No one in their right mind wants to think about an aging face. However, knowing what causes it can help you formulate a plan or routine to minimize it’s future effects. Did you know there are two different types of aging? Well, in today’s Beauty Quickie we are going to briefly breakdown down to the two types of aging you must know.
Beauty Quickie: Aging Face -The Two Types You Must Know
There are two types of aging, Intrinsic and Extrinsic. Intrinsic is chronological aging. It is a natural process responsible for 20% of aging. This type can be very difficult to control because it is already determined by genes.
That brings to Extrinsic aging. Extrinsic is influenced by external factors. 80% of premature aging is caused by lifestyle choices. Which means you are still very much in control of what your face will look like. Factors include such things as sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial expressions, a poor skin regimen as well as an unhealthy diet.
Oftentimes women as well as men ignore taking care of their skin as a teenager or while in their twenties. Uh, wrong move babe! While it is never too late to start a skincare routine that will eliminate various skin issues. Prevention is still the best way to stave off any future problems.
Therefore, take the information in this post and use it to your advantage. Be aware of any factors that may cause premature aging and steer clear. Plus, regardless of your age you are never too young to start taking amazing care of your skin. If you do you can avoid a badly aging face and maintain a more youthful appearance.
Skincare Products: Thanks to genetics your skin may not “crack” but it is always good to help the process anyway. Don’t know where to start? Check out the Image Skincare Ageless Collection. The collection’s product range which includes serum, masque, cleanser and moisturizer; is specially formulated for aging skin.

Dry hair is a woman’s nightmare! Your hair is your crowning glory and the way it looks greatly impacts your overall appearance. Therefore, who would want their strands to appear unhealthy and messy aka… (frizzy and dry hair)? In this article we will quickly discuss why dry hair occurs in the first place and 7 natural remedies to easily fix it.
Tips for Dry Hair: 7 Quick and Amazing Natural Solutions
What causes dry hair?
There are many known causes of dry hair that include: environmental factors, use of too much heat products and not having proper nutrition. However, here are some of the additional things that are giving you dry hair.
Your shampoo is just too strong. Shampoo can be drying since it gets rid of dirt and oils. If you wash your hair too much or have a very strong shampoo, even the natural oil that is needed to keep your hair and scalp moisturized is stripped off.
Excessive blow-drying. We must admit, at times it’s hard to think of ever living without a blow dryer. Nevertheless, it must be said that it has the ability to draw out moisture from your hair. Also, towels can make our hair frizzy, so try using an old t-shirt instead for drying your hair if you’re not really in a rush to dry your strands.
Excessive use of heated hair styling products such as straightening or a curling iron makes moisture evaporate away from your hair. Therefore, instead aim to use an ionic or ceramic type of heated hair care products and always use a hair protectant product before dealing with these hair tools.
Environmental factors also affect your hair such as humidity, strong winds, etc.
Chemical treatments such as perming, re-bonding, relaxing and coloring alter your hair’s ph balance and moisture.
Malnutrition
Family Genetics
Excessive soaking in a chlorinated swimming pool.
Dry Hair: 7 Quick and Amazing Natural Solutions
Now that we’ve learned what causes dry hair, all we have to do is to stay away from these causative factors. However, if you are already experiencing dry hair, here are some natural treatments that you could use.
Avocado
Indication: Dry and Damaged Hair
Mash an avocado, seed and skin not included. Add one egg, then beat the mixture. This treatment will restore health and moisture back to your hair since it is rich in vitamins, fatty acids, and minerals. Apply it directly on your hair. Let it sit for 20 minutes, and rinse thoroughly.
Unboiled Milk
Indication: Dry Hair and Unmanageable Hair
Milk is very rich in protein and is widely known for its deep moisturizing capabilities. That combination will not only make your hair healthy and strong, but it will also leave your hair feeling super smooth.
Pour unboiled milk in a small bowl. Apply the milk directly to your hair and scalp using a cotton ball. Leave it for an hour and rinse thoroughly.
Butter/ Shea Butter
Indication: Dry and Dull Hair
This is also known for its deep moisturizing effects for your skin (scalp) and hair. Butter/Shea Butter are essential oils that are full of essences that work best to hydrate your strands and leaving them looking shiny and healthy.
Massage the butter directly into your hair in a circular motion. Use a shower cap to cover your hair/head and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual.
Banana
Indication: Dry Hair
This fruit is high in potassium, antioxidants, and vitamins that keep your hair healthy and hydrated. Eating them or using them as a beautifying treatment has both health and beauty benefits.
This can easily be prepared by mashing or blending two ripe bananas. You can also add an egg in the mixture to create a paste with a high moisturizing property. Massage this paste into your hair and scalp and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual.
Dry Hair: 7 Quick and Amazing Natural Solutions (Continued)
Honey
Indication: Dry and Frizzy Hair
This is a nourishing treatment for your hair. It also prevents frizz, leaving your hair smoother and silkier. Your natural hair color will also look more radiant after this treatment.
You can apply it directly to your hair. If you want your hair to look sleeker, you can apply the honey using a comb then let it sit for an hour. Prevent yourself from moving, clipping, folding, bending, and pressing your hair against any objects (Don’t use shower cap. Keep hair smooth as possible) Rinse and shampoo as usual.
Mayonnaise
Indication: Dry, Brittle, Unmanageable Hair
This is another great source of natural oil and proteins. It will make your hair healthier, smoother, softer and shinier at the same time. If you can put up with the sour smell, this is a great treatment that would pamper your hair to health.
You can directly apply this to your hair using slight circular pressure. Cover your hair with a plastic (shower cap) and let it sit for 30 minutes. Shampoo and rinse as usual. You can also opt to add other oils and essences like olive oil and coconut oil for a boosted effect.
Aloe Vera
This is a hair beauty secret that has been used even in the ancient times. Aloe Vera is 90% water plus added vitamins and minerals known to make your hair vibrant, well-moisturized, healthy, and smooth. Based on my personal experience, it helped my hair grow faster as well.
You can prepare a treatment paste by blending or spooning out the gel of the aloe vera leaf. Feel free to add oils and essences according to your needs and preferences that will help boost its effects. You can massage it into your hair and scalp directly. Use a shower cap to cover your hair, and let it sit for at least and hour. Rinse and shampoo as usual.
For best results, make this an overnight treatment and apply aloe vera paste before you go to bed. Cover with a shower cap and rinse in the morning after.
Tips for Dry Hair
Conclusion
There is no doubt that many natural ingredients are packed with proteins, vitamins, and minerals that help keep our hair healthy and moisturized. These treatments can be done 2-3 times a week to get best results for dry hair. They can also be used once every two to three weeks as maintenance for normal hair.
These are just some of the many natural treatments we could use to treat dry hair. You can mix oils and essentials with these treatments to boost their effects. If you know other natural hair treatments that were not listed, feel free to comment below to let others know.

Speaking of details, the Marc Jacobs label let out a few couture gems in regards to the Fall 2018 line. The couture brand gets into the overall vibe and selection of fabrics. MJ says,
“Sharp hats and even sharper haircuts. Introducing Marc Jacobs Fall 2018! Huge flourishes, gestures, broad strokes and silhouettes expressed in rich and gorgeous fabrics. From double faced cashmeres, meltons and tweeds to faille; moires, iridescent and flocked taffetas, radzimir, velvet and warp print satins.”

I recently spotted two of my favorite things. Ebony model Duckie Thot (duh) and an out of this world lip gloss color! The new Urban Decay Candy Flip Hi-Fi Lipgloss turns your lips into an artistic canvas filled with mesmerizing, sparkly details!
Seriously, Rihanna had it right; when it comes to beauty you should always, “Shine bright like a diamond.” Gleaming and dazzling makeup is not new to the makeup scene. For instance, for the past 8 months holographic and “galaxy” themed makeup products have garnered mass attention. This latest addition to the market by Urban Decay is right on par.
Candy Flip is apart of Urban Decay’s Hi-Fi Shine Ultra Cushion Lipgloss Collection. The brand is heralding their line as every girl’s new lipgloss holy grail. Moreover, the collection contains 20 new shades! They’re names are striking and immediately catchy. They are:
Jawbreaker
Candy Flip
SPL
Midnight Cowgirl
Fuel
Bang
Fireball
Beso
Dirty Talk
1993
Shadowheart
Obsessed
Big Bang
Savage
Snitch
Backtalk
Rapture
Naked
Snapped
Goldmine
Nonetheless, in regards to Candy Flip, I love that it covers two of the year’s hottest trends. The color Purple as well as bold hues in general. For 2018 Pantone has declared that Ultra Violet is this year’s Color of the Year. This luxurious color evokes a sense of royalty, ingenuity, originality as well as visionary thinking that points us toward the future.
Furthermore, bold color is taking over every red carpet and fashion house. Now is not the time to be boring. If you want to make a makeup statement then incorporate fun and festive tones into your look!
LOVE,
Arianne XOXO

Hair Quickie: Growing strands takes dedication, persistence and of course technique. Nevertheless, one should never skimp on the very basics either. Hair isn’t as fussy as we always make it out to be. It just needs TLC, moisture and nutrients to stay looking flier than Queen Bey in Formation. If you want longer hair then do yourself a favor and hydrate your scalp using aloe vera!
Why Aloe Vera
There are numerous reasons as to why you want to use aloe vera for your hair if you are not already. Here is a very short list of benefits:
Has the ability to activate new hair growth.
Cleans the scalp.
Can help lessen and in some cases prevent hair loss in men and women.
Boasts over 20 minerals that are essential for hair growth.
Reduces sebum (oily substance secreted from the scalp) that can be a culprit of slow hair growth.
How To Do It
It is truly a piece of cake in order to start experiencing the benefits. Simply apply aloe vera directly to the scalp and let it work its magic. Another way to use this plant is by adding it to your shampoo of choice. Regardless of which method you use you will be giving your strands and scalp much needed hydration.
There are already many products on the market that incorporate aloe vera into their formula. However, if you are a naturalist then using the gel extracted straight from the leaves is the way to go. Aloe Vera can help you grow longer hair so go ahead and give it a try!

Nevertheless, all these stylish ladies are bringing a huge spring 2018 accessories trend to the fore… the small handbag.
