The Choices to Clear Up Your Skin. Top Story - October 2018.
I have always struggled with a spot (sometimes dozens) here and there. There was a specific time in my life where my life felt broken, my skin was oily, I was breaking out plus a lot of drama arose. My confidence was low and I wanted to sort my skin out, I bought all the 'popular' and 'best' products on the market. Three different cleansers, two different face creams, some serum and so many face masks that to be honest, I did not even understand what they did. My skin got dry, and when I say dry I mean to the point at which my skin was peeling (I know, it's gross). For ages, I thought that this must be normal and it will probably get better. I saw all these online influencers and celebrities using the same products as me and their skin was glowing. How come it did not work for me? I kept persisting, I bought more products, slowly aggravating my skin more and more, in no way helping myself out. There came to a point where all my products ran out and so did my money. I stopped clogging my skin up with products.

Sensitive Skin Shaving Tips
I hate shaving more than I hate washing dishes (which is a lot). I get razor burn/ingrown hairs more often and more easily as I get older for some reason, which is frustrating. In other words, shaving is a nightmare! I get razor burn, ingrown hairs, and swollen lymph nodes... Everything horrible that could happen from shaving materializes on my body. Thank goodness I am well past the nicking-myself phase. If I cut myself every time I shaved I couldn't use some of my shaving solutions because it would burn! I have tried many things to prevent these things from happening, and I think I have finally figured out how to solve my shaving saga.

How I Am Curing My Breakouts & Dry Skin
Unfortunately I have been graced with skin that is as dry as a desert. It has always been that way. And along with that, my skin is prone to break-outs. A combination that is not preferable. Many "acne-prone skin" products are tailored towards that which is also oily. I have found that they are generally very drying for my already dry skin so I have been stuck finding the right products for both my skin issues. And on top of both these issues, my skin is scarred from previous breakouts, especially along each of my cheekbones and my chin.

Ultimate Skin Care Guide
For being the biggest organ the human body has, skin is so overlooked. Surprising considering there are aisles upon aisles of skin products in supermarkets everywhere. Yet most people skip over all of it, barely even washing their face at the end of the night. Crazy!
