Show Some Skin

I have been majorly blessed with some great skin. But, even when you naturally have good anything, be it hair, skin, nails, or talents like music or machines...you have to take care of it.

I have used the same brand of face wash and moisturizer since I was 11. Mary Kay has been my brand my whole life. Like my dad says, "If it works, don't change it." Throughout high school I rarely had any breakouts, maybe one little spot a month...maybe.

In the Mary Kay brand there are a few different kinds of cleansers.
Timewise is made with age fighting in the cleanser.
Botanicals is made without synthetic dyes or perfumes for sensitive skin.
Velocity is made for teenaged skin generally oilyer and more prone to blemishes.
MKMen is made for the guys; generally drier skin and sensitive due to constant shaving.

I tried Timewise which has 2 different formulas. Combination to Oily and Normal to Dry. Normal to Dry made my skin MORE oily and Combination to Oily just dried out my skin causing me to break out more.

Botanicals is new. It comes in 3 formulas (which I prefer over the Timewise 2) Oily, Normal, and Dry. This is great for me. I never considered my skin to be "sensitive" but using the wrong cleanser definitely takes its toll on my face.

Velocity, definitely worked for me. However, after using the Botanicals I will definitely have it as my back up.

MKMen...I don't use it but all the men in my life do and not a blemish is in sight! =]

If you don't wash your face...you need to. AND please moisturize. If your skin has a tendency to be on the oily side, it will help prevent it getting worse. If you have dry skin...you probably don't need convincing. =]

An End to an Extended Hiatus

Between my personal blog, various events, family things, I'm coming back.

Now, I have no idea what to do...but I'm gonna make a list. (Lists are my favorite things after all.) I have a ton of ideas...but no clue where to start. I talked before about nails and such...maybe my next post will be on skincare?
