What do you pack when you are spending the night away? You want to travel light but you do not want to take all of your beauty cabinet with you. Sometimes These can be quite a hard choice to make, especially if you have a specific beauty routine. There are a few options that you can make.

1. Take everything you need
2. Take only some of what you need
3. Take something else.

Taking something else and just sticking to that decision can be time-saving. If you use various products it can be quite stressful, the need to always look and feel good, making sure that you do not have regrets, of products left behind. I find Tea Tree Oil very useful in these type of situations. I recently bought these two products from super drug a foam facial wash and a cleanser and toner. With one or two pumps, this can leave your face feeling refreshed and vitalised. Even without the use of a facial scrub this product works wonders. To add to the set is the cleanser and toner. Perfect for after using the foam wash. Finish off with your facial cream and you are good to go. Great for morning and night.

I really like the Superdrug brand of this tea tree oil set and is something that is a must have when going away for short days. You can feel as though you have had your full regime with just one wash.  They are nice and compact and it is a wash that is nice to add to your beauty care, perfect from ridding your face of all the pollution and impurities.

So when only two will do why not give this a try.

To top it of I got a free gift. Who doesn’t love free gifts.

There were days when all I want to do is scream at my skin because it would not cooperate. It was as stubborn as I was. It would not budge. No matter what time of day it was or what the climate was, my skin always found its way to be dry. Now like a few black girls, back in the day it was all about the coco butter. Well actually it was all about the Astral cream, then came along coco butter.

Now as a child you just used whatever your mama gave ya and didn’t really focus too much on your skin. Ir was all about bath and cream. Wearing long socks as a child, by the time you took them off when you went home your legs were dry. Usually you would just assume it was because of the socks. Perhaps. Or it could be just that your skin was dry.

One thing that I like to do and that is to take care of  my face. It wasn’t something that I did on purpose, it was gradual and I accidentally found myself with a daily ritual. From the time I was young growing into my teens, there were talks of acne and teenagers. I didn’t want to get acne so I made sure I used the products that will help me lessen the amount of acne that I will get. So one of my first products back in the day was Biactol. For those of you old enough to remember.  I used that daily just warm water and a squirt of this orangey, pinkey liquid. Then a few years later the facial scrub came in. With its course texture and a sqirt of the liquid I would scrub my face to ensure it was clean. Needless to say it did hurt, but I grew accustomed to it eventually.

Then came Clearasil a more modern and up to date facial wash from Biactol. I switched from Biactol to Clearisil then eventually to Clean and Clear. I have been using Clean and Clear ever since and occassionally using Clearasil. I have added different products as I have discovered them but I’ll leave that for another blog. Enough about my history here is my regime.
