I think I can confidently say that aloe Vera is a foolproof acne cure and I highly reccomend anyone try it! I keep aloe plants around the house and cut off little pieces to stick to my face. I leave these little green bits on my blemishes until the aloe seems to have soaked into my skin and the leaf is dryer. πThe plant works better than anything bottled in my opinion. I've been exfoliating very gently with baking soda and water to cleanse my skin as well. Aloe Vera is antibacterial, anti fungal and anti inflammatory. Amazing!<div><br></div><div>I'm headed up north for a few days of boating, swimming and tubing.

I recently rediscovered one of my favorite all-natural, home remedies for acne. Baking soda! I used to mix baking soda with coconut oil and had great results using the concoction as a do it yourself cleanser. Last night I exfoliated my face with baking soda and also added a little to my hot bath. I woke up with smooth, refreshed skin and the giant pimple on my chin is a little smaller. π<div><br></div><div>I am headed for a lake vacation up north next week and will be using baking soda and aloe (another favorite all natural ingredient) to clear my skin before the trip. I know these remedies will not fail me which is why I wanted to share with you! </div><div><br></div><div>For more skin care advice and tons of diy acne cures check out my website, diyacnecures.com. </div><div><br></div><div>Sunny wishes! </div><div><br></div><div>Emmy Jean πΊ</div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9QUsAXF2CDI4PB-Oa_-fMgiIeYtCEYsLDbPl90iWWW9w-T6WWtiUr1f6rmf9yNn_rb440x_i1EmykaVnYR2RT-5XU0Ja9tFHcaUlukAJZFpGUqItnEfLa89x1yadhvdN39sQF6L7v1Z4/s640/blogger-image--1299892173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn9QUsAXF2CDI4PB-Oa_-fMgiIeYtCEYsLDbPl90iWWW9w-T6WWtiUr1f6rmf9yNn_rb440x_i1EmykaVnYR2RT-5XU0Ja9tFHcaUlukAJZFpGUqItnEfLa89x1yadhvdN39sQF6L7v1Z4/s640/blogger-image--1299892173.jpg"></a></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04657490168824708033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006117079904201709.post-51826811756138146922014-06-11T13:14:00.003-07:002014-06-11T13:14:37.898-07:00Neutrogena Skin Clearing Makeup!<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

I wanted to do a quick post on a foundation I recently used and thought was worth sharing. Neutrogena Healthy Skin Makeup and skin Clearing Mineral Powder is a dynamic duo! The foundation is a smooth and easy-to-blend consistency. The powder gives nice coverage and claims to clear breakouts. I like this foudnation because it covers very well and stays put while looking natural- as long as I don't apply too much!<br />

<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A little over a year ago I had reached the end of my rope and couldn't hold on much longer. My confidence had dwindled to an all time low and I knew something had to change. I felt as if I couldn't be myself because I didn't feel like people saw the real me, I felt like I was wearing a mask of red bumps. I was contemplating the potentially dangerous prescription, <a href="http://www.drugs.com/accutane.html">Accutane</a>, and decided to do just a little more research. I quickly discovered websites like my own, with success stories swearing by <a href="http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/natural-medicine/home-remedies/home-remedies-a-z.htm">natural remedies</a>. I discovered what is really in those expensive cleansers and read about ancient medicinal recipes and modern day oils. Pretty soon I was in my kitchen whipping up DIY cleansers and testing countless <a href="https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1GGGE_enUS383&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=all+natural+masks&tbm=shop">all-natural masks</a>. I began to feel connected to the environment and liberated from the firm clutch of the cosmetic industry.</span></div>

Physical activity is crucial to human health. Working out can not only impact your metabolism, weight and mood; but can actually clear your blemishes and prevent new ones from forming! Doing cardio and building muscle will improve circulation and bloodflow to heal the skin, and sweating is a great release of toxins. Always remember to drink <strong>plenty of water </strong>to rehydrate yourself. The mopre water you drink, the better you will look and feel. Drinking more water will cause your body to let go of excess fluid retention and water weight and replenish your cells.<br />
<br />
<strong>Working out can be a hassle, but once you find the right activity for you it can become a passion!</strong> <strong>Here's How:</strong><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><em>Try Youtube!</em> There are countless fitness gurus who post great workout videos that are short and you can do anywhere! <a href="http://www.blogilates.com/workout-video-index/">http://www.blogilates.com/workout-video-index/</a> is one of the most incredible sources for quick workouts that you don't even realize you are doing! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Turn on your favorite up-beat music and <em>dance </em>like a maniac! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Check out your local parks or trails and go for a <em>hike</em>! </li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Shovel some snow, rake your lawn, swim, canoe, get outside and <em>enjoy some fresh air and fun</em>!</li>
</ul>

<h2>
Please everyone, STOP POPPING YOUR PIMPLES!</h2>
Picking at your face will cause scars, redness, broken vessels and more acne. trust me, It might be tempting to scoot up to the mirror and mess with your blemishes, but your face will be so much more prone to breakout and it can be very damaging to the skin. Most acne scars are from picking gone awry. Yes, sometimes it is just impossible to walk around with a big whitehead and your only option is to pop. There is a right way and a wrong way to pop a pimple if you must.<br />
<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong>Dermatologists will tell you the following:</strong><br />
<br />
<em>Clean your hands and the area. Don't use dirty hands, don't pop a pimple covered in makeup or oil. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Use hot water on a warm cloth to help open the pore.</em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Be gentle, and careful. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em><span style="color: #ea9999;">Pop only once.</span> This is the most important rule. each time you go back and pick at the same sore you are increasing the risk of scarring and making the healing time much longer. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<em>Apply a topical medicine or acne cream to the pimple. </em><br />
<em></em><br />
<strong><em>Then leave it alone! </em>Let your skin heal itself, and try not to touch your face. Keep it clean and drink plenty of water.</strong><br />

<small><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I'm always curious about makeup that claims to conceal AND heal, generally I don't believe the hype. This product wound up in my hands after a makeup trade with my little sister. it claims to heal; your acne with salycilic acid, while concealing the blemish. I love Bare Minerals and truely think they have the best mineral products on the market !I always get compliments on my skin when I wear the Original Bare Minerals Foundation. It gives your skin a super soft- focus look that is almost airbrushed. </span></small></div>

<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This product might help a little with the healing process, it doesn't do a great job of covering or feel very smooth on the skin. I never reach for the Blemish Therapy and find it drying. It made my skin flaky around the blemish as the day progressed and I would't repurchase. I'd stick with the original Bare Minerals because the formulas are more hydrating- I would go with the original concealer instead of this, or just let your skin breathe!</span></div>

<small><span style="font-size: small;">When maracuja oil popped up, I knew I had to try it! It doesn't cause breakouts and truely does hydrate the skin and create a gorgeous glow. There is a bit of a greasy residue left over, but I found using it right after I washed my face before bed worked best because it would absorb quickly. I would not reccomend wearing this product under makeup beacsue everything would start slippin and slidin'. This isn't going to cure every imperfection you have, but it will rejuvenate and plump the skin while moisturizing. I would reccomend this product for people with dry or combination skin, who are not extremely prone to break outs. I love how it makes my skin feel after a long day in the sun!</span></small></div>

This sneaky tool is straight out of the future! It uses heat and subtle vibrations to open pores, and a high- tech blue light to zap away and kill bacteria. It runs on AAA batteries and is set at a good price point. You just press it to the area you are tyring to target and wait for the light to stop. It feels warm with a slight vibration and is not painful. The tanda Zap is great at reducing swelling and redness. I am telling you- This little gadget really works!

I know a secret...</h3>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The secret is that the BB Cream from Garnier is flipping amazing! it has become my most-loved product and has healed my skin over time. This is the only foundation I have worn for the past two years. Although you may be used to caking on a heavy full-coverage foundation and concealer to cover your acne, with the right tools and technique this Beauty Balm will tranform your skin and actually look natural- that's the best part. </div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
</div>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
The very best way to apply this product is with a small stippling brush, I prefer the one from realtechniques. It works perfectly because it buffs the product into the skin but the dual fibers can be used to dab on extra over blemishes. It looks so natural and stays pretty well throughout the day on its own. If you use a primer under this BB cream and set with a powder it will last all day. Go easy with this stuff, a little goes a long way. I usually only use what is left on the cap after shaking the tube a little. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It gets better...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this stuff comes in 3 different formulas so it will work for ANYONE. Anti-aging, oil-free and the original skin renew. This product has no scent and has a primer built in! If you have dry skin the original formula is wonderful and the oil-free is pretty universal. I rarely use a powder to set this product because I love the dewy glow it gives. It contains SPF and skin-loving ingredients. </div>

The Downfall;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The "light" shade isn't very light and the "dark" shade isn't very dark. Despite the lacking color range, the product does buff out and blend with most skin tones.. its kind of magical! </div>

<b>Do you wash your face religiously and still break out? </b><br />
<b></b><br />
<b>Here are some tips I've gathered from dermatologi</b><b>sts and experience!</b><br />
<br />
<b>1. Choose a gentle cleanser that removes dirt and makeup. </b>The key here is finding a gentle cleanser that does not further irritate the skin further! The skin our face is so sensitive- treat it like a baby's butt. I find that using Gentle, natural cleanser or or one with no sulfates or parabens meaning it will not foam makes my skin balanced and naturally beautiful. Also using only my fingertips helps me to be gentle. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b>2. Gently exfoliate 3 times a week. </b>Exfoliation is the process of removing dull, and flaky skin from the surface to reveal fresh smooth skin beneath! Try to find a gentle exfoliant or make one at home using baking soda and water. I reccomend staying away from washcloths to scrub the skin because these can harbor bacteria and be too rough. (If you are set on a cloth, try the Norwex Antibac Cloths.) Always follow up exfoliation with drinking a tall glass of water and applying an oil free face moisturizer. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b>3. Begin with warm water, rinse with cold water. </b>It's as simple as this; warm water opens your pores to g<em>et</em> bacteria out, cold water will constrict them and make them tighter to <em>keep </em>bacteria out. <br />
<b></b><br />
<b>4. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel. </b>Again, <em>be gentle</em> when absorbing excess water and make sure your towel is clean and not contributing to acne. If your clean towels are still irritating, try a laundry detergent for sensitive skin or switch to paper towels. <br />
<br />

<h2>
Ever look in the mirror after a day at the beach to find your pimples have vanished and your skin is even <em>and</em> glowy?</h2>
<br />
The sun can work wonders for our skin, bodies,even mood! It gives us essential Vitamin D and can also dry up acne and create the illusion of more even toned skin. The sun can heal acne, but not cure it.<br />
<br />
<b>The problem with tanning to cure acne is that the results are not long term. Over time, over </b><b>exposure to sun will </b><b><i>damage</i></b><b> the skin and cause wrinkles, sunspots, dryness, even cancer. </b><br />
<strong></strong><br />
Slather on some <strong>SPF</strong> and don't forget to <span style="color: black;">reapply</span>! The sun in moderation is so good for us and may even clear up some pesky zits. Remember to use a suncreen on your face that is oil free or noncomedogenic meaning it will not clog pores. If ingredients in facial Sunblock is still causing breakouts, look for makeup with SPF included. If you are outside all day and plan to be sweating, you are better off without makeup on your skin because it can run and mix with sweat and oil. Most drugstore skincare lines have a sunblock made specially for the face, neck and chest.<br />
<br />
Stay away from tanning beds. The rays are more isolated and risk of burning is very high. The sanitation of sunbeds is also cause for concern and I have personally broken out on my back and shoulders from unclean beds. If you are going to lay in a bed, consider cutting down your time or using a bed with less rays. Always use a high quality lotion when indoor tanning and eye protection.<br />

Here's something to sip on before you have your next diet coke or cup o' joe: Your caffiene intake could be drying out your skin, increasing acne and deepening wrinkles! </h3>
<br />
Hydration is the <span style="color: #783f04;">KEY </span>to resiliant, healthy skin. Water is essential to flush toxins and promote cellular regrowth. This means that drinking more water can help clear acne and heal blemishes quickly and naturally <em>from the inside</em>. Too much caffiene can dry out your skin. Although Caffiene is a diuretic, too much coffee can cause your body to hold onto excess water because of dehydration causing inflammation and puffiness. <br />
<br />
A little caffiene never hurts, in fact, it can actually promote better circulation and increase your metabolism and energy. If you just can't kick the cup, increase your water intake as much as possible. A small cup of coffee light on cream and sugar or cup of green tea or earl grey is a great option to beat those morning blues... <em>and </em>continue to work toward a healthy glowing complexion.<br />

<li>Change your Pillowcase! Do this at LEAST once a week to keep bacteria from building up where you lay your face all night. </li>
<li>Use clean towels to dry your face. It is so easy to use your bath towel- yeah, the one with conditioner and heavily-scented body wash- all over your face. This can cause serious breakouts. If you have problems keeping your towels apart, try using paper towels to pat your face dry. Paper towels are definitely not the most forest-friendly, but sometimes when you have serious breakout due to bacteria it is a good option. </li>
<li>Fragrance Free Laundry Detergent can clear dry skin, body acne and face breakouts like crazy. Many times our harsh laundry detergents contain fragrance and heavy dyes that can irritate our skin and make acne much worse. </li>
<li>Clean your phone and headset. Swipe your phone and headphones down with alcohol and a cotton pad to disinfect and remove dirt and makeup that can collect throughout the day. </li>
<li>Make sure your hair product doesn't get on your skin. many people find hairspray and oils can break out their skin. be careful to keep hair products where they belong.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Aloe Vera is a succulent plant with rejuvenating properties. It has been used since ancient times to heal and protect the skin. It has natural antibacterial properties that clear the skin and provides healthy enzymes, minerals and amino acids. <br />
<br />
I have a few Aloe plants arount the house, theyre beautiful and cactus-like, plus it's great to have all natural fresh aloe vera for my face whenever I need. An Aloe Vera plant would be a great addition to any home, but aloe can be bought cheaply at any drugstore. Look for a clear gel, one thtat contains no dyes or fragrances, just 100% Aloe Vera.<br />

<br />
Turns out Winnie the Pooh wasn't a silly old bear after all. He's been right about everything; love, friendship, and most importantly, <strong><span style="color: #f1c232;">honey</span></strong>. The benefits of honey are endless and it is amazing for the skin. Honey is naturally anti-bacterial, hydrating and contains trace amounts of peroxide that can help lighten hyperpigmentation and acne scars! Here are a few recipes you can whip up at home to clear your skin and give it the wonderful benefits honey has to offer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Mask 1. Acne Clearing</strong><br />
Mix 1 Tsp Honey (raw is best, I would use local Honey) and 1/2 tsp cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Apply paste to face or just blemish areas and you will wake up to new skin and smaller pimples. <br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Mask 2.</strong> <strong>Acne Scar Clearing</strong><br />
Mix 1 tbsp honey with 1tbsp nutmeg and 1 tbsp lemon juice. Mix well. Add 1/2 tsp baking soda and apply to face. <br />
<br />
I found this easy skin reviving idea on Pinterest! I tried it and my skin felt silky-smooth afterwards, and my pores were definitely tighter and my skin looked more flawless.Great for a Summer day or to rejuvenate skin before a big day!<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Mask 3. Blackead Clearing</strong><br />

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #ea9999;">Evening primrose Oil is the supplement every woman should be taking!</span></h3>
<br />
This supplement is made from the seed of the Evening Primrose plant and can be found in most drugstores. It provides essential and healthy fatty acids, and is a known treatment for acne, excema, dry skin, PMS and psoriasis. The benefits of this oil seem to be endless, alledgedly treating a host of other issues like bone deterioration and even schizophrenia. <br />
<br />
I have noticed slight decrease in hormonal acne since taking Evening Primrose Oil, but I have only taken it internally. Some people find that breaking the gel capsule with a needle and using it as a topical treatment is beneficial. If you are someone who could benefit from essential fatty acids and think it could help your skin, give it a go! <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #e06666;">UPDATE: A few weeks ago I began breaking open the capsules and rubbing the oil on my clean face at night. The results are pretty amazing, It really does work as a topical treatment. I did not have any irritation and any blemishes healed faster and stayed moisturized.</span><br />
<br />
I came across a great blog with before and after pictures of acne clearing results from Evening Primrose Oil. <br />

<strong>Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser</strong> is the first step for many people to clearing acne. The non-foaming version is great for people with dry skin and the face by <em>antibacterial bar soap for face</em> by Cetaphil is ideal for people with oily skin or who do heavy physical activity. The bar soap is great for body acne on everyone. Cetaphil has been recommended by many dermatologists, (including a few of mine.) The cleansers are amazing. Although the idea of a non- foaming face wash may be unsettling, it really does get your face clean without disrupting breakouts and sensitivity.</div>

The <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">elf Zit Zapper</span></strong> is a seriously amazing treatment for spots. It is only <span style="color: #cc0000;">$1</span> and can be found at target or online.

<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <strong>Cera ve non-comedogenic Moisturizing Cream</strong></span> is a miracle for raw, dry skin. If you have tried every possible moisturizer and your skin is flaking off and will not stay hydrated, this cream is one amazing cure. It contains ceramides to restore the skin and is non-comedogenic meaning it wont clog pores. This cream should be used sparingly unless you have very irritated and flaky skin. I have found that it makes a great spot treatment on unhealed scabs and pimples, It heals them in a flash. </div>

<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">St. Ives Collgen- Elastin Moisturizer</span> </strong>is great for most skin types and helps to maintain healthy, young resilient skin with ingredients that encourage cell turnover. It doesn't clog pores, has a very light scent and works well under makeup. May not be ideal for someone with very oily skin, but can be watered down. It is very inexpensive and comes in a large tub. Dr. Oz is a big fan of this one.</div>

<strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">Neutrogena Active Naturals Spot Treatment</span></strong> is hands down incredible. It just does what it days it does. It heals acne and when used correctly really gets rid of pimples quickly. I dot it on pimples at bedtime to soak in overnight, or during the day before going out to reduce swelling. It smooths out bumps and isn't over drying. </div>

<span style="color: #b45f06;">Less Is More; How to Cure Your Acne</span></h2>
Hormones, excess oil production, bacteria along with a host of other things can cause imbalances and acne. It is easy to think that more washing, more medicines and topical creams, more picking and popping will keep your skin clearer and cure acne faster. It can be especially difficult to use less makeup when dealing with breakouts.<br />
<strong></strong><br />
<strong><em>To cure your acne for real, you have to focus on balancing your skin and detoxifying your body.</em> </strong><br />
<br />
I struggled for years with acne. Starting at 10, my face broke out horribly and I spent years washing, picking and using countless topical creams and chemicals on my skin, then packing on makeup to cover my blemishes. I have spent so much time, worry, energy and money on trying to fix my skin that I many times I forgot to have fun or focus on my good qualities. As I grew older and began to explore health and wellness, something happened. The second I shifted my focus from fighting each pimple to balancing my skin from the inside and outside, it began to clear. <br />
<br />
<em>Use Natural Products when possible.</em><br />
<br />
Health food stores, co-ops and Whole Foods sell great natural face washes that are free of harsh chemicals. You can find great skincare products in drugstores as well. Refrain from being swayed by fancy advertisements and flashy packaging. Look for products that are free of parabens, talc, dyes, mineral oil. Look for products that are non-comedogenic or oil-free meaning that they wont clog pores. <br />
<br />
<em>Citric acid, salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide</em> are great acne fighting ingredients. The last two tend to dry the skin and cause flaking for many people so use products minimally and apply creams and medicines in small amounts directly on the zit. <br />
<br />
<strong>Lastly, and most importantly I learned to drink more water...WAY more water. I immediately noticed my skin clearing. Incorporating healthy foods rich in antioxidants also fights those pesky pimples</strong>.<br />

<h3>
The truth is, being gentle is a major key to clear skin. The goal is to balance the skin to produce just enough oil, and keep bacteria off of your face. </h3>
<br />
Most times when people struggle with acne they are too harsh with their skin. So many times we are taught to think more equals better, and naturally it is easy to think that more scrubbing, more topical treatments and more washing will make the acne go away faster. <br />
<br />
Clearing away bacteria <em><span style="color: #b45f06;">g</span><span style="color: #b45f06;">ently</span> </em>from pores is the first step, the second is to find ways to balance the skin from the inside and out. Try to treat your skin like you did before you had acne, but remember to keep it clean. <br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: black;"></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: black;"><em>Apply moisturizer</em><em> </em>to face and neck. It is important to use a moisturizer that says oil-free or non- comedogenic on the label, and the moisturizer must be meant for your face. Moisturizer will help to hydrate the skin and heal acne and scabs from picking. It is easy to think that moisturizer would make skin oilier and cause more acne, but when using the right one your skin will become smooth, hydrated and balanced.

You can find great moisturizers for less than $10 at all drugstores. </span></span><br />

Letting skin breathe and keeping pores free will help your skin clear faster, so you'll need less makeup in the long run. </span></span><br />
