Deep Clean Your Way to Clear Skin.

I picked myself up the clarisonic just a little while ago and I'm so glad I finally did. It's a great tool for oily/acne prone skin, to really deep clean your pores. Also on the other hand though I could see people with more dry skin loving this as well, to buff away any flakes, clear away dead skin cells, and allow their moisturizer to more effectively treat their dry skin. Personally I love this tool for night time use. I use this on my second cleanse to help fully clean off any makeup residue from the day. 

You want to find either a creamy type cleanser for dry skin, or a very foamy cleanser for oily skin to use with this product. Currently I am using Aveda's outer peace foaming cleanser which I got for my birthday, and the foam to this wash is PERFECT. I also loved using this with Eminence Organics Eucalyptus wash, I do feel the eucalyptus helped treat my blemishes a little better as well, you just need a tad more water to have this foam as easily. A friend of mine is using the Kiehl's Rare Earth Deep Pore Cleanser for her oily acne prone skin and it is working wonderfully, I will have to try it next.

Stick to once a day to avoid irritation, and NEVER SKIP using this after a night of drinking. On the plus, it is fun to use when you're a little tipsy. And you won't wake up with gross party skin the next morning. 

When you are using this tool do not apply pressure, just gently move the brush in circles around your face, and it actually has a timer to give you a heads up when to change areas on your face!

"A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it.”

Sophia Amoruso, founder of Nasty Gal clothing, ex OG hipster and the coolest chick ever. I'm so glad she decided to write this book. I find her story extremely fascinating. Mainly because she honestly didn't intend for any of this to happen. She started her company with no expectations and let it grow at its own pace. I had been waiting for something like this forever. It's the perfect inspirational book for young female entrepreneurs. Sophia gives it to you straight, while sharing some pretty funny stories. She is extremely relatable, and stayed true to her edgy roots, while giving great business and life advice. Thank you Sophia for writing the #GIRLBOSS bible.

Smokey.

What is better than a blown out smokey eye? Nothing. I put together this grungy look using Too Faced semi sweet palette with shades 'pudding' and 'liquorice' on the lips I have Sephoras liner 'candid candy' and of course Anastassia Beverly Hills brow wiz in ebony. I decided to class this look up with a braided updo just for fun. 

What Skin Type Are You?

What Is My Skin Type?

Thinking about investing in a new skin care routine? Not sure what products to look for? Overwhelmed by the product choices, not sure what your skin type even is? Have no fear. This is the easiest way to find out.

Step 1:

Cleanse your skin. Easy enough right?

Step 2:

Wait a bit. You will only need to wait about 30 minutes for the skin to return to normal.

Step 3:

Blot your skin, any blotting paper will work.

Step 4:

Observe and diagnose.

Oily Skin?
Your skin feels fine, though there is an oily residue on the blotting paper.

Dry Skin?
Your skin feels tight all over.

Combination skin?
Your T-zone shows oil on the tissue but the rest of your face feels tight and dry.

This is the most simple way to determine your skin type, for more information about each skin type and forming a complete skin care routine for your skin, visit my post about creating a customizable routine.
