Don’t throw away that hair conditioner, use it as a shaving cream.  

Have you ever spent money on a hair conditioner only to discover that it doesn’t work well for your hair?  Don’t throw it away, use it instead to shave your legs.  The conditioner will not only provide a nice smooth medium for shaving, but it will also soften your skin and the hair at the same time.  You might just be surprised how soft and smooth your legs feel!

Schick Quattro is my favorite razor!  I have very sensitive skin and have been using it for years without any skin irritation.  This Aussie 3 minute miracle is actually a wonderful hair conditioner and it also works great on my legs as well.

Finding your undertones is the first step you should take  

While the color of your skin may change, the color of your undertones will not.  Finding your undertones is the first step in figuring out what shade of foundation and shades of makeup you should be wearing.  It will also help you to determine if you are choosing the correct colors of clothing.

If you don’t know your undertones, here are a few ways that can help you determine what your skin’s undertones are…

Look at the inside of your wrist. What is the main color of your veins? Generally, they will look either blue/purple if you are cool toned or green/olive if you are warm toned.  If you are neutral, the veins will be both blue/purple and green. (That’s me, both purple and green veins)

If you want to easily figure out what skin type you have just follow these simple steps:

  • 1. Wash and dry your face.
  • 2. Leave it completely natural, don’t apply any products after washing.
  • 3. Wait one hour.
  • 4. Press a clean tissue against your forehead, nose, chin and cheeks.

If the tissue doesn’t look any different, congratulations, your skin type is normal.
You have dry skin if you notice any flakes of skin on the tissue.
If the tissue looks transparent or oily in spots that means oily skin.
You have combination skin if the oil only comes from the forehead, nose, and chin  (also known as the T-zone).

Tip Tuesday #51: Moisturize Even if you have oily skin!

Here’s another tip for Tip Tuesday:

Tip Tuesday Make up tips and tricks every Tuesday | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Even if you have oily skin still use a moisturizer!  

Moisturizers are used to improve the skin’s hydration, so think of it as the water content of the skin, not about the oils it produces.  Even oily skin can get dried out, which in turn will only trigger your body to produce more oil.  It is a vicious cycle!

The best moisturizer for oily skin is one that is oil-free, lightweight and non-comedogenic.

One of my favorites has always been Clinique’s Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel

This tip isn’t about makeup, but it is equally as important because it is about homemade cookies.

While I try to eat healthy most of the time, I have a major weakness for homemade cookies!

If you want your cookies to stay super soft and delicious for as long as possible store them with a piece of bread.  You will be amazed how well this tip works.  The bread will get stale and the cookies will stay soft and delicious!

Here is another tip to help you to get what you want out of your trip to the hair stylist…

Last week’s tip: Be realistic about what you are asking for and how it is going to look on you.  Take into consideration your hair’s type, tone, and texture, as well as your face’s shape.

During in Nursing School when I was living in the dorms to make extra money I gave a lot of hair cuts.  Over those years I got a lot of practice figuring out what type of style they wanted and what would look good on them.

This weeks tip…

Bring a lot of pictures with you! You can never bring too many pictures.  Bring pictures of both what you do want, as well as what you DON’T want.  Sometimes the pictures of what you don’t want are more helpful that the ones of what you do want.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so start looking for both what you do and don’t want and bring them along with you!

I totally wish that Pinterest had been around back when I used to do all those hair cuts!

Tip Tuesday #20

Here is another tip for Tip Tuesdays…

I have chin length, very straight, somewhat thin/fine hair (which is the main reason I keep it short).  My hair is also more on the oily side, therefore, I have to wash it every day.  All that being said, that doesn’t mean that I never use dry shampoo.  I just use it for a completely different reason.

My tip for today is to use dry shampoo to add volume your hair.

dry shampoo | lookingjoligood.wordpress.com

Holding the can about 6-8 inches away from my head, I section apart my clean dry hair and spray the dry shampoo at the roots. I let it dry while I do my makeup and then style my hair as usual.  The only difference is that I have a lot of added volume!  Also, my hair doesn’t really hold much of a style, but if I spray it with dry shampoo first I can get a better curl or tease.

Remember last week I told you about my tip for concealing your blemishes? Well, this week’s tip has to do with blemishes as well.  Instead of concealing, I’m going to tell you what I do to heal them faster.

If you are a mother you probably already have this product on hand…

I’m talking about diaper rash cream!

Zinc Oxide which is usually the main ingredient in diaper rash creams is great for spot treating acne breakouts as well.  What Zinc Oxide does to helps protect, dry, and soothe little irritated baby bums, it also does for acne breakouts. When I have a breakout, after following my usual nightly facial cleaning routine, I apply a small amount of Zinc Oxide cream to the effected area.

I prefer Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (in the red tube, not the yellow one), and not just because its name is super fun to say, but also because it has the highest percentage of Zinc Oxide in it.
