Hair care for this summer!

Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog!

So we all hate summers. It's so hot and we tend to sweat a lot and excess sweat on the scalp causes hair-fall and other hair problems. So, today i am going to share with you guys some ways on how to take of your hair in the summers.

So the first thing is a hair oil which can be used before washing your hair. Peppermint oil is great and gives a nice tingling sensation on the scalp which feels so good. You can mix few drops of this oil to olive oil or coconut oil or any oil that you use and massage your scalp and take it down to your hair. Leave this for 1 hour or over-night if  you can,  and wash off in the morning.



Use a shampoo which has menthol or any kind of cooling agents in it. I personally feel that.  "Head and Shoulders cool Menthol" works best. It feels like ice cubes being rubbed on your scalp. You can also you" Clear Menthol" or any other shampoo which gives the same kind of effect. These kind of shampoos give a nice fresh feeling to the scalp and do a decent job of cleansing.


Reduce the amount of conditioner that you use each time you shampoo and don't take it above the mid lengths of your hair. This stuff can get a bit oily and sticky in the long run. So use it in less amounts. This way you are conditioning your hair and also at the same not making it too oily.

Use baby powder if you have a very oily scalp. Use very little amount or you will end up making it look like dandruff. So use very very little amount. If you have normal to oily scalp then you can completely skip this step.


Try to wash your hair every other day or at least every two days because we are going to be sweating a lot and all that sweat on your scalp will get dry but the bacteria remains in its place and you will sweat again and all this happens again and the longer you keep that on your head, the more your hair will fall. So try to wash it as frequently as you can but not everyday.


Use dry shampoo. They absorb all the oil and greasiness from you hair and makes it feel dry. You can use a bit of shine spray or non sticky serum to add a bit of shine, but i personally feel that dry looking hair(non-shiny. Not dry brittle) looks quite sexy in the summers.


Get regular trims, as your hair is prone to damage and split ends due to the heat. So its important to go for trimming as frequently as possible. I would suggest to get it trimmed every 20-25 days. You don't have to go for crazy amounts. Just trimming the tiniest bit of your hair is suggested.


Summer also calls for frizzy hair so use a bit of serum on the areas that you want to combat the frizziness and leave the rest of the hair bare. Use a heat protectant mist or a hair sunscreen if you don't use heat tools. The heat from the sun is more than enough to damage your hair.


Okay, so this was like a quick tips kinda post! I hope you found it helpful. If you did then please do share it on Facebook, twitter and g+

I will see you guys soon!
Until then, i hope you are all doing well!

How to layer skin care products: Night time routine.

Hi Everyone! Welcome to my blog!

so, bed time is the time when our body and skin get healed, repaired and rejuvenated. So it is important to maintain a healthy and good skin care regime during the night. So, today, i am going to share my views on how to layer your skin products during the night time. do your night time routine at least 30 mins before going to bed, to let the products you apply absorb into the skin, or you will end up sticking everything to your pillow.
     

Makeup Remover

 SO the first thing you are gonna do is remove all your makeup. You have been wearing makeup all day long, and all the sebum and dirt get stuck to it by the end of the day, so its now time to remove it all. I already made a post on how to easily remove everyday makeup. i will leave the links down below. check it out, or just use the makeup remover that you are used to.

Cleanser

 After removing your makeup, cleanse your face using a mild face wash. No matter what brand, your makeup remover cannot remove 100% makeup, so its important to cleanse your face. Apply a pea sized amount, work lather in circular motions, Rinse off. Pat dry.

Toner

 Use a toner to remove any leftover makeup or the cleanser residue. A toner is very gentle and will close your pores tight and soothe your skin making it feel fresh.

Treatment

 Next it is time to use a treatment. If you have acne prone skin, hyper pigmentation or any other skin problems, use a cream  based ointment and save the gel based ones for the day time.
Use them only if they are  prescribed by your dermatologist/doctor. You want the treatment to get absorbed first, and work it's magic before applying anything else. Always consult your doctor before you use any medical treatments on your skin.  If you have flawless skin, then you can skip this step.

Eye Cream

 Then use an under eye cream. Use ring finger to gently apply it and the dab it and then go in outward motion to spread it.

Serum

 Use a serum before using a moisturizer because these seem to be thinner than the moisturizer and they will absorb way faster than a moisturizer. There are different kinds of serums in the market. For brightening, anti-ageing, pigmentation, acne scaring, smoothing, etc.  SO use one that you require and suits your skin.

Moisturizer

 It's time for moisturizer. It is important to use one. It will help make your skin soft and keep it hydrated. Even if you have oily skin, you must use one. Use an oil-free one or a water based one. You might wanna change the consistency depending on the climatic conditions of the area that you live in.

Lip balm

 Finally use a lip balm or Vaseline petroleum jelly. Apply with your ring finger and gently dab.

Apply the leftover lip balm or Vaseline over you upper lash line and lashes to promote lash growth in the long run. Doing so will definitely make your lashes stronger and less prone to breakage.

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

Your bed time is the time where your skin repairs, heals and rejuvenates. So, it is important to follow a strict routine at night. No matter how tired you are, you must follow a routine strictly. Never ever sleep with makeup. By doing so, you are yourself inviting skin problems to you.

So. take care of yourself and your skin.
