Today's post is about the different types of acne and how they can be treated.  If you are battling acne, you probably already know that, there are different types of acne.


 Whiteheads or blackheads.  Papules, pustules and nodules.  So why do you need to learn all these names?  Because knowledge is the best weapon.  The infographic below details treatments plans for each type of acne, whether its mild, moderate or severe.


Let me know your thoughts.  If you have any advice or tips to share, please comment below, I�d love to hear from you.

DIY: Natural deodorant (spray)

Image
Hello everyone!  If, like me, you hate the chemical-laden, store-bought deodorants,  y ou can make your own natural deodorant from scratch � in both  solid  and spray form.  Since I�ve already posted a  DIY solid deodorant recipe , I want to share my favourite spray deodorant formula, too.  This one is way easier and quicker to make.  Enjoy! Ingredients: 60 ml (2 fl oz) witch hazel (astringent) 12 drops of essential oil - Choose an oil with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties such as, sweet orange, tea tree, lemongrass, lavender, etc. Method: Pour your ingredients into a spray bottle and screw the top back on.  Shake well before use.  It's super simple to make and it  really does work ! Have you ever tried using a DIY deodorant?  Do you prefer a solid or a spray formula? Have a great day!
