Get Tough with Acne

claritymd-acne-solution-os

I don’t really have problems with acne, but I do know that pimples and blackheads are ugly business and tough on your skin. So, you have to get tough when you are fighting those pesky blemishes. ClarityMD Acne Solution Kit is tough enough to handle this job.

For those of you who have acne prone skin ClarityMD Acne Solution Kit comes with a Clear Skin Formula Deep Pore Cleanser, Clear Skin Formula Clarifying Serum and a Clarifying Konjac Sponge comes as a gift. The Konjac Sponge is 100% natural; it is great for removing dirt and makeup and makes washing your face so much more effective than using your hands or a wash cloth.

The Clear Skin Formula Deep Pore Cleanser is easy to use, just wet your face with warm water and apply a small amount of cleanser over your entire face, use the Konjace Clarity Sponge for 1-2 minutes then pat dry. Then clarify with the Clarifying Serum, simply smooth a small amount all over your face, especially on the acne areas and you are done. Finish your face routine as normal, by making sure you are washing your face twice a day (and I admit, I don’t and I have to get better at that) check out the website http://www.myclaritymd.com/products.html to get your ClarityMD Solution Kit and get tough with your acne.

MURAD skincare is “spot on”

I don’t want to jinx it but lately my skin has really been cooperating with me. Its been clear, smooth and the redness has gone down immensely. But still, every once in a while I still have that occasional little break out. With those pesky little ones, I don’t do my full acne clearing regimen. Instead I grab my MURAD Acne Spot Fast Fix. One little dab on the infected area and in one night it has gone down almost instantly.

MURAD Spot Treatment

MURAD Spot Treatment

MURAD was created by a Doctor to bring you the utmost in skincare to target your problem. After I cleanse at night, I put just one small dob on my finger (making sure my hands are clean), warm it up on my fingers and rub onto my acne spots. As I sleep, its like a little miracle is happening beneath the epidermis lol. In the morning the sore pimple spot gets smaller and hurts less. After about 2-3 nightly treatments my spots are gone for good.

Depending on the deepness of the pimple, how well your skin reacts to the product and how often you do these treatments will determine how fast they are treated. MURAD is very gentle, perfect for sensitive skin, and cost effective. So whether you have rosacea, acne, anti aging or just need a great skincare regimen try MURAD. For even more information on MURAD check out www.murad.com and check out your local ULTA to find how you can get your hands on some!

A second chance with Repêchage

A few weeks ago I shared my at home seaweed facial with all of you that I discovered through surfing the internet. I hope if you are giving it a try that you are loving it and relaxing with seaweed. Today I have a skincare line that I have been using for quite sometime and discovered at Premiere Orlando, that is made with the number one ingredient..SEAWEED!!! Thats right more seaweed. Repêchage skincare is your true “Beauty From the Sea” skincare line that not only helps with acne but can help with dry, anti aging, normal, sensitive and more. As well as all your body care needs.

Since 1980, Repêchage (which mean “a second chance”) has taken pride in using only the best seaweed and ingredients to help give you the best skin of your life. Trust me! Having a tremendous amount of acne and having struggled to find the perfect product my whole life, I am so happy to have found Repêchage to add to my skincare routine. The Hydra Medic line ( that I currently have been using) is a perfect amount of acne medication to help start clearing it up in the first use. After my first use of Repêchage, I could feel the tingly sensation that digs down deep giving the ultimate clean. The 4 Hydra Medic products I use are the foaming gel cleanser, astringent , serum and nightly drying lotion. They are all gentle enough to use on a daily bases.

Repêchage uses a variety of different seaweeds, all found off the Brittany Coast of France. Each bundle of seaweed serves its own purpose when it comes to the range of skin conditions (check out the differences here-http://www.repechage.com/shopcontent.asp?type=About+Seaweed). I guess you can say this is truly from “20,000 leagues under the sea”. After it has been gathered, it is processed the “Repêchage” way to give it the most nutrients. Repêchage also carries nutrient based mineral makeup of foundation, powders, concealers and lip gloss. Seriously with so much to choose from, Repêchage is a must try product for any skincare concern.

Beauty thats good enough to drink

Just in time for St. Patrick’s Day, it’s a beauty routine you can really drink to. Starting in ancient Egypt, women of upper class beer was used for many different beauty needs as well as therapeutic. It helped to reduce skin conditions and freshen the skin giving off a healthy, shining glow. Now here we are and scientists have discovered that the brewers yeast can help eliminate acne, slow down sebum production and the pH level in beer can help tighten the hair follicle. Brewer’s yeast contains ingredients such as vitamin B12, and biotin making it not only great for your outside but for your inside’s as well (just drink responsibly). As a matter of fact countries over seas have what are called ” Beer Spas” where you can go and take a leisurely dip in a giant tub of beer. I’d say “bring out some potato skins and pretzels please I’m gonna be here a while”. Unfortunately there are no reports of “Beer Spas” in the US…yet. Let’s keep our fingers crossed lol.

Beer

Beer

Having oily, acne prone skin and overly oily hair, beer has been one of my lifesavers. Through my research and testing, beer has really transformed my hair and skin. Even my nails. Having incorporated a DIY beer mask and a little beer rinse in my weekly routine, I feel like a million bucks and definitely enjoy the leftovers ;). I still do my current routine but I have found it to be essential to add Here is the DIY beer mask I use on myself:

Combine 1 tbsp. of your favorite beer with 1 tsp. plain yogurt, 1 tsp. olive oil, 1 egg white, 1 tsp. lemon extract and 1 tsp. almond extract.

Mix until all of the ingredients are incorporated. Lightly wet the face with warm water and apply the mask. Allow the mask to dry for 15 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Complete the experience with a cold water splash, and step back and admire your beer-kissed skin.

I enjoy this as a body mask as well. Makes body acne disappear!

Off With Those Heads!!!!

 

My whole life I have struggled with acne problems.  I have tried every known product on the market and nothing, I mean NOTHING, helped.  By the time I was 18 I gave up trying to get rid of my acne and tried to cover it up by wearing, what felt like, 50 lbs of foundation on my face.  That just made my acne worse and I ended up looking like pancake batter.  I just lost all confidence in the way I looked and even stopped wearing makeup all together.

That was until a few weeks ago when I was introduced to “Off With Those Heads” acne serum by B-Liv skin care that my fight to cure my acne had come to an end.  When I was asked to sample B-Liv face serum I didn’t even have to think, I just yelled out “YES”!

After the first week of use I noticed a difference on my skin.  I couldn’t believe it!!!! My skin was starting to glow and I have NEVER had glowing skin before.  Here I am 3 weeks later and my skin even made it through the worst time pf the month for acne, BLEMISH FREE! 🙂 I can put my makeup on with ease and not have to worry about trying to cover any nasty marks up and it looks like my makeup was airbrushed on. I swear I feel like a runway model now whose skin is just gorgeous and flawless.

I recommend “Off With Those Heads” B-Live face serum to anybody with acne, blackheads, whiteheads etc. It is a sure fire way to say “OFF WITH THOSE HEADS”!!!
