Makeup Remover – Guidelines

09/17/2025 autocreate740 Leave a comment

Wirecutter is one of my favorite places to get recommendations for various items. Their thorough reviews and user feedback help simplify the decision-making process, especially when it comes to products we use daily. In a recent article, they focused on the topic of Makeup Remover, which is something many of us consider essential for maintaining healthy skin. With the vast array of options available, choosing the right one can be quite overwhelming.

In the article, they shared their findings on several top-rated makeup removers, evaluating factors like effectiveness, skin compatibility, and price points. This kind of detailed analysis not only highlights the best products but also provides insight into what makes a makeup remover truly effective, such as its ability to break down stubborn makeup without harsh chemicals.

I couldn’t help but share the link with you because we are always looking for guidelines that are beneficial for our skin and pocketbook. Having reliable recommendations can lead to better skincare choices and ultimately save us from spending on products that do not meet our needs. I hope you find the article as informative and useful as I did!

Essential Oil Blog Post Sharing

08/22/2025 autocreate740 Leave a comment

As many of you know who follow HairBlues, I often share information about Essential Oils because I am a NAHA Certified Aromatherapist. Recent news about essential oils and the wellness and well-being benefits of using them (after checking with your doctor of course) 🙂 are one of the Wellness “Top Topics” nowadays.

I have shared the Essential 3 blog with you before, but this month, they have included a fascinating review that dives deep into the benefits of one essential oil in particular—Patchouli. Often recognized for its rich and earthy fragrance, Patchouli is not just a relic of “hippie news” from the past; it is an essential oil that truly deserves to be highlighted for its numerous benefits.

The benefits of Patchouli extend beyond just its aromatic qualities. Historically, it has been known to support emotional balance and contribute to a sense of grounding. When used in aromatherapy, Patchouli can help uplift mood and alleviate feelings of stress or anxiety. Moreover, it possesses antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties, making it valuable in skincare. It can assist in the healing of minor cuts, burns, and rashes, contributing to overall skin health and appearance.

If you’re curious about how to incorporate Patchouli into your wellness routine or simply want to learn more about its applications, I highly recommend checking out the Essential 3 newsletter this month. They provide thoughtful insights and practical ideas on how to utilize this remarkable oil effectively.

Here is the link for you to read at your convenience:

Embrace the wisdom of nature and explore how Patchouli can be a transformative addition to your essential oil collection. Happy reading!

I saw Dr. Youn on the Tamara Hall show, and found out that he is a believer in using “natural” methods for long term beauty regimens. He does sell beauty products, which I am happy to inform you he
reports to be “cruelty-free”.

I share his website with you because at HairBlues we try to help you find good beauty products.
