So many of us struggle with growing out our brows. After years of plucking and waxing, we find ourselves looking at gaps within our brows and thinning hair. The in vogue brow look is a full and bushy brow. We see it all over magazines and runways. However, how do we get this full look after years and years of over plucking? Growing out your brows is not as difficult as it may seem. Yes, it does take patience and follow through, but it can be achieved quite easily and at very little cost. Your first step towards achieving thicker brows is to start taking your supplements. Supplements such as biotin not only help to strengthen the hair on your head, skin and nails, it also help to strengthen your brows and eyelashes. Using essential oils such as vitamin E and castor oils is also very helpful. We suggest you apply castor oil to a mascara wand at night and apply to brows before going to be bed. This will promote healthy hair growth and thicker, fuller brows. There is truly no reason to spend excess money of growth serums. these serums are usually a mix of vitamin E and castor oil already mixed together. Something you can concoct in your own home for very little money. Simply add one part organic cold pressed castor oil and one part vitamin E oil. Mix together and you have your very own brow serum. Next step is to stop over waxing! try plucking your brows while you are growing them out. Plucking will assure that you do not take excess hair out. It will also afford you the luxury of removing just the hair outside of your perfect brow line. We love to use the Anastasia brow guides to create the perfect brow. These truly help yu envision the shape you are looking for. use these guides to help fill in your perfect brow, then pluck around the shape. Avoid any hairs within the guide as that is where you want to encourage growth and thickness. keep brows trimmed at all times. Sometimes a trim alone can help make them look renewed. We always suggest going t a professional for this step as you could possibly trim too much! Trimming your brows also assures that your brow line is more defined and easier to fill in with a pencil or gel. Lastly, avoid applying skincare creams and serums to your brows. These creams and serums can actually clog your pores causing less growth. Apply your skincare around the brows, not directly onto the brows. the only thing you should be applying directly onto your brows is either your growth serum or your brow makeup. Following these easy steps will assure that your brows start to look fuller and more fab than ever and that your brow game remains strong!

Always on the lookout for a great at home peel, I decided to try one of the more affordable skincare brands on the market. For those who do not know The Ordinary Skincare yet, you will definitely start to pay attention. This skincare brand offers really great products for super affordable prices. One of their top selling items is their peeling solution. Created with 30% AHA and 2 % BHA this is a great anti aging at home treatment.

Let's face it, we do not all have the time or the money to go to the spa and get a peel. I personally do not have the time. Therefore, when I find a great at home solution I am ecstatic! This week I went out and purchased a couple of the products that I have been wanting to try for the past few months. Among them was The Ordinary 30% AHA 2 % BHA Peeling Solution. This little bottle retails for $7.20. Lets be real girls and boys, you cannot beat that price! I mean even if you do not like it, it's not like you broke the bank. It costs less than a Starbucks coffee.

The Ordinary 30% AHA 2 % BHA Peeling Solution promises brighter and more even toned skin. This is a quick ten minute exfoliating peel that helps to eliminate pore congestion and diminish the appearance of blemishes. The directions say to apply onto dry skin after cleansing. So wash your face. then allow your skin to dry and apply the peel with your finger tips. Avoid your eyes! leave on for 10 minutes and wash with lukewarm water. Follow up with your moisturizer or moisturizing face oil. It is suggested to be used at night. No more than twice a week.

Apply peeling solution onto dry. clean skin. leave on for no more than 10 minutes.

I used the peeling solution for the first time today. The solution itself is red. The texture is almost gel like. Goes on smoothly and immediately begins to tingle. I did feel a little bit of burning but nothing alarming. After about 5 minutes the brining did stop. After 10 minutes it felt a lot more comfortable. Once washed off my skin did look brighter.

After 10 minutes wash off with lukewarm water.

Would I recommend this peel? Yes! Absolutely. For the cost it is definitely worth it. I do however suggest that if you have sensitive or slightly sensitive skin that you spot treat first to make sure it is not too strong.

It is always great to find affordable products! This is a must for those searching for a brightening peel. Happy skin, happy life!
