I recently got a chemical peel and I am in love. My friend Jade did it and she did an amazing job and she also extracted all my clogged pores and what not! I am going to start having her extract and give me a chemical peel once a month so I can get my skin back into shape!
If you read my blog you know I am head over heels for my sugar scrubs. I scrub my face with sugar every day before I put my make up on and it helps it go on a million times smoother and prettier. Usually I scrub with sugar and water (apply water to your face then dab sugar all over your face and scrub!) then I will use a moisturizer But I decided to try something a little different, I bought baby oil with shea butter in it and I have been getting my face wet, rubbing the oil on, then pouring sugar into my hands and applying it to my face and scrubbing! The sugar scrub with water I do daily, but it is nice to do this scrub with the oil once or twice a week to exfoliate and really moisturize my skin. I also use it to scrub my lips and hands daily and the rest of my body about once a week.
This is the oil I have been using, but really, any oil will work! I also love peppermint oil from Target and tea tree oil! I will probably just rotate between those three since my face gets used to a certain kind!
I finally saw Hunger Games! We had to sit dead front row… but it was worth it.
{Peeta should have been hotter….}
oh and also.. I just did a photoshoot with the amazing Camilla Binks in this outfit.. so excited to see them.
Love you blog! Maybe be dumb but do you wash your face with anything after the sugar? Has is broke you out? I was just wondering because I have sensitive skin..and was also interested in the baby oil thing you posted. My only fear is it breaking me out. I take it you haven’t had any problems.
Hey I am at the gem faire and they have those neon skull beads in strands from the danijo if you respond to me ill buy you some and mail em to ya jewelry text me 8017926693
Gotta be quick its done in less than an hour.
anonymous- no not dumb at all! i probably should have put that in the post anyways! okay so at night i wash my face like normal and then put vasoline on my whole face. then the next day right before i put my make up on i get my face wet, rub the oil on, pour sugar in my hand and apply it to my face and scrub! after that i just dry it off and put my make up on! so i dont wash it with anything else after!
it hasnt made me break out at all! in fact, i feel it helps with breakouts, but everyone’s skin is different so hopefully it is like that for you too! let me know how it works out! xox thanks for reading!
slayer- ahhhh i just texted you! im probably too late i am pissed! so sweet of you to offer!! such a sweetheart! next time i guess
I have been washing my face with oil for about a year. I love it. I use extra virgin olive oil. I love the way my skin fells soft and moisturized yet never greasy after I wash.

I love your blog! What kind of sugar do you use?
Is doing the sugar scrub the same as using a Clarisonic? Or are there different results? I have a Clarisonic, but might try the sugar scrub if it would help even more.

Ok this is soooo random, but I also use sugar on my face and just found this awesome little spice tin at World Market to keep it in! It’s magnetic (which lets me stick in on that back metal wall in the medicine cabinet) and if you twist the lid to a certain point you can pour the sugar right into your hand. Plus they come in super cute colors! You can get just one for $2 at the store, but here they are online: http://www.worldmarket.com/product/aqua-magnetic-storage-tin-set-of-6.do?&from=fn
(Hopefully the link works because it didn’t the first time I tried.)
Just couldn’t keep it to myself (:
