How do you layer skincare correctly?
Typically, skincare products are layered: serum/treatment, then moisturizer, then SPF. Serums are designed with actives that we want to be tucked into the skin, so putting them under the moisturizer ensures the occlusives (moisturizing properties) of the hydrators both keep the active ingredients below the moisturizing layer and don’t hinder their performance.
How to properly clean your lash extensions?
Lash extensions should be cleansed daily with a gentle foaming wash, usually available to purchase in the salon. Foam can be applied directly and combed through with a spoolie brush or mascara wand, then gently rinsed.
Best tips removing my lash extensions at home?
I don’t recommend removing eyelash extensions DIY at home. Technicians use a remover specifically designed to debond the glue and reduce breakage.
How to shave down there
The best way to keep from getting irritation from shaving is to shave in the direction of the hair growth. Shaving hair against growth creates a blunt end on the hair, both making it appear thicker and distorting growth, which can irritate the follicle and cause razor burn and/or folliculitis (bumps). Regrowth will be faster, as you aren't shaving the hairs as short, but it quells irritation.
