Self Care In Time of Pandemic: Scalp Lotion that Reduces Hair Loss

The pandemic has forced us to stay home and follow social distancing protocols. Work schedules are adjusted, some are even working at home. Surely, there are many disadvantages like less working hours which may also affect income stream. But I would like to stay optimistic, it will give us more time to take care of ourselves while attending to the needs of our family. Self-care in time of Covid-19 is very important. It's not only about washing your hands but taking care of ourselves holistically and boost immune system. How's your "me time" since the pandemic?

Loving My Curly Hair!

It's been a year now since I started the Curly Girl Method. Basically, it's a method that brings your natural curly or wavy hair beautiful and vibrant. The steps include washing your hair with a clarifying shampoo to remove hair product build-up. Ever since I started the Curly Girl Method, my hair became softer and manageable. There is also less hair fall and tangles.

Novuhair Scalp Lotion

To maintain the natural curly hair, it is recommended to use curly girl approved products. These are shampoo and hair conditioners with less of no harmful ingredients. I've tried a number of hair care products including the one that I will feature today - Novuhair.

Scalp Analysis

Before I used Novuhair, I was invited to do a Scalp Analysis at Fanny Serrano Salon. The result revealed a large amount of oil sticking on my scalp and hair follicle preventing new hair growth. My first bottle of Novuhair was given to me by my husband who believes in the product. He's been using it, I think for almost two years now - religiously applying to his scalp especially at night.

Novuhair treats hair loss

Novuhair is Food and Drug Administration (FDA) registered, certified Halal by the Islamic Da’wah Council of the Philippines, Inc. (IDCP) and 100% compliant to the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD).

Preventing Hair Loss

Novuhair is best for treatment of hair loss. It can be used by men and women, age 12 years old and above who experiences thinning hair. It is also recommended to people like me who experiences itchiness and dryness of the scalp as it provides proper nourishment to scalp and hair.

Novuhair Ingredients

Novuhair topical scalp lotion has a strong scent but it fades away after an hour or two. On the other hand, the shampoo and conditioner has a very nice scent, I think it's because of lemongrass.

How to Apply Novuhair Topical Scalp Solution

Apply Novuhair Topical Solution on the scalp after taking a bath, focusing on areas with hair loss. Gently massage the solution for fast absorption. Novuhair can be applied twice a day, in the morning and before bedtime. Use Novuhair herbal shampoo and conditioner just like the regular shampoo/conditioner.

Beauty Tweaks For Women Working at Home

As part of the new normal, many people are now working from home, sitting in front of computers for most of the day. However, there are some who need to be in online meetings - client calls, pitch presentations, team conference updates, and virtual catch-ups with colleagues - as part of their work. So, what’s a girl got to do? Amp up her looks a little and be her most confident self, even on video calls.

Skin Care Regimen

One way to achieve this is to apply just the right amount of makeup. Here are a few tricks to tune up one’s looks for a work meeting (or even online after-work get-together with friends). Start your day with a morning skincare routine A simple key to staying motivated all day is to feel good, especially during the morning. After washing your face, apply moisturizer and sunscreen (yes, even computer and phone screens emit UV rays!), and give your skin the extra care it needs. 

Apply concealer

Cover your dark spots and brighten up under eyes with a concealer for a natural-looking finish. The Bobbie Cosmetics POOF! Concealer (P115) blends easily onto skin and balances out

any discoloration. Even if you get occasional zits or dark circles, all is well with a little help from this blurring formula.

Sculpt your face with contour and highlight

Webcams usually give the face a monotonous appearance, leaving it a bit pale and flat. Use Bobbie Cosmetics Gleam Squad Contour & Strobe (P399) to instantly define features and add some depth to your look. Apply contour on your forehead near the hairline, hollows of your cheeks—sides of the forehead, cheekbones, nose line, and jaw line - and get a flattering bone structure in a flash.
