Picture it: a relaxing bath for your strands. Simply take a strand of clean hair and drop it into a bowl of water. Now, observe. Does it float on the surface, chilling like a poolside sunbather? Congratulations, you might have low porosity hair. Does it sink after a while, like it's diving into a deep-sea exploration? High porosity might be your hair's thing. And if it hangs out somewhere in between, you're in the medium porosity club.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Raleway;">2.

Get ready to feel the texture of your hair. Run a strand of hair between your fingers. If it feels smooth, like sliding on ice, it could be low porosity. If it feels a bit bumpy, medium porosity might be your vibe. And if it feels rough, like catching on tiny bumps, high porosity might be the star of the show.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Raleway;">3. The Absorption Test:</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Now, let's move on to the absorption test. This one involves observing how quickly your hair takes in moisture. Spritz some water on a small section of your hair and watch what happens. If it beads up and takes its sweet time absorbing, you might be looking at low porosity. If it soaks up the water almost immediately, high porosity could be in the cards. And if it absorbs gradually, giving you a bit of a Goldilocks vibe, hello, medium porosity!</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 600;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Raleway;">4. The Product Experiment:</span></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Last but not least, it's time for the product experiment. Try applying a leave-in conditioner or styling product to a small section of your hair. Notice how your hair responds. If it seems to sit on the surface, low porosity may be the answer. If it soaks it up like a sponge, high porosity could be the star of the show. And if it absorbs with a balance of enthusiasm and moderation, medium porosity might be your hair's sweet spot.</span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Armed with the results of these fun and easy tests, you're well on your way to understanding your hair's porosity level. So, go ahead, enjoy this playful exploration, and get ready to tailor your hair care routine to meet your hair's unique needs. Your hair is a masterpiece, and it's time to treat it like one! 🚀💁♀️</span></p><div style="background-color: white; color: #22211f; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #22211f; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #22211f; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Embrace Your Inner AfroDeity</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #22211f; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;">Leilu</span></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #22211f; font-family: Raleway, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; letter-spacing: 1px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></p><p style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgba(69,89,164,.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 transparent; --tw-shadow: 0 0 transparent; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: #374151; font-size: 16px; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; white-space-collapse: preserve;"><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></p>AfroDeityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567538890349479202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140916896503695823.post-47358849148928697912024-01-30T02:57:00.000-08:002024-01-30T02:57:24.687-08:00Unlocking the Secrets of Your Hair: A Friendly Introduction to Hair Porosity<div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQMIzZ1Bi7qTo6YuNy0pJn5cmpFUQIBN6k_xPFLpZIyUUBTLejgitJTmaH9Gy6cR6eamuKatH-e5Nvh32g2Ie1-vxkozMyrtUOClKy9Lz0BIBKIGLf-lllTYJkIxkQQ6saOWGQosP3UeeJRJfpo2-JKPAuLKaJUeUYqi-0zBLdveNqcbXzvdIIyilRD5s/s560/Introduction%20to%20Hair%20Porosity.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="560" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQMIzZ1Bi7qTo6YuNy0pJn5cmpFUQIBN6k_xPFLpZIyUUBTLejgitJTmaH9Gy6cR6eamuKatH-e5Nvh32g2Ie1-vxkozMyrtUOClKy9Lz0BIBKIGLf-lllTYJkIxkQQ6saOWGQosP3UeeJRJfpo2-JKPAuLKaJUeUYqi-0zBLdveNqcbXzvdIIyilRD5s/w630-h354/Introduction%20to%20Hair%20Porosity.png" width="630" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Raleway;"><br /></span></div>Hello lovely AfroDeities, <br /><br />Today I plan to demystify a topic that might sound a bit technical but holds the key to your hair's happiness – hair porosity. Its a topic I've really struggled with getting right and so I thought as usually I would jot down my feeling and thought on the topic here.<br /><br /><br />We're diving into the wonderful world of understanding your hair a little better, making it a journey of self-discovery and fabulous locks. <br /><br /><br /><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">So what's this Hair Porosity Thing?</span></b><br /><br />Okay, let's start with the basics. Hair porosity is like your hair's own VIP pass to the moisture party. It's about how well your hair can absorb and hold onto that much-needed hydration. Picture the cuticle—the outer layer of your hair—as a set of tiny scales. Depending on whether these scales lay flat, pop up a bit, or lift up like they're dancing at a concert, your hair will behave differently.<br /><br />Understanding hair porosity is like discovering the secret sauce for a customized hair care routine. It's like giving your hair the exact love it craves.<br /><b><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Why Should You Care About Hair Porosity?</span></b><br /><br />Now, you might wonder, "Why is this important? Does my hair throw a party with moisture and not invite me?" Well, not exactly, but knowing your hair's porosity level can solve a lot of those pesky hair issues—like dryness, struggles with keeping moisture in, or dealing with products that just don't want to cooperate.<br /><br />Different porosity levels mean different needs. Low porosity hair might be a bit picky about letting moisture in, while high porosity hair might be all too eager to let it escape. Knowing your hair's porosity is like having the insider's guide to giving it exactly what it needs.<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>How to Figure Out Your Hair's Porosity</b></span><br /><br />So, here comes the fun part—how do you figure out what your hair's porosity level is? Don't worry; we've got you covered.

With the right approach, you can nurture your locks, enhance their natural texture, and promote overall hair wellness. AfroDeity is here to guide you through the essential steps to build a personalised and effective hair care routine that will leave your hair looking fabulous.<br /><br /><b>Step 1: Identify Your Hair Type and Needs</b><div><b></b>Understanding your hair type is crucial as it determines the specific care it requires. Are you dealing with tightly coiled curls, loose waves, or something in between?<div><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []" dir="auto">Furthermore, recognising the characteristics of your hair, such as porosity, density, and thickness. can help prevent damage caused by using inappropriate products or styling techniques. Different types of hair require different levels of moisture, protein treatments, and heat protection. By knowing exactly what your hair needs, you can avoid unnecessary damage and promote its overall health.</p><br /><b>Step 2: Cleanse and Clarify </b></div><div>Start your routine with a gentle cleansing. Choose sulfate-free shampoos or opt for co-washing (using a conditioner to cleanse the hair). Cleansing removes dirt, product buildup, and excess oils, preparing your hair for further treatment. </div><div><p data-pm-slice="1 1 []" dir="auto">Occasionally clarifying your hair is also worth considering. Clarifying treatments help remove stubborn residue from styling products or hard water minerals that can weigh down your strands or dull their appearance. By incorporating this step into your routine every few weeks or as needed, you can ensure that your hair remains fresh and vibrant.</p><br /><b>Step 3: Condition and Hydrate</b></div><div>Conditioning is a vital step in any hair care routine, especially for natural hair. Look for deep conditioners or hair masks that provide intense hydration and nourishment. Apply them generously from roots to ends, focusing on the ends where hair tends to be drier. Consider using a wide-tooth comb to distribute the product evenly and detangle your hair gently.</div><div><br /><b>Step 4: Moisturise and Seal</b></div><div><b></b>Moisture is essential to maintain natural hair health. After conditioning, apply a leave-in conditioner or moisturiser to keep your strands hydrated. Look for ingredients like aloe vera, shea butter, or glycerin, which help to lock in moisture. Seal in the moisture with natural oils like coconut oil, jojoba oil, or argan oil. This step helps to prevent moisture loss and promotes hair elasticity.<br /><br /><b>Step 5: Protective Styling</b></div><div> Consider incorporating protective hairstyles into your routine. Styles like braids, twists, or updos help minimise manipulation, reduce breakage, and protect your hair from environmental damage. Remember to moisturise and oil your scalp regularly while wearing protective styles to maintain a healthy scalp.<br /><br /><b>Step 6: Avoid Heat and Minimise Manipulation</b></div><div><b> </b>Excessive heat and frequent styling can damage natural hair. Whenever possible, embrace your natural texture and limit the use of heat styling tools like flat irons and curling wands. It's important to prioritise the health of our locks by embracing our natural texture whenever possible.</div><div><br /></div><div>Instead of relying solely on heat-based styling methods, consider exploring heat-free alternatives that can still achieve stunning results. Techniques such as braid-outs, twist-outs, or bantu knots offer a range of beautiful and versatile styles without subjecting your hair to excessive heat.</div><div> Minimise combing or brushing your hair when dry and opt for finger-detangling or wide-tooth combs to prevent unnecessary breakage.</div><div><br /><b>Step 7: Regular Trims and Maintenance</b></div><div>To keep your hair looking its best, schedule regular trims to remove split ends and prevent breakage. Trimming every 8-12 weeks can help maintain healthy hair length and promote overall hair growth. Additionally, regularly moisturise and care for your scalp to ensure a healthy foundation for your hair.<br /><br /><br /><div>Building an effective hair care routine is a journey of self-discovery and understanding. By tailoring your routine to your hair's unique needs and following these essential steps, you can achieve healthy, vibrant, and beautiful natural hair. Remember to be patient, experiment with different products and techniques, and most importantly, embrace and celebrate the natural beauty of your afrodeity hair.</div><div><br /></div><div>Embrace Your Inner AfroDeity</div><div>Leilu</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div></div>AfroDeityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567538890349479202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140916896503695823.post-37338701091872317422022-03-31T07:20:00.012-07:002022-04-01T00:28:10.174-07:00Allergen Neutral Skincare with Oodee<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZLUtk7uOzEQJym1_2S0shZsv5incedM3_Z-DzI31ApGQs_hPaoSYn9_DD4ZFoHxVL70Nmr9Lf-fE5uzs9h7TISRGNZliHp4SdSKEPUJGAqsuJIBp8Ak40wgoeAn6Ro_RPGacZT7WZcSMp0V6eqanZBvmvqZv7Cmp3Kh9hbHBS29eS7ttwswn_a2l/s560/Allergen%20Neutral%20Skincare%20blog%20with%20Oodee.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="560" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZLUtk7uOzEQJym1_2S0shZsv5incedM3_Z-DzI31ApGQs_hPaoSYn9_DD4ZFoHxVL70Nmr9Lf-fE5uzs9h7TISRGNZliHp4SdSKEPUJGAqsuJIBp8Ak40wgoeAn6Ro_RPGacZT7WZcSMp0V6eqanZBvmvqZv7Cmp3Kh9hbHBS29eS7ttwswn_a2l/w640-h360/Allergen%20Neutral%20Skincare%20blog%20with%20Oodee.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;">I've written a little about several skin problems I've had over the years and as such I try to stay away from any allergens that might trigger said skin issues, using as many natural products as I can find, but this hasn't been easy. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span>Enter <a href="http://oodee.com" target="_blank">Oodee</a></span><span>, a new brand on the market that is set to change the way we think about skincare with their Allergen Neutral™ </span><span>formula.

A beautiful foamer which is light, non-drying and gentle on the skin. This comes in at only £24. I bought a <a href="https://oodee.com/products/bundle-product" target="_blank">3 Step Phenomenal Edit Bundle </a>to try out all the products, and the foamer by far is my favourite. Maybe because finding a decent cleanser is what I find most difficult. I use it after makeup remover or just for my regular routine cleanse at the end of the day.</span></span></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica;"><br /></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHCyC9M8W8EUrkb02zE7cUa5loxHiDnBKS7e0-QkmcEfbs401u7mM1s-vtl_SXsiprTtG6Su5Gl5NptZXBtz3bMxNklt0mL01NP8gI5Tay_c3fNUA7D9YSWuxp1UCmxZRlalifKeAuoWWBHjaH-pxrIwmRqZBsbDB7wIkrUQx4HWTQ78F-e2Qk_agV/s1030/Oodee-bundle-products.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><img border="0" data-original-height="718" data-original-width="1030" height="446" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHCyC9M8W8EUrkb02zE7cUa5loxHiDnBKS7e0-QkmcEfbs401u7mM1s-vtl_SXsiprTtG6Su5Gl5NptZXBtz3bMxNklt0mL01NP8gI5Tay_c3fNUA7D9YSWuxp1UCmxZRlalifKeAuoWWBHjaH-pxrIwmRqZBsbDB7wIkrUQx4HWTQ78F-e2Qk_agV/w640-h446/Oodee-bundle-products.png" width="640" /></span></a></div></div><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3;">You too can try their special brand of skincare at <a href="http://www.oodee.com.">www.oodee.com.</a> There are lots of reviews from happy customers, industry experts and press outlets.</span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.3;"><br /></span></span></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Embrace Your Inner AfroDeity </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;">Leilu</span></p>AfroDeityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567538890349479202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140916896503695823.post-42025250701984486782022-03-11T09:15:00.012-08:002022-03-11T09:26:34.298-08:00Shea Butter at the Body Shop<p><span style="text-align: justify;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3EQRivY7jlXK3jHUeVS6vHCuZHGYwaDSZyG3b81iUjRNAKYCL6tvzUrvy1Uj4GMu68fZTCCsxcFaJsG6O0mv0vj-DTf-hVat61S4mEobfqwspIi-DJrXycpnrkdl3Hy4C8MvRVuBv4oB4DxaBeQzHRjHOGx23LoXvQOWCjGlsovtUXhMxGEq4T1gu=s1300" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="751" data-original-width="1300" height="370" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh3EQRivY7jlXK3jHUeVS6vHCuZHGYwaDSZyG3b81iUjRNAKYCL6tvzUrvy1Uj4GMu68fZTCCsxcFaJsG6O0mv0vj-DTf-hVat61S4mEobfqwspIi-DJrXycpnrkdl3Hy4C8MvRVuBv4oB4DxaBeQzHRjHOGx23LoXvQOWCjGlsovtUXhMxGEq4T1gu=w640-h370" width="640" /></a></div><br />Hello lovely AfroDeities, <p></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I thought I would write about my latest in-store/online find: the Shea Butter products at the Body Shop.

The cold weather has a habit of drying out our skin and we don’t notice until it is too late. Make sure that you moisturise daily to keep your skin looking fresh and clear. Make sure that you are using the right one for your skin to help it stay clear as the wrong moisturiser can make your face break out in spots.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Sunscreen</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Just because it is the winter doesn’t mean that you should abandon using sunscreen. The winter sun can be just as harsh as the summer sun. However, it can be even worse for our skin as the light can be reflected off the snow or surfaces that are wet from the rain. Always wear sunscreen, and if you can get your moisturiser or foundation with an SPF, then this is even better. And, don’t forget, sun damage is one of the main causes of wrinkles so never skip your SPF.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Stay Hydrated</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The last thing that you want to do on a cold winter morning is to drink down a cold glass of water but you still </span><a href="https://lattelindsay.com/dear-diary/i-drank-nothing-but-water-for-a-week-to-see-what-would-happen/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">need to hydrate</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. Herbal teas are a great alternative, especially if you can add some yummy honey for some extra boosts for your skin. If you are not a fan of drinking water, check out some of the new herbal infusions that you can add to your water to make it taste better. Although, if you are wanting something hot to drink, stay away from the coffee as caffeine can dry your skin out. </span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Avoid Extreme Cold</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If there is one bonus that has come out of working from home, it is that you don’t have to go out in the cold and get a face full of winter chill. The extreme temperature changes that come from leaving your house and going outside can cause your skin to change and dry out. Just because it is cold doesn’t mean that water isn’t evaporating from your skin. The extreme cold can cause your skin to dry out massively so make sure that you bundle up and protect your skin from the elements.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Wash your Face</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This should go without saying but a lot of people don’t wash their faces at the end of the day. After you have been out and about, you should </span><a href="https://www.aad.org/public/everyday-care/skin-care-basics/care/face-washing-101" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">wash your face</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> to remove the dirt and makeup that is on your face. After you have washed your face, make sure that you add some moisturiser to ensure that your skin is rehydrated again. The trick with washing your face in the winter is to use warm water, not hot. Some people use water that is too hot and it damages the skin so try to keep it a bit cooler.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Don’t Use Soap</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the back of the last point, we would like to remind everyone not to use soap on their face, especially during the winter. The formulas in most soaps are very drying and can cause sores on your skin. If you are going to use a bar of soap, make sure that it has been formulated for face washing to minimise the damage. Ideally, you should be using a face wash to remove the grime and makeup but a decent bar of soap will do.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">No Tanning Beds</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This might not apply to everyone reading this, but If you are a person who likes to use sunbeds or likes to lie in the sun during the summertime, now is the time to ditch that habit. As a general rule, tanning beds are bad news for your skin as they can cause wrinkles and skin cancer. Give your skin a break and protect it from the UV rays. If you can’t seem to leave them alone, try using a <b>self-tanner</b> to make your skin glow and shimmer rather than subject it to harsh UV rays.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Save Time - Use Overnight Treatments</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are pressed for time, you might not have a chance to invest in a huge beauty routine to protect your skin. In this case, you will need to use an overnight treatment to make sure that your skin is being repaired. This can be as simple as falling asleep with a sheet face mask on and removing it the next morning. Only do this if it is a moisturising mask and not a refining one as you could end up with a skin burn. And yes, we know a lot of them say to leave on for 20 minutes but there have been many a night that we have fallen asleep with one on and woken up with it still there the next morning. Just choose your sheet mask wisely.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 6pt; margin-top: 18pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Save Energy - Turn Down the Heating</span></span></h2><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It might be tempting to turn the heating up but this can have a terrible effect on your skin. If you can, dial the heating back a little bit and have your home a little bit cooler. If you can’t do this, try and use a humidifier to add some moisture to the air. Our home heating has a habit of drying out our skin. But this isn’t the only place, your car is an even bigger culprit. If you can, try and keep the heating down low there too as we have noticed it can dry your skin out in no time. Try using a hat and gloves when you are driving to help keep you warmer. But if you start shaking with the cold, you definitely need to dial it up a few degrees.</span></p><br /></span>AfroDeityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567538890349479202noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140916896503695823.post-12629540816480657352021-03-19T08:48:00.001-07:002021-03-19T08:48:45.431-07:00Fresh Looks That Make You Seem Ten Years Younger<p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">We tend to think that aging is a natural process, governed by the laws of biology. It’s a ticking clock that runs down every day until we finally pass on. </span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-2800d6b5-7fff-1400-d2e4-ecc6f80346e0"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">But the more you investigate the topic, the more you discover that this way of viewing it just isn’t accurate. It’s not a deterministic process but rather something that we express as time goes by. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 377px; overflow: hidden; width: 567px;"><img height="377" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/NMJRvbqdOLul9yeO4t6orIwyqfAF8fNUE4lXm64V_6vKnG6S5-O0IUtlxbO65SGDJjwx-3lMn-auyz_g7Zqk06sPQaWPHh1vBbWHOvScHfyQhrMiWNktYK8WU6GpgeDnu07gx14Q" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="567" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/portrait-photo-of-woman-wearing-black-tank-top-4668557/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Pexels - CC0 License</span></a></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This view of aging seems a little strange when you first hear about it. We’re so used to the inevitability of it that the idea that you could somehow do something about it is offensive to our senses. But that’s actually the scientific and lived truth of the matter. How we age is very much a matter under our control. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are so many </span><a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/anti-aging/tips/g2154/125-ways-to-look-young-feel-great/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ways that you can look younger</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. And it all begins in the body itself. How you feel about your life, prospects and present self is possibly the most important thing you can do. The mind slowly transforms itself into the body so that, over time, you actually wind up looking how you feel on the outside. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You already probably know this great truth intuitively. Think about the last time you went away on vacation and had a ball of a time. When you came back, everyone told you how revitalised and fresh you looked. You just chalked it up to the sun and sand. But it was actually something more profound. When you went away, you got back in touch with life itself. You temporarily left the heaviness of your regular life behind and simply enjoyed yourself. In other words, your mental state had a physical effect on the body. </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now imagine if you could remain in that same mode of thinking not just for your break, but the whole year. Think about how different you could look and feel by the end of it.

Every time you see yourself in the mirror, it reminds you of somebody in an earlier decade of life. That, in turn, actually changes the perceptions that you have of yourself. And you start unconsciously treating yourself as a more youthful person. It comes out in the way you walk, hold yourself, and the challenges in life that you’re willing to take on. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Treat Your Hands</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have you ever noticed that people’s hands seem to give their age away? Well, that’s because the hands have to do more work than anything else in the body. They’re continually moving and clasping. And the skin on them has to endure that harshest of treatments. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Looking after your hands involves reducing inflammation in your body and using plenty of natural, nourishing hand cream to keep the skin supple. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The best ingredients include things like coconut oil and anti-inflammatory herbs. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Smooth Your Neck</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The neck and decolletage areas are among the first places that start aging on the body.

The wind, sun, hot or cold all touches your face before anything else. There are so many ways that you need to look at caring for your face before any other body area - especially when you are living in extreme climate conditions. The way in which you care for your skin depends very much on the type of skin that you have. Someone with oily skin will care for their face differently from someone with dry skin, and it's important that you know the best way that you should be </span><a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2020/06/confidence-fake-it-till-you-make-it.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">caring for your face</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.</span></p><span id="docs-internal-guid-3ad94f48-7fff-5ee8-07a3-f3509088845f"><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Your skin, your eyes and even the skin on your lips needs to be hydrated and well taken care of.

Cleansing, toning and moisturising - it's all you have been told, right? You can keep it so simple when you choose to find a good cleanser to cleanse the skin, but there's no need to choose a designer cleanser - you can get one from the pharmacy or beauty store that'll do exactly what it needs to do. Don't use soap as it can dry out the skin, but water and even </span><a href="https://www.elle.com/uk/beauty/skin/g27527110/best-cleansing-milk/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">cleansing milks</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> will prevent your skin drying out. Use a toner to ensure that your pores are cleaned out and then add the right moisturiser to your skin to finish the trifecta.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Exfoliation. You don't need to do this every single day, but you will make a massive difference to your skin when you exfoliate a couple of times per week. Use a good exfoliation product and make sure that your scrub doesn't have tiny plastic balls in it: you'd do the environment a favour to avoid them. Know your skin, though, as you may have the skin type that will need it more than twice a week.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Moisturise. Your face requires hydration, and the best way that you can do that is with the correct one for your skin. When your skin feels tight or looks flaky, it means that it's dehydrated and really needs some love from you! You can choose to go natural with an oil for your skin instead, and coconut oil is a favourite for many! Whatever you do, make sure that your moisturiser has a good SPF. No matter where you are from or the tone of your skin, you need to ensure that it's sun protected at all times.</span></p></li></ul><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You need to ensure that your skin is looked after, especially if you are out in the fresh air a lot. The more protection you can offer it, the better hydrated it'll be!</span></p><br /></span>

Here are some of the ways that you are going to be able to look after your skin well:</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 491px; overflow: hidden; width: 328px;"><img alt="Crop gentle African American female with closed eyes and clean face enjoying cosmetic procedure for smoothing and moisturizing skin under eyes and removing dark circles" height="491" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/q-rrEZnPtlxSy9LC1lV6tUQ2D2Ma8PRlO8w57Bpyh3mdewe85-iJzRrcm_fV2RuN2FuL4_CmJkse__petuPwrDGwOaIE_GwHWS3J-QfX2aAFDrdKuQAh0WKRyIvQPOKwcntU_gpm" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="328" /></span></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="https://www.pexels.com/photo/young-peaceful-black-woman-applying-golden-collagen-eye-patches-3852204/" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Image source: Pexels</a></span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;"><br /></p><ul style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-inline-start: 48px;"><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Washing your face twice a day with a natural and gentle cleanser is the first thing that you should be doing with your skin. Gentle cleansers are important here because your skin deserves to feel soft and protected well. You can develop a healthy glow with natural face masks, too, and natural toning masks can help your skin to remain clear.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you soak a washcloth in hot water, you can place this over your face for a few minutes at a time until it cools right down, and this will help your skin to feel fresh. It will help you to open your pores and you can do this before you wash your face, so that you know that your skin is properly cleaned deeply!</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When you do wash your face, use a natural cleanser. This will help you to clean the skin without stripping back the protective layers. Coconut oils and aloe vera based cleansers are perfect for your skin. You can also use oats and other cleansing ingredients to ensure that your skin remains as healthy as possible.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Make your own toner with lemon juice and water and keep it in a bottle in the fridge. This can be applied to the skin with a cotton ball and you shouldn't rinse this off. The lemon and water mix together will create the perfect toner that hydrates the skin and makes your skin feel exceptionally healthy.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once you have washed and toned your skin, indulge in nourishing oils. Olive oil, jojoba oil, coconut oil and even sweet almond oil are all great choices for your skin. Black skin can often be dry, so making sure that you leave the oils on overnight is important to give it time to sink in and really let your skin glow.</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Twice a week, try out </span><a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-52609777" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">one of these homemade face masks</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> and indulge a little!

You only need to leave it on for fifteen minutes at a time, too, and just rinse with water!</span></p></li><li aria-level="1" dir="ltr" style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; list-style-type: disc; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre;"><p dir="ltr" role="presentation" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span></p></li></ul></span>

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the portraits we share of ourselves are a chapter of the story that makes up our lives. With so many people having access to high-quality cameras, photo editing software, trying to look our best in a photo can be an intimidating endeavor.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you find yourself struggling to get that perfect snapshot, here are some helpful tips for how to look pretty in each photo you take.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Give Your Hair a Touch-Up</span></span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Giving your hair a little TLC before taking a photo can boost your confidence and ensure you’re looking and feeling great. Keep a pick handy to boost your volume and a travel-sized bottle of detangler to work out any knots. Consider picking up a bottle of Camille Rose Natural Lavender Shaken Hair Spritzer to refresh your curls while on the go.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Avoid using portrait mode when taking photos with natural hair, as it often blurs the definition in a way that won’t do you any justice. Remember, it’s not you— it’s the camera trying to turn your 3D hair into a 2D object.</span></p><br /><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Choose the Right Lighting</span></span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Lighting is one of the foundational aspects of portrait photography. You can take the same picture under fluorescent lights and next to a sunny window and look like a different person.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When it comes to lighting, even </span><a href="https://www.teenvogue.com/story/how-to-get-good-selfie-lighting-at-home#:~:text=Both%20photographers%20agree%3A%20Natural%20light,it's%20flattering%20for%20all%20complexions." style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">diffused bright light</span></a><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> is the best— for example, an overcast day or lighting near a window that doesn't have direct sunlight streaming in. You can also capture stunning photos during the elusive golden hour— that period right before the sunset when the horizon glows.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The main point is to avoid synthetic lighting or strong shadows when taking a photo. By standing slightly in front of a light source, you can also create more dimension and offset the effects of photography on your natural hair.</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="border: none; display: inline-block; height: 468px; overflow: hidden; width: 624px;"><img height="468" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-UcxfJI9PAcDQ-ht5jwRE7ViV71-z2pbmIJWJll_2Zwh_053PQ4gfjqNrz7hRkG3rcPvzIGqGUivj_MBots4YnkY_nGQWcd_TISIpU5_DsAifTr1TXx--Gfdhvu_0d7DC8fBbxno" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" width="624" /></span></span></p><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Work Your Angles</span></span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">A part of knowing how to take a good selfie is learning how to work your angles. Keep in mind that when you photograph yourself, you're effectively turning a 3D object (you) into a 2D object (the photo). The flattening effect of this transformation can make you appear wider or distorted— that's why we often look great in the mirror and terrible in photos.</span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Learn to work your angles. Taking the photo from slightly above can add dimension to your image. Rather than facing the camera straight-on, tilt your head, shift your shoulders, and stagger your feet. Find an angle that highlights your body in a way that gives it shape and brings back that 3D vibe.</span></p><br /><h2 dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-size: 17pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-weight: 400; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Learn How to Smize</span></span></h2><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What do the best Instagram influencers have in common?

One influencer admitted that the secret behind her easy, breezy appearance is that she'll quack at herself like a duck right before taking the picture. It makes her laugh and results in a stunning, natural smile. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you can’t get the smile right, practice </span><a href="https://www.thecut.com/2020/09/nailing-the-tyra-banks-smize-is-crucial-in-the-covid-19-era.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">the art of the smize</span></a><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

The best way to exude confidence in every photo, regardless of your pose, is to watch your posture. </span></p><br /><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Keep your shoulders back, and your head held high.

Sometimes the problem cant be treated from the outside only. You are probably already aware of the multitude of hair products that you can get to help you create the style that you want. Hair masks that hydrate and revitalise damaged ends, curl defining products that give your hair the bounce you love, and so much more can be used to get you closer to the hair that you want. Topical products aren’t the only things you should be using to fully nourish your hair, though.</font></span></p><font face="arial"><br /></font><p dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><font face="arial">There are a variety of things you can do to promote the growth of healthier hair.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Do you find yourself feeling nervous in social situations or stuttering for works in important business meetings? A lack of confidence is common in the world we live in today. As the rise of social media took hold of our lives, more of us are faced with what looks like happy, confident and bold people, living incredible moments and achieving amazing things. We spend hours comparing ourselves to others, and it can be really harmful to our mental health. <br /><br />You need to remember that social media is a web of lies. In most cases, relationships look amazing, people look flawless, and their lives look so exciting. The truth is you are only seeing a snapshot of what that person wants you to see. Many users of Instagram explain how they spend hours taking the right shot and then just as long editing it, to ensure everything looks perfect. While their images make them look like they are confident people, behind the scenes, they are agonising over various things. <a href="https://www.insider.com/social-media-presenting-better-life-unhealthy-mental-health-2018-11">Relationships always look great on the internet </a>too. No one posts photos of their partner and them in the middle of a row. Or the days where they are so tired they can’t even look at each other. So, you need to stop comparing yourself to social media and start living your best life for yourself.<br /><br />One of the best ways to get confident is to fake it. Very few people feel good about themselves all the time, but they have mastered techniques of hiding their insecurities and inner worries. There are a few steps you can take to mask how you feel, which will actually make you feel a little bit better about yourself and will lead to more compliments which in turn will boost your confidence. <br /><br />You can start with something as simple as your style. If you dress with an attitude, then people will notice you. If you are worried about looking people in the eye, then grab a pair of shades that will make an impression. There are <a href="https://www.eyeglasses.com/eyeglasses/round.html">more options</a> than you can imagine when it comes to using fashion to hide your confidence issues. Sometimes something as simple as the way we wear our hair can give us the confidence boost we need to hold our head up high. <br /><br />You should address any significant issues that you have. Talk to a friend or better still<a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2020/04/4-steps-to-self-care-during-lockdown.html"> seek out some counselling</a> and get to the heart of your worries. Maybe something happened in your childhood which has made you fearful of rejection. Talking this through with a professional can help you to solve the issue and pick up tips on how to act confident even when you are feeling like crawling into a ball and hiding under the nearest table. The more you fake it, the easier it will become to face the situations you are afraid of. <br /><br />Confidence doesn’t come naturally to us all, so don’t be afraid to get creative and pretend that you are bolder and brighter than you really feel! </span><br />AfroDeityhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03567538890349479202noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4140916896503695823.post-58846131197805771462020-06-15T22:17:00.000-07:002020-06-15T22:37:07.376-07:00Dealing with the Side Issues of Lockdown<span id="docs-internal-guid-2697b6ac-7fff-ed7c-6194-6da9424b98b9"></span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Are you struggling with the lockdown? You’re not alone. There are a lot of issues that you might be contending with right now that you probably didn’t expect to impact you. Let’s take a look at some important examples. <br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Broken Sleep </b></span><br /><br />It’s possible that your sleeping pattern is broken <a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2020/05/now-more-than-ever-we-need-to-be.html">due to the lockdown</a>. This is likely due to the fact that you are unable to get the rest you need because your usual schedule is off track completely. It will properly start with a later than usual lie in followed by a later than usual bedtime. Before long, you’ll be staying up all night and sleeping away the day. You need to correct this by keeping active throughout the day and ensuring that you are sleepy for when it’s time to hit the hay. <br /><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br />Anxiety And Stress</span></b><br /><br />It is possible that you are feeling a lot more stressed and anxious because you are stuck at home and that’s understandable. When you’re in a situation like this, you might find that you struggle to get the level of exercise that you need to burn off stress. You could also find that being stuck at home in itself, causes you to feel stressed in itself. If that’s the case then you should find ways to relax. There are numerous paths to take here. However, one option would be to consider <a href="http://www.lucidhemp.co.uk/">CBD oil</a>. This has been shown to be a brilliant way to calm the mind and works wonders for some people who do feel overly stressed. </span><span id="docs-internal-guid-5c3f5e07-7fff-6d14-e808-3e2bfb91890f"><br /></span>

You can’t see friends or family like you used to and while this is slowly changing, we still have a long way to go. Until there is a vaccine, it’s like that there will be some sort of social distancing in place. There is also the chance of a second lockdown causing further social distancing to be required. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So what issues does a lack of socialization cause for you? Well, as it turns out, problems with socializing can cause a whole variety of issues. For instance, it’s possible that if you lack socialization for long enough, then you will experience cognitive decline. That’s why it’s important to make sure that the elderly do interact with people, particularly if they live alone. Of course, there are ways to avoid problems here. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For instance, you can think about using tech to your advantage. These days, there are numerous tech options that are going to allow you to communicate and interact with friends and family members, regardless of where they are. Potentially, you will be able to enjoy some of the home comforts you used to include things like watching films together thanks to software such as the </span><a href="https://www.netflixparty.com/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Netlfix Party</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Like others, you might be having difficulty keeping up your beauty routine in lockdown. After all, a lot of the companies that you might have relied on for years are now closed for the foreseeable future. Is your hair growing out of control? Are you struggling to get the beauty products that you need? We feel your pain and this can be a problem. Particularly, if it’s starting to impact your levels of self-confidence. Some people don’t want to go outside unless their makeup and hair are on point. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, what are your options here? Well, one possibility is to consider </span><a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty/hair/g23602022/how-to-cut-your-own-hair/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">sorting your own hair</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. There are videos online that can direct you on the best way to approach doing this without making it a complete mess. You can take a look at the video below for an example of this. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Finally, you might find that you are missing the gym during the lockdown. You don’t have to be a full fitness junkie to like the occasional workout and it can be frustrating when you realise that this option is no longer accessible. Of course, there are always ways to explore working out at home. For instance, you can think about setting up your own gym at home. This is more affordable than you might think because there are some great fitness sets online, regardless of what type of workout you want to explore. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Of course, there are other workouts that you can complete without equipment. For instance, you might want to consider a </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/90-Second-Fitness-Solution-Time-Efficient-Healthier/dp/1416566511" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ninety-second workout</span></a><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">.

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnaXwqFDk4vMNER36_PdPlN2HPOwd5Q46wkJJiJee60WbxV-KuEsQbKmEwptrDq71dhLiH6eXWlh_tKfnugEy0hnK3w3mo97SI-u29qDycDHiy7e9K_LaXdDrhIIXWvFYC7EJfQYiIeo/s1600/Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+7+Beautiful+Autumn+Hairstyles+for+Weaves+or+Blown+Out+Hair+%25285%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="315" data-original-width="560" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCnaXwqFDk4vMNER36_PdPlN2HPOwd5Q46wkJJiJee60WbxV-KuEsQbKmEwptrDq71dhLiH6eXWlh_tKfnugEy0hnK3w3mo97SI-u29qDycDHiy7e9K_LaXdDrhIIXWvFYC7EJfQYiIeo/s640/Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+Copy+of+7+Beautiful+Autumn+Hairstyles+for+Weaves+or+Blown+Out+Hair+%25285%2529.png" width="640" /></a></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, more than ever, we need to be looking after ourselves and those around us. We are in the middle of a global pandemic that has seen whole countries go into lockdown, and hundreds of thousands of people worldwide have lost their lives. We must reclaim a little bit of time where we can for ourselves and look after our mental health and wellbeing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, when leaving your house for anything other than the bare essentials is discouraged, and you have to maintain social distancing, how can you keep your mind and body well? In this post, we will look at a few of the things that you can do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nutrition</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is fundamental if you want to stay healthy, but it can also be challenging at the moment. There are some food shortages in stores, and we are having to think very carefully before going grocery shopping. However, if you have a plan in place before you go to the shops, you can avoid panic buying and wiping out supplies for the rest of your community. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before you head out, take inventory of what you already have in your refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards and plan meals around those. Every meal should be nutritionally balanced - the <a href="https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/the-eatwell-guide/">NHS Live Well plate</a> is an excellent representation of what you should include in your meals.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Fitness</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might not be able to get to the gym right now, but that does not mean that your fitness regime has to come to a complete halt. It is still okay to walk, cycle or run outside, as long as you are maintaining a two-metre distance from other people. Many fitness instructors are offering online classes at the moment to follow at home. Just check out Joe Wickes or even <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OtiMabuse/">Oti Mabuse dance classes on Facebook</a> and YouTube.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember, fitness does not have to be intense cardio-based activities or weights, either. Some everyday activities, such as gardening or vigorous cleaning, all go towards maintaining fitness levels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Stress and sleep</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Stress and sleep often go hand in hand. Not getting enough sleep can cause additional stress, and stress can prevent you from getting enough sleep. It is possible to break this vicious cycle, however.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yoga and meditation are excellent ways of coping with stress. Try it for a while, and you will soon see <a href="https://www.imcentred.uk/yoga-before-and-after-what-happens-to-your-body-when-you-start-doing-yoga/">what yoga does to your body</a>. They can be done at home in a relatively small place with very little equipment. Look online for yoga classes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In terms of sleep, maintaining some routine is key. If you have been furloughed from work or are shielding, it can be tempting to stay up late and have lie-ins. While this is fine once in a while, it can be disruptive to sleep patterns. Try to keep to a set bedtime every night and wake up at the same time every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Screen time can also be detrimental to getting a good night’s sleep. If possible, avoid looking at your phone, tablet, computer, or TV for at least an hour before you go to bed and certainly not if you wake up in the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing to do is to <a href="https://medium.com/the-mission/the-latest-time-you-should-drink-coffee-according-to-science-8c1db17bca21">avoid caffeine after about 2 pm</a>. This includes coffee, tea, chocolate, energy drinks, and fizzy drinks such as cola.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Have a calm space</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know how children are often sent to time out to calm down and regather their thoughts? Well, why not create an adult time out area? Make it cosy and calming - perhaps a big beanbag or comfy seat with cushions and a blanket, candles or soft fairy lights, no technology other than maybe a speaker to play calming music and an <a href="https://www.bhg.com.au/best-air-cleaning-plants">air-purifying plant.</a> When things feel like they are getting too much, retreat to the area with a drink and a book or sit and do some meditation for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Maintain social interaction</span></b></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While face to face social interaction is a no-go at the moment, that does not mean that you can’t talk to anyone. It just means you have to be a little bit more creative. Zoom, Houseparty, Facetime, Whatsapp - these are all great platforms for helping you to stay connected with your nearest and dearest. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<b></b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Get up and get dressed</span></b></b></div>
<b>
</b><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It can be tempting when we have nowhere to go, nothing to do and no one to see to sit around in our PJs or baggy sweats and forgo the shower and<a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2020/04/how-to-care-for-dyed-natural-hai.html"> hair care</a> that day. It may not seem like it matters too much in the grand scheme of things, but maintaining your usual personal hygiene routine and getting dressed every day can do wonders for your mental health.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Have you have ever styled your curls so well that you didn’t want to sleep to avoid messing them up? Styling your curls after the shower will definitely take some time. But if you are using the right products, the results can be breath taking. But now that the day is over and you need to go to bed, you might feel worried about having to style your hair again in the morning.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">As you sleep your amazing curls can get a little bit crazy. Sleep in a bun and your curls will go flat. Using a hair band to tie your hair can leave an unattractive dent that will look bad in the morning. If you decide to sleep without styling your hair, you might wake up with an unbelievable mane.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>As a result, you might feel that you will have to style your hair all over again, just to be able to leave the house with confidence. You might even go weak and finally given in to chemical treatments that promise no hassle.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Washing and styling your hair every single day is not a practical option. On one side, it strips your hair off its natural oils. These are the oils that naturally moisturise your scalp and hair strands. They are essential to keep your hair elastic and strong.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Sleep Right</b></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">You need to learn how to sleep right so that you can easily refresh your hair in the morning. Sleeping in a pineapple will help keep your curls intact. You can avoid having flat hair after sleeping for the night.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Satin or silk pillow cases are so much better for your hair than cotton. Cotton causes static that makes your hair frizzy. Satin and silk will allow your hair to glide smoothly and your curls will look better in the morning. If you don’t have silk pillow cases, you can sleep in a silk or satin bonnet. It will keep your hair smooth and frizz free.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="p2">
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-weight: 700;"><br /></span></div>
<span class="s1" style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Rise and shine</b></div>
</span></div>
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">After sleeping for the night, you need to refresh your hair in the morning. Avoid brushing or combing your hair as it can change your curls to a messy frizz. Simply tilt your head upside down and scrunch some styling product in. If your curls have gone flat overnight, simply mist your hair so that it is easier to style. You can mix some of your favourite oil with the water to add some shine and smoothness to your strands. After applying more leave in conditioner and some styling gel or mousse, it is time to recoil your hair. Wrap the flat strands around your fingers and scrunch as much as you can. You can set your blowdryer on cold to dry your hair if it is a bit wet.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1"><span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<style type="text/css">
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; text-align: center; font: 12.0px 'Trebuchet MS'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}
p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 10.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px 'Trebuchet MS'; color: #000000; -webkit-text-stroke: #000000}
span.s1 {font-kerning: none}
</style>
<br />
<div class="p2">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="s1">Having good looking second, third and even fourth day curls is all about what you do the night before. If you don’t take care of your curls overnight, you will definitely get frustrated in the morning. It is all about using the right products and techniques in order to save precious time in the morning. You will easily have great curls that look like a lot of effort.</span></div>

If you’re a regular reader, then you may recall a recent post on the <span id="docs-internal-guid-b6f428a0-7fff-2533-e1fe-3bc7db81d5d1"><a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2020/03/the-best-pre-workout-foods-supplements.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">best pre-workout foods and supplements</span></a></span> to consume before exercising. A lot of people seemed to enjoy that, and it gave you a few ideas to kickstart your workouts and attack them with more energy and alertness.
Naturally, it got me thinking about another important aspect of working out: your post-workout routine. Taking care of yourself after exercise is just as - if not more - important than taking care of yourself beforehand. You should think of it as your recovery stage. This is where you give your body a chance to repair and refuel following a lot of hard work.
With that in mind, you can improve post-workout recovery by consuming the right foods and supplements. As I said before, I’m not a nutrition expert by any stretch of the imagination. If you want professional advice, then speak to a nutritionist! However, I have done a lot of research and have found a few ideas that are proven to keep you fit and healthy after your workouts: </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Proteins</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyone with a slight bit of exercise experience will know that protein has to be at the top of your supplements list. You’ll notice that many of the foods, later on, are here because they’re an excellent source of protein. Your body needs this substance to grow muscle. In essence, it’s essential to help fuel the muscle cells and encourage them to repair and grow even stronger than before. If your body was devoid of all protein, then your muscles would basically waste away. It’s a very easy supplement to get your hands on as well - there are loads of <span id="docs-internal-guid-ebe143e7-7fff-853e-2cec-225670b356fb"><a href="https://www.coachmag.co.uk/supplements/7148/best-protein-powder" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">great protein powders</span></a></span> out there for everyone. Think about your fitness goals before you choose a product, some protein powders are called ‘mass gainers’ as they help you put on more weight. If you want to lose weight, then opt for one with few calories. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">BCAAs
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
BCCA stands for Branched Chain Amino Acids. This is a crucial supplement that helps you recover a lot faster after a workout. Amino acids exist within the body to help with something called protein synthesis. Effectively, BCAAs work to improve the way your body produces and uses protein. For this reason, it’s an excellent thing to take alongside your protein shake after a workout. In fact, when consumed in powdered form, you can mix it in with your shake and get two supplements in one. There are lots of <span id="docs-internal-guid-d0253f71-7fff-254d-fdb1-1fafec4ce8fd"><a href="https://www.transparentlabs.com/blogs/all/bcaa-powder-benefits-why-and-how-to-best-take-bcaas" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">BCAA benefits</span></a></span> to help you feel better after working out. Do you often feel really sore the next day? This is called delayed onset muscle soreness - DOMS -and taking a BCAA supplement is shown to help prevent it. Or, at least, reduce the soreness you feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Glutamine
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is another amino acid that you should definitely think about adding to your supplements roster. Again, it will speed up the recovery process by improving the way your body functions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span id="docs-internal-guid-eede04b7-7fff-56db-51d1-938d3e157190"><a href="https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/glutamine" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Glutamine</span></a></span> will make your body use carbohydrates far more efficiently, providing you with the energy needed to avoid a huge comedown. It also helps you produce more muscle mass, which can increase the size and tone of your muscles. Again, you can take this in powdered or tablet form depending on your preference.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">CBD/CBG
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, we have two supplements in the form of cannabinoids. There is some controversy surrounding things like CBD and CBG because of where they come from. Yes, they derive from the cannabis plant, but they are not drugs at all. In fact, many professional athletes take these supplements while performing as they are safe and not banned by any athletic organizations. CBD is the more well-known, and it can help fight inflammation, provide a better night’s sleep, and make you feel more relaxed. The <span id="docs-internal-guid-1347199e-7fff-c453-2745-bd7f534a2ca4"><a href="https://www.cbd-guru.co.uk/cbg-benefits-and-your-body/" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #4a6ee0; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">benefits of CBG</span></a></span> are believed to be similar, but potentially even stronger! As such, these supplements are great at helping your body recover following a tough exercise session. Reducing inflammation stops muscle soreness, you feel more relaxed, and you can sleep deeper and for longer - giving your body more time to recover. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Foods</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing about supplements is that they can’t and shouldn’t exist on their own. You should use them alongside a healthy diet composed of whole foods. Essentially, the purpose of supplements is to give your body a boost of things that you might struggle to get a lot of when you eat. So, here are some foods you should definitely start adding to your post-workout meals as well:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Eggs
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There have long been stories of people gulping down raw eggs after workouts. You don’t need to do this, but eggs themselves are an excellent post-workout food source. They contain lots of protein per egg, and the yolk is a wonderful source of essential vitamins, fats, and minerals. You get a good bit of iron from eggs, which a lot of women are deficient in. A good way to incorporate them into a post-workout meal is to either poach or boil them. These are the healthiest ways to cook eggs as you don't use oil!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Salmon
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Salmon - and lots of other types of fish - are the perfect thing to eat after workouts. Again, you get a good source of protein from salmon. However, it also contains lots of omega-3 fatty acids. These are essential for your brain health, but they also work with your body to prevent muscle soreness. It’s <span style="background-color: white;">very easy to implement salmon into a post-workout meal or to have it as a little snack between meals.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Sweet Potato
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A killer nutritional mistake is to avoid carbs after a workout. Carbohydrates are a key source of energy for your body. After a workout, you will feel a natural lull as your body is tired. So, adding carbs to your meal is a great way to refuel yourself and continue attacking the day. This is essential if you work out during the day and still have things to do. Of course, some carb sources are healthier than others. Sweet potato is a great thing to have as it’s an excellent source of many vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Another benefit of sweet potatoes is that they support your immune system. After working out, it’s common for your immune system to suffer a little dip, so this helps correct that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Nuts & Seeds
</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don’t eat a big meal straight after working out, then nuts can be your best friend. They are chocked full of protein, good fats, fiber, and lots of other minerals and vitamins. The high protein and fiber content means that they tend to fill you up quite quickly as well. This makes them an ideal post-workout snack as you’re biding your time between meals. Plus, you can easily bring them in a little bag or tub to snack on as you leave the gym. Seeds also fall into the same category, though they can be a bit harder to eat on their own. Still, a great benefit of nuts and seeds is that they can be used as toppings for so many other things! Sprinkle them on oatmeal, yogurt, or even salads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, there you have it: the best post-workout foods and supplements to consume. Pair these with the pre-workout ideas mentioned in my previous post, and you’ve got yourself a great nutritional plan! Taking care of your body both before and after exercise will help you improve performance and speed up your recovery. The only thing left to consider is how you should fuel your body during workouts!</div>

<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
There's a lot of fear and confusion when dyeing natural hair. As the strands are already fragile and prone to dryness and breakage, the added chemicals from dye can exacerbate common issues. However, dyeing natural hair isn't out of the question, as long as you're ready to commit to your hair care routine. If you've started the dyeing process or want to change your look, here are some tips to help you care for your dyed natural hair.</div>
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b> Make Changes Slowly</b></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
The number one rule of dyeing your hair is to make changes slowly, especially when going lighter. You can't go into the salon one day and expect to walk out a platinum blonde, otherwise, you'll wake up without hair. Know that it could take a few months of dyeing and aftercare to achieve the colour you want. You may have to go a few months with a shade that you don't like to be able to eventually achieve the shade you love. In the meantime, consider wearing a wig until you're where you want to be. Wear a silk cap to help protect your natural hair underneath— learn more in this post about<a href="https://www.evawigs.com/blog/how-to-secure-a-wig-the-definitive-guide.html"> how to secure a wig at EvaWigs</a>.</div>
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Hydrate and Moisturise Daily</b></span><br />Hydration and moisturisation are an essential step in caring for natural hair. Dyes and bleach strip moisture from your strands, so this step becomes critical. Make time every day to hydrate and moisturise your hair. This process will look different for everyone but should consist of adding a daily conditioning spray or cream. If you aren't already pre-conditioning your hair when you wash it, consider adding this step to the process as well.<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Use a Detangler</b></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Detangling becomes more important when your natural hair is dyed as well. To take care of your hair, forget the simple wash-and-go when you're rocking colour. Use <a href="https://www.naturallycurly.com/curlreading/coils/top-10-detanglers-for-type-4-natural-hair">a detangling spray</a> and set aside time to detangle with a wide-tooth comb every time you wash your hair. Remember to be extra gentle with your hair when detangling. Start from the ends and work up to the roots, carefully working through knots to avoid breakage.</div>
<br /><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b> Add a Protein Treatment to the Mix</b></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
When you dye your hair, you should plan on doing a deep conditioning treatment at least once a week. If you're going lighter, consider adding a protein mask to the mix. A keratin hair treatment can help nourish and strengthen your locks, giving them the gusto they need to withstand the dyeing process. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As healing begins from the inside out, ensuring that your diet offers enough lean protein, collagen, and biotin can help prevent breakage as well. </div>
<br /><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-size: large;"><b>Default to Protective Styles</b></span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
When you dye natural hair, you'll want to put it in protective styles 99% of the time. It's important to keep those ends tucked now more than ever. However, you'll have to be cautious of tight braids that cause tension and breakage to your sensitive locks. You'll also want to be extra cautious at night, using a braid-out or knots and silk pillowcase at all times. You might even consider adding a silk scarf if you move around a lot in your sleep.</div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> Invest in High-Quality Products</span></span></b><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Dyeing your hair is an investment. If you want to protect your natural hair during this process, you must be willing to invest in high-quality products. Avoid using box dye and visit your stylist instead, especially when you're going lighter. You'll also want to buy a high-quality <a href="https://www.byrdie.com/best-shampoos-for-black-hair-400437">colour protectant shampoo and conditioner</a> that's optimised for curly or kinky hair. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you want to protect your natural hair when dyeing it, the two things to remember are patience and quality. You need patience in building your colour and care routine, and quality in each product you apply. By keeping these things in mind, you'll get the style you love without causing lasting damage.</div>

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Exercise
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When it comes to self-care, many people imagine lying back in a hot bubble bath with a face mask on. While that can be a form of self-care for many people, looking after your mind and body is the greatest thing, and there is no better way of doing this than exercise.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course, going to the gym or hitting the local swimming baths is not the best idea at the moment, so you need to think of things that you can do either at home or that allow you to maintain social distancing. Perhaps use this time to find out how to get into yoga, or maybe you discover you really like following an online Zumba workout class.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Check in with people
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Just because you can’t socially mix with your family and friends in person, it doesn’t mean that you can’t socialise at all. Thanks to technology such as social media, WhatsApp and Zoom, you can have group chats with your loved ones. Why not arrange a party night? Everyone can get dressed up in their fancy outfits, pour a cocktail and have a night out but staying in!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Have a routine
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the hardest parts of being shut away at home, particularly if you are not working at the moment, is the lack of routine. Not having normality can play havoc with our mental health, so implementing a routine and incorporating self-care within that is important. It may be as simple as getting up in the morning and having a long hot shower before slathering on body lotion and getting dressed. Sometimes, doing hair and makeup and nails can make us feel good, even if it is just to wrap back up in a blanket and watch Netflix on the couch!</span><br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Treat yourself
</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Buy that expensive piece of steak and bottle of wine, light the candles and use your fanciest dining plates, even if it is just you on your own! Dig out that fancy cream or perfume that you put away for a special occasion and use it. Order that pair of merino wool socks. If it makes you feel good, do it. After all, there is nothing much else to do at the moment!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Self-care is always important, but never so much as it is during a worldwide pandemic.

No one wants to feel like they are getting old while they are still young. I often look in the mirror and see a 21 year looking back at me but at 40, I have started to think about looking after myself more and how to keep that youthful glow that is starting to lose its luster. Unfortunately a lot of people do start to feel like they are looking older and it’s worth exploring why this is. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You would be right in assuming that some of this is definitely tied to genetics. You might be able to blame your parents if your skin starts to sag earlier than your friends. But there are often other factors at play here too. So, let’s explore the causes of age and help you handle them the right way. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b>Smoking And Drinking </b></span><br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">We all have bad habits and crutches. You might be familiar with these two yourself and if you are, it’s worth noting that both are going to cause you to age faster than you would probably like. Smoking causes wrinkles to develop around your lips which is a sure sign of the ageing process. At the same time, it’s possible that if you drink, you might be more likely to develop a prominent tummy and notice other changes to your skin. We often forget that drinks like wine are actually filled with calories. If your diet isn’t working, your preference for a glass of red with dinner could be the reason. </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">The best way to handle this is to find the right alternative. For smoking, you can try vaping instead with </span><a href="https://greyhaze.co.uk/collections/vape-starter-kit" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;">cheap vape kits</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; vertical-align: baseline;"> providing everything you need to get started with this fashionable trend. Alternatively, if you like a drink you could consider a nonalcoholic beverage that provides the same flavour without the damage. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stress is another issue which definitely causes you to age faster than you would think. If you have noticed that your hair is starting to turn grey or perhaps even thinning, then this could definitely be a sign that you are overly stressed and anxious in your life. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt;">It’s often not possible to reverse the process once it has begun. But what you can do instead is to make sure that you are finding a way to cope with your stress. This could slow down the greying of your hair. One option is meditation. Through meditation, you will be able to calm your body and your mind at the same time. Research shows that it can have tremendous benefits. </span></div>

Studies do suggest that those who live in urban areas with high levels of pollution will age faster compared to those out in a rural </span><a href="https://www.afrodeity.co.uk/2018/04/how-to-stay-in-shape-on-summer-hols_21.html" style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline;">location</span></a><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 12pt; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">. This could also be tied to stress because it’s often more relaxing to live out of the city. Indeed, research shows that the best way to live is to have a house in the country at the weekend and an apartment in the city for the weekdays.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once you’ve cracked the code why not create some <a href="https://setapp.com/how-to/edit-pdf-files-on-mac">PDF cheat sheets</a> (learn how to edit a</div>

<br />
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Mixed hair may be prone to dryness, <u>but</u> it’s important to manage this in the right</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
way. Don’t try to add shine and moisture by overdoing oils and serums, which will</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
overload the hair with product.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Treat the hair gently. When detangling, use a wide toothed comb and go slowly. A</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
good detangle will take a while.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Add moisture to dry hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Apply a deep</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
conditioning treatment once a month to give the hair a boost of moisture.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Protect the hair from snagging at night by asking the child to sleep wearing a sleep</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
cap. You can buy lots of very pretty or cool looking options online. Look for satin for a</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
comfortable cap that will protect the hair from damage.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Minimise hair breakage by detangling and combing through the hair while a conditioner is</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
applied. After washing, apply a moisturising treatment to the hair to reduce friction</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
between the hair and the comb. Work slowly, in sections and start at the ends.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Don’t overwash the hair. How often is right will depend on the hair, but start with once</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a week and experiment from there. You’re looking for the point between keeping the</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hair clean without making it too dry from overwashing. It's likely that mixed hair will</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
need more/less frequent washing than your own hair. </div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Overwashing can make the hair dry and dull, whereas not washing enough can cause problems too. If your child swims or otherwise needs their hair washed more, try rinsing with</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
warm water and conditioning between washes instead and don't forget a <u>swimcap</u>.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● To dry, use a towel and blot the hair instead of rubbing to avoid breakage. After towel</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
drying, allow the hair to air dry for a while before turning to heat.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Add more moisture by making sure your child drinks plenty of water. As well as</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hydrating the body, plenty of water will hydrate the hair too, helping it to stay elastic.</div>
<br />
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
● Don’t be afraid of adding moisture. This won’t make hair oily and will instead help it to</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
stay healthy. After washing, apply a conditioner to trap in moisture. Moisturise the</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
hair a couple of times a week with a dedicated product to help it to stay soft and healthy.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
