Re: Home Facials
If you’ve ‘opened’ your pores by steaming you can’t apply your mask the next day, If you’ve cleansed your skin really well to extract dirt/grime from your pores you must exfoliate and can’t do it another day. These steps were formed just as the basic skin-care routine CTM (cleansing, toning, moisturizing). It’s completely safe if you’re using products according to your skin-type and this is why facials are done once every 3-4 weeks.
If you apply a moisturizer before you bleach the bleach doesn’t harm your skin as it acts as a ‘barrier’ and only the hair becomes lighter.
jalp, if you’re waxing your arms why does she want you to bleach them, in Pakistan when they mention anything to do with ‘brightening’ they usually use what they call a ‘polisher’ that is VERY harsh for your skin and may cause a reaction. If you use a good moisturizer before you bleach, mix a mild bleach (do a patch test first to make sure you don’t have a reaction) and leave it on for no more than 5 mins. wash it off and spray chilled rosewater and follow-up with a ‘calming’ mask such as honey or aloe vera.
