Solution to itchy, flaky, cracked, busted lips

Super psyched to share this with you guys. I've suffered with horribly dried, rough, flaky and even itchy lips for a very long time and discovered the remedy last month. Are you ready? Here its is! Camex lip balm, maybe you've heard of it maybe you haven't. I'd seen it a few times before using it and even watched Youtube reviews on it and still didn't pay it much mind. 1 day I was in my local pharmacy getting meds to fight a cold I had been catching and saw it behind the cashier. Honestly, I wasnt even going to buy it, I walked out of the store went on my merry way and 1 of the little voices in my head said, turn back, so I did. I usually listen to these little voices, when I don't I get in to trouble. I'm still thrilled that I went back to the pharmacy and made my Carmex purchase. The lip balm wasn't in any fancy packaging and it didnt have a scary price tag, I paid little over JMD$200 for it. Back flips for years to come, as I am more than a satisfied customer. I use this fab product 2 to 3 times per day, in the morning, sometimes in the evening and everynight before bed. It glides on easy, doesn't have any funcky smell and it works. By the way, if you have flaky, chapped lips, try exfoliating it 1st with a tooth brush and some baking soda/ sugar or even a lil water. Remember to use gently stroke like motions as no1 likes a bloody lip. Check your local pharmacy for Carmex today.

This product also comes in a little jar or a squeeze tube, but I prefer the glide on balm. Remember not every product works instantly for every1, but it definitely worked for me. I saw drastic results after 3 weeks. I made my purchase at Embassy Pharmacy on Gully Road (not the correct name of the road, but there is a gully running alongside the road, so its the best I could come up with) in Montego Bay, which is on the same stretch as Center Point Plaza, but I also it in Henderson Pharmacy on St. James Street in Montego Bay.

A Cleaner Face

THE CLARISONIC


Dirt and oil clog our pores each day and face it, soap and water only takes off what is on the surface and oftens that is not barely enough. I have been watching the famed Clarisonic for over a year with great hopes and dreams of purchasing this great product. I've watched over a mountain of Youtube video tutorials and have visited the Clarisonic website more times than my total fingers and toes combined. Talk about craving a much sought after product, it's almost ast if I'm stalking it, lol. For now having the Clarisonic will remain a dream, as its cost is a bit far reaching for me, plus it is not even accessable within Jamaica. It promises to give your face the cleanest clean, but it seems it promises to do the same to my pockets, which I really can't afford.

FACIAL BRUSH


Moving on to the mere brush on a stick, it sounds very simple doesn't it? Well, I can assure you this simple face brush provides all my cleansing needs without having to be plugged in for 24 hours for charge and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg. I went to one of my fave stores last month, Fontana Pharmacy in Montego Bay, only to discover this wonderful facial brush which cost less than JMD$300. In my mind I was blown away and couldn't wait to go home and thouroughly clean my face with my new tool :) Being a newly certified Makeup Artist, I use my face as a marketing medium to showcase my artistry and as such, after each day I am face with the burdensome task of makeup removal. For anyone whom has acne prone skin, knows its EXTREMELY important to remove all makeup before retiring to bed. My brush on a stick has done wonders for my makeup removal, the bristles are soft enough not to irritate my skin and strong enough to provide its cleansing purpose. Over exfoliation of the skin can cause skin irritation, so I try not to use my brush more than 3 to 4 times per week. Love this product and I also love the price.
