Issues with Oily Skin?

   So over the past 8 months I have noticed a significant difference in my skin. Up until now I have always had normal skin it was never to dry and and it was never to oily. Now towards the end of my day my face feels as though I lathered in oil. Not at all a good feeling and definitely not something that's easy to get used to. So I did a little research on the web and found these couple tips to help me out and I'll share it with you!

• Cleanse your face (no brainer right?!) , but do not over cleanse, no more than twice a day is necessary unless activities such as exercising call for it. Your body's production of oil is natural and by over cleansing you could actually cause your skin to produce even more oil than before, and we don't want that!  
• Clay or mud masks.Beauty experts say that by doing clay or mud mask treatments it can temporarily pull oil from pores and soak it up. This will in turn leave your face feeling clean and refreshed for several hours after.
• Oil blotting papers (My favorite!). You can find these handy little helpers at any local drug store and or grocery store cosmetic aisle. They come in several different types and can be spotted either by your facial washes or with the make-up and cosmetics!

 I hope that some of these tips help you all out there who are suffering from oily skin like me. Have a good one!

Make-up Brushes vs. Paint Brushes

So do you love make-up brushes but you can't afford to spend lots of money on them? Well this may be an answer to your problem. Try going to your local arts and crafts store and check out some paint/art brushes and you just might be surprised that some (not all) art brushes are very similar to some make-up brushes, but for a lot cheaper. So before you purchase that make-up brush saw at your cosmetic store, go down to your local arts and crafts store, and see what you find. Good luck!
