For The Smoothest Skin: fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish Review!

   Smooth skin is life and a good scrub will give you just that. A good scrub needs the best combination of exfoliation and hydration. A scrub with no hydrating ingredients can over exfoliate which irritate the skin, one with too much oils, soaps, or other add ons can be too hydrating but not aid in the skin turnover we want from a scrub. 

What I love the most about this scrub is how soft my skin feels, and not a super oily and tacky feeling that some leave behind. A baby smooth softness that very few scrubs give. The best part is that the feeling lasts for days. Moisturizing after is really not necessary at all! 

The best way to describe the scent is "Sweet citrus" with a hint of peppermint, its smooth and not overpowering. I got a good 4 uses out of the 7oz size container and like to use it once a week, as the last step in my shower. I love it and recommend it to anyone wanting smother, healthier, and more vibrant skin.

Wax Or Shave?

 Hi my loves on this post I want to talk about the two most used methods for hair removal and break them down to see which method id best for you. As an Esthetician I shouldn't even go over the pros of shaving vs waxing, we are told from the first day we step foot in our class to throw away our razors and don't pick it up again. I loved the idea of not shaving again because personally I hate shaving, my skin gets very irritated and itchy and I always cut myself (ouch)! 

Hola mis amores hoy quiero charlar sobre los dos metodos mas usados por nosotras las mujeres a la hora de removernos los cabellos del cuerpo. Como una Esteticista no estoy supuesta si quiera hablar sobe la razuradora ya que desde que empece la escuela nos prohibieron usarlas. Personalmente a mi no me gusta rasurarme pues siempre me irrita y me corto! 

Shaving is the removal of hair by using a razor, shaving is one of the most common and and convenient methods of hair removal. While it is painless people are not always doing it correctly and or not using the right blade for your skin type or the area that you are shaving, this and other factors could lead to skin irritation and cuts. When we shave we are only slicing the hair down to the level of the skin usually your skin feels smooth for the first day or two. 

Afeitarse es el retiro del pelo mediante el uso de una hoja de afeitar, afeitado es uno de los más comunes y convenientes métodos de depilación. Mientras que es indolora la gente no siempre lo hace correctamente y o no usando la hoja correcta para tu tipo de piel o el área que se depile, esto y otros factores podrían llevar a cortes y la irritación de la piel. Cuando afeitamos sólo estamos cortando el cabello hasta el nivel de la piel generalmente la piel se siente suave durante el primer día o dos.

Pros: 

Less expensive then shaving/ Mas economico que la depilacion con cera.

Painless/ sin dolor

Privacy of your own home/ Lo haces en la privacidad de tu casa

Exfoliation/ Exfoliacion 

Cons:

Skin Irritation/ Irritacion de la piel

Cuts/ Cortadas

Ingrown hairs/ pelos enterrados

Time consuming/ se toma su tiempo 

Only lasts a day or two/ solo dura un dia o dos

Waxing is the removal of hair by pulling it out from the root this ensures that you will not see any new hair for at least 4 to 6 week. Almost any body part can be waxed and there are many types of wax suitable for the area. Waxing can be painful and expensive which makes it not as common or convenient as shaving. 

Depilación con cera es el retiro del pelo tirando de él hacia fuera de la raíz esto garantiza que usted no verá ningún nuevo cabello para por lo menos 4 a 6 semanas. Casi cualquier parte del cuerpo puede ser encerado y hay muchos tipos de cera conveniente para el área. Depilación con cera puede ser doloroso y costoso que resulta no tan conveniente como afeitar o común.

Cons: 

Expensive/ Caro

Painful/ Doloroso

No privacy/ No hay privacidad 

Pros:

Hair free for up to 4 weeks/ Libre de cabello por hasta 4 semanas

Hair grow back thinner/ El cabello crece mas fino

With continue use hairs stop growing/ Con uso continuo el cabello no crese 

No cuts!/ Cero Cortadas!!

En la izquierda pudes ver que con la rasuradora solo cortamos el pelo, En la derecha con cera se jala el pelo desde la ruta. 

In conclusion it really comes down to your personal preference I personally prefer waxing over shaving because I have very thin sensitive skin and shaving really irritates me more. I'm also very blind and always cut myself which result in marks on my legs. I also love the idea of one day not growing hair at all which makes the pain worth standing! Whats your favorite method of hair removal? 

En conclusión realmente viene a tus preferencias personales yo personalmente prefiero depilarme sobre afeitado porque tengo la piel sensible muy delgada y afeitado realmente me mas irrita. También estoy muy gorda y siempre corté que resultan de las marcas en las piernas. También me encanta la idea de un día no ver crecer pelo en absoluto hace que el dolor valga la pena! ¿Cuál es su método favorito de depilación?

Good Luck/ Buenas Suerte! Xxx

My Favorite Beauty Tip Of The Week/ Mi Tip Favorite De La Semana!

I'm about to share with you one of the most amaizing beauty tip I have ever tried. Dry Brushing is a technique for exfoliating skin using a dry, natural bristle brush to gently brush the skin. It is also called skin brushing or body brushing. This technique not only promotes healthier skin by removing dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, but also by stimulating and increasing skin cell production, giving your skin a healthy glow all year long.  But the benefits are not just skin deep - dry brushing both increases blood flow and circulation and enhances detoxification through the skin. The benefits are so amaizing and not to mention I find it so relaxing to do. I try to take some time and do it at least ever other night. Dry brushing can be done every day if you want! 

The Benefits   

• Removing dead skin cells and opening pores to allow them to “breath” and absorb nutrients. Which leaves you with skin that not only feels softer but it's also healthier. 
• Stimulated lymphatic and circulatory systems: boosting your immune system and increasing circulation to help detoxify.
• Stress relief: increasing your blood flow reduces stressed areas of the body and stimulates nerve endings in your skin which in turn rejuvenates your nervous system.
• Reduced cellulite: increasing blood circulation to the skin helps break down and releases toxins that cause cellulite in legs and hips.
• Helps tone your skin, specially after weight loss and or pregnancy. 

Who is this treatment not good for?  I would suggest that if you have severe skin irritation (acne, rash, eczema, open sore/cut, etc.) To ask you dermatologist if this is right for you. 

How To:

  I Start at my feet making long sweeps,  moving up the legs on both sides, then work from the arms toward my chest. On my stomach, I direct the brush counterclockwise, and for my back a brush sideways like towards the stomach. And, I don't brush too hard: Skin should be stimulated and invigorated but not irritated or red. I like to avoid going back and forth and scrubing too hard.   

Note: There are various suggestions on the web on how to Dry brush, but the one thing they all agree on is to always start from your feet working your way to your heart.

I hope that you guys try this out and tell me how it works for you! 

Good Luck! Xxx

Estoy a punto de compartir con ustedes uno de los trucos de belleza más increiblez que he probado. Cepillado en seco es una técnica para la piel con un exfoliante, cepillo de cerda natural seco para cepillar suavemente la piel. Esta técnica no sólo promueve una piel más sana, eliminando las células muertas de la piel en la superficie de la piel, sino también por estimular y aumentar la producción de células de la piel, dando a su piel un brillo saludable todo el año. Pero los beneficios no son sólo superficial - cepillado en seco tanto aumenta el flujo sanguíneo y la circulación y mejora la desintoxicación a través de la piel. Los beneficios son tan buenos y ni hablar de lo  relajante que es de hacer. Trato de tomar algún tiempo y hacerlo por lo menos entre noche. El cepillado en seco se puede hacer todos los días si quieres!

Los Beneficios:

• El remover las células muertas de la piel y abrir los poros para que puedan "respirar" y absorber los nutrientes. ¿Qué te deja con la piel que no sólo se siente más suave pero también es saludable.
• Estimulado sistemas linfático y circulatorio: fortalecer el sistema inmunológico y aumenta la circulación para ayudar a desintoxicar.
• Alivio del estrés: el aumento de su flujo de sangre disminuye zonas estresadas del cuerpo y estimula las terminaciones nerviosas en la piel que a su vez rejuvenece el sistema nervioso.
• Reducción de la celulitis: el aumento de la circulación sanguínea en la piel ayuda a descomponer y libera toxinas que causan la celulitis en las piernas y las caderas.
• Ayuda a tonificar la piel, especialmente después de la pérdida de peso y la o el embarazo.

¿Para quien no es bueno este tratamiebto? Yo diría que si tiene irritación severa de la piel (acné, erupciones, eczema, abierto corte dolor /, etc) para pedirle dermatólogo si éste es el adecuado para usted.

Cómo Hacer:

  Empiezo a mis pies, haciendo barridos largos, moviendo las piernas en ambos lados, entonces trabajo de los brazos hacia el pecho. En el estómago, dirijo el cepillo en sentido antihorario. Y, no se cepilla con demasiada fuerza: la piel debe ser estimulado y fortalecido, pero no irritada o enrojecida. Me gusta evitar que van y vienen y scrubing demasiado rudo. 

Nota: Hay varias sugerencias en la web sobre la manera de secar cepillo, pero lo único que todos están de acuerdo en es empezar siempre desde los pies a trabajar su camino a tu corazón.

Espero que ustedes lo prueben y me digan cómo funciona para usted!

Buenas suerte! Xxx
