Burns, What to Put on Them. Stupid Tip of the Day:

By Tia Cristy

Stupid Tip of the Day: Burns, What to put on them.
TipsfromTia.com Washing Hands Under Faucet

Well of course, it depends on the degree of burn. If you get burned extremely bad; losing layers of skin, call emergency for assistance!

But, if it’s a slight burn while cooking or from an appliance like a toaster or a curling iron, do not rush to put it under cold water. This is not good for so  many reasons. It takes longer for the burn to stop because it’s such a difference in temperature. If the skin has loosen, the cold will shock it to what could be a folded position.

Some people suggest butter. This is one, I’ve not tried. Butter is cold and maybe someone thought it would draw out the fire. But, putting butter on a hot surface distributes the heat evenly. When heat is in your skin you want it out. I’m not saying it doesn’t work, I’m just saying I’ve never felt like giving it a whirl.

The tip I’ve used, is to turn on the hot and cold to make it lukewarm and slowly shut off the hot to increase the cold. This method will help extinguish the burn that is still cooking inside and prevent shock to the skin.

Once the pain has been numbed, inspect the area (Do Not remove any skin if it is loose or broken, the skin in tact will help it heal quicker and cause less pain) and apply an antibiotic cream. (one with pain relief, if possible)

If the skin blisters, do not try to remove the skin. Drain the blister with sterilized items and repeat process over time if you are comfortable in doing so. If you are blistered, and unsure of what to do, call your doctor for assistance. Pus is very harmful if ingested so wash up thoroughly after the blister is broken and keep away from mouth and eyes. Keep the area clean, dry and medicated and it should heal quickly.

Argan Oil from Green Esthetics Contest

By Tia Cristy

Argan Oil from Green Esthetics Contest

 

I started using a pure Argan Oil from Green Esthetics. It’s pure Moroccan Argan Oil. It contains no additives.

So what results did I see from adding it into my daily routine?

I started it on my face. I’m very sensitive, so this was a true test. It was fantastic. The oil is light and absorbs quickly. I noticed fine lines reduce within a week or so. It calmed any irritation I had going on prior. Argan oil has been known to heal and prevent acne.

Next, I tried it on blown dried hair. The slight frizz was tamed, without being weighed down or looking greasy. Also the oil can be used on wet hair for a deep treatment, and then rinse out.

I only tried it on my nails for a few days. That’s were I noticed the crazy results. My nails grew rapidly and strong within three days. Now, I guess it was also a result from my hands applying the oil elsewhere prior, but still the results were quick.

Finding a New Stylist.

Finding a New Stylist.

J. Christian says it’s important to find your perfect hair stylist. It’s not an impossible task to find the person that meshes well with you and your hair desires. Just because you go to a salon and get a haircut, you’re not thrilled with, isn’t a reason to discard the other stylist in the salon. Also, just because your best friend or sibling loves one stylist, doesn’t mean that’s the one for you either.

J. Christian says, “Be bold! Interview your potential stylist.”

Why not? They are working for you, to make you feel happy and gorgeous, right? The worst feeling for a stylist is having a client unhappy with the results of their hard work. So make sure you are on the same page.

Some ideas on interview questions to ask…

If showing a photo of what you want, ask “Will this work for my hair type?”

“What kind of hair do you prefer working on… long or short?”

“What kind of maintenance should I expect with my hair?”

I think the question I would recommend most is asking, “Do you love what you do?”

We all know we do much better at something when we love to do it. Ask questions and take the initiative on your hair. Most stylist take pride in the fact that you are a walking billboard for their craft.

Is Argan Oil that Magical?

By Tia Cristy

 

Is Argan Oil that Magical?

Green Esthetics Argan Oil
Green Esthetics Argan Oil

Argan oil has been added here and there and just about anywhere, nowadays. Is it really that magical? It’s an oil that claims to be amazing for hair, skin, and nails, but when put to the test what does it offer?

I’ve learned that products that now contain Argan oil doesn’t hurt to have it in there as long as the individual doesn’t have any reaction to the oil. You can find it in shampoo, body cream, face cream, or nail products. The amount of Argan  oil in each individual product is hard to tell from some labels.

Personally, I started using a pure Argan Oil from Green Esthetics. It’s pure Moroccan Argan Oil. It contains no additives.

So what results did I see from adding it into my daily routine?

I started it on my face. I’m very sensitive, so this was a true test. It was fantastic. The oil is light and absorbs quickly. I noticed fine lines reduce within a week or so. It calmed any irritation I had going on prior. Argan oil has been known to heal and prevent acne.

The Perfect Shade.

By Tia Cristy

 

The Perfect Shade.

TipsfromTia.com_customized_cosmetics1

While j. Christian were discussing a new topic for our readers, Ashley who works in the back end of the studio approached me. She gave me insight to what her profession is. She’s a make-up chemist.

What exactly is that? She makes cosmetics from the scratch ingredients and personalizes it for her clients. Sounds expensive? It’s affordable! I set up an appointment for a personal mix.

When I got into the chair she wrapped a cape around me and started to find my base tone. It turns out I’m a mix between Ivory and porcelain. She then added in  reds, blue, and purple tones to get my absolute color.

After the color was the perfect shade, she then added other ingredients that those price make-ups claim to have. A dash of a glow, a few drops of anti-aging, and a smidge of a highlighter. Other things she could have added included sunblock or oil absorbents.

I don’t wear much makeup on the daily. I leave that stuff for the photo shoots. But after she applied it to my whole face, I was feeling light, not heavy.

Makeup artist, Mary stepped in to do some basic contouring ideas, while Ashley whipped up some glamorous eye shadow from scratch. It was really cool to watch the process unfold. I have used it as an everyday for a week and my skin actually felt better. Her ingredients have healing properties. And the neatest thing, the cosmetics look better the longer they are on. So by the evening, you look amazing to go out, instead of needing to refresh the makeup. What a bonus!

TipsfromTia.com_customized_cosmetics_31Ashley has her own full line that she is mixing on a personal level. From foundations, liquid, powders and mouses to eyes, cheeks, and lips.

You can make an appointment for a consultation with Ashley at J. Christian Studio.
