Less is more than you could ever imagine!

Makeup. It's fun and girly. However, like every other obsession, when used obsessively, makeup can cause deadly reactions from passerby curious eyes! We are all guilty of the overdone makeup look! Especially if you are a makeup fan and doing your makeup makes you actually feel all happy and jittery inside! Like Judy herself once said: "Natural is beautiful but makeup is glam!" I personally have various drawers full of it and I keep buying and buying more! Soon my boyfriend will have a heart attack! And that's why it's ironic when I say that sometimes all you really need is a little bit of lip balm and some fun at the beach for that sun tan look! So where I'm getting at, if you didn't already see it coming: The natural beauty look will be popular not just during the summer but all year round for as long as makeup exists! DUH! In order to prevent its arch enemy, the fake look, it is safer to always go natural!

The natural look not only enhances your inner beauty but it will also prevent you from looking too overdone. Even celebs like the very beautiful Kim Kardashian wear abundant amounts of makeup that usually tend to accentuate the imperfections instead of making her look as beautiful as she really is! Don't get me wrong, I believe makeup to be truly an art. You can turn into anything or anyone, if that's what you wanted. But like anything else, its use needs to be respected so that it can really work wonders on you! Natural makeup paired with a cute floral maxi dress or perhaps a peachy flowing top with perfect fit skinny jeans is the best look I would envision on someone who loves to rock the natural look! Either way, the natural look is like a black dress! It goes with everything and any kind of style... 

So hopefully after reading this you will be automatically motivated to wipe your face of all that makeup and re-do it all over again exactly the same way but with much less... what word am I looking for? Intensity! When people look at you now, they will see you! As you are and as you were meant to be, a natural beauty!

Just go to a dermatologist already!

Ever since I first got acne, 12 years ago, I have been trying products everywhere. I believed in the trial and error system and it has been working fine for me! From Proactive to Murad to Nature's Cure. They all worked for a while, then I'd have to replace them with something new as my skin would become resistant to their effects. But never had I used anything that worked this fast! My answer: I finally visited a dermatologist. The consult lasted a mere 13 minutes of my life. He jotted down a prescription medicine and a face watch product on his prescription notes and I was on my way over to the pharmacy! I thought: "That was simple! Why had it taken me this long?"

I don't know! Maybe because I'm scared of going into any doctor's office or hospital to begin with. Don't even get me started on the gynecologist. That'll take me another blog post on its own to carefully explain  the events of that first meeting! However, I'm describing my visit to my now dermatologist, the one who has changed my life.

I finally decided to go. I went since my skin had broken out because of these birth control pills I had been using! I'll cut to the chase, a dermatologist and any other doctor out there know what they're doing with perfection, so why be scared?

I've been using a benzoyl peroxide wash and a Clindamycin Phosphate gel on my face for a week now and I haven't seen my skin this clear ever! And it cleared up so fast! I now will continue trusting the dermatologist  with my skin for as long as I live! I am a believer! So... if you are also suffering from skin problems, just go to the dermatologist already. You will be amazed with the results!
