How High Investment Treatments Make Life Low-Maintenance
Some beauty routines feel less like self-care and more like unpaid overtime. And sure, to a degree, it’s fun watching content creators on TikTok show off their 17-step Korean skincare routine while preparing for colder weather, like, there’s no doubt about that. But when it comes to you doing your lengthy routine, well, it gets a bit tiring fast, right? Like, there’s the plucking, shaving, waxing, repainting, and the list goes on and on, And it’s like you need a calendar just to keep track of all the “maintenance.”
Cute? No, maybe when watching it on TikTok, sure. But necessary? Well, not really, if you start thinking long-term instead of a quick fix. So, the trick is to stop throwing money at short-lived hacks and put it into the treatments that actually buy you back time, energy, and sanity.
Just Start with Your Brows
Needless to say, brows are bossy. Like, super bossy, and they control your whole face, yet getting them even with a pencil is basically a whole stressful occurrence. Even though they’re “sisters, not twins”, you just can’t help but want to get them perfect, right? Sure, thankfully, 2016 brows are a thing of the past, but brows nowadays still need some work.
But semi-permanent brows like microblading can actually be a smart choice since it’s one of those beauty investments where you just flat out don’t have to worry about your brows for a while. And it helps not to have to squint in the mirror daily, too.
Smooth Skin and No Hassle
If shaving feels like Groundhog Day, that’s because it is. There’s some ladies who are lucky, where they shave once, and their hair slowly grows back, while others shave, and two days later it’s back where it started. Oh, and it’s razors, wax, ingrowns, repeat. Who signed us up for this? Seriously, no one asked for this!
But if you can, it might actually be a pretty good idea to just go ahead and look into laser hair removal while – sure, the idea of it sounds expensive, but there are super affordable packages where you can get it unlimited. But just think about it; no more wasting time each week trying to get smooth skin, no more ingrown hairs! Sounds blissful, right?
Get Some Nails that Actually Last
Sure, there’s something sweet and nostalgic about old-fashioned fingernail polish, right? As a girl, it was like a little window into womanhood. While the concept alone of regular polish is still pretty cute, the idea of it all isn’t exactly cute, knowing that within three days, your polish will start chipping. But nail gels and even strengthening treatments do stick around, and your nails are going to look gorgeous, and it’s not even an expensive upgrade, either.
Don’t Forget Your Hair
Seriously, hair drama is the worst kind of drama. It’s like the older you get, the harder it is to maintain. You have to deal with root regrowth, frizz, and constant appointments that eat up your weekends (they can last hours upon hours depending on the length of your hair).
But depending on your issue, you could look into a balayage, since these don’t scream “time for a touch-up” (especially if your hair grows fast), but even a keratin treatment is great if you feel like your frizz is just getting worse. Seriosuly, just imagine walking out the door without doing the arm workout that is a blow-dry. Well, that’s the dream, right?
