Hair growth on the face
I would post a sad picture of myself a little quickly and write that I probably do not have time to publish any make-up today, packed schedule!
But when I put the picture in the computer I get a difficult vision, I knew about the problem but not that it looked so good even in the picture, I have got so much facial hair so I get worried! I know makeup, but am not an expert in other beauty areas such as e.g. hair, but maybe one of you is?
Facial hair is very common and nothing to be ashamed of, what worries me is that it has become much more in about six months, some get long (!) And it gets worse and worse. Now I am afraid that it will only continue to grow and become a real problem area.
What is happening? Can some products kind of fertilize the hair growth, or is it something I eat? Anyone know what I should change?
You see, it hangs over the lip!
Heeeelp me !!!
Loelle Rosenvatten
Rose water is a typical product that you do not think you need until you have tested it. “Vad är rosenvatten?” Many of you are thinking now, these are distilled rose petals!
Distilled water is purified water, so salts, heavy metals and such foreign substances that are found in our tap water have been removed. In short, water is distilled by boiling it and only catching the water molecules in the steam. And if you have rose petals in the water you distill, it will be rose water! (If I have understood it correctly in any case)
Rose water acts as a toner and prepares the skin for the face cream by neutralizing the pH value. It is also cooling, invigorating, slightly astringent and increases the blood supply to the skin. It can be sprayed on the face even when you have put on make-up, like a moisturizing face mist, and can also be good immediately after you have put on make-up if you have got a very powdery base, it removes the powdery feeling.
You can also use rose water in cooking, or if you need a liquid to mix things with, for example, beauty products and the like.
Loelle sells organic rose water from the city of Kalaat M´Gouna in Morocco. Costs SEK 139.
I like this very much, mainly because it is so nice to spray on the skin. The spray is perfect and gives soft tiny drops that cool the skin without it becoming uncomfortably cold. Great in the summer heat! :)
The scent maybe you can guess;) it smells of roses and Miska described it as "old man" haha. But I who do not usually like flower scents actually think that this is good, it smells so mild.
So in other words, I give a thumbs up to this, good bottle, good water and good that it is organic!
By the way, did you know that rose water is still used when building mosques? Then rose water is mixed in the mortar, so that the building smells when the sun is on. Smart! :) When I get rich and build my own house, I will do so firmly with lily of the valley, good!
Hug! :)
Do not stress before the wedding
Today, as I said, I have a bridal make-up in Älvsjö (+ 5 more make-ups) and this must be the most planned bride I have had as a customer - which inspired me to this post!
Den 4:e april fick jag ett mail av en tjej som ville boka in en brudsminkning hos mig i juni, två månader innan är en ganska vanlig tid för mig att få bokningar så jag reagerade inte först. Sedan läste jag datumet igen och fick en chock, detta var nämligen ett år sedan, alltså 2013, och när jag läste “2014” så kändes det som en evighet till dess, haha!
So she booked me a year and two months before the wedding, and now that day is here !! :)
I'm more used to stressed brides, so this will be a nice makeup job! I who once had to help a bride to paste table placement cards while she finished the bridal set haha, she was really at the last second with everything and had to answer the phone type all the time when everyone else seemed to have chaos as well.
And that's where I want to go with this post, start planning in time! If you are stressed in the weeks before the wedding, it will be visible on your skin. Dry skin, bags under the eyes, no glow, stress pimples and eczema are common skin problems that can be caused by stress, and if you are prone to getting herpes cold sores, you can assume that they will come now!
But if you start planning in time, you will avoid stress symptoms and can in the months before focus on being as good-looking as possible. Here is a little mini-beauty guide with tips on what to think about before the wedding!
Facial
If you want to do a facial, it should be done a few months before the wedding, and not too close! The skin may become unbalanced after a facial before it becomes normal / better than before.
Improve-during-the-day makeup
Även om du har en makeup artist som gör ditt smink, så behöver du ändå produkter att bättra på med under dagen. Ett transparent puder och läppglans/stift är det jag skulle se som ett “måste”.
Away with old skin cells
About 1-2 weeks before the wedding, you should clean your face thoroughly, you get such a nice natural glow if all the dead skin cells are gone. Bring water to a boil, then hold your face over the water vapor so that the pores open and clean. Then exfoliate the skin with a mild exfoliation (not too active, you do not want to get the skin unbalanced) and finish with a moisturizing face mask.
This should also be done the day before the wedding.
Beauty sleep
Beauty sleep is very important, but it can be difficult to fall asleep when you are nervous. In other words, the day before you should not treat yourself to a long morning sleep because then it will be even harder to fall asleep in the evening, it is better to be able to sleep the night before the wedding!
Home spa
The day before the wedding, you can have a home spa moment (if you have not indulged in a real spa, that is). Turn on calm music, redo the facial cleanser with the steam, take a bath / long shower, scrub the skin, scrub the feet, straighten legs and armpits, have a hair wrap and face mask, lubricate your whole body with a wonderful lotion, and above all - have a manicure session then you fix both nails, cuticles and possibly nail polish!
The morning of the wedding day
When you have woken up from your beauty sleep on the day with a big D, you should just eat a good and luxurious breakfast, do your morning routines as usual, do not stress so that you do not have time to brush your teeth or forget to bring something important. Do not lubricate yourself with sun protection factor, it can make your skin look gray in the picture. Then let the professionals take care of you in the hairdresser / make-up chair - now you just have to relax and enjoy!
Anyone more than me who is getting the urge to get married now? Hihi :)
Ful vana
Att ha en ful vana fick precis en bokstavlig betydelse… (Jag trodde förresten att man sa “ful ovana” innan jag googlade, är det bara jag som är bakom flötet eller?)
Anyway, I bite my lips, inside my mouth, both lips and cheeks, have always done it and have given up hope of succeeding. It's just that.
And when I was going to take a picture of my make-up yesterday, I started biting, and then took pictures to see what it looked like. I have, as it were, never checked myself in the mirror when I do.
Here is the result:
Handsome …………… ;)
That's how I can sit on trains and stuff, it's a reflex, I kind of do not think about it even though people are sitting opposite. Wonder what they think then!
I who was ashamed once when I fell asleep on the train, with a man sitting opposite, and woke up that I made a lot of grimaces in my sleep haha! But I'm not ashamed when I do it fully conscious;)
Have a nice evening nice ones!
