Burt's Bee Skincare Haul + New My Skincare Regime

Right now my skin sucks. It goes to periods where it's clear for two weeks then a hot mess for the remaining two weeks. I really need to control this because everyone knows bad skin is definitely a confidence breaker :(

I started to breakout at 21. My teenage years were pimple free but I wish this was something I skipped altogether....


After a few weeks I decided to get the whole Burt's Bee Anti-Blemish Solution a try. The important ingredient is the Willow Bark Extract: This extract contains natural Beta Hydroxy Acids, which work as a natural skin exfoliants to help unplug follicles and pores.Salicylic Acid occurs naturally in the bark of the Black Willow tree (Salix nigra).


I start off my day by using the Purifying Daily Cleanser:

This cleanser is clinically proven to help wash away blemish causing bacteria, excess oil and impurities without over-drying or irritating skin.

This cleanser is very "watery" not thick but it lathers up nice.

Two to Three days a week I use the pore refining scrub.

This deep cleansing scrub is clinically proven to exfoliate dead skin cells while refining the appearance of pores without over-drying or irritating skin.

I use the Targeted Spot Treatment instead of the toner.

This natural spot treatment is clinically proven to help reduce and improve the appearance of blemishes without irritating skin.

Daily Moisturizing Lotion

This natural light weight lotion is clinically proven to protect against blemishes without irritating skin.







Hopefully, my skin will clear up soon after using this regime. I will be updating you all on my progress.

OOTD: Simple but Flashy Casual Wear

I had to come up with a random title that explained this outfit. I think Simple but Flashy Casual Wear will suffice...LOL

Breakdown:

Sweater H&M $7.00 (sale)

Rose Ring Ardene $3.33 (sale)

Jeans Marshalls $9.99

It's freezing outside! I think everyone's first priority is to stay warm but there's always fun ways to do it. Simple but flashy sweaters allow me to stand out and apart from boring sweaters.

Oh yea here is a close up of the jeans. I like the contrast of the yellow thread on dark denim.

I promise to post more OOTD. It's just difficult because I don't have a photographer.. just a tripod lol.
