⚫️ Bye Bye Blackheads ⚫️

/ evalynmichelle / 1 Comment

 Getting a professional facial every few weeks is 💯 the best way to prevent these pesky blackheads. Facials are pricey, but if you can make some room in your beauty budget they’re definitely worth it! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Boscia also makes some amazing strips which I use on my nose & chin area. The only thing I don’t like is peeling them off my nose it hurts a little bit 😫😩Ouch! And don’t ever put one on your husbands nose lol I did & he was not happy when it came time to remove 😂

Anyways below is my creation for getting rid of blackheads (non painful)

 I recommend doing this at least once a week (this will also work on whiteheads 👆🏽)

All you need is 1 tablespoon of baking soda & Rose Water.

Step 1

Dampen your face. 

Then mix the baking soda with rose water until you get a creamy consistency. With your fingers and start massaging it onto your skin with circular motions. Concentrate on the areas where you get most blackheads – the forehead, the nose, the chin, etc.

Rub for 30 seconds and rinse. Avoid leaving the baking soda on your skin for longer periods, that may irritate your skin.

Next time I need to add MAC cosmetics soft ochre paint pot underneath the eyeshadow to make it pop more. If you put this eyeshadow on bare skin you won’t get the full effect.

Multitasking

/ evalynmichelle / 1 Comment

Love being awake when my family is asleep. I get some nice relaxing me time to do facial masks!

And I’m usually doing a load of laundry while masks are on my face.

I don’t measure this when I mix it I just keep adding water until I get a nice smooth paste (not too thick). Okay & when this stuff dries on your skin you literally cannot even talk, smile etc. It’s so rad lol

I leave this mask on for like 30 minutes; my skin is red afterwards but it goes away by morning. IMG_2057 IMG_2056 IMG_2055 IMG_2053 IMG_2054I have combination skin & I use this once a month.

Nature’s Face Lift

Have you ever tried Aloe Vera gel?

It has 75 different nutrients including vitamins, minerals, enzymes which are all great for your skin. Sometimes I use this instead of lotion & it leaves my skin extremely moisturized & not greasy.  Of course using the raw plant would be better but since I don’t have this plant I’ll do the next best thing & use this gel. IMG_1592

Beauty Tip : Mix this with oatmeal & you have yourself an amazing exfoliator

Skincare Tip :

Microdermabrasion is a technique that removes the fine outer layer of skin to reveal a fresh young complexion & it also causes the skin to regenerate faster. This is going to help you achieve flawless healthy skin & get your skin glowing.

 

Wedding Season Has Begun

/ evalynmichelle / Leave a comment

Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna get married …..#ilovethatsong

Okay so this is your big day ! The day you’ve been waiting for since you were a little girl

This is what I tell all my brides when they ask me how they should prepare their skin for the BIG day 🙂

Unknown-2

6 months before your big day :

Moisturizer,sunblock, and 2 liters of water a day

Exfoliate and moisturize your entire body so your skin is camera ready

Start eating clean because you are what you eat

Be skin smart by starting a religious skincare routine and having a monthly facial until your wedding day

If you have any acne, get in touch with your dermatologist to consider possible treatment options

If you have mature or tired skin, try Microdermabrasion or a Jessner peel to help get your skin looking radiant & healthy

 

Unknown-1

3 months before the wedding:

Keep doing above steps

Splurge on that eye cream girl.

Get a massage

Start dry brushing your entire body

 

Unknown

1 Month Before Your Wedding

Resist the urge to start anything new when it comes to skin products

Cleanse, Hydrate, Moisturize, & Protect

You’re not going to see results from an anti-aging cream or cleansing routine in a month’s time anyway, so your best bet is sticking to what you know your skin can tolerate.

Don’t even try a new makeup remover or face wash, now is not the time to experiment.

Get a massage

Get a body scrub

Dry brush your body

Avoid alcohol as its very dehydrating & can undermine all the preparation you have done

Get at least 8 hours of sleep each night

 

Unknown-3

 

One week before

Have your last facial at least one week before your wedding day

Make sure it is the same facial that you’ve had before, to avoid any nasty skin reactions

Cleanse, hydrate, & protect your skin

Get another body scrub

Sleep

 

 

 

My new zit zapper 

/ evalynmichelle / 1 Comment

Used this on a pimple last weekend, and I think I used too much.  It really dried out my pimple but it also made that area super dry 😫 Next time I won’t put as much as I did. Overall I was happy with the results 😀Murad

#DoctorBabor Collagen Booster Therapy Facial at the Aqua Star Babor Beauty Spa at #TheBeverlyHilton Using ultra-potent #hyaluronicacid & #collagen to plump the skin & smooth out lines & #wrinkles. First I apply a collagen sheet mask to the skin then a I sculpt the face with a plaster mask to enhance the effects of the treatment. This lifts, reshapes the facial contours & creates an occlusion effect on the skin which speeds up absorption of the active ingredients. #bblogger #skincare #Babor #myfavorite #beautycare #esthetician #skincarejunkie #instabeauty #baborspa
