Drum roll, please! Bliss has just come out with a new fantastic moisturizer, Best of Skintentions. This new product is an all-day moisturizer with SPF 15 for sun protection and keeps your skin looking pretty without costing you the big bucks! The moisturizer is lightweight with multi-vitamins, minerals, omegas, and sun-shielding nourishing properties to promote healthy, beautiful skin. Bliss’ new moisturizer will help you ’save face’ while not taking a huge chunk out of your wallet. The product costs $35 which is a steal compared to most other moisturizers of this caliber. I’ve been using Bliss’ new cream on my hands everyday and they feel softer and the moisturizer has a fresh, clean scent that feels amazing. Best of Skintentions will not be out until March so start counting your pennies (but not too many), ladies, because this new moisturizer is a must and will be great for spring.

I recently got a great tip from Antonio Prieto (who owns a very chic and cozy salon in NYC). Here, his take on how to figure out your hair type:

“From dry to oily, thick to fine.. Being able to determine your hair type (dry, normal, or oily) and density (how much hair covers the head) can be a little complicated. With an easy ‘ponytail test’, you can find out density with just one easy twist of the hair! With an average hair elastic, put your hair in a ponytail and count how many times it wraps around your hair:
 
1 time is thick
2-3 times is medium
3 or more times is fine

After determining your hair type, it’s time to take care of it! A dirty scalp and hair shaft is not conducive to supporting hair health, therefore shampooing is important. However, it’s equally important not to overuse shampoo due to the ingredient Sodium Lauryl Sulfate; it tends to be strong, causing the hair to be stripped, dried out, and damaged. If your hair is:
 
*Dry: Dry hair should be shampooed every other day. Using a lighter conditioner will allow you to keep your hair from getting oily, letting that shampoo bottle take a bit of a rest. This goes for chemically altered or color treated hair as well.
 
*Normal: Normal hair can be shampooed every day, or every two days depending on the circumstances surrounding the hair.

*Oily: Oily hair should be shampooed according to how oily the hair is, however every day is usually necessary. If you notice your hair is oily even when it is washed every day, it might be necessary to contact a dermatologist since oily hair comes from a scalp function.”

Would you talk to a cute stranger? Would you speak your mind even if everyone else disagreed? Take this quiz because it’s time to see just how confident you really are.
