Here is another tip for Tip Tuesdays…

Remember last week I told you about my tip for concealing your blemishes? Well, this week’s tip has to do with blemishes as well.  Instead of concealing, I’m going to tell you what I do to heal them faster.

If you are a mother you probably already have this product on hand…

I’m talking about diaper rash cream!

Zinc Oxide which is usually the main ingredient in diaper rash creams is great for spot treating acne breakouts as well.  What Zinc Oxide does to helps protect, dry, and soothe little irritated baby bums, it also does for acne breakouts. When I have a breakout, after following my usual nightly facial cleaning routine, I apply a small amount of Zinc Oxide cream to the effected area.

I prefer Boudreaux’s Butt Paste (in the red tube, not the yellow one), and not just because its name is super fun to say, but also because it has the highest percentage of Zinc Oxide in it.

Winter Is Killing My Skin!

Ladies!  I don’t know about you, but Winter Is Killing My Skin!

Super cute, right?! What we do for beauty!

Gone are the days of dealing with an oily face, hello red irritation and dry patches!  Hmmm, I’m not sure which of the two is worse…

I have been drinking a lot of water, using moisturizing masks.  I even tried applying a thicker moisturizer at night.  That was a no go!  It made my skin breakout like crazy!  Yes, I now have younger looking skin, but it is only younger looking because I look like a teenager with acne!  Talk about adding insult to injury right?!

Just another reason to hate the cold and snow of the winter.  This too shall pass…just not soon enough!

While, I don’t recommend clogging your pours by over moisturizing at night, I do recommend the Hada Labo Tokyo Ultimate Anti Aging Facial Mask.  They are sold at Target.  You get 4 in a pack for $14.99. (that comes to about $3.75 each.)  They recommend using the mask 1-3 times a week.  My skin does feel more moisturized after I use one of the masks.  Added bonus you look super cute while wearing it too 😉

I received the Lather Honey Moisture Mask with Propolis Extract in an ipsy bag. I love this mask and have been using it quite often since I got it last month. It is marketed specifically as relieving skin that is “stressed by nature’s harsh elements.” You can find it on Amazon for $22 for a 4 ounce tub. A little goes a long way, but is still very moisturizing. It has a delightful honey scent.
