Guide to Creating Your Daily Skin-Care Routine . . .



Hi dolls! So recently I wrote a post on how to create your perfect hair routine and I decided that I should also do a guide helping you to create a daily skin care routine that is so easy you wont have a problem following it everyday. The benefits to following a skin care routine are endless! Not only will you look healthier, and make your makeup look better but you will also age better. My mom, aunts, and both grandmothers are proof of this. They all follow their own personal skin care routine and they look great! It might also be genetics since both sides of my family age well but I'm sure having a skin care routine made a difference on how they look. Regardless though my mother taugth me the importance of taking care of my skin ever since I was 13. At the time I payed no attention because I was young and what could possibly happen to my flawless skin? Well as it turned out alot! Because thanks to genetics I suffer from big pores and when I was 13 I had a huge acne problem in which left me with acne scars for life. Which is why I now take my mothers advice and have been taking care of my skin to protect what good I still have. Just how in the "Guide to Creating Your Perfect Hair Routine" I stated that you should take the time to look for the appropriate hair products that go with your hair type,  you should also take the time to find products that go with your skin type (normal, dry, oily, combination).

My daily skin care routine
Step 1: Cleanse
Once you have determined your skin type and found the right cleanser (it can be a bar or liquid, it doesn't matter) go ahead at wash your face with it and pat dry. This is to wash of dirt, grime dirt and leftover makeup residue from the day and aids the cell renewal process.
Step 2: Toner
After you pat dry your face you will take some of your toner in a cotton ball or cotton pad and wipe all over your face. The toner helps to minimize the look of pores, improves your skins texture and to wipe off the remaing dirt from washing your face.
Step 3: Moisturizer
As for you final step all you have to do is to moisturize your face and neck. This will keep your skin hydrated and soft.

Things to remember:
Along with following your routine daily they are also a number of thing you should not forget.

  • Washing your face isn't enough to take off your makeup so take of your make up with makeup remover every night, no matter how tired you are.
  • Try to do your routine twice a day (morning and night), if you do not have time to do it in the morning it is okay. Just make sure to do it every night.
  • Do not forget sun-screen if you are planning to leave your house even if it is cloudy.
  • Trade in your usual face cleanser for an exfoliate scrub every other day to remove dead skin cell.
  • Give yourself a facial once a month for deep-down cleansing.
Also know that you should adjust your skin care routine to your age group, different age groups require different needs. And remember the earlier you start following a skin care routine the more benefits you will see as you get older.

Guide to Creating Your Perfect Hair Routine . . .




What girl wouldn't die for Jennifer Aniston's beautiful hair?

 Hi girls! Sorry that I have been M.I.A for awhile but a lot has been going on in my life with school, family issues, personal issues, and currently in the process of re-modeling my room I have not had the time to write new articles until now. So without further a do I'll get started on this weeks article which has to to with creating a easy hair routine for your hair.

I know some people do not find it necessary to figure out a proper hair routine for themselves but I find having a hair routine figured out for yourself just as important as having a makeup, skin care, and beauty routine. So I'm going to share with you my hair routine that can easily work for you by just finding the proper hair products.

Step 1: Cleanse

Start by shampooing your hair every other day so that way your hair gets the necessary natural oils our hair produces. Although you shampoo hair every other night you should condition your hair every day from where your ear is down to the tips of your hair and leave it on for 5 minutes before you wash it out. This will leave your hair hydrated, soft and shiny.
*When it comes to washing your hair it is important to find a shampoo aimed at your hair type, using the wrong shampoo can give your hair the opposite effect that you desired. For example, I have straight hair that tends to lay flat which is why I use volume shampoo/conditioner to help my hair give the proper lift.
Step 2: Brush 
After you get out of the shower and towel dry your hair, brush it with a wide tooth comb. If you do not have a wide tooth comb a plastic paddle brush will work just as well. These two methods of brushing will prevent your hair from snagging or breaking because of the spaces between bristles of the brush and the space between the teeth of the comb.
Step 3: Shine & De-frizz
While your hair is still damp add a small amount of your favorite shine serum through your hair. Comb it out once more to evenly distribute it through your hair and let it air dry.
* If you blow-dry your hair you can do so after applying the serum to your hair. Just remember to blow dry with a round brush and with a low setting to cause the least possible damage to your hair.
Step 4: Finishing Creme

As for the final step, when your hair is fully dry flip your hair over and run a finishing creme through your hair to leave a neat and polished look to it and Voila! your hair routine is complete.

There you go ladies I hope that this easy hair routine will do wonders for your hair just like it did to my hair. Of course they are still many other tips to achieve beautiful locks that I will discuss about later but for now this is a pretty easy starting guide to help you find the right hair routine for you. Just remember to find hair products that work for you and you will have Jennifer Aniston hair in no time.
