Natural Skin Care – Make up Tips

 

 

Hey Earth’s Enrichers!

Natural Skin Care - Make Up TipsMakeup is the now-a-days daily necessity. Everyone tends to wear it and there is nothing wrong with that. Makeup is used to accent one’s beauty, although, it does make one beautiful. It helps make qualifying features stand out and the not so favorite features seem invisible. Makeup is a part of the modern way to present oneself, whether it is onset for television, a business meeting, a night on the town, or sharing a great dinner with loved ones on Thanksgiving.

Even though there is nothing wrong with using make up, there are some aspects of using it to keep in mind.  It is very important to take care of your skin when using makeup. This means washing your face before you put on the makeup and washing it before you go to bed. The reason why you wash your face before you put it on is so that you get rid of all the sleep, drool, or any dead skin you shed while sleeping—this would include whatever makeup left over from the day before. Going to sleep with makeup on is a no, no. Not only does it mess up your linens, but it can clog your pores and cause you to break out. Sweating while having on makeup can also cause clogged pores which leads to break outs.  

To prevent break outs while using makeup, other than washing your face, don’t overdo it and layer your makeup.  It makes it harder to remove and locks up all the germs that your face encounters during the day. Of course, it takes some considerable effort to put makeup on, so when you sweat there are some ways to help you without wiping off your make up. Innovators have created dry wipes, which are basically tissue paper, to blot your face when sweating. It keeps from smudging makeup while lessening the amount of dirt that may get trapped in your pores.  

Makeup can contain ingredients that can break you out as well. The most common of these ingredients are fragrances, and oils. Also, make sure you know your skin, and any particular ingredient you’re allergic to. Makeup can also cause acne. So, look for makeup that contain less oil, is dedicated to being acne free, and has natural ingredients without added fragrances. Practice safe skin! That way you can avoid the chances of breaking out and still enhance your natural beauty. 

The EE 411:

How do you know you’ve broken out or had an allergic reaction?

When your skin starts to feel warm, inflamed, and it begins to itch, swell, or burn, it may be time to see a dermatologist. If it persists, it could create blisters (from scratching or skin sensitivity).   It’d be best to tackle the problem before blisters occur.

What are some cosmetic contributions to skin irritations?

  • Irritant Contact Dermatitis- itching and burning caused by a makeup product
  • Allergic Contact Dermatitis- allergy to ingredients in makeup resulting in blisters, itching, and swelling.
  • Acne Cosmetica-  Acne caused by cosmetics

Natural Hair Care

Natural Hair CareHey Earth’s Enrichers!

Hey everyone, this week’s about hair care. Let’s start with the basics: Wash, Rinse, and Repeat …simple right? I am afraid it takes a little more than that, especially in terms of hair type. There are a lot of things to be careful of when taking care of your hair. Here’s the hair care trinity—most sacred for all hair care—Shampoo, Condition, and Moisturize. 

What is your hair status? Is it oily or does it always need a little hydrating? It’s always important to figure out your hair status. This would also include the type of hair you have whether it is straight or has a curl pattern. The shampoos and conditioners are designed for different hair types and status. For dry hair you may want to look for shampoos that don’t contain sulfates, which will strip your hair of its moisture. Even if your hair is oily, try to avoid sulfates; you don’t want dry out your scalp. 

Always accompany shampooing with conditioning. It helps replace and maintain the moisture in your hair. Especially if your style is all-natural, it is recommended to deep condition your hair once every month to maintain your hair’s shine and to prevent it from getting dried out. The most important part of hair care is moisturizing.

Moisturizing keeps your hair from breaking off, prevents itchy-dry scalp, and keeps your hair healthy. Usually after you wash and condition your hair, the next step is to decide which products you need for your hair style. It’s helpful to use oil to make sure your scalp is well hydrated. It is easier to disperse in your hair, especially if you have a really thick curl pattern. Grease can sometimes be a little too much depending on how well your hair can hold its moisture. Also, leave in conditioners are great for locking in moisturizer without leaving an oily feeling.

The EE 411:

Do you know why it is important to clean and moisturize during your hair care process? Sometimes people forget that under the hair is skin– your scalp. It is probably the most ignored portion of skin on your body. It needs to be cleaned by products that will look after its well-being and will not dry it out or leave it oily. Also, like other parts of your skin, it needs to be moisturized properly. So find oils that are not just good for hair but also for skin like coconut oil, argon oil, and oils made from nuts, avocado, or olives. In taking care of the skin, you can actually help your hair stay healthy.
