Prepare Your Skin For Spring

 

After a long winter, skin can be left feeling and looking dry, scaly and dull. Low humidity, hot baths and showers, and dry indoor air can leave skin feeling itchy and rough. When you're wearing plenty of layers, it's easy to ignore dry skin; once spring arrives, though, it's time to revive your dull, dry skin. With a few simple steps and skin care products, your skin can look silky- smooth and glowing for spring. 

 

EXFOLIATE!

To bring the glow back, you need to scrub off the old layers of dry, scaly skin. You can do this easily and inexpensively by making your own body and face scrub from ingredients you have at home.

• For your body, mix a small amount of granulated sugar or sea salt into half a cup of your favorite body wash and gently rub all over your skin. The roughness of the sugar or salt exfoliates dry skin off your body and leaves it feeling smooth again.
• For your face, mix a teaspoon of  sugar into a small amount of your usual face wash and gently scrub your face.

Using these two to three times a week will give your body and face a healthy glow.

 

Take Cooler Showers

Hot water is one of the worst offenders to your skin, so be sure to take warm showers instead of hot ones. Right after showering, gently pat skin dry with a fluffy towel and immediately moisturize all over.  Applying a cram or lotion while your skin is still damp will help lock in moisture.  A cream with shea butter is the perfect choice for soothing your skin and leaving it feeling soft and silky. It absorbs deep down into the layers of your skin and holds in the moisture, giving a healthy glow back to your skin.

                                       Smooth Your Hands And Feet

Winter seems to damage the skin on hands and feet the most, but you can smooth away dry skin and pump up the moisture easily. Nighttime is the best time to treat these hard-to-smooth areas. First, exfoliate to remove dry skin. Next, smooth vaseline or a thick cream liberally over your feet and hands. Then, put on socks and gloves to wear overnight. You'll be surprised at how smooth and soft your hands and feet feel after only one treatment.

                       Don't Forget Your Dry, Chapped Lips

Your lips are affected by the harsh winter air just as your skin is, so don't forget to treat them right. Exfoliate dry skin from your lips by rubbing them with a little bit of granulated sugar. Afterward, smooth lips with a layer of petroleum jelly or an intensive-care lip balm. Be sure to moisturize throughout the day so your lips stay smooth.

                               Give Yourself Some Color

Go get a spray tan use your favorite at home tanning lotion.  You'll get a nice healthy glow and feel more apt to show off your skin.  For a more gradual option mix a little bit of your tanning lotion with your body moisturizer and apply each morning.  That way you will ease into a nice golden glow.



Try all of these tips and you will be ready in no time to unveil your skin for spring!

 

Eyebrow Threading

You only have one chance to make a first impression and nowhere is that more important than in management of facial hair. Eyebrow threading leaves you with precise, manicured eyebrows without the redness, irritation and skin discoloration. It can be used on the upper lip and sideburns as well.

What Is Eyebrow Threading?

Threading is a hair removal technique that uses 100% cotton thread. The cotton thread is twisted and rolled along the surface of the skin entwining the hairs in the thread, which are then lifted quickly from the follicle. It is more precise than waxing and allows for better lines.  Eyebrow threading can be used to eliminate unwanted hair, raise the arch of the eyebrow, or add shape and definition to the brow. Because it removes hair by the follicle, it is a reasonably long lasting hair removal technique as well. For women who would like to pursue a more natural beauty regimen, eyebrow threading is a good choice, since it does not use harmful products .

Benefits of Eyebrow Threading

• Threading works by removing the hair at the root. Because it does not involve the abrasion and irritation that wax may cause, the discomfort is usually momentary and the prolonged redness that is always seen with waxing does not occur.
• If you like the perfectly shaped eyebrows of the Kim Kardashian types of the world. Eyebrow threading is for you. Perfectly shaped eyebrow coiffed to your unique facial shape.
• As opposed to waxing, the top layers of skin are not peeled or traumatized in the process making threading gentler on the skin. Threading is highly recommended and an excellent option for those who use Retin-A, Accutane, or similar products.
• Eyebrow threading instantly makes eyes appear larger and lifted. Maintained eyebrows project a sharper, well-groomed, and polished overall image instantly!
