Are you overcleansing your skin?

Your skin naturally acts as a barrier, meaning it keeps out what it's supposed to (dirt) while keeping in the good stuff (moisture & yes, some oils). This is why you don't want to over-cleanse your skin, stripping away your skin's essential oils that naturally keep your skin balanced & healthy.

People with oily skin have a tendency for zealous cleansing. The result is skin that feels taut & tight. This is actually NOT good. Using cleansers with alcohol strips skin of its essential oils. Skin that feels taut, tight & a little stiff after cleansing is a clear sign that you may be overcleansing or using too harsh a cleanser for your skin type. Some effects of overcleansing include:

Rashes. Ingredients that should sit on the skin (like sunscreen) will permeate the
Cleansing your skin more than twice a day can trigger a panic response & send your oil glands into overdrive. Plus, if moisturizers don't soak into the skin -- instead sitting atop skin -- then you will be prone to acne.
Seborrheic dermatitis (flaking red scales around the scalp & on the t-zone).
The key here is balance. You want your skin to feel 'dewy'. Taut & tight is bad, dewy & moisturized is good. Some beauty experts believe overcleansing can lead to rashes & adult acne.

An ingenius way to bottle your shampoo

Using the same shampoo over & over can cause build-up on hair, so it's best to change out shampoos every time you finish a bottle.

But why wait until you finish the bottle? It's all about layering different shampoos together in a pump bottle. This way you get the benefits of different shampoos and don't overuse just one.

To do this, buy a large pump bottle from a drugstore. Take up to 4 different shampoos and pour about 1/4 of one, then layer on top of that with 1/4 of another shampoo. Keep rotating until your pump bottle is full.

Enjoy sleeker, cleaner, fuller hair!

Another Great Use for Vaseline

Vaseline is great for chapped lips. Slick on a lot of Vaseline on your lips, then using a fresh toothbrush (not the one you use every day), massage the Vaseline into your lips. This will get rid of dry, scaly dead skin & will leave your lips soft & chap-free.
