0 When My skin met Lemon

Thanks Jenny for sharing your story with us.

Hi, my name is Jenny. I live in Boston. When started eighth grade, my nightmare began. I started breaking out. It wasn't severe at first, but at that time I wasn't really caring about my skin. I'm always asking my parents to buy me makeup. I would wear them everyday for school or even at home when I have nothing to do. What I really repent was that I didn't wash my face properly when going to bed. So as time goes by, my face got worst and worst.

After like six year of embarrassment and spending more than thousands of dollars on products for my face, I decided to stop. I threw away all the skin products. I pass a month without using anything but just pure water to clean my face. My skin wasn't as dry nor red as before. All the products I used to use were too drying. Even though my complexion was better, my breakouts was the same (new ones everyday).

My dream started to clear when my grandma came to visit from Canada. She was shocked to see my skin. I felt so embarrassed at that time. Later, she sees me eating a piece of lemon that was with the steak my mom make and told me to eat more lemon because it's good for the skin. She also told me to apply the juice onto my face. She says that when she was young, she would use lemon to whiten her face. I listened and started to apply lemon juice onto my face and wait 10 or so minutes and wash off. It stung my skin at first, but I didn't give up. I saw a little difference after two days and I was extremely happy about it. My hope just came rushing back. My one unforgettable was the time when I had lemon juice on my face and fell asleep while waiting. When I woke up, WOW, my skin never looked so good for years. From that time on, I decided to properly take care of my skin, I came up with a good regime and stuck with it until now.

Thank God for Lemons!!! A true story by Jenny

0 KK Love Q&A - September

Q: Hi KK Love, my boyfriend broke up with me last month saying that he doesn't feel the same for me as before. Now there is this guy that I used to like asked me to be his girlfriend. I still love my ex-boyfriend, but I also want somebody else fast to forget about him. Please help me.
-Desperate


A: Dear Desperate, there is no need to rush. We all know that once we get hurt, the wound takes its time to heal. You are hurt because that guy didn't love you anymore, but think about this guy that asked you out, do you think that he'll be happy to have someone that only uses him to forget about her past love? I'm not telling you to ignore him, but to take it slow. Go out as friends for a while. Then if you are very sure that you guys might work, give it a try. - Love KK





Q: Please help me fast! My fiancee and I dated for a little more than 5 years. We planned our wedding, where we'll be living , and even when we're having our first baby. He said that he wants to concentrate on his job until he can earn up a budget so I can quit my job to have our first baby. He have all this planned so well. What I figured last week is that I'M PREGNANT. We were very careful, but still I got pregnant. Now the problem is, "How do I tell him?". - Anonymous


A: Dear Anonymous, I think you answered yourself already. You guys have dated for so long and have shared so many things and ideas. I'm sure that with this situation you're having, you can sit with him and talk about it. Accident happens. I'm sure that he won't blame it on you. So it didn't turned out as he planned, plan again. A child is a gift. Maybe you think it didn't came at the right time, but a gift mostly comes in surprise.- Love KK

Q: Im 15 now and I've never worn tank tops or any clothes that shows my shoulders. I'm about to start high school and I want to look my best. The thing is that whenever I shave my armpit, I can't get all the hairs. I can't afford on going to a salon. Is there any other ways? -Carla

A:Hi Carla, first of all, congrats on starting high school soon. So, most people shave their underarms because of convenience. You don't need to go to a salon. You can go to any drugstores and find a waxing kit. I use waxing strips sometimes. Sally Hansen have em'. A lot of people plug them as it can hurt, but it also gets the hair roots out so the hair won't grow back thicker. Of course, make sure to wear deodorant. - KK Bauty




Q:Hi kk bauty, I want to tell you that I love your blog and thank you for all the amazing face masks that really helped me a lot with my skin. I want to ask if there is a way to get rid of flaky skins? Im using an acne medication for night and my skins is flaking. I do not want to stop using it because it is clearing my acne.
- Flaky skin girl

A: Hi Flaky skin girl, thank you so much and I'm glad you like my blog. Well, flakiness are dead skins shedding out because of skin dryness. Acne medications are very dry to skin and sometimes can cause you to breakout more if it over dries. Moisturize helps a lot. Also, drink enough water to hydrate your skin. You can go and buy a good but gentle exfoliator to get rid of the flakiness. - KK Bauty




Q: Hi, do you know how to get rid of belly fats? I've been doing abs but don't think that it's helping -Nina Rodriguez

A: Hi Nina, belly fats are kinda hard to get rid of with just abs exercise. Make sure to eat less oily foods and eat more vegetables and fruits. Drink plenty of water everyday. Walking helps a LOT. Walking burns belly fats so well. It can also get you nice shaped legs. You can also try riding exercise bicycles. Just remember that no matter how many exercise you do, it won't be any good if you don't watch what you eat. -KK Bauty

July

Q: KK, I've been dating this guy for 4 months now and every time I try to talk to him about meeting my parents, he always come up with an excuse. He never talk about his family nor his old relationships. He treats me really good, and I can feel that he loves me. I love him too, but it's just that sometimes I feel that he's not taking us seriously. What shall I do? Should I break up with him? I don't know what he's thinking.
-Anonymous

A:Dear Anonymous,
Like you said, you know that he loves you. Why not find a good moment and have a little chat with him. Maybe if you tell him how you feel he'll understand. You should never ask me if you should break up with him or not. What's the point of bringing that up? You love him and you know that he loves you. Maybe he wanted your relationship to be more stable before taking the next step. If you never ask, you never know.




Q:Hi, I need your help. I have this major crush on this guy at my history class at summer school. I'm a junior and he's a senior. Recently, we got a project and the teacher put me with him and some other girl which I don't know. He doesn't talk to me. He keeps talking to the other girl on the team. I'm nervous of giving suggestions for the project because he's there. How do I talk to him? -Lizzie

A:Hi Lizzie,
First of all, calm down and try to relax when he's around. You don't wanna make a fool out of yourself when he's there. First try to talk to the other girl in your team because it might be easier for you. Since she talks to the other guy, you can tag along if you know the other girl and it might not make you nervous. Give out suggestions for the project out loud to the girl and if he thinks that it's good then he might just start talking to you about your suggestion.




Q:Hi KK, I need your help! I had this really stupid fight with my fiancee because of a friend of his. I live with my fiancee for almost a year already. We've been dating for 3 years, and he proposed to me right before we moved together. The thing is, a friend of his "came to visit relatives, but no room on relative's house to stay" and call him to ask for a place to stay fro a week. He offered to stay at our house and I didn't have a problem with that until I saw his friend. It's a GIRL! If it were a guy I understand, but why would a girl ask a guy, which she knows that lives with his future-wife, to stay at his house. He told me that she was always just a friend, but she told me that they dated before. I argue with him over that and now he's at his parent's house leaving me here with that girl. HELP! PLEASE! - Angry fiancee

A: Dear Angry fiancee,
She's only staying for a week . After she leaves, have a talk with your future husband. You guys have been together for so long and now argue over somebody that was on the past? Come on, think about this "Did he had any reason to lie?". Maybe he isn't thinking about the past with her and thinking about right now with you. What's the point of bringing up past love lives when he have somebody in the present that is very precious for him. Forget about his past, the present is what's matter now. And if you don't fix this, maybe no future. You want a future with him? Trust him.




Q:Hi kk, my name is Brianna. My parent said they won't let me have a boyfriend until I'm capable of taking care of myself. I'm 16 already and never had a boyfriend before. I love them very much and I've listened to them for so long. There is this boy at my neighborhood that asked me out. I like him too, but I told him that I'm not sure so he suggested we go out several times before giving him an exact answer. The thing is, I feel bad for hiding this from my parents. But if I tell them, they will get mad and not let me go to dates with him. How do I tell them?

A: Dear Brianna,
I know how you fell. We've all been there. It is very great of you to understand your parents' care. I think that before giving that guy your answer, tell your parents about this. Tell them what you did, say that you really like that guy, but you knew that they needed to know about this first before deciding to be his girlfriend or not. They will know how you put them in the first place and might decide to give you a chance with the guy.

0 Regimen to clear skin!

Alright, a lot of you e-mailed me asking for name of products that's good in fighting acne.
Let me tell you this. If you really wanna clear up your acne, first thing you might wanna avoid is "laziness".
Fighting acne takes patience and no matter how good that product is, acne might always come back.

You really wanna clear them up so sure? Follow this:

1) Cleaning:
*Use oil-free products on face (makeups included)
*Try using cleanser with salicylic acid
*Do night treatment (stronger product, like 10% benzoyl peroxide unless allergic to them)
*Exfoliate 1-2 times a week (this help with flaky skin too)
*moisturize
*protect skin from sun (use SPF)
*clean hair more often (hair oil clog pores so avoid hair touching face)

2)Diet:
*avoid oily food (examples:pizza,fried foods,junk foods..)
*drink water more often to hydrate your body
*avoid dairy food more often (milk,bread,..)
*more vegetables and fruits
*avoid too much sweets (especially chocolate)

3)Lifestyle:
*exercise more often (15-30 minutes a day for starter)
*avoid stress (it might be hard to control but avoid thinking too much)
*get more fresh air (park is great and help relax too)
*don't think about your skin too much (thinking too much won't help, if not, it stresses you out)

0 Stress is skin's worst enemy!

Homework,tests,work...STRESS!

I've notice that my skin have had small breakouts.Remember,lack of sleep is bad for skin too.

My friend recommended me to take yoga with her to release the stress.WOW!I've never knew that yoga help my skin so much.
I know that stress is unavoidable, but try to relax and thing about happy stuffs. Do it for your skin.
Try calling your friends, going to the movies,shopping,etc...

Do some yoga at home or watch some movie movies in your room while trying to relax.
