How I Use Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Toner

Neutrogena is a popular brand and I've jumped on the bandwagon too by trying the

Acne Stress control.

I love the Cosrx BHA power liquid toner and it will always be my favorite but I want to give other products a chance. 

I've been breaking out for almost a week now and because I haven't used any chemical exfoliating products, I decided to use this chance to test the toner. After washing the face, I poured out the toner on cotton pad and swept my face with it. I allowed about 45 minutes before using Life Flo Rosehip oil.

I loved the dryness I had on the face when I was applying the oil as that meant the skin had absorbed the toner. 

The Acne Stress Control toner has fragrance and that's the one thing I don't fancy in toners. 

I've had a lot of pregnant women asking for products to treat their skin therfore I'll be paying attention to these questions. In the meantime, I'm still looking out for friendly pregnancy products to create a post for my pregnant readers hence another reason for testing this. The salicylic acid content is 2% and unfortunately, it's not advisable to use this if you are pregnant.

For acne treatment during pregnancy, I've found Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide to be recommended products along with sugar scrubs. I'm looking into some Korean Beauty sugar scrubs so stay tuned.

Washing Your Hair In Harmattan

With this year's harmattan being so severe, protective styling is definitely a must. Unfortunately, I can't wear any styles yet with this short hair do what can i do? Right from the wash day, my attention has been on preventing moisture loss. This means from the shampoo process to the sealing process, each step involves maximizing moisture. I probably shampoo once every 2 weeks but I water rinse very often. This keeps the moisture levels up as well as keeping the hair less dirty.  I do well to sprit z the hair each morning before anything is done. With the new growth so thick, getting the hair damp is very crucial for moisture retention. I love length but moisture retention during this time of year is the key to a healthy hair. Another form of moisture retention technique I employ is ensuring that the deep conditioners and conditioners I use are moisture based.
