I know its best to take only one shower a day and wash your hair even less. My bad beauty habit is I LOVE showers, I really can’t get enough I usually take two or three  a day. In order to counteract the drying effect this can have on my skin I seek out highly moisturizing products and I just started using a new great body wash that I wanted to share with you all.

What is your bad beauty habit?

I love Mama Mio’s shower cream you just need a little to get squeaky clean and my skin feels so great right out of the shower. My skin now feels smooth and hydrated all day long, on top of how good my skin feels Mama Mio’s shower cream smells delicious!

Mama Mio Shower Cream

crème de la crème

super-moisturising and sulphate free

If you love a good body cleanser then you will love this. Sodium laureth sulphate free, it is oh-so-gentle and smells gorgeous. A fragrant halo of calm surrounds as you step out of the shower, and your skin somehow feels like you have had an hour-long soak in an oil-rich bath. In fact, you can use it in the bath for creamy bubbles if you fancy it.

From left to right:

• On a chilly, gray fall morning, you can slip into a hot summer day with Benefit Laugh With Me Lee Lee ($36; Sephora.com), a sunny, citrus-drenched scent of sugared lemonade and blackberry pie (there is the slightest hint of flaky crust).
• A Scent by Issey Miyake ($89; department stores) is like clean, clear air blown over fields of snow and ice, carrying the scent of frozen crystals and a fresh balsam tree.
• American Beauty Beloved Red Rose ($40; Kohls.com) invokes a breeze that has picked up the green notes of grassy meadows and passed through a hedge of young roses, just opening in May.
• Lola Marc Jacobs ($65; Bloomingdales.com) explodes with vivid fruit. Each one seems lit up. Wearing Lola is like walking through Times Square and smelling the thousands of purple, orange, and lemon gas-plasma lights.

INSPIRATION:
60’s Rock and Roll pompadour with a spiky ponytail.

HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
Adir first started out by applying the FEKKAI COIFF™ NONCHALANT PIECING & FORMING WAX to the palm his hands and then added the FEKKAI COIFF™ EXTRA CONTROL STYLING GEL for extra texture and shine. He applied this to her damp hair until it was full saturated.
To get the right texture with short layered haircut like Kristen’s, you must apply enough products until you get it to look right and feels right. It is important to fully saturate the hair with product.
Once the product was in the hair he took a blow-drier and hand dried into his desired style, directing all the hair with his fingers back to the nape of her neck.

To finish the look, he took the back of the hair and pulled it into a twisted ponytail letting the ends out and then spraying the front with the FEKKAI SHEER HOLD HAIRSPRAY. Make sure to leave random pieces out for a more chill vibe.
PRODUCTS ALL BY FEKKAI: COIFF™ NONCHALANT PIECING & FORMING WAX ($23) COIFF™ EXTRA CONTROL STYLING GEL ($23). SHEER HOLD HAIR SPRAY ($23) AVAILABLE AT SEPHORA, NORDSTROM, NEIMAN MARCUS, SAKS FIFTH AVENUE AND FEKKAI.COM.
