Avon Clearskin Pore Penetrating Line

I was blessed to have clear skin for 23 years. While everyone was going through bad break outs in their teens, I was living a "pimple-free" life.

Once I turned 24, I started to get small break outs once a months. As odd as it seems when you get them when your older, it's embarrassing to get them.

Although it's less than a week long, you have no idea where the next one would turn up. I'm always looking for products to use during that time. I try to switch my skin care schedule around that week just so I can shorten the duration of the break out.

Two products that I have been trying is from Avon's clearskin line! When I was younger- I was obsessed with the line. I loved that blue scrub that they had.




Right now, I introduced their Clearskin® Pore Penetrating Invigorating Scrub  ($6.49 US) & Clearskin® Pore Penetrating Cooling Toner ($5.49 US) into my routine.


The scrub is really good. The perfect scrub to use when your face is a little sensitive. Formulated with Eucalyptus Extract & Witch Hazel to cleanse and refresh. Lifts away pore-clogging dirt and excess oil. I usually put it on and let it dry- like in the picture. Then take a little water to "reactivate it" then wash it off.

Then a take a cotton pad and apply the cooling toner. First starting on the problem areas then working my way around. I love this because it doesn't leave my face dry like other toners.

These are a definite a must have! 

Schick Hydro Silk disposable razor

We made it half way through Summer and it wasn't bad! I will admit, I haven't done everything I wanted to but I am trying to take a vacation in the Caribbean. That's a whole other post!

Right now, I am finding all my old dresses I packed away from last year ( I know I'm late) and getting the best use out of them. With that said, we all know that shaving your legs is a must. What do you guys think about disposable razors? I'll be honest- I usually avoid them! In my opinion, they lack style and control. Flashback to getting razor burns and getting bad nicks all over my legs.

I had the opportunity to try out the Schick Hydro Silk® disposable razors and was pleasantly surprised. At first I didn't even notice that it wasn't the "refillable" kind like the (Schick Hydro Silk razor) that I reviewed in the past. It's fashionable and comfortable. It has rubber grip- so I won't lose it in the tub. Plus I don't need to use shaving cream when I use it because of the water activated serum.

I have 15 Schick Hydro Silk® disposable razors to send out for test and review!

Hair Talk- Maintenance

Time for another hair post! The theme is "Maintenance". Summer is here and in my opinion it takes a bit more time to take care of your extensions. Pool parties, beaches, bbq and the overall sun can cause damage.

If my hair series is new to you.. I suggest you check out these past popular posts:

I'm not an expert so I decided to ask Constance from Bella Dream Hair some quick real life questions/scenarios on hair maintenance.

How do I get out tangles?
You can use a paddle brush or a boar brush to comb the hair.

Air dry or Blow dry?
I would recommend blowdrying the hair on a low setting, however air drying the hair is very important.

I dyed the hair now it's horribly dry. What now?
Co-washing the hair with a deep conditioner and leaving it in for at least 20 minutes can help replenish the hair after dying it.

How do I straighten the hair without damaging it?
You should always use heat protectant when apply any heat to your hair. TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray is a great one.

How do I preserve the hair once I take it out?
Storing the hair in a rectangular box with a lid will keep the hair clean and fresh. Be sure not to fold the hair or it will leave a bend in it.

I hope this helps!
