It's pretty hard to have one product to fight Acne, especially if you have you have Body Acne too. Most people talk about Acne products use 394304923 products just to keep Acne in control. This includes a specific moisturizer, face wash, toner and some sort of spot cream, acne mask, exfoliator etc. etc.
There are so many products out on the market and even the ones that cost $$$$ aren't fit for everyone!
I have used a ton of products myself, and sometimes they work very effectively and sometimes they dont so much.
Here's a product that i've witness perform miracles! My sister's secret:
My sister's not the biggest skincare expert and will spend money on the dumbest things. Sometimes I feel like its a waste of my life to advise her on anything...
Due to meds, and prob her diet she was breaking out like crazy. and I mean CRAZY. She was definitely wearing alot of make-up and not washing her face properly or even taking care of her skin..
She tried diff things, including prescription drugs, and antibiotics- Doxycycline. I've taken this once or twice but it makes me hurl. So yeah pass.
Doxy definitely helped her but this particular wash cleared up her skin almost IMMEDIATELY! I was shocked to see the difference. Almost really jealous! I have some sort of weird allergic reaction to Benzoyl so I can't use, ( trust me Ive tried) but in anycase 10% BP is very effective and this wash is for Face, Chest and Back. She washes her face 2x a day, hardly wears makeup now, and her skin is freaking amazing!!
If you have issues with Acne and don't have issues with BP its probably the best BP product out there! Available at local pharmacies! MSRP: 10.00
She recently bought it for a friend and my niece too..
* If your skin does dry out, use it every night but if not then 2x a day!

More Fav Products!
So, I've put this off for a while- and since Ive been excessively buying products, I thought I'd more to my list. I was thinking monthly but my schedule's kinda off now so I'll just add as I go.
So, today someone told me my skin looked "great", and it was kinda in the dark but regardless of the fact that I did wear makeup today, I generally NEVER do. Just b/c I'm always afraid of breaking out bc it happens randomly... as well as I just don't need to wear it.
I prefer just working on my skin and getting it to a place wear makeup is not really needed- like in my early 20s (sad).
Anyway- So here are some things I've been using!
My take: Back when I worked for EA, I ordered this to try it. Back then it was amazing and it still is! I Know EA reformulated it and I have not tried the new formula but I am sure some of the EA counter's still carry it. Or you can find it at like a TJMAXX for 1/3 of the cost!
Great exfoliant, especially for sensitive skin. You can use it once a week or 2x. This makes your skin incredibly smooth and soft. It also takes away the dry patches or any flakiness and is super easy to peel off. It dries off in about 15mins and the best way to take it off is from the jaw upwards. I like the brush, for an even application- that is not super thin or too thick but using the fingers works well too. Tho my skin is more on the oily side, this product balances the oils out more than anything. Im totally obsessed with it. Definitely worth the try!
Cost: 12.00-36.00 USD
AT-Home Brazilian Peel
What it claims: An at-home, professional-strength peel with four once-a-week applications. The Brazilian Peel firms skin, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and helps you maintain a radiant, youthful complexion. Formulated with 30-percent glycolic acid, the nourishing antioxidant açaì, and the innovative Q-Mag Neutralizer, Brazilian Peel is the first professional-strength peel designed to deliver deeper, long-lasting results at home.
My take: I ordered this off ebay, for one application. The actual product comes with 4. Its a tad pricey so I thought I'd try it first. A friend recommended this product and absolutely fell in love with it. She was having issues with Acne. Since Acne happens to be an on-going battle and I tend to get lazy with the amount of work that goes into "keeping skin clean" jk..I wanted to try it as well.
First thing's first, it definitely reduced the marks in my face = success or as some of you may call- "winning"..
Another huge benefit, with just one application was the fact that it made my skin more even-toned. So double winning.
The application, "Clear" which is a newer formula, comes in a syringe like apparatus which has 2 formula's when pushed out together, and mixed the formula becomes "active" which lasts about 10 mins. So for those who don't know, chemical peels with 30% glycolic acid, ususally are used in Spas or medical settings supervised by a professional but this is something that you can do it home.
Asides from a bit of tingling and followed by tightness of the face for a few days, there is virtually no down time- THAT means now harsh peeling, extreme redness, or swelling. But if that does happen, call the doc! Haven't heard or seen it yet..
**A little secret: So since the formula doesn't activate till you push out, you can use 1/2 of the syringe first and 2nd 1/2 later- so that's 8 applications vs 4-
** And since it only works for about 10 mins, even if you leave it on, you won't burn your skin- unlike some formula's.
Price: 12 for 1 app, on Ebay but 78.00 USD @ Sephora!
If you want even tone skin, brighter skintone and clearer face definitely worth every penny!!
Hope you like! If you do get to try these or have tried them I would love to hear your experience!

Elizabeth Arden Peel & Reveal Revitalizing Treatment, 1.7 fl. oz.
What it Claims: This
intensive retexurizing treatment brings skin the natural protective
powers of cabernet grapeseed extract and the exfoliating capabilities of
alpha and beta hydroxies - in one simple brushstroke. Lift away
dullness, dry flakes and surface signs of stress. Discover new texture
and tone as pores look diminished and fine lines seem to fade away.
Reveal skin that is visibly firmer, incredibly smooth, clearly glowing.
My take: Back when I worked for EA, I ordered this to try it. Back then it was amazing and it still is! I Know EA reformulated it and I have not tried the new formula but I am sure some of the EA counter's still carry it. Or you can find it at like a TJMAXX for 1/3 of the cost!

A Bold Impression Makes a Lasting Impression..

A quick Wurd
It is 3 am I and I just realized I was suppose to write a blog on most effective ways to use Google for Skincare. I don't have time to do it now because I have to get up in the am and take some family friends to the airport. Sorta excited but not so much cuz I'm KNACKERED all the time. - That means super exhausted, aka my life story. Love airports, the energy and excitement of going somewhere...but NOT going anywhere, not too much.
Anyway perhaps at some point tomm I will do the entry! Ive noticed the number of views going up daily! :) Thanks for taking your time out to read this, and as I have been emphasizing I would love anyone and everyone's opinions on what I should talk about, Opinions on making this better? What you like don't like whatever u wanna say, GO FOR IT!
Oh, Stay tuned for Glowing Skin's best kept SECRET. Actually not a secret really anymore but I am dying to check this product out.. A bit skeptical from the videos Ive seen but who knows! Might just be amazing!! But Im gonna compare this $40.00 product to one I bought in about 2007 for $4.00.. Now ill add a little hint, comparing a highlighter to a bronzer and from the videos the pigment looks identical but you can be the judge of that ! Keeping my fingers crossed so I dont have to return it !
