough shaving cream to create enough slip, you’ll lightly abrade your skin, leaving it irritated." Ouch.

And similarly to that quality bikini shaver you're supposed to buy, don't just reach for a random, cheap shaving cream. "Use a good-quality shaving gel with a short list of moisturizing ingredients, like shea butter, olive oil, and coconut oil—these types of bases will give a proper buffer for your razor," says Engelman.

Apply a very thin layer only to the area that needs to be shaved so you can see the skin and hair shaft underneath. "This is much safer, so there’s no need to move the blade back and forth on the skin," says Ozaki.

4. Pay attention to your shaving direction.

People have a lot of opinions about whether you should shave up or down on your bikini line, and the direction you shave does matter. "How you shave can be really, really important, especially for people who are prone to bumps," says Bischoff. Going in a ton of different directions with your razor makes cuts and subsequent ingrown hairs more likely. Shave in one direction—with the hair growth. Going against the grain of your hair makes irritation much more likely.

While gliding your razor gently along the bikini line, keep the blade downward without adding too much pressure. "One pass should be fine, especially if you’re using a razor that has many blades," says Ozaki. "The more blades used, the fewer times you should feel the need to re-shave over this sensitive area."

5. Calm your skin after shaving the bikini area.

Wash off as soon as you put your razor down, and hold a cold compress to the area for 10 minutes to prevent irritation, says Ozaki. Apply an anti-redness serum (preferably fragrance-free) to further reduce your chances of experiencing razor burn. "I recommend tea tree oil, both a natural anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, which can help calm razor burn," says Engelman. "If you’ve really caused some irritation, more intense creams, like topical steroids, can be prescribed to reduce redness, swelling, and pain."

6. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

It’s important to always hydrate and moisturize after shaving. "Apply an unscented, alcohol-free moisturizer to both sides of the bikini line to lock in the moisture and avoid over-drying, which leads to further irritation," says Engelman. Bischoff suggests looking for products containing soothing aloe vera, as well as jojoba oil and vitamin E for hydration.

7. Clean your bikini razor.

After every shave, make sure to sanitize your blades with rubbing alcohol and warm or hot water. If your razor looks rusty and you’ve been using it for a while, toss it out. "Replace old blades—ones you’ve used for more than five to seven shaves," says Engelman.

You can also cut your losses (and avoid those red bumps) by storing blades in a clean, dry place so they don't pick up bacteria sitting around in the shower.

8. If shaving bothers your skin, there are other options.

Shaving might not be the right move for everyone's skin. If you still prefer to be smooth, waxing, either by a professional or with an at-home wax kit, is a safe and gentle choice for your skin, because it removes the hair from the root and doesn't allow bacteria to enter as easily, says Dr. Rodney. "When the hair grows back, the tips are soft, not sharp, and so it's less likely to cause ingrown hairs," she says. Plus, it often takes longer for the hair to grow back than shaving does. For an even longer-term option for sensitive skin, laser hair removal might be for you to avoid the need to shave altogether.

Best hair care fitness find

Best Hair fitness find!!

Since childhood I have had short hair and always thought that people with healthy hair are born with it. While growing up I always admired people with long flowing hair and they could do all sorts of different hair styles and look pretty. Even in high school, I used to be called a tom boy due to my short hair. Whenever I tried to grow my hair, they would grow to be scanty. This discouraged me and I was back to getting a haircut. Now that I am in college, I wanted to again try my luck at growing my hair. I started to do an extensive research on hair and how I could also have my dreamy long hair. While researching I found that they were so many gaps in the important facets that affect hair.

From dietary habits, lifestyle to the right hair care; so many factors affect our hair. I started to take one step at a time to slowly make the right changes to improve my hair health. After only couple of weeks, I could see noticeable changes; this encouraged me to keep going till I get the desired results. Following are some of the steps I took to take my hair growth to next level –

RIGHT NUTRITION: After reading about health foods for hair, I realized that as a vegetarian I was not having the right amount of proteins and fats. These two play a very vital role in improving your hair growth by providing nutrition and balancing the hormones. I started adding seeds, nuts and natural sources of protein to my diet. Not only it helped in amplifying my hair growth but also my skin and energy levels improved.

HAIR OILS: I started following a regimen to maintain my hair fitness. Hair massages being an important part of it. I started applying oil to my hair at least twice a week before hair wash. But what really was game changer for me was finding out the right kind of oils that promote hair growth. As most of us would never pay attention to the kind of hair oil that we apply, our go to would be any well packaged oil on the store shelves. But what I realized after studying about natural oils is that there are many oils that are known for their hair growth potency. Like Avocado oil, jojoba oil, flaxseed oil, sesame oil and many others. I started looking for oils that were combination of such hair growth oils, without any chemical additives. I came across hair care brand Nature Nuskha that has a great hair fitness oil, it has a combination of various all natural oils that stimulate hair growth and prevents hair fall. It contains pea protein extract that improves scalp health and increases hair volume. I have been using this oil for a few months, already I can see that my hair is growing longer and much thicker.

HAIR CLEANSING: It is important to follow a hair hygiene routine to make sure that our scalp is clean and free of any grime. This helps in keeping hair follicles healthy and helps the scalp to absorb the nutrition efficiently. Washing your hair at least twice a week is mandatory. Keeping hair clean also helps in prevention of dandruff and other scalp infections. I have been using natural shampoos to avoid any chemical exposure. This has made my scalp healthier and has banished all the flakiness and dandruff.

HAIR PROTECTION: I discovered that hair needs more protection during the day when we venture out and expose our hair to external factors. I found a great product from Nature Nuskha called Onion hair mist; this product has great benefits of onion extracts. Hair mist also contain pea protein extract required to promote hair growth and bhringraj extract necessary to prevent hair loss. Hair mist is so convenient to use, every time I need to step out, I spritz a little hair mist and evenly spread it through my hair strands. It not only forms a protective layer, but it also conditions the hair. Best part of this product being its not at all greasy and has no strong smell.

Following the healthy hair regimen and using natural products like Nature Nuskha’s 24x7 Hair fitness products has made a drastic change in my hair fitness. Now I can finally enjoy my longer and healthier hair.

How I eliminated hyperpigmentation on my face due to extensive sun exposure

Disclaimer: The content presented here is offered for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as medical advice. You should consult with your physician/care giver regarding your own medical care. I have no financial interest in any of the products or websites that I mention.

In my late 40s from extensive sun exposure I developed large noticeable hyperpigmentation spots on both of my cheeks, below my eyes. After that I read a variety of skin care advice, and found that following approach works well to eliminate those spots and keep my skin looking healthy.

I stopped washing my face with soap, which can change the skin's naturally acidic pH to be more alkaline and strip the skin of its natural protective moisture and fatty acids.

I read of people using natural oils (coconut, grapeseed, hemp, jojoba, olive, etc.) to cleanse their face and in my experience it works quite well. In the morning, I scrub my face with a hot wet wash cloth and coconut oil.

Then I apply a homemade vitamin C saturated solution (as much vitamin C powder that will dissolve in water). Vitamin C can help protect skin from sun exposure, so I apply it on my face in the morning before going outside.

To prevent the hyperpigmentation from returning, when outside during peak sunlight hours for an extended time, I use Walmart Equate sunscreen which was among the top scored by Consumer Reports in their 2018–2019 testing of sunscreen. To minimize my exposure to chemicals, I only apply this to my face. Often I also wear a wide brim hat.

In the evening, I again scrub my face with a hot wet wash cloth and coconut oil. Next I apply several drops of a homemade 24% (wt/wt) salicylic acid solution on my cheeks and leave it on until the next morning. I choose the evening for this since it can make skin sensitive to sun exposure. I find that salicylic acid does briefly sting but works great for eliminating hyperpigmentation. Afterward I apply coconut oil for moisturizing.

To make a 24% (wt/wt) salicylic acid solution, I add 1.5 US teaspoons of salicylic acid powder (packed down and leveled off, about 7.5 g on my Weighmax CT20 milligram scale) into a labeled 1 oz dropper bottle. Next I add 2 US tablespoons of 91% isopropyl alcohol and shake well. I am very careful not to get it on my eyes or lips.

I purchased salicylic acid powder from a reputable seller on a popular auction website. I store this well sealed in a cool dry dark location and expect it should last several years or more.

Honest Thoughts: Silver Falls Sustainability + My Zero-Waste Hair Care Routine

Heads up: I’m super lazy with my hair, so my routine is literally two steps. A.k.a please don’t expect anything exciting or mind-blowing.

(Haha I’m clearly amazing at self-promotion.) 

Thanks to the Instagram algorithm, I came across Silver Falls Sustainability Co. mindlessly scrolling down my feed, and was immediately intrigued by their products. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that not only are their products plastic-free and cruelty-free, but they’re also a small business of “two part time employees, two dogs and a baby.“ (I’m going to assume that the baby and two fur babies are also hard-working, valuable members of the company.) 

(Probably how the pups of SF Sustainable relax after a long day at the office.) 

Packaging

My products arrived in a cardboard package with a sweet note from the company.  Each bar arrives wrapped in white tissue paper, which you can easily recycle. 

“Yuna, 

Thank you for your order! Together we can create a zero waste world! -SFSC”

(So sweet!)

1) Shampoo

The company currently has 4 different scent options, and one unscented bar, which cost $8.20 per bar. Price-wise, I think these bars are pretty comparable to conventional, bottle shampoo, which make them a great affordable zero-waste option! 

I start with the “Wallowa Wilds” shampoo bar. It’s a beautifully, woodsy-scented bar featuring cedar, sage, and tea tree oils. To use, I lather it up like I would any other bar of soap, then directly massage it into my scalp. It actually creates quite a good amount of lather and rinses out well! I also love how I can actually feel my hair get cleaner without that “stripped entirely of its natural oils” feeling like I do with conventional hair products. 

Ingredients list according to their website:  Wallowa Wilds: Organic Cocos Nucifera, (Coconut) Oil, Organic Olea Europaea, (Olive) Fruit Oil, Sodium Hydroxide, Organic Ricinus Communis (Castor) Seed Oil, Organic Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Organic Cocoa Butter, Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil, Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Proprietary Essential Oil Blend, Vitamin E, Chlorella, Organic Aloe Vera Powder * No Sodium Hydroxide (Lye) in finished product.

2) Conditioner

Next, I take this conditioner bar and literally run it through the ends of my hair several times, making sure that it’s coated as much as possible. After leaving it in for a few minutes (don’t worry, I wash my face and body during this time to make sure I don’t waste water), I rinse it out. This product also rinses out very nicely, and despite the fact that I literally rub it directly onto my hair, it never leaves chunks of conditioner bar behind.

Ingredients list according to their website: Btms 50, Shea Butter, Cetyl Alcohol, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil

Would I recommend these bars? 

These two bars do their job so damn well. On their website, they state that some people may need a transition period from conventional hair products to these more natural products, but I actually really enjoyed using these products from Day 1. The only small bump I had was that my hair felt slightly oilier than usual after the first two uses, but by the third time my hair had already adjusted nicely. I’ve actually received compliments lately from my friends and peers noticing that my hair looks “so shiny” and “healthy,” which I never heard before. 

I actually do that thing I shouldn’t do where I wash my hair every day (I know, I shouldn’t!), plus I have coarse, dry, Asian hair that’s actually quite wavy, so I need hair products that’ll actually moisturize with both the shampooing and conditioning steps. I’m so happy that these bars do exactly that, and will definitely continue to use these bars for my hair routine! 

(An accurate representation of post-shower me.)

SF Sustainability Co. also includes a free cedar soap dish if you buy 3 of their shampoo or conditioner bars, which is a thoughtful touch they added to show that they really value and appreciate each customer! 

(Bonus: it’s made from cedar mill scraps!)

Rating: 10/10 

In addition to their shampoo and conditioner bars, Silver Falls Sustainability Co. carries a wide range of other products, including lotions, lip balms, and insect repellent. Check out their shop here!

Hair care and/or chemistry peeps!

I started using jojoba oil (and sometimes coconut oil) for deep leave-in treatments on my hair a year or so ago, and they are great. I understand a lot of people also use oils like this as spray-in dry oils for in-between days or when hair is looking a bit dry. I can put a teensy bit on my fingers and just try to comb it in, but I thought a spray/mist might be better.

I bought a spray bottle and I’ve tried putting some jojoba oil in (as it is lighter and always liquid), but it comes out too heavily still and made the area I tested too greasy. As I expected, the suggestion of ‘fill the rest of the bottle with water and just shake it a lot’ did not work - I ended up with a frothy layer of oil on top of the water. I also tried putting a bit of conditioner in, hoping it would act as an emulsifier, but it did not. 

Do I actually need to buy some kind of chemical emulsifier to dilute jojoba oil (in which case I’ll probably just keep trying to find a premade oil/serum, because I’m not starting my own cosmetics industry)? Or is there another way to do it? Google just keeps giving me advice on how to dilute essential oils with jojoba, which is not what I’m after.

10 Simple Things You Can Do Right Now to Stop Wrinkles

The skin has two primary layers: an outer layer (epidermis) and an inner layer (dermis). Wrinkles don’t happen on the surface – they actually form in the dermis, which is comprised primarily of proteins, like collagen. Aging naturally leads to a decrease in collagen proteins, which is what keeps the skin smooth, soft, and supple. Losing collagen leads to sagging and wrinkles.

We can speed the process of this saggy process if we spend too much time in the sun, especially without proper sunscreen protection, spend much of our time dehydrated, don’t eat well, and have poor sleep habits. Additionally, smoking, drinking, and stress can all equally harm the skin’s appearance.

10 Things to Stop Wrinkles Right Now

Luckily, there are simple ways to prevent wrinkles that you can incorporate into your life right now. Below, here are our top 10 ways to naturally stop wrinkles in their tracks and to boost overall skin health.

1. Eat Omega-3 Fats

Healthy fats like omega-3s, which are found in foods like salmon and walnuts, keep the skin supple because they help retain moisture in the skin’s cells. This naturally decreases wrinkles, since the fuller the skin is of moisture, the less room it has to wrinkle. Omega-3 fats are so healthy for skin that they’re even used to address skin problems, like atopic dermatitis and others. (1)

2. Eat Collagen

As mentioned above, the dermis is primarily made of collagen protein, which we lose as we age. The good news is that collagen is readily available from dietary and supplement sources, and adding it to a regular routine can help to replace the losses that occur from aging. You can get collagen from foods like bone broth and free-range, organic meat, but you can also get it in powder form to add to foods and drinks like coffee, smoothies, and more. As a bonus, collagen does way more than just support healthy skin. It’s also helpful for restoring and maintaining gut health, which is vital for overall healthy aging. (2)

3. Moisturize

Skin absorbs nutrients like the digestive tract does, so feeding it real food is a game changer. Oils like coconut, argan, avocado, sesame, almond, and jojoba are all excellent moisturizers and offer different levels of moisturizing depending on your skin’s level of dryness. Vitamin E oil is also another topical product you can use; it’s rich in antioxidants and can be especially moisturizing for facial skin. (3)

Just like the skin absorbs nutrients, it also needs hydration, just like the rest of the body. (4) Dry skin leads to wrinkles because the top layers of skin cells shrivel the plump cells beneath the surface, resulting in fine lines and dry, dull skin. (5)

There are natural products which can serve as natural moisturizers, so you can skip the expensive creams that make promises of reducing wrinkles. Instead, opt for skin food like the oils mentioned above. Moisturize a few times a day, at least in the morning and before bed. Remember that moisturizing the surface of your skin is like drinking water for the rest of your tissues; you can’t just do it once in the day and be done.

If you want to take it up a notch, start using homemade face masks, which can be as simple as mashed banana and coconut oil. Mash one banana with a teaspoon of melted coconut oil, apply to your face, and leave on for 10 to 20 minutes. Remove with a warm washcloth, rinse with water, and then moisturize.

4. Use a Silk Pillow

If we get the sleep we’re supposed to, we literally spend one-third of our existence in bed, asleep. How we spend that time can affect the way that our wrinkles develop. Your pillow could even be leading to the development of new wrinkles, especially if it’s coarse or lumpy. Sleep wrinkles can develop along the “crow’s feet” lines of the eyes because of the way the skin folds in response to the surface of the pillow. (6)

By swapping your pillow for a silk or satin pillowcase as well as an ultra-soft pillow (think: feather), we can change the way that our skin lies while we’re fast asleep.

5. Get Quality Sleep

Speaking of sleep, you need to make sure you’re getting enough of it! A lack of sleep and perpetual tiredness can quickly increase wrinkles and fine lines, even just making us look older in other ways (bags under eyes, dark circles, etc.). (7) How much sleep you need might vary slightly, but most adults need seven to nine hours. If you’re skimping on sleep or struggle with insomnia, you’re going to age faster than if you were well-rested.

If wrinkles are a concern, prioritizing your sleep issues and finding some solutions can be an important way to improve your health overall.

While you’re at it, make sure you’re sleeping on your back. Sleeping on your side can lead to more wrinkle formation because – you guessed it – gravity pulls your face down, even slightly. When you consider how many hours you could be lying like that, it adds up to a lot of time spent with your skin being tugged down.

6. Use Sunscreen Daily

Protecting your skin from the sun is one of the best ways to prevent signs of premature aging on your skin. In fact, UV radiation exposure is one of the primary ways to develop wrinkles and other signs of aging. (8)

Thankfully, in the modern market, there are many sunscreen options, including some that are organic and made for sensitive skin (without fragrance, for example), yet still get the job done. There are many great products out there, but I personally love Sun Bum, which I use on myself and my kids.

7. Keep Hydrated

Our skin needs hydration to remain plump and firm. When we get dehydrated, we not only get thirsty, but our skin cells also lose water and can lose volume, increasing the chances of developing wrinkles and losing skin vitality. (9)

Hydration is a necessary part of health. Without enough water, the cells cannot transport nutrients in the bloodstream, including oxygen and antioxidants. A lack of antioxidants is one of the main factors associated with aging of the skin. (10)

While the actual amount of water you need each day can differ from someone else, a good baseline is 64 ounces, but gauge your own personal level of hydration by the color of your urine. Yes, that’s right: If your urine is pale and almost clear, that probably means you’re getting the fluids that you need. If it’s darker yellow or even amber, you’re low on fluids and need to bump it up.

8. Wash Your Face (but Not Too Much)

Sleeping in your makeup is a fast-fast-track to fine lines and wrinkles (think about all the chemicals and preservatives in foundation, blush, etc.) However, washing your face too much can also lead to wrinkles because it can dry the skin out – especially if you’re using harsh cleansers or soaps.

Washing your face first thing in the morning before moisturizing and apply makeup is a great way to start the day, as well as removing makeup at the day’s end and moisturizing before bed. You don’t need a complicated and lengthy skincare routine to reap the benefits of clean skin.

9. Eat Antioxidants

Most people think of vitamin C as the nutrient you take to avoid the flu, but the health benefits it offers come from the fact that it’s a potent antioxidant. Eating more vitamin C-rich foods can help with healthy, plump skin – and remember, the more plump and hydrated the skin cells are, the fewer wrinkles there will be. Vitamin C works to prevent wrinkles because it is rich in antioxidants, which combat oxidative stress, one of the factors associated with an aging appearance. (11) Vitamin C is found abundantly in fruits and vegetables, especially citrus, bell peppers, broccoli, and all types of berries.

10. Manage Stress

Stress of any kind can play a role in altering the skin’s barrier function, which can result in oxidative damage and skin disorders like atopic dermatitis. (12, 13) Stress can be tied to specific events, but it can also be tied to lifestyle.

If you’re under a lot of stress, start using some lifestyle modifications to help provide some relief. For some, this might be deep breathing or meditation, but for others, it could be yoga, journaling, therapy, dance, music, art, or anything else that brings you joy. Also be more conscious of the expression on your face, as repetitive expressions can induce wrinkles at a younger age. (14)

PixiBeauty Ultimate Rose-infused Skintreats

Before anything else, I’d like to thank PixiBeauty for including me in their PR list and for always sending me amazing packages. These past few months has been an amazing experience for me, trying out different products from this brand and I am just so grateful. 

This time, they sent me some Skin treats and it’s their Rose-infused products. Let me tell you something, I love flowers especially roses. So when I opened this package, I was overjoyed and I was filled with excitement. The packaging are gorgeous and they all smell like roses! The bag was a bonus too! So perfect for traveling. Now let’s get started!

Here are the steps and my thoughts on these products : 

1. Remove your makeup using the : Makeup Melting Cleansing Cloths. These cloths has Chamomile and Rose ingredients and those ingredients are very good on calming the redness on our skin. 

2. Cleanse your skin using the : Rose Cream Cleanser. I love using this one. It’s a gentle cleanser and my face feels so smooth and moisturized after using it. I usually use a gel cleanser but I find myself reaching for this more lately. It’s nice to use it during dry weather. 

3. Tone : Rose Tonic. I am usually a Glow Tonic gal but the Rose tonic is also a good option when you’re having breakouts and redness on your skin. It hydrates and neutralizes the skin and also nourishing it. The only complain I have on this is my skin feels a little tacky after applying it but it goes away after a few minutes. 

4. Hydrate your skin using the : Rose Caviar Essence. This is probably the prettiest visually in this package. I love how it looks like it has rose petals inside and the pink and red color makes it even more gorgeous. It’s a weightless serum essence that melts into the skin and will give you hydration and will restore brightness to your skin. 

5. Boost your skin using the : Rose Flash Balm. I find this fascinating because it’s a multi purpose skin care product. It can be use as a primer or use it as a mask. I haven’t tried this as a primer yet but it works great as a mask. My skin feels rejuvenated after using this. 

6. Moisturize your skin using the : Rose Ceramide Cream. This is some serious moisturizer in here. Pixi wasn’t kidding when they said that this will deeply hydrate your skin. It’s so moisturizing that’s why I only use this every other day. A little goes a long way and trust me, your skin will totally love this especially during cold season. 

7. Nourish your skin using the : Rose Oil Blend. I used to not believe on using oil or serum on my skin because I have a combination skin type and I tend to oil a lot on my t-zone area. However, I have learned that the right oil will help our skin to be more healthy and young looking. This in particular is extra nourishing for our skin because of it’s ingredients : Sweet almond, rosehip, jojoba, pomegranate seed, and rose geranium oils. I will definitely keep using this. 

8. Set your makeup using the : Makeup Fixing Mist. I have used this setting spray multiple times as my last step on my makeup routine and it definitely sets my makeup good. My makeup held on pretty well thanks to this Fixing Mist. 

9. Glow up using the : Rose Glow Mist. I love using this every morning when I’m going out for a walk. It really gives me that natural glow that I love and this mist is packed with  essential fatty acids and antioxidants. It moisturizes the skin and improve elasticity so bye bye wrinkles and saggy skin. 

I have a sensitive, combination skin type and I am always skeptical on trying out new skin care products because of that. Thankfully, all PixiBeauty skin care products that I have tried are so gentle to my sensitive skin and they are all effective and has great benefits. These are my honest opinions and everything that I share with you guys are based on what I experienced upon using these products. I would totally recommend getting these since they are all wonderful.

I've just stumbled upon your tumblr and aside from the great screenshots and awesome Sims cc I simply love your nails. I've read your post about how you file and shape your nails. I was wondering how often you change your nail polish and what kind of nail polish remover you are using. Would you make a post about your nail care routine (if you have one) please? :3 Every time I use nail polish it flakes after two days and my nails splinter after using nail polish remover.

Hi anon, thank you for the sweet words

I think I’ve made the odd nail care post here and there, but there’s always more to cover!

I change my polish roughly once a week. I’m being a bit lazy at the moment because I have loads of work on and not a lot of time, and am choosing polishes that can go right over my last one without removing it. I just did that yesterday, actually. I was wearing some silver holo along with a shocking fuchsia pink, and I covered it all up with a burnt orange magnetic polish that only needed one coat to cover it up. (I’ll eventually get pictures of it all sorted out.)

But this is just because I’m busy and lazy at the moment. Usually I take it all off once a week, and I use Zoya’s Remove+ - I buy a biiiiiiiig bottle that I can refill one of those nice pump bottles with. I do also have neat acetone, but I just use it to clean up all my terrible mistakes. Anything with acetone will be really drying, so definitely look for non-acetone removers.

I like to take my polish off the night before I’m going to paint them again. I take the polish off using cotton wool, and I clip it to my fingers using these little clips (mine are blue). I let it sit for about five minutes, and usually the polish just slides off. I have lots of layers of polish on there, with base coats and colour and top coats, so it needs a bit of time to sit, otherwise I’d be scrubbing a lot and I don’t want to do that. More stubborn polishes require longer, especially anything with glitter.

Once the polish is off I tend to use Orly’s Cutique to get rid of any staining if there is any, and to remove any dead cuticle skin. Then I wash my hands using Dr Bronner’s soap, because it removes all the oils that might stick to the nail bed and make polish not stick as well.

Then I put on a coat or two of whichever Nailtiques formula I’m using. I have formula 1 and 2, and currently I’m alternating between them. It dries very fast. Then I moisturise my cuticles a ton.

When it’s time to choose a new colour the next day, I wash my hands again with Dr Bronner’s to get rid of those oils. If I think it needs it, I’ll add another coat of whatever base coat I fancy, but sometimes the Nailtiques is enough. Then it’s however many coats of colour I need. And once that’s dry I use a top coat. Usually it’s the one from Glisten & Glow, but if I have a more textured polish on I’ll use Plush by Superchic, which is super thick and helps even everything out, but I go over with the Glisten & Glow afterwards because it’s super shiny and dries everything down really fast. I have Superchic’s Marvel Liquid Macro top coat on order because lots of people seem to rave about it.

Once I’m all done it’s moisturise moisturise moisturise again. And then I try to remember to do that as frequently as possible to keep my cuticles from getting all dry and ragged. Pretty much anything will do, anything oily. Jojoba is good because it soaks in nicely, and mixed with Vit E it makes a good cuticle oil. I like CND’s Cuticle Eraser cream too, as well as Lush’s Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter.

The shape of my nails helps a lot in terms of my polish lasting longer. But a good base and top coat is half the battle. In my opinion, the top coat is the most important of those, because I’ve seen no difference between using base coats that are marketed specifically to help bond polish, and the Nailtiques formula treatments which aren’t. One crucial thing is to wrap your tips/free edge. What that means is that when you’re applying the polish (base, colour and top) run the brush along the sides of the free edges of your nails, so it’s basically wrapping the nail over and under with polish. That helps it last longer than it ordinarily would.

I hope some of that is helpful, anon. Do let me know if you have any other questions! I’ve just spent more money than I should have on some new autumn polishes by ILNP. Nailstagram (nail polish Instagram, lol) once asked what brand would people choose if they could buy every single polish from them, and I said ILNP. I have more polishes from some other brands, but I have more ILNP on my wishlist than anything else. They’re wonderful quality, and they have loads of what I call transformative polishes -- that is those you can add over the top of others to change the look. If I ever win the lottery, I’ll be making an ILNP haul one of the first things I do!

Last week just wasn’t my week for anything. Work suddenly piled up with deadlines fast approaching, traffic going home was always crap, the sun now sets at 5 fucking 30, and I can’t feel my own lungs because California is on fire again. To make matters even better, my hair fucking dried up too fast, and I overmoisturized in attempting to save it. I left it in a braid for about 3 days cause I just had it, officially.

Is some planet in retrograde which is throwing everything wack or is adulthood finally sinking in? Maybe a bit of both…

But nothing is better to end the week than pay day when you don’t feel too guilty about splurging a little money on materialistic stuff. And what seemed right to throw my hard-earned money at? Lush.

Ever since I began my curly hair journey, I was always curious about Lush’s hair products. I absolutely adore their bath bombs, bubble bars, and shower gels, and their facial cleansers and masks saved my darling skin on many occasions. But I was always hesitant to throw down so much money for their hair products.

I didn’t see a large variety of YouTube reviews from other curly haired folks, much less any which address that most of Lush’s hair products contain sulfates. Sulfates are usually a big no-no for curls as they’re too powerful to already naturally dry hair and scalps. However, they aren’t necessarily the worst thing for your hair. A little bit is okay once in a while if you have a super oily scalp or struggle with product build up. If you still use sulfates, you have to also balance it out with other more-natural products if you want to avoid stripping too much sebum (also if you dye your hair, sulfates are making your color fade faster). While your standard shampoo has liquid sulfates, Lush’s sulfates are powder-based which is less harsh. And because they pack in so many other fresh, natural ingredients into their products, it balances out the otherwise powerful chemicals.

It kinda sucks that even a great company like Lush isn’t exempt from the “check the ingredients” rule, but if you’re ever second guessing on anything, just ask the employees. I made multiple trips for bath bomb restocking and took some extra time to study the hair care and hopefully attract someone’s attention to talk more about the products. I talked to four different employees at the same store, and they all pretty much said the same thing regarding the ingredients (most of the last paragraph is verbatim), and I had no reason to not trust them. I never met a dishonest Lush employee in my life, and they definitely know their shit to make sure you get enough bang for your buck.

So today, along with my hair mask of the week, I’m showing an altered hair routine with some Lush hair products. I won’t do a fully altered routine because that would be far too expensive, and I still feel iffy about a few things, but we’ll get to that when we do.

Don’t let the smell fool you. It is DEFINITELY not toothpaste.

First up, is the Yuge Hot Oil Treatment. This is a pre-shower treatment using heated oils to stimulate blood flow to the scalp which also stimulates hair growth while delivering some much needed moisture. It contains agave syrup, sea salt, jojoba oil, olive oil, spearmint oil, peppermint powder, aaaaaand sodium lauryl sulfate. Yeah, it’s kinda weird that this would have sulfates since it works more like a conditioner, but that’s just how Lush hair products work for some reason.

Despite that, there were no suds whatsoever, and it was super refreshing on my scalp and hair. And it was absolutely fantastic at detangling and moisturizing the dry ends. However, I overestimated how much water I needed to melt the treatment, so the consistency was more water-y than creamy. Also I used hot water right out of a kettle, so it took like 30 minutes to cool down. It still worked wonderfully, but I definitely needed to pay better attention to the instructions.

After leaving in Yuge for 20 minutes, I rinsed it out and shampooed with the Jason and the Argan Oil shampoo bar. As the name suggests, all the ingredients of your typical shampoo are concentrated into a bar without any wasteful packaging, and it lasts anywhere from 60 to 80 washes. It contains argan oil, rose absolute, geranium oil, rose oil, lemon oil, and, you guess it, sodium lauryl sulfate.

Unlike Yuge, the sulfates are far more noticeable in the shampoo bars, and once I rinsed it out, my hair was definitely super squeaky. Thankfully, my hair wasn’t too dried out after air-drying, so again, it’s all a matter of balance and knowing how your hair reacts to certain products. And the smell is absolutely amaze-balls. Rose is one of Lush’s best scents in anything— I happily threw down for the biggest bottle of Rose Jam shower gel once it became a year-round thing—, so I just couldn’t pass up on this shampoo bar. I also have a sample of Godiva which is also supposed to be good for curly hair, so it’ll be fun to compare the results.

Since the hot oil treatment did a hell of a job in detangling, and I was worried about accidentally over-moisturizing again, I skipped my regular conditioner and went straight for the deep condition with a non-Lush product: Love Beauty and Planet’s Blooming Strength and Shine 2 Minute Magic Masque. Given that Lush is all about reducing waste and using the freshest and most natural ingredients, it felt appropriate to use a hair mask from another company with similar values (also I was already breaking the bank with my Lush run and couldn’t bring myself to buy their masks).

Doesn’t it look so damn CUTE?

Love Beauty and Planet is all about making consumers look good while doing good for the environment. All their bottles are 100% recyclable, and they’re committed to reducing their carbon footprint by using sustainable ingredients. They still have a way to go, particularly since their shampoos still contain sulfates, but it’s super cool to see a company commit to sustainability while delivering reasonably priced products in the cutest packaging.

In any case, this is the brand’s only mask which contains rose extract, coconut oil, murumuru butter and sunflower seed oil. I was worried with the small packaging that it wouldn’t be enough to coat my hair, but it was suprisingly just the perfect amount for a mask. I didn’t have too many tangles left after Yuge, so the mask just melted right through. The smell is a little perfume-y at first, but after a while, the rose scent is quite pleasant. And it has the rich, buttery consistency I love in a mask.

I accidentally left it in for almost an hour (cause that just happens when 3 people share one bathroom). There really is no reason to leave a mask in for more than 30 minutes since after a while, the product just sits on your head doing nothing. Thankfully, it didn’t weigh down my hair, and the mask was easy to rinse out once I finally stepped back into the shower.

So good, I threw down $50 for the larger size

For my leave-in conditioner, I used Lush’s R&B Hair Moisturizer. It contains oat milk, avocado butter, olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil, orange flower absolute, jasmine absolute, and cupuacu butter. I actually used this before as this is my sister’s favorite hair moisturizer, but it’s been a while since she got any since her haircut a couple years ago. Even though it’s expensive as hell, I don’t mind using it daily as it’s one of the few leave-ins I tried which doesn’t weigh down my hair.

Like most Lush products, a little goes a very long way, and R&B is incredibly thick. I only need maybe a quarter-sized amount on my fingertips to refresh my hair for the day. Jasmine is another one of Lush’s great scents I just can’t get enough of, and it’s wonderful to catch the scent when I turn my head. If you have the spare money to treat yourself on any moisturizer, let it be this one, regardless if you have curls. Your hair will thank you.

I forgot to take a before picture, but I guarantee I looked like a greaseball who needed fucking Moses himself to deliver my hair to salvation. But you can still see the after of my altered routine with a mix of Lush products!

I noticed most of Lush’s hair care are heavily focused in moisture, so it made my hair really soft. Thankfully, some Curls Blueberry Bliss gel was enough to hold the new curls in place. There’s definitely more frizz than usual since I skipped my regular conditioner, and it increased over the next couple days. But the R&B moisturizer is perfect on a daily use to refresh and bring my curls back to life without too much buildup.

Aside from R&B, I won’t use Lush products every wash day since it’s more sulfates than I’m used to, and it’s super expensive. Thankfully, these do last a while, so I don’t mind using them whenever my hair feels super oily. And despite the sulfates, they don’t make my hair feel as dried out as I expected. If you’re ever curious on Lush hair care and have the money to spare, I totally recommend hitting up the closest store and chatting with the employees to get an idea of what will work best for you. Just remember that a little goes a long way and pay extra attention to the instruction videos on their YouTube channel to achieve the best results, and it’ll definitely be worth the money.

Lush Hair Care Review: Worth the Hype? Last week just wasn't my week for anything. Work suddenly piled up with deadlines fast approaching, traffic going home was always crap, the sun now sets at 5 fucking 30, and I can't feel my own lungs because California is on fire again.
