Lovelyish

I love a simple mask of just honey, thinly spread over the face for about thirty minutes. It makes my skin all glowy and soft. However, the honey and sugar scrub was not a good idea for my dry cheeks. It just made me break out more. I’ve tried all kinds of dumb shit… The best thing I’ve done is to abandon benzoyl-peroxide acne medicine, and stick with things that will hydrate and make my skin look better in the long run as opposed to getting rid of some pimple that will only be around a week at the most.

As far as getting rid of post-acne marks, I think I’d spend a small fortune if I only had the money. That’s the one thing I’d drop some serious money to fix.

Haha! I once tried this hair removal stuff by nair for your face. I had convinced myself that I had some lil hairs by my lip so I needed to remove it! I put it on so it looked like I had a  white stache going on and left it on for 5 min as it said. Well… 3 minutes in I went to ask my mom if it was supposed to be burning. She said she didn’t think so and told me to rinse it off immediately. I did and well… it had burnt off my skin and left it red and rashy!!!! In mustachio shape!!!  I couldn’t believe it! I told my boyfriend I wouldn’t be attending our lunch date and  he insisted I went… just to laugh hysterically at my burn marks. He said I was silly cuz I had no little hairs to remove. -_-’ Traumatizing. So the only beauty products I use are the basics: body lotion, face lotion and cleanser, deoderant, mascara and eye shadow, and taking care of the usual stuff so I am kept clean. 

I use olive oil to clean off my eye make up and as a moisturizer and the same goes for coconut oil. It really does work wonders for dry and sensitive skin. I stopped using moisturizing creams after I started using oil. It just works so much better.

As for beauty regimen related things, I’m not a drastic person. I pluck my eyebrows at home but don’t need to color them since they’re naturally dark. I don’t dye my hair and I haven’t had a haircut for a year (I’m on my way. I’m just soooo lazy about it). I use green tea in stead of a toner, tomato juice on breakouts, baking soda to exfoliate. The only things I’m anal about is drinking lots of water, eating healthy and shaving. I hate having body hair at all. 
In conclusion, I wouldn’t “go far” at all. I’m pretty happy with the way things are. I’d like to be a bit taller maybe, but there’s no cure for being short

I use cleansers/shampoos, creams/lotions and conventional makeup.  I pluck my brows on my own and shave unwanted body hair.  I haven’t tried chemical hair removers yet, not keen on going under the knife or receiving injections of fillers for my face and/or body as of now.  I’ve had my hair dyed before but no longer.  I sometimes wear bras with push up padding and high heels (but not butt-boosting panties).  That’s about it.

I only use olive oil to clean off my makeup. Which I rarely wear anyhow. I just take good care of myself and let confidence take care of the rest. I don’t even get my nails done. My aunt cuts and dyes my hair. And I don’t like using overly processed, chemical shit so buying expensive creams and getting laser hair treatment does not sound appealing to me at all.

just eat healthy and it’ll show 

  I make sure I wash my face thoroughly before bed (I just use your run-of-the-mill Clean&Clear Blackhead cleanser). If I feel my skin needs it, I also put on a bit of Vitamin E cream. I don’t wear make-up, at all. My mom always warned me against the dangerous effects powder and foundation could have on a gir’s complexion, so I never got into it. I do consider myself lucky that I don’t really need make-up, although I’m sure I’d look better with it lol.
  I’ve learned that some home rememdies work, but it depends on what you use, how long you have in on your skin, and the TYPE of skin you have (oily, clogged, dry, etc.) Not every technique works as a general rule : ]

Olive oil shouldn’t be something that’s strange. It was used looong time ago in the ancient times by the Greeks and Egyptians, it’s best way to clean things off and make your skin feel nice. I made a scrub by michelle phan using olive oil, it felt weird using in for my face so I just used it for my feet and it made my feet wicked soft. 

I’ve made a toner using green tea, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice from bubzbeauty and it works really good on my skin. Use it everyday now

I’m always up for trying home made beauty things. I did the oatmeal all over my face a few months ago, it was a mess but fun. I guess not TOO far? The only thing I do that is painful is get my eyebrows waxed once in awhile. I’m tried bleaching my lip hair but it didn’t do anything so I’ve adapted the “fuck it” attitude. Ugh, and I once got this eye cream for my dark under eye circles. Stuff burned. My mom used it and said it didn’t work. I sent it back. I stick to my eye roller now, which I got shortly after. I feels nice when I use it.

i use olive oil when shaving.  it keeps me from having ingrown hairs.  

my current routine is Noxzema cream cleanser or a glycolic cleanser, some antioxidant cream and some eye gel, and then a lotion with SPF (or just sunscreen).  in the evenings, i use Burts Bees cleansing cloths and a serum that helps with blackheads.  

EVOO is actually fantastic for removing makeup and moisturizing the skin. Most high end products include evoo in it, but it’s always good to go straight for the raw natural stuff.
I would use evoo if it wasn’t too messy to handle. I used to love using Manuka Honey and aspirin masks for blemish treatment. But though they are low cost and all natural, the time and effort it takes to prepare/clean up is not worth it to me. I stick to dermatologist prescription acne meds now and raw shea butter for moisturizing.

Olive oil makes me itch, but almond oil is great for removing makeup. Hm, I don’t think I have any strange beauty rituals. As for how far I’d go- as for money, I’ve dropped quite a bit trying to get rid of my acne (it’s going away now, after some diet changes), for makeup, for skin care. I wouldn’t put myself in debt or anything, but a significant portion of disposable income goes to beauty products.

Surgical procedures I would drop down some deniro for:

scar removal surgerypost-acne removal procedureprofessional teeth whitening and invisalignlaser hair removal surgery 
I would recommend any product from the Body Shop for make up and make up removal.

I would really love to do laser hair removal on my arms and legs. And my skin is so stubborn I don’t really think home remedies would work, I just stick to gentle soaps.

I’d be willing to do anything as long as it didn’t involve harming animals to do it.  Other than that.  I’m game.  Though I don’t want plastic surgery but thats only because there isn’t anything I want done not that I’m opposed to it.
