So you have acne and want to get rid of it? Let me ask you a question: do you what acne is? I know most people would say acne is that annoying and embarrassing skin condition that seems to appear at the oddest of times.
Well, you would be right in saying so but medically ‘acne is a skin condition (or disease if you want to call it that but technically it is not a disease) that results from the combined action of hormones and other substances present in the skin’s oil glands and hair follicles’. This leads to clogged pores which results in swellings thereby causing a person to breakout in acne lesions. Acne can sometimes be caused by bacteria. You may know acne as zit or pimples. It can be found on the face, neck chest, shoulders and back (known as bacne).
There are various masks that can be made from natural ingredients and that can be found in one’s kitchen (or can be bought in the grocery stores). These masks help improve your skin and thereby help prevent acne. Here are 4 of them that work wonders against acne and is trusted by a lot of acne sufferers (myself inclusive).
1. Honey mask: This is so easy to do. Just spread some honey on your face and leave it on for 30 minutes. Then wash off with lukewarm water. Don’t you love honey, it is good for your system and good for your skin.
2. Lemon juice: Lemon is a member of the citrus family and it contains a natural astringent that makes our skin look healthy and glowing by working with our skins natural oils. You can apply lemon juice on your face alone or mix it with green clay to form a paste and apply on your face. Rinse with lukewarm water after 20 minutes. You can also freshly squeezed orange juice if you can’t lay your hand on lemon juice.
3. Egg White Mask: This is great in preventing acne scars. To prepare this, simply crack an egg slightly at the top/end and keep the white in a cup. Beat the white with a fork until it is frothy, then apply it on your face with a small wad/ball of cotton wool or tissue (though cotton wool is far better) and allow to dry for about 15 minutes. Then wash off with water. You can add a little amount of lemon juice to the mask if you like.
4. Green Clay: I know what you might be thinking. GREEN CLAY? What is Green clay? It is a naturally mined clay that is actually more of gray in color with a hint of green. It contains natural ingredients that draw impurities from the skin and clears up acne. Intrigued? I am sure that the question you would be asking now is: where can I get it? Well, it can be found in health food stores or beauty supply stores. You can apply it on your skin as a paste made with it and a little amount of water or with lemon juice. Then wash off with water.
Well hope you are intrigued and start using any one of these homemade masks and join millions of people who have gotten rid of their acne. Something that you should note is that for these masks to work, you have to use natural ingredients (especially with the honey and lemon/orange juice. Use lemon / orange juices that you squeeze yourself). Natural ingredients make sure your skin heals well and gives it a fresh glow.
Well, that is 4 masks that you can try though there are many more that you can use. You can use these masks with some other acne treatments. Acne treatments that I use and recommend to people (who later thank me) include:
1.Revitol® Acne moisturizing Crème and Revitol® Acnezine Skin Antioxidant Capsules: Treats acne from outside and inside. Check out http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509
2. Murad Acne complex®: A complete system that does not contain benzoyl peroxide (for people who cannot stand benzoyl peroxide). Check out Acne Complex
3. For people who have got massive reminders that they once had acne like me (I am talking about spots), check out Revitol® Spot gel http://www.revitol.com/acne-spot-gel/?aid=490509 . It helps you get rid of spots and blemishes.
You can try any one (though I am partial to Revitol® Acnezine because of their free one month supply).
Remain beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

P.S: Did you like the dress that Michelle Obama wore on the Inauguration day? Personally I didn’t like the colour of the dress but the fitting on her was great. I Loved Jill Biden’s boots. And Obama kid’s gears were hot. Leave your comments on what you think about all what they wore including Obama. Love to hear from you.

HOW I AM COPING WITH MY ACNE
Hey you guys, i am in a kinda happy and sad mood. I am happy because i am finally going to be inducted as a pharmacist and sad because i have reminders of my nasty habit of picking my acne on my face (i.e spots/scars). I know now that my acne will clear after some days and when i use my acne treatment regularly but my major problem is the spots.
I really would love my face to be clear and smooth. Maybe i will use a whole lot of concealer on that day (thank God i am a girl and like make-up). Oh by the way, the date is 27th of january, 7 days after Obama would have been inaugurated (by God's Grace.
I really have to be consistent in using my spot removal gel even though i don't see how my spots would magically go away in about 10 days but a girl can dream. Can't she?
Oh well for those of you who don't know what acne treatment to use, let me recommend 3 hot products that you would love. They are :
1.Revitol® Acne moisturizing Crème and Revitol® Acnezine Skin Antioxidant Capsules: Treats acne from outside and inside. Check out http://www.revitol.com/product/overview/Acnezine_Acne_Solution/?aid=490509
2. Murad Acne complex®: A complete system that does not contain benzoyl peroxide (for people who cannot stand benzoyl peroxide). Check out Acne Complex

Hope you try anyone of them (though i am partial to Revitol products because of their freebies). Gotta run, have a whole lot of body pampering to do so that i can look my best on my induction day.
See ya next week. Remain beautifully blessed.
Your girl, Bim nubi.

CAN YOU BE ACNE FREE IN 3 DAYS?
That is a one billion dollar question that a lot of people will love to know the answer to (including myself). Well Chris Gibson seems to think by following an easy plan you can be acne free in 3 days. I don’t know if it truly works in helping with your acne but I do know that the plan contains steps that generally improve your health and help your skin.
Well I have decided to publish the article I saw on being acne free in 3 days (I am doing this not because I think that you can be acne free in 3 days but because I feel you would benefit on the long run when you follow the steps that has being stated). Hope you enjoy the article. See you at the other end.
ACNE FREE IN 3 DAYS
Does it seem like you’ve applied everything on your face to get rid of your acne? Apply Chris Gibson’s ‘Acne Free in 3 Days’ to your life now! Acne happens to everyone: adolescents, teenagers and adults. We get it, but we don’t really know how they get on our face. Acne can differ from mild to very severe. It is formed when skin ducts and oil glands work overtime.
The lining of the duct sheds cells and is moved to the outer layer of the skin. Once the skin duct gets clogged, oil is trapped underneath. The plug of a pore is called a comedo. A closed comedo (whitehead) is when a plug sits below the skin while an open comedo (blackhead) is pushed out to the surface of the skin. A blackhead has its name not because it contains dirt, but because of its darkness and difficulty in washing it away. Scientists believe that acne is hereditary, meaning if someone in your family had/has acne, the chances of getting acne for you are higher than one who does not have an acne history in their family.
Drinking a lot of water is a very important factor when it comes to getting rid of acne. Water has a pH of 7.3 and is a very natural acne treatment.
Drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day helps eliminate all the oil and waste toxins that may damage your skin. Water also moistens your skin and keeps your pores from clogging. With all that, it also helps you to lower your stress level and relax your body.
Here’s an easy plan you can follow daily with ‘Acne Free in 3 Days’:
1) Wash your face every morning and evening using a skin cleanser. This cleans off dead skin cells and excess oil that your body builds up. Make sure to use an antibacterial cleanser because it will kill all bacteria. Apply some hydrogen peroxide to inflamed areas.
2) Sleep on a clean pillow case to ensure none of the dead skin cells block your pores.
3) Eat lots of fruits, vegetables and drink lots of water. Water expels toxins in your body.
4) Exercise in fresh air everyday to let your body feed on sunlight to attain Vitamin D.
If you follow this simple routine along with all the great tips from ‘Acne Free in 3 days’, your acne will visibly clear up in three days!

P.S: I got a present from someone recently. It is a book that has inspirational quotes that would lift anyone up everyday so I have decided to publish one every week. This is the first one that would last throughout next week. Hope you think about it and try to be a better person.
Here goes: “Every day, we are given dozens of choices - from which foods to eat to which parts of the newspaper to read to which words to say in any given conversation. Many of those choices seem to be insignificant, but when you string them all together they determine the quality of our lives.”
