If you are like me you hate to wake up with a surprise staring at you in the mirror. Those pesky blemishes that seem to pop up on the worst day possible where we want to look flawless. Here are some tips to deal with your morning surprise.
After cleansing , toning and moisturizing your skin, and your face is prepped and ready. Apply your concealer, directly to the problem area and hold it for a minute with your finger. Please don't rub the concealer into the blemish as the heat from your finger tips will help the concealer blend into your skin. Ensure that the concealer is placed only on the blemish and not the outer areas as it needs to be detailed.
The next step after the concealer application is to proceed to applying your foundation all over your face, after which you will set it with loose powder.

I have been on a mission exploring alternative ways of treating the skin, to see if I would get better results while keeping it natural. Many of us suffer from discoloration >myself included, whether it is due to hyper pigmentation from the sun or spots from blemishes. Here are natural approaches you can take to lighten and even out your skin.
Lemon Juice
The acidity found in lemons can help to maintain the PH levels of the skin. The citric acid in the lemons help to lighten your skin naturally. Start out by applying the lemon juice to your skin and let it sit for awhile and then rinse. Remember to wash off the lemon juice before going out in the sun as it can ruin your skin tone..
Oatmeal
Oatmeal is another ingredient that is good to even out skin tone as it acts as an exfoliating agent, that breaks up the dirt and removes the dead skin cells that have built up. To get the oatmeal ready add some honey to the oatmeal and mix into a paste then apply it to your skin, leaving it there for a few minutes before rubbing with your fingers. After this is done, rinse your face, moisturize and add sunscreen .
