How I Use Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Toner

Neutrogena is a popular brand and I've jumped on the bandwagon too by trying the

Acne Stress control.

I love the Cosrx BHA power liquid toner and it will always be my favorite but I want to give other products a chance. 

I've been breaking out for almost a week now and because I haven't used any chemical exfoliating products, I decided to use this chance to test the toner. After washing the face, I poured out the toner on cotton pad and swept my face with it. I allowed about 45 minutes before using Life Flo Rosehip oil.

I loved the dryness I had on the face when I was applying the oil as that meant the skin had absorbed the toner. 

The Acne Stress Control toner has fragrance and that's the one thing I don't fancy in toners. 

I've had a lot of pregnant women asking for products to treat their skin therfore I'll be paying attention to these questions. In the meantime, I'm still looking out for friendly pregnancy products to create a post for my pregnant readers hence another reason for testing this. The salicylic acid content is 2% and unfortunately, it's not advisable to use this if you are pregnant.

For acne treatment during pregnancy, I've found Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide to be recommended products along with sugar scrubs. I'm looking into some Korean Beauty sugar scrubs so stay tuned.

How I make forever Clair Skin care products work for me

I've heard ladies complain about the forever Claire Skin care products  not working for them. Well, I nearly became one until I tweaked how I use it and since then, it's been a jolly good ride. I started using the Forever Claire products in July 2013 or so. What I've been doing is to using a cleanser first before applying any of the products. Well, I discovered the reason why the product didn't seem to be working well on its own. When using the cleanser, I'll dab a bit of cotton in it to clean my face. Apparently, it wasn't the cleanser that was doing the work, it was the cotton. The cotton was getting rid of dead cells by acting as an "exfoliating" material. It was cleaning the skin surface. One evening, I skipped the cleansing and decided to follow Hubby's method of cleaning his face. I used my sponge to gently rub the FC product on the face. This face scrubbing technique left my skin feeling soft and smooth just like when I use the cotton and cl...

The 60 Seconds Skin Care Rule

The 60 seconds rule regarding washing your face is a great technique that has been used by a lot of skin care addicts.  When washing your face, the one trick that can make a lot of difference in your skin is washing for 60 seconds! Once you apply your facial wash/cleanser/soap, you massage or sweep it around your face for 60 seconds. This allows the cleanser to penetrate the pores and clear the dirt off your skin. All the make up  can also be easily absorbed by your cleansing oil too. I began doing this technique a few weeks ago and it's definitely helped improve the feel of my skin after cleansing.  (check shop.ghanaianemprezz.com for all skin care products)
