It’s Time To Stop Worrying About Cellulite

by

Turn around, stick it out, baby got back… and cellulite. Just the thought of cellulite makes many women panic, but it’s time to settle this once and for all. If anyone has made you feel ashamed because of the «orange peel», you can work your deserved «Hot Girl Summer» and sashay away, or educate them with the facts. Better yet, do both!

The NATURAL Truth About Cellulite

During the sweltering days of summer, the thought of putting on a swimsuit can be daunting, especially if you’re nervous or worried about what others might be thinking about your backside. There are definitely measures that can help to reduce the appearance of cellulite, but the fact of the matter is, it is 100% NATURAL! With Photoshop and Facetune making women in our Instagram feeds and on the magazine stands looking absolutely flawless, it can make us feel like we are the problem. Truth is, 80-98% of the female population has cellulite. So why do we waste so much time and energy fretting over it?

Unjustified Insecurities

For many women, there is the fear of judgement by their peers, or that men won’t be attracted to them for not having a perfectly smooth rear. However, if you just ask your male friends like this woman did, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn guys couldn’t care less about cellulite. (Unless he’s a serious jerk, in which you’re most definitely better off without him.)

What Exactly Is Cellulite?

So what exactly is cellulite? This skin dimpling is formed by fat deposits that press through connective collagen fibers beneath the skin. And size has zero to do with it. Women of all sizes can get cellulite, because it is largely controlled by hereditary and hormonal factors.

Cellulite appears primarily on the areas of the body with least circulation, which is why we often see it on the back part of our legs. If you are concerned about the appearance, doing strength training exercises such as lunges and squats can help to reduce the dimpling. Your blood circulation will increase from the exercise, and the muscle toning will help to fill out the areas. Regardless, it’s most important to feel comfortable with who you are this summer (and always)!

Your Shower Routine Is All Wrong (And How To Fix It)

by

Considering the thousands of showers we have all taken in our life-time, most of us would probably say we are pretty well trained when it comes to our cleaning habits. Which is why the news that there is actually a wrong way to shower might be a BIG shock for you. Chances are- you’re probably committing some of these bathing blunders!

Long Hot Showers Damage Your Skin

You might feel like a new, relaxed version of yourself after taking a long hot shower. However your skin is screaming at the amount of damage this causes. Hot showers for longer than 5-10 minutes dry out your skin and strips it of all its natural oils, leaving your skin weathered and likely to age more easily. Keep it short and sweet, or lower that dial!

Always Shampoo First, Body Second

Yup, there IS a proper order when it comes to sudsing up. Shampoos often have more chemicals and harsher ingredients than body washes, so lathering up with body wash after rinsing out shampoo ensures you wash all way all residue. For the days you shave, it’s best to save this step for last too, as the moisture and heat helps your pores to open up and facilitate a closer shave. 

Lose The Loofah

Loofahs seem like a great shower aid for exfoliating, but these scrubbers are rough on the skin. What’s more, Loofahs are also hard to clean, and when left out end up becoming cesspools for bacteria- gross! A cleaner, safer alternative is a washing flannel cloth. The material is both softer on the skin, and super simple to to wash.

Skip Washing Your Face In The Shower

When we’re in the shower, it seems only natural that we wash our face along with the rest of our body. However, the temperatures of the water are often too hot for the delicate skin that’s on the face, leaving it even more susceptible to damage and stripping of essential oils. Rather, you should wash your face in the sink with cooler water or micellar water. If the extra time is too much of a nuisance to wash your face separately, just make sure you don’t put your face directly to the stream of the shower head, as the pressure does extra damage to this skin.

The Absolute Best Face Wash For Every Skin Type

by

Finding the right face wash can be tough. Some scrubs are too harsh, leaving your skin red and rashy whereas others dry you out so much that each fine line seems to be exacerbated. And let’s not forget about the whole other issue of making sure all your makeup is washed off too. That is, unless you want some serious skin imperfections… Yikes.

Rather than spending hours reading through internet reviews or wasting your money on products you end up hating, we have the solution for your facial cleansing needs:

Micellar water.

Not Just Any Water

Created by Jean-Noël Thorel, founder of the French skincare line Bioderma, Micellar water is a face wash that combats the problems that are typically caused by tap water. Believe it or not, the water that comes from the pipes is very harsh for your skin, causing damage to your face that leaves it looking dry and dull. It even can make your skin defenseless to pollution and environmental harms!

How Is Micellar Water Better?

For starters, micellar water is much easier on the skin so that even those with sensitive complexions can use it. Micellar water also is extremely convenient to use, as you don’t need to rinse and scrub your face to make sure the product is off, as you would with any other face wash.

How Does This Magical Face Wash Work?

Despite having «water» in its name, this is no ordinary product. Micellar Water is a mixture of soft water and micelles, which are small oil balls that pull in debris from the skin. Essentially, these little micelles are like magnets for makeup, dirt, and oil, to leave your face clean naturally.

How To Wash Your Face With Micellar Water

Unlike a normal face wash, micellar water is best used when applied with a cotton ball or round. The micelles stick to the cotton making it easier to swipe across your face and pull in all the debris. The mixture is soft and hydrating, meaning you don’t need to rinse your face afterwards. You’ll notice instantly how much your skin glows after just the first use!

Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Photoshop Fails

by

The Kardashians have just finished their 16th season (yes, 16!) and it goes without saying that this family has invested a lot of money to look this good over the years. And with their own makeup, skincare, and clothing lines, it’s no wonder people follow them religiously on social media and try to copy their looks. However… with all the millions of followers and the amount of money reeling in for the sisters, you’d think they’d spend a little more money on editing their photos… Wrong. Here to breakdown some of the Kardashians’ worst photoshop fails on social media to date.

Just Forgo The Facetune, Kim

Facetune is an incredibly popular app used by many to edit photos. However, when using this photoshop tool, your face can go from subtly cute to straight up alien in a matter of seconds, as seen with Kim’s latest post.

Who are these… CREATURES! For starters, the lips of Kim and her friend on the left take up about a quarter of their entire face. I don’t care how much lip liner you use, even a clown doesn’t have proportions that big.

Second, the noses are just all wrong. While Kim’s friend on the left’s nose looks like it was sliced at the tip, her other friend appears to have a big droopy rectangle pasted onto her face. This is not natural.

While there are so many other photoshop fails to comment on in this photo, what stands out the most has to be the eyes. I can’t even look at the girl on the right for more than two seconds. She looks borderline possessed, while the others all just have shiny bug eyes going on.

Catch These (Kylie) Hands!

Being the youngest self-made billionaire in the world doesn’t mean you are immune to photoshop fails. This picture of Kylie showing off her curves and beautifully manicured nails might seem relatively normal.

That is, until you take a second look at that freakishly smooth and long hand! It’s practically the size of half her arm! And last time we checked, she wasn’t out ballin’ on the courts. We call this a serious fail!

Save Your Makeup Look This Summer With This Secret

by

You’ve just spent half an hour doing your makeup for a night on the town, complete with the perfect cat eye, when five minutes later you can already feel your face melting off. You haven’t even left your damn apartment, let alone entered a hot and sweaty bar… Ugh!

Summer can be a serious struggle when it comes to looking your best, but we’ve got the secret to keeping your face looking flawless all night long: setting powder.

All Setting Makeup Is Not Alike

You’ve probably already heard of a setting spray, which is a polymer-infused liquid spray to keep your makeup intact, however adding an extra layer of liquid to your face is not what you want to be doing in the summer. Talk about a sweaty, sticky situation…

Grease Free Is The Way To Be

That’s why setting powder serves as a real savior this summer. Instead of spraying on, this powder is delicately applied on top of your foundation with a powder brush. The ingredients are packed with oil-absorbing minerals, so your makeup is never greasy and stays put in the heat. While it’s especially useful during the summer time, given its grease-reducing properties, it is also a great makeup tool to have in your arsenal year round if your skin tends to be oily or combination.

Look Younger In Seconds

In addition to absorbing oil, setting powders enhance your makeup look by blurring fine creases and lines to make you instantly look younger. This way, you avoid getting the dreaded makeup that cakes and builds up in your wrinkles. No shame in having them, but that doesn’t mean you have to highlight fine lines for everyone to see!

Setting powder is also great for reducing the appearance of your pores. This way your skin looks smooth and soft all day long.

A Versatile Addition To Your Makeup Bag

It’s safe to say setting powder is a very versatile product, because you don’t need to apply it to your whole face for it to be effective. Just a few dabs on common problem spots along the «T-Zone» is enough to make a big impact on the durability of your makeup look. So long sweaty, hello sexy!
