Quick Skin Care Tip

My Dearest Beauties,

I don't even remember where I heard that we should wash our faces using cleansers for a whole a minute or more. It is supposed to help the medicinal components of your cleanser break up and act better on your skin. I have crazy oily and problematic skin and I always get treatments from my dermatologist, I usually end up getting good results but she never pointed out that if I take an extra minute of cleansing I would see better results.

Anyway, I have started to do this a little over two weeks now. I can say that my face has not changed drastically (maybe because of the little amount of time) but during the day I feel like my face gets oily at a slower pace and that on those days that I wear makeup; I find that my makeup stays flawless for a longer time. Not only, does it stay put longer but this also, helps my pores appear tighter.

I am not a doctor and I am not even sure how this works but I can tell the difference (oily girls will understand). Try it! It only takes your typical face cleanser and a minute or two to spare.

The cleanser I use on my face day and night; for those of you that are curious is the La Roche Posay Effaclar Foaming Gel, which was recommended to me by my dermatologist.

Moisturizer for Oily Skin - Uriage Hyseac Restructurant

My Dearest Beauties,

During the colder months even the oiliest of skins get dry and flaky. Unfortunately, as oily people we cannot just throw on any face moisturizer because we risk looking like a disco ball, or worse, we risk having a sliding makeup party.

Thankfully I have stumbled upon a solution. I will not talk about this product much I will leave it for you to try it and judge how well it works! It is a soothing cream with a matte finish that doesn't feel like silicone, it actually gets absorbed really quickly and you are left with amazing skin, period!

I have been using this for a long time, on and off. I always go back to it because it works really well with my skin. Obviously, different skins need different types of products but I think this one is worth trying. Mind, I am not a dermatologist, I just like to share products that seem of really high quality and effectiveness.

Much love,

Samar
