.
Q: How often should I wash my hair?
A: Different for everyone. I wash mine 2x a week and loving the @dphue apple cider rinse
.
Q: I love sauna and steam room but have hyper pigmentation + melasma, should I avoid them?
A: Yes, heat can make these conditions worse, however, I have the same problem + found a solution. I put a freezing cold wet towel over my face + stay in for a few minutes only.
.
Q: How can I reduce puffy eyes/dark circles?
A: Do you have allergies? Do you wear contacts every day? If yes, take a break from them for a few days, avoid eye makeup for a few days, use a jade roller, use a cold compress, drink green tea + other caffeinated teas, get enough sleep, drink water, use an eye cream and tap in in, my favorite is the clinical from @paulaschoice .
.
Q: Spray tans? Y or N?
A: I’ve had good ones and I’ve had bad ones. Shave + exfoliate w a dry brush before you get one. Don’t get a manicure or pedicure beforehand. Stand on a towel so spray tan does not get under your feet. Orange feet aren’t cute. Use a shower cap to protect your hair. After your tan, wipe down in between your fingers + toes. Wear VERY loose clothing. Wash your hands. Moisturize every where w lotions NOT oils several x a day. Dont exfoliate after. Schedule your mani/pedi AFTER your spray tan. Leave your tan on for at least 8 hours.
.
Q: Healthy hair tips?
A: Avoid heat, let air dry, use less product, get a satin or silk pillow case, brush your hair BEFORE your shower NOT after, avoid sulfates and PEG in products.
.
Q: Best way to remove blackheads?
A: Get a facial + have them properly removed. However you will prob still do it anyway so, steam your face for 30 seconds ONLY (any longer can dehydrate skin) don’t get too close to the steam, I don’t burn yourself, this softens your pores. Use 2 tissues + gently press in, under, + out. DO NOT SQUEEZE W YOUR NAILS. Use @paulaschoice exfoliant x
