Heading Pimples Off at the Pass #Eclipse_Blemish_Solution

Hello, Fireflies!

Oily skin has meant for me that pimples weren't just a part of puberty.  I still deal with them, and it gets frustrating!  Spot treating an already erupted pimple means days of redness, and crusty areas that are hard to cover with concealer.  So, I've been trying to head the pimples off at the pass with Eclipse Blemish Solution.

Hello, Fireflies!

Like a magpie to shiny, if a product claims to control blemishes without drying out my aging skin, I'm all over that.  I love natural products that nourish and protect my face, while regulating my oil control and zapping zits.  Will I be on Cloud 9 after using this moisturizer?

Hello, Fireflies!

As a woman over 40, I fully expected to be dealing with skin aging issues - dullness, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation.  I didn't expect to still be dealing with pimples and blemishes.  I felt like an alien - an old broad with teenage zits.  My first reaction was to deal with the pimples the same way I did when I was a kid - drying tonics.  Sure, some of them work as spot treatments, but drying out all of my skin is bad.  Now I know that my oily skin still needs moisture, and that the balance of oil - along with knocking out the pimple-causing bacteria - is the way to keep my skin looking better over the long term.

Hello, Fireflies!

Ugh, pimples.  I never thought I'd be dealing with them this late in the game, but I am.  And the struggle is real to find products that work, don't over-dry my aging skin, and that I can incorporate easily into my skincare routine.

Hello, Fireflies!

One of the best things I discovered about skincare was the power of serums.  And, the more powerful, the better! With my oily skin, I can't put on a heavy or rich moisturizer without breaking out, but I can apply these concentrated serums and get powerful, concentrated ingredients where they need to be without the blemishes.  This Skin Clearing Serum from Radha Beauty promises lots of skin-loving ingredients, plus help getting rid of my existing blemishes - sounds like WIN all 'round!

Hello, Fireflies!

As little as a year ago, I felt like the only woman on the planet over 40 still getting pimples.  I know now that pimples don't end with puberty, and there are lots of different skin types out there with lots of different concerns.

I have to admit, since following the Tsecret oil cleansing method once a day, my skin has never been more clear, and if I skip a couple of days, I can tell the difference.  I still need blemish zapping and covering products in my arsenal, and I've gathered a few of my favorites to show you!

My Relaxin', Extractin', Zit-Zappin' Facial with T-secret (and a discount code!)

Hello, Fireflies!

If I've said it once, I've said it... well, a lot.  I have oily skin.  I have mostly thought of my oily skin as a problem - prone to blemishes, makes my makeup run off... but now, with a little help from Tsecret, I understand that oily skin is healthy skin - I just needed to learn how to take care of it!

Tsecret came from Tamahra’s Secret Skin Care Products.  Madame Tamahra, a French Chemist and Cosmetologist developed many of these recipes while living in Cuba - long before there were chemical treatments widely available for acne.  Tsecret still believes in the tenet of using natural ingredients to balance the skin, and their not-so-secret weapon?

Extractions.  Yep, this is not your regular massaging facial.

Hello, Fireflies!

I love testing lots of different makeup and skincare, but lately, I have found my self reaching for these 5 things when I want to make sure that my face looks the best that it can. 

I don't like a full-coverage makeup, usually, because I think it looks weird to not have any texture in the face, but I think that you could definitely add more coverage, especially with the foundation, if you wanted more coverage.
