FACE TIME

I have always been concerned with face time. Even before the invention of skype, ovoo, and IPOD4 or in my case the EVO. I think it is important to take care of your skin. But it more important to take care of your face. Your face is the first thing people see. And unless of religious reasons or a planned bank robbery it usually goes uncovered. The face is a very sensitive part of the body. Trust me I know. I have combination skin. It seem as if my Tzone areas (Forehead, Nose, Chin, and Cheeks) are very oily. However my eyes, upper lip area (not sure of the medical name) and outer forehead is very dry. People have always complimented me on my skin. and I have always been obsessed with it. I wont even lie. There are tips and tricks. Trial and error. and a lot of money wasted when it comes to finding the perfect facial regimen. but like everything in life it just depends. on the weather, the genes, the time of the month etc. WELP , here is some suggestions for taking care of that pretty Lil face of your during the cold winter winds. Remember I am no dermatologist. So if some shit go down, you won't be able to sue me. and Thank God for that, cause times are hard.

Twice Daily Facial Wash:
Aveeno Clear Complexion
Inexpensive: Black Soap
No matter which facial wash you use let it sit on your face for about 10 to 20 seconds before washing it off. The Aveeno Clear Complexion has a lighter airy feeling then the Black Soap.

Nightly Toner:
Clinique Clarifying lotion #3
Inexpensive: Sea Breeze Active Deep Clean Refreshing Clean Astringent
Use the Toner only at night. It seem as if you may produce more oil during the night time. And A Toner can also be drying. But it is good for your tzone areas. If you have combination skin stay clear of the dry areas.

Clean and Clear Persa- Gel 10 Acne Medication:
If you are pregnant consult your physician prior to this usage. Also if you have very sensitive skin opt for one with a less dosage. I use 10% but you may buy a Benzol peroxide cream with 5% or lower. You may also get a prescription from your physician for this. I put it before shit go down. After washing my face (or after using the toner) I place this on my areas where I am more prone to break out.

Twice Daily (Or more depending) Moisturizer:
Clinique dramatically different moisturizing lotion
Inexpensive: Eucerin Original Moisturizing Lotion
You can moisturize as much as you like depending on the moisturizer. Clinique moisturizer is light and can be used through out the day. Eucerin is type heavy on the skin and you may only need a pea size amount. None of these products have SPF in them, however they leave your skin soft to the touch and with a Lil healthy glow.

Once a week: Facial Scrub/Mask
Burt Bees Deep Pore Scrub
Inexpensive: Clean and Clear Deep Action Cleaning Mask

A scrub or mask should not be used as often during the winter time. Once a week is great but you may be able to go a little longer. These items may lead to over drying. I suggest a scrub because it is lighter than a mask and leads to exfoliating of the skin; making it brighter in the ashy looking seasons. But for extremely oily skin go with the mask.



Clearasil mask, and a wine cooler
don't judge had a long week.
