Bad beauty advice
Bad beauty advice
There is unfortunately Bad beauty advice available
This Bad beauty advice is usually online
When you look online for beauty advice you don’t bank on it being Bad beauty advice. Unfortunately this can be the case. We have listed below a few for you to keep an eye out for. Be sure not to follow this.
Bad advice- Using cleaning products to remove self tan- really not sure why anyone would do this as it is not a good idea to put any cleaning products on your skin. You could have an allergic reaction or even worse. These kind of products were never made to go onto the skin so do not use them on it.
Good advice– patches and stained hands can be sorted out by rubbing half a lemon onto the area for two minutes before lightly buffing with a damp towel.
Bad advice- Make a self tan using coffee- so this one’s probably not dangerous, unless you have some sort of coffee allergy. But it’s also probably not really going to work. The coffee may slightly stain the skin, but it’s going to be difficult to get good, even colour.
Good advice- stick to your normal self tan products.
Bad advice- Use peanut butter as shaving cream– Aside from the obvious downsides (it’ll gunk up your razor in seconds, make a sticky mess in your bathroom, and attract vermin, YUCK!), this so-called tip just seems like a huge waste of perfectly good peanut butter.
Good advice– If you run out of shaving cream, use conditioner. It gives the same effect as shaving gel and also changes the hair’s pH, making them softer and easier to cut.
Bad advice- Make a face mask from cat litter- This face-mask hack is mentioned on a number of different sites, which makes us wonder Who on earth tried this first? It turns out that they might not have been completely crazy. Clay-based cat litters often contain bentonite and silica, two ingredients found in many skincare products formulated to absorb surface oils and create a barrier to hold moisture in. But other cat litter ingredients, like the masking fragrances, could be harsh and abrasive on skin.
Good advice- Sticking to clay-based face masks that are known to be safe and also provide benefits like exfoliation, hydration, and cleansing.
So make sure you do not be fooled by the Bad beauty advice that you may find online.

Looking after your hair in the sun
Today we are going to be Looking after your hair in the sun
As its is summer we thought we would do the blog on Looking after your hair in the sun
We quite often don’t realise the damage the sun can do our our hair, so we decide to cover Looking after your hair in the sun today.Using products that contain UV filters will help but just like skin products, you need to reapply them to keep the protection constant. Ideally you should use a hat or scarf as a cover-up, and avoid exposure when the sun is highest and causes the most damage which is in between the hours of 11am and 3pm. It is a good idea to use conditioning products as these can help repair hair and prevent further damage.
As well as damaging the protein structure of the hair, UV light also attacks the pigment in your hair, breaking it down, bleaching it and reducing the hair’s natural defence system. Darker hair has greater natural protection from UV, just like darker skin. But if you chemically lighten darker hair it loses its natural protection, making it more vulnerable to UV. Blonde hair, whether natural or coloured, has very little pigment and is therefore at greatest risk in the sun. When hair dehydrates it becomes brittle which leads to broken split ends that go up the hair shaft and cause frizziness and sometimes breakage; it’s a cumulative process It’s very important to treat your scalp and hair as you would your skin in the sun. To prevent ending up with dry straw like hair by the end of summer.

So as you can see Looking after your hair in the sun is just as important as looking after your skin.
