I Made My Way To Clearer Skin And You Can With These Tips, Too

My hacks on how to have that facial glow.

Skin Care

I have dealt with my acne for too long and finally decided to make a change. I used a basic face wash and moisturizer daily, but that didn't do much. I knew the obvious things, drink more water, touch your face less, and stay away from oily foods. But I knew I needed more.

I did some research and found that aloe vera and argan oil are very good for your skin. So I started putting aloe on every morning and argan oil before I slept every night. I also started making homemade face masks in which I would mix turmeric and yogurt together to brighten the face. Lemon juice and yogurt can help lighten scars, as well. Overall, I did notice that my skin felt healthier and some of my scars were lightening. The masks were very good, but they weren't doing much to actually prevent the acne. Then I realized, I probably needed a better face scrub.

I started using Neutrogena acne-preventing daily scrubs and a toner for sensitive skin. I made sure to leave some time between using each of the products so they had enough time to take effect and not react with another product. I used most of the products twice a day or as otherwise instructed.

At first, it seemed like nothing was really happening, but I understood that I needed to be patient. Over the next few weeks, I noticed that my skin was much clearer than it had previously been. I felt like I was more confident when I walked out of my house without any makeup on. These are the things that have worked for me and there was definitely a lot of trial and error with the products. My skin is oily and what I used may not be beneficial to those with drier skin. Nevertheless, find what works best for you and be patient. Eventually, your skin will shine like the stars.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
