Get Great Skin With Radha Beauty Cleanser Serum

Get Great Skin With Radha Beauty Cleanser Serum

Ever since I was a teenager I’ve had acne and once one had disappeared, another would reappear. Don’t you hate that? I can’t remember a day where had completely smooth skin. I also remember my younger siblings teasing me for having acne and guess what, they got it 10 times worse than I did. LOL goes to show that karma is real.

Anyways, I tried every product I could afford to make these pesky bumps go away. There was no getting rid of them since they were hormonal. Now that I am in my early 30s, I still get the occasional outbreak only they’ve turned into cystic acne which eventually turn into a scar. They’re annoying to say the least but I still think they’re caused by an over balance of estrogen. I had a couple in my early pregnancy, but so far have not had any since. *Knocks on wood*

I got a chance to try out Radha Beauty Cleanser Serum which contains vitamin c, Retinol, botanical hyaluronic acid, salicylic acid and Niacinamide. The ingredients that fight acne and heal your skin! I had a blemish from leaving my makeup on overnight. Yes, I know, that’s a no no, but I was sleep deprived and didn’t want to wake myself up after washing my face. Having a newborn makes you do crazy things! So I got a blemish and I applied this cleanser serum and it went away after a couple of days. I was shocked. Usually it takes almost a week for any kind of acne cream to work. And you’d think since it contains salicylic acid that it would burn, but it didn’t. It’s milky consistency absorbed into my skin leaving it feeling hydrated and clean.

I love this product because it’s all natural and doesn’t contain any harmful parabens, fillers, dyes or harmful fragrances. And it’s price of only $21.95 on Amazon is a steal for an all natural product.

Pamper Yourself With The New Caress Forever Collection

Pamper Yourself With The New Caress Forever Collection

Before our bathroom remodel that we just recently had done, I absolutely dreaded taking a shower or even a bath for that matter. Not because I didn’t care about my hygiene, but because the bathroom was not a relaxing place to wash away my woes. With my new bathroom and the New Caress Forever Collection, I am able to escape to a far away tropical and romantic place.

5 Ways To Speed Up Your Beauty Routine

 

You’ve done it again!  You’ve hit the snooze button once too often and now run the risk of being late to work.  Often times, women hit the floor running early in the morning, and are making that mad dash for work.  You hardly have time to get dressed and put on your make-up, let alone have breakfast.  Luckily, there are several easy beauty tips that can simplify your morning, and may even leave a little extra time for breakfast.

Problem:  Your multistep skin prep takes way too long.

Solution:  Be sure to cleanse your face, and quickly dot on a good moisturizer containing at least an SPF of 15.  Moisturizer helps rejuvenate the skin from the long night of sleep.  Save the toner and other facial care items until later that night.  Skin cleansing cloths are a great alternative to washing your face.  They work quickly to remove dirt and oil, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean in half of the time.

Problem:  Digging through your cosmetic brushes is a waste of time.

Solution:  You don’t need to use all of your cosmetic brushes when you’re in a hurry.  Simply apply your foundation with a wedge sponge.  Use your blush brush to dust on powder, blush, and bronzer.  Skip your lipstick brush and apply a thin layer of gloss.  Comb your eyebrows and your through with your brushes.  Try keeping your brushes organized in a bag for easy access.  You can also take them with you in the car for quick touch-ups at work.

Problem:  You’ve got too many products in your cosmetic bag.

Solution:  Many innovative facial products now combine separate products, making it simpler to apply.  Here are a few time saving cosmetic combination ideas:

  • Foundation + Sunscreen
  • Moisturizer + Sunscreen + Tint
  • Concealer + Wrinkle Smoother
  • Toothpaste + Whitener + Breath Freshener
  • Make sure that you go through your cosmetic bag regularly and get rid of old, unused cosmetics.  Keeping your bag clean and organized can help cut down on time spent rummaging around in your cosmetic bag.

Problem:  Your products seem to wear off too easily.

Solution:  Try applying a facial primer before using your foundation.  This will help your cosmetics adhere better to your skin.  A lip primer also works well to keep your lip color in place all day.  After washing and moisturizing your skin, allow you face to dry for a few minutes.  Use this time to brush your teeth or style your hair.  Then apply a thin coat of primer to your entire face, including your eyelids and lips.  Continue applying your cosmetic products as usual.  You’ll be amazed at how long your products will stay looking wonderful.

Problem:  You don’t have time to do your hair.

Solution:  Try using dry shampoo.  Once restricted to bed-ridden individuals, many reputable manufacturers have come out with their take on this simple product.  Not only does it make your hair smell good, but it adds body and volume as well.  Although stylists recommend avoiding daily use, dry shampoo is the perfect way to speed up your hair styling process.  Stick your hair in a cute bun, and you’re ready to face the day.

If you are running late to work, it doesn’t mean that you can’t look beautiful.  Use these simple tips to speed up your normal beauty routine, and you’ll be on your way in no time.
