My Aveeno Journey Begins

Today I officially begin my aveeno cleansing pads journey. Since the pads are quite big, and my face is quite small (I kid you not), I will be cutting each pad in half. This way I get more bang for my buck.

I will keep you posted as I undertake this Aveeno journey. After all, all those beauty awards it has garnered since it debuted should say something.

Grapes For the Face

This week I have noticed my skin to be more radiant. Chances are it was a combination of things... The yogurt facial mixture which I last posted about and also GRAPES. Yes, you read right, grapes.

I remember hearing one beauty expert recommend that we should apply grapes to face...just burst it open and rub face. Leave on for 15 minutes and then rinse. I wish I had photos to share, I did not even bother wearing making for the third day in a row. I am so excited.

I also purchased aveeno cleansing pads since I had heard so much about it. Will write a review soon.

As you depart, do not forget to drink plenty of water, Eat your fruits and veggies and apply grapes to face!

Green Tea Bag: Hidden beauty secret

I have listened time and time again to beauty editors speaking about products with green tea, so I decided to conduct my little experiment. For almost an entire month I drank 2 cups of green tea and upon sipping the tea, I would use the tea bag as a facial cleanser. Simply put, I would just rub the tea bag over my face and neck. Did I mention that I only used the teabags when they were somewhat hot... This opens up pores so I would normally rinse my skin with cold water to close the pores or take advantage of applying a clay masque to draw out impurities. Rest assured, your skin will thank you. Make sure you apply a moisturizer after since your skin could become dry. Buena Suerte!

Favorite mask for over 9 years: Quenn helene Mint Jupep. Love, love, love it!

My latest Natural Addiction

My latest Beauty addicition:

Orange peel: Dried and crushed
Plain yogurt
Few drops of lemon
Teaspoon of Honey
Pure Coconut Milk

Combine all to face for 15-20 minutes. Your skin will thank you. By the way, the scent of the concotion is heavenly. Try it and let me know what you think.

This mixture is great for getting rid of dark spots. Afterall, we all can do without those ugly acne scars and dark spots!

Get Rid of Dark spots

Lately I have embarked on a honey and lemon combination to fade dark spots. And from the look of things, I think it is a winning combination. The acne scars left from those damn zits are slowly fading. So excited. The only problem I am experiencing since using the honey and lemon combination is an extremely oily face. Someone suggested I substitute the honey with cucumber juice. Since I don't own a juicer, I will find a way to squeeze the living hell out of those cucumbers!

Before the year ends, I would have gotten rid of almost every acne scar provided I stick to my various regimens. Persistence is the key... I can do it!

How to get rid of dark spots

As we age, few of us are lucky enough to have that flawless skin, so we find ways to eliminate such a problem. Billions of dollars are spent on beauty products worldwide, both prescription and non-prescription.

As one who is battling acne scars, I have done it all. So many products have failed to deliver their claims. It gets frustrating at times, therefore I try my very best to limit my use of so many skin care products.

Getting rid of dark spots is a long and tedious task but totally worth it. In trying to keep expenses in check, given the slowing economy, I have done extensive research on natural products that helps to get rid of acne scars or dark spots.

The number one product that many swear by to get rid of dark spots is Vitamin E. I could attest to this one. Sometime last year, I got a burn from applying hydrogen peroxide on a zit. I had allowed the cotton to sit for about 6 minutes and was greeted with a dime sized burn. I went to CVS and purchased their store brand vitamin E oil. It retailed for under $5.00, and contained roughly 25,000 IU. Because the dark spot was fresh, I saw great results in a week. In under two months my dark scar was completely gone. How I wish I could just splash this oil on my face to go out. Since I never leave the house without SPF, it would be impossible to use any type of oil in the morning.

Next favorite combination is: Lemon and honey combined. Yes, you heard right. It is getting really late so I will post the others under a new heading later. Thanks for visiting. Ciao

Trader Joes Conditioner

At the time of writing, this is one of my favorite moisturzing hair conditioners. This conditioner from Trader Joes is all nautral and smells so citrusy. At first I was worried about the drying out factor but thankfully I never had to deal with it. For 2.99 it is my magic potion. Best thing about this conditioner: moisture filled so that one can use it on a daily basis. Love, love, love this Trader Joe's conditioner.

Will post a photo later!
