Each manicure, brow shaping, facial, or hair treatment becomes a moment of self-indulgence, a sanctuary amid a bustling world.
In the age of social media and ever-evolving beauty standards, the allure of flawless skin, luscious hair, and a perfectly manicured appearance has never been more enticing. Regular maintenance is the secret to maintaining a polished look, whether it’s your nails, skin, brows, or hair. However, there’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to beauty maintenance. By paying attention to your body’s cues and following these guidelines, you can craft a beauty routine that leaves you feeling refreshed, confident, and beautiful.
Remember, beauty maintenance isn’t just about appearances; it’s a form of self-care that allows you to prioritize your well-being. So, indulge a little, and let your beauty routine be your sanctuary in a busy world.
Nail Care
Whether you like it long, short, minimal, or decked out with intricate designs, your fingernails should be maintained every one to two weeks to prevent ragged cuticles, hang nails, and polish-stained nails. You can also use hand lotion or cuticle cream between your fingernails between your appointments to give your fingernails extra care. You only need pedicures once a month, especially if you’re diligent with exfoliating your feet.
Eyebrow Shaping
Depending on the speed of your hair growth and eyebrow shaping method, eyebrow shaping can be done once every four to six weeks. Everyone’s growth cycle differs, so paying attention to your eyebrows’ growth is best. To gauge if it’s time for them to get done, look in the mirror and see whether the hair is long enough to lie flat on the skin. If it is, it’s time to get your favorite eyebrow shaping treatment, whether it’s eyebrow threading, eyebrow waxing, or eyebrow embroidery.
Facials
Our skin is subjected to different daily stressors, which can take a toll over time. While maintaining a good daily skincare routine is excellent, facial treatments can specifically target skin dilemmas such as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and other blemishes. These can be done at least once a month, but this may vary depending on the type of facial treatments you plan on getting.
Hair Care
Like eyebrow shaping, the frequency of your haircuts and hair treatments varies depending on factors like hair growth, hair type, and even your current haircut. The best way to know how often you need a trim or a touch-up is to ask your stylist how often you need one. Typically, shorter hairstyles need more maintenance than longer ones. However, no matter what hair length you’re going for, regularly trimming your hair is encouraged to prevent split ends.
