How I’m Looking After Myself (simple self care and beauty)
- High frequency on my roots on wash days (2x week), followed by onion serum meant for hair
- Homemade hair mask of egg + mayo for 15 mins before shampooing (dry hair) and applying Shikakai powder + water mixture to my roots
- Apparently air drying is bad for your hair, so I’m trying to use very little heat from the blow dryer instead
- 1 clay mask/ the ordinary’s red serum mask (AHA+BHA) a week
- Morning routine: face wash, toner, vitamin C, eye cream, sunscreen and moisturiser
- Night routine: face wash, toner, hylaronic acid, eye cream, moisturiser
- Lymphatic drainage massage on mask days
- Occasionally using high frequency
- Waxing upper lip/ chin/ eyebrows myself once a week/ 15 days
- Black head removal twice a month (i steam my face while doing this)
- Minimal make up, even on work days to prevent clogged pores
- a gentle body wash of mint and some other herbs
- A combo of body oil and moisturiser after shower
- Red nails and toes, always
- Waxing instead of shaving - especially down there to reduce growth, waxing lasts so much longer than shaving; I wax once in like 1.5 months
- Oil massages at my local masseuse once a month
