Monthly i'll create homemade deep conditioners/protein treatment, facials, body moisturizers, and so on to add into the mix. If I feel like my hair, nails, skin, or anything in particular just needs more natural treatments i'll do it weekly or every other day. I feel that by mixing it up with the regular products you use helps a lot and my body responds to it better.

Use Pond's Dry Skin Cream for right out of the shower or any type of water no matter what and apply Aveeno's Creamy Moisturizing Oil the rest of the time. I feel like my skin dries out quickly especially living in the desert but with the mixture of the two I not only have extremely soft, moisturized skin but it has a nice natural glow.

Said it before and i'll keep saying it my personal hair rescue is WEN haircare in Sweet Almond Mint. With many products it's based on person to person. I am of mix cultures from African American to French and a bunch others. My hair is kinky, coarse, thick, dry, frizzy, easily prone to split ends, has been highlighted, dyed, relaxed, permed, styled with hot tools, and just like many effected by harsh elements. I do use a hydrating shampoo once a week to help with a more thorough cleansing especially from the environmental factors i'm exposed to.

When i'm not within reach of a eyeshadow base/primer I use a light pink or nude lipstick it has just as great benefits and I find has fewer fall outs. Anti Chaffing gel is great as an eyeshadow primer too in fact works better for me than the Too Faced Insurance.

Since i wear glasses often i'll bring my crease shadow up slightly higher than most would so you can really see the makeup behind my glasses and I only wear eyeliner and mascara on the outer half otherwise it shrinks my eyes down even more. Obviously applying light eyeliners like white to your inner water line helps with the bigger eye effect.

I use a wide tooth comb and rarely a brush for less damage. I gently twist my hair and use a hair clip rather than rubber bands. Hardly play with my hair so it won't become contaminated with anything i've touched but also is healthier the less I fickle with it.

In a spray bottle I mix a couple of pumps of my WEN haircare, baby oil, and a hydrating shampoo. For days i'm on the go and miss my morning shower it helps keep my hair vibrant while protecting, cleaning, adding shine, and conditioning. I find it works better than dry shampoo and less messy!

I take kelp supplements to help promote healthier thyroid, hair, nails, and skin. My hair especially grows slow and I find that it helps overall! There's a review on my blog at www.misstrishdelish.com if you want to read up on it.
