Back to School Skin care tips.

(8/25th/2015)

So as much as it pains me to say this, Summer is ending and school is starting, which means pretty soon you'll have to get into the habit of a school routine. Now, if you're like me you have a lot of things to juggle, with clubs, friends, charity events, parties, and a newly adopted son. Just because you're busy doesn't mean that you can't have any time for yourself even if it's means sneaking away to take a nice hot bubble bath while the your kid is sleep, or reading those assigned chapters while neck deep in lavender scented bubbles.

Now, It might night look like it but I constantly get break outs, whether it's from stress or sweating or anything else, which is why I tend to be obsessed with make up and skin care products and the sort. However a lot of the chemicals can be harmful for your skin, and the other's don't really work. I know there are a lot of products out there and believe me i've tried them all. I've even had medically prescription acne cream/lotion. While the medical stuff did work, it left my skin dry and red and just totally unattractive which meant that I had to put on twice the make-up. So if you don't have the money to go out and purchase the acne cream and skin care products you see on Tv, I have a few solutions. One of them being My own developed and approved Skin care line, along with Make up that its guaranteed to not cause breaks out to even the most sensitive of skins. There's a couple below and I guarantee it will work I have used it myself. It's also super affordable. However if you don't want to do that I do have a few home remedies and skin tips.

Okay, firstly DO NOT wash your face with bar soap, it dries out your skin and it's just horrible. It takes twice the amount of moisturizer to make your skin feels soft again afterwards. Also don't wash your face too much, I know oily skin my seem horrible and shiny and just dreadful but It's kinds of a good thing. That oil is a natural moisturizer and while there is a such thing your skin being overly oily it just means you should bump up your face scrub to about three to four times a week. I don't recommend deep facial mask frequently because I feel it's over the top. Give your skin time to react first couple of times. As far as makeup goes, don't cake it on and most definitely NEVER go to bed with make up on. If you can get makeup wipes that have sometime of moisturizer cream added that's a big plus.

I cannot stress this enough NEVER POP A PIMPLE OR ZIT. I know it's gross and having it on your face is a horrible thing, but popping pimples, blackheads, or zits leads to scarring and it makes your acne seem worse than it is. Pimples will go away on their own and you can help them by washing your face and I even dab a little rubbing alcohol or peroxide because I feel it dries it up and makes it go away quicker. I don't know if it's what happens scientifically, or I'm just imagining it but it surely makes me feel better about the fight against acne and terrible skin.

Now just because Summer is ending, does not mean that you aren't susceptible to Uv rays. The sun is still out and you can get a sunburn in the winter as silly as it sounds. I'm not saying you should lather the sunblock on, however picking up a few bottles of lotion that have the added bonus of being a sunblock spf 15 or higher is what I go by but I attract the sun no matter what the weather is. Also make sure you moisturize your skin a lot, I don't recommend putting too much lotion on your face because I feel it counteracts all the moisturizer you buy specifically for your face but your arms and legs, along with various other body parts should be fine.
