Ingrown hairs can be a pain to deal with, especially if you’ve got a lot. Although there are options out there, most of them can be expensive and even painful. So what is a girl to do? Well, sometimes you just need to do things the old fashioned way!

First of all, know that ingrown hairs are caused mostly due to shaving. If you shave once a week, it shouldn’t be that big of a problem, but during the summer months, most women shave at least every other day. And well all know that shaving doesn’t last very long, so we do it often!

Dry skin can be tough to deal with, especially if you have it all over your body. For a dry complexion, you must remember that you need to moisturize at all times and stay away from harsh, drying products.

Start off in the morning with a moisturizing face wash. This will put back some moisture in your skin. Stay away from toners as they will strip your skin of its natural oils.

Oily skin can have its downs at times, but there are ways that you can get rid of it, at least temporarily. You must know that in order for your skin to be going through any kind of change, you first must take proper care of it. That means that you cannot neglect your daily routine (both morning and night).

Those with oily skin reproduce excess oil in their skin. It’s very important to stay away from products that contain oil as this will make it even worse.

Do you really need a toner? Recent studies are showing that a toner actually does more damage to your skin than anything else. Previously it was believed that a toner cleansed your face of all dirt, impurities, and excess oils, but that is not the case.

Toners strip the skin away of its natural oils that you skin desperately needs. Without this oil, your skin starts to be come dry, flaky, and may even crack in certain cases.

Masks come in many different combinations, and each one is made for a specific skin type. Weather you have dry, oily, or normal skin, there is a perfect mask out there just for you!

Oily Skin

If your skin is oily, choose a peel mask or a clay mask. Clay masks can be very drying to your skin, so make sure you apply some moisturizer afterwards. Make your very own mask by mixing 1 egg white with the juice from 1/2 a lemon. Leave it on for 15 minutes and rinse off!

You want to look tanned, but you most likely don’t want to sit out in the harmful sun for hours, burning your skin, and catching the possibility of skin cancer or something even worse. The sun has some powerful rays and the damage that it can do to your skin (not to mention pre-mature aging) is more than enough to keep you out of it. So what are some things that you can do to avoid sitting in the sun, but still look tanned?

You know exactly the effect that summer’s high temperature can have on your skin. It’ll leave you red, looking flushed, and let’s face it- who wants that? But fortunately, there is a cure.

Not only do you not even have to run to the drugstore to get anything, but all you have to do is open your fridge and take out some buttermilk. That’s right, I said buttermilk. It will save your skin because buttermilk’s pH level reduces redness and inflammation very quickly and is much thicker than milk so you can actually let it sit on your face.
