7 Common Mistakes You Make When Washing Your Face

Washing your face seems pretty simple, right? You’ve been doing it your whole life and, well, your face is still attached so what’s the big deal?

The issue is that you can cause more harm than good if you don’t do it right, and that can result in some pretty significant issues, like dryness, irritation and premature sagging and wrinkles. We asked Dr. Jeannette Graf, M.D., assistant clinical professor of dermatology at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, to weigh in on the top mistakes you make when you’re cleansing and how to correct them. 

Read on below!

Pick the right cleanser: Depending on your skin type, you need to pick a pH-balanced cleanser that’s perfect for your face. Dr. Graf advises a foaming or gel cleanser for oily skin and a creamier cleanser for dry skin. But no bar soap, ever. It’s just too drying.

Make sure your hands are clean: ”I’m constantly amazes at how many people skip this step,” marvels Dr. Graf. It’s simple: Dirty hands mean that you’re trying to cleanse your skin with, well, dirty hands. Wash your hands first, then wash your face.

Wash your washcloth: If you’re using a washcloth, make sure that’s clean, too. “Either wash the washcloth every single day or use a new one each time you wash your face. Washcloths can redeposit dirt and grime right back to your skin. “I’d prefer people use their fingers, ” says Dr. Graf. “With your hands, you know how much pressure you’re using, but with cloths and such, you can be too rough.”

You’re getting warmer: You want lukewarm water to ensure that your skin remains hydrated and unaffected. Dr. Graf advises a happy medium for best results: Not too hot, not too cold.

Don’t over-exfoliate: A lot of people go at their skin with a bit too much gusto with scrubs and exfoliants, so Dr. Graf warns that you should be gentle with your face. You also want to avoid using harsh grains and use a gentle scrub or exfoliant so you don’t cause damage to the skin.

Get rid of the cleanser completely:  Dr. Grad advises that you should make sure to cleanse your face completely. “Make sure you rinse any cleanser off completely. Residue can lead to dryness,” Graf advises.

Twice a day, no exceptions: Dr. Graf says most people don’t wash their face enough. “You should wash your face twice a day. Once in the morning when you wake up to remove the dirt and bacteria that gathers on your face while you’re sleeping, then again at night to take off makeup and the grime collected throughout the day.”

How To Rock Black Lipstick

There’s something appealing about going out of the norm when it comes to beauty. Almost everyone would rather stay safe with red lipstick, pink lipstick, nude lipstick or wine coloured lipstick. Well we like to do things different, and it seems so do a number of people as we have noticed a fast-catching beauty trend, the use of black lipstick.

Gone are the days when if you want to go bold on your lips you have to go subtle with your eyes. According to beauty experts, there is absolutely no reason why you cannot go bold in both areas of your face, but for red carpet looks you will want a look that is soft, even with black lipstick. One of the best ways to make a statement with your lips is definitely with black lipstick. Black lipstick is rarely worn outside of costume parties, the runway or photo shoots but all that can change.

Black lipstick has been spotted on style daring celebrities like Lupita Nyong’o, Joan Smalls, Rihanna, Jessie J, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and more. They have shown that there are ways to rock the black lipstick that would make one look more glam than goth.

Check out these black lipstick tips according to makeup artist Nick Barose:

Black lipstick is not easy to pull off, but when you keep it sheer — not matte or opaque, but with a hint of sheen — the effect can be feminine and glamorous in a silent film star sort of way.
To soften the color a little bit, dab a dot of red gloss on the center of your lips to give the black just a hint of warmth.
Because the shade is so dramatic, stick to minimal eye makeup, or go for coordinating tones.
Avoid hard lip liners, and keep the rest of the face pretty and feminine. You can pair your look with flirty lashes, liquid liner, and a berry cheek stain.

Seems easy doesn’t it? Why not give this beauty trend a try and let us know if it works for you!

Keeping The Skin Moisturized During The Harmattan

Ladies are you feeling the dry and dusty hazy wind yet? Well, if you're in Nigeria right now you will understand why i'm asking.
Here are some tips that should keep you going:

ALOE LIPS -  For those of you who are into MLM ( Multi Level Marketing) you may have come across this product from FOREVER LIVING PRODUCTS . Its just a simple lip balm which contains jojoba oil and Aloe Vera, it  keeps my lips moisturized, i carry it around in my bag , though very small in size i like the fact that its easy to open, unlike the ones in flat metal jars, and the smell is quite nice. I often use it before any lip stick application but now i use it almost every hour whether i'm wearing make up or not. Lip balms are very essential this season ,so Its time you throw one in your handbag too.

GLYCERIN : There are many uses of glycerin , for me i prefer to use it in the shower , either with my shower gel or just with water. It prevents your skin from having that dry feel after stepping out from the bathroom.

How To Treat Coloured Hair

Nowadays, more and more women are opting for a little colour in their hair. Whether its highlights, low-lights or a full-on dye, coloured hair can make a woman feel attractive as well as confident. Wouldn’t it be great if we could maintain healthy hair even when it is coloured? Here are a few tips on how to maintain coloured hair while keeping it healthy at the same time:

Get rid of split ends- Make sure to take a trip to the salon at least every six weeks for a regular trim. The healthier your hair, the longer the colour lasts.
Deep conditioning treatments- Coloured hair tends to be drier than usual. So a deep conditioning treatment should be used at least 2 to 3 days before applying colour. Try John Frieda conditioner.
 Wash your hair- Washing your daily is not necessary. Although, it should be perfectly timed to maintain the hydration your hair needs.

7 Things you Should Know about Transitioning from Relaxed to Natural Hair

The natural hair movement is really gaining speed and we can decide on one of three things; Join in the movement, keep relaxing your hair and decide natural hair isn’t for you or do both (yes that is possible).

For those of you that have decided to join in the natural hair movement, the process can be scary, especially when you’re thinking of doing the Big Chop (BC). Most have described the BC as the easier way to go but for some it’s like cutting off an arm. So instead of having the BC, they transition.

So, what are the things that could help your transition to natural hair easier? We are here to help out.
