If you are struggling with skincare issues like pimples, acne, and the likes, you may have tried a variety of skincare products and all sorts of advice with no luck. It can be tricky finding the right skincare routine and products for your skin. I have been there and I still remember trying so many products in the search for the right ones to help curb my hyperpigmentation after pregnancy. It was a struggle and I spent quite a bit of various products that promised to clear my skin, but most of them didn’t do much.

There’s no secret to having a clear skin. Different skincare products and routines work differently for everyone, and there’s no guarantee what works great on this dry skin would also work great on another. Having said that, there are some general skincare tips that work great on pretty much everyone, and if they don’t work, they usually do no harm. Here are some of the skincare tips –

Avoid popping pimples

Popping pimples increases the risk of more pimples appearing, so no matter how tempting, avoid popping pimples, One way to keep your fingers off your pimples is to get the Dots for Spots Acne Patches. I have a pack myself and they are so handy to have around. I like the fact that they are very effective and discreet enough to wear during the day.

Use Gentle Skincare Products

Another great skincare tip is to use gentle skincare products every time. I generally stay away from skincare products that contain any harsh ingredients. Gentle skincare products are better for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It is always good to test on a small area of the skin for any reaction when you use a new product for the first time.

Keep Makeup Brushes Clean

If you apply makeup regularly, it is important to ensure the makeup brushes are cleaned frequently. Keeping the makeup brushes clean would ensure your makeup is applied correctly, increases the longevity of the makeup brushes, and most importantly, helps the skin stay clean and clear.

Wash and Moisturise Twice a Day

It is important to wash face with a gentle face wash twice a day and moisturise immediately after every wash. That way your skin stays clean, clear and hydrated. The type of cleanser/face wash and moisturiser you choose should depend on your skin type, but overall, the more the skincare product the better.

Sunscreen is Important

Wearing sunscreen protects the skin from harmful sun rays, so applying sun protection at least 30 minutes before you step outside is very important.

5 Tips for Maintaining your Edges

January 2, 2024 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 4 Comments

Our hair edges are so delicate, and they have the power to make or break our look. This is why it is so important to care for them properly. I have real life experience of how easy it is to damage the hair edges and I did a lot of that in my younger days. Didn’t know better and was busy experimenting with all sorts of hairstyles that were damaging to my hairline. Luckily, I retraced my steps some years, and my edges are back and better. It’s not easy to regrow your edges but it is possible with the right haircare products and care.

5 Tips for Maintaining your Edges

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to grow your hair, you are on the right page. Here are 5 tips to help you maintain your edges –

Avoid tight hairstyles

To grow or maintain your hair edges, you would want to avoid tight hairstyles in general. The edges are the most fragile part of the hair, so hairstyles that strongly pull on the hairline is a no-no. You would also want to make sure whoever is making your hair doesn’t have an overly tight grip to avoid damaging your hair.

Nowadays, I do my cornrows myself because I am always rocking a wig or a turban, but many years ago, I had a hairdresser who had a very tight grip. It was horrible and it kind of messed up my hair, so I had to stop having her make my hair. Make sure you only have gentle hands touching your hair.

Stay away from heat

If it’s not possible to stay completely away from heat, then try to reduce using heat on your hair as much as possible. Excessive use of hair dryers, straighteners, flat iron and the likes can lead to hair dryness and breakage. I personally do not use any heat on my hair now and it has greatly helped my hair grow in a healthy way.

Wrap up for bedtime

Wrapping your hair with a silk scarf or bonnet for bedtime prevents the hair from losing oil and moisture, which leads to excessive dryness and hair breakage. I always wrap my hair with a silk scarf and a bonnet for extra protection. Just make sure, the scarf is resting on your forehead and not the edges to avoid unnecessary friction while you are sleeping. Using a silk pillowcase is also great for extra protection.

Keep your hair moisturised

To keep your hair edges healthy, make sure you moisturised them regularly. Depending on the texture of your hair, you might need to moisturise once a day for very dry hair or less frequently for oily hair. Natural oils like Coconut Oil, Black Seed Oils, are best for keeping your hair moisturised and shiny.

Be gentle with your edges

If I could summarise this entire blog post for maintaining your hair edges in 5 words, it would be – ‘be gentle with your edges’. Handle them with care and be consistent with the haircare routine to reap the benefits. It could take a long time to grow the edges back, but if you carry on with the tips and you are gentle with your hair, it will start to look nice again.

I will bee sharing some new haircare products I have been using on my hair and my daughter’s in a subsequent blog post, so keep reading.
