New Format

Hey Ladies!


     So... as we're sure you're aware.... fashuvia has died down over the last month due to super busy schedules and other priorities... Luckily, we are back up and running and have decided to switch it up a bit! 


We have found that keeping a daily topic limits us to what we really want to discuss on a daily basis. So for this reason, we are having a more open forum to discuss any topic which we find relevant to the day! Today's topic..... makeup brushes.


Recently fashuvia received a facial and paid close attention to the good skin tips that were being given... 


Firstly, CLEAN YOUR MAKE-UP BRUSHES REGULARLY! Although this isn't the best thing for the brushes themselves, we found the BEST way to get them SQUEAKY clean is by using dish soap... think about it, dish soap is used to clean animals who have been trapped in oil spills.. if it can get the oil and muck off of them, it can break through make-up in an instant.... Squirt soap directly on brush... massage and rinse.. repeat until water is completely clear, then re-shape brush and let dry on a towel... you will notice a complete change! The brushes feel so great on your skin!! You will always be amazed at how much make-up washes down the drain!!! (Make-up brushes harbor oil and bacteria! Clean once a week!)


Change your pillow case every other day! The oils from your hair and scalp soak into your pillowcase, and when your face touches the pillow, you then transmit the oils from the hair onto the face, creating breakouts!!! Preferably use a white pillow case ONLY, these have less chemicals, and chemicals are something we want to avoid!!! Monday, use one side of the pillow, Tuesday flip it and use the other.. Wednesday change pillow case, and repeat! 


Clean your cell phone! Let's face it.. you use your cell phone constantly, and it is disgustingly dirty! When your phone touches your face... instant bacteria fest!!! Get in the habit of using clorox wipes or rubbing alcohol on a tissue on your phone AT LEAST once a day..... this will help keep everything nice and clean!!!


Don't touch your face! We don't realize how much we touch our face throughout the day! When we do this, all the bacteria on our hands gets rubbed into our faces! Make sure to NEVER touch your face... this will prevent bacteria and in turn, make for a clearer face! :) 


NEVER POP PIMPLES! ok, ok, so we all do it! But we need to stop!!! When you pop a pimple, the skin has a nice little hole in it which bacteria can grow and thrive, creating more pimples!!! Furthermore, this holes scar, creating for an ugly complexion which is very hard and expensive to correct! When you notice a pimple, use a hot compress on the area, and ONLY on that area (too hot of water can cause for blood vessels to break in the skin, causing red spots).... if the pimple doesn't open, continue to use the compress until it does! :) This may take a few days... but it will heal! 


Finally! Keep your hair out of your face! Hair on the face allows for oil to run onto the skin, causing breakouts! Make sure to keep your hair out of your face to prevent the transmitting of oils!
