Looking Good - Summertime Problems and Solutions�?/FONT>
"Tips To Help You Look & Feel Your Best"
------------------------------------------------------------
The summer problems and solutions were a big hit and of course,
I still have a few in my "bag of tricks"...
You prepped for the beach by shaving your bikini line. Now you
have a bumpy razor rash...
Prevent it...
Always use a fresh razor blade on your sensitive bikini line.
Also, use a gel (skip the soap; the results won't be as smooth)
and let it sit on the skin for a couple of minutes to soften the
hair before you shave. Always shave the bikini line in the direction
of hair growth to minimize irritation...
Treat it...
Reduce the rash by applying a 1 percent hydrocortisone cream to the
area. If the skin isn't broken, conceal the redness with a tinted
facial moisturizer. Self conscious about the bumps? Work a sexy
sarong look when you're not in the water...
Those gorgeous golden highlights you paid big bucks for are
turning brassy faster than you can say Orange Julius...
Prevent it...
Highlighted hair that's naturally medium brown or warm blond is
most likely to get coppery since those shades have more red in them.
And all streaked strands are more porous, making them susceptible
to oxidation caused by the sun seeping into them. (The process is
similar to how an apple slice will turn brown if it's left out
for a while.) To prevent this, cover up with a hat or a head scarf
when outdoors. Also use styling aids that block UV rays. (It will
say this on the package)...
Fix it...
If your hair hue is already trashed, your best bet for
resuscitating the color is to head to the salon for a color
gloss, which will tone down the brassiness and add shine for
less than the cost of getting the highlights redone...
