How to treat back-acne (sounds grosser than it actually is!)

Image
Hey guys! I don't know about you, but during winter, I start having these small pimples on my back . When I first saw it, I thought it was an allergic reaction of some sort. But it's not. During winter, we are more bundled up, which causes an accumulation of heat on our backs and there is not enough air for our backs to 'breathe' , so it forms these temporary small pimples. It can also be caused by shampoo or conditioner that wasn't all washed off !! I find it has the same reaction to when I wore a fringe/bangs and it was hot out! Nothing some sun can't fix!! But in the meantime, there's a faster solution!! A Body Scrub!! I'm not going to say which is best because it depends on how sensitive your skin is and how you prefer the beads to be... My personal favourite is the Sephora Smoothing Body Scrub in Orange Blossom - €3.

Best Lip Balm ever! (That I've found so far...)

Hey guys! I've always had really dry and flaky lips (how attractive I know), so I've always had to put loads of lip balm cause I hadn't found a strong enough lip balm to stay on my lips for hours. I've tried Vaseline but it slides off my lips and when I wake up, it's all over my chin... Anyone else experienced that? So yeah I don't like that at all!! I've tried many lip balms from The Body Shop but the only one I actually like is the fruity on in the pot. But you have to stick your finger in it, to get the products. Not the most practical. Plus, it doesn't really repair your lips My dad asked for a good lip balm at the farmacy and the ladies there (who are so nice!) told him about La Roche-Posay - Cica-plast Levres - €3.41 (random price right? Lol) And OMG... I've been using this very day for the past week now and my lips have never been this smooth befor e!! It's honestly soo good!! Pros It's in a Squeezy tube . So you don't have to...

What a Fail #1 - Clearasil Deep Pore Treatment Toner

Image
What a fail...  I've been using this toner for about 4 years now... It's great at clearing up your skin!! After using it in the morning and before going to bed, my skin feels clean and fresh!! I mainly use this toner on my t-zone (which is where I get oily skin and where my blackheads grow... Gross I know). But after a few weeks of using it HELL BREAKS LOOSE!!! My skin starts developing these red pimples around my nose, forehead and chin. So basically, wherever I use the toner, these red pimples appear...  And another problem is that they take forever to disappear!!! I've also noticed that I can't put the toner on top of any blemishes cause it seems like it worsens them... Plus it burns like hell!!!! So now, you're probably wondering why I've been using it for 4 years... Because it's so nice in the beginning... And I keep thinking "I'll just give it another chance!" And 4 years later, here we are. Should I let it go... *let it goooo* ;) If you ...
