Spring Fling Beautiful Skin


Not only is Spring officially here but the weather has been a bit summerish and that makes me soooo happy! That's why I wanted to share my two staples for plump hydrated skin. This is actually part of my daily routine all year long, but, it's especially effective during the more humid days of spring and summer.

I feel like I've said this a million times on this blog, but, I have extremely dry skin!! So over the years through much trial and error I discovered what works for my skin. Here's what I do.

*First I apply olive oil to my damp skin in the shower
*Second I apply vegetable glycerine to damp skin as well in the shower
*Next, I apply one of our Nidasii body butters to seal in the moisture...at the moment I'm using Mango-go.

Why it Works

I recieved two questions about yesterdays blog post "Nidasii Kinky Curly Hair tip #3". Although they read the post they did not leave the comment at the blog. Instead, they sent me a Direct Message on Twitter. They both asked the same question. They wanted to know "why/how" the glycerine & water mixture makes the hair soft.

So here it is. I explained how it works, now here's why it works. This tip works because glycerine is a humectant, that abords moisture from the air. When glycerine is mixed in a soloutioun of water and sprayed into the hair it's quickly absorbed into the hairs cuticle making it plump and juicy. When the cuticle is hydrated in its natural curly state defined curls are sure to follow.

Do you have any questions? Please keep sending your questions and comments wether it's here on the blog or on Twitter keep sending them!!

Nidasii Kinky Curly Hair Tip #3


Did you know water and vegetable glycerine can give you plump and defined curls? Here's how. After washing and conditioning hair wrap hair in towel for five minutes to absorb excess water. When done,mix three parts water to one part vegetable glycerine. Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and spritz the entire head. When done dour curls will be amazingly soft and plump.

This Kinky Curly tip works best during the humid days of summer. It can also be used as an activator to revive/reset dry curls. This tip can also be used during the winter months, however, for best results I would recommend doing this regimen in a steamy environment like a bathroom.

Care to give this regimen a try what are your thoughts?
