ARE FILTERS STOPPING YOU FROM SOCIALISING?
Love it or hate it – social media is here to stay. But, is it really social in the true sense of the word? I’m not sure. Am I connected with more people by using Facebook and Instagram? Yes.

MY PSYCHOLOGICAL ACNE SCARS
Like so many others, when I first developed acne as a teenager I sought the advice of a doctor.

From 2005 – 2013, I tried various contraceptive pills to combat my acne. Starting with Norethisterone and later Dianette, Microgynon, & Yasmin.

FOUNDATIONS TO CONCEAL ACNE
When my acne was at its worst, foundation ranked highly in a list of items that I could not live without. You could say that over the years I’ve established a very unhealthy relationship with makeup! Like other blemished beauties experience; there are times when I can’t leave the house or even answer the doorContinue reading “FOUNDATIONS TO CONCEAL ACNE”
HAVE YOU TRIED WASHING YOUR FACE?
I’ve lost count of the amount of times I have been asked that question. And like so many others I grew up believing that only people with dirty faces got acne.
