S.O.S beauty: the beauty guide for quarantine
Raise your hand if you, in this period, find it hard to recognize yourself in front of the mirror: the hair has a visible regrowth and resembles a broom, the nails are a total disaster, the skin is dry or studded with imperfections (you have tried ten sweet recipes only in the last week.) In short, you need a total makeover!
But what if the beauty centers and hairdressers are closed and we do not yet know when the quarantine will end? It takes a long day of DIY, my girls!
Here is a beauty guide for the quarantine for all: how to tame the hair, take care of the skin and have fairy hands and feet, without the help of professionals.
Before giving you all the info on the products and the secrets of do-it-yourself beauty, look at how to have perfect skin in 7 simple steps:
Skin: specific care and skin care routine
First identify the problem with your skin. Since you've been home for a while, it may be drier due to the dryness of the air or, conversely, you are filled with pimples and blackheads because you are giving in to gluttony more often (and how to blame yourself, in these days food is a real consolation). In short, what does your skin need?
If dry skin is the problem, a super moisturizing treatment is urgently needed! Opt for a regenerating mask, preferably at night, night masks tend to be heavier and more effective than day masks and work for longer hours.
Our favorite is Origins Drink Up Intensive, with apricot kernel and avocado oil. A natural and nourishing treatment to rebalance the skin. On Sephora you can find it for 13 €!
A little tip: probably the heating on and other factors make the air in your home drier than ever! Buy a humidifier to regulate the humidity rate, on Amazon you can find them for less than € 20 and you can also use them as diffusers. essential oils!
If, on the other hand, your skin is filled with imperfections, especially on the face and back, you need to purify it!
First of all, do a nice detox: eliminate alcohol for a few days, limit sugars and too fatty foods and drink plenty of water and herbal teas!
Then move on to the purifying scrub: one for the face and one for the body to cleanse the skin in depth and repeat the operation once or twice a week!

Hair: regrowth and hydration
It is true that we are always at home but between smart working and video calls with friends, we still like to be in order.
If you have white hair or dye it regularly, your problem is regrowth which immediately gives us a scruffy look. No fear! On the market there are practical and quick solutions such as covering sprays for regrowth. A little touch-up easy for everyone that lasts until the next shampoo, ideal for those who are not familiar with do-it-yourself dyes and the like. Choose the right one for you on Amazon!
If, on the other hand, your hair seems dry, dull and indomitable, you should moisturize it with a 100% natural boost. Like? Applying some castor oil on the lengths before shampooing and leaving it on for a couple of hours. Castor oil deeply nourishes the hair leaving it soft and hydrated.
One more reason to buy it? If you apply it on the lashes with a brush, it will give a boost to their growth, for a captivating look!

Hands and feet always in order
Gel and semi-permanent, these days, are a distant memory. After removing even the last tip, your nails are a real disaster, not to mention that the continuous washing of the hands has made them dry and irritated!
Take advantage of this period to let your nails breathe: remove the nail polish and dedicate yourself to curative manicures and pedicures.
In addition to moisturizing and removing nail polish from hands and feet, apply an oil to remove the cuticles, the annoying cuticles that grow around the nails. The oil is used to soften them to facilitate their removal but at the same time it nourishes and strengthens the nails, immediately giving you a more refined appearance. On Sephora it costs only € 8.90.
As for the feet, when we leave the house it will probably be time to get the sandals out! Let's prepare them for this moment with a peel. An exfoliating treatment that in a few days will remove all dead cells, eliminating skin and chapping to have soft and perfect feet.
