Bye Bye Blackheads!

Bad hair days, having nothing to wear, dealing with your shopping addiction, better yet deal with mother nature….us women have enough problems to deal with, blackheads and blemishes should not be one of them.

I had very lucky teenage years. minus the crazy frizzy poodle hair that i have had to deal with my whole life, luckily i have learned to embrace it these days. But I have always been blessed with pretty healthy glowing soft skin. I have never had to deal with any acne or rosacea problems. I can not think of a time in my life that I have had more than more or two at the most pimples on my face. Thank you baby Jesus! But I am human, so I get tiny little baby black heads from time to time. No biggie, thanks to a at home skin mask that I have relied on for years.

I am a true believer that sharing is caring, so I want to share with all of you beauty ladies this amazing mask. Oh and did I mention that this little baby is CHEAP! It was love at first apply.

I purchase my Mint Julep Masque at my local Dollar General, however it is available at most drugstore and I have seen it at Walmart. If you want to purchase online click here. 

Quick & easy directions! thank god because Its nice when it doesn't feel like work!

Step 1: Warm washcloth in hot water, then pat onto face. (steam wash) feels amazing!! hello pores.

Step 2: complete your nightly skin routine, however do not apply any moisturizer.

Step 3: Apply a good amount all over face.

This mask with start out a green color and turn white over time as it dries.

The mask says to apply for 15 mintues then to wash off with wash cloth and warm water, I however sleep in the mask. I feel that it makes my skin extra soft and it seems to work better for me. ohh and it really turns cory on, kidding! He said i looked like a monster but that he loves me anyway. true love ladies, true love. Just keep in mind that everyones skin is different. Play around with the product, find what works best for your skin.

Goodnight.

Makeup Removers and their Mistakes..

 Who doesn't love makeup removers? Im one of… well lets be honest, every girl in the world that could not imagine my night time routine without these little life savers. BUT makeup removers are often the cause of women making one of the biggest skin care mistakes. How often do you grab your makeup remover wipe, wipe off your makeup very well and then call it quits? I myself, was guilty of this for years and years. Well if you do, then you probably notice that your skin is not as clear as you hope for. You may also notice blemishes more times then not.


This is because you are removing your makeup, but not actually cleansing your face. Your makeup might look like it is gone, but in reality it is still in your pores. Clogged pores = Zachary the zit. Am I the only one that is weird and names my zits? I just feel like when they are big enough to take up a whole zip code then they must have a name. Weird I know. 

So the next time your using a makeup remover of any sort, cleanse your face thoroughly afterwards with a mild face wash, I also recommend an exfoliator once to twice a week, and of course never skip face/eye cream!


Here is a few of my every night face care products:

and here are two items that I am hoping to be able to add to my skin care routine soon.
