How One Simple Tip Changed My Skin Forever

I had never suffered from acne. I had always had pretty normal skin. I liked to pile on the makeup from time to time, but I had never experienced my skin like this before. I was getting breakouts everyday, black heads, clogged pores, sandpaper texture on my skin and bad discoloration. One day I did something that I had no idea would save my skin.

I PUMPED HAND SOAP ON TO MY MAKEUP SPONGE.

It's true! It may sound dumb or obvious but it changed my skin completely and here is how.

I THOUGHT I WAS KEEPING MY SKIN CLEAN.

Even though I washed my sponges, it didn't mean there wasn't bacteria building up between washes that I was putting back on my skin.

Every time before I wet my sponge, I pumped one pump of foaming hand wash on it, wet it and rung it out. It works miracles on removing makeup as well as killing bacteria. Not only does it keep your skin free of bacteria, it saves you money by saving your sponges with the minimal upkeep. My sponge has lasted substantially longer than ever before as well as being cleaner than ever before.

IT CHANGED MY SKIN, SERIOUSLY.

I was killing bacteria right before I used it so there was no chance to transfer it to my sensitive skin. This helped from triggering breakouts.The sponge did not have leftover makeup on it and was no longer clogging pores and causing excess blackheads. There wasn't texture piling up on my skin and it was less irritated and even.

It might seem obvious, but most of us don't clean our sponges everyday and end up putting bacteria all over our skin. This is a quick tip that just might help your skin and save your money. It really really saved mine and every person who I have gotten to try my little tip has never turned back.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
