10 Co-Washing Problems: (4) When And How Often To Co-wash?

-->
Today, we look at the issue of how much is too much? How many times can you co-wash in a week or month or even daily? There are three angles to this stumbling block:
  • The amount of time you have at your disposal
  • How much conditioner you have
  • How clean you want your scalp
It is obvious that most of us don't have the whole day at our disposal.  Examine your work schedule,  do you have enough time to hop in the shower to wash? Can you do it in the morning or the night? If you have  leave for work in the morning, can you co-wash and have dry hair before leaving? If it’s at night, can you have time do attend to your hair?

Another thing is how much are you willing to spend on conditioners? If you are a minimalist like me, you may want the conditioner to last you for at least 2 months. In this case and depending on your length, you may probably co-wash once a week . However, if you don’t mind using up bottles within a month,  and have enough time to do it on a daily basis, that will be your choice but remember to incorporate protein may be in a protein leave-in to prevent moisture overload.

How often do you co-wash? What determines this?

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts.  When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up  can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.  (check shop.ghanaianemprezz.com for all skin care products)
