The Real(Her)Hair
The Girl of 1,000 looks "Well if it isn't the girl of 1,000 looks," he'd announce with amusement. This greeting came at the start of every shift, as I strutted into the bar sporting a new hairstyle. While 1,000 looks was considerably generous, I was no stranger to the overnight walla-magic of my Black hair. Faux locs, platinum gray knotless braids, Peruvian curly or body wave, I rocked them all.
Miss DarylPublished 2 years ago in Blush What They Don't Tell You About Acne

Signs Your Shampoo and Conditioner Just Aren't Cutting It
It's the beginning of December, and the weather is starting to finally cool down in my home state of South Carolina, and as is normal during the winter months, my hair is beginning to dry up. I have to load my hair up with conditioner because it gets soaked up so fast.
Leilah GaineyPublished 2 years ago in Blush4 Need to know Acne advice from Dermatologists
It never occurred to me the importance of a proper skincare routine until I entered puberty. At first, I had no idea what was going on, what was causing my skin to break out, until the last 2 years of high school. I can still remember the Biology teacher going through the material on the Reproductive Cycle, then explaining how estrogen and internal body changes contribute to acne. Then in medical school, I truly understood what was happening. Now once I know what will occur I can definitely help myself and others.

The cold weather is rapidly approaching, although in some places it is already freezing and we are still in fall. With the cold air comes all these wonderful skincare commercials. Hydrating this, moisturizing that and if you don't know any better you would think both are the same. Well, they are not.

Amelia GrantPublished 3 years ago in BlushDo you need to wear sunscreen inside?
You've probably grown used to the new normal of working from home, social isolation, and minimal time spent in public spaces after months of quarantine. Perhaps you've turned your backyard into an adult summer camp, complete with evenings spent drinking wine from your decanter around a fire pit.

Does Dune Glow Remedy Really Work? I Tried It For A Week And Here’s What Happened.
With the weather being as hot as it is, it’s been hard for my body to adjust. Not too long ago, a heat wave blanketed Southern California, bubbling up to sweltering triple-digits. This was bad news for my skin. While I absolutely love basking in the sun — summer months are what I look forward to — the hot, hot rays combined with low humidity translated to breakouts and irritation. What’s more, high temps increase water loss, which often left me dehydrated, and consequently, battling a case of the blahs. Given that water is key to the proper functioning of every process in your body, we all know the damage not getting enough of it can do; Fatigue, dizziness, a drop in blood pressure, mood shifts, brain fog are just to name a few. So, it was at the right time, really, that I heard of Dune, a new wellness drink that promised to amp up collagen production and imbue my skin with some much-needed hydration.
