It is Never okay to sleep in your makeup

Ever felt so tired after a night out on the town or a long day at work that you don’t even want to remove your makeup? Yes, we’ve all been there; however, we must always ensure that we remove our makeup at all times. This is essential for healthy glowing skin.

I am an advocate for good skin care, it is just too important.  Sleeping in your makeup is a no go.  This will cause all the day’s dirt, oil, bacteria and free radicals to build up under the surface of the skin and cause numerous skin problems.  What I usually do is keep a pack of makeup wipes near my bed side and in my bathroom. That way, after a long night I can easily reach for them to remove the excess makeup from my skin.  I still recommend cleansing the skin properly to avoid clogged pores which could lead to break outs.

I always encourage my clients to invest in some good makeup wipes.  Just one simple step as using a makeup wipe to remove excess makeup is better than not removing your makeup at all.  My all-time favourite is the Neutrogena cleansing towelettes; more recently I’ve been loving the Simple makeup wipes which is also great for sensitive skin.

So my lovelies, if you want beautiful skin you have to take care of your canvas and be vigilant with your skin care….All the products mentioned can be found at your beauty hub…Fontana Pharmacy.

Until next time, stay gorgeous…

Everyone wants clear beautiful skin; the perfect canvas.

For the past few months I’ve been battling breakouts.  Breakouts are a pain; be it hormonal or stress related.  No one wants to deal with it.

How did I deal with my breakouts? First, I started to work on my skin internally. I increased my water intake, cliché but water definitely helps with clearing up the skin.   I decided to try vitamins.  I started taking Hair, Skin and Nails along with Vitamin E and Cod Liver oil supplements. Ladies, my skin has never been brighter and more ‘glowy’.  Now, as is customary, it is important that you consult your doctor before taking any vitamin or supplements.

Second, I decided that I would try more natural products to apply topically.  Irie Rock’s skin care line is a life saver.  The Tea Tree and Witch Hazel deep pore cleanser and Rejuvenating Facial Scrub changed my skin completely.  The deep pore cleanser is excellent for steaming the face.  It pulls out all the impurities from under the skin and unclogs pores. After steaming the face, I usually go in with the rejuvenating scrub which contains very fine witch hazel granules. This sloths away all the dead skin and white heads from your skin’s surface. Another plus, is that Irie Rock products are all natural AND   brand Jamaica.

For your traditional brands I would recommend Neutrogena Stress Control facial wash and the Neutrogena oil-free acne wash.  Both contain salicylic acid which is great for treating breakouts.

So, there you have it, treating with breakouts we must address the problem from within, trust me, it helps.
