Vaseline Face Mask

The last week has been nothing but amazing. We visited some friends, spent a couple nights there; and toured their city...and LOVED it!

(btw Chicago is freaking amazing!)

I got home, and I realized how dull my skin looked. It was horrible! After all the time I had fun, and having a blast, I completely forgot about cleansing and moisturizing my skin.

If you've had a similar problem, or you want to do this, just for the heck of it...then grab some..............................VASELINE!

There are TWO main things that Vaseline does that isn't found in many other expensive lotions/creams.

1) It keeps the entire world out.

When you wake up after putting vaseline on your face, you notice that their seems to be some dirt and things on your skin. The vaseline was kind of a "barrier" and kept that out....that would have otherwise just sink into your skin.

2) It moisturizes/heals at the source.

It moisturizes intensively.. I have super dry skin right under my eyes; and I always use Vaseline to keep it out. After using it for a couple of times regularly,....MUCH MUCH less dry skin! (close to none!)

So stop using those expensive creams to "moisturize" and just grab the nearest bottle of Vaseline and slather it on your face.... BUT...

but, be sure that Vaseline is not going to break you out. Try doing a "patch test", which means try putting Vaseline on a little part of your face, and see if it breaks you out. If it doesn't, then continue on.

If you have oily skin...this might be for you!

So yeah, try it out! I hope this helps you guys! have an amazing day!

Tell me how to combat dry skin...

I have had dry skin forever!

I have super sensitive skin as well :/

Do you?

If you said yes...then keep on reading.

If you said no, check out this DIY body scrub: http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/02/diy-body-scrub.html

Okay, so here are some things I use ... :

-Eucerin Plus Intensive Moisturizer

-Dove Beauty Bar (White)

-Jergens ultra healing lotion

-Pure and Gentle wipes

-Petroleum Jelly

-My DIY body scrub of olive oil & sugar, check it out: http://tsorain.blogspot.com/2011/02/diy-body-scrub.html

I use all these things here and there, but on a good pampered day, this is what I do:

-First, I try to cleanse well with the Dove Beauty Bar

-Then, take a good load of time to rub my whole skin with the DIY scrub

-I get out of the shower, and on my body, I slather on the Jergens Ultra Healing lotion

-On my face, the Eucerin

-Then I allow everything to soak in just a little bit, and then I apply petroleum jelly all over, to lock all that moisture, so my skin will stay soft for about 3 days!

But there is a NUMBER ONE secret to combating dry skin...:

Olive Oil.

Olive oil was used by the Ancient Romans and Greeks, and many more. They would use it has a cleanser, face mask, face moisturizer, hair mask, and even conditioner. Cleopatra used to bathe in olive oil 3 times a day to keep her skin supple and healthy.

Sometimes, instead of putting on Eucerin and Jergens, I just slather Extra Virgin olive oil all over my body. It leaves my skin amazingly smooth...for about 2 days! I also sometimes put in petroleum jelly to lock it in.

I used to use Pure Olive Oil, but then I realized that Extra Virgin olive oil has better properties and is better, so I started using that. So, try using Extra Virgin, because it is not refined, it's completely the TRUE pure. But if you can't, regular olive oil is fine also.

I hope this helps you guys!

Try experimenting with different things, but be careful also!

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

Winter is coming!

Oh Jolly!

Walmart already has all the candy and the perfume sets out. And we have about a month and a half. ! haha! But winter is coming! So is the humidity! And so will your skin!

Everyone should slightly change their skin care routine when winter rolls by. In winter, you'll have less moisture, more dry and cracked skin. How do we stop that? You prevent it. This is almost the perfect time to get started. It's starting to get windy, but before it starts to snow, get your skin prepared!

So, boy, do I have a suprise for you!

So, tell me.

Who's your BFF this WINTER?

WINTER. WINTER!!!

Lotion? that's important...but no.

Sunscreen? That's SUPER important...but no.

Cleansers? No.

Deo? Haha!

Perfume? Smelling good....but no.

Guess who just knocked?

VASELINE.

Vaseline is gonna be your BFF this WINTER, and it's always mine. Be sure, no matter what, to have a bottle of lotion and some Vaseline on your nightstand.

Get off the lip gloss ladies!

It's time for Vaseline to moisturize!

Here are some tips (and tricks!) how vaseline can help your winter skin be more clean and fresh:

-When you go to bed, dab some Vaseline on your lips. ....i think this is a no brainer. But trust me, your lips are gonna be soooo soft!

-FACIAL MOISTURIZER. Sometimes, after you clean your face, moisturize your face with Vaseline. Your skin will be soft and smooth and more moisturized then ever!

-all over body moisturizer. after you step out from your shower, smear vaseline all over you, so you get added moisture

So here comes Captain Vaseline to help you get smooth skin, BEFORE you start getting the rough skin :D

Also, another way you can stop dry skin is getting a HUMIDIFIER. Their amazing :-) Another good alternative, is if you wet some towels and just hang them on your door, chair, etc. It'll do the same thing ;)

Vaseline love.
