In recent years, Brow Lamination has become the favorite technique for those who love to highlight their brows in a natural, non-invasive and temporary way. “It’s an innovative practice that allows you to achieve more voluminous and uniform eyebrows, providing a renewed and elegant aesthetic to the face,” explains Marina Groke, beauty specialist.

How it’s done

To shape, align and define the eyebrow hairs using this technique, the professional needs to follow a few steps, such as cleaning and preparing the hairs to receive the treatment. At this stage, the strands will be “straightened” and shaped in the desired direction.

Therefore, during this stage, the hairs are combed and fixed upwards, creating a more defined and voluminous shape for the eyebrows. Afterwards, a nourishing product is applied to condition the hair and ensure a healthy, shiny result.

Benefits

One of the main benefits of brow lamination is the ability to completely transform the look of the eyebrows temporarily. This technique allows the hairs to be shaped according to individual preferences, creating a more defined arch that lifts the eyes and fills in areas of the eyebrows that have gaps, providing a more voluminous and uniform appearance.

This treatment is temporary, which allows you to try different styles and shapes of eyebrows in a non-permanent, zero-invasive and painless way.

So, who was excited to ensure more aligned and voluminous eyebrows?

That’s because this way of doing your nails provides greater durability than classic nail polish, giving you more time away from the salon and leaving your nails beautiful for any occasion.

Want to know more about this technique? Nail designer Grazielle Matos, one of the biggest names in the segment in Brazil, explains the difference between the techniques and the care that makes them last longer. “As well as saving time, they save money because gel polish lasts longer, avoiding weekly visits to the manicurist,” explains Matos.

Gel polish and regular polish

Those who wear classic nail polish find that they peel off more easily and quickly. “It’s common for this type of nail polish to come off after three or four days, making it necessary to go to the manicurist once a week,” she says.

Gel polish, on the other hand, offers more color and pigment and stays on the natural nail for longer. “This technique lasts an average of 25 days, without losing its shine or peeling,” says the professional.

How does this technique work?

“To use gel nail polish, preparation is carried out, with dehydration of the natural nail and the use of specific products, such as primer and gel base”, advises the specialist.

“Very safe, the application must be done by a nail designer, since the enamel cannot come into contact with the skin and there is a need for a booth to dry and finish,” she adds.

Gel polish care

Simple habits that can be practiced on a daily basis are essential to make gel polish last longer. “Moisturizing the cuticle is essential, whether it’s regular nail polish or gel polish, because it ensures that the skin around the nail is always healthy and beautiful,” she says.

Don’t file your nails: “This way the nail won’t lose strength and we avoid the nail polish peeling off at the tips,” she says.

Wear gloves: “Every time you use a chemical product in your household routine, such as detergent, bleach, washing powder or chlorine, protect your nails. Some of them are corrosive and can peel the enamel”, highlights the specialist.

Pin

Don’t put your nails in your mouth: “Women who bite their nails remove nail polish more quickly because the acid in their saliva contributes to corroding the gel, damaging its aesthetics,” she says.

Below, check out some tips and habits for this moment in your beauty routine, ensuring strong, healthy and beautiful nails!

Step 1: Remove the Nail Polish

Pin

Wipe off any nail polish or product residue that is on your nails. To do this, avoid the chemical agents of acetone and bet on a compound-free remover – this helps not to damage the nails or dry out the skin of the hands.

Step 2: Cut and File Your Nails

Pin

To prevent your nails from breaking easily, trim their length and file them – always respecting their natural shape. Caution: use a nail buffer (the one to give shine and remove ripples) in moderation, since in excess they can thin and weaken the nails.

Step 3: Cuticle Care

Pin

Did you know that cuticles protect the base of the nail against fungi and bacteria? Therefore, the main care for them is hydration!

You can push them with a cuticle pusher or even remove the excess skin, but never forget to keep the area moisturized daily with a hand cream, thus preventing dryness.

Step 4: Applying the Base Coat

The base coat penetrates the nail and prepares it to receive the nail polish. You can bet on the strengthening and nourishing versions, in order to reinforce the health and protection of the nails.

Step 5: Applying the Nail Polish

Pin

Pin

Choose a good quality nail polish, explore the color options and pick your favorite! Before applying the product, gently move the bottle to mix and even out the color. Avoid shaking the bottle, as this can create bubbles and ruin the enamel.

Then apply two coats to each nail to ensure intense, smudge-free coverage.

Step 6: Applying a Glossy Top Coat

After cleaning the corners with the help of a toothpick, cotton round and nail polish remover, finish the enameling with a product that adds shine, helps in complete drying and increases the durability of the enamel.

This is because, in recent years, the issue has been raised as to how conventional deodorants are filled with suspicious ingredients that can compromise human health. Then, the most natural deodorants entered the scene and even broke a taboo: sweating is not a bad condition for the body!

If you are a fan of natural beauty, but still don’t know how to make the transition from conventional deodorants to more natural ones, check out some tips and benefits of this change in your beauty routine below.

Difference between conventional vs. natural deodorants

Pin

Conventional deodorants have chloride and aluminum salts in the formula, ingredients that inhibit the natural odor throughout the day, which is nothing more than the mixture of skin bacteria and sweat. In addition, aluminum clogs the pores of the armpits and unbalances the skin in the region.

Typically, these products also contain synthetic fragrances and other ingredients that can even have harmful effects on the ecosystem, not to mention causing skin irritations such as itchiness and redness. Nobody deserves that, right?

Pin

Deodorants with more natural formulas on the other hand, usually have ingredients such as essential oils, butters, and others that do not harm the body, do not accumulate in the pores, and, in the long run, control bacteria and sweat produced by the body, without preventing perspiration. Oh, and of course, this type of product does not harm the ecosystem either! You can find this product in liquid, paste, spray, classic roll-on and even stone versions (the famous crystal!).

How to make the transition?

Pin

The transition from conventional to natural deodorant requires (a lot of) of patience. You may have to test a few formulas and versions of the product until you find the one you like best. Not to mention that the body goes through a chemical adaptation, since you are exchanging harmful substances for natural ones.

If you fear sweating more than you are used to, it may be best to make this transition during the winter, as sweat production is usually lower.

Pin

Before applying the product, wash and dry the armpits very well. Once a week, you can use an exfoliant or a vegetable loofah to deeply clean the region. Apply the product and voilà, more natural underarms, haha!

Oh, and remember: adaptation time varies from person to person. In the beginning, you may feel the need to reapply the product, so be sure to do so.

The first advent calendar appeared in Hamburg, around the 1900s, where pictures were pasted on a card, from the first of December to the 24th. To this day this kind of calendar is super popular in European countries and in the United States, but it has gained a certain upgrade, since you can find calendars for chocolate, alcoholic drinks, and our favorites: the skincare and make-up calendars!

Over the years, different brands and companies have created their own calendars, usually consisting of miniature and even full-size products.

These calendars are breathtakingly designed and even work perfectly as a beautiful decoration until Christmas Day. Want a calendar to call your own? Check out some options below:
