Facial Sauna & ACV Toner



I have really been wanting a facial sauna for quite some time now. I often have trouble with random pop ups of pimples on my face. All throughout being a child my mom said "you're getting pimples because of pop/chips/chocolate" etc. Although that may be VERY true, I have surely cut down in my recent years and I still get the odd pimple. Most of the time I'll get it on my cheek (right cheek specifically lol, odd I know), then around and on my nose. I have done my efforts of going from washing in the morning to now using a facial scrubber (Olay Fresh that vibrates and you don't have to change the attachment.. I love it) and also taking a baby wipe to my fave before bed. Although I don't wear THAT much makeup (I stopped wearing foundation and now just rely on a touch-up concealer and my trusty bronzer), I heard leaving makeup on your face before bed is a good culprit of acne.

While looking at what to spend my RBC Points on, I stumbled across this little Revlon Facial Sauna. It's pink, and cute and got some good reviews on Amazon so I ordered it. Free and worth the try! 

Pros:
- Small & compact 
- Easy on/off button
- Not hot enough to burn your face 
- Has a handy nasal attachment 

Cons:
- Have to wait about 5min for it to heat up (see steam) ... I accidentally forgot about it and while it remained on, it dried up all the water and was running hot
- When you breathe, the steam hits your face harder/hotter ... But I kinda liked this since I could control it

 I plan to put some Mint or Thyme (herbs, not oils) in the water, although it advises you not to add anything but water, as those herbs should help with acne. The water alone did it's job though.

The sauna suggested to put on either a masque, astringent or moisturizer afterwards. So after my face was warm and moist, especially my lips, I grabbed a cotton pad and dabbed some Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) on it. I was hesitant to put it on my face because of the strong smell, but I heard so many good reviews I thought I'd give it a shot. Instantly my skin tightened and I felt the tingly sensation around my "trouble spots" (around the sides of my nose and the crease in my chin). The smell of the ACV didn't bother me once on my face, but I don't know if that's because it was balancing the pH of my skin (which is a benefit of ACV). Being the first time doing it, I feel it helped my skin and diminished the look of my blemishes. Now I know that's a big claim, but this is just my thought on the experience. I'll have to review again after I use it some more!

Multiple Accounts in Instagram

I found a miraculous way to manage both of my Instagram accounts in the Instagram app itself! No more having to download an app to ensure I can use these 2 accounts of mine. I hated having to sign out of Instagram in one account, sign into the other and constantly going back and forth. So here is the solution: To add other accounts into your Instagram: Open Instagram > Options > Add Account > Sign into other account > Account Added To switch between multiple accounts in Instagram: In Instagram, Tap on account name at the top > Select desired account Visual below:  Step 1: Add Account Step 2: Switch Account So easy and I'm definitely happy I stumbled upon it! I'm hoping this will help other business owners who manage multiple accounts such as their personal and business. This will help me post on Instagram more frequently.
