Blackheads Are Caused By Over Productive Pores

What causes blackheads? It’s often because your own pores are secreting too much oil. Cleaning your face with harsh chemicals can lead to an over production of oil. The more you clean to get rid of blackheads, the more you cause them. To prevent this, you’ll need to invest in a moisturizer for dry skin.

Sun Damage Can Cause Blackheads

Anything that can block your pores can potentially cause blackheads. Without a before or after sun moisturizer, the sun can dry out and burn your exterior layers of skin. Dried skin will block your pores and contribute to oil, thereby causing blackheads.

Exfoliating Often Doesn’t Help

Depending on your exfoliation cream, exfoliation can actually cause more damage than it’s worth. A harsh exfoliating cream will damage your skin, making it more likely that your skin will experience blocked pores. Even a light exfoliation can dry out your skin, again promoting oil accumulation.

Using natural skin care products, including moisturizers and natural cleansers, can help with avoiding blackheads to form. Egyptian Magic is an all-in-one moisturizing cream that has many client testimonials, using as a holistic acne treatment, natural face moisturizer, and natural eczema cream.

1. Hydrate Your Skin

This is the first step to any good skin care or makeup routine. Well-hydrated skin doesn’t show fine lines and wrinkles as much as dry skin does, so slap on a face mask and break out your cucumber water, because you’ll want to keep your skin and body hydrated, starting at least a few hours before picture time. Seal in that moisture with an all-natural balm, such as Egyptian Magic, to keep your skin silky smooth all day and night long.

2. Keep it Simple

When you’re expecting your picture to be taken, it’s best not to try any bold makeup looks you’ve never done before. Bold eyeshadow and lips don’t always look as great in pictures as they do in person. However, light contour and highlighting can make your pictures look great, but don’t overdo it!

3. Avoid the Oil

While playing with highlight and shine in certain areas can be fun, you typically don’t want your whole face to look shiny or oily. Use skin blotting papers, which you can find at any drugstore, to soak up skin oil on your forehead and chin. You can also use matte foundation to keep skin looking smooth.

Here are a few common signs that you should change your skin care routine:

Your Current Products Just Aren’t Working

It may take some time for your skin to adjust and show the effects of a new cream, face wash, or toner. However, it may never happen. If you’ve been using the same products for weeks or months and you don’t notice any improvement – or worse, you notice new problems – then your search isn’t over.

Your Skin is Extra Oily or Extra Dry

The right skin care products for your skin will not dry it out or cause it to produce extra oil. If you notice dry patches or flaky skin, you may be using products that dry out your skin or trigger allergic reactions. If you notice extra oil production and breakouts, the same is true: you might be using products that strip away too many natural oils.

Your Skin is More Sensitive to Light

Don’t trade breakouts for sun damage. If your skin care regimen is so harsh that your skin is suddenly vulnerable to sunlight, it may be causing chemical changes that weaken and expose your skin. Strong acne-fighting chemicals may not be right for you; you may want to try gentler, more natural methods of maintaining the right moisture levels.

Egyptian Magic is an all-natural, multi-purpose moisturizer that helps your skin stay hydrated without chemical additives. Consider replacing some of your current products with this time-tested skin fix.

Egyptian Magic

Looking for a gift that will come in handy over and over again? Egyptian Magic is a single product, but it serves the same roles as dozens of different skin and beauty products. This six-ingredient moisturizer is both all-natural and multi-purpose, acting as everything from a skin cream to a hair tamer, and it’s perfect for loved ones who have bites, burns, rashes, dry patches… or just want glowing, well-hydrated skin.

Lighted Makeup Mirror

Does your loved one work hard on their makeup techniques? Give them a gift that will make sure their look is appreciated in every environment. A vanity mirror with different light settings will make it easy to preview their makeup under different hues and amounts of light, including natural or artificial light. They can see exactly how their face will look throughout the day, in every setting from a sunny park to a dim restaurant.

Diffuser and Essential Oils

Makeup aficionados know that skin care plays a huge role in our makeup rituals. Give the gift of more relaxed, hydrated skin with an essential oil diffuser and a few relaxing oils. Peppermint, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil will invigorate the senses during a morning beauty ritual, while relaxing oils like lavender make it easier to unwind at night and remove the remnants of the day.

It’s hard to beat a gift that makes you look and feel better. Which of these gifts will you be grabbing before the holiday?

Bring Your Products With You

A small travel-sized kit of all your products is a good first step, as it means you can continue your regular skin care routine wherever you are. Using random products could expose you to potential allergens.

Keep Yourself Moisturized

While on the plane or traveling is a good time to moisturize. Egyptian Magic is a great solution. Moisturizing isn’t just for dry skin, it creates a protective layer over your skin to prevent potential damage.

Take Some Time for Yourself

Stress can cause you to break out, and there are very few things that are as stressful as travel plans. Take a moment for yourself to rest and relax, whether it’s watching a movie or sitting by the pool.

Make Sure to Cleanse

One of the difficulties with traveling is that you’ll encounter a lot of different types of bacteria. Make sure to wash your hands and face frequently (moisturize after!) to protect yourself from getting sick.

Travel shouldn’t mean that your skin care has to suffer. Egyptian Magic is a fantastic solution for both moisturizing and protecting your skin, and it’s easy to travel with. For more information, visit the Egyptian Magic store.

1. Cleanse

Makeup, oils, and dirt all build up on your skin throughout the day, blocking your pores and causing acne. As your skin sheds cells, your skin can begin to look rough and dry: cleansing will remove the old skin, revealing the new skin underneath. Avoid cleansers that have harsh components such as “scrubs,” as they can create micro-abrasions in your skin and may damage your healthy new skin. Instead, look for a light, low ingredient cleansing solution specifically designed for your face.

2. Tone

Toners are used to balance your skin, removing any residue left by the cleanser as well as skin oils. AHA/BHA toners are frequently recommended for those who need to treat skin issues, large pores, and blocked pores. After washing, apply a toner to your skin using a cotton pad or a cotton ball, and allow to dry.

3. Moisturize

Once you’ve finished cleaning and toning, you’ll have to restore moisture to your skin. This is where a premium moisturizer like Egyptian Magic becomes important. Egyptian Magic moisturizes and heals dry skin and prevents oily skin from generating more oil. A favorite use – apply Egyptian Magic on face, lips and around eyes before going to sleep… and wake up with a glowing, hydrated and radiant face!

Within minutes, you can be well on your way to beautiful, healthy, vibrant skin. For more information about the best skincare, visit Egyptian Magic.

Hormone changes during pregnancy disrupt the body’s natural balance, which means skin is more prone to acne, and more sensitive to sun, wind and chemicals. Many women also worry about preventing post-pregnancy stretch marks. However, pregnancy skincare routines don’t have to be complicated – here are a few tips to create a no-hassles skincare regimen during and after pregnancy.

For Acne

1. Use a high-quality, all-natural moisturizer on the face and body every morning, preferably immediately after cleaning your skin. This will keep your skin hydrated and prevent excess oils from clogging pores.
2. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and encourage healthy skin tone.
3. Exfoliate once a week using all an natural product. Sugar or baking soda can be added to a face lotion or cream you like to give you a gentle, all-natural exfoliant.

For Stretch Marks

1. Keep stretch mark prone areas, such as the stomach, thighs and upper arms supple by massaging each area with a thick, hydrating organic cream, such as Egyptian Magic, every day.
2. Start a moisturizing skin routine as soon as you learn you are pregnant, and continue your routine for at least two to three months after delivery.

Protecting the skin’s delicate balance doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. Egyptian Magic is an all-purpose, all-natural cream that can be used on face, body, and even hair. Invest in a product that will nourish your skin through all stages of pregnancy.
