Like most women… I LOVE secrets; ) So I thought I would share some of my SECRETS with you… I don’t know what you were thinking but I was thinking, BEAUTY SECRETS 😉 and they start in the shower!!!
If your like me, I NEVER have a enough time in the day. So taking care of me can get put on the back burner… Before you know it things are out of control!! So, I want to share things I do that don’t take a lot of time and we can do even if our lives are CRAZY BUSY!
Quick Tip #1
Everyone should be able to get pedicures. But sometimes it doesn’t fit in the budget or doesn’t fit in the schedule. I’ve had gift cards to amazing places to get a pedicure but I can’t carve out the time!! Before you know its sandal season and you have alligator feet and TARZAN TOES! No body likes that…Nobody!
So one of the the things I always have in the shower is a pumice stone or pumice sponge. They are SUPER inexpensive! No matter what your budget, you can do this!
At the end of your shower, after your feet have been in the water for a while… they soften up and you can scrub off all the dead skin! Get your heals real good and scrub your whole foot, toes and everything! When you get out of the shower, make sure to put lotion on your feet. Not too much, or that feels gross in your socks LOL, but enough to moisturize them.
Do this at least two to three times a week and you will be ready for Sandal Season any time!!! You got this! #GirlBoss!!
Quick Tip #2
So were all supposed to be FLOSSING our teeth right! Well I have found that if you take a FLOSS PICK in the shower with you, you wont forget to Floss and it actually does an amazing job!
There’s a technique though… to get the most bang for your buck! So the deal is, you want to use the water spraying out of the shower as well as the Floss Pick… The Idea is like…as if you had one of those really cool, amazing tooth brushes that SHOOT WATER at the same time it brushes 🙂
You let the water hit your teeth, where your flossing and it CLEANS your teeth SO GOOD! Now… you still need to BRUSH obviously… which I do when I’m out of the shower. Try it, you will be amazed how much better it works then just flossing and brushing alone:o!
Also be careful not to choke on the water… LOL… I’ve done that;) Don’t let the water shoot down your throat. Just let it hit your teeth with the Floss Pick.
So the next time you go to the dentist you wont have to feel so embarrassed and get the dreaded shame on you lecture, when they say… open wide :O
You’ll be like… LOOK how FABULOUS I am!
Quick Tip #3
Growing up, I battled oily skin and all the issues that come with it. To name a few…large pores, acne, make-up seemed to melt right off my face by the end of the day!
So, I learned right away you have to take care of your skin. With busy lives, and the stress that comes with that, our skin can get very neglected, and it starts to show the effects on our face really quickly! Sometimes even my face needs caffeine! You know what I mean!
So I found that the quickest way to exfoliate and wake up your face is just getting back to the basics. Just a regular Ole WASH CLOTH!
I think with all the fancy stuff we have tried and all the fabulous soaps and scrubs we’ve lost sight of somethings, that really did work!
The technique that works the best is actually no facial cleaner… yet. half way through your shower time grab a fresh wash cloth wet it down with your steaming hot shower water and then rub your face in a circular motion. Starting in your T- Zone. If you don’t know what that is, its the forehead, nose and chin area.
The fibers in the fabric are just the right texture to clean your pores and lift all the gunk out of them and its just the right texture to exfoliate all the dead and dry skin.
Its seriously makes your face look fresh and glowing. Next I follow up with my favorite cleanser right before I’m done. If you apply the cleanser first, it will coat the wash cloth and you wont get the same effect.
When you get out of the shower, follow up with your favorite moisturizer! Your face will thank you for the extra attention!
