Skin 101: Masks

• By candicess

Sundays are my days to reboot, relax, map out my goals for the week, and do a little pampering. One thing that I do for sure weekly is a face mask. They have many benefits and always take my skin from dull to smooth and glowing every time.

Some of the advantages of face masks include:

tightens the pores
removes dead skin cells
hydrates the skin
removes excess oil

I have oily skin that is sometimes prone to breakouts periodically so, face masks are a must-have for me. When I skip using masks for a few weeks, my face looks like oil slick city (super frustrating and really not the look I’m going for).

How to Make An Imperfect Smile Look Better In Photos

• By candicess

Ok, so I have gone back and forth about doing a post like this and decided to just go ahead and share my thoughts on this because someone could be dealing with the same thing.

It may seem like a vain and minor thing to be concerned about but, this is something that has bothered me for the past few years and it seems like it has progressively gotten worse in the past year.

My Holy Grail of Natural Summer Skin Care

• By candicess

Hey loves!

I hope you have been enjoying your summer so far. As much as we can I guess considering pandemics and such. *sigh*

I seriously thought I would be sitting beachside in Florida or somewhere by now but, such is life.

Despite a little disappointment and cabin fever, I am extremely grateful and excited about the new changes that have taken place in the past few months.

I did a complete career change and have acquired new clients; I feel grown up! LOL. More to come on this soon!

The name of the game this summer is: New Experiences. I have made it my mission to push fear aside and do new things in my life.

With all of this running around in this Georgia summer heat, I have been even more vigilant about my skincare. Forty is a few short years away and I’m trying to protect my skin from any premature aging as much as possible. Coming up a skincare regimen has always been a daunting task for me. Keeping my naturally oily skin healthy without looking like an oil slick has been difficult over the years. On top of that, this natural health journey will not allow me to put just anything on my skin.

With protests taking place, important elections, and a pandemic you might be tempted to think that beauty is the last thing you should be focused on, but I’m here to tell you that it is essential. Beauty products and regimens play a huge role in self-care; something we could all use during times that threaten to take so much and leave us on empty mentally, physically, and spiritually. It can be seriously draining.
