How many females are slaves to their hair? I used to be, but for the past six years, I only shampoo and condition my hair every three days. This promotes my hair color to last longer, less heat damage to my hair/via the hair dryer, which means LESS work, time, energy & money! An EXTRA bonus is your beauty products last even longer! When I need to dash out the door with no time to spare, I opt for natural bouncy, curly locks, instead of smoothing my hair with a flat iron. It not only saves time, it provides a much softer appearance!
Makeup: If I'm planning on staying home, NO makeup; only lip balm or gloss. To keep my makeup to a minimum on days I'm rushed, I quickly apply one "eye brightening" shade of eyeshadow, a few coats of black mascara only on the top lashes and I skip eyeliner. This little makeup trick creates the appearance of larger eyes and is excellent for smaller eye shapes. If I'm planning on working, going out or to an appointment, I do apply makeup, but it could be the bare minimal to a full makeover, depending on exactly where I'm headed! For a wedding or Girls Night Out, I go all out! :)
Hands & Feet: My toenails are ALWAYS painted.....it's just one of those things I do, but my fingernails are rarely painted.....too much time, too much work & my hands are in water so often it causes frequent chipping. What I prefer is a basic manicure with a strengthening base coat and a shiny top coat. Hydrating hand creme is essential and I love the brand Kiss My Face in the yummy flavor peaches & creme!
Teeth: Brushing & flossing my teeth is probably the #1 essential routine that I practice consistently. I have the stain-fighting Go Smile Touch Up ampoules to whiten & brighten my teeth. The tiny ampoules are convenient for a smile-on-the-go and they are mint-licious!
Skin Care: If there's one area, which I refuse to skimp, it's most definitely skin care. We are only young once so we better make the most of it, while we have it! Therefore, I always cleanse my face twice; once in the morning & once in the evening. Then I apply my favorite eye cream, moisturizer and skin primer for a flawless complexion. At least 1-2 per week, I use a facial scrub to exfoliate and remove dead dry skin.
Adult Acne/Blemishes: For annoying monthly blemishes, I apply Proactive Face Mask ONLY to the blemished spots and I leave it on for the entire night. The following morning, when I cleanse my skin, I gently remove the Proactive Face Mask. Usually, it takes 2-3 consistent applications before the blemish heals. The secret ingredient is sulfur & it works great even on the most stubborn acne!
Beauty regimes do NOT have to be time-consuming, confusing or cost a fortune. It's just a matter of determining what works well for you, your lifestyle and putting it into practice! When it comes to looking and feeling great, LESS is best!
