    Resuscitate Your Hair

    5 quick steps to help resuscitate their hair to its proper glory

    Screen Shot 2014-06-19 at 4.30.10 PM

    • Step #1: Protect & Reconstruct. The heat can be very drying to the scalp. Incorporating a soap and alkali-free shampoo into your daily regimen can help to stabilize hair structure, as well as treat sensitive and delicate scalp conditions. Sebamed Scalp Activating Shampoo is a pH balanced wash that naturally supports scalp circulation – which is essential for hair growth and thicker-looking hair. ($14.99, SebamedUSA.com)

     

    • Step #2: Targeted Treatment. Applying heat or using chemical products are habits that we all find hard to kick, but with the humidity at an all time high during the summer, so is hair breakage. To restore and nourish hair to its proper glory, apply a deep conditioning treatment formulated with coconut oil, as these are rich in fats that are attracted to hair proteins, 1-2 times per week. Apply at the crown of the head to the tips (hair generally isn’t dry at the roots). 

     

    • Step #3: Add Life To Your Color. The pool feels great on hot days, but chlorine is destructive to our hair, especially if it’s chemically treated, as it can strip the hair of its natural color. To restore your hair color, we recommend heading to the salon for a gloss or glaze treatment every 3 to 4 months. They are less costly and will restore the tone of your original hue while adding shine.

     

    • Step #4: Shield from Harmful Rays. Sun exposure not only does number on your skin, it can ravage your hair too! As you head outside, toss on a hat or scarf and opt for styling products that can withstand rays with UV protection.  

     

    • Step #5: Promote New Growth. Dry hair is cause of those dreadful split ends. Try trimming your hair every 6 weeks and incorporating an all-natural supplement into your routine to stimulate new growth.  Aviva Hair Revitalizer is a proprietary dual complex that works with your hair’s natural cycle to rejuvenate and improve the health of hair follicles deep below the surface for stronger, thicker, and more beautiful looking hair. Aviva hair growth vitamins help support hair structure and encourages new, emerging hair. ($59.95 for a 30 day supply, AvivaHair.com)

    3 Steps for Summer from @SebamedUSA

    Warmer temps call for sleeveless shirts and swimsuits, exposing an area of the body that receives very little attention: Armpits!

    IMG_0164

    The mindless daily shave and quick roll of deodorant steal 50 percent of moisture from skin and wreak havoc on underarm’s delicate pH balance, causing problems like dryness, redness, bumps and itchiness. Constant irritation also exacerbates hyperpigmentation, which is one cause of darkened armpits.

    Fortunately, pits aren’t picky. Spending just 60 seconds on this easy, three-step routine from Sebamed can keep underarm’s pH in check for a worry-free, comfortable day:
    STEP1

    Gently Cleanse with a Soap-Free Wash: Using your hands or a gentle microfiber cloth, cleanse the underarms with an ultra-mild wash like Sebamed Liquid Face & Body Wash. The soap-free formula deep cleanses while naturally conditioning and restoring skin to the ideal pH 5.5, and using your hands or a soft cloth instead of a loofah helps protect skin’s delicate barrier. ($19.95 for 400mL, SebamedUSA.com)

    STEP2

    Consciously Rinse and Pat Dry: Most of us forget to completely rinse and dry this area, causing water and cleansing residue to linger under the arms for unwanted itchiness. Instead of rubbing harshly with a towel, gently pat skin dry, which is much less abrasive.

    STEP3

    Swipe on Sensitive Skin Deodorant: Many deodorants are based on harsh chemicals. Look for one made with balsam, a common hydrating oil that’s plant derived and soothing on sensitive skin. Apply one thin, even layer to the full area of the armpit (about a three-inch circle) using a gentle, single up-and-down swipe.

    Dry Skin Rescue @SebamedUSA

    Winter dry skin is the worst!  The scaly snake skin legs occur when I am too lazy to lotion after a shower and it freaks me out!  If you need a great lotion, try Sebamed Anti-Dry Hydration Lotion to save your skin this winter.  I remember the logo of Sebamed from my childhood and you know how much I love Retro!  So here is a cool throwback beauty secret you may have forgotten. Sebamed is a German skincare company established by Heinz Maurer in 1957.

     

    Snow Ready

    Phytosteroles, shea butter and other plant-derived lipids as well as a moisturizing complex with polysaccharides extracted from potato starch care for, smooth and soothe the skin.

    The lotion is absorbed quickly and completely, leaving no trace of stickiness. The pH value of 5.5 protects the skin’s natural protective acid mantle against dehydration and irritants. In a three-week dermatological test, the care lotion improved the moisture content of dry skin by 26% even 10 hours after the last application and despite interim washing.

    Keeping warm and using Sebamed since ’84.

    For all day hydration and a brand that I remembered using all my life – Try Sebamed!

    @Sebamed Spa Shower

    Showers are so relaxing when you have the right ambiance, music, temperature, water pressure and shower gel!  I recently tried this mild soap-free shower gel from Sebamed. It has extracts from water lilies that prevents over dryness and refreshes the skin!

    Because it has a pH value of 5.5, same as healthy skin, it maintains the skin barrier and prevent over dryness.

    It smells great and it is free of soap, alkali and paraben. Super 🙂
