]]>If you’re wearing makeup, you need to make sure that your method for removing it is as gentle as possible. Choose a high-quality micellar water designed for sensitive skin and eyes, and soak a cotton pad in this before patting this over your eye. Don’t forget to use q-tips to gently ease off any residue once you’ve used the cotton pad—and avoid harsh rubbing and scrubbing at all costs.
Sometimes the area around your eyes and your eyes themselves are feeling sore and sensitive due to a lack of moisture. Try using some soothing eye drops each morning, to see if this makes a difference. Some eye drops can also tackle seasonal allergies, so it may be worth investigating whether this could be one of the causes of your sore eyes.
Eyeshadow brush with yesterday’s product being used to apply today’s makeup? Mascara wand that hasn’t been changed for several months? When it comes to cleaning and refreshing our makeup products, we can all be guilty of forgetting to do this on a regular enough basis. However, if your eyes are reacting by getting sore, red and itchy, this is a clear sign that your brushes and products need an overhaul. Get out that brush cleanser and chuck out any eye makeup that’s more than six months old.

]]>This is really easy to do, yet creates a really pretty and unique look. Just section off the front bits of your hair on either side of your face. Braid each side, trying to match them up as best you can. Tie the ends of these, making them as loose or tight as you like.
Most people know the idea of the half-up half-down look. Use this as a starter, and then bring the top half back and turn it into a plait. This will look like the usual hairstyle from the front but with an added layer of intricacy to the back.
Section off some hair from the top, on one side of your head. Braid this and then pin it back so it sits along the side of your head. This is an easy and subtle way to play around with different styles.

]]>Wyn Beauty was six years in the making, but Williams had dreamed about launching it long before that. She struggled to find products that fit her at the very start of her tennis journey, especially when traveling to different countries because brands that offered a wide range of different colors were very rare.
“When I would travel to places 20 years ago before 40 shades of foundation existed, I had to be the biggest advocate for my makeup. I couldn’t rely on makeup artists to have my color, and I had to learn how to do my own makeup,” she told People.
The idea for Wyn Beauty was born, and she envisioned it as a makeup line for everyone, while also putting an emphasis on the active lifestyle. She wanted to craft a line of high-performance products, and eventually introduce a range of mascaras, eyeliners, eye pencils, brow pencils, lip serums, lipsticks, concealers, and hydrating SPF skin tints that can help you create long-lasting, radiant makeup looks.

]]>Gua Sha is particularly effective at relieving muscle tension and pain. Gently scraping the skin promotes better blood circulation and oxygen flow to the affected area, helping to release knots and tightness in the muscles.
The scraping action of Gua Sha not only helps with muscle tension but also enhances blood circulation and lymphatic drainage. This improved circulation can aid in the removal of waste products and toxins from the body.
This might be a surprise, but the relaxation and stress reduction offered by Gua Sha can contribute to better sleep quality. By incorporating it into your bedtime routine, you may find it easier to fall asleep and experience more restful slumber.
Finally, Gua Sha is widely used for facial rejuvenation. By promoting blood circulation and lymphatic drainage in the face, it can reduce puffiness, and dark circles, and promote a more youthful appearance.

]]>Formaldehyde is a chemical considered carcinogenic (cancer-causing) but while this is an ingredient in a Brazilian Blowout, it comes in a very small quantity that is unlikely to be harmful. Still, if you’re worried, there are other hair-smoothing treatments such as keratin shampoos that do not contain this ingredient.
If you love your natural hair texture and volume, then think twice before getting a Brazilian Blowout. This is because some natural curls don’t return to their natural shape after this treatment.
Typically, a Brazilian Blowout lasts for three to four months. Still, this is not a hard and fast rule and will largely depend on how your hair reacts. Ultimately, it’s important to consider whether you really want the sleek look from a Brazilian Blowout before getting it done.

]]>While it may seem obvious, cleansing your face in the morning is the first step in maintaining your skin. This is because you can’t put beauty products on dirty skin and expect the best results. Make sure to buy a skin cleanser that is suited to your skin type so that you don’t end up with any damage.
This is the point when you apply the treatment to your skin that will eliminate spots and dead skin cells and rejuvenate your skin. Consider using a serum with Vitamin C as this helps to protect you against the sun.
Even after you’ve eliminated any flaws, keeping your face hydrated is key in order to protect it against further damage. Make sure to apply a moisturizer for your skin tone all year round.

]]>The post 3 Ingredients to Avoid in Face Moisturizers appeared first on LUX & LUSH.
]]>While the idea of applying a sweetly scented moisturizer might seem appealing, fragrances are among the top skin irritants. Synthetic fragrances can contain hundreds of chemical compounds, many of which can cause allergic reactions, dermatitis, and other skin irritations. Even natural fragrances, like essential oils, can be harsh on the skin when used inappropriately.
Parabens are a group of synthetic preservatives widely used in cosmetics and skin care products to prolong shelf life by preventing microbial growth. However, some studies suggest that parabens can penetrate the skin and interfere with hormone function. While the evidence is not conclusive, many people choose to err on the side of caution and select paraben-free moisturizers.
Not all alcohols are bad for the skin, but certain types, particularly simple alcohols like ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, and denatured alcohol, can be incredibly drying and irritating. These alcohols can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation.

]]>There are several popular and safe at-home eyebrow tints out there, so find one with the right shade for you (don’t go too dark at first, as the change will feel like a shock) and give it a try. These typically take between five to ten minutes to work, and they should leave you with brows that look darker, thicker, and more defined.
There are many brow gels out there to choose from, and they range in shades from clear to black. Depending on the size of the brush, the technique can take some time to perfect (start with less product on the brush than you think you’ll need), but once you’ve got the hang of it this is a two-minute makeup application that can hold your brows in the shape you want all day.
Don’t forget that your brows need some love and care, too. Opt for a brow gel with some hydrating ingredients in it, or take time to moisturize your brows in the evening. This will soften the hairs and keep them in top-notch condition, leading to glossy, thicker brows over time.

]]>This season, blush is really upping its game, and you want to aim for a sleek, juicy look on your cheeks. Not only does this scream healthy, hydrated skin, but it’s also an easy way to create a full-on beauty look without using lots of fiddly techniques. The key to this is to use lots of moisturizer, followed by plenty of cream blush.
What better way to celebrate the brighter, lighter new season than with some serious pretty floral-inspired nail art? Whether you opt for dainty petals or bright, bold flowers, this is the perfect way to mark the end of winter and the start of spring.
It’s time to reach for those false eyelashes, as huge, fluttering lashes were big news on all of the spring/ summer 24 runways. If you’re not feeling confident enough to apply your own, ask for some lash extensions at the salon – not only will this save you the hassle of applying them, but they will also last for up to three weeks.
