With dry skins, we should look for creamy formulas which include ingredients that retain water (glycerin). going for beauty products with olive oil and vitamin E can also keep the skin moisturized. These masks are soft for the skin as they do not contain irritants. They can be applied on the whole face.

Acne-prone skin need to get rid of the shine on the T-zone. Anti-inflammatory ingredients (sulfur) exfoliate and clean the pores while killing bacteria.

Rosacea can be reduced by using calming ingredients such as aloe vera, cucumber, chamomille or green tea in order to reduce the inflammation temporarily. These masks should ideally used twice a week as they are gentle.

Everybody knows that autumn and winter is not the best time for our hair whether smooth or Frizzy. The lack of brightness and dryness caused by the cold make our hair irritable: Unable to get up in the morning and spend a casually blow of brush or comb. To remedy this, it is best to adopt a routine cocooning.

The first care for your hair is shampoo : We chose the mildest possible and without silicon at best, because this substance supposed to smooth hair fiber is ,in the long run, not only a barrier against external aggressions but also against other care you will give to your hair. Space out the washing days, ie wash your hair only when you feel that they are really dirty, ie when it starts to itch! Use and abuse masks made with natural products such as shea butter, eggs, honey and fresh cream. Make yourself a hair “mayonnaise” (like that accompanies your starter) with fresh eggs and olive oil. put the mixture obtained as a mask and then shampoo.

Then, apply a rich cream you smooth on a big nut on the scalp first and then massage to the ends. If you don’t fancy styling your hair every morning or every week, adopt the so-called protective hairstyle you are doing with extensions, preferably natural, on the condition of not keeping it more than a month. Even though we are in winter, the hair and scalp needs to be oxygenated so that the hair follicle can regenerate naturally and avoid loss (or breakage).

Finally why not a cure of hair vitamins by caps to be taken once daily for 3 months.
In the evening, remember wrap your hair with a silk scarf not too tight and then if you forget the next day you can always play stylish with a cap or a beret matching the outfit, very trendy.
