HOW TO: get rid of acne for summer!

ACNE: we all have it, we all hate it.

Yes, of course, there are some who have been kissed by fortune and have already got a perfect, flawless, peach-touched skin, but (that's a mere consolation, I know) this is really about a very few people.

And so, What about us, with our FLAW(not-LESS) skin?

Well, here are 10 points you must seek if you want to get rid of acne (at least for summer).

1. Eat healthy!
fries  chips  salami  ham ...

You must eat lots of fruit (specially apricots, very good for acne actually!), pasta (but not that much, if you don't want to gain weight), and, of course, vegetables (the more green you eat, the best results you'll get!).

2. Drink looots of water!

Water is the best (and only) way to quench your organism and your skin! It helps to depurate the skin from the inside.

3. Go to the beach!

It's not only funny, but actually also good for skin care! Wear a sun protection and avoid the central hours of the day and... have fun! Swim in the sea (the salt will remove all your acne) and then dry the water in the sunshine!

4. Don't stress out yourself!

Maybe you don't know it, but stress it's actually one of the causes of acne! So, relax! Read a book, spend the morning on a sandy beach, have fun with friends...

5. Wear foundation only in the evening!

This summer, choose a BB cream for your mornings and afternoons. This will help you not stressing your skin and the sun will reach the skin better.
Of course, if you can, wear nothing! Avoid even the BB if you like to!

6. Don't leave your skin care products!

Even if the beach calls you early in the morning, find a few minutes for your skin care routine. Mind to moisturize your skin (using a good hydration cream) and cure acne.

7. As for your break, choose a frappé or an ice cream!

We all need to do a break and (of course) we want something inspiring and sweet. A delicious fresh made ice-cream or a frappé (or a milk shake) is the perfect solution!

8. Move!

Swim, run, cycle... Outside there you may find lots of activities to do! This will make you sweat and help your skin to get rid of sebum.

9. Once a week, make a natural scrub!

You can make a very good one using honey and sugar: mix them, put the scrub on your face, massage while standing by vapour (use a pot with hot water to produce it, and put a towel on your head). Then just wash it out. Nice skin, nay?

10. Hope!

Yes, I know, that's not exactly the kind of tip you expect to find but... it may work!

I HOPE you will get rid of acne and enjoy your summer!

Have fun.

Why HOT PINK NAILS are all you need this summer.

Pink it's hot, happy, shining. So fashion that you MUST wear it.

It all started with Dior and color n. 678 (18 £). Now, after passing on the covers of all those magazines that means something, hot pink is finally the nail polish color of the summer.
HOT PINK is an energy potion, it immediately makes you smile and it looks amazing with the tan you (will) have. You can't stay without it.

These are my nails this evening! Colored in hot pink.

I found this amazing nail polish (so HOT PINK that I couldn't resist!) and I afforded it for only 1 £. It is by Lady Venezia UP collection, (check out their web site HERE or search them on facebook).

Kisses.

Who am I, what I write, what is this blog about.

Since I was just a little, curious, brat (and full of freckles) girl, I've been spending several minutes in front of the mirror, trying to apply mascara without making the whole eye black, or to place some eyeshadow on my lid, possibly without immediately looking like a drag queen - with all respect for those who actually ARE drag queens, but, you should not blame me, I WASN'T a drag queen (I was, instead, a girl of eight/nine, vain and very brat).

Time has passed and that little girl had became - not without difficulties, of course - a young woman (hahaha, woman is SUCH a word! I'm just sixteen!) who still spends several minutes - okay, maybe a bit more than minutes - in front of the mirror.

Well, I'm still the same girl I was then, but the point is that, if once make up was just a way instead of another to play, today it has begun something more. I'm not here to say I'm a make up artist and bla-bla-bla (NO!), I'm just one who tries to make her face more appreciable and to reach (but I must say that's REALLY difficult) beauty.

And so we came to why I created this blog. I don't really know what I'm here to write, I don't know if I am going to make tutorials or videos or posts just to exchange opinions with you. All I know is that, in one way or another, I will be here trying to help you, make you laugh, and give you some advices on make up.

Oh, one more thing, I'm Italian. You'll be thinking "way is she writing in english, then?!", well, I'm trying to improve my english 'cause my dream (my truly dream) is to be, one day, in England, maybe studying at Oxford University.

Kisses!
