Stressed.

With exams coming in about 37 more days, I am way beyond busy and stressed out.

Pimples are now finding a home on my face and there are days of sleepless nights.

How to get rid of those pesky enemies?

First off, NEVER pop them, no matter how tempting it is! There’s a chance of it leaving a scar, and that is not glamorous. Second, wash your face, but don’t over-wash it! It’ll get rid of the natural oils your face has and your skin will be all dry and that ain’t anything good. Thirdly, destress! But isn’t it true that everyone would say “exercise, yoga etcetc” c’mon, ain’t nobody got time for that!

So here’s how :

{ Honey, Aspirin and water }
Mix several regular aspirins with a small amount of water. Be sure you fully crush the aspirin into a powder form to achieve the full effect.
Add one teaspoon of honey, which acts an antibacterial agent and it will also soften and moisten the skin.
Leave mask on your face for up to 15 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
This mask would be a salicylic acid one, and it’ll help get rid of those unwanted pests.

{ Oatmeal mask }
Combine one cup of regular oatmeal (not steel cut) with 2/3 cup of boiling hot water. Mix well and then allow the oatmeal to cool because you don’t want to burn your skin!
Add ¼ cup of honey to the cooled oatmeal, the honey will act as an antibacterial and moisturizing agent.
Then apply to clean skin and allow it to dry for up to 20 minutes. Rinse well with mild soap and warm water.
The starch in oatmeal will help to moisturize the skin and remove excess oil! Win.

What about those dark circles that make you seem like you haven’t slept in 100 years?

{ Get your sleep }
Lets face it, ain’t nobody got time for that.

{ Cucumber slices }
Cut a few thin – medium slices of cucumber, put it in the fridge to cool till it’s nicely cold then place it over your eyes for 10-15 minutes while lying down. For some reason, if you want to use tomatoes because of the water content as well, DONT. It stings.

{ frozen spoon }
Get a frozen spoon and put it over your dark circles for 10-15 minutes till it’s warm.

I hope those tips were a good idea and help for those who needs help in the pimple and dark circles area! If you want more of these type of posts, comment below!

By the way I was just watching Blurred Lines and I have to say Robin Thicke has amazing blue eyes, after Bradley Cooper. And I bet those girls were models because of the tooth gap and prominent cheekbones.
