All about dandruff

DO NOT TAKE THIS ARTICLE AS A DIAGNOSIS, PLEASE CONSULT WITH YOUR MEDICAL DOCTOR. THIS ARTICLE IS PURELY TO SHARE POSSIBLE PREVENTION & HEALING REMEDIES. 

​WHAT IS DANDRUFF?
Dandruff is a very common condition that causes the scalp to shed dry skin. Dandruff can come with itchiness, excess oil, dry patches, or even raised bumps along the hairline. 

WHAT CAUSES DANDRUFF?
Dandruff can be a telling sign of a number of conditions. Lets start with Seborrheic Dermatitis, also know as Eczema. This is a common reason for dandruff and cases can range from mild to severe. This impacts areas of the body that creates more sebum (oil). 

Contact Dermatitis is typically a skin irritant causes by Allergens. This can be your body's way of telling you that it is allergic to something.

Climate induced dry skin. Dandruff can be a seasonal condition for some, especially in the dry and cold winter months.

Shampooing habits. This can go either way, shampooing too frequently or not enough. You may have to pay close attention to this one and learn your body's natural rhythm. You may be rushing the natural process of shedding dead skin cells or not keeping up with the frequency.

Hormonal Imbalances. A very common condition in women is PCOS, Polycyctic Ovarian Syndrome. This condition leads to androgens (male hormones) stimulating activity in the sebacious glands. More oil = increased chance of inflammation = dandruff.

​These are just a few of the many causes...


HEALING & PREVENTION
Who is the 1 person that knows your hair as much as you? Your hair stylist! Allow your stylist to give recommendations on products to use if you are struggling with dandruff. They can even suggest how often you should be using them!

A lot of eczema, psoriasis, and hormonal imbalance are a result of what is happening in the liver. This can be a sign of built up toxins that haven't had the proper nudge to release. This can happen by altering slight changes to your breakfast and morning routine! Every morning upon waking, your liver tries to expel toxins that have been filtered. The moment you put a form of fat (healthy included) into your body, the natural detoxification stops and your pancreas and liver are switched back on. Lemon water first thing upon waking is the best gift you can give to your belly & liver! Making the simple switch from eggs or toast to fruit or oatmeal is also prolonging the detox in the morning. You would be surprised to know how much toxins can build up over years. (including heavy metals, air pollutants, and chemical.)

Get Some Sunshine! This can be a beautiful remedy for suppressing the fungus that causes dandruff and Seborrheic Dermatitis.

Minimize Stress! Stress plays a huge roll in our overall health. It controls our bodies on a mental and physical level. By reducing stress through exercise, breathing practices, or getting creative, we can prevent and heal dandruff in many cases. 

​Avoid Specific Edible Culprits! This may be a tough one to swallow but these types of foods contribute to many more health issues than just dandruff. Refined carbs such as white bread, white rice, white pasta, cookies, crackers, etc.. Also, red meat, all processed foods, fried foods, excess oils, and refined sugars. (Don't dislike the messenger, we are just here to help!)

hair growth & beating hair loss

SMALL LIFESTYLE CHANGES TO

​PROMOTE HEALTHY HAIR GROWTH

Picture
AVOID RESTRICTIVE DIETING
​Restrictive dieting can limit specific nutrients needed for ultimate hair health. Being too restrictive can also cause a depletion of vitamins and minerals in your body, leading to an offset of hormones and hair loss. Fad diets are extremely popular in this day age for one ultimate goal: rapid weight loss. When these diets do not consider your overall health, there can be unhealthy side effects. 
(Always consult with your doctor about dieting)


PROTEIN IS POWERFUL
Lentils, peas, hemp, quinoa, peanuts...
Protein is an essential component needed for healthy hair growth. If you don't consume enough protein, your hair could be suffering. Sometimes supplements are needed if you don't have the time to prepare most meals at home. This is something to consult with your doctor about to ensure you are getting your proper intake of protein every day. ​


BOOST YOUR NUTRIENT PROFILE
It is crucial that our bodies are supplied with all of the proper vitamins, fatty acids, and minerals to maintain the energy required for hair growth. These are the key components to healthy hair:
Biotin, Vitamin D, C, & E, Zinc, Iron, Omega 3 + 6.
(A blood test could be helpful, along with medical consultation)


3 ESSENTIAL OILS TO EXPLORE
Pumpkin, Peppermint, and Rosemary!​
There have been many studies that show improvement in hair growth when these oils are involved. That is why many hair care companies infuse their products with these ingredients. It's no beauty secret, its science! 


SCALP MASSAGES
Yes, you read that right. Indulging in scalp massages can be very beneficial for stimulating hair growth. Not only does it encourage your body to relax and relieve stress, it can also enlarge blood vessels just beneath the skin for vital blood flow. This helps repair & activate hair follicles.


BALANCE YOUR HORMONES
It has become more common in the 21st century for people to have unbalanced hormones. Many factors in our everyday lives play into our body's natural endocrine system. Processed foods, a lack of exercise, plastics, pollutants, stress, mental health, poor environment, excess screen time, and much more. While this may seem a bit overwhelming, it is very possible to re balance one step at a time. There are always temporary solutions (diets and medication), but we want to focus on the overall lifestyle shift to hopefully bring our bodies back into sync, ridding dependence on "quick-fixes." Balanced hormones promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.​​


MOST IMPORTANTLY,
BEATING STRESS

Stress may be the biggest key in all of this. Stress has the power to control our minds, bodies, and overall health. Beating stress should be the first priority on everyone's list. Every person in unique in their own beautiful way and what works for one may not work for anyone else. Taking the time to learn your stress-triggers and how to express them in a healthy manor versus internalizing them, which is detrimental to our long-term health. Talking with a mental health specialist can be helpful. ​

top 5 beauty goals for 2022

TOP 5 BEAUTY GOALS FOR 2022

Picture
​1. DEVELOP A CONSISTENT SKIN CARE ROUTINE:
Consistency is key to many things in life and our skin, being our largest organ, is pretty high on the priority list! We don’t usually know if something is working for us until using it for 3 months, so that product you dismissed because it didn’t do anything might’ve just needed more time with you! Lastly, make sure to keep your skin clean and hydrated morning and night.
2. TAKE CARE OF YOUR MENTAL WELL-BEING
Beauty is so much more than how we look, it’s also how we feel. Taking care of your mental well-being is the ultimate form of self love. Try taking the time to journal, or do yoga + stretch to protect your inner peace.
A few examples of my own personal self care:
First step: Remove all guilt before proceeding!
-A daily salt bath (even if only for 10 minutes)
-Detaching from my phone during evenings and weekends
-Nourishing my body with high quality foods
-Escaping reality for a moment with fictional therapy. (Does not have to be fiction, can be as simple as a good cook book!)
-Treating myself to my favorite meals without anyone's influence.
You deserve it!
-Striving for a full 8 hours of good quality sleep every night. (I invested in a high-quality mattress + pillows that made all the difference)
3. SWEAT!
Movement is such an important part of our overall health, and our overall health is a big player in our skin health. Make it a goal to sweat for just 10-15 minutes a day, and you will see instant results in your skin!
4. HAVE MORE FUN WITH YOUR MAKEUP
With the pandemic keeping us sheltered at home, a lot of us beauty lovers lost our motivation to get creative with makeup. 2022 could bring an end to staying at home, so it’s time to get our makeup muscles right! Changes do not have to be drastic. They could be as simple as: 
-Trying new lip or eye colors
-Adding shimmer to your cheek bones
-Removing certain products or steps (sometimes less is more)
- Contouring 
-Change your mascara color
-Trying a new hair style or color!
-Switching up textures: Matte, Dewey, Glossy, Shimmer...etc.
5. MAKE MORE SUSTAINABLE AND  MINDFUL BEAUTY CHOICES
An important and necessary resolution, making more sustainable beauty choices was the #1 goal for so many users. From buying fewer products, to choosing sustainable brands, to actually emptying out products before we toss them, and even to finding a new purpose in packaging, there are so many ways we can be more earth-conscious in our beauty journey.

An A to Z of Makeup Tips!

7/21/2017

4 Comments

 

Acne Coverage- I understand what it is like to try and hide acne under layers of makeup. It can be extremely frustrating and most of the time your skin just gets worse from of all the dirt and oils collected during the day. Let's go to the root of the problem real quick... these key things helped me immensely! 1)Cutting out processed sugar and dairy as much as possible 2)Working daily cardio into your schedule. 3)Finding an over the counter "medicated" skin care regimen. -This can be 100% natural as well. 4)Staying hydrated internally and externally.
​5) Overall balancing our hormones. 

Remember, sometimes your skin will trick you and get worse before it gets better! I cannot tell you how many times this had stopped me in my tracks from continuing to try new things. Acne needs to come to the surface of the skin in order to heal. 

With all of that in mind, covering blemishes should be treated with the upmost care. A pre- moisturizer or healing product should be applied before the primer application. The primer will hold down and protect the clean surface while prepping for foundation of your choice. (Recommended Primer) 
 
Building Brows- If you don't already know, when you continue to wax and tweeze over a long period of time, hair will slowly stop growing back. Today, beautiful, bold, sharp brows are in! This can be challenging if you were born in the 90's and later. The trend was to achieve thinly arched brows, although, mess ups just caused more and more hair to disappear. 

Luckily, we have wonderful makeup products that can get your brows looking full and natural again! Less is more! Especially with filling in your eye brows. 

My trick: A small angled brush with a thin tip. (Frameworks Brow Powder) I wet my brush for a deeper defined line and as it dries, I fill in the patches needed. 
 
Concealer - Concealer can be confusing. If its not a foundation, nor a highlighter, what is it? Concealer is that key product containing a high pigment concentrate to bring shadowing to the surface. Concealer is typically used in areas such as; under eyes, creases of nose, in between brows, and any imperfections you don't want to be seen. Concealer should be a shade or two lighter than your skin tone and foundation. I have seen beautiful coverage done with only using Primer, Concealer, Bronzer and/or Blush, Finishing Powder (if needed)

Tip: Concealer is great if you're going to be on camera and working with harsh lighting. (Hollywood Faces is designed for the camera)
 
Dirty Faces – You absolutely need to wash your makeup off at the end of every day. "Too tired" is not a good enough excuse to clog your porous or cause your own blemishes. This can be an extremely dirty habit that will only creep up on you later in life. 
 
Excessive Products - Are you using too many products? Do you feel like you're buying makeup every month? We are so intertwined with social media, on top of the latest trends. We have this  constant burning need to prove the "I can do what you can do.. but better." These major product companies thrive off from this concept! They keep reinventing the same products but putting them into new packaging. It reminded me of when the peanut butter and jelly swirled into one jar came out.. Do I really need this if I already have peanut butter and jelly at home?

These products are just costing more time in the morning , money, and more upkeep. 

Be smart about your makeup! We can achieve a lot with a little amount.


​Facials Made Easy – This is one trend I find extremely smart and affordable. Facials are a luxury service that are nice to have every once in a while. Today, there are hundreds of at home facials and remedies to choose from! You can use ingredients from your own kitchen (honey, lemon, cucumber, avocado...) 

ALSO

They made easy 10/20 minute masks that can be as little as $3 . I highly recommend this as long as you don't have sensitive skin. It's always great to give your skin a little boost of natural ingredients. 
 
Glossy Lips - There are a hand full of people that will cringe at the thought of lipgloss. They think about a sticky mess soon to be eaten off. Heres a little trick I do to resemble lipgloss without the stick... Use your regular shade of lipstick or liner (preferably not matte) and go over it with vaseline or coconut oil! 
 
Hydration- Staying hydrated with water plays a huge role in how your skin looks on a daily basis. For fresh, bright, lush skin... drink lots of water!
 
Ingredients Matter!- You definitely don't need to go out and buy the most expensive products on the shelf. Just because the price is high, does not mean the ingredients match, the price can be large from nice packaging. Always read ingredients or at least know the product well enough to trust that you're putting clean ingredients on your face. You should be comparing the "you are what you eat" for your makeup,  except "you are what you wear." 
 
Jaw Definition- Contour products are hot now! Although, this jaw defining trick can be achieved simply with bronzer or even a deep nude toned eye shadow. Improvising is my favorite! Sometimes you can find tricks to go above and beyond your expectations. 
 
Khol- We have all seen this word in the cosmetic world. Typically in eye lining products. Khol is an ancient eye cosmetic, a fine black powder that was used in the egyptian era to outline eyes. 

​Lashes – When adding to your lashes, it is very easy to make false stripped lashes noticeable on top of your natural lash line. A little trick I picked up to prevent this is to apply a fair amount of mascara first. Then when gluing the false strip on, stick it to base of your hairs keeping it off and away from your lid. (This way, your lashes are protected with mascara from the glue, giving a much more natural appearance.)

Mascara Tips - Eyelashes are very delicate. It is not hard to lose lashes from applying mascara every day. Many consumers don't realize that there is a specific ingredient causing this problem... TAR. This is a hidden ingredient put into most mascaras. Finding a mascara that is tar free will lessen the stress put on your lashes. (Move Eyes)

Non Irritating Makeup - A lot of factors play into a consumers happiness with their makeup application. Everything from color to how it makes their skin feel.   Makeup should be an accessory used to enhance your skin, not irritate or feel like a mask. In some cases, makeup can actually help clear up acne and protect your skin from the sun. It's okay to try many brands before you find the one your skin likes most. After all, this is similar to having a diet, externally. 

Oils - If you have dry/normal textured skin, I am all for oils! Coconut oil, Argan Oil, Avocado Oil, Flaxseed Oil, Jojoba Oil, Lavender Oil.. and the list goes on! This is a beautiful and healthy additive to your skin.
 
Picking the Perfect Foundation- Foundation can be compared to trying on new clothes. This product needs to match your lifestyle, your skin tone, and comfort your skin texture. Foundations come in all shapes in sizes. Some lightweight and some heavy for a thicker coverage. Also, what is realistic for you during your morning routine? Something with added moisture for a quick apply and go or something to fit in and balance nicely with your other products. Lastly, all foundation shades should be tested and matched in natural lighting! This is very important. You will be happiest when purchasing.
 
Quit using products that test on animals! - This is beyond cruel and we would never support such careless product production. There is an app called BUNNY FREE by PETA that will sort though all beauty brands telling you whether they test on animals or not. 
 
Removing Makeup Trick - Makeup removers can be tricky when figuring what you should put on your skin. Honestly, I believe that natural products and at -home remedies are much more efficient without irritation. 

My favorite trick for eye makeup is my botanical based Primer (Film Ready) Easy on the eyes and my skin loves it!
 
Sunscreen- A sun protectant is so important! Do you ever look at models or celebrities and wish you had their complexion? Not only are they worked on by different specialist all the time, they also protect their skin from the sun constantly! Sun damage leads to wrinkles, sun spots, age spots, and even worse. You also don't want to have to keep changing your foundation base when you can always add a little more color or bronzer. 
 
Tweezers- These will always come in handy! Tweezers can be used to clean up sudden hairs or help apply lashes. This is a product worth investing a little more money in for a tough lasting grip. 

Un-even Cat Eye - This might be one of the most researched beauty trends of this generation. How to get an even liner on both eyes? We have to jump back to geometry class for this one. All eyes are different and in most cases no two eyes are completely symmetrical. 

Start at the outside of your lash line and draw a vertical line up to your eyelid crease. Do this one both sides. From the crease on both sides, glide your liner pen back towards your lashes creating a very narrow triangle. Fill in any gaps and match. This can be done in baby steps to achieve an "almost perfect" cat eye. 

(Cat Eye Liner)

Visible Pores - Large pores can be a part of genetics. Fortunately, we have such simple ways to minimize the size before makeup application. (Film Ready Primer) is a perfect product for minimizing pores, creating a smooth base, and blending the application for a flawless finish! 

Waxing vs Shaving – Call me old fashioned, but waxing is a preference when it comes to ridding unwanted hair. Within time, the hair will eventually stop growing back!  Waxing over shaving is less maintenance. As long as the hair is pulled at the root, it lessens the chance of growing back after time. 

X Marks The Spot! – Let's jump back to mascara tricks! The "X formation" will give you the biggest and boldest lash look. Swipe back and forth in each direction using your mascara wand for a doll like finish. (Movie Eyes)

Youthful Complexion – Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will make the most impact on your skin! Eat the rainbow, drink plenty of water, and staying active will bring out the best quality of you before makeup applications. 

Zeal – 
Lastly, great energy is key to beauty! Zeal: Enthusiasm, passion, love in pursuit of a cause.
