Self Care Maintenance AT HOME | DIY Sugar Wax, Pedicure & Exfoliation

[@anettelanette]

as I’ve gotten older I started to realize the importance of maintaining healthy skin and hygiene on hands and feet at home. instead of spending so much on regular mani pedis, I can do this lovely routine at home and feel like a million bucks

[@reginagordon4246]

[@fairr_user]

Finally Something realistic! Natural! And relatable! No editing or smoothing filters! I'm so living for it❤️❤️❤️

[@PoetriiseStanzafyah]

Honestly it's giving so much fresh air I'm still inhaling 😍

[@KawaiiKitsuify]

As someone who has kinda put herself on the backburner because of prioritizing kids and tbh a little depression, I love this video. It is giving me some inspiration to take some care in myself. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@abetweene]

its so easy to get out of balance but the good thing is u can always get back on track or start again. treat yourself mommas! 💕

[@brianalynn6731]

Love this for you

[@mrsrockbison]

This is so satisfying. I started to do pedicures and manicures days because of your videos. Following most of the steps, bought some tools for the first time, ( I’m in my late 30’s) even add it on my calendar so I don’t forget. 😅 and treat it as a treat and self care day. thank you for the motivation. It’s been months since I started this routine and I can feel already the difference of how I feel about my body. Yes, please more videos on DIY beauty maintenance since I rarely go to the beauty salon

[@abetweene]

love that youre treating yourself ♥️

[@OohpreddynailsAngie]

I'm a nail polish addict from back in the day. That's how long I've been a subscriber. Needless to say, OF COURSE I WANNA SEE YOUR HAND CARE TUTORIAL. Sorry for yelling 😅❤

Oh u a real OG! thank u for sticking with me this long 💕 for that, ill excuse the yelling lol 😏

[@domdaoust]

Loveeee this. So realistic and the quality is amazing. You literally show what most won’t and that is so comforting to know that we ARE human and we all have body hair and dry skin wtv it is, this video makes us women feel much better honestly. And, the results are great! 👍 thank you for sharing and we want more of course ❤

[@abetweene]

tysm! definitely more to come

[@theresag.4188]

Its nice to see the realness!!!! And its so satisfying seeing the end results! Ive been dealing with dizziness due to my anxiety and i havent been able to care for myself like I normally would. I do my own manicures because I can sit and do them but getting to my feet is hard. And I shave my legs in my room because its too hard in the shower.

[@abetweene]

aww im sorry to hear that. its crazy the array of symptoms that can manifest from our emotional state. i hope you get some relief soon and are able to care for yourself to the extent you desire

Wow 🤩 i started taking care of myself because of your videos. Right from exfoliating regularly, sugaring , manicure etc.. ✨ If possible Can you please do a video on using a cuticle fork? I end up cutting my actual skin along with dead skin, around the nail

[@abetweene]

i first learned on a cuticle fork but find them too unsteady, so its not u its the tool itself. its just not designed for precision. and since people’s anatomy can differ slightly, the results do too.

[@nissiyah23]

@@abetweene may be i should switch to the clipping tool ..

@@abetweene honestly!! also, do you have any recommendations for vanilla-scented body moisturizers (oil, cream, butter, whatever) ? I've tried so many and they all end up being too heavy or just don't smell nice

[@abetweene]

well since i love a body oil, especially for a long lasting scent i feel like u cant go wrong with monoi oil and it has actual vanilla bean inside. amzn.to/3NtiMhk for lotion, Lush! i used to be obsessed with sympathy for the skin, just wish they had a self preserving option like some of their other products, but the scent is delicious. Its very ‘custardy’ also love their vanillary fragrance. In addition to vanilla it has notes of tonka bean and it elevates it into a less sweet more complex scent.

[@SolsGarage]

@@abetweene thank you so much for the recs!!! I'll definitely check all of these out haha

[@purpleplumtrinkets]

Yes to more of this! But did we stop eating? Cause...😅😂 But on a serious note, how can you get rid of the collection of skin under nails. Like the skin that like something is gonna grow from it , but it dries some and it's alive . But you can't cut it all ?

[@abetweene]

well the way these grocery prices is set up rn i am in fact not eating, lol!! but seriously, i do sometimes burn out and eat the bare minimum so i have been sticking to low effort meals. if the inspo hits me ill film more what i eat in a weeks. perhaps its the hyponychium? i dont trim anything under the free edge, but i have exfoliated that area with an e-file before and on a regular basis i just use a brush to scrub under the nails.

Is sugaring better than using hard wax? Is it safe to wax/sugar the neck and chin area?

[@abetweene]

i dont think either is superior to the other, just boils down to preference. a few reasons i personally like it is because its very affordable, compostable, fewer ingrowns, and no tools required. yes, u can use it everywhere except in the nostrils and ear canals. i actually have a video using it on the neck and chin here kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKGrY4anmN1ll7csi=lJZHNAi3mcCJ4s35

[@ubiquitousinfluence]

doesn't sugaring loosen your skin and give you wrinkles faster? the same way waxing does, since both techniques pull on the skin

[@abetweene]

no, the skin is held taut when sugaring so youre only pulling on the hair. even if you were to pull on the skin, its more probable that in any loss in elasticity could be attributed to normal aging.

Every time when u i use waxing or sugaring i get so many ingrown hair even tho i exfoliate before it and after i moisturize so well so what's wrong?????

[@abetweene]

are u just using a scrub or utilizing a chemical exfoliator as well? is you rhair coarse or curly? sometimes despite our best efforts, we can get ingrowns anyway because of the texture of the hair or other factors.

[@حياة]

If you wax or sugar your feet, exfoliate first. If you wax in the direction of the hair, do so because it causes goose bumps. Do not wash it with a scented lotion. Just wash it with lukewarm water and moisturize with a medical moisturizer, not a scented one.

[@minimum_mood]

Hey just wanted to ask can I sugar wax my entire body?

[@abetweene]

pretty much. just not the nostrils or ear canal.

[@minimum_mood]

@@abetweene thanks . i was asking about the areas around my chin and my temple. there are many small and soft baby hair.

[@abetweene]

yes, definitely. for vellus/fine hair, id recommend soft sugar (instead of firm or hard)

[@minimum_mood]

@@abetweene hi. i used the sugar wax and it did remove so many hair , the area looks so much clear now . but i think it did a little damage because of pulling off the wax. can you suggest something to sooth the area? preferably natural.

witch hazel, aloe, chamomile hydrosal, rose water… any product that has calming ingredients.

[@tatertots9794]

ive tried making my own sugar wax and it just didn't work. i used it on clean skin, used baby powder, heated the wax until it was thick, everything. It just sticks like honey right after being applied. i don't know what I'm doing wrongggggg 😭

Another well shot and edited video with the elegant style that distinguishes your self / foot care videos, making them among the very best on youtube... but surely it's your gorgeous feet, seductively expressive (just like your eyes and mouth, every part of your body) that make them special! Your soIes are just perfect both embroidered with gold lace of dry skin and silky smooth after the pedicure. The exfoliation / dead skin removal from the soIes is definitely the most mesmerizing part of the whole process / ritual.

I usually don't comment on videos but just wanna share a hyperpigmentation experience; I have used lots of epilation technics and had hyperpigmentation under my armpits in the past.Later on i realized that it was because of the damage the epilations were causing ...after i switched to a razor and a moisturizer ,i had no hyperpigmentation left and probably the hyperpigmentation you're experiencing with the sides of your face is maybe because waxing is too strong for such a sensitive area.

[@abetweene]

my pigmentation pre-dated epilation, so it isnt the cause but thank you for sharing your experience. im glad you found a solution that works for you
