You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

youve-been-using-facial-cleanser-all-wrong2

Have you been using facial cleanser all wrong? As they say time is money, but the fact is that most of us do not take enough time to really get the most benefits out of their cleanser. Therefore, what is the right way to cleanse the face so that gorgeous, healthy skin may be had?

You’ve Been Using Facial Cleanser All Wrong

It may come as some what of a surprise to learn that using facial cleanser comes with a bit of a time factor. It is more than a splash, soap up and splash again process. So then, how long should you be cleansing?

David E. Bank is a renown dermatologist who is based in Mount Kisco, New York. Bank reveals that it takes at least one minute for cleanser to do its thing and work. As a result, if you are spending less time than sixty seconds then you probably are not getting things as clean as they could be.

Beauty Reflection Time: Are you taking enough time to properly clean your face? Clock yourself one day in order to know for sure!

Therefore, the key to all of this is to simply slow down. Give your cleanser the time it needs to get in there and clean out all the gunk and dirt that could cause break outs and other skin issues. Furthermore, to make things easier try using your phone’s timer so that you can get a full 60 seconds under your belt before rinsing. Your skin will thank you for the time well spent!

Health experts say that there are at least 11 known natural cures with antibiotic properties that you may just have lying around in your kitchen. So then, what are these foods and why are they so effective?

apple-cider-vinegar3

We have complied a list of all 11 foods that can aid your body in its battle with various sicknesses like a cold. Here they are:

  • Apple Cider Vinegar
  • Onion
  • Raw Honey
  • Garlic
  • Habanero Peppers
  • Colloidal Silver
  • Ginger
  • Oregano Oil
  • Echinacea (Herb)
  • Turmeric
  • Horseradish Root

So that’s the list but why are these foods so helpful? When you are fighting an illness such as a cold your body’s first line of defense is your own immune system.

Insert round of applause!

Apple Cider Vinegar Fix That Fights Colds

This year we tested out the Apple Cider Vinegar theory and was pleasantly surprised. Since January of this year (it is now December) we have not had a single cold! We have to admit at first we were HIGHLY skeptical but now we are total believers. The body is amazing and the things we find right in nature are just as extraordinary in keeping us well.

To stay healthy all we did was drink a little Apple Cider Vinegar whenever we felt a little tickle in our throats or stuffiness. That throat tickle or scratchiness is a strong signal that sickness is on the way. Nevertheless, if you choose to try ACV never ever drink it straight! Dilute it with water so that the acidity does not cause any harm to your teeth.

1. Take a large glass and fill the bottom with a small amount of ACV (one teaspoon or two).

2. Dilute the Apple Cider Vinegar by filling the glass to the top with water.

3. Drink two or three glasses a day until all signs of an approaching cold disappear. Sometimes you will find that the very next day you are back to normal! Nonetheless, remember to try this remedy at the outset and when you first feel yourself getting sick.

Having a cold can be a real buzz kill. However, by taking advantage of what’s in your kitchen you can beat a cold and win!

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Have you ever thought about owning your own company one day? Thanks to technology and digital platforms more young women are becoming entrepreneurs than ever. Get the motivation you need to be a bonafide Boss Lady with Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO!

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO

Fashion brand Milano di Rouge is owned and operated by black business owner, Milan Rouge. Milan has always possessed a knack for being a motivator. Her strong spirit led her to start her own successful blog and pursue the creation of a fashion label.

Business Success Quotes From Milano Di Rouge Fashion CEO 2

Milan always promotes that anyone can make their dreams a reality. There are so many wise things she has said but we collected together a few that are encouraging and give an insider’s view on being a company owner. Milan has said,

“Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules and build a life you’re proud to live. So the question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.

“It’s so much negativity in this world I just try my best to bring some positivity, motivation and inspiration to anyone I come in contact with. Notice I said try, I’m still human [and] I still have my bad days. I just want us to realize our power and own it. I try to encourage everyone that if they truly want something that it’s obtainable, if they work hard enough. And if they truly want to know something the answer isn’t as hard to find as they think.”

Owning a couture brand involves making sure everything is on point online, in store, on social media as well as on set. Nevertheless, Milan also discussed how she handles the image of her label,

“Being the model and designer is tough. I have to always get out of model mode (inside the camera) and go into Director mode (outside looking in) to make sure everything is good. Luckily for me [my team] makes it’s a little easier for me to do because I trust their vision, although I’m still a little anal [because] I like to see for myself. Hence my facial expression: I’m probably saying “make sure the logos are visible and the shirt is not creasing!”

Business success quotes are an excellent way to stay on track towards your goals. Post them around your workspace in order to keep your motivation high. Be like Milan and always remember that nothing you want is unattainable. In closing here are a few more Rouge sayings to never forget!

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout

Amber Rose walks for a good cause, makes stylish sunnies and also collaborates with Flirt Cosmetics. One very busy lady! What is one of her newest beauty products that is a must-have? We recommend Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout.

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose

Want a pucker that will bring your crush to his knees? Prefer your lip color to be bold and vibrant? A huge fan of MUVA? If you answered yes to any of those questions then Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks is definitely for you.

According to Amber the gorgeous lip tints are a “weapon of mass seduction.” The first two shades are already out and available for purchases. Flirt will be rolling them out two at a time so soon there will be even more shades to love. So then, what are the first two stick colors? Amber has truly put her own touch on them. She revealed,

“Chicksticks from Flirt Cosmetics, featuring my two lip shades named after my pugs! Pauly is the cool, hot pink and Franky is the deep, vampy plum.”

Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks By Amber Rose For The Ultimate Pout2

Therefore, whether you are the girly-girl or video vixen, Pauly and Franky will give you one sexy pout. However, here is our one warning. BE FAST ABOUT PURCHASING. Flirt is a newer, smaller company who’s demand is really picking up! So when they sale out you will be waiting a bit for restocking.

For instance, once upon a time Flirt Cosmetics made an Eyelash staple gun. The gun really worked, turned gals into beauty queens and then it sold out quickly. The end. The gun will be back soon but moral of story is that great products like Flirt Cosmetics Chicksticks will not last. So check it out along with other glam products by going here.

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game3

How can the perfect comfort food when surviving monthly cramps be so bad? Researchers for years have been trying to solve the mystery, does chocolate cause acne? Some can eat the yummy, delectable treat while others simply can not. Therefore, is there a way chocolate and skincare can actually come together in a positive way?

Does Chocolate Cause Acne? Esthechoc Could Change the Game

Okay dolls here is the truth in a beauty nutshell. There is absolutely little to no evidence proving that chocolate causes breakouts. Alright, so what gives? Why do some people eat the coco and wind up as a pie face?

The thing is what has been proven through countless studies is that consuming a high-sugar/high-fat diet can lead to acne. This is because such a diet can increase sebum production thus promoting inflammatory responses within the body. Those responses is what leads to ugly breakouts.

Sebum is a greasy oil that is secreted from the sebaceous glands. We need sebum because it helps to lubricate as well as waterproof our hair and skin. Without sebum our skin and hair would lack moisture and dry out.

As you can see sebum can be good or disastrous. As mama always said, “Too much of a good thing can be bad.” Acne forms when too much sebum is produced. So then, you can begin to see why it is important not to do anything that may increase oil production. Besides watching our diet we would also want to avoid over washing our skin.
