Update!

I know I'm up to an apology a month.
August has just been a really busy month for me...

For one, on August 12th I celebrated my 21st birthday. It was a huge milestone, I don't feel any older though, maybe wiser? It's great to finally say I am 21 years old! Legally in Canada you're an adult at 18-19 so it's nothing special over here.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Also because I am Muslim I celebrate Ramadan. The day before my birthday was the start of Ramadan! So I couldn't really do anything for my birthday, but fast, lol. I didn't have a problem with it, why would I?

So we're about 2 weeks into Ramadan and so far so good. The days are longer (16 hours) but the fact that I am still on my summer right now, is probably why it's easier. I've been going to the mosque every night at 7pm and returning at 11:30pm then sleeping at 1am to only wake up at 4am. This is done everyday! I'm exhausted! lol

-- Anyway, I am sorry that I haven't updated in one whole month, it's been really crazy. I promise to post a new entry every week before school starts. For me classes start on September 7th. Hopefully, I'll have some time to update and post some reviews and DIY's during my final year!

Skincare Routine

For the past 2 weeks my face has been flaring up and I've had horrible break outs. It resulted in scarring, great just what I need, more scars! I became fed up and decided to buy a different cleanser and a stronger acne treatment. I also bought a richer facial moisturizer.

I've always had trouble finding the right products for me. This routine seems to work really well! I plan on switching it up in the winter time. However, I believe the moisturizer is thick enough for the cold, frosty weather.

This is the cleanser I chose. I decided to get this one because my skin got used to the Clearsil that I was using.

I've heard a lot of good things about the Clean & Clear Advantage line, this was a major factor in my purchase. This Clean & Clear has 2% salicylic acid.














The next product I purchased was this acne spot treatment. I have to say that this Spectro works 10x faster than the Clearsil one. I posted a review for it on my blog. I prefer this one. I think Spectro is only available in Canada, however I'm itching to try the entire line. This was my first Spectro purchase.

It really works in an instant. You're supposed to apply it twice a day, which is what I do. I generally rub it over the affected areas and let it dry. It's not as drying as the Clearsil brand.




Finally, my new favourite moisturizer is this Jamieson brand. It's normally $25 but I saw it was on sale for $14 and I figured I would "splurge". It's a splurge for me because I currently have a tight budget so I'm not able to spend good money on moisturizers. This is a night moisturizer. I wake up every morning with really soft skin, my skin actually appears clearer in the morning.
