My Skin Care Routine

Hey guys!!!
For a very long time I didn't care about my skin care whatsoever. The biggest reason why was because I was too lazy to do it! Last year I started watching beauty gurus on YouTube and not only were they talking about make up, but also about how important taking care of your skin is. That's when i decided to take care of my skin. I really wasn't liking the way mine was feeling at the time.

Sooooo.....in October I went to Target to purchase a couple of products to try out:

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Cleanser ($4)

In the morning right after I wake up I get one pump of product and massage it all over my face till it foams up.  Then rinse it off and dry my face with a towel. My face feels very refreshed, clean, and awake. It also wakes me up a little bit especially since I am so not a morning person. 


St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub ($6)

I only use this every couple of days while I'm taking a shower because I have Normal to Dry Skin and if I use it everyday I will get dry patches on my skin. I get a little bit of it and I massage it into my skin for 2 minutes then I rinse it off. My face feels clean and if I have a breakout it will help dry it out.

 

Clean & Clear Essentials Deep Cleaning Toner ($4)

Every night before bed I get a cotton round and put some product on it and I wipe it all over my face very gently. It helps to remove any dirt I have on my face or even any make up that didn't come off in the shower. 





Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque ($4)

I only use this face mask once or twice a week. I apply the product all over my face and leave it on for 15 minutes then I rinse it off and dry my face with a towel. When you first apply the mask it smells minty and it burns a little bit. After a couple minutes you will feel it getting tight on your face. It helps with drying up any pimples and shrink enlarged pores.




Tips:

  • Anytime you dry your face with your towel make sure you pat your face dry. Especially around your eye area since it's a really sensitive area.
  • You should wash your face with your soap before you use any skin care products. I believe that with a clean face the products work better. At least for me it did. 
After a few months using these products my face has never felt better!! I'm so happy with the way my skin is feeling right now. I am definitely going to try other Clean & Clear products once I'm done with these.

Rose and Ben Beauty Brushes

 Hey guys!! I haven't done a beauty post in a while and I was in the mood to do one because I am very excited to talk about these! I started follow Rose on IG roseandben  thanks to my friend and I have been loving her content. You can see the passion she has for makeup. I love that she posts on IG stories almost everyday doing a tutorial or talking about her fav products.  I have actually purchased and few of her recommendations and 99% of the products I have bought have become staples in my collection.  When she announced she was coming out with a brand  Rose and Ben Beauty  I just knew it would be brushes because she would always be using prototypes in her tutorials. I trusted her judgment in products soooo I bought most of the collection.  Aren't these brushes beautiful?? When I first got the brushes I felt the bristles and they were so soft. The quality of the bristles and even the handles feels so luxurious. I love the color of the handles too. I only started following her

What Are AHA's??

 Hey guys!!! AHA's(Alpha Hydroxy Acids) is water-soluble, exfoliates dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, reveals healthy looking skin, and it is suitable for all skin types. It helps stimulate collagen, hydrates the skin, brightens the skin, helps lessen skin texture, helps with acne scars, signs of sun damage, and dark spots. There are different types of AHA's out there.  Glycolic Acid Glycolic acid is the most well known and is used in skin care and is also used by a professional in a chemical peel.  It is either used alone in a skincare product or combined with another AHA ingredients at concentrations of 5% and up. It helps to enhance skin's firmness and resilience while softening signs of sun damage.  The size of this acid allows it to penetrate the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal better looking skin. Also it hydrates the skin, and basically helps the skin retain the natural moisture. Glycolic acid can be derived from sugar cane, but they only use the

What are BHA's??

 Hey guys!!! The other day I spoke about AHA's and the different types of AHA's and now it is BHA's.  BHA's(Beta Hydroxy Acids) can get deeper into the pores to remove dead skin cells and excess sebum. It is oil-soluble so it allows it to penetrate deep into the pores and gently breaks up blockages that clogs your pores. That will help with lessening your acne and less visible pores. If you have blackheads, on your nose especially, it can help getting rid of them without damaging your skin like the Biore pore strips do. Also prevents new ones from forming. It could also help with Keratosis Pilaris(KP) in body washes or even body lotions/butters. BHA's are good for all skin types, but especially oily, acne prone skin. Salicylic Acid Salicylic Acid is the most well known out of all of them. It helps reduce acne by exfoliating the skin and keeping the pores clear. It helps with mild acne, blackheads and whiteheads, can help prevent future breakouts.  Tropic Acid, Tret
