Tips For Clear Skin

 Via ashaasha.com

Tips for clear skin, I get angry and happy when just hearing that phrase. I can personally attest to the fact that I’m sick and tired of hearing the same tips for clear skin repeated over and over, so I want to provide some variety.

Tips For Clear Skin

*STOP TOUCHING YOUR FACE! Do you realize that you have dirt & oil on your hands, and when those two things combine they can prove deadly, breakouts.

*Wash your face twice a day, and only twice a day. Overly washing your face can cause your skin to dry and go into oil producing overload, breakouts. Even if your dead tired wash your face before you go to bed, all the dirt, oil and other things your skin has picked up throughout the day can really do damage.

*Get your 8 glass of water. Water flushes out the toxins from your body, the reason your breaking out yeah that’s toxins flush em out.

*Get your 8 hours of sleep. Ha 8 seems to be the magic number. While you sleep your body repairs itself, get’s out the bad stuff, you know all those good things. Well if your not getting enough sleep your body doesn’t have enough time to repair, and fight so your left with…breakouts.

*Don’t overdue the products. Using too many products, rather it’s acne products or makeup, can and will clog your pores thus leading to breakouts. Look for products that say non comedogentic (won’t clog pores), and use thin layers, thin layers people!

*Your inside reflects your outside. Yes folks what you eat does affect your skin. All that sugar in junk food that get’s ya going yeah it’s getting your oil production glands going too, breakouts! Eat stuff that’s healthy and high in protein, the improvement will take time (6 weeks) , but it will be seen!

*Get your hair off your face! To make this simple, hair= dirt/oil, dirt/oil= breakouts. So that cute little side sweep you love has got to go.

Well I sincerely hope you’ve enjoyed my little tips for clear skin piece. You guys, for the record, I will never promote something that didn’t work for me okay, that’s against my code of ethics.  I have tried or am in the process of trying all of these tips, and my face has cleared up considerable. I am not acne free, but my breakouts are less and smaller. Love y’all.

Brown, Black, & Olive



I love this dress! I was going for something a little more on the simple whimsical side, and I remembered I had this little olive number in my closet! The two things I love most about this dress would have to be the beading and the color. I have always like the color olive, but I somehow have very few olive colored pieces! It’s a great color just really calm and makes my skin color look richer and more even toned. I  must say I was pleased with the beads and how the give the whole outfit some texture so it didn’t just look like a piece of cloth. I am a lover of simple/polished dressing so this outfit was really an embodiment of my style and it will be seen in the future, in a different variation of course! Well love y’all!

Jean & Lace


I call this set Jean & Lace! I threw this nifty little combo together in like less than 8 minutes, talk about happy, it usually takes me like 45 minutes to completely put together an outfit. I was playing up on the fall fashion 2012 ya know with the absolutely huge denim trend, and lace is pretty in too as a end of summer pre fall staple. The shirt, denim jacket, and skirt were all gifted to me, but the shoes came from Payless! Hope y'all love and enjoy!
