Fresh

By: Gabriela Yareliz
So… it is the new year.
We must start it off right and fresh.

Being in the city, I have discovered city+cold=nasty skin. Dry, flaky and acne prone.

If you want something organic to help you clear up your skin (without all of those chemicals!) Try it out… Juice Beauty Organics Clear Skin Kit. I am using it and I really like it. Maybe it is also the Florida weather and sun, but my skin looks waaaay revitalized, fresh and it isn’t chalky and dry.

I bought it at Ulta.

Also, a lot of my favorite tutorial people on Youtube have been complaining about adult acne. I thought makeup was bad, but I never imagines we put petroleum derivatives on our faces.
The Women’s Forum has a list of bad ingredients your should check your makeup bag for. Start small, but definitely eliminate things with Petroleum and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.

These harmful ingredients can be found in very pricey makeup products known for their “quality.”
EEEEK.

Some brands that offer a healthier alternative:
Tarte

Korres

Okay, so this has been a very girly talk. But seriously guys can start off fresh too this year. Exfoliate, get some sun at least 15 min. a day, moisturize, stay hydrated and take care of your skin no matter where you are in the world.

CURRENT OBSESSION: A fabulous thing I swear by: Vitamin E pills. pop them for the oil inside and they are great for broken, chapped or wind burned skin and lips. Don’t use on skin if you will have a lot of sun exposure because it stains. Only use at night, so your skin can revitalize and heal over night, and then wash it off.

Keep warm, stay healthy and be fresh!
