Clear Skin Back to School Way

Hmm? Check the clock. We're already into August. And when does school start? August. So what does that mean? BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIOUS!!

Everyone wants to go back to school rocking their way in, and just looking great! And in the summer, because of the heat, more people also breakout, get acne...all that stuff that we desperately want to get rid of before school comes around. So here's what made the list to great skin care:

The List: (DA DA DAAA) :

-WATER WATER WATER!! Make sure you get your 8 glasses of water each day. It flushes out all the toxins and everything so your skin will glow more and look more healthier.

-If you have a breakout, the most important thing is to not mess with it. Just wash your face, and dry it with dabbing with the towel; not rubbing.

-If you wear makeup, be sure to wear mineral makeup. The makeup just sits on the surface rather than being absorbed and clog your pores.

-Try your best to sleep on your back. This way, your hair won't be messing with the breakout, adding more dirt and oil to it.

-And....exercise! Exercising will increase blood circulation to your face, which will give it a healthy look, and it's a bonus for your body overall.

My Summer Staples

This summer, I found some products that I couldn't live without. And another plus is that, their all great alternaitves for expensive stuff that I ditched a few weeks ago.

My #1 Babe that I couldn't live without: Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask

For me, it takes care of any blemishes and I know that if I ever get a breakout, this is my first option. And the mint leaves you with a wonderful feeling. I got mine at Sally's (:


Lip Gloss. No girl can live without it. I lived with the NARS Lip glosses forever, and I couldn't let them go....but they wear $24 each! So, I ditched that for......NYX Lip Gloss

This one is a great alternative. (PSSS!! psss! Guess what? This one is under $5!!!) <--- BEST PART! I cannot live without this baby!


Since our lips deserve a little attention too; take a bit of honey and baking soda. Mix them together and gently rub them in. This is gonna help to take dead skin cells out. Afterwards apply a lip balm. This will leave lips soooo soft! Also, for some time; try ditching the expensive lip glosses. Just turn to good ole Vaseline. Dab some on before you go to bed, and your lips will be feeling wonderful in the morning.


Also, I've heard Burt Bees works great. And Carmex is really good too!

And another thing! If you guys are planning to go back to school wearing skirts, then beautiful legs is a must! One little trick that I lovee to use is to use baby oil. For example, when I'm about to enter somewhere wearing a skirt, I want my legs to look toned and shiny. So make sure Baby Oil is in your purse! Just rub it into your legs, and your legs will look soo beautiful! Sometimes I use this to draw attention away from me belly (when I bloat and I'm on the "time of the month" hahahahah).



And YESSS I have to put up a picture of everything! haha(:

Well that's it for today, be sure to rock your way into a rocking school year!

Take Care
