Yogurt, rich in skin-repairing proteins, helps keep skin nourished and protected from the sun’s harmful rays while a blend of rice and camapu extract offers deep hydration and calming properties to soothe skin during sun exposure.

End of Summer Beauty Routine
It’s the end of summer and I am not sad! I am excited to transition into cozy sweaters and boots! While your closet is having a slight change, so should your beauty routine. For my hair, after my Keratin and Ombre treatments last 6 months – it is finally getting back to normal. I have been using restorative Aubrey Organics Green Tea Shampoo and then Frizz Ease Conditioner. Once the temperature drops, I will have to blow-dry my hair again. The Dove Dry Oil is the perfect finish for any kind of heat treatment. It is easy to use and I put it on the ends of my ponytail or braids to keep it moisturized.
After the summer, I probably won’t use BB cream as much and will use a heavier type of concealer and foundation. The best way to keep your face clean is use a family favorite. I will never forget the smell of Pond’s Cold Cream my mom used to use when I was young. This Pond’s Exfoliating cleanser is helping my skin transition into fall!

Acne Be Gone with @Obagi
Here it is, guys, the skincare solution you’ve been waiting for that takes care of pesky acne—Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. Systems!
More than just another promise (we’ve all seen the ads that claim to clear up acne but somehow never do), this three-step system includes everything your skin needs to penetrate deep into the skin and clear acne fast. FAST. We’re talking as short as 2-weeks fast. That’s pretty fast.
Obagi treatments work because they contain a patented, solubilized form of 5% benzoyl peroxide—in other words, the unique stuff used to create these toners and cleaners penetrate deep into the follicle and treats acne where it starts (under the surface).
I tried the Obagi CLENZIderm Normal-to-oily skin system. It comes with a foaming cleanser, pore therapy treatment and a therapeutic lotion.
What do I LOVE about it? Well, if you’ve ever touched a newborn baby’s skin, you’ll know how incredible soft it is. This is exactly what the Obagi system does. I’ve used the foaming cleanser everyday for a week and definitely feel the difference. I decided to use both the pore therapy treatment and lotion sparingly because this stuff is prescription-strength and my skin is super sensitive. But, wow. After using all three this evening, my skin feels like it wants to rejoice! It just feels clean. And I’ve used soaps and cleansers and wipes to try to achieve that super clean feeling before, but nothing comes close to Obagi.It’s powerful stuff so before you use Obagi’s CLENZIderm system, try all three products on a small patch of skin. I made a mistake and forgot to do this and my super-sensitive skin got quite the shock. But I’m going to continue using this three-step system because it’s just too good.
The Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. System is physician dispensed, so if you’re looking for a powerful and promising way of reducing acne and enjoying super smooth skin, give your doctor or dermatologist a call. Better yet, head on over to Obagi.com and they’ll give you a rundown of where you can pick it up.
