  • The Good, The Bad and The Ordinary

    The Bad

    Approaching skincare can seem intimidating and it truly is a trial and error process. This doesn’t mean we should shy away from learning about what may work best for us! As someone who has dealt with acne prone skin since 5th grade, I’m confident enough to share my journey. Including learning what works best for me and how I got there. It is good to keep in mind that there are many factors that contribute to having difficulties with our skin. This ranges anywhere from what we eat, air pollution, stress,  bacteria, using the wrong skin care products, hormones and more. My very first advice would be to consult with a healthcare professional such as a dermatologist if possible. I prolonged this decision but it was what eventually provided me with a safe and steady solution. Although not all products the dermatologist recommended worked, I eventually found what did.

    The Good

    In my skin care journey, my dermatologist and I determine that my skin was affected by hormones, stress and bacteria. Ideally, managing your daily tasks in an efficient manner may help reduce stress levels which can help prevent breakouts. Hormonal acne requires a different approach as it may be an internal issue requiring internal solutions. I fought my bacterial acne with over the counter benzoyl peroxide face wash. While benzoyl peroxide may not be best for sensitive skin types, it is great for addressing bacteria causing acne. I had also learned that oil-free skincare products are best for oily skin types. They help prevent excessive oil buildup within the skin.

    The Ordinary

    Along with washing my face, The Ordinary’s hyaluronic acid + br hydration serum and their moisturizing factors + beta glucan have been essential to keeping my face hydrated. The Ordinary carries a line of affordable skincare products. They make sure to include all skin types and I have found their products to be the most beneficial. This does not necessarily mean you also have to purchase their products but I highly recommend them. It is important to choose the product best suited for your skin type!

  • A Healthy Habit- The Influence of Drinking Water

    Water is life! Of course, this saying is heard by everyone, so. Water is an essential commodity that the human body needs to stay alive. However, most of us don’t drink enough of it. In our next blog post, we will talk about the various benefits of drinking more water and how it can become a healthy habit that changes your life.

    1. Hydration is Vital to Excellent Health

    Hydration is an important element of our health since our bodies are composed of about 60% water. Keeping well-hydrated enhances body functions, facilitates digestive processes, and ensures that the skin looks radiant. In fact, sufficient water consumption can aid in weight control with the feeling of being full and decreased chances of taking more food.

    2. Upgrade Your Energy Levels

    Are you drained and exhausted? It can become a crucial factor. Being properly hydrated can boost energy levels by making the body function more effectively. Therefore, instead of grabbing a sugary energy drink, try drinking some water to perk yourself up.

    3. Glowing Skin

    Want the Perfect, Dewy Glow Complexion? You can also benefit your skin if you drink more water. By taking in enough fluids, the toxins could come out from the body; therefore, the skin will be clearer and brighter. Hence, instead of expensive skincare products, pick a glass of water.
