Let yourself breathe deeply

Hey there!

Today I took a deep breath. I took in the fresh air, green grass, rolling hills, and the warm sun.

The grey fog dispersed and revealed a beautiful gem in the sky. I stared into the light blue sky and watched the clouds float by. I sat on the grass for the first time on campus. I should take more moments out of my day to go for a run on a beautiful trail, or do my homework on the lush green grass.

I received my Olay Professionals ProX cleansing tool. It is like a dupe of the Clarisonic face tool. A lot of people rave about how amazing the Clarisonic is but it isn't cheap. So I went on amazon and bought the Olay one for $23 bucks. I bought it because my sister had one and recommended it to me. It is a little rough at first but my skin feels silky smooth after. I definitely recommend it to anyone who doesn't have super sensitive skin and would like to try a face brush cleansing tool for a deeper clean. It claims to clean 6x better than manually cleansing with your hands. I definitely agree. I like using the Olay tool with the deep clean invigorating face wash.

Here is the link from Amazon:

I have a Prime account, so I bought the one with 2 day shipping free. The one that is out of stock also offers $3 dollars off.

the face wash that came with the tool

 

the tool comes with 2 AA batteries

 The tool isn't too heavy which I like a lot.

Do you guys think I should do a review on this on Youtube?

Best Skin Care Tips for Summer

Summer ushers in harsh rays and dry heat that tend to wreck havoc on our skin. A little negligence could find a constellation of blemishes, rashes, dryness and bad tans looking back in the mirror.

Lucky for us, summer also brings a great variety of juicy fruits and veggies to combat the heat with. Here are some pointers to say goodbye to damaged skin this season.

Moisture & Moisturisers
Don’t forget to drink plenty of good ol’ H2O to keep your skin fresh during the rising mercury. Though the suggested dose is 8 glasses a day, there’s no such thing as too much water. Also, remember to carry a trusty sunscreen along (SPF 15 or higher) to keep your skin safe from those nasty UV rays. Reapply and Rehydrate regularly.

Facials & Face Masks
Facials are essential during the summers as it not only deep cleans but also exfoliates the top layer of dry skin. Opt for Fruit Facials to keep your skin hydrated and avoid hot facial steams as they may dry out your skin. Try using a high concentration of essential oils that will help to stimulate circulation in your skin and open your pores.

Juice it
Fruits with high water content like watermelon, lemon, papaya and tomato are great ways to make hydration tastier. Add some bell peppers, cucumbers and carrots to your diet as each of these have over 90% water content. Swap high sugar based juices for cranberry juice this season and treat your skin to a healthier time.

Sleep Tight
Make best use of the time the sun’s away and spend your nights catching up on sleep. 8 hours of stress free time is the best way to say bye-bye to wrinkles and sags. Wake up to a cool shower instead of a hot water bath which is very harsh on the skin and find yourself energized and glowing the rest of the day.
