I was so happy when I was hired as a restaurant manager a while back (no longer my job) but I did not realize the responsibilities that would come with such a position. While I am used to working 8-9 hours a day, managing a restaurant required me to work 12-13 hour work days, school demanded academic responsibilities, and personal relationships demanded time. Most of you can relate to this hustle and bustle of life regardless of who you are and what you do. You can be a full time mom, employee, student, a full time student and an athlete, a mom with 2 kids and a third one its way, starting a new career, etc... You think that you might be able to smile away the chaos of your life and that no one will know. Well ladies, you are wrong. The tension shows on your face; it can truly reveal the internal struggles on the outside. One can tell that you have been ignoring facial care, you are tired, and stressed. Don't let life lead you; you must lead life. This starts by taking care of yourself and that starts by taking care of your body. Face is a good place to start. Discover the ways to truly cleanse your face and shine!
Steps to CLEANSE:
1. Steam:
Take a washcloth, soak it in hot water, squeeze the water, and let it rest on your face for 60 seconds.
OR Pour some hot water into a big bowl and bring your face close just enough to be able to feel the hot steam on your face. Steaming the face is important because it allows the pores to open up and this will allow the cleanser to clean deeply within the pores!
2. Remove make-up and dirt
It is a common misconception to think that this step is the final step to facial cleansing because it is not. Because you have been out and about all day and have been either wearing make-up or been exposed to smog, smoke, oil and dirt; your face is covered in these chemicals. Yuck! It is important to use a good make-up remover that suits your skin type. POND'S is a great product for almost all skin types. POND'S is not paying me to say this so it is not a sales pitch but this product works! I use it every night. After steaming my face, I apply the cream and then use either the washcloth I used to steam or a cotton ball to wipe the cream from my face. Now I am ready for the next step! But before I tell you the next step, I want you to take a look at all the amazing ingredients POND'S use. Click on the link below to understand how and why POND'S work for me, my best friend Melissa, and so many other people that I know! You can buy this from Target, CVS Pharmacy, almost any store for a reasonable price!Note: Do not skip this step if you don't use make up. POND'S is a great make-up and a dirt remover product.

4. TONE
Find a toner to tone your face! Using a simple yet good toner will allow to clean any left over dirt and minimize the visibility of pores!
5. Moisturize
Don't think it is okay to got to bed or start your day after washing your face. You need to moisturize and hydrate your face. Moisturizing your face daily will allow your face to glow, look firm, toned, and healthy! Find a moisturizer that works for you! Vaseline is a great moisturizer that is sold at a reasonable price. I love vaseline products because they are simple and they work! Especially the new Vaseline products rick in cocoa butter. I use Vaseline Body Lotion (in the picture) not only for my body but also for my face. This lotion is a face, neck, and body lotion. To learn more about Vaseline products visit: www.vaseline.com
I hope you will follow these steps to clean your face and keep in mind, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars for face wash, moisturizers, and cleansers. The products above are under $20!

3. Wash
Choose a good cleanser that cleans your face, enhances your complexion, gives you even tone, and gives your face a smooth feel. I have been using "Oil-Free Acne Wash" Neutrogena product for years now. This product can be used and should be used to prevent acne. Don't wait till you get a pimple to use it. I can honestly say that I have less then 20 pimples in my life so far. This might be a result of genetics but it could also be that I have always used this product and maybe that is the reason for my rare pimples or lack of frequent pimples because it does what it's label says, "fight acne"! So again, find a cleanser that works for you!
