Clear Acne Overnight (DIY At Home Facial) – How To Do a Professional Facial at Home

​Many people claim regular facials are critical to their healthy skin. Some people go regularly for facials, some go monthly, some only go when they are having serious with their skin or some do not go at all!

If you can afford it, I would definitely try a good facialist from time to time. It’s great to get professional hands on your skin and also just feels really nice to treat yourself from time to time. However, I know I do not want to spend 100s to 1,000s of dollars on things I can do at home.

There are 1,000s of DIY recipes known today that can be done just in the comfort of your home. I know many homemade recipes and store bought products that are very similar, if not identical to the same procedures done in a cosmetic office. Depending on your skin concerns, the following options can give you really great results at home when done correctly and regularly:

​Professional Service: Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are just chemicals applied to the skin to who help peel and rejuvenate the skin. This can help immensely with acne, dark spots, uneven skin tone, wrinkles, etc. The intensity of a peel can vary from gentle to very intense. Some peels may cause minuscule peeling not seen by the visible eye and some peels can make you peel in sheets like a snake! It’s important to research different types of peels to determine which one is right for you.
​My favorite peels are from Make-Up Artist Choice. I highly recommend their products.
​

Average Professional Cost: $600-$900
MUAC: About $20

Professional Service: Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical procedure. It uses a micro-crystal device to exfoliate the top layer of the skin.. With continual use, fresher, softer and more even toned skin will appear.

I got professional microdermabrasion done before and I really loved it. I also got pretty good results using an at home system and microdermabrasion scrubs as well.

Average Professional Cost: $75-$200 per session
Personal Microderm System: About $160
Microdermabrasion Scrubs: About $20

Professional Service: Light Therapy

Picture
Light-emitting diode (LED) therapy is a treatment that uses blue or red LED lighting to help target skin concerns. Blue light is used to kill bacteria on the skin; great for acne. Red light therapy is used to diminish wrinkles.

I’ve had blue light therapy done when I was teen and it was very effective in killing bacteria. Nowadays, you can get your own system at home to use whenever you like. Prices vary.

Average Professional Cost: $35-300 per session
At-Home Systems: About $30 and up

Professional Service: Dermarolling

Average Professional Cost: $125

​A facial session may also include different masks targeted for your skin type, steamers, and pore extraction treatments. These treatments can be done yourself in the comfort of your own home. 
There are 1,000s of DIY recipes, notable store masks and tools that can achieve the same thin

TIP:

​For a good steam session: Boil a pot of boiling water, covering your head with a towel hold your head over the pot for a good 5-20 mins. You can also steep some green tea or essentials oils in the water to help rejuvenate your pores!

3/16/2016

0 Comments

 
  • HOT BODY – Lose those last 10 lbs..
    • Like Drake says, I’m just trying to drop those last 10 pounds preparing for summer!
    • Develop a solid meal plan & fitness routine that I will enjoy and will keep me on track
  • CLEAR SKIN! – nobody wants to be wearing tons of foundation in the hot summer just for it to melt off your face
    • Really clear my skin and remove any dark spots (face & body)
    • Go back to my in-depth skincare routine (peels, microdermabrasion, masks, etc.)
  • $$$ & FUN – time to save money so I can splurge on a few vacations for summer and actually enjoy spending time with family and friends
    • Start planning a trip or two to really enjoy my summer
    • Increase my monthly savings
  • Looking BOMB! – have to admit I’ve been very relaxed when it comes to my fashion sense these past months. Just buying a few items here and there and not really taking much effort in how I dress.
    • I really want to focus on building my attire for summer: heels, sandals, tops, shorts, dresses, etc. Tired of wearing the same clothes all the time :)
    • Really start putting different outfits & lookbooks together to share on my blog/YouTube
  • DREAMS & Aspirations – I really want to continue working hard on my career goals.
    • Become more consistent with my blog and YouTube content while enhancing quality
    • Also focus on my current career goals: look into going back to school (summer school?), really focusing on personal online training to grow my technical aptitude and skills
 
So these are my overall goals for the summer that I am really trying to start focusing on now. Please let me know if you would like a detail plan on some of these goals and I will be happy to write a blog post or create a video on it. What are some of your goals for summer?

•    AHA+ – acne treatment I use on my entire face daily
•    “Treatment” – acne treatment I only use on part of my face (I’m actually allergic to benzoyl peroxide and other leading ingredients in most acne products so I use products sparingly”)
•    ​.05 % Retin-A – helps with rejuvenating of the skin, dead skin turnover, acne, dark spots. I use this almost every night. I also use different percentages for different reasons.

Derma-Rolling / Micro-Needling : How-to

9/23/2015

0 Comments

 
Picture
Hi again!

I’ve recently bought a couple of derma-rollers to help with some acne scars, even my skin tone, and to kick up my current skincare routine!


WHAT IS DERMAROLLING?

A skin needling device with many small surgical needles that come in many different shapes and sizes and qualities.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Typically, you use the device to literally roll over your face and cause superficial “injures” to the skin. This in returns tricks your skin into producing more collagen, as it thinks there is damage to the skin. You can use this on your face and body.

Main Benefits:

·         Generate more collagen to the skin

·         Even skin tone and help the texture of your skin

·         Minimizes hyperpigmentation, acne scars, cellulite & stretch marks

·         Better absorption of skin care products

HOW-TO: You want to roll over the area of skin you are targeting up and down about 5 times or so WITH THE CORRECT ROLLER SIZE. Be sure to not go over active pimples, ruptured pimples or active wounds. Then typically you want to use a vitamin c serum after you have dermarolled for great collagen production. (You’re face be a little red and the serum may sting a bit, please patch test and do what you think is best for your skin type) Also, please do not use any aggressive skin care products after dermarolling as it may really sting or damage your skin such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, retin-a, etc. Use those items on the days you are not dermarolling.

Roller sizes, the number of needles and quality of the tool will vary.

I bought a .5 mm for my face and a 1.0 mm for my body from an amazon seller, example below:
Amazon Dermaroller
**Please note I bought these rollers at my own discretion (mostly because of the great price  - around $15)**

Here are some notable and popular derma-roller/micro-needling sets you can also check out:

DOES IT HURT?

I would not say it hurts, not to me. It may be just an uncomfortable feeling at first, but then you get used to it. When I used it for the first time, I used slight but gentle pressure and it did not hurt to me a bit.

RESULTS

I have only used the derma-roller once on my face with the .5mm, so I can only give my initial opinions. Quite honestly, I LOVED IT! My face was slightly red after using it and the serum stung a slight bit, but nothing out of the ordinary for me, as it calmed down shortly after. What I really loved most is how well it made my serum absorb into my skin and how it gave my skin a luminescent effect. The next day I definitely noticed my skin being brighter, not a huge difference, but definitely looked brighter. I can wait to use this continuously (possibly twice a week) along with some great skin care products to give my final opinion and results.

TIPS:

·         Depending on the quality of your roller, be sure to replace it with a new one about every 3 months (can hold bacteria and/or needle quality can diminish and damage skin)

·         Be sure to clean and sterilize your roller after every use

·         Don’t apply too heavy of pressure (could cause bleeding)

·         Track your progress

·         Don’t overdo it

·         Have fun!
