Positively Pampering: How-To Facial

When you give yourself a facial, here are the 5 main things that you will need: cleanser, scrub, mask, toner, and moisturizer. Blurbing time!

1. Cleanser or Scrub-Now you can do either one first. I prefer to scrub first. After you remove your makeup or wake up, wash your face thoroughly with one of the items. Do not be harsh! Just keep working the cleanser or scrub into your skin and rinse very well. If you scrub first, then it will get all the dead skin cells off and make your cleanser work better, but is better if you do this first thing in the morning. If you use the cleanser first, then it gets makeup, dirt oil and that junk so that the scrub can work better.
2. Mask-'Tis the time to do the mask part of the facial. You can use one of Freeman's great masks like the Cucumber Peel-Off or the Avocado Oatmeal Clay Mask, or a mini one in the packets. There is the option of creating your own which is fun but can be hard! I suggest pressing a warm damp washcloth to your face for About 30 seconds to open the pores so the mask really works. Then apply a layer of the mask with a spatula or your fingers and wait for it to dry or get to the texture it needs to be to take off. To take off, if it is completely dry, use a moist towel with warm water to take it off. If it is not completely dry, use your fingers to get the majority or it off then use the same towel technique. Splash face with warm water.
3. Tone and Moisturize-After the mask is off, use a toner to clean any residue out of your pores and to prevent future breakouts. After this step, moisturize using a cream, facial lotion, or a pure coconut oil. Fan your face until you are refreshed and the lotion is dry.

I hope you enjoyed this Positively Pampering post and have a great day!

Review: ELF Therapeutic Lipbalm-Strawberry Creme

This is a pretty good lip balm.  It can feel greasy and I have some issues with the packaging but other than that its pretty nice.  It was only $1 at Target and ELF's website.  It used to have silver writing on it but after I used it about 3 times it all rubbed off!  The lid is okay, just be careful because it comes off fairly easily.  It twists up easily but is doesn't come up unless you want it to.

The color Strawberry Creme is a light baby/bubblegum pink shade.  As you see, it can be pigmented and is perfect for lightening your lips unless your are paler than this.  I don't bring this with me because it melts. I left is in the car for 30 minutes on an early fall afternoon and it was nearly liquid!  It would start melting inside of my pocket.  My suggestion: keep it for when you put on lip balm before your makeup and exfoliating.  It kind of makes your flakes stick out, making it easier to exfoliate.

I highly recommend this lip balm even though it has its down sides.

Pros: moisturizing, relatively pigmented, inexpensive, has multiple shades, smells/tasted good, perfect at home

Cons: can be greasy, melts easily, not portable

School Play

There were play tryouts last week and it is called The Gingerbreadman. There are only 14 caracters: Sally, Gingerbreadman, Fox, skunk, country Mouse, City Mouse, Aunt Mabel, Uncle Fred, narrator, cyotey, and a few more. I was not able to turn in a sheet that says that I will accept any part. I did not turn it in so i was not even able to even be thought about getting a part!!!!! =( But then if i do not do the play, i will be able to Dance!!!!!!!!!! =)

The bad thing is that i tore a muscle in my leg so now i cannot play volleyball =( But i have to have Physical Therapy. The good thing is that the Physical Therapy will count for my PE logs.
