Silk Pillowcase for the Ultimate Beauty Sleep

It is likely you will spend much of your life with your face in a pillow. Hours of cumulative smushing of your skin into a pillowcase can over time etch in permanent lines and wrinkles. We tend to be gentle and cautious with our faces during the waking hours, yet during the sleeping hours we may be causing more damage than we are aware. To skincare addicts like me, women who want to preserve their beauty, or simply people who enjoy their sleep time, a silk pillowcase is the ultimate beauty staple. In this blog post I will tell you all about the silk pillowcase benefits and why it will be your new beauty staple too.

Acne Supplements That Actually Work

By now you might be aware of my past struggles with acne and breakouts. Not long ago, it seemed that any little thing would exacerbate my skin and spur on an acne breakout. I had been on antibiotics for years in an attempt to clear it up, and every time I tried to come off antibiotics, I would ultimately have to start them again.

It was a painful process but in my own research, I found skincare ingredients to treat acne, and not just cover it up.
