aloe/ msm mask, face reggie

Happy Saturday
I hope everyone has a great weekend planned even if it to rest and spend time recharging.  I plan on doing some recharging for sure and of course taking care of some business.

Im going to go ahead and tell you what my new skin regimen has been this past couple of weeks, and really in the last week I've noticed a significant change in my skin.

Back before I got married, I was getting facials and glycolic peels every week for like 6-8 weeks. It was great and my skin never looked so good, it was glowing!
Now that i'm not doing that any more I've gotta find something that works for me, and I have started back using this glycolic facial cleanser and I was getting so desparate I started to use a glycolic peel (8%) from Skin Effects.

I got mine from CVS around here.  So I went hard on that and I also bought a battery operated facial brush/pad Wave by Neutrogena

Now I felt like the mix of the glycolic peel plus the sonic wave dried out my skin somewhat, and so I've only done that every other day, but in between that I also went for the msm mask.
I have to say that my skin is really cleared up alot, of course I still have the hyperpigmentation, but as for breakouts, i'm in the clear. 


I really think the peel helped but I really also think the msm masks helped to restore healing to my skin as well as helped to detox the skin cells on my face.  I've done the mask every other day.

INgredients ( all the rest of the aloe vera gel in my hair bin) and 1 msm pill 1/4 teaspoon.  I mixed it up and let it sit and its ready for use whenever. 
The application is smooth but does make my eyes water, like I'm cutting onions. I let sit for 10-15 minutes until it dries and wash off with wash cloth or even the wave. 

Its been an eye opening process that I can do something for my skin myself without visiting the aesthetician! And that there are some natural ways to heal your skin. I'm looking forward to many more natural remedies. Its been so awesome already.

Adult Blemishes, MSM powder natural remedy

Hey Lovelies,
This post is for all those who deal with adult blemishes also known as acne, also known as a thorn in my side!!  I've dealt with pretty serious acne since I graduated college and it has really been something that I've had to manage over the years.
At first I thought I wasn't drinking enough water, but I also had a higher level of stress due to becoming a working adult, and I believe my body just couldn't handle all the toxins that stress was creating.
I love my mother because, not only is she a great mom, but she suggested taking some of these vitamins to help, and I tried them.  The one that worked for me the most was MSM methylsulfonate. It is a wonderful dietary sulfur that we should get from eating raw fruits and veggies if they are grown with rain water.  Of course I do eat my fruit and veggies but that rain piece may not always come into play.

So I usually take about 3-4,000 mg of the powder, with orange juice each morning, and it really has changed my life in terms of my skin.  I still get break outs and if I run out of the powder, my skin flairs up again in a horrible way.  I recently ran out 2 months ago and I am still trying to get my skin back under control with the MSM which is something I need.

 
Today I tried something different,
I made an MSM mask to help with some of the acne scarring, i'm just experimenting but I'll let you know if it helped to dry up some of the acne and improve the hyperpigmentation.  I don't want to share any recipe yet unless I know its going to work, so wish me luck in my homeopathic lab :-)

Until next time,
Stay Blessed!

Filled by Love

"When filled with God’s love, we can do and see and understand things that we could not otherwise do or see or understand. Filled with His love, we can endure pain, quell fear, forgive freely, avoid contention, renew strength, and bless and help others in ways surprising even to us."

These words from a missionary who experience a great revelation of God's love and subsequent joy!
This is the prayer of my life that I receive God's love to the point of experiencing true joy.  The kind of joy that is really available to me and all of us.

The thought came about while listening to this song which has been ministering to me and I hope to share with others soon in praise and worship.

New to 2012.

Happy New Year to you all!

So blessed to be living in the year 2012.  I am coming up to my 30th birthday on Feb. 1, and of course it is making me look back to all of the great years in my 20's and that which is to come in this next ten years.  I have learned so much and am coming to a wonderful place in my life.  Things I have learned

1) God's love is essential to a fulfilled life, it is the secret!

2) I am really stubborn and need to trust in God and others more, as well as surrender my will more
3) My husband @TimGreen is a wonderful musician and a true Levite, and my life is better for being with him and loving him
4) My gift of music is for an appointed time and will bless others
5) Pride is a nasty sin, and can be seen even in the little things like being stubborn
6) God's chastisement is really not easy to take, but that broken place is essential to growth
7) I get mistaken for a teen all the time, and I will one day love that
8) I don't want to fight or have bad blood between anybody, as much as possible I will live peaceable with everyone
9) I am a peculiar person.
10) I have a nerve tendency and it isn't just in my head! 
10) God has a plan for me and you!

Cheers to the New Year!
