Random Beauty Tips #2 - Skincare Edition


Random Tips Part 2
     Alright Darlings, I couldn’t wait any longer to post a new article on random tips. Whenever I get thoughts running in my head about things I wanna share with you loves I get antsy and have absolutely no patience and I must post immediately. LoL. Well today this Random Tip article will be geared more towards skincare as oppose to makeup.
   Let’s get the party started:
    ~ When moisturizing your face, don’t forget to apply some on your brows. Just like the hairs on your head, we wash them when we cleanse and likewise we need to condition them as well.
~ Have an expensive Vitamin C serum? Or thinking of purchasing one? Vitamin C is great for the skin for it is an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals, an essential for anyone’s skincare routine. But what you don’t know is you don’t need to apply everyday. Vitamin C stays active in the skin for 48 hours. Also know that any concentration over 20% is useless. Your face is only going to absorb but so much. So any gimmicks for serums with high concentrations are just that- Gimmicks. Save your money on application and product knowledge and you will be a happy camper. ( Stay tuned for an upcoming  post : Serums 101)
~ Like to wax your body? Don’t wax your nose hairs! The inside of your nose is very vulnerable to passing infections through your bloodstream. When you wax, you can bleed risking serious infection. Your best bet is to carefully trim with mini scissors.
~ Sunblock lips and ears. While we should wear a Broad Spectrum sunblock at all times to prevent UVB & UVA damage (one of the  leading causes for skin Cancer), we should be especially aware of our lips and ears (important if you wear ponytails or have a short haircut that does not cover the ears- this applies to men too!). Not many realize that you can get cancer on your lips and on your ears because the skin is very thin.
~ Don’t pick at your scars. Constantly picking at scars or pimples may not sound like a big deal, however it doesn’t  just cause discoloration, but can also develop cancer because you don’t allow the cells to repair and heal. Cancer is permanently damaged cells that have multiplied. This is an extreme case, but if you keep picking constantly, after time those cells may not ever repair themselves. Ex: Biting on your cheek inside your mouth may not sound bad, but if you continue to chew on your cheek over and over as a habit, years later can turn a nasty habit to a serious health problem.
    These tips may be random,( I know it’s sounds like the craziest topics) but hopefully if we become conscious of the small things it can in turn make a big difference in our health.
Thanks for reading and remember any questions on what you have read are more than welcomed. See you soon my loves <3
Stay Fabulous and Fierce ~~~ XoXo MiMi
