OK ladies (and gents!!) what beauty rituals do you engage in, and how often?

I will start:

Manicures: once every week (I like my nails short)
Pedicures: once every two weeks
Highlights/trim: once every 6-8 weeks
Hair glaze: once every 6-8 weeks
Kerastase in-salon conditioning treatment: once every 6-8 weeks
Bikini wax: once every 6 weeks:sweatdrop: :crybaby:


I am also thinking of getting my eye lashes and brows dyed...My eye lashes are pretty light and my eye brows are BLONDE!! You can hardly see them unless I put my Smashbox Brow Tech on!!:Push:

Yikes, I am very low maintenance:

hair: I stopped relaxing (chemically straightening) my hair years ago and o've been braiding my own hair for the past two years. I braid every couple of months.

nails: ditto i stopped getting nail wrpans now, I file and polish when I feel the need to: no set routine

feet: I do self pedicures with my footspa electic mani-pedi tools

facial: Reimd me what that is, lol! I had a facial in New York back in 2005. Normally I just apply a face mask at home.

eyebrows: I've had them doen about three times in my life. I think it's the one thing I should make an effort to do more often

Low maintenance here also!:yes:

Nails: I have natural nails and like them short and neat. I file, buff, and shape every wk. (Sometimes more often) But leave them unpolished. Clip as needed.*

Feet: I do a pedicure myself every 2 wks. Use pumice stone to soften heels, etc. Then file, buff, shape nails, etc. Also unpolished. Clip as needed.*

*(Sometimes if I do wear polish I'll wear clear, or lightly tinted clear pink, or clear w/ glitter. This is on both nails, and toes).

Hair: I don't dye or tint my hair. No Highlights, frosting, etc. I'll probably tint my hair once I get "grey" hairs. LOL!! Until then...au natural.

My last haircut was this past Aug. I'm definitely due for one now. But I don't have a set schedule. When I see it's getting a bit long, then I go.;)

Bikini line...I take care of that myself.:shame:

As far as make up goes...concealer under my eyes, use a eyelash curler, mascara, blush, powder compact (to take off the shine), and that's it. Occasional clear lip gloss. I try/like my overall look to be as natural as possible. (Ex. Jennifer Garner look, Mandy Moore-ish).

:wlae:

I don't think I'm too high maintenance...

I get a haircut every 6-8 weeks w/ bang trims every 2-3 weeks. :yes:

Only get pedicures during summer when I wear sandals/open toe shoes (every 2-3 weeks). No manicures for me because I always chip my nails after the first day.

Get my eyebrows tweezed every 4 weeks, but now that I found a facialist I like, I just book a facial every 4 weeks and she does the eyebrow shaping as well (included in the facial).

Hair:
Extensions every six months mostly, But they are out this time for a good while.
Highlights & tint: every five to six at the most weeks.
Cut: Most times depends.
Nails.Acrylics most times , I do them myself because I'm a trained in acrylic nails & I'm also a Beautician.:yahoo: So I do mostly do all my own work, Which is well handy for me.:nuts: Along with my pedicure,eyebrows, waxing ouccchhhh!!..eyebrowsand tanning.

I am ridiculously low maintenance. I go makeup free for weeks, my nails are cut short, my hair is in a constant state of disarray. I do get pedicures regularly though. :biggrin:
 
#9
Low maintenance. My indulgence and necessity is a massage every 2-3 weeks. I have arthritis and fibro and it helps tremendously.

Pedicures before vacations, too.
 
#10

im more ridiculously low maintainance than sonya. LOL.

i get haircut every 6 months. i once had my hair grow about a year and a half, and it's all the way my tushie. :lol:

mani/pedi - i clean my own. i don't want anybody to take out my cuticle. coz i know if i start doing that, i need to do it regularly. so i paint my nails and toes (and clean too every 2-3 weeks).

Ridiculously low maintenance: I keep my nails natural. I just trim them when the get too long. I only cut my hair when I notice the ends splitting. I don't do anything special to my feet. I just keep my toe nails trimmed.

I do many of these things myself but I think I'm high maintenance.

Hair - color/trim 6 - 8 weeks

Nails - I usually do myself but will get them done professionally once in awhile or for an ocassion.

Pedicures - I get them every 2 weeks for about 6 months out of the year and then I take care of it the rest of the time. I live at the beach, so I keep them looking pretty good.

Eyebrows - I do myself because I had a brow waxing accident many years ago. Although, they're getting lighter and I have to wear my Brow Tech daily now.

Waxing - I don't do any of it. I used to but I didn't have the time or the money to shell out. I shave and I do it almost everyday. So, I don't get a lot of growth because I do it so often.

Of course, I'm always buying tons of hair products and make-up. Probably half of it doesn't do what it's supposed to but I buy it anyway. I buy anything that I think might help me at all. I know it's crazy but I'll be 50 in two years.
