Best Facial Mists for Glowing Skin
Especially on hot days, it can be difficult to avoid oily, acne-prone facial skin. For others, the summer heat can cause drying and peeling. While there is no shame in struggling with skin problems with the season changes, there is something you can do to make it better. One of the best ways to help dry skin during the summer is to get facial sprays.

Facing My Insecurities
When most girls turn thirteen, they get boobs. I, however, received a different blessing from the Puberty Fairy. I did not get bumps on my chest, but rather bumps on my face. Large, red, clustering bumps. My friends were buying bras, and I was buying Proactive.

An Acne Treatment to End All Treatments
What is one of the hardest parts about being a teenager and going through puberty? Acne. When you reach a certain age, you’d think that it would go away. You hope and pray that it’s only a phase and that you won’t have it forever. The lucky ones have it for a few years and maybe once in a while get a break out with stress of weather changes. Some of us, like me, aren’t so lucky.

Best Ways to Get Clear Skin! (ASAP)
1. Never Sleep Without Taking Makeup off First! Leaving makeup on overnight not only causes breakouts, but it also makes your skin super dry the next morning and makes your skin age faster. Keep wipes next to you in case you always have that "oh it's just once" habit and become lazy.

The Picture That Spoke a Few Thousand Characters
Meaningless notifications from the Linkedin app led me to my girlfriends profile; A beautiful black woman. After 10 seconds of scrolling the news feed, then 20 seconds of adding random people with cool pics, and titles, I see her. I had never seen this picture, and I was filled with a weird anxious feeling. I get like this whenever she posts pictures on Social Media, which is rare. Her popping up on my feed, is like an Easter Egg in a Marvel movie, or actually seeing a unicorn walk down the street. Its always a rare sighting, and I'm always freaked out for some reason. I texted her to tell her how beautiful the picture was, and how I felt seeing it, and then some more compliments; that I hope she enjoyed as well. I closed the apps, and went back to listening to The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi on YouTube.

Here's What You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal
A year ago when I decided to start laser hair removal, I underestimated three aspects of the process: the price, the time commitment, and the pain. What did I overestimate? The effectiveness.

The Truth Behind These 8 Popular Skincare Items
It doesn’t take a beauty mafioso to know about the revolving door of products touted as the magic bullet for everything from wrinkles to combination skin. After all, the leagues of Instagram and Pinterest skincare threads have made these trends hard to ignore; regardless of how loyal we are to our tried and trusted favourites, it’s difficult to resist the appeal of the new ‘it’ product when it’s plastered all over our feeds. As a Canadian, it's often hard to track down many of the favourites without having to scour high and low (AKA shop online), so I understand the disappointment of skincare products less than living up to the hype. To help you avoid spending your money on a lacklustre miracle serum or cleanser, I’ve compiled a list of popular products I’ve loved or regretted.

Spironolactone Cleared My Skin
I've never had severe acne, however, I had what dermatologists would refer to as "moderate acne". I always had little pimples on my chin and on my forehead, and my skin was always super oily. When one zit went away, it seemed like two more reappeared the next day. I had tried all of the over-the-counter face washes and spot treatments, but nothing seemed to work.

Everything You Should Know About Taking Beauty Supplements. Top Story - July 2018. Created with: HUM.
For the longest time, the beauty industry has focused on exterior appearance and surface solutions. To a point, it makes sense. We put makeup on our faces to cover up acne and other imperfections. We spray our hair to keep it in place and add a little extra volume. We even add polish on top of our nails to make them look shinier.

Accutane Skincare Routine
In a world of striving for perfection and flawlessness, it's hard to not focus on every little flaw. Skin issues are definitely one of those flaws that people try to erase. They can be daunting and bring along low self-esteem when and wherever they hit. As someone who has suffered from poor skin for the majority of their life, I can vouch for how they completely shape and dictate certain aspects of it.
