June Beauty Tips

Here is a list of the June Beauty Tips . . .

Conditioning your scalp when you have thinning hair can clog pores and inhibit hair growth, instead condition just the ends of your hair.

For thinning hair, hold your head upside down and gently massage the scalp once or twice a day to increase blood flow to hair roots.

Use a volumizing shampoo to make thinner hair look thicker and have more body.

Take a multivitamin (with folic acid) with breakfast each day to ensure thinning hair is not caused by a nutritional deficiency. Folic acid helps hair, skin and nails to grow stronger.

Do not wear hair styles that pull hair too tightly or can cause breakage to avoid thinning hair.

Nioxin products can be effective in treating thinning hair.

To keep hair healthy, massage your scalp for a few minutes every night before you go to bed to stimulate blood flow to the roots. (Or have your significant other do it for you, it feels great!)

Always rinse hair with cool water after you shampoo. It makes the cuticle lie flat and your hair will be shinier.

Be gentle with the ends of your hair when you shampoo as scrubbing the ends dries them out.

Before swimming in a pool or the ocean, apply conditioner to the ends of your hair to protect them.

Always blot your hair dry after shampooing, rubbing your hair can cause split ends.

When applying mascara, start at the base of your lashes and move the wand gently back and forth as you glide it toward the ends. This will help separate the lashes, and make them appear thicker and longer.

For best results to create thick and long lashes, use two types of mascara. Apply one for length first, and then apply one to thicken eyelashes.

Use a spoolie to separate wet lashes after you have applied mascara to eliminate any clumping.

Make your own spoolie by completely washing a wand from an old tube of mascara and let dry before using.

For great lashes, use a clear primer first and then apply your mascara.

Use an eyelash curler before or after you apply mascara to make your eyes look larger.

A water-based foundation with a sheer, satin finish will work best for most all skin types.

For mature or dry skin an oil-based matte foundation works best for your skin type.

Use an oil-free foundation with a matte or satin finish for oily skin.

A tinted moisturizer with a sheer finish works best for normal, dry or mature skin because it provides light coverage.

Mineral makeup foundation with a matte finish is usually good for all skin types. It should be used sparingly on older skin to avoid a heavy look.
