Article: If you have particularly dry hair, you may need daily oiling. For example, many African Americans with natural hair find daily oiling beneficial. It increases the hair's moisture and shine. Don't apply oil to the scalp every day. The scalp produces its own oils, so the hair closest to it is usually fairly healthy. Applying extra oil on a daily basis might hurt more than it helps by causing oily hair at the roots. Apply a thin layer of oil to the shafts of your hair, focusing on the tips. The oil from your scalp works its way from the root down to the tip of your hair. It's a longer trip for people with long hair, though, so the ends are often dry and brittle. Curly hair also tends to dry out at the bottom because the curls and kinks stop oil from working down the strands. Don't over-oil your hair if you're applying it on a daily basis. You hair should not be completely saturated. You don't want to walk around with flat, greasy hair all the time! Once a week or once every two weeks, you should do a deep-conditioning mask treatment with your oil. Saturate your hair with the oil. For daily oiling, you might just use a light coating of oil, but for a leave-in treatment, you want your hair thick with it. Tie your hair up into a bun. This will protect the shoulders and back of your clothing from the oil. Cover your hair with a shower cap if you'd like. This is especially useful if you don't have a plastic cover for your pillowcase. If you don't use a shower cap, cover your pillow with either a vinyl case or with two layers of old towels to protect it from oil stains. Leave the oil in for at least eight hours, or until you take a shower the next day. Many find that dry, brittle hair benefits most from oiling when the oil is applied to damp hair. Apply a base oil in place of your normal conditioner twice a week, immediately after you've rinsed the shampoo from your hair. Shampoo strips the hair of its natural oils, leaving it dry. This is a good time for a moisture boost. Shampoo and apply the oil as soon as you begin your shower. Let the oil soak into your hair for the rest of your shower, as you go on with the rest of your shower routine. Try to leave the oil in from 5-10 minutes. Placing a shower cap over your hair to protect it from the water will help prevent washing it out before you're ready. Be careful applying oil in the shower. When you rinse it out of your hair, the tub can get very slippery.

Sensitive skin may burn or itch when you apply certain products. Combination skin is dry in some areas and oily in others. Rise your face with the cleanser, but don't scrub. Rinse with warm water and pat dry. If you find a particular cleanser dries out your face, experiment with different brands until you find one that works. A cleanser without alcohol or fragrance will work best with dry skin. If you have oily skin, use an oil-free, non-comedogenic foaming cleanser. For sensitive skin, choose a hypoallergenic cleanser that doesn't contain unnecessary additives. Don't over wash your skin. Over washing dries out your skin. Unless you are exercising, you shouldn't need to wash your face more than once a day. In the morning, wash your face with lukewarm water. At night, apply your gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Remove your makeup at night. Makeup clogs your pores and can lead to acne. Remove it each night before bed using a gentle cleanser. Skin toners help soak up oil and remove dirt. They should be applied before moisturizers. Begin by applying a gentle toner in after washing your face in the morning and the evening. Apply the toner to a cotton ball and gently rub the toner onto your face in small circles. Repeat the process with new cotton balls until you no longer see dirt on the cotton ball after you apply it to your face. Exfoliators remove dead skin cells. They should only be used two-to-four times a week since your skin needs time to regenerate. Mechanical exfoliators use small, rough particles to sand away the outer layer of your skin. They are best for oily skin. Chemical exfoliators increase your cellular turnover rate to slough off the dead skin.

If you have sensitive skin, choose a moisturizing that contains green tea, rose, or chamomile. Apply moisturizing twice a day: when you wake up and before you go to sleep. Apply the moisturizer while your skin is still damp. Apply moisturizing every day for the best results.
