{How Hair + Skin = Acne?!}
A guide to clear skin
Hey! Hey!
I have the most shocking news that not too many people know. It might dawn you to know that you hair is like the number one cause to your acne/pimple problems!
Read on...
School on Acne:
A lot of people go on treating their pimple problems and acne issues without knowing the primary causes (DON'T YOU DARE SAY STRESS! ) and what acne actually is. If only we knew it would be easier to totally eliminate the problem in the first first first case!
Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin.
It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, oily skin, and possible scarring. It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back.
The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide or even murder! (And we all know how that's true!)
It's like you want to pop the bloody pimple, but that person who just walked by with clear skin must die!!!
Genetics is thought to be the primary cause of acne in 80% of the cases. The role of diet and cigarette smoking is unclear, and neither cleanliness nor exposure to sunlight appear to play a part.
In both sexes, hormones called androgens appear to be part of the underlying mechanism, by causing increased production of sebum. Another frequent factor is excessive growth of the bacterium Propionibacterium acnes, which is normally present on the skin.
Dayyymn those are some pretty long and hard words we will probably never say out loud--not just because we don't know how to pronounce them (wink).
The severity of acne vulgaris can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe (like curry!):
Mild acne is classically defined by the presence of clogged skin follicles (known as comedones) limited to the face with occasional inflammatory lesions.
Moderate severity acne is said to occur when a higher number of inflammatory papules and pustules occur on the face compared to mild cases of acne and are found on the trunk of the body.
Severe acne is said to occur when nodules (the painful 'bumps' lying under the skin) are the characteristic facial lesions and involvement of the trunk is extensive.
How acne-crushing.
- Many treatment options for acne are available, including lifestyle changes, medications, and medical procedures.
- Eating fewer simple carbohydrates such as sugar may help.
- Treatments applied directly to the affected skin, such as azelaic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and salicylic acid, are commonly used.
- Antibiotics and retinoids are available in formulations that are applied to the skin and taken by mouth for the treatment of acne.
However, resistance to antibiotics may develop as a result of antibiotic therapy.
Several types of birth control pills help against acne in women. (I don't recommend this for several long term reasons.)
Isotretinoin pills are usually reserved for severe acne due to greater potential side effects.
Of course, I am HIGHLY against using products, basically because products have you using them on tendency base. Which means you are going to have to spend lots of money on a product your whole life and without it you skin looks like... well... not the best.
Which is why I am for my article brands-->> "Momma told me the best things in life are natural and homemade!"
Natural remedies are proven to have lasting effects and you don't have to over use them.
Annnnyway, I wouldn't want to bore you further and peg a thoughtful question as to just how the people in the past survived longer and better with all the NATURAL resources as a cure for almost everything...??
(oops I just did!)
That is all I have for now.
A little reminder: Acne isn't something hideous, if anything it has taught us how to treat our skin!!
Right!

to be successful when dating your girlfriend
To have a perfect date, first you need to determine a date time that suits the two of you. Therefore, you need to ask her about a suitable date and time, so you can set a time to meet, bringing a feeling of comfort to both parties. The first date always leaves a special feeling in the hearts of the people involved. Therefore, you should plan in detail to create an unforgettable impression in the beauty's heart. You don't necessarily have to spend a lot of money to hire a private band of musicians, or take her to luxurious and expensive places, just a romantic meal together at the park or something. It's so sweet that she's never done it before... Surely, she will always remember this impressive date. If you and she had a successful first date, continue planning the next date. Because this is necessary to let her understand that you are very interested in her. However, when showing interest, you should not show too much emotion because it can make her feel suffocated. Even if you and she have had interesting dates, that doesn't mean you should stop keeping in touch with her. This will make her think that you no longer care about her.Therefore, you need to continue to keep in touch to let her understand that you are still there and still care about her every day. Girls often don't like just listening to you talk about yourself without mentioning anything related to them. Because that proves that you are selfish and don't care about their thoughts. Therefore, you need to create a balance between questions and answers between the two of you throughout the conversation.You can ask questions about her life, hobbies, work... and share information with each other. During your daily conversations, you should keep in mind the likes and dislikes she has shared with you. If she mentions that she doesn't like seafood dishes, it's best not to date her at restaurants that specialize in seafood. Through this, she will know that you always listen and understand her.Chivalry and "gallantry" in behavior are always appreciated by girls in a man. Therefore, you should be polite, caring and do the best for the woman you want to create a long-term relationship with. Honesty and kindness are always good qualities that girls want in a boyfriend. Therefore, please respect, cherish and always help her when she needs you. There's nothing worse than when a girl thinks things are going well between them and you, but then you "disappear" without saying goodbye. This is the worst thing and unintentionally lowers your self-worth. Therefore, you should behave like a grown man.If you no longer have feelings for her then politely and gently tell her, give her that respect, because she deserves it Sometimes girls can feel uncertain about your feelings for them. Therefore, they would love to hear you remind and confirm your feelings for her once again.You don't have to repeat it 24/7 because it can make her feel bored and suffocated. But, if she doesn't listen to your reassurances, she may feel insecure about your feelings. Another bad thing that girls often encounter is not being able to predict a man's behavior. Therefore, you should not say one thing and do another, but always be consistent between your words and actions, that will make girls always respect you.

The Fish Song
The room didn’t smell like disinfectants. Its fragrance seemed light and not overbearing. A soft mixture of lavender and mint permeated the space. No beeping machines or any tubes hooked up to four-year-old Kaleeka. Her cacao skin seemed to glow from the light over her head. The family, save for one and the doctors and nurses exited the room like a trail of saints showing their last vestiges of regard.

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
