This Might Be Fun!

I would love to go to one of these shin-digs sometime! Maybe it's my time..... :]

The Perfect Brow

I don't know about y'all but I am a brow snob.

To me, the brow makes the face!

I have definitely had my eyebrow oopsies over my lifetime, one being a girl simply could not wax therefore creating a thing line of nothing on my face, it was embarrassing. I might have a picture to show you. But now with my experience in waxing and eye for the perfect brow, I think everyone should take a note or too and create your perfect brow!

Examples:

Kim K.

Simply stunning, she's Armenian which equals, uh-hem, hairy. (Plus they talk about it on the show...). Obviously she has to keep up with those bad boys and does so well at it!

I am obsessed with Megan Fox's brows. They are such a "sexy/fierce" shape. They really make her eyes pop!

Keys for the perfect brow:

Pencil/Filler

Cliniques Instant Lift for Brows

$15

and worth every penny. Excellent product.

Or you can go the more detailed "professional" route.

Macs 208 Small Angle Eyebrow Brush

$20

Get the brush damp and dab with a matte brown shadow.

When the brush is wet, a little goes a long way.

Mac's Brown Down

$14

Note: Please do not create a whole new eyebrow with a pencil or your brush and shadow, it is tacky and noticeable.

If you are unsatisfied with your eyebrow shape, GROW THEM OUT. It's okay if you look like Bert for a couple weeks, it will be worth it in the long run. If you are still unsatisfied or don't know how to reshape them, CALL ME.

How should your brow lay on your face?

It's all about your nose.

You want the beginning point to be directly straight up from the outside of your nostril, the end, about a 45 degree angle from that point. The arch? I always said the outside part of the colored part of your eye straight up but not everyone's eye shape can work that way. So on this photo below, it's measured from the center of your nose diagonaled outward. Gosh this is hard to explain via typing!! Got it? Make sense? I swear I know what I'm talking about..

Another example.

Results we want!!!

Good Brow..

Results we DON'T WANT!!!

Bad brow.... Come on Leighton.

And there you have it!

Now go make your perfect brows.

Our Goal:

Vitamins & Deodorant

I was just sitting down talking with my husband about Vitamins and what not and how I take a crapload of them. I love them. They make me feel good!

What I take:

-Prenatal-

(Though I am not Preg, I am nursing and I have been taking this Vit for a couple years now. It rocks)

It's a great multivitamin in my opinion.

-Biotin-

Benefits: The benefits of Biotin are primarily to treat Biotin deficiency. Signs of Biotin deficiency include thin hair, brittle nails, balding, a rash located on facial areas as well as depression, loss of appetite, hallucinations, numbness in body extremes, fatigue and lethargy. So since I had a baby 5 1/2 months ago, I am balding. And it is not cute. Therefore I have begun taking Biotin faithfully and am hoping for positive results soon.

-Iron-

I am iron deficient and so I take an extra iron supplement on top of what's in my prenatal.

The Benefits of Iron: ENERGY.

Tired all the time? Take an Iron supplement. Or eat a hamburger. During my pregnancy I ate In-N-Out every night for a week cause I,

1. Needed Iron (hence the burger)

2. Because it's delicious.

-B-Complex-

Benefits: It is FILLED with amazing things! All your B vitamins including Folic Acid, and Biotin.

My sister was telling me she was talking to a client who was so happy and positive and she asked what she does to be so happy and her answer: she takes B vitamins! I was sold after hearing that story, now, I can't live without them.

Alright so after we were discussing Vitamins, we got onto a topic he read about regarding

"anti-perspirant" deodorants.

Sources:

Read HERE

And HERE

HERE

And you can look up many other reasons why you should not use an anti-perspirant deodorant.

Not gonna lie, I am a Dove girl. But after doing my research, I will be switching over completely.

Adidas carries a great Deodorant that is not an anti-persirant but it includes cotton to soak up any kind of excretion (sweat).

I will buy. :]

And there you have it! Just an interesting tid-bit.

The Brow.

Brows are very important to me.

If you have crummy eyebrows, it's okay.

There are special tools to make your brows fab.

i.e. http://www.clinique.com/product/CATEGORY4895/PROD15703/Makeup/Brows/index.tmpl

My best friend.

It is literally the best eyebrow pencil in the world.

If you disagree, you must tell me the one you use. Until then, this is truly the best.

Let me just tell you, I love Clinique.

I have recently converted over from their loose powder to their pressed and I am in love.

Also I am all about this product.

Put it on before bed and I am bound to have a good makeup day.

In school they kept telling us how bad Clinique is for you skin.

I wasn't buying it.

My mother in law has GORGEOUS skin and guess what?

She is a dedicated Cliniquee.

Sooo I gave it a shot.

They have some really great products and I have yet to be disappointed! And I will continue to be a Cliniquee until the day I die.

Xoxo.

Softening Stretch Mark Lines

Next question to answer?

"can you do a post about making stretch marks look better without spending tons of $$?"

I have been wanting to do a "stretch mark" post so I am really glad you asked Karen!

First off, what your poor body goes through during pregnancy is simply horrifying. And let's not talk about what you look like in the mirror post pardom...

In my whole pregnancy since the day I had found out a bun was in the oven, I stayed faithful putting on my creams and butters every single night.

The result?

I have NO STRETCH MARKS

on my tummy that is.

Now the girls upstairs, that I neglected from lathering with my creams and butters therefore, scarred all over. Looks like cat scratches. Luckily for me they are beginning to fade but oh how I wish I could go back and be more aware that my tummy is not the only place I can get SM.

(Also going from a 34C to a 34E doesn't help either. Oh gosh.)

ANYWHO.

I tried an assortment of different lotions, butters, creams. The more the merrier right?

What I used:

*Queen Haan Cocoa Butter

*Palmers Tummy Butter (not the lotion, the actual butter, comes in a tin jar.)

*Vaseline Cocoa Butter

Now, what to do about my poor chest?

VITAMIN E.

I bought a little squirt container of Vit. E and have been putting it on everyday after I shower and before bed. I am telling you, this stuff is amazing. It's not going to get rid of your SM but it surely will reduce them. I also bought some Vitamin E lotion and put that all over as well and am really seeing some improvements.

I am so embarrassed for summer to come and putting on a bathing suit so I really am trying to dedicate myself to taking care of these nasty scars!

I am going to go above and beyond and purchase some Mederma (which is pretty pricey) but I am sure it will be worth it. I have heard that stuff works wonders.

Products to search for in the stores:

*Palmers Tummy Butter

*Cocoa Butters (I would recommend really any kind)

*Vitamin E

*Mederma Stretch Marks Therapy

*The Spoiled Mama's Tummy Butter

*Castor Oil

*Glycolic Acid

*And I am sure there are so many more products this is just what I can think of off the top of my head!

Good luck and let me know of your results!

Happy Friday!

Once I get to 30 Followers I will do a giveaway :]

Chicken Skin

One of the other questions someone asked me about was how to get rid of the dry red bumps that seem to form on the back of your arms.

This condition is called Keratosis Pilaris aka Chicken Skin and is completely normal and common.

All it is is a build up of excess keratin forming within the hair follicle.

There is not a natural cure for KP but you can treat it.

Some of the products I researched to help with KP is

*Glycolic Acid

* Vitamin A

*Retin-A

*Euercerin Lotions

*Taking a loofa and use Dove Nutrium Body Wash and scrub!

*Neutrogena Multi-Vitamin Acne Treatment Lotion (apply twice a day)

*And I actually read about an Asprin Mask!

Quote:

Aspirin Mask

Why does it work?
Aspirin is actually a form of Beta Hydroxy Acids or BHAs, which are found in many skin creams and work by exfoliating the dull, dead layers of skin, revealing fresh new skin underneath. Over time, BHAs can help clarify skin tone and promote healing of blemishes.

However, do not use the aspirin mask if you have a sensitivity to BHAs or if you have very sensitive skin, or obviously if you are allergic to aspirin!

How do you make it?
The Aspirin mask must be made with uncoated, dissolvable tablets. Take two or three tablets and dissolve in a teaspoon/tablespoon of warm water.

To Apply
Spread the mixture on the face, avoiding the eye area and leave for a few minutes until it dries. Very gently rub the mask for about 10 seconds, to exfoliate the skin. Rinse off with tepid water. Remember to moisturize as BHAs can be drying.

I find this an excellent mask to use once or twice a week. It makes your skin feel as soft as a babys bottom and helps to clarify skin tone and texture.

---

You may want to adjust the recipe to use it on Keratosis Pilaris since the aspirin mask is meant for the face. Use about 10-12 aspirin and added a little bit more warm water. Crush the aspirin in the water until it's a paste like texture (don't use too much water though, just enough to make it a thick paste) then apply it on your arms, legs or wherever you have KP. Leave it on until it dries (about 5-10 minutes) and then exfoliate in to your skin. Rinse off with warm water.

Unfortunately KP is a hereditary skin condition and there isn't an actual cure from it. Just be consistent in your treatments and I am sure you will find some relief.

And there you have it! Happy Wednesday! This week is going by FAST.

Top Facial Sunscreens

Thank you for your suggestions friends!

I will first start with one of Brianna's questions on what the best facial sunscreens are for summertime!

None of us like greasy sunscreens right??

And for me I feel like just plain old water babies on my face is too thick, oily and doesn't quite do the trick to keep those nasty sun rays away from your precious face.

Well I have definitely done my research and these are my top favorite sunscreen for your face:

Banana Boat Sun Wear Faces.

I have worn this stuff for many summers and have yet to get a single sun burn on my face.

I am telling you this stuff is GOOD and oil free! (And it has a nice fragrance)

Sugg. Retail: $4

I am obsessed with Clinique lately.

I haven't actually used this exact product but I have used their before makeup moisturizing sunscreen for daily use. (I clearly don't know the name of it). But this particular sunscreen was voted as being one of the best last summer.

Sugg. Retail $20

Aveeno all around has great products in my opinion.

This sunscreen too was voted as being one of the best last summer!

Sugg. Retail: $8

Of course it's important to always wear a moisturizer with an spf in it.

This is my favorite. Everyday use!

Sugg. Retail: $30

PROTECT YOUR FACE FROM THE SUN!

No one likes a leather face...... just sayin....

Another tip soon to come!

Lips Gone Wild!

Mmmmm lips.

We all want soft, supple, voluptuous lips.

SOLUTIONS :]

First off:

Get those lippers soft and free of flaky skin by....

**First apply a warm washcloth over lips softening the dead skin cells.

Then mix a little bit of Vaseline, and White Sugar and scrub a dub dub.

Some of my favorite lip items...

Mac Costa Chic Matte Lipstick.

I know I said before I am not a fan of lipstick.....I lied. Or I changed my mind. I am obsessed and slowly will be able to open up my own lipstick joint.

Of course Macs Lipglasses.

Lancome Juicy Tubes

K, this is important.

There is such thing as abusing the use of lipliner....

(LOVE Macs Cremestick Liners)

Good...

BAD.

There is so much wrong with this poor womans get up. I can't bear to look at it anymore.

Eyebrows.AHHH

You want something to make your lips plump and have color without actually applying color?

DOES THIS MAKE SENSE?

Well, Lip Venom will do the trick! I already have thick kissers but still....the burning sensation of this stuff is ridiculous. It's so awesome! You can purchase at Sephora.

So pretty! Macs Cremesheen Gloss. Love the color. Love the creaminess.

What would you guys want me to blog about???? For my 10 readers.......

I need ideas! Hence the lack of posting.

Love you all!

Chocolate Moisturizing Mask

I experimented. With my first Vlog.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little embarrassed but it had to happen sometime!

So, I'm just testing the waters and did a Vlog of me applying Chocolate goo to my face.

Just for fun!

Enjoy :]

Recipe:

2 T. Cocoa Powder

1 T. Milk

2 T. Honey

1/2 T. Olive Oil

It's kind of a large amount of mask....(I don't know how else to say it), so go ahead and put it on your neck and chest too if you'd like!

Havvveee funnnnn

I was so happy with my end result. My skin feels so great! I did moisturize after I washed it off but I don't think I necessarily had to....that's goood.

(Don't mind my ghetto shirt. I was baking. And I don't know how it got torn....)

10 Foods? Better Skin

I love finding out foods that are good for your skin so I thought I would share with you my favorite picks!

1. Avacado- Mmmm. I love me a good smooshed up avacado with a little s&p smothered on a saltine. Too much? An avacado is full of essential oils and B-complex vitamins that nourish your skin, inside and out.

2. Almonds- Not only are they my favorite nut, they help to give you a fabulous complexion! They contain a heap of Vitamin E which of course nourishes your skin leaving it moist and happy. (Moist as in not dry. I hate that word but it only seems relevant).

3. Cottage Cheese- Believe it or not! I am the worlds #1 fan of cheese. All dairy products of course are full of calcium which help your bones and skin but cottage cheese contains selenium (an essential mineral) which is best friends with Vitamin E. :]

4. Acerola Cherries- Yea, I thought a cherry was a cherry but apparently there are different types. Acerola Cherries are also filled with Vitamin C and interesting fact: Vitamin C fights skin damage from the sun and wrinkles.

5. Sweet Potatoes- Limit yourself on the butter smooshed into this creamy mess and focus on how awesome it is that it is helping produce the elasticity fibers in those luscious cheeks leaving that beautiful structure plump and glorious!

6. Mushrooms- Mushrooms are rich in riboflavin, a B vitamin that’s vital to your skin. Riboflavin is involved in tissue maintenance and repair, and improves skin blemishes caused by rosacea (rosie cheeks aren't always a good thing). Riboflavin is so important for skin repair that the body uses large amounts after sustaining a burn or wound, or undergoing surgery. I've totally done my research! :]

7. Omega 3s- I have a delicious bottle of an Omega 3 supplement in my fridge. One spoonful a night and it's like a bite of Lemon pudding! Anywho Omega 3s helps to hydrate the skin. If you're no fan of fish, try using Flaxseed oil which actually contains about 2.5 grams of Omega 3s. Essential fatty acids help break down oil production and unclog pores.

8. Berries- Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Etc. who doesn't love em! One word Antioxidant. Antioxidants help with free radicals from sun exposure. The sun is a definite "frenemie." Eat em, you'll have pretty skin.

9. Whole Wheat- I never have White bread in my house. I'm sure that will change once my kids learn about White bread but for now, they ain't getting it. White flours can mess with your insulin levels which can lead to breakouts. No bueno.

10. Water!! - Put down that Diet Coke and drink a bottle of water! Water is definitely my best friend. I am definitely no soda drinker because let's face it, soda will be the death of you. The end. Water helps cells move nutrients in and toxins out, which automatically leaves skin looking better. When we're properly hydrated, we also sweat more efficiently. Doing so helps keep skin clean and clear as well.

And there you have it! Enjoy your next shopping trip!

Heel Fissures

The word is gross, let's be honest. A heel fissure is the technical term for cracked heels caused from extremely dry skin. I have 100% my mothers skin, which is DRY. I literally have to slap on all the creams and butters daily (especially in the winter). If I wear any kind of sandal or open back shoe in the winter, my heels will crack and bleed and it hurts so bad! What I do for this, with immediate pain, I will squirt some super glue in it to close up the wound. I know sounds weird but I actually heard about it from my father-in-law who is a farmer and outside all day long. I get little cracks up by the ends of my fingernails too on the skin and I'm telling you, that super glue works wonders. Trust me.

To care for my aching feet and hands, I use dun da daaaaa VASELINE and socks. Also I always keep one of those foot scrubbers in my shower and scrub a dub dub daily, then on goes the vas and socks.

So for those of you struggling with the nasty dry winter feet and hands, Vaseline should be your best friend.

Just one more tip on having healthy skin!

Did you know, it is important to keep your hands and feet well manicured.

It's a sanitary thing really.

No one likes unpedicured toes!

(Plus an excuse to go get one ;])

Oil Me Up!

I am recently OBSESSED with oils. And oils as in essential oils. Mmmmmm.

I started developing a clogged milk duct last week and was freaking out, like to the point of bruising my boob from pushing on it super hard. Nothing was coming out. I mean nothing. I was doing the hot water, the pumping, nursing, pumping, nursing. I thought I was going to die. (I am deathly afraid of mastitus....). So I was talking to a friend who is totally into oils and she told me that I need to lather my chest in it!

She recommended lavender, lemongrass, and citrus (and one more called Purify but I didn't use that it cause she didn't have any more, by doTERRA).

Can I just say oh my? I was in heaven. It finally released because of these blessed oils and I have never been more relieved.

I AM AN OIL BELIEVER.

and you should be to.

They do so many more amazing things. I have taken a couple classes on oils and I really need to buckle down and get into the industry. I will make that one of my next goals!

Just a fun tip! :]

All Things Chocolate

I'm excited to share with you that I've been doing some, uh-hem, experimenting.

With.

Chocolate.

You see, chocolate (dark) is full of antioxidants therefore, what better excuse is there to eat your face off if you are wearing a CHOCOLATE mask!

I will have the results and recipes for you shortly.

This is going to be so much fun!

Goodniiighhhttt.

A Homemade Mask

Let's be honest, is your face feeling destroyed lately because of the dry winter weather?? I know mine is....therefore, we are in need of a deliciously hydrating mask. Masks are one of those things that are so easy to throw together! What makes it so easy is that you most likely will have the essentials in your refrigerator or cupboard.

Here's an idea for those with dry skin to try out and see if it will help loosen up that pretty face of yours.

What you need:

1 Egg Yolk

1 tsp. Honey

1 tsp. Olive Oil or some Vitamin E Oil if you have it.

Mix together and apply generously all over face neck chest where ever you want. Leave on for 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. Pat dry and of course moisturize.

Why egg yolk you might ask? The Yolk of an egg is full of water and fat acting as a great emollient and water binding agent leaving your skin Soft, Supple, and Smooth.

Why Honey? Honey is very high in antioxidants and can give your skin the nutrients it needs to stay smooth and reverse the damage done by free radicals, making your skin glow.

Why Vitamin E? Vitamin E helps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Dry skin tends to thin your skin therefore creating fine lines and wrinkles meaning you age faster! We don't want that.....Vitamin E it up!

Happy Wednesday :]

What's in Your Makeup Bag??

I LOVE Makeup. I always have. I remember jabbing a mascara brush in my eyeball when I was like 4 because I wanted to be like my sisters and wear makeup. When I went to aesthetics school, I originally went so I could have the skills to be a professional makeup artist. Little did I know, in school, we lightly touched on makeup and I didn't learn nearly enough about product but I did learn a lot about ingredients in makeup.

Annnnyyywaaayyyyy I want to share with you my daily makeup products. These are the products I use every single day when I put on my makeup in the morning.

(Colors will change based on the event, but generally this is what I use :])

Step One: Concealer.

I use Mac's Select Cover-Up and am obsessed. I love this stuff so much! I generally use it under my eyes, dabbing a small amount, letting it sit for about 30 seconds then blending it in. You can you a concealer brush but I'm lazy and use my finger.

Step Two: Tinted Moisturizer

I'm not so much a foundation girl, I don't like the feeling of goo all over my face. Plus, I don't really need it. So, for a nice thin shield to cover some of my imperfections, I use

Dermalogica's Sheer Tint Moisture. This stuff is so awesome. Plus, it has an spf which you should always find a foundation or moisturizer with one because you ALWAYS should be protecting your skin from the sun. :]

3. Primer

Love Primer! Especially Urban Decay's Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It helps your eyeshadow stay on all day long and leaves no yucky crease! Love love love.

4. Powder

I love Cliniques loose powders. They are very sheer and light and are really good to just brush on and dash out the door leaving a clean crisp look.

5. Shadow

Have I said I am obsessed with Urban Decay? Their eyeshadows are ridiculous. They have so many awesome color pallets too. Midnight Cowboy Rides Again, and Stray Dog are my top two absolute favs!

6. Liner

I'm not picky with eyeliner. Although there are some that will bleed and run and create that goop in your tear ducts but I find pencils way better than liquid liner. I only put eyeliner on the bottom inner part of my eyelids not on top, only because I have smaller eyes and darkening them on top will make them look even smaller. No no. Don't want that. So I just get whatever eyeliner I feel like!

7. Mascara

Holy Amazing! Maybellines Colassal Volume Mascara is awesome! I'm sure many of you use this. Good choice. I also really like Loreals Telescopic Eyes mascara too. There's no need to buy a tube of 20 dollar mascara when there are perfectly perfect ones at Target!

8. Rouge aka Blush

Everyone needs blush. Nope. You need it. Because, it's cute. NARS. Ohhh myyy. All of it is incredible. Especially their Super Orgasm powder blush.

The name will have you back for more. Inappropriate? Nahh.

9. Bronzer

K. This technically isn't a "bronzer" but it's close eneough. Mac's Mineralize Skinfinish. Once again, LOVE. I am a fan of sparkle and shine and this tops off the perfect glow for your cute cheeks. Mmmm.

10. LipLiner

Lip Liner is so great in highlighting those luscious kissers. It just helps to make your final steps complete. Don't choose a dark color please? This isn't 1997. Xoxo. I choose Mac's lip liners. They last forever and just using a very neutral color creates a very natural look.

11. LipGlass

I'm sorry but Mac is awesome. I've had and used almost all of their glorious lipglosses. I'm no fan of lipstick so I finish off my ready to go look with a few swipes of LipGlass.

And there you have it. This is what's in my makeup bag. :]

Apricot Scrub: Uh Oh...

K. Almost everyone knows what Apricot Scrub is right? You keep it in your shower....only use it every once in a while....cause it hurts so bad.....? Right? This stuff is rough. You might as well scrub your face with sandpaper it's that abrasive. You should exfoliate at least once a week just to help your skin stay pretty and bright and to get rid of those dingy dead skin cells. There are many ways to exfoliate.

Here's my confession: I use Apricot Scrub. Ahhhhhhh! Sue me. Only I DO NOT put what's in the tube directly on my face. For those of you who have it and don't want to throw it away because you know it cost 4 bucks and you may use it later once your skin is a bit tougher (good luck) here's what you can do and what I do. I keep in my shower next to my A.S. a bottle of a cream cleanser (Dermalogica's Ultra Calming Cleanser. You only need a teensy-weensy bit of the scrub and a good pump of the cleanser and voila! You have totally diluted the scrub into a nice, creamy, nonabrasive exfoliant. But remember, there's such thing as over exfoliating so only do it once a week if even that. Maybe every other. You don't want to dry out your skin and sloff off those paper thin layers. Your skin is delicate. Be nice to it. Happy MLK Day!

Cleansing Your Specific Skin Type

Keeping your skin clean is key to having "good skin." Although some people are just unlucky in the genepool. Luckily, neither of my parents had terrible skin although I have had my moments like anyone else. When I was in school we used all Dermalogica products. I loooove Dermalogica. They have great lines using all natural ingredients, no chemicals whatsoever. I need to do some more research and discover other lines and try out their products but that will be for another time. My absolute fav is their MediBac Clearing line. I don't use all of the product involved with it, (I have before and it works wonders) but I swear by the cleanser. So at night, I use the MediBac Clearing cleanser and a light moisturizer (Dermalogica's Active Moist) to seal the deal and lock in that goodness that cleared out my nasty pores.

Everyone's skin is different. For me, I don't really have oily skin (except for maybe my nose a lil bit), so I don't want to overdry my skin by washing it twice a day. Even though everywhere says wash your face morning and night, I don't disagree with that statement one bit. You SHOULD wash your face morning and night, especially if you have oily skin.

I found this article on ehow.com which explains what you should do in taking care of your skin with each type:

Normal Skin

Normal skin should be washed twice daily. Wash once in the morning with cool water and a mild cleanser, to remove any dirt or oil that has built up while sleeping. Dry the face, and go about your daily moisturizing and makeup application. In the evening, wash with a mild cleanser, and follow up with a facial scrub if you wear heavy makeup. If wearing long-lasting eye makeup, be sure to use an eye makeup remover designed specifically to remove thick mascara and eyeliner.

Oily Skin

Oily skin requires a bit more treatment, as oil and dirt build up in the pores more quickly, leaving skin with a greasy look. Wash the face at least twice daily, with a face wash designed specially for oily skin. If wearing makeup or moisturizer, use oil-free products that will prevent excess oil from building up. Wash the face in the morning, afternoon when possible and again before bed. With your nighttime regimen, use a face wash and follow up with a toner that is designed to remove excess oil and buildup. Toner can also be used throughout the day to absorb excess oil, if dabbing with a tissue does not pick up the excess.

Dry Skin

Dry skin also requires special care, as washing too often can over-dry, causing cracking and peeling of the skin. Wash the face in the morning with cold water only, do not use a cleanser. Choose a moisturizer made for dry skin, and apply as directed. Wash the face again at night, this time using a mild cleanser, and makeup remover if applicable. Exfoliate with a face scrub to remove dead skin cells, then follow up with moisturizer again to replenish the skin.

Skin With Acne

It is important to handle acne with care. First, determine your skin type from the categories mentioned above, and follow that cleansing routine. Be sure to use a soft washcloth when washing the face, as scrubbing hard will further irritate acne and cause inflammation. While some facial cleansers are designed specially for skin with acne, if your problems persist, purchase an acne cream designed to be dabbed on the acne itself, and left on overnigh
