MISTAKES YOU COULD BE MAKING WHEN WASHING YOUR FACE

                                

     There are some steps you should be following when washing your face to get the job done right. Don't worry - it's not hard, but you will notice a difference in how clean and fresh your face looks and feels in a very short amount of time. From now on, here are the mistakes you must quit making. Believe me you're going to be happy you read this.

     1. YOUR USING HOT WATER WHEN YOU SHOULD BE USING WARM WATER 

First of all you might think that hot water is better at killing germs, but it's way too harsh for your skin. It strips the natural moisture from inside your skin, which can leave you with dry, parched skin on your face. Warm water is perfectly good at removing products, dirt and bacteria from your skin and it preserves the hydration you need for healthy skin.

     2. YOU RUB YOUR SKIN INSTEAD OF PATTING IT GENTLY 

Your skin is the most delicate on your entire body so you should be treating it with daily tender care. When you finish washing your face , never rub it dry. You should gently pat it with a soft towel. This would get rid of excess water, but doesn't stretch and pull your skin, which can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. 

     3. YOU USE AN EXFOLIATION CLEANSER EVERY SINGLE DAY 

Exfoliation is great for removing dead skin cells and residual gunk lingering on your face, but too much of it isn't a good thing. Two or three times per week is good to keep your pores clean and to prevent breakouts. Excess of that can cause your skin to be irritated, red or raw skin on your face.

     4. USING THE WRONG FACIAL CLEANSER 

Make sure you are using a facial cleanser that suits your skin type. It might be oily, dry or normal. Whatever the case, look for a facial cleanser that is good. Using any facial cleanser won't target the issues you're dealing with and won't solve the problem.

      5. YOU DO NOT RINSE YOUR FACE PROPERLY 

Many girls don't take out time to rinse there face properly, myself included. Always in a rush to rinse your face. This means you leave the residual cleanser on your face and it can lead to breakouts due to clogged pores. Make sure you rinse well. It only takes a couple of seconds.

     6. YOU DONT FINISH THE JOB WITH MOISTURIZER 

Apply moisturizer after washing your face is a step you should never skip. The best time ton apply moisturizer is when your skin is still damp from being washed. The moisturizer locks the moisture into your skin, holding it there to hydrate your face. This results, dewy, fresh, radiant and young looking skin.

CLASSY WAYS TO SAY YOUR ON YOUR PERIOD

   

       

     Funny thing is that no body will know you're on your period unless you tell them. If your dating a guy who's trying to touch you below the belt or if your friends are wondering why you've been so moody, then you might want to let them know it's your time of the month.

     1. I'M EXPERIENCING TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES 

 If you're uncomfortable getting sexual with your boy friend during that time of the month you can use this phrase to warn him to keep his hands off.

     2. MOTHER NATURE IS OBSESSED WITH ME

 Mother Nature even though visits every woman once a month, it feels like she's obsessed with you when your time comes.

     3. ITS SHARK WEEK 

 This can also be a good way of saying you're on your period. You wouldn't want to swim on your period knowing it could just go wrong.

     4.TOM'S IN TOWN 

 This is also a good way of saying you're on your period " Tom is In town ". It sounds like a name, but the letters stand for " Time Of Month".

EVERYTHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY

         

     Makeup setting spray is a magical product that promises to keep your makeup in place all day long and all night too, if you're planning on hitting the town all night. It's a good idea to understand the product before using it.

 

     1.THE SPRAY SHOULD BE THE LAST STEP IN YOUR MAKEUP ROUTINE 

                

 Setting sprays makes a similar promise to what primers promises. However, unlike primers, the setting spray is formulated to be the last step in your makeup routine. You need to complete your entire makeup look and then use the setting spray to hold it all in place. It works by preventing your cosmetics from absorbing into your skin, so that they stay where they belong until you're ready to wash them off.

 

     2 . ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF THE SPRAY IS NEEDED

      

 When it comes to setting spray, more is not Better. In fact, you want to go easy on the makeup spray  or it won't do the job it's designed to do. When your ready to use the spray, slightly strech your hand away from your face and lightly mist it on top of your makeup to help it stay put. That's all you really have to do to get a flawless finish.

 

      3 . YOU MIGHT NOT NEED THE SPRAY EVERY SINGLE DAY 

       

 If, for the most part, your makeup looks the same at the end of the day as it did when you went out. You probably don't need a setting spray. If your planning to go for a big event or a night out it probably be a good time to use a setting spray. In general, you can use it everyday, if you wish cause it gives it a good finish and more like skin and would last all day.

     4 . SETTING SPRAYS ARENT RIGHT FOR EVERY GIRL

 Just because a product exits doesn't mean it's a good choice for just anyone. If you have a sensitive skin or specific skin conditions, you may not benefit from the spray. Because many of them contain alcohol, you may notice that your skin gets dry when you use it often.
