I'm in the US, but I always try to find Slavic beauty techs for any services I need because in my experience they do the most thorough and detailed job.

Not sure where this video has sourced information but I would say we prefer natural beauty, anything unnatural is considered tacky and vulgar, but there are rules thet are universal: long natural hair, natural make up, ALWAYS dress and heels, ALWAYS well groomed, nails done etc. Also in life you are supposed to be tough, there is no such thing as self love or self care, it's western slogans, but for our men we are supposed to be soft. If you don't have a man you have to be very tough and strong yet still in heels and a dress. lol

so, as a Russian girl i would say this video is only about moscow, cause our capital is all about luxury and money
if we talk about region girls, we don't go to cosmetologist every month, we can do it at home, and regular people don't go to massages and etc

This made me feel good, thanks for posting!

Growing up in Slavic country hair and nails are a big deal the more natural and healthy the better
Some of my tips:
Nettle tea is super popular for hair but the treatment should be one month daily and then taking a break. also horsetail herb is great for hair and nails cause of silica and camomile to rinse your hair with which make it lighter. I think we appreciate herbs in general.

In my country there is over saturation of beauty salons, chemical peels and micro needling is basic but also a lot of body treatments like endormologie and lasers.
Facial massages recently became very popular. More natural cosmetics tend to be popular here.

I would also like to add spending time in nature for mental health which then shines through :)

Thank you so much for being so respectful. Usually videos about Russian women are not nice but you're so classy and gentle when you talk about us and our culture, i appreciate it a lot!

Toner first, then essence. The toner is suppose to balance your skin after being stripped from the water and wash, and then after balancing with the toner you add in the essence so it has a conduit to pierce deeper into the skin as a proper treatment. Then follow with your serum or oils and moisturizer etc

[meloetta]

Hello! Small tip but it doesn’t really matter: essence is usually a brightening or antiaging step and it goes right after toner :)
Also not recommended to put ice directly on your face because it can actually negatively impact blood vessels; you can use ice globes or at least a barrier between the ice and your face

Finally it should be noted the moscow is extremely different from the rest of russia, and $20 is quite a luxury outside of moscow. We must keeo in mind russians in moscow are the most wealthy russians.

All my life I grew up in Malta. My mother is Russian, with a mix of Ukrainian and Polish. Only this year I have realised just how much I behave and appear Slavic despite not being integrated in their culture. Am the only one in the family who cares a lot about her looks and health, I read serious books, and I don’t believe in modern feminism where woman should be “independent” by not caring for their man. When I go out, I want to look put together; clean braided hair, natural makeup, feminine clothing. And I always thought it was better to save smiles for when something is really funny or appreciated.

So basically they do the stuff we American girls see on TikTok: hair oil, dermatologist, manicure, hair extensions, sleep on satin pillow case, face ice, capsule wardrobe that’s alittle formal etc

[noracomaladaplanas]

In Spain a professional manicure can cost you from 13€ to 25€ in a lot of places, and the maximum I’ve seen is 45€ ❤️ love your videos, so inspiring 👑

[livvynhell]

As a Slavic woman, this is interesting to see how Americans view us lol

[Ash_Queen]

This was very informative! I subscribed immediately! I’m looking forward to watching more cultures 😊

"They love themselves without makeup"
Partially true; they won't leave out the trash without a full face on, believe me lol

[cutlipsbyweatherday]

I am glad you highlighted that Slavic people are diverse and spread around Eastern, Central and Southeast Europe, but it kinda defeats the point of even explaining that when you´re going to only talk about Russians and calling them Slavic. Yes, they are Slavic, but the don´t represent every Slavic country, go more to the West and you´ll find completely different beauty culture. This topic would be more suitable for several episodes. I think it would be great to talk about the different approaches between Eastern and West Slavs, even Balcan Slavs have a very different culture. And about the pickled food...I dunno about Russians, but I think most of us just eat pickled food because that´s what we are used to eat, it´s cause it´s cheap and delicious, not many people really think of the benefits. And when mentioning the prices of beauty treatments, it is still quite expensive when you consider average wages. I know this video is supposed to be only a quick overview, but it should not be called "Slavic women" because it´s all about Russian women. I think it just gives people who don´t know much about Slavic people a wrong idea, especially about non-Russian Slavs.

it's not really fair to compare russian and american prices because their economy is different and the average russian earns less than the average american so everything is cheaper in general if you were to compare it that way.
