Are You a Sleeping Beauty?

3/26/2015

We've all experienced it, late nights full face of make up and way too tired to wipe it off. We know it's not the best idea but we do it anyway because we're too lazy. I've been there but I've trained myself to wipe it off to avoid the effects of long-term skin damage in the future.

Leaving make-up on at night can cause problems with the skin that we all don't want. Make-up can clog your pores and lead to terrible break-outs that we're always trying to avoid. Also the build up of make-up transfers onto your pillow. Let's be real...No one wants a dirty pillow, pillows already hold enough bacteria but adding the make-up residue is not any better. Each time you decide to sleep in your make-up your pores become more clogged. These can cause long-term damage of the skin and unwanted breakouts.

Ways that I helped myself to create the habit of wiping off my make-up daily and after long nights are by making the process simple and quick! Here's a few tips that has helped me along the way!

Buying Make-up Remover Towelettes

These has helped me tremendously! When I'm tired and don't feel like using face wash or liquid remover, I can just grab a wipe and keep it moving.

Buying a Clarisonic

Okaaaay, I know this is not the cheapest cleanser on the market. But when I say this thing has made my skin change dramatically, it has. The results are great. I look forward to using it daily.

Buying a Cleanser That Works for My Skin

You don't have to buy an expensive cleanser to get the results you want. We all have different skin types, so it may take some trial and error to get the right cleanser for you. Once you find the right one for you, you'll love using it because the results are beneficial.

No One Wants a Pimple!

Break-outs suck, nobody wants a pimple.. Luckily, I've been blessed with skin that does not tend to break-out BUT there's always that day when our skin does not want to agree with us. What helps me is my determination to prevent long-term skin damage. Clogged pores are no good and we can avoid them by removing that make-up ladies!

The Real Talks Bullying

We all may have experienced it and we all know how difficult it can be for someone to deal with bullying. Seeing the host of the show The Real discuss bullying was very touching. Many may think stars don't have feelings but just like the rest of us they feel too.

During the show, Tamar expressed how she doesn't have advice for her son when it comes to bullying, she instantly broke into tears exclaiming how she is still dealing with bullying today. Its sad to say as humans sometimes we can be the most cruel and judgmental beings. Social media allows for people to bully others without having to deal with the consequences. Often times as I scroll through my timeline or look in a celebrity comments on Instagram there's negative comments. I often think to myself "Wow.. do people really have the time to sit and be so negative?". Clearly they do, which is sad and that's why seeing these women address the issue on national television is so heart-warming. The issue hits close to home for the ladies on The Real and I'm sure the rest of us can relate as well.

As women it's time to start uplifting each other and encouraging each other. Being judgmental and negative will not help you advance or no one else. We all have insecurities and things we are dealing with and that's why having the support from others will help us overcome these things.

Lastly, if you or anyone else you may know is experiencing bullying do not stay silent. Tell others around you to get support. Below I placed a link to stopbullying.gov, check it out and get informed on cyber bullying. Also check out the clip from The Real below.
