The current outbreak of COVID-19 lockdown has left its effect on the entire world. Economies have slumped, international travels are banned and social distancing is the new norm. While the world grapples with these life-changing decisions, there is a little something that is bothering women across the world! We are sure, the top Google search keyword in recent times is- how to remove facial hair, how to make homemade face masks, makeup hacks and easy beauty tips for face.
Well if you are still scratching your head, then let me help you here. Just like anything else, beauty parlors and salons have also shut during this quarantine period. This means as many as 90 percent of women are dealing with zero to almost nil skincare. Who had thought that self-care during quarantine would become the ‘IT THING’ in the entire world one day!
Perfect blow-dried hair, fresh manicure nails, and that wonderful glow facial suddenly look like a distant dream for now. Beauty tips for face are something that women across all age groups search for. This could be during quarantine or on other days when there is actually no time to head out. On a light note, most facebook women communities are bombarded with only one question these days- what are the most sought after beauty tips for face?
Most of us are at our homes owing to the lockdown which is imposed currently.
1. Beat those hairy face blues – Best beauty tip for face
Facial hair is by far the least pleasing thing and removing it is no easy feat- most women would agree to this statement. Thus it comes as no surprise that removal of facial hair tops on the list of beauty tips for face. Almost as many as 9 out of 10 women have facial hair. But since the hair on your face has a slightly different structure and texture than the rest of your body, one needs a little extra care here. Presenting some tips which will help you in getting rid of facial hair:
(i) That sewing thread will sort out all your upper lip hair woes
If you thought that threading can only be done at your nearby parlor, well then read again. To do threading at home, all you need are some basic threading supplies. Most of these are easily available at home.
Sanjivani, mommy to three-year-old Viraaj aka Noddy (as she calls him fondly) and who happens to be a dentist by profession swears by this technique. She highlights how to do it in the video given below. One more thing- she makes it look like a breeze!
(ii) Tweeze them away
We bet tweezers have been your best friend since college. As a result they have now found a place of permanence in every woman’s grooming/vanity kit. Personally for me tweezers come handy, when I am too lazy to step out of home.
(iii) Katori wax
Katori wax is nothing but cold wax, in a small container, which can be heated directly .It is completely fuss-free and since it comes in small package viz quantity, it can be used easily at home.
(iv) Face razors
Not long ago, people would have not recommended razors for women and that too, especially for the face. In fact, folks would have definitely made fun of the whole fact -‘Women using razors’. But to 2020, it can very well be regarded as one of the topmost rated beauty tips for the face. This will not only remove the hair but leave it smooth and exfoliated.
Anushka Uniyal Saxena, who is a beauty blogger and a makeup artist currently based in Toronto, shares the ‘if’s and how’s’ of using a razor. She tells us that facial razor is the perfect and easiest tool for doing eyebrows and upper lips.
