Tired of acne?

    I remember when I was in my elementary and junior high school years, running around and worried about nothing. I also remember my brother and his acne. I always thought I was so lucky that I didn't have acne but he always said to me "just wait until you get pimples!" Well...Lets just say that i didn't have to wait long.
    I was in last year of junior high when my acne problem began to develop (one year after I started wearing makeup). The more in love with makeup, the more obsessed I got with my skin problem! Hormones defiantly did and still do play a huge part with any acne from the ages of 12-late 20's.
 

Dont stress!!
 Listen, everyone has acne! Don't freak out over blemishes, the more you focus on it the worst it'll get! Trust me, your energy is very powerful and if you put it all towards you acne problem, it wont get any better!

Change your ways!
 Change your focus. Don't pick at your pimples, pick on something else!

Love your face!
  Hoʻoponopono. Weird word huh? Hoʻoponopono is an ancient hawain practice which allows you to learn forgiveness and acceptance. I know this might sound crazy but it was introduced to me by a very special person and has changed my ways. 
 Four phrases!
I love you
Please forgive me
Im sorry
Thank you


Say I love you to your blemishes! Apologize for what you have done with the excessive picking and energy towards the acne, ask for forgiveness as well! And thank it for giving you the knowledge of knowing what to do in certain situations! 
I promise this help you. if you keep doing this you will notice your acne less and be relaxed and happy. Stress induced acne won't come up anymore. 


MY DIET!
Starting march I will begin an acne diet! Diet plays an important role in your skin as well as health. Although not proven, an acne diet can change your skin's complexion in many ways!


No more:
  •  Dairy products- yogurt, chocolate, milk, cheese, and any other thing! 
  •  junk food- I'm eating all veggies and fruits!


Lots of:
  •  WATER: a lot, a lot of water 
  •  fruits: all yummy kinds!

 Now for my daily routine I will be using (drum roll please!)
 
Clean&clear's advantage acne control kit! Ive tried this before and I really loved it so I thought I would give it a go again! plus its affordable!

Now every Monday for four weeks I will have a blog with pictures of my skin and how it's doing! One picture for every day each will will give you a good review on this diet and acne kit! At the end of the month i will have one big video with before and after videos.. I am sooo excited!

Stay tuned! Here's to great skin and happiness!

    1. I'm so sorry i never replied! Honey is amazing to calm the skin and help heal your blemishes. Green Tea is also a great ingredient. try a scrub for instance, honey and sugar. if you have sensitive skin give honey and cinnamon a try. With the green tea you have use it has a facial mask. just apply it with a cotton ball all over your face and you should see some sort of difference. good luck!
