So, what "grooming" do you do?

Just out of interest ...

Generally, every week or every couple of weeks (depending on level of arsed-ness) I give myself a manicure (cut nails, massage cuticles, clear polish) and every two/three weeks do a pedicure. I have a bikini wax every six weeks to two months (I'm only letting an expert near there) and then for legs, I epilate, generally when I start to look like a gorilla (in winter) more frequently in summer.

Daily - teeth witening, clense skin, eye cream, face cream, hand cream, eyebrow pluck as needed,

twice weekly / weekly - exfoliate whole face and body and then moisturise, legs / armpits shave as needed, trim nails (needed for sport), paint nails

Monthly / 6-8 weekly - hair cut and colour, eyebrow wax and tint, fake tanning as neccessary for events, maintain bikini area

cut and Colour every 6 weeks

bikini and leg wax every 6 weeks

microdermabrasion facial every 4 weeks

IPL Skin rejuvenation every 6 months (gets ride of sun damage/ pigmentation/ acne scars)

Do my own mani/pedi every 10 days or so - sometimes I just reapply varnish.

In the summer I apply Johnson's moisturiser with added fake tan to my legs - very natural and no streaking.

I have a bath most evenings (no time for shower in the morning).

Wash hair 3 times per week

Deep condition hair or VO5 hot oil once a week

less now than i'd like to do.
daily wash face and moisturise morning and night, floss
weekly, shave legs and underarms
6 week ish dye hair, eyebrows threaded and any stray facial hairs threaded

Shower and wash hair, tone and moisturise face every morning, shave legs if feeling lucky or wearing a skirt.

Pluck eyebrows regularly. They're my pride and joy.

Manicure/pedicure, nowhere near as regularly as I used to or would prefer to.

Hair gets cut and dyed very infrequently. I did it myself the other week.

Exfoliate when I feel crusty.

motherlovebone · 10/02/2010 23:55

bathe and wash and brush hair 2-3 times per week

teeth and wash daily

dont shave

file raggedy nails as and when

tint eyelashes when i remember/have time

haircut 3 times a year ish

im very low maintenance, near to no maintenance i think

Shower, hair wash and blowdry every day, make up every day, cleanse and moisturise 2x per day, clean teeth 2x per day, floss 1x per day, exfoliate and moisturise most days. Trim nails every few days, manicure only about 1x per month, but aim to have a pro one 1x per week if I get the job I just applied for. Hairdresser 1x per month, again will go 1x per week if get job. Dilemma over eyebrows, when I pluck them they tend to ingrow. Epilate legs every couple of weeks. Shave armpits every day in shower.

why?
god i am starting to HATE the term GROOMED
its become like a prison sentence

BariatricObama · 11/02/2010 08:46

yes it makes me think of a logn haired dog having poo cut out off its arse hair

monkeysmama · 11/02/2010 08:54

It makes me think of something else.

Romanarama have you tried eyebrow threading? I've been having it done for years and it's great. No ingrowing hairs either. Exfoliating helps to get rid of them though.

I shower, wash hair and maoisture body daily, cleanse, tone, moisturise face morning and night, make up every day, exfoliate face and body twice weekly, eyebrows threaded every 2-3 weeks, Immac bikini line once a week, shave legs and underarms twice a week in winter get waxed in summer, do a home manicure and pedicure every week or two.

When I worked I had a weekly manicure, two weekly pedicure, frequent waxing etc and it got to be such a chore.
