Hair Problems in the Summer!!!! It's pros and cons The full comparison!

we all need to get rid of some hairs on specific parts as the clothes get shorter and sleeveless.

There are a lot of Epilator out there

1. Shaver

Pros : the most used and least painful method to cut your hairs.

Cons : leaves the root of your hair, cause skin irritation causing scars (you can reduce this by cutting the hair the opposite direction it has grown)

2. Tweezers

Pros : Cheapest method like shaver, since you pull out your hair roots it last longer

Cons : can cause pore infections, takes a long time because you are pulling the hair one by one, also very painful

3. Waxing

pros : we melt the wax and apply it on the skin pulling all the hair at one pull. Since all hair roots are gone, it last longer and does not leave hair mark

cons : have you tried it before? it's painful and can cause skin irritation and dryness

4. Waxing Cream

Chemical way of melting off hair

Pros : does not cause pain or scars, and last 1.5~ times more than shavers

Cons : If your skin is sensitive it can cause skin troubles because of the chemical ingredients, especially around the thin skin like your armpit can cause pore infections

5. Shaving Machine

There are two types, one pulls out the hair the other shoots laser beam to destroy your hair (how cool is that!)

Pros : longest lasting time and less painful

Cons : one time expensive investment

THING TO REMEMBER "BEFORE" YOU SHAVE YOUR HAIR!

Before shaving your hair

1. before you pull out your hair lets give a small warm up for your skin by either doing a warm shower or placing warm wet towel over the place that you want to shave.

WHY?

Because if you warm your hair more easier and softer your hair will be pulled, cut, laser shot at.

2. If you exfoliate the parts before shaving can help your hair shave better also prevent any burnt darkening look.

THING TO REMEMBER "AFTER" YOU SHAVE YOUR HAIR!

1. Do a cold steam for your pores to relax any irritation your skin got from shaving.

2. if you use wax or waxing cream use a cotton pad to wipe off any remaining of the product

3. Use good moisturizing product to give moist and if you are going out use a sunblock

Myth and Truth about Waxing

1. If you shave your armpit will you sweat more?

NO

Your hair and your sweat glands are two different thing and does not effect one another just because you cut off your hair doesn't mean sweat glands multiply. However the reason why you feel it's more sweaty is because your hair used to soak off your sweat now that your hair is gone your clothes will soak the sweat causing water marks and feeling as if you are sweating more.

2. If you shave you smell more?

NO

The smell you have under your armpit is the smell of sweat and viruses growing. Any type of shaving tools does not effect this. So it's not the tools that causing the smell.

Actually the more hair you have the more easier for bacteria and viruses to grow under your armpit because sweat doesn't evaporate. Shaving actually helps prevent the growth and even though it's barely noticeable helps you smell less.

All-Time Popular Moisturizing Ingredients VS Current Trend In Korean Skin Care Moisturizing

These days I see a lot of product in Korean Market where products are advertised that they 'increased' moisturizing features. Yeah, well I know all too much about ingredients to fall for such "exaggerating ads". However I did notice bit of a change in moisturizing ingredients, and the change on the effect of the same moisturizing ingredients.

If you have read my post in skin care you know that dry skin results primarily from low moisture levels on your skin. You can re-hydrate your skin by skin care products that helps your skin regain the lost moist from whatever you been torturing your skin with (heater, electronic, harsh cold winds, excessive cleansing, etc).

Yes you can decide the best product for you through advertisement and reviews but it's best to recognize some of the ingredients that you should be checking on the product before use.

How to Have Flawless skin! Best Tips You Must Know About Pore Care!

As we get older we slowly notice pores getting wider and wider. As the pore grows so does our concern.

I know I have talked about taking care of pores using clay mask, sleeping and sheet masks, exfoliation, tightening etc. However I am getting emails about how they are getting ance or pore problems when they are using these products or getting them even though they do 'pore care'. First I thought it was the product problems but it couldn't be because I am using them myself. I realized that it was the method and the way you take are of the pores causing pore widening and pore problmes.

Today I will sum up all the pore care once and for all! So that your pore concerns is no longer a concern.

WHY IS MY PORE GETTING BIGGER???

To fix a problem you gotta know the reason for it. 

When you get through your teens your skin start to create a lot of greasy skin oil. With that so does the size start to grow. The reason why your pore widens by age is because collagen and elastic in your skin starts to loose it's tight structure. Because the pore widens downwards thanks to the gravity it looks bigger than it actually is.

BUT YOU CAN STILL PREVENT PORE WIDENING IF YOU TAKE CARE OF IT RIGHT

Let's get the facts right first.

#1 If you sweat your pore widens?

NO

Sweat comes out of your sweat glands not your pores so it doesn't matter at all.

However after sweating if you do not wash the grease and unclean sweat components could cause pore problems by causing infections and these can cause pore widening. 

So wash your sweat off to prevent this.

#2 Widened Pores Can You Really make it disappear again?

NO

I am sorry yes, there are products out there that advertise they tighten pores but it's really hard to tighten up a pore that has widened. But that doesn't mean you should give up, you should fix your habit and way you take care of it to prevent it getting wider. Which I will explain more later.

So really? The product doesn't work?

It does seem to work but only give a little effect in my personal experience.

Most products out there has Alcohol, Entol, Camper, Witch Hazelthat makes it FEELS like it's tightening but this irritates the skin causing more skin oil which can cause pore widening even more.

#3 Skin Treatment is it really worth it?

Depends

Skin treatment can help the pore however it depends on how you take care of your pores afterwards, it could either help or the irritation can just cause your pore widen up and get sensitive. 

After skin treatment remember to talk with your doctor how you can make sure this doesn't happen. It will require long time after treatment care to make sure it's worth your money.

#4 Too much Primer is not good for your pores?

Depends

One of the ingredients primer has silicon ingredients that creates a layer over your pores if skin can not let go of skin oil it could just blockage and if infected a terrible painful acne. 

#5 Pore that loosen with age is it possible to reverse it?

YES

Lose Pores of age

You need to make sure you start preventing. 

The things that helps loosen pores are the following

Tighening, Moisturizing, Sun Block

These three is the golden rule for tight flawless skin.

So now that you got that fact in order you need to know how to take care of the pores. 

#1 Skin Temperature

Pore are very sensitive to temperature.

The higher the temperature the pore ages faster.

The good temperature for your pores 30~32℃ 

*Tip about cooling products

Ethanol , denatured alcohol, di-methyl ethyl propane etc, these ingredients give the product a cooling feeling. Sometimes these steal the heat out of the skin can cause irritation. Remember to test it the product out before purchase.

#2 Tightening Care

This is something you should do every day. 

Never stop lifting your skin to keep the skint tightened!

With moisturizing cream / oil apply on your skin and pull the skin from the chin towards upwards to the ears and side of your eyes.

I always do this massage every day in the morning at night when I do my skin care.

#3 Oil Control

Pore widening happens often to oily skin and this is why.

Too much cleansing! I know... you must have heard about two step cleansing which is great however, if can also just irritate your skin more causing more oil skin.

Two step cleansing is to make sure your makeup is erased properly. 

I use Banila co cleansing cream to melt eye and lip makeup and use a none-irritating cleansing products to get rid of the rest.

After you cleans your skin well and clean (this is more important than cleansing your face multiple times) Get rid of oil stuck in your pores with BHA ingredient products. 

Just by clean care of your pores can keep your pores causing problem.

PLEASE DON'T DO THIS EVER!!!!!

#1 FALLING ASLEEP WITHOUT ERASING YOUR MAKEUP!

Now I get angry whenever I get emails from readers who has pore problems and not washing your makeup is the reason. 

Not washing your makeup can cause skin trouble and skin aging.

If you had a drink and fall asleep without washing off your makeup, this just speed things up because alcohol increase skin temperature, which opens up pores and the makeup just clogs your pores much easier.

Without work you can not keep a healthy flawless skin.

Don't let your laziness cause you trouble.

 9 Skin Care Routine For Extreme Dry Skin.

#1 Cleansing Cream. Read Review

Sometimes I might use cleansing water (Scinic All Day Fine Pore Cleansing Water) But I use the cream more often both are not irritating and the main purpose of this is to erase any makeup at night routine or if my skin is extremely greasy I would use a two step cleansing method.

#2 Cleansing Oil. Read Review

It s a good product although I am slowly looking for something new to try out. But for now great makeup eraser and washer :)

#3 Cleansing + Toner. Read Review

This product has exfoliation you can use for daily use. Has whitening effect and moisturizing effect which I really enjoy these days.

#4 Hera Mist Essence See What Others Are Saying(Amazon), Hera Mist Essence

I use this mist these days and I like it! I am using just to make sure it's moist before I lock my skin moist with facial oil. I tested out using before and after and I feel the if I use it before it seems to be less drying through out the day

#5 Facial Oil See What Others Are Saying(Amazon), Ebay
I need facial oil you see and I like this because it doesn't feel greasy afterwards it turns baby powder soft after its been absorbe to the skin.

#6 Essence Read Review
See what this essence does! Snail ingredients Love them! very helpful for dry skin and wrinkle care and whitening care all at once!

#7 Eye Cream What Others Are Saying(Amazon), Ebay
I love this eye cream because it was the one that last the whole day without the dry itch around my eyes! It might be different between skin type but this worked perfect for me :)

#8 Snail Cream Read Review
Although I like Mizon Snail Cream better but it seems to cowork with the essence well enough for me to finish this off.

#9 Nutrition Cream What Others Are Saying(Amazon), Ebay
I like this cream although its not technically a nutirtion cream although using nutirtion cream would be better, I feel if I use nutrition after facial oil and snail essence it starts to get heavy that's why I like using this because even though it has the balm oil texture, the oil doesn't feel heavy as you think it would be. Plus the oil barrior helps keep the moist form dehydrating which happens even if I wear a nutrition cream.

This is my first routine skin care introduction I hope it helps some of you.
It's working for my skin might not work well with yours but these are all great products worth taking notice. I advice you to see at least 3 other reviews about the product before you go on purchase. It's best to buy some samples if you can :)

5 Common Myths About Waxing Your Hair

Us as women we all wax our hairs often in the summer when we have to show our sparkly legs on the beach. Even if you are someone who prefer to become one with nature, you will think about waxing one point in your life. There are a lot of Truth and Myths about Waxing in various places. I'll sort out the truth for you.

I'll answer 10 common myths and tell you the truth about each of them.

5 Common myths About Waxing Your Hair

#1 If we use shaver does the hair grow thicker?

Your hair does not get thicker, it's just that you broke the hair in the middle which makes the hair look thicker. Shaver and hair thickness has no relation.

Reference : http://www.letsfaceit.today/waxing/

#2 If you shave your arm pit do you sweat more?

NO!

Your hair root and your sweat glands are totally different things They are in a totally different location! The reason why you feel that you are sweating more is because, when you sweat your hair used to hold some of the sweat from rolling down your skin. Now that it's gone, you can feel every single drop of sweat rolling down your skin.

#3  Bikiny Waxing Is it okay to do at home?

NO!

Bikiny line is where skin is very weak and sensitive, if you use the wrong equipment or use the wrong method you can get your pores infected. High irritation can give side effects. I suggest you get a professional help.

#4 Lazers is it permanent?

NO. 

I am sorry ladies do not think that lazers are permanent. However lazers actually do help the hairs grow thinner and grow slower. To make it permanent, you'll need consistent treatments.

#5 Is it bad to wax every time I grow hair?

YES.

I know there are girls who wax every month or so, but too much waxing will cuase various skin diseases. Also cause skin darkeness.

Now I got this timeline from my dermatologist.
She suggested

• For Shaver, Cream
  Use once every 1~2 weeks
  (If you ever feel pain or any irritation stop immediately)
• Wax Type that pulls out the roots of the hairs
  Use once every 2~4 weeks
  (If you ever feel pain or any irritation stop immediately)
• Professional Waxing with the wooden stick and all
  Use once every month (This is to match the monthly cycle of your dead skin cells)
  (If you ever feel pain or any irritation stop immediately)
• Half Permanent Treatments like lazers
  Use Once Every 4~8 Weeks
  (If you ever feel pain or any irritation stop immediately)

More Tips!

1. When you do waxing the most important thing is keep it CLEAN!
I seriously mean it, if you get troubles after waxing or if you feel like your skin is getting sensitive every time you wax You really need to use CLEAN Waxing Products CLEAN Skin.

2. After Waxing give your skin some irritation cool down time.
You can easily do this at home with a cold towel, or ice massage to release the irritation. A thick moisturizing care would protect your skin from getting sensitive.


3. My dermatologist said "No shower for 1~2 days." 1~2 DAYS! I really said DAYS not weeks. I know there will be girls crying, How can I not shower for 1~2 Weeks?! And I would have to point them to my blog page again and say "Read Careful dear"


4. In Korea other than waxing string waxing is also very popular.
It's a speical treatment that plucks out even the smallest soft hairs that you can barely see. These hair is barely seeable and it also protects your skin. There is no reason for you to over wax any part of your body. This can easily lead your skin to become extrememly sensitive.

Korean Skin Care Tips For Age Range, Not Surgery but Beauty Care

Not Surgery but Beauty Care

Korea the love of more beautiful face is probably the most highest. It got to a point where it start influencing various of beauty methods. 20's want more dynamic face while 30's want a face more younger.

20's : Eye Lashes Extension

Eye lashes extension is putting fake eye lashes between the real ones with glue. This is very popular among women with short eye lashes.

You might have seen mascara that makes your eye lashes longer which makes your eye more lovely. This extension will help with the mascara step which makes the makeup time overall shorter and faster. 

Usually this doesn't feel fake and it last 3~6 month.

You can even choose the eye lashes length depending on your eye lashes and there is no pain or puffiness afterwards. But eye part of the skin is the weakest part of your face. If you are not careful and let none professional person do it for you it can leave a scar. So only do it in places that you can trust they have the skill to do it right!

Tint Makeup

These days you see this very often inside TV Korean Channels. K pop stars prefer half permanent makeup that is natural enough to seem like face without makeup. Before it wasn't so positive impression because it sounded like tattoo. In Korea tattoo is very negative impression. 

But now there are various color and type of makeup that give natural look and give the bare face very textured look. You can even fool your Boy Friends that you are born with texture. I have! (hope he doesn't read this post!)

Not only that it is strong against sweat and water and shorten the time for makeup. My favorite product is Clio Tint Eyebrow you should check it out. 

30's 

Young Face Acupuncture

I have no idea how many of you can get this treatment. In Korea it's easy to get these treatment. But if you do visit Korea someday or have someone who can do this. By all means I should say it's worth it. Why is it popular? Well unlike plastic surgery you don't need to open any skin and it's much safer and yet you can stop aging signs.

I heard it about 50,000~60,000KWN(Korean Currency) and you do it 5~10 times putting in needles where your blood flows giving skin the tightening effect, tightening pores, and better blood flow so that toxic can come out easier.

It's much cheaper than plastic surgery and yet you can see great effect so I heard many 30's do this.

Planting Fats

LOL, I see this among a lot of older generations of celebrities in Korea. They put their but fat on their face! I know it sounds gross, I know that my time will come. But the reason why people and even celebrities prefer this is because it helps your face look 10 years younger by making your face round like a child. Since the fat is part of your body ther is less danger in the process and after. Plus you get to get rid of the fat on part of your body! LOL

Paraben, Chemcials in Cosmetic

Free of Paraben? Does this mean that product is SAFE?

Simple truth about Paraben Free Products
In Korea a lot of cosmetic brands does "Free of..." or "No ..." Marketing and one of the most often seen marketing is "Free of Paraben" marketing. It's kinda like Diet cokes (Free of Sugar) product marketing, even if there is no Paraben (in drinks, free of sugar) the product has other ingredients to do the job.

Today I will inform you what other products you need to see before purchasing to insure that product is SAFE for your skin.

(What is Paraben AnyWay?)
It's a another form of alcohol that is re made for cosmetic use, but it is toxic to your body. To reduce the toxic Paraben has been made in various forms like Butyl> Propel > Ethyl > Methyl (Which is also in the order of the toxicity )
 Paraben is what helps the cosmetic to last longer and prevent microorganizm in the air harm the product or contaminate it. By reducing of the quality but the toxicity can hurt your skin and eyes or cause pimples.

The low cost and the effect is the reason why Paraben have been used so much but Paraben toxic can hurt your hormon balance and can be the reason for immature male.

No one can surely say that Paraben cause cancer but in the world of chemical lab the use of Paraben is decreacing.

So is it safe to use without Paraben?
Just because Cosmetic don't use Paraben doesn't mean that they are not using any Antiseptic, and it certainly doesn't mean that it is safer than Paraban. It's important that you look into ingredients closely.

Wish to know the dangerous 20 ingredients?
I have uploaded up in private community, if you wish to see the list feel free to join Lady Fox Google Community!

I am also planning on making Korean-English Dictionary of Ingredients so that you can always search up to see if that particular ingredients are safe!

Korean Skin Care Tips For Age Range, 30's Makeup Tips

30's Makeup

30's or 20's there is no big difference we want to look young and cover up our flaws. Let me show you the Korean Skin Care tips for 30's Makeup

30's BB Cream

To 30's 1 minute even 1 second of morning is very important to get ready for the day. Bb cream has features of sun block to base foundation. You can really reduce time with BB cream. The biggest flaw that BB cream was oxidation but now they are being upgraded (or already has been) in Korea.

With BB cream its okay to use brush or sponge, but if you use your hand using the warmth to spread. TIPS: if you want higher coverage, mix BB cream and Foundaiton in the ratio of 2:1. If you try to use concealer to cover completely the difference of texture can push the makeup around so be careful.

For honey skin what I mentioned earlier on this series, you can mix foundation with pearl base 1:1 than you can make a speedy honey skin makeup.

Concealing Skin Tips

These days in Korea it's better to say you look young than pretty. Because people in Korea really care about covering.. I mean who doesn't? Even if you are not from Korea when you see dark spot getting darker and darker you will only see that dark tiny spot.

For 30's Concealer is no longer a option. You want to apply shimmer base and on parts that has strong darkening you need concealer to cover it. If you wish to do the makeup more naturally I suggest getting moist shimmering base mixed with BB cream and roll the cream with a brush. This gives the skin better skin texture and yet the concealer look much natural.

Like I said you can use concealer if you have smaller part to cover. Its hard to use concealer if its your first but if you want to be free from skin darkening spot etc. There are pencil type that can be more helpful to beginners to use.

First draw the concealer on your hand and use your finger tip to smear the concealer soft and tap on the parts you want to cover. Easy right? As you get use to this you can start learn about using liquid concealers or cream concealers. My favorite is Clio Concealer.

TIP if you have a lot of wrinkle beneath your eyes use bright color shadow powder and apply little to cover. This will be your highlighter and covers dark circles.

This is a video about concealer that some one did here. HER RECOMMENDATION IS ALSO MY FAVORITE! I guess my favorites are everyone else's. I do hoped that she added The Face Shop Duel Concealer too.

Korean Skin Care Tips For Age Range, Makeup Skills that Makes You Look Younger

Makeup Skills That Makes You look Younger

20s and 30's has a lot of things in common when it comes to makeup. You want speed fast makeup technic and yet end up with 1 hour professional makeup skill that makes your skin tone beautiful. Or at least it's the biggest trend in Korea.

If I do a quick comparison with the western makeup and Korean. Is that western makeup tend to be dynamic and color using the original color of the skin. While Koreans focus more on the skin texture and doing a tone up for base color. But the reason why Korean makeup is so popular is because it helps makes your face look younger. Which is what every women wants!

20's : Quick Makeup

20's the busy time, battling with the time to get up and go to work. Or a boyfriends suddenly at your doorstep waiting for you. You need something that is effective and long lasting and it has to be quick!

I got this idea through 'Get it Beauty'

What she's used

(1) CC Cream : Apieu's aurora Luminous CC Cream (Purchase : Ebay, Amazon too expensive...just a personal opinion here...)

(2) Blusher : Apieu's Multi Blusher #2 

(3) Liptint : Apieu's Painting Tint (Purchase : Ebay)

(4) Eyebrow : MAC's Brow Liner 

(5) Eyeliner : Stilla's Smudge Crayon

This is a great method that I even use for just basic makeup that I do on free days. Loved how she just finished a good makeup within 5 minutes! I can do it within 10 minutes but not yet 5 minutes.

It's best to get a base product that has some what moisturizing and has good coverage that can brighten up your skin tone. Like CC cream it helps with long lasting brightening that you will love.

For Lips remember to use tint and always with tint don't smear but tap. It will look less messy if you  have flaky lips.

HD MAKEUP

This is very important these days when you have HD quality camera and tv. You don't want to show your wrinkles and pores because I could tell and even see celebrities pores. LOL!

To cover a lot of girls tend to choose to go for thick makeup but there are rules for perfect coverage.

First, you need moist and good condition skin. Why? Because healthy skin is what makes expensive makeup product to do its full potential. This will help cosmetic to cover skin troubles much better. In long run prevent skin troubles in first place

Second, You want your makeup to be light. Cover the skin problems but appear like you didn't do makeup. That's what makes skin more beautiful.

Lastly for last step you want moist finish with sparkling skin that has energy and has color. That's why I like liquid type blushers so using lip tint for blusher is a great method.

Pink Beam
Pink color was always women's best friend, pink blusher give lovely look and healthy look in one tap. Also give a young lady's cute look but it's best not to over do it, draw a nice circle around your cheek bones should do the trick

Creamy type can give a shimmer look like a painting. Giving a reflection and pearl sparkle that brightens up your face.

TIP for you. Blusher doesn't need to be use only for the cheeks. These days blusher powder is so well made that you can use for highlights!

Skin Care for Spring : Increase Your Skin Immunity!

In the Spring my skin start to send those sensitivity alert. Breaking out on perfectly good products that I used just a day ago. It gets worse after the cold days and sudden warmer temperature. My skin turns flaky and skin trouble starts to appear. This is all because of your decrease of immune which is effecting your skin.

I'll give you some tips to get your skin shield up and strong.

1. Reduce Clothes That Cause Sensitivity
Anything that using chemical made fabric and thick dye is something that cause irritation. No tights yet for the spring it blocks blood flow and I advice you to wear that for the summer. Anything cotton fabric is good alternative.

2. Have A Good 20 Minute Under the Sun Light
We do need the sunlight to give ourselves a good immune by opening up our blood vessels which helps your blood flow.

How I Do This?
My face is protected by sun block. But not in the morning before I do my skin care. I love a good Black Tea before I get my life started that's when I gaze out the window like a cat. (getting my sun light the same time!)

3. Pull Away From Salt
Salt speed ups aging by stealing away moist from your college within your skin. Reducing with salt also helps with fighting off the sleepy feeling that happens in spring after lunch.

4. Fresh Fruit Is The Rule of Beauty
Like always fruits is great for your skin and your health. Eat a lot of apple, lemon, orange, grape, tomato, pomegranate which has a lot of vitamin C. Especially apple has hemoglobin that helps with blood flow and skin strengthening.

5. Aerobic Exercise Helps With Skin Immunity
One temperature up means 5 times stronger immunity! A good aerobic exercise helps with getting your toxic out of your body. This is how you keep your skin moist and dewy glow.

How I do this?
Yoga is my favorite aerobic exercise. I do them before sleep because I am lazy to do it during morning. I gotta snooze off!

6. Release Your Stress By Nice Foot bath
If you do foot Bath it helps with blood flow and waste out toxic. This really helps your body to have higher immune system.
*In the temperature of 40~42℃(warm water) and do it for 10~20 minutes*

How I do this?
At night when I do good night care I put a warm water in a bucket and step in my foot. I also love to put in mint

We need to take care of our bodies from losing its immune system. Both for our skin and for our body so that we don't get those spring flue. These tips will really help with your health during the seasonal change .
FIGHTING for your Week Too!
