When Your Products Fail, What Can You Do?

Many of us purchase items hoping to get the best out of them. However, it doesn't turn out right always.

Let me commence with failed shampoos. If you're like me who lives on a budget all the time, then, having to throw away a shampoo that is relatively cheap or expensive is a big NO! But I find ways to enjoy some benefit.
*Give it to one of my sisters. It may work for them.
*Pre poo hair properly- this helps to condition the hair such that if the shampoo is too stripping, the hair is protected.
*If the shampoo isn't able to clean well, I use a lot! I get to benefit from it and speeds up the emptying process.
*Doesn't smell good? Use an after shampoo product with a great smell.
Rinse out regular conditioners:
*Pre poo with it. That way you can enjoy some benefit.
*Use a lot at a go! works to add moisture and get rid of it quickly.
*Mix it with other conditioners.
*Swap or give it to someone.
How about deep conditioner?
*Add oils to it- to improve its effectiveness.
*Heat it up; this has been proven to increase effectiveness and absorption rate!
*Add warm water to a deep conditioner that is too thick for you. Makes it easier to apply, get absorbed.
* Co-wash with it; some dcs work better this way.
* Last resort, swap or give it away!
Oils, moisturizers and leave ins:
*Use up the oils by pre pooing with it.
*If it's the mineral oil or petroleum issue, use a sulfate shampoo. That will clean the hair well.
* Use petroleum based oils on your soles and feet. Eg Vaseline softens and prevents cracks on the soles.
* Tingles too much? Add ordinary oils till it Tingles no more! I have given all my tingling oils out! I remembered  this technique recently.

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)
