Tips and Tricks to get ride of Blackheads

Blackheads occur when your pores become clogged with excess sebum (an oil created by the sebaceous glands that keeps skin supple) and dead skin cells. The difference between a black head and a white head is simply whether or not the pore is open or closed. If the pore is open, the plug of sebum/skin cells oxidizes as it is in contact with the oxygen in the air, which turns it black. Blackheads are not caused by dirt. Let’s make that clear from the beginning. Scrubbing your face obsessively is not a good way to get rid of your blackheads, and is only going to make it worse as you’ll just end up drying out your skin, which will cause more oil to be created to make up for everything you stripped away, and…well it’s a vicious cycle. For this reason, don’t use some of these remedies more than 2-3 times a week, such as the sugar scrub and pore strips. I know it can be hard to resist, but your skin will be better off this way.

  • Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips

 Clean and fortify your pores with these dynamic pore strips. These oil-free, unscented, and easy-to-use strips work by pulling out toxins and excess oil from deep within the layers of the skin to leave you with clear, youthful-looking skin. Because they are hypoallergenic and dermatologist-approved, they can be used on all skin types, including people with particularly sensitive skin.

 

  • Honey and Milk Pore Strips 

Milk and honey both have properties that are good for skin. Honey has antibacterial properties, and the lactic acid in milk is said to help keep skin soft and supple. The main purpose here though is, when mixed together, to act as an adhesive.

You will need…
-1 tablespoon of organic raw honey
-1 teaspoon of milk
-Clean strip of cotton
Directions
Mix 1 tablespoon of organic raw honey with 1 teaspoon of milk. Heat it for 5-10 seconds in the microwave, and then mix again to blend thoroughly. When it’s a comfortable temperature, apply a thin layer over blackheads, and then gently but firmly pat a strip of dry, clean, cotton onto it. Let dry (to play it safe, wait at least 20 minutes) and carefully peel the strip away. Rinse with cold water and moisturize as usual.

  • Cinnamon & Honey Strips

It sounds like a delicious candy, but cinnamon and honey make a wonderful combination for getting rid of blackheads. Again, the anti-bacterial agents in the honey can help keep away bacteria that are causing acne (not necessarily blackheads, but still a bonus) as well as act as the adhesive to pull out anything clogging your pores. Cinnamon improves circulation, and this increased blood flow gives your skin a smooth, healthy, glow.
You will need…
– 1 part cinnamon powder
-1 part organic, raw, honey
-Clean strips of cotton
Directions
Mix the honey and the cinnamon together until you have enough paste to cover the affected area. Apply in a thin layer over the blackheads and then press a strip of clean cotton over it. Let it sit for 3-5 minutes before removing and rinsing your face. Don’t forget to follow up with a moisturizer!

COTY AIRSPUN LOOSE FACE POWDER IN NATURALLY NEUTRAL

Image
HEY BEAUTIFULL, I hope winter is treating everyone well. So recently, I have gotten into the no-makeup makeup trend which is those days when I stick to my BB or CC cream, mascara, lip gloss, and a setting powder. Not many powders really conceal blemishes but I really wanted to find something that did give good coverage and at least minimized few blemishes. I wanted something budget friendly and while I was on the search, I found the Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder. This is quite a famous one with many beauty gurus and I thought I should give it a try. Read on to know how this powder fared!   SCENT It is heavily scented, which can be a downside for some. I actually really like the smell of it. At first, it does seem a little too potent, but within 15-20 seconds the scent does disappear. I own the original NATURALLY NEUTRAL version, but there is a Translucent Extra Coverage which obviously adds extra coverage onto your skin when set, and there are limited shades ava

Hello beautiful,  Today, I am reviewing a foundation from L’Oréal which was launched a couple of months back – L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte up to 24-Hr Foundation. Read on to find out how this fared on me.   Product Description: Achieve a matte finish that won’t fall flat with this air-light, long-wearing liquid formula. Lightweight and creamy, foundation goes on smooth with a semi-matte finish that lasts up to 24 hours—hiding imperfections for a smooth, clear complexion.   How To Use: To apply, use fingers or your favorite makeup brush. My Experience with L’Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte 24-Hr Foundation: Packaging:  The foundation comes in a flat plastic tube with a screw on cap. The tube feels really handy and is travel friendly. The tube has a see-through section to display the foundation’s color, but somehow, all the shades looked the same to me in the supermarket display lights(i bought it on ebay). And I really had to bank on my luck to pick my sha
