Oatmeal. Great Remedy.

Oatmeal

As we all know, We use oatmeal based skincare products when our skin is dry and blotchy. It is known to calm,soothe and cure the skin.

Here I'm going to list some of the benefits and facts about oatmeal:

• It has Anti-Inflammatory Properties so that it can calm and soothe the skin when it is dry or even when you have Eczema.
• It can absorb and remove oil from the skin,Which it is also good for oily skinned people.
• Oatmeal is good for acne.
• It is a great mild exfoliant when used as a scrub.
• It is effective in fighting dull,dry,flaky and patchy skin.
• Can be used as a natural facial cleanser. (I'm going to post on how to use oatmeal as a cleanser.)
• It helps maintain skin's natural barrier and protects your skin from Rosacea, Eczema and rashes.
• It calms the skin.
• It helps reduce pore size.
• It has good exfoliating properties.

Those were some facts and benefits of oats..

Oatmeal Cleanser

I've been using this method for a year now and it really helped my acne alot. 

I first saw it at Bubzbeauty's video and decided to try this remedy.

Here's what I do every morning and night with my oatmeal cleanser..

1. First, I take a handful amount of oats onto my hand and ran some warm water over it without getting it all off inside my palm. When it becomes mushy,pushy your thumb gently onto the center part of the soaked oats until the water becomes milky.
2. When already accomplished to get the milky and watery substance form the oats,carefully put the milky water onto your face and massage it gently onto your skin.
3. After massaging the milky water from the oats,carefully get some oats from the mixture you already made, then gently massage it onto your skin,doing this method will gently exfoliate your skin and it will absorb the sebum and impurities you got on your face.
4. After massaging the milky substance and the oats onto your face  for 2 minutes or more, carefully rinse off your face. You will immediately feel that you face already became smoother and more supple than before. Using oats onto your face everyday will make you face glow for the day. 

*Note* This method is really messy and it may cause some clogging of your sinks,so be careful!*

It might be messy but it really works wonders for our skin! This remedy helped my skin when I'm breaking out. Sometimes you had to take a risk about something. I tried it and it worked. Now it's your turn to try this remedy and tell me what you think.

Hope this remedy helped you.

MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush Review

Hey guys!
I'm going to review the MAC Cream Colour Base in Hush.

I've been loving this product when I want to have a healthy glow on my face.

 Its  consistency is creamy,easy to blend and it melts through the warmth of your fingertips while applying it. 

This is a versatile product,you can use this on your face,eyes,and lips,pretty much anywhere you want to have a beautiful glow! I usually use this to highlight my cheeck bones and my inner corners of the eyes. You can put it in your high points of your face. 

 You can apply it using your finger,brush,or sponge.. You can also use this as your eye shadow base,isn't great?! 

I really love this product! It's a lifesaver! I recommend you to buy this one if you're investing for a multi-purpose product!

That's all about it guys! Leave a request what you want me to post next! It's already midnight here but I'm still chatting with my friends :)) 

Skincare Staples:Face Wash

Hi Girls!
  Today I'm going to talk about our skincare. Skincare routine consists of 3 steps,cleanse,tone,and moisturize. I'm going to talk about face wash first because its the main step in our skincare routine. Teenagers like me is having a trouble with acne and oily skin,so today,I'm going to tell you a product that works really well for teenagers like me..

If you're following me on twitter,you know how much I love this one:

Dove Beauty Bars

I love this product so much! This stuff is amazing for everyone even whose skin is sensitive/dry. So girls, If you're just starting out your skincare routine,I am recommending you to try this to use on your face. It also has 1/4 moisturizing cream,its good for dry/sensitive skin. I used this when I was a little girl and I'm still using this stuff until now! This one of my secret weapon for my clear skin. This not soap,they say that this is a beauty bar,so you can use it in your face. It will not dry out your skin like regular soaps that you're using on your body.. And also,don't use body soaps in your face,it will dry out your skin too much even if you have oily skin,if you use it on your face,this will cause you much oilier skin. Use Dove Beauty Bars if you're just starting out,its great for all skin types :)

   TRY THIS ONE ON YOUR FACE AND YOU CAN FEEL THAT YOUR SKIN WAS IMPROVED.

This will not cause you some acne if you're going to use this on your face for the first time :)

Hope you had a little bit of lesson about skincare today! 

You can leave me a request of what do you want me to post next time:)
