What the??? OMG where in the hell did this pimple come from..UH another one

Acne from the inside

Hey my Gorgeous Beauties.  I know you have seen my posts on skincare and do hope it  they have helped some of you. This post is from one of my followers who asked about acne. Acne seems to begin in adolescence and continues it seems throughout most of our lives. Most people I talk to on the regular never expect acne to follow them past their 20's but as of late I am speaking to people in their 30's, 40's and older about breakout concerns.  The pictures that I will post are not going to be pleasant because acne is not very pretty.

Severe case

Now, most of us do not suffer from acne this bad. Again acne has many sources: Hereditary, hormonal, stress, some humidity, sweating, over producing oily glands.

We have all seen the proactive commercials, Neutrogena skin ID, Murad and the like. I am not going to say that they do not work because I have known people who they have worked for. Everyone's skin needs are different.  The most common types are whiteheads and blackheads.

Whiteheads are the glands where the plug is white and black heads where the plug is black. (simple enough)

1st: Never squeeze them!!!!!!.
Squeezing has the potential to cause scarring and create more damage than heal.

2nd: Wash your face with a great cleanser.  Remember when  I did the blogs on what your skin type maybe will help dictate what kind of cleanser to use. 

3rd: Exfoliate. Now, I am not saying you should exfoliate everyday unless your skin can handle it. What is exfoliation does is take of all of the dead skin that is on your skin and giving it a fresh, renewed skin.

4th: Find a on the spot treatment for the whiteheads. Helps to heal them faster and allows you treat them directly.

Blackheads

Now as for blackheads, they may be a bit more difficult to heal them since they seem to be plugged and there is no way to clear them out.  There is a tool for removing blackheads.

Blackhead remover

 This remover will help take out blackheads. Some blackheads are easier to remove than others. Remember our bodies are naturally built to cleanse itself so use this tool sparingly. May I suggest before you use the blackhead remover, swab ends with a bit of alcohol.

Here are few products I recommend.. Clean and Clear, Cetaphil, Neutrogena 2 step treatment, Burts Bees spot treatment, Lush 's greased Lightning spot treatment & Ocean Salt .

These are products I have used and each have done me well. But I have had to adjust my skincare with the seasons so hence why there are so many listed. Hope this helps.

Are any of my lovelies "Fresh"?

Good Morning my BA Beauties. Today's POV is about one of my skincare cleansers. It is called the Soy Face Cleanser from Fresh.  I was introduced to Fresh by my sis and fellow BA Beauty. She has been using the Soy facial cleanser for 2 years. I started using the Soy Face cleanser for about 2 months and it is extremely gentle. What I love about the cleanser is how extremely gentle it is. The cleanser can be used on all skin types which is phenomenal.

50ml cost $15.00

What it looks like from the tube

The cleanser goes on the face very gentle and it does not lather very much. For those of you that want a cleanser to over lather, this will not be good for you. Now once you rinse your face, it will feel refreshed and your skin doesn't feel very dry.

30 ML costs $80.00

When I purchased my cleanser, I was given a sample of  the Black Tea Age Delay Serum as a follow up. My rep Jeff was kind enough to say, its not like you need the age delay but why not start preventative measures now.  I used the serum right after I pat dry my face and it felt amazing.


































I completely enjoy using the soy cleanser and the black tea serum. I rate the cleanser  for me 10/10. I am glad to have such a gentle yet effective cleanser.
My only grimace face about Fresh is their price point.
They are not cheap. In fact some items are very expensive and it may throw some of you of because of the sizes are not so large.

What I will say though is if you have the funds to spare, try the soy face cleanser. The size I purchased is only $15.00 so give it go.

If any of you beauties try it, please let know what your experience is and remember:
