Beauty Tips for Every Day
So, I know we have talked about tips to prep for your upcoming session, but what about beauty tips in general? I love to talk to women in general about what they are doing to help themselves look and feel beautiful every day. We had a discussion about it in my Facebook Group a few days ago. I have finally compiled a list of the best beauty tips discussed below! Let me know what you think. 🙂
Moisturizer
Moisturizer in general was a big discussion in the Facebook group. Baby oil, coconut oil, and Rose Hip with Vitamin E were the main options. Some girls used baby oil immediately after showering. A few SWEAR by coconut oil. My friend Mihika(below) LOVES the Rose Hip with Vitamin E. I am using a type of baby oil right now, but no matter what you use, moisturizer is important! Let’s prevent wrinkles!
The Magic of Coconut Oil
Every one LOVES coconut oil right now. Whether it is here to stay or not, I don’t know. There are so many things that we are using it for… My friend Makayla(below) uses it to help her hair grow and feel healthier. She puts it in before bed and sleeps with it in her hair. She also uses it for teeth whitening. Now the hygienist in me is saying just go to the dentist for that, but if it works, then try it I guess! I had another friend who uses it as moisturizer for her face. Another friend uses it to remove mascara! Do you have any other uses for coconut oil? I would LOVE to hear them!
Ways to Prevent Sun Damage
So I am VERY anti-tanning. I don’t want to be a leathery old lady, nor do I want skin cancer. I tanned a little bit in college and after, but not much at all. We had a little discussion in the group about how to prevent it! The overwhelming response was sunblock with a high SPF, which we all know, but don’t necessary follow(unless we are in the pool right)? Hats, staying in the shade, sunglasses, chapstick with SPF are all other options. We all want Vitamin D during the summer, but think about what you are doing to your skin long term as well. A good option for your upcoming session is sunless tanning. Glow STL is my go to girl for spray tans. Try her out next time you need a tan!
Lashes
So, this is my suggestion. I started getting a lash lift in May with Savanah Summer Beauty. OH MY GOSH. Everyone needs to do this. My lashes have NEVER looked better. I rarely have to use mascara, plus they look twice as long! Check out my results below and contact Savanah for your Lash Lift as well. You won’t regret it! 🙂
