The Basic Routine

- Toner: Balance your skin's pH and prep for products

Haircare Foundations
Healthy hair starts with understanding your hair type and giving it what it needs.
Know Your Hair Type
- Fine hair: Lightweight products, volumizing formulas
- Thick hair: Rich, hydrating products, anti-frizz serums
- Curly hair: Moisture-rich, defining products, minimal heat
- Color-treated: Color-safe, bond-building treatments
Healthy Hair Habits
- Don't wash every day - 2-3 times a week is often enough
- Always use heat protectant before styling
- Regular trims prevent split ends from traveling
- Sleep on silk pillowcases to reduce breakage

Body Care & Fragrance
Complete your beauty routine with body care and find your signature scent.
Body Care Basics
- Exfoliate 1-2 times per week for smooth skin
- Moisturize on damp skin for better absorption
- Don't forget SPF on exposed body areas
- Layer body oil under lotion for extra hydration
Fragrance Tips
- Apply to pulse points: wrists, neck, behind ears
- Don't rub wrists together - it breaks down the scent
- Layer with matching body products for longevity
- Store fragrances away from heat and light
