I've Won The Battle With Acne!

By
I'm such a goal-oriented person that once I set my heart on achieving something, I go all out to get that and this battle with acne is one fight I'm not going to lose.

The latest issue is the acne breakouts on the right cheek whilst the left cheek is fresh Lol. Why? I'm suspecting it's because I sleep on the right side. In any case, the line of action was to figure out how to stop new breakout and that's when I discovered something else.

My face felt oily within hours of bathing and even when I use oil free moisturizers! Can you imagine that? So, I realized I had to wash my face twice a day to remove those oils.

Additionally, I realized I broke out each time I use the Avon anew retexturizing peel, perhaps because I had pimples  on my skin, I was just aggravating the skin. With 10%glycolic acid, my skin might be suffering from the harshness of the product.  That's just my theory so I now use it on my pimple free part of the face and guess what? My skin responses very well to it! 

As soon as I got consistent again, within 48 hours, my skin improved. 
The Facial Routine 

This is what I've been using :


  1. Wash face

  2.  Use facial scrub

  3.  Use toothbrush to gently to scrub - I've upgraded from a bit hard to gently  to avoid being rough with the skin.

  4.  Use another  scrub (if I wash my hair) rinse off

  5. Use exfoliating toner, allow to dry and apply the  clear and smooth acne pimple medication and allow to dry and then oil free moisturizer. 



Once in awhile,  I'll use a facial peel or clay mask either in the morning or evening. 

Evening

Wash face with facial wash and apply aloe vera gel. By shower, I apply the wash again and scrub. I follow with the toner and acne pimple medication and fade serum. (check my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/EmprezzAbena  for all these products. 

As I mentioned,  just 48 hours of this routine reduced the bumps on my face. This picture was taken on the 10th.

Now 







Haul

I got forever Clair exfoliating toner and maxitone fade serum for the night. I apply the serum more on  the cheeks as that's where I have the  darkening due to the pimples. 

I'm using the fade serum in the night because you are not to be in the sun with it. I saw forever skin tone too and will pick it up anytime I go to the mall again! 

The next thing is to prevent recurrence of the acne aka pimple.

How To Use Chebe Powder and Oil On Relaxed Hair

By
Image
In case you have relaxed hair and wondering if you can use chebe powder the answer is a yes.




All you need is to be able to plait your hair or twist up. You can also use cornrows.
To prepare the chebe mixture, add a few tablespoon full to a creamy product. I usually recommend your moisturizer or butter for a good hold.

Shampoo and condition your hair well and apply the chebe mixture. Plait up the hair and leave it for at least 7 days before reapplying the chebe mixture.

When you are ready to wash out, which could be in a month or whenever you want, just shampoo the hair and condition as usual.

You can use the mixture again for another couple of weeks.

In case you need chebe powder or chebe oil, call or whatsapp 0541458372.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

By
I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride.
I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own.

When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface.
One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and clea…
