    Default What is your beauty routine?

    What beauty treatments, shopping, maintenence do you get?

    Getting nails done, hair cuts, hair color, tanning, laser treatments, facials, massages, make-up shopping, skin care regimens...etc.

    Just curious because I know dancers have to look good, and currently I am low maintenance just because I find a lot of things so time consuming and I have no need to keep up with it...

    But I do want to start looking better, I mean Im young, I shouldn't be in a pony tail and sweats all the time!!

    Honestly, while I maintain my looks pretty well, I do it almost all myself. I just can't get behind the concept of spending $1000+ a month for beauty treatments, when I can do it myself and get the same results for maybe $100 a month.
    Anyway, mine is basically like this:
    Daily: shower,shave, moisturize with body butter or LUSH massage bar, always wash, tone and moisturize my face before bed
    Three times a week: Wash and condition my hair (I have very thick, dry hair, so I only wash it twice a week, three times at MOST. Dry shampoo is awesome). Tweeze eyebrows.
    Twice a week: Exfoliate entire body and face, self tan (Sunlabs for life!)
    Once a week: Deep condition hair, steam my face and occasionally use a face mask for oily skin, complete manicure
    Every two weeks: Complete pedicure
    Every 6 weeks: Touch up roots (I dye my hair red), trim side bangs, get a deep-tissue massage (the one thing I absolutely have to splurge on)
    Every 3 months: All over hair color, trim ends

    I take much better care of my looks at 29 than I did at 19, and it shows!!
    Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans

    Im pretty low-maintaince so I dont do much ....

    I go make-up shopping about ones a month, buy random things I think I need
    I get my nails done ones a month, medi and pedi.
    Get my eyebrows done (tinted) ones a month as well
    I get my hair dyed and hair cut about 3-4 times a year.
    I tan only about 4 months in the whole year, 2-3 times each month
    I get a facial, massage, body wraps all that spa junk 1-2 times a year.

    The thing I do daily is go to a suana and have a body and face scrub on me, after 10 mins I use the scrub and sit there longer, my skin seems better, after that I usually sit in salt water. I do this about ones a week. (thanks to my gym I can do this)
    I do my own facials times a month.
    I use a wrinkle cream and moisturize everyday for my face, I shave every other or so, thats about it

    When I was dancing I used to spend a whole lot more money on beauty.
    Now en days-
    I shower daily
    wash and condition every day.
    I like to use soft soap body wash,Its cheap and gets the job done.
    I use this face scrub in the shower.It's by Avon,its amazing.
    Brush my teeth three times daily. Mentadent toothpaste. The whitening system.($10)
    Touch up my roots every two weeks
    I get a fill for my nails (I never get a pedi,I hate people touching my feet)
    I do my own pedi on an as needed basis, and twice a week I touch up the polish.
    Tweeze my eyebrows every day..I always find some new strays every time I look in the mirror.
    I shave everything everyday,especially in the summer.
    Straighten or curl my hair daily,depends on my mood.
    Get hair trimmed once every two months.
    I now use nivea goodbye cellulite for my stretch marks (Havin a youngin will do that to you)
    Tanning bed only 4 times a month.
    I really don't wear makeup a whole lot,only when I feel like it..
    I always try to find time for a nice soak in the bath with some bath salts. I like to look rested even though Im not.
    I love Ulta for makeup.
    I do always wear mascara. Apply to the tip first,then the rest of the lash,then I blow dry them.
    Believe it or not,I floss daily!! most people don't but I have to,I feel icky if I dont.
    Crest white strips are kinda pricey,but when I have the money I do like to buy them,and they do work.
    And unlike some people I know,I like to clean out my ears. Sometimes I feel like Im the only one in the world who does. Don't you hate it when people have yellow gunk in their ears. Blah.
    and my son slobbers all over my face,lol, Thats my best beauty regimen
    I is a mommy.

    I get my hair trimmed and dead-ended every 3-6 months, and I don't colour it - thank goodness I was blessed with great hair! Hot oil treatments are my sneaky indulgence, I love them.

    I have ridiculous skin, so when I shower I always exfoliate with Soap&Glory's Scrub Your Nose In It! facial scrub and clay mask. It is the shit. I leave it on for a while to let the mask in it work on my pores, rub it all about, and rinse off when I rinse my conditioner off. I scrub with a big stiff brush all over in the shower as well to help my lame circulation and shampoo twice a week - other times I just rinse my hair in hot water.

    As for nails, they're all my own and I keep myself well manicured and pedicured at home. Pretty obsessed with having white teeth - wish I could find those Crest strips here!

    I'm a bit of a freak and do wet sets for work - including setting lotion! Which means me walking around in rollers with an old bandana on is not too strange in this house.
    Get the fuck off my harbl, yo'.

    I try to do as much stuff at home on my own as possible...

    I do homemade facials, I tint my hair in the winter (I'm a natural redhead and it gets SO dull looking in the winter-time) with drugstore boxed dyes, and I'm in the process of trying to grow my hair out to my butt, so no haircuts, I trim my own split ends.

    The only thing I pay for is getting my eyebrows waxed (because I'm a pansy and can't pluck my own) and pedicures. I don't like to wear fake nails because I freelance write and blog, and typing on a keyboard with fake nails is SUCH a pain in the ass. Taking out contacts with fake nails is no picnic either.

    However, I'm going to start shelling out for bikini waxes soon. I'm getting horrible ingrown hairs and it seems like I can never get a close enough shave.

    But I do want to start looking better, I mean Im young, I shouldn't be in a pony tail and sweats all the time!!
    Ok so heres what I use...
    Dove Shea Butter Soap, Suave Cocoa Butter w/ Shea Lotion, Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream... for my skin to keep my tone smooth and even, plus I love the smell.

    As far as nails go, I do my own pedicure and manicure. Its really easy plus I dont have fake nails because of my day job.

    Hair color/ cut.. I do my own hair too, girl youtube will teach you
    everything plus Im in cosmetology school so its pretty second nature. I dont color my hair I use weave.
    The Shampoo I use is Creme of Nature and the conditioner is Motions plus conditioner. Ima black girl so those are ethnic problems!

    I also dont do laser hair removal, I wax myself, well atleast like my eyebrows and face but I shave everything else.

    Facials, I dont get them but I love them when I have gotten them. I use cetaphil face wash and for a mask sometimes I use Queen Helens Mint Mask.

    As far as makeup, I need to find some make up too cause I donot like doing the makeup!

    Good Luck

    oOOooohh, I absolutely ADORE the concept of beauty. And ANY woman for which does also

    I PURPOSELY went to school and recieved my diploma for " Cosmotology / Esthetics " Just to make myself pretty! So therefor I can do everything and become beautiful just like a pro! ( I'm weird I know ) Wasnt cheap, But makes up for it on the back end. ( Lookin fierce as my friend says..lol )

    Anyhoo my beauty routine is this.... ( Extremely High - Maintanence, but Not..WTF??! )

    ( Mon A.M - )

    First thing is shower, Whilst in the shower, I do my facial routine. I use a DOVE unscented beauty bar to get crap loose, Then I use a CREAM deep pore cleaner, that is really light. Whilst I have that on, I use my 4 Speed Clarisonic PRO brush for 2 minutes, Which I HIGHLY recommend. Then I rinse off the deep cleaner, and apply NOXEMA. Whilst soaking up ALL the warm water, I rinse off Noxema, And Apply Nuetregena Salicylic Acid Facial wash. ( The orange stuff ) ( I have acne prone skin, Sali works WONDERS!! ) I then rinse off the sali and call it quits.

    After shower, I moisturize with an SPF of 15 or greater for the day.

    Then I use a whitning PRE- Brush Rinse BEFORE I brush my teeth, using my Sonic Care tooth brush which I HIGHLY recommend. Then I hit up some reg mouthwash.

    Then I tweeze or re shape my brows as needed.

    Then Apply make up and all that jazz.

    Then I moisturize my entire body with GRAPE SEED OIL, Wipe off with towel, then apply Nivea ORIGINAL Moisture Lotion to knees, elbows, Etc.

    Then I do Mani/Pedi for the start of the week.

    ( P.M. )

    Just like above, Just minus make up, & Tweezing, & Mani/Pedi.

    Instead of an SPF moisturizor, I use a NON SPF /NIGHT FIRMING cream, Thats light and NON - Comodegenic.

    Then the usaully, LOTS of water & sleep!

    ( Tue A.M. - )

    Same as Mon, No mani/ Pedi, No tweeze

    ( P.M. )

    Same As Mon

    ( Wed A.M. - )

    Same as Monday

    ( P.M. )

    I use a nuetregena micro bead exfoliator.. GREAT STUFF , HIGHLY recommended. Then I use a french green clay mask for 60 mins.
    Then moisturize with Firming night cream.

    And Pretty the same for the rest of the week.

    ( Key Notes* )

    Brush Teeth 2x a Day. ( Sonic Care / Regular T. Brush )

    Moisturize in the AM with SPF, At Night a NON SPF.

    Exfoliation with micro beads / Clay Mask 2x a Week.

    Clarisonic Facial Brush EVERYDAY AM & PM

    Teeth Bleaching Once a month ( Carbamide / Hydrogen Peroxide )

    Mani / Pedi w/ & Maintanence As Needed.

    Eyebrow Maint 2x a Week

    Hair Removal As Needed

    Water.. MINIMUM 3 Bottles a day. ( No soda pop or stuff like that )

    And prolly some more stuff that escapes me at the moment.

    But thats my routine in an nutshell!!!
