/hb/ - Health & Beauty

I tie a plastic ice pack around my face and commence with the morning’s stretching exercises.

Afterwards I stand in front of a chrome and acrylic Washmobile bathroom sink – with soap dish, cup holder, and railings that serve as towel bars, which I bought at Hastings Tile to use while the marble sinks I ordered from Finland are being sanded – and stare at my reflection with the ice pack still on.

I pour some Plax anti-plaque formula into a stainless-steel tumbler and swish it around my mouth for thirty seconds.

Then I squeeze Rembrandt onto a faux-tortoiseshell toothbrush and start brushing my teeth (too hung over to floss properly – but maybe I flossed before bed last night?) and rinse with Listerine.

Then I inspect my hands and use a nailbrush.

I take the ice-pack mask off and use a deep-pore cleanser lotion

Then an herb-mint facial masque which I leave on for ten minutes while I check my toenails.

Then I use the Probright tooth polisher and next the Interplak tooth polisher (this in addition to the toothbrush) which has a speed of 4200 rpm and reverses direction forty-six times per second; the larger tufts clean between teeth and massage the gums while the short ones scrub the tooth surfaces.

I rinse again, with Cepacol. I wash the facial massage off with a spearmint face scrub.

In the shower I use first a water-activated gel cleanser, then a honey-almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub.

Vidal Sassoon shampoo is especially good at getting rid of the coating of dried perspiration, salts, oils, airborne pollutants and dirt that can weigh down hair and flatten it to the scalp which can make you look older.The conditioner is also good – silicone technology permits conditioning benefits without weighing down the hair which can also make you look older.

On weekends or before a date I prefer to use the Greune Natural Revitalizing Shampoo, the conditioner and the Nutrient Complex. These are formulas that contain D-panthenol, a vitamin-B-complex factor; polysorbate 80, a cleansing agent for the scalp; and natural herbs.

Over the weekend I plan to go to Bloomingdale’s or Bergdorf’s and on Evelyn’s advice pick up a Foltene European Supplement and Shampoo for thinning hair which contains complex carbohydrates that penetrate the hair shafts for improved strength and shine. Also the Vivagen Hair Enrichment Treatment, a new Redken product that prevents mineral deposits and prolongs the life cycle of hair. Luis Carruthers recommended the Aramis Nutriplexx system, a nutrient complex that helps increase circulation.

Once out of the shower and toweled dry I put the Ralph Lauren boxers back on and before applying the Mousse A Raiser, a shaving cream by Pour Hommes, I press a hot towel against my face for two minutes to soften abrasive beard hair.

Then I always slather on a moisturizer (to my taste, Clinique) and let it soak in for a minute. You can rinse it off or keep it on and apply a shaving cream over it – preferably with a brush, which softens the beard as it lifts the whiskers – which I’ve found makes removing the hair easier. Leave the sideburns and chin for last, since these whiskers are tougher and need more time to soften. Rinse the razor and shake off any excess water before starting.

Afterwards splash cool water on the face to remove any trace of lather. You should use an aftershave lotion with little or no alcohol. Never use cologne on your face, since the high alcohol content dries your face out and makes you look older. One should use an alcohol-free antibacterial toner with a water-moistened cotton ball to normalize the skin.

Applying a moisturizer is the final step. Splash on water before applying an emollient lotion to soften the skin and seal in the moisture.

Next apply Gel Appaisant, also made by Pour Hommes, which is an excellent, soothing skin lotion. If the face seems dry and flaky – which makes it look dull and older – use a clarifying lotion that removes flakes and uncovers fine skin (it can also make your tan look darker).

Then apply an anti-aging eye balm (Baume Des Yeux) followed by a final moisturizing “protective” lotion.

A scalp-programming lotion is used after I towel my hair dry. I also lightly blow-dry the hair to give it body and control (but without stickiness) and then add more of the lotion, shaping it with a Kent natural-bristle brush, and finally slick it back with a wide-tooth comb.

Do you do your whole morning routine to music? How do you not run out of music, doing that every day?

>>14654
Yeah, I do. If I don't play music (I sing along to it) then I will inevitably start talking to myself and get distracted and interrupt my routine and be late. I maintain a playlist of songs that work for me. I don't run out because every two weeks or so I find new music online. Even still if I really like a song I will just put it on repeat for hours. Yes this is autistic I know

>>14657
Samefag but your routine is based as fuck btw

>>14654
you don’t do any of that you lying fuck. you might’ve done it ONCE, but I guarantee your room is a mess with tampons everywhere and you are likely in dire need of a douche.

>>14659
Why did her post make you angry?

>>14657
Don't take this the wrong way, but I find it kind of cute that you sing your way through the morning and practice facial expressions. I also do that sometimes so I can blend in with the other humans.
>>14661
I'm pretty sure 14659 is just my bpd sister posting here or a non female entity lmao
You're right, I don't do it every day, but I try to do it most days or I will barely get anything done.

>>14663
That's sweet of you anon, it's nice to know someone else does it.

forgot to say that I put deodorant on before I get dresse

All you lucky bastards pooping the first time you wake up. It takes me 1-2h to feel the urge to poop after waking up. So I make myself get up at 6-6:30am just so I can leave the house on time to get to work.

My routine:
>alarm rings
>immediately get up by turning lights on
>spring out of bed and go cook breakfast
>boil hot water for tea or coffee
>drink gallons of water to hopefully encourage body to shit
>eat breakfast
>still don’t feel like taking a shit, drink 3-4 cups of coffee/tea while browsing imageboards
>maybe post something (like I’m doing now)
>maybe read a book on some mornings while I wait to poop
>finally have to go
>still on phone on toilet
>take a shower
>brush teeth/floss/mouthwash. Brush hair. Wash face and put on skincare. Moisturize body. Deodorant etc.
>wear whatever is clean
>pack lunch
>head to work

I have a fear of pooping in public bathrooms so it’s important I go before going outside.

Try getting some movement in the morning like going for a walk or doing some squats.
