Skincare Tips:How to prevent pimples & dry skin

Hello! /hihi So this is actually the first ever post I'm doing about skincare.Why? Because during the past few weeks,I learned a lot about skincare and how important it is to take care of our skin.So this post is more for the girls than the guys (but if you're a guy,you're welcome to read too!)

Okay so enough with the long intro and let's get on to the skincare tips.

1.Drink plenty of water (as in lots and lots and lots of water)

I know I know,you all have heard this saying like a million times already but it is true.

Do you have dry skin?
If your answer is yes,it's probably because you haven't been keeping yourself hydrated enough.Overcoming this problem is easy,just drink lots of water.We already know that we should drink 6-8 glasses of water a day but is it really enough to keep us fully hydrated? Based on my findings,the answer is no.

I have been drinking 8 glasses of water a day but my skin is still dry.Maybe there are other possibilities but I'm pretty sure it's about the amount of water I drink *inserts favorite Whatsapp smiley here*.So what I did was I drank MORE THAN 8 GLASSES OF WATER A DAY.My Science teacher said that it can be dangerous to drink too much water but I figured that drinking a little bit more than the required limit can't hurt so I went for it.It made a huge difference.I really thought I always drank enough water but seeing the difference now,I realized I haven't!

So even if you think you already drink too much water everyday,try drinking a little bit more and you can see & feel the difference.I swear my skin is like 10x better now :D

2.Lotion

"Love Spell" by Body by Victoria.I used this and I finished  up the whole bottle! :))
My mom has lots of this.I love the smell!

Again,if you have dry skin or have easily-bruised skin,apply lotion.It will make a world of difference trust me.I started applying lotion to my body every now & then and I'm happy to say that my skin improved :)

Doesn't matter what kind or brand of lotion it is.

Right now,I'm currently using "Goats-milk Body Lotion".And yes,it is the lotion version of the Goats-milk soap :)) It even smells the same!











3.Sleep early

You have to sleep early even though the internet may not allow you to! :)) 

Advantages:

• keeps your body healthy & your heart happy! :D
• helps to keep your skin hydrated & glowing ;)
• your cells will multiply when you sleep and you'll get taller faster!
• your bones will become stronger & firmer
• it prevents pimples from breaking out in your face 
• reduces eye bags
• keeps your hair shiny
• makes your voice stronger (keeps your throat healthy)
• you will have more energy after you sleep early (because you got enough rest)

The advantages above are just some of it.There are plenty more.Yes I know it's hard to sleep early due to the cruel internet but try to :)

Repeat this on a daily basis and you should see & feel the difference.

4.Avoid touching your face

Especially if you have long nails and unclean hands.I know it's tempting to touch your face.I do it too.But try to avoid touching it.You'll prevent pimples this way.

Also,always wash your hands! And cut your nails once every week or so.Depending on how fast your nails grow.Remember,nails grow faster on cold weather.

5.Wash your face ONLY with water (if you have dry or sensitive skin)

If you have dry or sensitive skin,I'd recommend you to only wash your face with water and not with soap.And then after washing your face with water,you can proceed to your daily skincare routine.

6.Tie your hair (keep your hair out of your face)

This will prevent skin irritation.Yes,our face gets irritated easily.Especially when it comes to our hair.

7.Clean your hand-phone

What is the object that we always put near our face? Our hand-phones of course! It is very important to clean our hand-phones because if we don't,the oil & dirt from the phone can transfer to our face causing horrible breakouts.

So you might wanna clean your phone before putting it near your face to call someone.

*Helpful Tricks
Wanna get rid of pimples fast? There's a solution!

1.Toothpaste:Probably the most common solution out there.

Directions:Apply a dot of toothpaste to pimple-infected areas or to your whole face if you like (prevention) :)) Warning! It burns like hell mahn.Try to bear with it.Beauty is pain lol :)) Try to leave it for a minute (if you can :P) or for a short while then wash it off.Keep repeating this process everyday or twice a week and you will see the difference ;)

2.Salt Solution:I just discovered this when I was browsing the web and fortunately,it's painless.

You'll need:a mug filled with lukewarm water,2 tablespoons of salt,cotton balls.

Directions:Add 2 tablespoons of salt in the mug together with the lukewarm water.Stir.I'd recommend doing this when you're taking a bath because it can be quite messy.Get the cotton balls.Dip the cotton balls in the mug and then squeeze off the excess water and apply the cotton ball directly in the pimple and hold it there for a few minutes.

Keep repeating this process for as many times as you'd like.

**Don't dip the same cotton ball twice in the mug.

That's all I have (or I can remember) for the skincare tips.Will try to post a part 2 soon (if I'm not lazy) :))

If all else fails,remember,YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL :x

Love,
Andrea <3

Blog Renovation:Part 2

yo! :)

how you all doing? *friendly smile* I hope you guys are having a wonderful day because I am :D Praise the Lord! O:) heheh

so as you all know,I renovated my blog just yesterday and tbh,there were some parts I wasn't quiet satisfied with such as my custom background,glitter texts,blog sidebar picture,cursor and the bird cage.


So I did some minor changes:

• changed my blog background to something more feminine & prettier (same pictures though,I just changed the size and layout) :)) DONE!

• removed the birdcage because it was interfering with my nav bar so poof! I respect Blogger so much I can't bear taking away their nav bar :)) DONE!

• edited my sidebar profile picture so it looks clearer & sharper :) yes it's still the same picture but the previous one was kinda hazy & blur so for your eyes' convenience,I edited it :D *good guy Greg* :)) that was a 9gag reference btw :P

• GLITTER TEXT!! I know I've said in my previous post that it didn't really bother me even though it had the site's watermark but when I visited my favorite & usual glitter text palace today,it was well & working! :D I was delighted! :)) Thank you Lord! :x It had some errors the day before but due to high hopes & faith,I managed to create a new batch of glitter texts from their site.Much more clearer,prettier,cooler,awesomer glitter texts.I love! <3 <3 <3 and what more? it has no watermark! super generous of the site for making their glitter text app free :D thank you so much! you all deserve standing ovations! ;) =D> =D> =D>

• and I'm still looking for the perfect cursor but meanwhile,enjoy the cute rainbow ;;)

thanks for the support guys! \m/

you all deserve standing ovations too! =D> =D> =D> heheh

B-) the only bad thing I guess is their watermark? but overall it doesn't bother me much :) and I changed my romantic & beautiful falling red petals to a birdcage! :)) I love it! :x It matches the little blue Twitter bird.Nao it haz a companion! :D (and a cage to live in :P lol)

I also changed my cursor to rainbow because rainbow rocks! :D

HAPPY DANCE! =))

✧ Twilight ✧

The first Twilight movie I ever saw was Eclipse.I remember 2 of my friends taking me to the cinema to watch the movie because back then,I didn't have a clue on what Twilight was.:)).But what I do know is that a lot of people actually watch it and it's pretty popular.So I went with my friends to watch Eclipse.

To tell you the truth I kinda felt awkward and giddy whenever Bella & Edward kisses because I was like,only 12 or 13 at that time? I shudder every time they get romantic lol :)) But now I fully understand what Twilight is about.Obviously it's about vampires and a mortal girl falling in love with the sexiest vampire ever which is Edward.Edward is an extremely good-looking vampire.I actually love all of them.Even Carlisle is handsome! :))

Also,I didn't know that there were books about the Twilight Saga.Like 4 big-ass books.The books are incredibly thick.Like super thick.People who are determined or has a lot of free time on their hands wouldn't have a hard time finishing reading even one book.Even so,the book is really really thick.So I guess you can only finish reading it if you're a serious bookworm like me ;) or my friend Vanessa.

So when Vanessa brought her Twilight book to class I was like "omg omg omg"......................nonstop.I hadn't been able to read even one book of Twilight because I can't afford to buy it.That's what I get for being a foolish spender.Anyways,Vanessa lent me her Breaking Dawn book after I kept asking her repeatedly if I could read her Twilight book.She saw how obsessed I was and she lent it to me.Thank you Vanessa! :D

Anyways,I'm almost finished reading the book.Took me around 2-3 days? Serious.It was a good read.Great stuff.It's helpful if you wanna learn more English words.

I also asked Vanessa to make a fanfic for me & Edward :P She said yes of course.I asked her to make a fanfic for me when she asked me to check for grammar mistakes in the fanfics she wrote for our friends.

So yeah,I can't wait to read the fanfic about me & Edward :P

I LOVE EDWARD CULLEN :x :x :x I LOVE YOU TOO ROBERT PATTINSON! <3 <3 <3


I love all of the Twilight Cast.Alice,Jasper,Rosalie,Emmett,Carlisle,Esme,Charlie,Bella,Jacob,Renesmee and everyone else ;) And oh,I love you too Seth! ;) :x :x :x

As I end this,here's a Twilight gif for your eyes to feast upon...haha jk! :))

Awwwwwwwwww this is soooooooo sweet! :') I want a boyfriend just like Edward Cullen :P HAHA

Goodnight everyone! ♥ Have a pleasant dream :)
