Vitamins to Heal Acne

Continuing from my previous post regarding the overuse of vitamins in your body and ways to get them through a healthy diet.. Here are some tips on what vitamins are good to take to battle acne:

Vitamin A:

  • Needed to help with inflammation and acne
  • Prevents buildup of clogged pores
  • Calms swollen, red and sore pimples
  • Recommended: 10, 000 iu's daily
Omega-3 Fatty Acids:
  • "Best" anti-inflammatory in nature
  • EPA is the better anti-inflammatory so look for this to be higher than DPA
  • Avoid vegetable oils which tend to make acne worse

I will be looking into some of these to take and see if it helps!

Shingling Method on Bangs

Instead of doing my normal wash and go routine, I decided to spice it up by doing a different part in the front and using the shingling method on my bangs. OH MY GOODNESS I DON'T THINK I'LL EVER LOOK BACK. Usually I'll try to finger coil (see my previous finger coiling method here ) random pieces through-out my whole head, most focusing on the front, but it make the curls shorter than the rest and you definitely notice the difference. With the shingling method, my curls were separated but more natural to my curl pattern. HOW DO YOU SHINGLE? Make sure your hair is soaked with water Saturate hair in leave-in conditioner and apply an oil/butter to seal in moisture Apply a gel for extra hold  Take small pieces of your hair and smooth root to tip with your thumb and index finger & repeat until you've shingled to your desire (either just your bangs, frizzy parts of your hair, or whole head!) For extra shine and hold, use a diffuser to set curls, or sim...
