How Soon to Apply Moisturizer After Cleansing

Beauty Quickie: How soon should you apply moisturizer after cleansing your face or the rest of your skin? Aim to moisturize your skin as soon as possible, preferably within 60 seconds. After a minute dry air will literally begin to pull moisture from the skin. During winter, air tends to be even drier than other seasons which could only increase any dryness experienced. Keep skin smooth and supple by making a point to add moisture right after washing your face or showering.

De-Clump Your Lashes

Beauty Quickie: Always keep an extra set of mascara wands on hand to take the clump out of your lashes. Mascara formulas have come a long way, but still even the best ones will need a helping hand every now and then. Before your mascara completely dries take a clean mascara wand and comb through your eyelashes. Not only will this ensure that your lashes do not clump, but will create a fuller more lush eye look.

How to Get Shiny Hair!

Ever watched a hair commercial and say to yourself, “Man, I wish my hair looked like that!” Well, without all the lights, glam squad, retouching and editing magic you can get shinier, healthy locks. Unfortunately, many of the products on the market for black women will make their mane worse, not better, so taking a more natural approach to haircare is really the best way to go.

For shinier, healthier tresses you need to apply a hair mask that includes moisture and protein to make hair nice and strong. In a bowl combine coconut oil (moisture) and egg whites (protein) then heat the mixture in the microwave for half a minute. Next, apply the homemade hair mask to your hair and let it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Shampoo your hair like normal and enjoy your shiny strands!
