The Secret to Clear Skin!

---

If your wondering why your skin is still flaky dry, has acne or you're just looking dull theres a few things you may not be doing right. The number one secret to clear skin is CONSISTENCY, if you’ve bought great products and they just didn’t work for you, ask yourself were truly consistent. A skin care regimen is essential, and making sure its repeated/consistent is vital. For example if your using a mask to detox your skin yet only using it twice a month it won’t be as effective if you use it two - three times per week. I know its a no brainer but you are what you eat so eating habits play a huge role, and drinking enough water will. have your skin on the next glow level. You also have to be mindful that having the same skincare regimen for a year isn’t recommend either because your skin will start to become use to those products which results in not working anymore. Try new things once in a while keep. it fresh and do. your research, knowing your skin type will give you a huge advantage for what will and won’t work for you. Remember everyones skin is different, we are all unique and special therefore what might work. for someone else may not work for you and vice versa.

SKINCARE FIRST - MAKEUP SECOND ♥

All Hail the Tree!

Don’t you just hate when you have a massive breakout? It’s one of those moments when you think you know yourself. Self: I can totally fix this problem; I’ll just do what I always do. Well, face says “ya thought” and all the tricks you had up your sleeve failed! After pregnancy let’s just say things weren’t working out for me and my solutions were a dead end but thank goodness for the profoundly strong-smelling TEA TREE OIL. The bomb TTO is an oil that kills bacteria and fungi which the smell can definitely reassure you it’s getting the job done. Now there’s a lot of claims of how TTO may not be safe to use or has little evidence to back up its effectiveness, I’m no doctor so please do your own research but, in my case, it’s always been a lifesaver. I was breaking out really bad a few days ago, like I said none of my remedies were working then I used TTO at night after cleansing my face and by the 3rdnight the breakout was nonexistent. I wet a cotton ball with water to dilute the potency add a few drops of oil then apply to my entire face avoiding the eye area and I’m done. I choose not to apply anything else because this product is incredibly strong, and I want it to work yet. When I do my morning wash, I make sure to tone and moisturize my face to prevent drying out my skin. We all know dry flaky skin is a drag! I don’t know about you guys but no matter summer nor winter I’m trying to stay glowy and dewy. Whether you’re having a huge breakout or just have a few pimps Id undeniably take a shot at using some tea tree oil. 

Can't live without ya!

There's always those products that are your signature empties, or go-to's because they just work. When your dedicated to this skincare life, you tend to formulate a bit of a addiction well at least I have. Over the past 5 years I've gone through many different products and brands, trying to decipher what made my skin perform its best. I have many products that I like, but the ones I've listed have never let me down. I know we all work hard for our coins so I think it's best I share my A+ products. Besides products a huge factor for flawless skin is making sure you are eating healthy, drinking water, exercising and sleeping. Everyone's skin is extremely different so just because these products have worked for me doesn't necessarily mean they'll work for you but since they seem to stand the test of time there definitely worth a shot.

1. Incorporate a face scrub into your routine once or twice a week

2. Then use a face mask to rejuvenate the skin (I always leave mine on at least 30 min)

3. Follow up with your toner, then moisturize with lotion

4. Your all set, love!
