Winter is a full period to provide specific care to hair and skin, advises Isabelle Randrianasolo, a training beautician. Winter brings changes in temperature and humidity that can affect hair. The cold and the wind dry up the hair, causing damaged forks and tips.
Cutting your hair or refreshing your tips is sometimes necessary, especially to repair the damage created by the cold, she explains.
The same goes for the skin, especially that of the face. The cold and the wind dry out the skin, reducing the production of sebum and disturbing the protective hydrolipidic film. This makes the skin more sensitive to external aggressions, irritation and sensations of discomfort.
In addition, cold and dry air promotes the loss of water from the skin, leaving it dehydrated, dull and uncomfortable.
The cold can also cause the narrowing of the blood vessels, reducing the supply of nutrients and oxygen to the skin, which can cause redness and irritation. To take care of it, nothing better than products based on natural ingredients, she says.
Precisely, Madagascar is full of natural plants beneficial for the skin and hair.
Aloe vera, an omnipresent plant in Madagascar, is beneficial to hydrate and soothe the skin and scalp, preventing drought and hair breakage. This is just one example because Madagascar has a wide range of plants that are used in cosmetics. Of course, their transformation into cosmetic products requires precise knowledge and dosages.
Isabelle, serving several beauty salons since 2010, has diversified her activities on the advice of one of her employers, pursuing studies and research parallel to her job.
After also embarking on her own account, she gradually begins a production of dishwashing liquid. Later, she combines her passion for the profession of esthetician and hairdresser with the production of a range of hair and face care based on only natural products, such as aloe vera, hydrosols and vegetable oils but also shea butter.
She uses them on herself and offers them to her customers in her living room located in Ambanidia, as well as in her second living room located in Itaosy.
