Hey, girls! Today's topic is the face. I started to have acne when I was 9, and it was pretty bad! I had so much redness on my face. I was popping my zits every 5 minutes because I thought it would help.  Instead, it just made my face feel a lot worse!  My face started to ache really badly, and I was completely mad at my skin.  A couple of years ago, I decided to get a facial at Message Envy.  My face was completely clear of acne for about a week and a half.  Then it came back.  So I did some research and have been looking for home remedies that can help with acne.  I'm now 13 and have had major acne until a couple of months ago. I started to hydrate my skin more often and and use moisturizer.  Even when we have oily skin, it's so important to hydrate and moisturize!  Go to your local drugstore and get some moisturizers!  Makeup can leave your skin feeling oily while you're wearing it.  My favorite solution is BB Cream or better known as "beauty balm."  BB Cream is perfect for teens who are new to makeup! BB Cream leaves my skin feeling soft.  Plus, it has all these benefits including, SPF15!

During the summer, you're going to want to moisturize like crazy!  First, never use any harsh scrubs unless they are sulfate-free!  Second, always use lukewarm water when removing facials, because it could irritate the skin if you scrub hard.  Third, always use natural organic facials when you're new to makeup or young like me.  Making your own facials can be fun and are great for sleepovers!  Lastly, let your parents know that BB Cream, facials and  moisturizers are all natural for your skin and are amazing for bad breakouts!  My favorite home remedy for a zit is to put a dab of toothpaste on the irritated area and wait overnight.  It should have immediately zapped the zit away!  To reduce redness, I like putting eye drops onto my really red pimples and it should reduce the swelling up to 30-60%.

Good luck!
