Featured Tip the Day How to Make a Perfect Hot Oil Bubble Bath 1. Put a rubber mat in to prevent slipping. 2. Fill the tub with water that is toasty warm but not too hot. 2. Pour in your favorite suds maker, bubble bath soap or even dish washing liquid. 3. Add one cap full of baby oil. It will stay on the surface mostly but what drifts onto you will leave your skin silky soft and moisturized. The steam will open your pores to deepen the effect. |
Leg Prep for Shaving Related Articles Natural Home Remedies for Acne and Dry Skin Hand Spa at Home for Dry Hands Natural Cleanses for Your Body This following skin prep is reprinted by permission from www.mangoboss.com, and modified for legs. 1. The key to a great shave is preparation. You must prepare your legs first. 2. Preparation starts with cleaning the skin. Why? If your legs are dirty, then when you shave you increase the chances of infection. The bacteria gets into the cuts. 3. Open the pores. The hair follicles, think of them like a shovel stuck in sand on the beach. You need to loosen the spikes up before you pull them out. To open up your pores, wash the leg with warm, then warmer water. You can if you have time, apply a hot towel to your legs or shave right after you get out of the shower. 4. While the pores are nice and open, apply a good thick cream. It's best to apply it warm too. You can warm it up by heating up a cup of water in the microwave (2 minutes), then put a piece of thin cloth over the hot cup. Squirt the cream on top of the cloth for about 10 seconds to warm it up. 5. Apply the cream to your warm skin. 6. Then, and only then, start to shave. 7. The above applies if you use commercial shave cream. If you want to use a brush, you don't work up a lather in your hand. You work up the lather in a little bowl with your badger hair brush. You heat the brush first by leaving it in a cup or bowl of hot water while you prepare your face as we went over earlier. Why badger hair? It's soft, it holds water more easily than other hairs. You don't have to spend a fortune on badger hair brushes. We found one for $10 at http://www.beautyrose.com/twdeshbrform. Some people also forgo badger altogether and use boar bristles. These work but they're not as good as badger. Register Now-it's free, fast and easy. You get way more out of this site when you register, including access to more natural acne treatments! |
