10 Feminine Grooming Tips No One Ever Taught You, But You Might Want To Know
Grooming correctly isn’t just superficial or vain. The way that you look and feel are often connected. If you’re confident that your hair looks glossy and gorgeous or your skin is glowing, it’s not a stretch to say that you might also feel more confident facing the world as well. Not only that, but your hair and skin can also tell you things about your overall health. Even if you think you have grooming down pat, there might be a few things that you could still learn.
1Water Matters More Than You Think
In this case, I’m not talking about how much or what kind of water you’re drinking, but the water that’s used on your body. “Washing your face or body in hard water can lead to skin havoc,” Mary Irwin, a celebrity and editorial makeup artist, tells Romper by email. “Hard water contains calcium, magnesium, and iron, which can lead to dry skin. These minerals can also dry on the skin, which leads to clogged pores, flaking, and itching. A water filtration system is your best bet to fight this. If you can’t get one for your whole house, you should definitely get one for your shower.”
Plus, Irwin also says that the humidity of the air is important to consider as well. Running a humidifier at home can help ensure that you get enough moisture.
2Printer Paper Can Be Awfully Useful
If you struggle with how or where to part your hair, you might be surprised to learn that a sheet of printer paper might be able to help. Glamour reported that a hairstylist once taught the staff there to hold a sheet of paper up to their faces, first covering one side and then shifting it over to the other. The half of your face that you prefer is the side you should part your hair on so that your hair falls toward your less-preferred side.
3Dry Brush Before Showering Or Shaving
4Keep Some Sunscreen Wipes On Hand
Sunscreen is super-important (which probably comes as no surprise), but if you’re often on the go or forget to put on the cream itself, wipes can be a good option. Total Beauty noted that sunscreen wipes that provide protection from harmful ultraviolet rays make applying sunscreen quick and easy. Stash some in your bag, a suitcase, and elsewhere so that your skin never has to go without.
