Small tips about keeping your face clean and acne-free!

My Daily Skin Care Routine

Lately, I have been super interested in beginning a nightly and morning routine regarding my face. My whole life, I have been absolutely horrible with keeping a routine going due to either being up late and being just too tired or honestly just forgetting. I have been struggling with keeping my face clean and honestly, my face just doesn't feel good either, I am someone who gets decently bad acne so a morning and nightly routine should part of my schedule, although I am still getting used to doing my morning and nightly routine, I have been pretty good about keeping up with it. Keeping up with it helps a lot when I just remember to wash my face and, whenever I brush my teeth, it is easier for me to remember that way!

Here is my morning and nightly face routine in order:

1. Wash my face with a face cleanser

I clean my face whenever I shower also, but I found that when I clean my face in the morning, it helps me get ready for the day. Overall, I just feel more energized and clean. Washing my face at night just kind of reminds me that my day is done and I can start to settle down and get ready for bed, but with a clean face!

2. Wash left over dirt

I like to use like a daily cleanser after I wash my face as well, I just get a cotton ball wet with the cleanser and go back over my face just to pick up any excess dirt and grime that my face wash might not have gotten. It tends to dry my skin on my face out a lot, but it has made an impact on my skin in the long run.

3. Brush my teeth

Most days and night, I brush my teeth before I start my face routine, but every now in then I will brush my teeth after I use my cleanser because sometimes it leaves my face wet and it needs time to dry, so I brush my teeth to give it time to dry.

5. Moisturize

Next, (my favorite part), I moisturize. I am not quite sure why I enjoy moisturizing my face so much but for some reason, it is just so satisfying to me! For me, this step is especially important because my cleanser is so prone to drying my skin out. Moisturizing after I use the cleanser always leaves my face feeling much less dry and yucky.

That is my morning and nightly routine when it comes to keeping my face as clean as possible. Another helpful tip that I have started doing is washing my pillow cases once a week. A lot of dirt and dust can collect on your pillow cases and could cause your face to break out and just be unclean in general. I have also found that instead of using your hands to wash your face, using a little hand towel instead works better, it keeps your hands off your face. Touching your face with your hands can also tend to cause break outs due to all the natural oils that are in your hands. Hopefully things tips will help you either find a new skin care routine or help extra!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
