Changes

When the new year started, everything kind of changed and I felt like I was thrown back into school. So much homework and tests. It's so stressful, especially because I have to go to high school and I want to get into a good school. I know that in 9th you have to study harder, but it was all just slapped into my face. With fighting blemishes and studying, I'm trying not to get stressed and keep calm. Because stress can cause breakouts and my skin is doing better so no. Also I'm trying to stay healthy and fit, because I don't workout so often anymore. 

I have become a tea lover. I'm still trying different teas, but currently my favourites are chamomile and rose hip teas. Tea is really good for you, because it contains water, which is necessary for life, it contains herbs that have different benefits (like, rose hip has antioxidants and vitamin C). I drink tea with honey, which is antibacterial. So that has helped me keep calm and healthy. I also have been eating less sugar products, because sugar makes hormones go crazy and cause acne. I eat more fruit and drink a lot of water.

When I feel stressed, I watch movies/TV shows or listen to music. I also try to focus more on things I like to do and not just sit behind my laptop. Also sleep is really important. Brain needs to recharge and organize and body needs to rest and renew. Lately I've been getting 7-8 hours of sleep, which I'm pretty happy about. Sometimes I feel like I should stay up later and study, but when I'm tired I can't focus so well, so that would be pointless.

I'm really impressed that I have been going to school without makeup. I still have dark spots, but I'm too lazy in the morning and I also want to sleep longer. It has kinda helped with my insecurity and also has been like a test, because sometimes it's like NO, don't look at me. I have become stronger and less critical about myself, because I like to focus on the good things.

School is not my priority, it is still important and I study, but lately it feels like it's the only thing going on in my life. It just feels like I'm wasting my life. Of course I want to learn new things and improve, but I also want to live. I don't even know anymore. I am gonna push through this, because if others can do this, so can I.

pHformula A.C. Recovery and P.O.S.T Recovery Cream - Review

Image
So I went to a cosmetologist for the first time in my life to seek help with my acne struggles and well facials alone don't fix the issue. She gave me these two products by a brand called pHformula. This brand's products can only be bought from a professional, who has a license to do their treatments and sell their products. Which means that these products are to support the skin after the treatments and between facials. As my cosmetologist said, the skincare regimen at home is a lot more important than facials, so if you can't afford facial treatments regularly, then invest in your skincare routine. A.C. Recovery is like a treament type of serum. It costs about 61€ and contains tons of acne-fighting ingredients including mandelic acid, niacinamide and salicylic acid. This special formula should help renew and support the skin while recovering. I have been applying this twice a day, at night I pump a tiny pea-sized amount for my entire face and in the morning I jus

Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch - Review

Image
With long-awaited summer approaching, I thought it's only appropriate to write about sun protection. Sun is still extremely harmful for your skin, in case you forgot, and applying SPF daily is recommended for a reason. So if you don't want to look 20 years older in the next 10 years with wrinkles and dark spots, I'd suggest you get on it asap. I religiously apply SPF, so using one that is great for my acne-prone oily skin is of high importance. Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF 50+ Dry Touch  I always opt for and suggest buying SPF from a pharmacy, because most of the products sold are high quality and sensitive enough that they shouldn't cause any issues. This time I decided to try the Babe Facial Oil-Free Sunscreen SPF50+ Dry Touch. This sunscreen is also supposed to be water-resistant, colourant-free, hypoallergenic and dermatologically tested. The formula is enriched with soothing active ingredients and antioxidants (like vitamin E), so your skin should be happy. T

DMK Danne Alkaline Wash for acne scars- MY EXPERIENCE

Went to my regular facial treatment when my cosmetologist turned to me and said "What if we try alkaline wash for your acne scars?". Since my skin has been doing so much better lately and I didn't really have any active acne, so why not try something for my scarring. However this alkaline wash isn't exactly a relaxing treatment. It's gonna take about two weeks for my skin to fully heal, because this alkaline will cause burning sensation and sensitivity. She warned me that I might have to get blisters just like when you burn your skin. So it wasn't the most tempting offer, but I have many acne scars, so might as well try and get rid of them. Also right now is the best time for me as I can stay at home and not show my face. At first I couldn't really tell anything when she applied the alkaline, but later when she moisturized my face, ouch that was painful. For the rest of the day my face was a little tight and slightly red, but nothing too drastic. Few areas
