Fresh Face #NOFilter
I
decided to write a quick blog on facial skin care, because many people ask me
how I keep my face as clear as I do. I am very picky when it comes to my face,
and I freak out if someone randomly touches me in my face (dirty hands). Any
who, I decided to inform you guys on a few simple things that assists me with
keeping my skin as clear as possible if I can help it. Its usually quite hard to maintain my skin because sometimes I have:
*oily
skin
*dry
skin
*combination
of oil & dry patches throughout my skin
OR
*Sometimes
my skin peels like a snake (of course when the seasons change)
This is extremely aggravating due to the weather predicting the outcome of my facial skin.
I have to ensure that I do not use products
that will create more issues than needed. Okay, I use some simple home remedies
to assist me with optimal facial skin care. I also use a few store brought products
to complete my goal. These items are as
followed:
Mustard- I place a dab of mustard on my acne
for at least 15-20 minutes to dry the pimple out. Mustard contains natural salicylic
acid that shortens and eliminates the life cycle of a pimple.
Next
step……….
Baking Soda- I make a paste with a small amount
of baking soda and I let it stay on my face for at least 15-20 minutes. I
normally put it on there and get caught up with chores or miscellaneous things that it stays on for
about an hour. I rinse it off and apply my lotion to replenish the skin.
(My cousin who models would give me
facials with these household items when we would hang together. She was my
saving grace. It works wonders and she keeps a clear face!! See her pictures below)
Aveeno Clear
Complexion Foaming Wash -
I wash my face 2 xs daily (morning & night) with this product. It is quite expensive and the cheapest I find
it is $7.99 on a sale at Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy.
****This gentle foaming cleanser helps treat and prevent
blemishes and breakouts without overdrying. The ACTIVE NATURALS® moisture-rich soy formula helps
visibly improve skin tone and texture, for healthier-looking skin. Oil free,
hypoallergenic, noncomedogenic and gentle enough to use every day.
Aveeno Clear
Complexion Cleansing Bar-
I often use this bar if I do not want to spend that much on the wash. It works
great but I prefer a pump to use (just my preference).
****This cleansing bar contains moisture-rich soy and
effectively cleanses without overdrying. Our exclusive soy formula helps to
naturally even out skin tone and smooth texture. This soap-free, oil-free and
hypoallergenic formula works best for breakout-prone skin.
Ambi Complexion Cleansing
Bar- I use this
product about every other day to even out my skin tone due to blemishes that
may have been caused by an unruly pimple (that time of the month ladies). This
soap evens me out and makes my skin complexion smooth and glow. I use this in
addition to the Aveeno just because the aveeno prevents breakouts as well.
****It is enriched with proven cleansing agents to
effectively wash away surface impurities and makeup for soft, clean skin. It’s
rich, clean-rinsing lather also has light fresh scent.
Cetaphil- I use this due to it being a light
lotion and/or moisturizer for sensitive skin. It does not clog my pores and it
does not have me all shiny looking (I be
having frequent specs of that Haitian skin shine LOL).

I
would encourage you to try these remedies and products to see if it makes a
difference. Remember that the first representation of you is your skin.
Wouldn’t you want to look clean and flawless?? Embrace YOU Love YOU….BE FLY in
all that you do!! ~Flying Effortlessly
