GROOMSDAY COUNTDOWN
Here are some awesome lifehacks to make top-to-toe grooming a snap.
CARING FOR YOUR FEET
If you’ve tried all kinds of lotions and creams to shake off your dry, cracked feet problem to no avail, here’s what you need in your footcare arsenal: a pair of cotton socks. After you’ve exfoliated your feet and slathered them in a hydrating lotion, slip on the socks – it’ll bind the moisture to your feet and you’ll wake up to baby-soft feet.
CARING FOR YOUR HAIR
So your hair is looking less than lustrous... Why not try a DIY coconut oil treatment? Coconut oil is great for hydration and prevents breakage, thanks to its small molecular size that penetrate deep into hair shafts. Simply massage a couple of tablespoons of the oil into clean, damp and knotless hair. Then let it sit for about 20 to 30 minutes. For best results, wrap your oiled-up hair in clingwrap, put a towel over then leave it on overnight. You’ll wake up to smooth, shiny locks!
CARING FOR YOUR V
Regardless if you shave, pluck or wax off your pubic hair, there’s bound to be slight irritation and dryness after. But that shouldn’t frighten you off from landscaping your garden of Eden. Lactacyd Soft & Silky is dermatologically tested and is specially formulated to ensure your privates stay hydrated and silky smooth. Containing 10 percent more milk extracts*, this intimate wash nourishes, comforts and seals in moisture.
5 AWESOME THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT YOUR V
Let It Breathe
It’s a-ok to go commando when you go to bed – in fact, it’s great for your lady bits! When you wear tight underwear or pants, sweat can build up and get trapped, making way for yeast and bacteria.
Vaginal Discharge Is Normal
There isn’t a “normal” amount – it varies from person to person, and also depends if you’re on your period which causes hormonal changes. Unless your discharge smells funky or looks different than usual, don’t freak out.
Queefs Are Totally Fine
Also known as a “vaginal fart”, queefing happens when air that is trapped inside your vaginal canal gets expulsed. This can happen while exercising and during sex. So, there’s no need to be embarrassed about it!
Your Vagina Tells You If There’s Something Wrong
Whether it’s a bloody discharge that isn’t your period, an unusual amount of discharge, or an odour, they’re all SOS signs from your body. Don’t wish the problem away and seek medical advice instead.
Pubic Hair Is There For A Reason
It provides a cushion against friction that may cause abrasions, and prevents bacteria from easily entering our privates. But ultimately, it’s your choice. Just know that spotting a full bush is totes cool, too.
SPA THE DIFFERENCE
Heed these tips to get the full spa experience right at home.
1 LIGHT UP
Don’t we all love the smell of a spa? Spas burn essential oils, scented candles and incense to create a sanctuary-like atmosphere to relax the body and mind. A refreshing scent like eucalyptus is invigorating and can give you a quick burst of energy, while lavender and ylang ylang can help you relax. You could even dabble in customising your own scent by blending essential oils.
2 PUT ON SOOTHING MUSIC
Ever wonder why the music at the spa is either soothing instrumentals or sounds of nature? Well, relaxing music increases the production of serotonin that lowers blood pressure and increases happy thoughts. So whether it’s Enya or Norah Jones, be sure to get into the mood with the right tunes.
3 USE PAMPERING PRODUCTS
Do a full body scrub, soak in the tub, or massage your entire body with a rich lotion – these are some things you could easily replicate for a rejuvenating time. While you’re at it, pay attention to your lady bits with Lactacyd Revitalize, which goes beyond balancing pH levels. It also promotes skin elasticity and softness, thanks to nourishing ingredients like vitamin E and collagen. You should never leave your V out of the indulgence!
