micro glow up part one⋆.ೃ࿔*:･🧁

in this post we'll be talking about habits and little ways in which u can improve ur health and appearance without doing anything too drastic. a micro-glow up to stay polished…💬🎀

DRY SHAMPOO ;

dry shampoo helps with smell and reducing oil and all in all just a rly super useful tool that i hope we're all taking advantage of! so to use it simply divide ur hair into sections and shake the canister before application.

make sure that u hold it at least 10-12 inches away from ur roots. and then just brush it out and voila. just get the dry shampoo that matches ur hair color. so for me i have black hair so i'd purchase a dry shampoo that is designed specifically for dark hair.

WRAP UR HAIR AT NIGHT ;

create a protective barrier around ur hair at night to prevent frizz. with things like silk wraps and bonnets etc. treat ur hair LIKE A BABY. be super gentle to it so it can be soft and moisturized. if ur hair is more coarse or thick use the dominican tubi wrap.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAMPOO ;

so theres a difference between ur everyday shampoo and a CLARIFYING shampoo. a clarifying shampoo is simply more of a deep clean so if ur using a clarifying shampoo EVERY single day you'll find that ur hair is lowkey straw-like and thats not the move.

clarifying shampoo is a super deep cleanse for ur scalp and u shouldn't be using it every single day…💬🎀

furthermore using a scalp scrub once a week or two weeks to stimulate ur scalp is rly rly wonderful. to just kind of do a deep clean of ur scalp and stimulate blood flow which can also help hair growth.

IF YOU HAVE ACNE ;

i used to have bad acne so i think im qualified to talk EXTENSIVELY on this subject but i won't make this section of the post too lengthy but i think these tips are valuable if ur struggling with acne…💬🎀

♡ invest in a pimple popping tool kit

u can literally get these off of amazon and u can learn to use them via youtube but as long as u store them properly and use them properly u can get rid of whiteheads and black heads safely and most effectively.

when doing an extraction wash ur hands and the area that ur about to extract from to make sure u have a super clean base. also make sure to soften the skin with a warm washcloth before starting. i've found that it minimizes pain.

hot tip : warm water opens pores and cold water tightens pores which is why when doing an extraction its important to use warm water and when ur done wash with cold water…💬🎀

♡ use blotting papers if u have oily skin

♡ invest in adorable and effective pimple patches

THE IMPORTANCE OF FACE MASKS ;

make sure to understand ur skin type/skin concerns before committing to a specific face masks. for example if u have more oily skin use a clay mask once or twice a week, if u have dryer skin go for a hydrating face mask. i rly rly LOVE sheet masks.

ALL ABOUT BROWS ;

wash ur brows with a gentle cleanser and make sure to keep them groomed cuz it makes ur eyes look bigger and gives u a more rejuvenated look. plus it makes u look very clean. dont forget to wash ur brows because washing them stimulates growth + prevents ingrown and painful pimples within or around ur brows.

ALL ABOUT EARS ;

DONT OVERLOOK UR EARS. make sure to clean in and around ur ears. like when ur showering just take ur finger with a little bit of gentle cleanser and just clean the shell of ur ear, the lobe, behind ur ears etc. do this on a daily basis. it literally takes 2 seconds.

and to clean ur ears DONT use a cotton swab. ik it feels rly good sometimes but what it does is just push the wax back into ur brain or whatever so instead take a cotton ball and soak it in some warm water, hydrogen peroxide and mineral oil and just tilt ur head to the side <- so that the opening of ur ear is facing up and hold for about a minute and then tilt ur head back and let the fluid drain out.

reboot your life ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚

one thing that i'm such a firm believer in, is that you have the power to close a chapter in your life and begin a new one. clearing the clutter of your life, resetting and refreshing your week and turning the page on something id like to grow from is my idea of free therapy. enjoy 🎀

DIGITAL DETOX:

take a break from social media, social media definitely has such an impact on your mind, and sometimes it's wise just to have a mini break to reset your mind and reflect. do the things that you consume online align with you? do they improve your mental health? do they give you tips? if it's not something that positively affects you, then it's probably wise to give it a break or even cut it off completely. there's no fun in feeling bad about urself, and you've got the power to change that!

CLEAN YOUR SPACE:

creating a fresh environment is a crucial part of stabilising and rebooting your life. having an untidy area literally affects you negatively in so many ways. your room reflects your mind.. clean mind = clean room. if it's overwhelming, sort it into categories, listen to your favorite playlist. it doesn't have to be a chore, make it fun.

SELF CARE:

even though self care should literally be a regular thing for you because it's so calming and definitely improves your life, it always helps to do some additional self care to relax and refresh your mind. do whatever selfcare you enjoy, personally i always keep myself hydrated, pampered with my beauty sessions - there's nothing calmer than having a bath and painting your nails, going on pinterest, meditating or having a little manifestation session.

CUT TIES:

whatevers making you so stressed and so unhappy in your life when you are the main character, needs to go. realize that when somethings upsetting you or not helping you in any way shape or form, it's time to let go. let go of old habits, the ones that are holding you back, create new ones and start fresh. build yourself from the bottom up. change your environment - if it's something like school, work or your friends, set boundaries for yourself, don't let anyone treat you less than you deserve. if a place or person drains you, explore new opportunities or distance yourself.

CREATE NEW GOALS:

additionally, cutting ties also opens a new door to create new goals for the new and improved you. what have you always wanted to do? what inspires you? do it! no ones telling you that you can't do these things but yourself, youre so so worthy of achieving your goals.

SHIFT YOUR MINDSET

i'll say it bluntly, you're a queen, no one can make you feel bad about yourself but you. affirm it, you are gorgeous, authentic, charming and so much more, you can do anything your heart desires, literally!

xxx, belle
