Skin Care Tips

Hello everybody! I thought that I'd share some tips to help prevent breakouts and to clear them up as fast as possible!

                  

1.Wash your face twice a day (no more) with warm water and a mild soap made for people with acne and gently massage your face with circular motions but Don't scrub. Overwashing and scrubbing can cause skin to become irritated. After cleansing,apply a moisturizer

2.Don't pop pimples! It's tempting, but popping pimples can push infected material further into the skin, leading to more swelling and redness, and even scarring.

3.Avoid touching your face with your fingers or leaning your face on objects that collect sebum and skin residue like your phone. Touching your face can spread the bacteria that cause pores to become inflamed and irritated. To keep bacteria at bay, wash your hands before applying anything to your face, such as treatment creams or makeup.

4.If you wear glasses or sunglasses, make sure you clean them frequently to keep oil from clogging the pores around your eyes and nose.

5.If you get acne on your body, try not to wear tight clothes. They don't allow skin to breathe and may cause irritation. Scarves, headbands, and caps can collect dirt and oil, too.

6.Remove your makeup before you go to sleep. When buying makeup, make sure you choose brands that say "noncomedogenic" or "nonacnegenic" on the label. Throw away old makeup that smells or looks different from when you first bought it.

7.Keep hair clean and out of your face to prevent additional dirt and oil from clogging your pores.

8.Protect your skin from the sun. It may seem like a tan masks acne, but it's only temporary. A tan may worsen your acne, not improve it. Tanning also causes damage to skin that will eventually lead to wrinkles and increase your risk of skin cancer

MAC Select Cover Up Concealer Review

Hey everyone! I thought that i would review this concealer that I've been using for like the past month or so, its the MAC Select Cover Up Concealer, and so far I have been loving it! Considering that I have some pretty dark circles, this is great because it gives great coverage and it has good lasting power. I usually apply my moisturizer first, then the concealer, and then I set it with a translucent powder and then my cirlces are gone! You only need a small pea size amount because a little goes a long way! This concealer comes in a lot of shades so any skin tone can find its match. This costs $17 at a MAC counter or store which i don't think is to bad considering that this will probably last you for 1 year or more! Overall I love this concealer! I would definately repurchase this again.

L'OREAL Telescopic Explosion Mascara Review

Hey everyone! This is my first post on my blog and i decided to review a mascara that I recently bought. Its the L'OREAL Telescopic Explosion Waterproof Mascara. I read many reviews before buying this, and half the people loved it and the other half hated it! So I gave it a try and I Hated it. First of it really takes a long time to do all your lashes and its clumpy. The consistency is really Wet wich makes it really messy. It doesnt make my lashes any darker and that's that i got the darkest shade. The wand is really bendy and really delicate. Overall its a waste of $8 and i would not recommend buying this.
