2024 Self-Care Check-In Challenge: Week 8 - Share your body care routine!

[TeamBIC]

Happy New Year, BIC! We’re kicking off 2024 with an important reminder: we all need to take good care of ourselves – this year and beyond. 😊 Some of us may make resolutions, and others may already have their regular routines down to a tee; regardless of where you are in your self-care journey, we could all use a few extra reminders and a bit of motivation to spend a little extra T.L.C. on ourselves!

Like similar posts from previous years, we’ve come up with a list of weekly prompts to challenge you to exercise your self-care skills in different ways. 🧡 We encourage you to participate and respond to the prompts that speak to you – and don’t be afraid to share any other self-care tips and tricks along the way!

• Week 1 (1/10 – 1/16): Creating the perfect morning routine to start your day off right 🌞
• Week 2 (1/17 – 1/23): Surrounding yourself with soothing scents ✨
• Week 3 (1/24 – 1/30): Testing out products to promote wellness (supplements, intimate care, rollers…) 🌿
• Week 4 (1/31 – 2/6): Indulging in your favorite face mask(s) 👩
• Week 5 (2/7 – 2/13): Spending extra time on your hair (and scalp!) care 🧼
• Week 6 (2/14 – 2/20): Cleaning up your beauty collection 🧹
• Week 7 (2/21 – 2/27): Improving your quality of sleep 💤
• Week 8 (2/28 – 3/5): Focusing on body care (lotions, dry brushing, serums…) 🛁

I like to treat myself to a scalp treatment weekly. This involves a scalp oil. There are many that I have tried and liked. The one I am currently using is Fable & Mane HoliRoots™ Pre-Wash Treatment Oil for Thinning Hair   . I use an older version of the SEPHORA COLLECTION Silicone Scalp Massager to massage it into my scalp. I usually do this on a Sunday when I have some extra time to let it sit. I like to use a detox shampoo after the treatment to help get rid of the build up on my scalp plus the oil. Right now I am using OUAI Detox Shampoo. I also like the K18 Biomimetic Hairscience PEPTIDE PREP™ Clarifying Detox Shampoo 8.5 oz / 250 mL . I try to use less heat in my hair now a days. But when I do I use a heat protector. I am loving the Bumble and bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat Protectant Leave In Conditioner Primer 8.5 oz/ 250 mL # In the summers I tend to avoid any heat in my hair because it gets humid where I live. When I let it air dry curly, I useOlaplex No. 6 Bond Smoother Frizz Control Styling Hair Cream 3.3 oz/ 100 mL . For brushing my , I try to brush gently in small sections so that I minimize breakage of the hair. I also sleep with a satin pillow. One day I will splurge on a silk one.

@Mellmars1185  Wow! Great tips!!! My hair misses the humidity! When I go home and visit I find my hair is much happier!! It’s so dry here it’s so static!

@Mellmars1185 

reading this and seeing the products and how your described your routine felt like going to a spa, your hair care routine is top notch I absolutely love the thought put into it and effort love this! ✨💕

[Mellmars1185]

@peculiarzmakeup Thank you so much. Self care and hair care are really important to me. I have also learned a lot from this community!

[peculiarzmakeup]

@Mellmars1185 

that’s amazing to hear, I feel the same way! I’m learning so much I love your routine! 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that's a beautiful hair and scalp routine @Mellmars1185, 😍 Peptide prep is my favorite detox shampoo atm, it's gentle but very effective.👌

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Thanks! Do you like to use a shampoo and conditioner until it is finished? Or do you switch back and forth?

[CynthieLu]

Switch, It really depends on what I think I need at that time. @Mellmars1185 product build up, washing out a hair oil etc.. is a stronger shampoo, than something I might use for a quick clean. 🫧 It just depends... But having 3 shampoos open lol is it too much? 😉 I don't think so. 

[Mellmars1185]

@CynthieLu Yes do what works! Right now I am going between my current detox and sample packs. 

[CynthieLu]

Exactly 💯 what ever works, and what ever my hair says it needs at that time .👌 @Mellmars1185
