Chic Beauty And Fashion

I love this necklace. The colors are earthy yet bold- muted yet slightly "look at me." This would be a great piece with neutral colored clothing. I found this necklace on Amazon.com. I didn’t even know they sold jewelry! I was surprised that I found several pieces of jewelry on Amazon’s site that I really liked.

I recently switched from Clinique’s moisturizing gel to Aveeno calming moisturizer. Clinique’s moisturizer made my skin red and blotchy after using it for a couple of months. Aveeno’s calming moisturizer eliminated the redness.

I chose an Aveeno moisturizer because I have used Aveeno’s products in the past and loved them. They are more affordable than Clinique’s and work just as well… sometimes better.

Clinique has a new skincare line for acne! I have used some of the products but would love to try them all!!! Some products contain salicylic acid, some Benzyl Peroxide. Two medications are better than one!

Clinique’s website has some great information too! I didn’t know that dead skin cells and excess oil were the culprits in pimples!!! Dead skin cells and oil collect and clog a pore. Bacterias grow easily in an environment that lacks oxygen. This creates a pimple!

My skin is combination… I though combination dry, but my moisturizer lead to breakouts. I later learned that combination oily skin can feel tight also… and the tightness doesn’t necessarily mean your skin is dry.

I use Clinique’s face wash, the liquid facial wash, and Acne Solutions Cleansing Foam morning and night. My skin feels tight afterwards. I used the moisturizing lotion for a while when I thought tightness meant my skin was dry. I kept breaking out… so I switched to the moisturizing gel. This didn’t moisturize my skin enough. A specialist at the Clinique counter told me that my facial tightness may mean that I need to exfoliate.
