#36: Treat your skin to a facial to rejuvenate it. The facial must include a massage to improve blood circulation and promote the growth of new cells.
#37: We’re adventurous but it IS better to understand ur skin type before trying products & recipes to avoid ending up with a blotchy, red face!
#38: One of the most important things is to start with a very clean base, use a good quality cleaner to remove any of your existing makeup.
#39: “Beauty isn’t worth thinking about; what’s important is your mind. You don’t want a $50 haircut on a 50-cent head.” Garrison Keillor
#40: For clear skin slice off the top of a strawberry, rub it on a just-clean face. Wait 10 minutes, then rinse.

Why should I clean my face twice? That was my thought when I first heard about a process called “dual cleansing”!
If you’re like me, your cleaning routine (especially on a late night of partying) is to wipe off the eyes with some lotion and a cotton pad – after all, we’ve been conditioned to never go to bed with makeup on- splash some water and vigorously dry my face (instead of the gentle patting beauty experts recommend) to make sure everything is gone. Ha!
That clearly did not clean anything (if the eruption of pimples is any indication).
I started religiously washing my face with a nice, expensive cleanser, massaging everything diligently for 60 seconds only to discover traces of mascara or foundation on my pillowcase the next morning!
I was quite dubious of cleansing gels or “pre-cleansers” as they like to call them and yet, one day, decided to give it a try. After all, they were all the rage on makeupalley’s skincare board!
Well, let me tell you: it is the most effective way to really remove dirt before cleaning my skin without ripping my eyelashes off with the eye makeup remover (yes, I rubbed my eye lids with the cotton pad. How else am I supposed to do this?)
To my big surprise, cleansing gels remove EVERYTHING, not just my eye makeup: by massaging the gel into the skin, it blends with the makeup and other impurities and really lifts everything up. Wipe it off and follow with a cleanser (this will remove whatever is left) and you’re finally cleaning your face.
Dual cleansing is really the only way I’ve kept my skin clear. Just make sure you choose a cleansing oil or gel suitable for your skin type (there are plenty on the market, so every budget can find the appropriate one; but watch out ladies, I heard a dermatologist once say that if you don’t thoroughly rinse off the cleansing oil—it can lead to the clogging of pores and breaking out!) and voila: squeaky-clean skin…
And since you’re reading this blog, go have a look at our non-clogging, cleansing clear gel and follow it with the washing foam. All the info you need is at: http://www.marielouisecosmetics.com/products_cleansing_clear_gel.html

So…here I am…never thought that I would actually write about my beauty adventures…failures and successes? I had my first pimple when I was 11 and now many years later, after thousands (yes…I’m not exaggerating) of products, my skin seems finally under control. Well, at least most of the time. This has been a long journey and my skin is still changing from time to time depending on the weather, my moods, eating habits, sleeping patterns and mostly importantly the types of products I use to accommodate my Indecisive SKIN that seems to be always changing.
One of the first things I learned is that once damaged, repairing is really not that easy just like any relationships. Therefore, prevention is the key. No matter how many advertisements, commercials and sales people that assures you that their products are the best and will undo the damage either immediately or soon. Just remember that the damage was not made in a day, therefore, it will take much longer for your skin to heal. Why not start early and the first things that you can do is wear sunscreen. YES! I know, that’s it! I know, it sounds so simple but a lot of us including myself didn’t realize how much damages the sun could do to my skin until my late 20s. So, STOP BEING LAZY and just apply a layer of sunscreen before you go out!
