Summer Skin Care

Summer is all about the hot, hot weather...and humid temperatures. So here are some quick little tips to go in harmony with your skin this summer. Yeah, that made no sense at all...but let's just do it!

-Try a Tinted Moisturizer

Tired of your foundation smearing off? Well try a tinted moisturizer! Keeps you covered, and makes much better friends with humid climates.

-Be sure to change your foundation tones.

Everyone's skin tone gets a little bit darker in the summer, so your foundation should too!

-Get a good primer

The primer will help your hard work of doing your makeup stay a bit longer(:

-Stay Hydrated

Drink tons and tons of water! If your tired of the plain old taste of water, try adding some cucumber or lemon to spice it up a bit ;)

-Cool Down with some Aloe Vera

Put "Aloe Vera Gel" on your shopping list. Aloe Vera is a great natural cool down for your skin. It's great for any redness, or just simply soothing down the skin.

-Go easy on your moisturizer (face)

It's summer, and humid is in the air. Going easy on your moisturizer will save you an excess oily face (along with all the sweating!).

-Sunscreen

Even if it's a cloudy day, be sure to always wear sunscreen! And even if your in the car driving, wear your sunscreen!

-Exfoliate your skin

As your hitting the beach, having fun; your skin gets a bit more dull. So be sure to exfoliate your skin once every week to rough off any dead skin cells, and revealing glowing, radiant skin.

-Pick a body moisturizer that you love the smell of

Pick a lotion that you actually will remember to apply. Pick a summerrryyy one(:

-Have a healthy diet

A healthy diet can seriously do wonders for great skin. It's summer, so be sure to stock up on your favorite fruits!

And last but not least...

Just have fun!

Go throw waterballoons at each other, play a new instrument, go to the park, go swimming, tell someone "i love you.", dance like crazy, smile, try new things, go sky diving, go on a roller coaster, go eat some ice cream, go watch the History Channel, visit a museum, watch a movie, climb a mountain, explore new places, try mushroom and onion pizza, laugh...and ENJOY LIFE(:

Here's another amazing facial cleanser! Andd Backk!

Hi guys!

So long time no blog?

Well guys. School's started, tests are cramming in.

Back to.

Anywyas. Sorry *anwaysy*

NO!

It's ANYWAYS

So put your hand up if you HAVE SENSITIVE SKIN. YOU HAVE ACNE, BLEMISHES, BREAKOUTS...And all that crazy stuff.

So if you DID put your hand up, boy do I have some news for you!

And if you DIDN'T, Well Go ahead and listen to H*Wood, Could it Be You. It's an amazinggg song!

Allright, so I have used the following brands:

-St. Ives

-Olay

-Neutrogena

-Clean And Clear

And guess what?

I'm so sick! Of just throwing my money for things that don't even work! (Well, for me anyways!)

So, I got a little bit of acne, blemishes and all that crazy stuff, and I need REPAIR DOCTOR to get in the house!

And guess who it is?

Eucerin.

That stuff is like my Repair Doctor. It'll fix ANYTHING! (well to me)

And NOOO! I'm telling you about Eucerin, so simply because I LOVE it! No other reason why.

So, the moisturizer I use right now, is, PLUS INTENSIVE REPAIR ENRICHED LOTION By Eucerin. It's Fragrance Free, so it probably won't irritate skin or clog pores. And it keeps moisturizing for 24 DANG HOURS! And trust me, it ain't go grease! It's smooth and lovable.

The drawback?

It leaves your skin looking really oily. But you can put some pressed powder or talcum powder to make it looking normal. And in the nighttime, just leave it on like that.

So, now! For the FACIAL CLEANSER! (It's homemade)

This is what you'll need:

-Flour

-Milk (optional)

-PLAIN yogurt

-a pinch of turmeric (optional)

-lemon juice

-1 or 2 grapes

First, WHY did I choose these ingredients!?!

Flour: This babe exfloiates GOOD.

Milk: Milk has laeatic acid and AHA, which are REALLY good for your skin. It leaves your skin really refreshed too!

PLAIN yogurt: Just like the milk, it has leatic acid and AHA in them. AHA are the babes that take away those dead skin cells faster so it reveals the radiant new skin cells beneath. Be sure to use PLAIN (all natural) yogurt....but I seriously have NO IDEA what will happen if you use some kind of flavor.

A pinch of turmeric: Turmeric is amazingg! It has antixodiants, and it leaves your skin with a tingly glow!

Lemon Juice: Lemon Juice has AHA and BHA which are the ones that exfloiate to get those dead skin cells out faster (thus revealing glowing skin)

1 or 2 grapes: HAHAH! This one is funny! Well guys, truth be told, GRAPES are GOOD for your SKIN. Their good for you and so what I did was just split open a grape and sprinkle the juice in them. You don't need to much. And you know what they say? For a good scrub, just split some grapes, message them on your face, and it gives you healthy skin. Though...I've never tried that....

So this is my facial cleanser now! So you wanna mix these ingredients LIKE THIS!:

-pour some flour in a container (which is gonna be your cleanser)

-now the plain yogurt

-pour some milk into it

-add the pinch of turmeric

-sprinkle the lemon juice

-and for fun? Why not? add in the grape JUICE. Throw away (OR EAT!) the peels.

And the container that you mixed it in, you can refrigerate it or not. Mine's is right by the sink...

And now what?

-Splash some warm water (NOT HOT) to your face.

-Then take the mix into your fingers in round circles.

-When you think you're done, splash some WARM water to rinse it ALL off. And take a bit of cool water and splash it.

-Now when you're drying off, it doesn't necessarily mean your face is completely dry. Dry to the point where it's still moist but not completely wet or not completely dry.

-Now smear on the moisturizer.

-If it's day time, then you MUST smear on the sunscreen. Did you now that sunscreen is probably your best bet for anti-aging!? YEAH. A friend told me that :D And I'm pretty sure it's true. That's probably why all the dermatologists are telling you to slather on the sunscreen. ALWAYS USE SUNSCREEN. Doesn't matter if it's rainy, cloudy or snowing. DO IT! And if your on for a long drive, and your like "Oh I'll be in the car. No need for the sunscreen." YOU'RE WRONGG! (HA HA HA look at me shouting at you to use sunscreen)

But yeah, the UV rays sneak in through those windows too!

Bottom Line: Use sunscreen no matter what

And WALA your done!

Me a teen! But I don't use makeup. Well, except lip balm? But personally, I think that even if you do or don't use makeup, it's important to keep your skin healthy!

I think that homemade natural ingredients are the best for your skin, and use a supple moisturizer and sunscreen. Steam your face once a week (or twice) and don't forget to exfoliate also one or twice a week. It keeps your skin PURRTTY!(:

And don't just stop at the chin! Use this routine on your neck too! Your neck is a gorgeous extension to your face :D

I hope you guys try this and tell me what your results are!
