Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically? That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically. I came across Manomai when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys. Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines: pareben-free, mineral oil-free, fragrance free, cruelty-free, and artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match ea...
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’ -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive, burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work?

Hi!! Please accept my apologies for the lack of posts. I am in the middle of studying for the California July Bar, and have been hitting the books hard. However, I did want to take some time to talk about my skincare progress since my last post . My topical skincare regimen has not changed. I apply Onexton religiously EVERY morning to my t-zone. Additionally, I apply Ziana every other night to my entire face. I also make sure to apply my Elta MD Clear UV SPF 46 every morning. The oral antibiotics did not work out for me. I guess my body is quite sensitive to antibiotics because my stomach did not take well to any of the three different ones my dermatologist attempted to put me on. Despite my body not agreeing with antibiotics, I am super pleased to announce that I have been acne-free for the past three months. Even during my monthly visit, I have not had any hormonal breakouts. This is the first time in my life where I have not broken out. It feels so amazing. I still...
