Self-Care Secrets: 5 High-Maintenance Beauty Practices That Helps You Stay Low Maintenance

If you are on social media you have probably seen at least one video mentioning the 'high-maintenance procedures for low-maintenance' trend, which originated from TikTok. The trend has encouraged people to share all the high-maintenance beauty practices they swear by in order to make their day-to-day routine easier. Here's a list of 5 such procedures that can help you shave off valuable minutes on the daily.

1. Laser Hair Removal

More and more people are nowadays foregoing traditional hair removal methods like waxing or shaving which are painful and may be less time-consuming at the moment, but have to be done frequently and opting for laser hair removal. In this process a concentrated beam of light is used to remove unwanted hair. Once a person completes the recommended number of sessions, hair growth will gradually be reduced, if not permanently lost, in the treated area.

2. Gel Manicures

A gel manicure mostly follows the same steps as a regular one barring one small addition. Your nails are cut, filed, and shaped, and nail polish is painted which is then cured with a UV or LED light to help lock it in place for long-lasting wear. A gel manicure has a chip-resistant finish which if cared for properly can last up to anywhere from 10 days to three weeks.

3. Regular Facials

Skin is the biggest organ of your body and maintaining its health as well as its appearance is an integral part of your routine. A facial is nothing but a combination of cleansing, exfoliating and nourishing treatments that promote overall skin health while addressing one's particular skin concerns. Whether you want a youthful appearance or just want to relieve your stressed-out skin, adding regular customised facials as recommended by your aesthetician to your healthcare routine will not only make you feel good but also delay the appearance of signs of aging.

4. Weekly Hair Masks

Wasting time by spending hours in the salon chair every couple of months to repair our damaged hair can easily be avoided if you simply take care of your hair on a weekly basis. A deep-conditioning treatment and some TLC is all your hair require to retain its natural shine and remain lustrous. To improve the overall health and appearance of your hair use a weekly hair mask depending upon your hair and scalp type to repair the damage caused by heat styling as well as environmental factors such as daily wear and tear.

5. Professional Teeth Whitening

It is wisely said that 'Nothing you wear is more important than your smile' and teeth play a very important role in the appearance of said smile. Everyone wants brighter, whiter teeth but maintaining them when you regularly smoke or drink wine, coffee or tea requires more than just brushing and flossing. That is where, to fill the gap, professional teeth whitening comes, through which anyone can achieve a smile that melts hearts.
