Just a little bit of info..

Well, I won't be posting any manicures tonight, but I will be giving you guys some fun facts and tips from my week at cosmetology school. :)


First off, in one SQUARE INCH of your skin, there are more nerve endings than there are grains of sand in the ocean. FUN FACT!

Now, some tips.
Let me start off by telling everyone- a majority of america uses the WRONG TYPE OF SKIN CARE. Most of americans have combination skin. Wanna know how to find out? Wash your face with your normal skin care, and before applying moisturizer, let your skin dry for 20 minutes to an hour. If your skin feels really tight and dry, you're using something for oily skin, and you actually have combination. If your skin feels excessively oily, and like you haven't washed it at all, then you're using something for dry skin and you, once again, have combination. Make sure when you wash your face, it doesn't feel dry or excessively oily. If you need other information, let me know, and i'll do what I can.

Secondly, most of us go get our eye brows waxed at a nail salon. I'm also pretty sure we've all come home at least once and had bumps on our eye brows or had a scab. That, my friends, is because most NAIL TECHS are NOT licensed to wax. Cosmetologists and estheticians are licensed to wax. Ask to see their license if you're worried about it. Those bumps? Yeah. Its because they're using the same stick to apply the wax as they did on the last person. The scab? Its because they waxed over the same area twice. NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. Every time they dip the stick in the wax, they're supposed to throw it away after they use it. Even if its YOUR skin, they should NEVER double dip a waxing applicator. So that's what happened there.

Well, I know its a short post, but it wasn't a very interesting week. I'll hopefully have more next week!

Thanks for reading! Happy polishing!!
