Fall in love with taking care of yourself

Fall in love with taking care of yourself

Posted by Valerie Dormeus on 26th Oct 2023

Fall 2023 is in full swing, and most of us enjoy this season for its crisps mornings, cozy sweaters, pumpkin spice latte, Halloween, the beautiful colors of the trees, and cocooning. While we slowly start preparing to hibernate a little, there are a few tips we can start implementing in our day to day lives. Here are a few autumn tips for your textured hair care and skincare routines.

Textured Hair Care

 

  • Use a leave-in conditioner (acts as a primer), before you apply your styler (gel, cream gel, styling cream, mousse, hair spray...). As the weather gets cold, your hair will be prone to dryness. To help with frizz and to nourish your precious strands of hair, select a leave-in conditioner that is adapted to your hair needs.
  • We recommend you do not air dry your curls. Use a diffuser or hooded hair dryer. Why? leaving your hair wet during an extended period of time, can encourage the growth of unwanted fungus and bacteria, and can potentially cause scalp related issues.
  • Clarify to remove or avoid buildup! we recommend you use a chelating or clarifying shampoo once a month, depending on your hair needs. For example, if you have hard water at home, you may find that you need to clarify more than once a month, same if you are a swimmer!

Use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of any product buildup. Here are a few clarifying shampoos in the boutique:

Bounce Curl Gentle Clarifying Shampoo


Malibu C UN-DO-GOO Shampoo


Inahsi Naturals Soothing Mint Clarifying Shampoo


Use a chelating shampoo and/or treatment if you are in need of a deep cleanse to rid of hard water, chlorine, or mineral deposits. Here are a few chelating shampoos and treatments in the boutique:


Malibu C Hard Water Wellness Remedy Treatment - 1 Packet

Skincare

Cooler temperatures call for nourishing and moisturizing products. You may want to wash your face with a gentle, creamy cleanser in order to keep the natural oils of your skin, instead of stripping them from your skin. We affectionate the True Moringa Magic Black Soap Facial Cleanser for its gentle and creamy characteristics, while efficiently cleansing the skin.

At night, try switching your cream moisturizer for an oil. I find it to be extremely beneficial to leave an all natural oil to absorb into my skin overnight. The natural benefits of the oil, will work its magic while I am sleeping. I wake up with a well nourished, and healthy radiant skin. For those who have combination skin (as I do), or oily skin, fear not! despite popular beliefs, oil combats oil, and help balance your skin, ensuring that your skin does not procedure sebum in excess. Of course, opting for a non-comedogenic and light oil is key.
