How To Get Clearer Skin FAST!
Get the flawless complexion you've always wanted.
The following is the routine that has given me skin that I can be happy with. I will be sharing the things I have found most effective alongside some of the products I find really work.
Most Importantly...
You've heard it over and over again, because it really works. Your skin and the rest of your body requires a sufficient amount of water to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially on those hot summer days.
Make sure to drink around (on average) 90oz a day.
This may seem hard at first, but an easy way to start is drinking a glass right when you wake up, before every meal, and before you go to sleep.
PLEASE... Take off your makeup!
Garnier SkinActive Micellar Water All-in-1 Cleanser
I cannot stress enough how important it is to take off your makeup before bed properly. Nobody wants clogged pores!
Leaving your makeup on can cause irritation and breakouts.
My favourite method of removing my makeup is by far Micellar water. I find that it removes and and all types of makeup (waterproof too!).
Find the right cleanser.
Bioderma Purifying Cleansing Foaming Gel for Combination/Oily Skin
When trying to find the right cleanser, the one thing you want to make sure of is that it doesn't contain harsh chemicals. No matter how much you think you skin can take, the skin on your face is extremely sensitive.
Intense products will only cause irritation and drying of the skin.
Tone it up!
Burt's Bees Rosewater Toner
Some may neglect this item from their skin care routine, but trust me, it makes a difference!
Toner locks in all the product you've used while closing/protecting your pores from new bacteria.
TIP: Put your toner in a spray bottle for easy, even, and refreshing application.
BONUS: It's a great wake-me-up in the morning!
Protect & Moisturize
Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Face Lotion Sunscreen - SPF 30
Wrinkles, sun spots, and peeling burns are only a few of the many things the sun can cause when your skin is not properly protected.
During the summer months I switch out my regular moisturizer for this sunscreen that is specific for your face.
Sunscreen is so important for your overall health, so make sure to be using it on any vulnerable skin.
P.S. This stuff smells amazing!
Clean Eating
Believe it or not, but one of the main reasons your skin isn't the way you want it to be is the food that you're eating.
Greasy junk food may be delicious, but your body hates it and will lash back.
I know changing your diet is tough, but by eliminating major foods that you know are bad for you, and replacing them with some veggies or fruit is definitely a great start!
Zzz...
Another thing that can distract from already clear skin is baggy dark circles under your eyes.
This is pretty self explanatory, but get enough sleep! Preferably 7-8 hours.
You'll feel and look better just by regulating your sleeping patterns.
TIP: If sleep is a really hard one for you, something that I sometimes do that makes a bit of a difference is placing cold spoons under my eyes in the morning.
Trust me!
Seriously, if you follow these steps, or at least a few of them, you will see results!
Just think logically about how your body functions, and how you want to help it keep functioning the way it's supposed to.
All of these things will benefit your physical and mental well-being.
Best of luck on your endeavour to clearer skin!

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.
