For healthy hairthere‘s no secret to trimming the ends regularly and multiplying the treatments!

As hair is sensitized by our environment (pollution, friction, sun, fatigue, stress, etc.), it needs rich, nourishing care, but above all: moisturizing.

And nothing is ever as productive as natural, homemade skincare!

Today, a treatment that brings together two hair care essentials: honey and banana!

Honey has strong moisturizing properties, making it an excellent hair care product!

All hair needs hydration, whether it’s dry, oily, curly, frizzy or straight… honey is perfect for everyone!

Bananas:

Moisturizing too, and rich in vitamins A and C, bananas are also a staple of homemade hair care!

They can be combined in many hair care recipes, but this time we’re doubling our hydration by combining them.

Recipe:

We mash a banana with a fork or blender – a whole one for long hair, and half a banana for hair above the shoulders – until the texture is almost liquid, then add 3 tablespoons of honey.

Blend until smooth and even, if necessary, add a small amount of vegetable oil (coconut, olive, jojoba, argan, avocado…).

On detangled hair, we apply our mask from roots to ends, insisting on the ends. We cover the whole with our very chic shower cap or with cling film (the heat will open the hair scales and help the treatment to penetrate) and we leave it on for as long as possible, 20 minutes minimum, but 2 hours is even better.

Once rested, the mask is removed with a gentle shampoo, sometimes two washes are necessary, and don’t worry, since honey is rich in sugar, it can feel as if your hair is going to be impossible to detangle. Once rinsed, it will melt under your fingers with no worries!

Apply your conditioner, rinse again and admire the result!

There’s no need to spend a fortune on our treatments, your hair is soft, shiny and moisturized, and your lioness’ mane is yours!

A must-have!

So today, we’re giving vegetable oil makeup removal a try. Gentler than a traditional makeup remover and richer than micellar water, oil is a very interesting choice for makeup removal.

How does it work?

Vegetable oil will not only rid our skin of impurities, traces of pollution and, of course, makeup, but it will also deeply moisturize and nourish our skin thanks to its various antioxidants, essential fatty acids, omega 3 and vitamins!

For this to work, we choose it to be oily, whatever our skin type. In fact, particularly gentle and non-abrasive (forget the wipes that strip like Mr Clean), it’s perfect for sensitive skin.

Also ideal for dry skin, it is just as suitable for combination and oily skin, contrary to what you might think!

As the skin is naturally covered with a hydrolipidic film, all skin types, including oily skin, need softness, hydration and, yes, oiliness, it will regulate sebum.

How to choose it?

Jojoba oil is softening and balancing, perfect for combination and oily skin.

Apricot oil gives a healthy glow and fights aging, just likeolive oil , which is very effective and economical, or avocado oil , which is very popular with dry skin and is also very good against skin aging.

Coconut oil , with its heavenly island scent, also removes make-up and is suitable for all skin types.

Sweet almond oil remains the safest for even the most sensitive skin!

There’s nothing to stop you mixing them together to benefit from all their virtues – it’s up to your imagination!

This time I mixed avocado oil into my coconut oil!

Is it worth specifying that it must be organic, virgin and first cold-pressed?

Choose opaque or dark containers, which make your oil last longer – rancid oil on the skin is a no-no!

How do we proceed?

Nothing could be simpler: just take a small amount of oil with clean, dry hands and apply to the face, massaging in a circular motion from the center outwards.

Make-up dissolves in the oil, and all that’s left to do is remove the excess with your usual cleanser.

You can finish off with a floral water to rid your skin of limescale!

Your skin is now makeup-free and ready to receive your night care, before you curl up in Morpheus’ arms!

“Another look Emma Emma.

Or “The mental load”,
Are you concerned?

In this comic strip, Emma illustrates a recurring problem often poorly expressed by women…

Vacations. Back from maternity leave, Emma realizes that her colleagues thought she was on vacation…
The children. Planning, organizing, taking care of… women are caught up in these roles, which demand a great deal of attention and organization. Yet she often finds herself alone in the home to answer these questions…

Emma is a 36-year-old computer engineer who draws in her spare time. A feminist and revolutionary, she scoured the press and took an interest in the little stories of everyday life. She cross-references these stories with current events and puts them into images to shed political light on them.

On sale for 16 euros online and in many bookshops.

1: Stop the war of the buttons before going to bed!

No more torturing your skin with your fingers, even if that pimple is so tempting… We use “precise tools” by disinfecting the skin well before and after with, for example, “hexomedine”, which you can find in pharmacies (a transcutaneous disinfectant which can also be used to make an inflamed pimple disappear). A pimple squeezed with the fingers can become infected and look much more visible, triggering others all around. It can create a scar and even a brown scar, depending on the skin. So the best way is to invest less than 15 euros in these different tools adapted to each problem. Even if some of these tools may seem strange to you now, you’ll soon understand the purpose and function of each one – delicately, of course…

2: I don’t clean my skin like I scrub my bathroom!

Facial skin is very fragile, much more so than the skin on our bodies. Depending on our skin color, we are not all equal when it comes to external aggression. For example, white skin has 12 layers of epidermis. Asian skin has 17 and black skin 25. You’ll understand why we’re not all the same age because of our genetic heritage. The main reason we use creams is to act as a “protective umbrella ” for our epidermis. When you exfoliate, you remove 3 layers of epidermis and we need 48 hours to recreate a new one. During this time, you’ll find that your skin looks prettier – the “healthy glow” effect – but it’s short-lived… During this time, when your skin is less well protected, the door is open to redness, blotchiness, brown spots and pimples.

For my part, since receiving this advice from one of the best dermatologists in Paris, my skin is much less reactive. Of course, there’s no need to mention peels and lasers, which are “definitively forbidden”, as their side effects are “irreversible”. If you want a more intense treatment for your face, use “masks” to moisturize or rebalance. You’ll gently improve the overall appearance of your skin.

3: I’ll stop …staining myself!

One of the things that the many women I met had in common, and whose complexions were radiant and even despite the weather, was the use of an index 50 cream “every day”… Whether you like it or not, I agree, but one thing is certain: one of the primary causes of skin ageing is UV rays. We all have sun capital, and once it’s depleted and not renewed, our skin becomes increasingly sensitive.

Otherwise, the ultimate protection against the sun would be to wear an anti-UV mask!

As we mentioned earlier, we need a protective cream, like an “umbrella” for our skin. Be aware that basic sun creams last 2 hours maximum, and often tend to leave a white film or fluff…with the exception of some like “Skinceutic” which promises 8 hours or “Dermahael” up to 12 hours. It’s still more expensive than the others, but you really only need a few drops for the whole face. If you find that they leave a small white film, this will quickly fade, otherwise you can also mix it with a drop of foundation. If your skin has specific needs, you can apply a serum just beforehand.

Skin prone to “brown spots”
Caudalie anti-dark spot radiance serum + Skin Ceuticals SPF 50 sun cream, 100% mineral filter, 8-hour hold. For summer use only.

Extra serums and sun creams

With a “dry” tendency
This is the one I use every day, my favorite.
“Avène” moisturizing serum + “Dermahael” sun screen SPF 50, 12-hour hold.
I tested it all summer long, no sunburn, my skin stayed well hydrated, no white film or flaky effect and all that with just one application in the morning!

Acne-prone or damagedskin
“Patyka” Tea Tree Cream (treats acne well, the only really effective product I know of) + “Cicabio” SPF 50 Sunscreen (very moisturizing and repairing).

4: Don’t end up like a pink shrimp…

Allergies to certain products used in cosmetics are quite common. But some can cause severe redness or, in the worst case, oedema… Be careful with essential oils and perfumes. Essential oils should be used with extreme caution. To avoid an allergic reaction, I advise you to test a small part of your face for 5 minutes to see if you don’t have a reaction. I also recommend not using them during the day because of their photosensitive properties… It always comes down to this…

5: Not so pink water.

Despite all the efforts made by our cities to provide us with the cleanest water possible, it’s not as pure as you might imagine. Depending on the city, chlorine, nitrates… The best is to use thermal water bombs such as Avène or Evian, or a floral lotion (rose water, lavender, etc.). You’ll see that your skin is no longer tight or red, and your complexion will be more even.

6: I take off my mask before sleeping …

If you’re used to wearing make-up, the bestseller for removing make-up is to use a make-up removal oil + a micellar lotion (for sensitive skin or skin with imperfections), which all make-up artists are addicted to. We then finish with a rosewater floral lotion for sensitive, dry skin, or if you have acne-prone skin, a La Roche Posay-type thermal spring water enriched with Zinc.

Finally, wipe your face with a cotton towel to remove any excess product. If you don’t wear make-up, you can simply use the lotion + spa water or floral water. If you have acne-prone skin, avoid using cleansing oil every night. And last but not least, remove make-up from your brushes ….!

Dry, sensitive skin Blemished skin

For my part, I finish my routine with aloe vera gel all over my face, and then it’s off to bed!

7: I stop believing in miracles and mirage …
We stop experimenting with products due to the marketing effects of certain brands. Seek advice, first and foremost from a real dermatologist. You need to find the right cream ADAPTED to your skin, and that doesn’t mean they’ll cost you a fortune – on the contrary, I think you’ll even save money! A specialist will define your skin type: dehydrated, acne-prone, sensitive or dull, and establish the right formula for your needs.

8 : Tell me what you eat…
Some skin types are more sensitive than others and may react to certain foods, such as dairy products, gluten, fast sugars… The latter are rapidly digested, resulting in high insulin secretion and hyperproduction of sebum in the skin’s pores, making them susceptible to infection by acne-causing bacteria. The more you eat, the more insulin is secreted, indirectly increasing acne. So if you’ve tried EVERYTHING, perhaps diet is one last avenue to explore…as well as drinking water throughout the day to hydrate from the inside out and preferring fresh fruit to industrial juices…

9: Chemistry and bodies
In the list of drugs with side effects on our skin, the champions are antibiotics and hormonal contraception. These villains can leave indelible marks on our faces, such as brown spots. Don’t forget todiscuss this with your doctor, as some are photosensitive! If so, use SPF 50 sunscreen and avoid the sun as much as possible… As for hormonal contraception, it’s pretty depressing sometimes, because everyone reacts differently, and there are no rules. For my part, I’ve had a spectacular bout of acne with a copper IUD, even though every gynecologist says it’s impossible. Once removed, my pimples disappeared and never came back… The challenge: listen to your body, against all odds!

10: Breathe, move, life is beautiful.
The best way to activate our cells and oxygenate our skin is through sport, by getting physically active at least a little every day. Taking the stairs instead of the escalator can sometimes be enough. Breathing, de-stressing, easier said than done… but we can try… .

Tease“, ” Bump & Grind”, “Shimmy&Shake”, … These are short forms, often danced, in which women play with the codes of femininity and surprise the audience. They can dance, act or sing, but they all have one thing in common: they take off their clothes and wear nipple covers, some of which they’ll turn around. There’s sophisticated, glamorous “Classic Burlesque ” and funny, surprising, extravagant “New Burlesque “. All use personal ways of moving, expressing themselves and metamorphosing through a character, but there are movement codes specific to this discipline, such as the “Bump & Grind”, the Shimmy & Shake” and the use of props and lingerie.
Burlesque stripping classes:
All women can create a burlesque stripping act and showcase their femininity through their ideas, creativity and movements. The idea is to express one’s personality and reveal one’s power of seduction through “Tease”, for example. For this, it’s entirely possible to be self-taught or, if you wish, to take classes to learn the codes and movements specific to this dance and gain self-confidence.

What you’ll learn:

Improve posture, walk confidently in heels, learn techniques for playing with accessories like boas, gloves, garter belts and stockings. In a simple, fun way, you’ll learn very different choreographies, each with a different theme. No previous experience is required.

What it will do for you :

You’ll gain confidence and flexibility, learn choreography and techniques that you can then reproduce. You’ll develop a character that will allow you to dare! And maybe even the desire to go one step further and take the stage, or simply treat yourself and why not surprise your partner! You’ll discover the world of this discipline: make-up, hairstyling and costumes.

Here you’ll find all our formulas:
