Beauty Routine.
Soooo, I have some people ask me about my beauty regimen! I'm happy to share!
My hair.
It's actually more low maintenance than you think. I only wash it once a week. I also do a deep conditioning treatment mask when I do wash it. Extensions dont get the natural oils that your regular hair gets so they dont need to be washed as often but they need a little extra moisture!
For people with really fine hair that feel they need to wash more often, I would say to wash your natural hair on the top! Dry shampoo is my best friend! (My favorite has always been Aquage, I just cant get away from it!) At the end of the day, it's all preference for each hair type! It saves you time and is actually better for the extensions! I spend about an hour on my initial blow dry and curling iron for the week that way it will stay all week and I only have to tweak a few pieces here and there! Washing less and washing with cool water also prolongs the longevity of my color, since I have a bright fashion tone!
Don’t worry, I'll have videos coming out on the best way to style you hair with extensions on my site soon!
Skin care.
I've recently found an amazing skin care line called you•ology by Younique. I use their customized cleanser, rose water, serum, and moisturizer( day and night cream). It’s super important to find a good skin care regimen!
You cannot even begin to think about makeup unless you have a good canvas to apply it to.
You HAVE to take care of your skin. It's so important to maintain the elasticity and collagen in your face...Save money on botox and filler. HA!
I wash my face morning and night! (sometimes it just doesn't happen) but I do try to be very consistent with it and I do notice a difference every time I dont. My make up applies better when I prep my face correctly. Think of it in a sense as preventative maintenance !
Makeup.
I'm definitely fortunate to not have to apply a full face of makeup everyday because I have my eyebrows micro bladed my eyeliner tattooed, lash extensions and my lip liner tattooed. All I really need to worry about is the appearance of my skin!
My daily makeup is simple (Thank you younique)! All I need is BB cream (tinted moisturizer) and their finishing powder. I love the color and consistency of both! I don't use one without the other, they just compliment each other so well, and it keeps my skin looking even and fresh all day.
I also LOVE highlighter. Who doesnt? I use the Tart Pro Glo kit it's been my fav for a while and it lasts forever! I do my cheek bones and my brow bones with that. Add some blush on my cheeks and contour in my "hollow" and call it good!
I'm so lucky that my routine is quick and easy. I have invested a lot of time and money for it to be this way and God Damn was it worth it!
Having two kids a dog and a business, God knows there is just not enough time in a day!
Thank you guys for reading!
Love ya!
