You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

Arianne Suggs December 8, 2016December 8, 2016Leave a Comment

Have you been using facial cleanser all wrong? As they say time is money, but the fact is that most of us do not take enough time to really get the most benefits out of their cleanser. Therefore, what is the right way to cleanse the face so that gorgeous, healthy skin may be had?

You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

It may come as some what of a surprise to learn that using facial cleanser comes with a bit of a time factor. It is more than a splash, soap up and splash again process. So then, how long should you be cleansing?

David E. Bank is a renown dermatologist who is based in Mount Kisco, New York. Bank reveals that it takes at least one minute for cleanser to do its thing and work. As a result, if you are spending less time than sixty seconds then you probably are not getting things as clean as they could be.

Therefore, the key to all of this is to simply slow down. Give your cleanser the time it needs to get in there and clean out all the gunk and dirt that could cause break outs and other skin issues. Furthermore, to make things easier try using your phone’s timer so that you can get a full 60 seconds under your belt before rinsing. Your skin will thank you for the time well spent!

Arianne Suggs December 6, 2016December 6, 2016Leave a Comment

Tis’ the season of Kleenex, cough drops and scratchy throats. No one likes being sick but sometimes you just can’t help it. Or can you? Believe it or not there is an Apple Cider Vinegar Fix That Fights Colds.

A CHOO!! Apple Cider Vinegar Fix That Fights Colds

Did you know that there are a number of things you can consume that helps send illness packing? Health experts say that there are at least 11 known natural cures with antibiotic properties that you may just have lying around in your kitchen. So then, what are these foods and why are they so effective?

We have complied a list of all 11 foods that can aid your body in its battle with various sicknesses like a cold. Here they are:

Apple Cider Vinegar
Onion
Raw Honey
Garlic
Habanero Peppers
Colloidal Silver
Ginger
Oregano Oil
Echinacea (Herb)
Turmeric
Horseradish Root

So that’s the list but why are these foods so helpful? When you are fighting an illness such as a cold your body’s first line of defense is your own immune system. The 11 foods listed above can actually boost your system so that any nasty bugs don’t stand a chance. While everyone and your ex gets a cold, all year long you can be one step ahead of the game. Insert round of applause!

Apple Cider Vinegar Fix That Fights Colds

This year we tested out the Apple Cider Vinegar theory and was pleasantly surprised. Since January of this year (it is now December) we have not had a single cold! We have to admit at first we were HIGHLY skeptical but now we are total believers. The body is amazing and the things we find right in nature are just as extraordinary in keeping us well.

To stay healthy all we did was drink a little Apple Cider Vinegar whenever we felt a little tickle in our throats or stuffiness. That throat tickle or scratchiness is a strong signal that sickness is on the way. Nevertheless, if you choose to try ACV never ever drink it straight! Dilute it with water so that the acidity does not cause any harm to your teeth.

1. Take a large glass and fill the bottom with a small amount of ACV (one teaspoon or two).

2. Dilute the Apple Cider Vinegar by filling the glass to the top with water.

3. Drink two or three glasses a day until all signs of an approaching cold disappear. Sometimes you will find that the very next day you are back to normal! Nonetheless, remember to try this remedy at the outset and when you first feel yourself getting sick.

Having a cold can be a real buzz kill. However, by taking advantage of what’s in your kitchen you can beat a cold and win!

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout

Arianne Suggs December 2, 2016December 2, 2016Leave a Comment

Amber Rose walks for a good cause, makes stylish sunnies and also collaborates with Flirt Cosmetics. One very busy lady! What is one of her newest beauty products that is a must-have? We recommend Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout.

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose

Want a pucker that will bring your crush to his knees? Prefer your lip color to be bold and vibrant? A huge fan of MUVA? If you answered yes to any of those questions then Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks is definitely for you.

According to Amber the gorgeous lip tints are a “weapon of mass seduction.” The first two shades are already out and available for purchases. Flirt will be rolling them out two at a time so soon there will be even more shades to love. So then, what are the first two stick colors? Amber has truly put her own touch on them. She revealed,

“Chicksticks from Flirt Cosmetics, featuring my two lip shades named after my pugs! Pauly is the cool, hot pink and Franky is the deep, vampy plum.”

Therefore, whether you are the girly-girl or video vixen, Pauly and Franky will give you one sexy pout. However, here is our one warning. BE FAST ABOUT PURCHASING. Flirt is a newer, smaller company who’s demand is really picking up! So when they sale out you will be waiting a bit for restocking.

For instance, once upon a time Flirt Cosmetics made an Eyelash staple gun. The gun really worked, turned gals into beauty queens and then it sold out quickly. The end. The gun will be back soon but moral of story is that great products like Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks will not last. So check it out along with other glam products by going here.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Arianne Suggs November 30, 2016November 30, 2016Leave a Comment

How can the perfect comfort food when surviving monthly cramps be so bad? Researchers for years have been trying to solve the mystery, does chocolate cause acne? Some can eat the yummy, delectable treat while others simply can not. Therefore, is there a way chocolate and skincare can actually come together in a positive way?

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Okay dolls here is the truth in a beauty nutshell. There is absolutely little to no evidence proving that chocolate causes breakouts. Alright, so what gives? Why do some people eat the coco and wind up as a pie face?

The thing is what has been proven through countless studies is that consuming a high-sugar/high-fat diet can lead to acne. This is because such a diet can increase sebum production thus promoting inflammatory responses within the body. Those responses is what leads to ugly breakouts.

Sebum is a greasy oil that is secreted from the sebaceous glands. We need sebum because it helps to lubricate as well as waterproof our hair and skin. Without sebum our skin and hair would lack moisture and dry out.

As you can see sebum can be good or disastrous. As mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Acne forms when too much sebum is produced. So then, you can begin to see why it is important not to do anything that may increase oil production. Besides watching our diet we would also want to avoid over washing our skin.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc – The Game Changer

So we have debunked the myth, does chocolate cause acne and now we are going to share some good news! The amazing scientists over at Cambridge have answered all of our chocolate prayers and developed Esthechoc. Esthechoc is a dark chocolate that comes packed with anti-aging benefits. Clinical trials of the chocolate have been very promising. One piece of Esthechoc was shown to reduce inflammation and promote firmer skin.

So then, they are telling us chocolate does not crack (wink, wink). Want some Esthechoc in your life? Get a 21 day supply of chocolate for $55 by going here.

Moreover, one of the best parts is that Moor Rich is a black owned company! Moor Rich is one of the brands that have been answering the call for more cosmetics to be made by us, for us. There are several shades of the line that are total stunners. For instance, there is a deep plum tint named Sheba as well as a rich brown color called Nefertiti.

However, it is the mesmerizing noire shade, Melanin, that has completely stolen our beauty hearts. Melanin does not disappoint and is easy to apply.

If you happen to experience dairy breakouts you may wonder does dairy cause acne in all girls? Acne can occur for a number of reasons and sometimes many ladies do not think of food as being the culprit. More logical reasons always seem to be cosmetics, lack of sleep or even stress. Therefore, what is so wrong with dairy products in the first place? Dairy is fine, but how everyone reacts to it is different.

Does Dairy Cause Acne in All Girls?

It can be tough to give up dairy in order to avoid breakouts. For that would mean no more ice cream, yogurt and cheese can almost sound like a death sentence. However, there are still plenty of other yummy foods that can be consumed that can make the food switch up worth it. One would have to think long and hard whether to continue to experience dairy acne or cut out dairy in exchange for smooth, gorgeous skin.

So then what causes this type of skin issue? Studies indicate that some milk-based products contain hormones from cows. These very cow hormones in some people stimulate the sebaceous glands. As a result, acne is created. Therefore to answer the question at the forefront of this post, no this reaction is not seen in all women. Most will not have to cut out dairy from their diet but it is a good thing to try if acne keeps occurring after indulging in milk-based products.
