Natural Beauty Inside Out
I have a bit of a sensitive skin issue. No, I don’t have dermatitis or eczema but the skin my face turns a bit red on contact with certain ingredients and treatments. At one stage, the skin on my body got itchy quite easily too. I believe many ladies have similar issues as beauty salons I’ve visited have reported an increase in customers with sensitive skin seeking treatments. So why are there more and more people with sensitive skin if they’re not born with it or have a skin issue due to a medical condition? What’s causing our skin to become sensitive? Am I doing something to sabotage my own skin and causing it to become increasingly sensitive?
Thanks to all who have participated in the series of giveaways that I’ve held in May. So sorry I couldn’t announce the results immediately after the closing; I’ve been very busy plus it took longer to go through all the entries due to the need to tally the blog and Facebook comments/likes. Anyway, since there were three giveaways that ended around the same period and there are a few prizes to give away, let me announce all the winners in a single post today.
Recently, I retouched the roots of my hair and I didn’t opt for the regular deep hair conditioning at the salon. Instead, I decided to use the opportunity to try a DIY recipe at home. However, instead of using the hot oil hair treatment, I decided to try deep hair conditioning with coconut milk this round. I’ve read about this in many forums and ladies have reported good results using the simple ingredient. Plus, it’s so easy as only one ingredient is required.
It seems that some of the Chinese magazines are loaded full of beauty tips. No wonder they are so popular! Anyway, I was reading one from Hong Kong while at a hair salon recently and was quite pleased to find many useful and interesting hair care tips. Good thing I can read Chinese characters quite well and so I am able to understand most of the tips. Here, I’ll share five simple tips that I’ve found to be very relevant.
