My Current Skincare Routine

Image
My skin has been terrible, and when I get breakouts, they are scarring, painful cystic acne blowouts that I would get on my chin and on the sides of my nose. They generally occur with my monthly period, or just after. I am not one to pick them because when I did the scarring would be even worse. I was courageous enough to let my cystic acne take its course, but it made me never want to leave the house. If you have read my Adapalene post from a year ago, you will know that my first dermatologist prescribed me that one cream, gave me zero directions, and sent me on my way. Not surprising my face never cleared up. Instead, I still had acne, my skin got flaky, peely, dry, irritated, and just plain terrible. I really resent my first dermatologist for doing that to me.

#MasqueSundays: Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque

Image
A couple weeks ago, healthdesigns.com sent me a package with a bunch of awesome goodies, including, one of my all time favorites -- Queen Helene's Mint Julep Clay Masque. I am no stranger to the Mint Julep mask. It's one of my favorite drugstore masks!  (Actually, the Mint Julep Masque was the inspiration behind Masque Sundays. It's been my go-to mask for years!)I love to use it straight out of the shower when my face has been cleansed, and my pores are open. When I'm done, my pores feel less clogged, and skin is cool, brightened and smooth! The best part about the mask is that the 8oz. tube is less than $5!! The tube lasts me at least 10 treatments. It's available at many online retailers, including healthdesigns.com ,  which has it for only $3.51! Get $5 off with my promocode  "mshealthyface" So, that means it's free, and you can get other goodies, too!!!!  TIP Here's a great tip to make cleaning up after a snap! To make remov...
