Top Skincare Routines for Clear and Glowing Skin

Achieving clear and glowing skin is a goal for many, and with the right skincare routine, it’s absolutely attainable. Whether you’re combating acne, dullness, or just seeking that radiant glow, following a structured routine can help transform your skin. Below are the essential steps to create a skincare routine that leaves your skin looking refreshed and healthy.

1. Cleansing Twice a Day

The foundation of any effective skincare routine starts with cleansing. Use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type to remove dirt, oil, and makeup. Cleansing twice a day, morning and night, ensures your skin stays free of impurities that can lead to breakouts. Look for best cleansers for sensitive skin to avoid irritation and maintain hydration.

2. Exfoliation for Clearer Skin

Exfoliating 2-3 times a week removes dead skin cells and reveals fresher skin underneath. Physical exfoliants (scrubs) or chemical exfoliants (like AHA or BHA) can smoothen the skin’s texture and unclog pores. Opt for best chemical exfoliants for acne-prone skin to address breakouts and keep your skin smooth.

3. Toning to Balance pH Levels

A toner helps to balance the skin’s pH and prepares it for better absorption of products. Look for toners with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or soothing agents like rose water. Choose best alcohol-free toners for a glowing complexion to ensure your skin remains balanced and hydrated.

4. Serums for Targeted Treatment

Serums are concentrated formulas that target specific skin concerns like pigmentation, wrinkles, or hydration. For glowing skin, Vitamin C serums are highly recommended, as they brighten the complexion and reduce dark spots. Explore top Vitamin C serums for radiant and youthful skin to enhance your glow and protect against environmental damage.

5. Moisturizing for Hydration

No skincare routine is complete without moisturizing. Even if you have oily skin, a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer is essential to keep your skin hydrated and healthy. For dry skin, consider best moisturizers to combat dullness that contain ingredients like ceramides and glycerin for deeper hydration.

6. SPF for Protection

Sunscreen is a non-negotiable step in every skincare routine. It protects your skin from harmful UV rays that cause premature aging and hyperpigmentation. Choose best broad-spectrum sunscreens for everyday wear with SPF 30 or higher to safeguard your skin from sun damage.

Conclusion

Consistency is key when it comes to skincare. By following a tailored routine and using the right products for your skin type, you can achieve clear, glowing skin that lasts. For more beauty tips and product recommendations, visit Glamgo.

astrology observations #25 (asc edition)

dark astrology observations #3

lilith observations

✧ aries- your skin could have issues like redness, acne, or even dryness. it could be harder to combat skin issues with skin care. although, i do see things clearing up faster for you, than others. your skin complexion could be seen as sexy, and i can see you being someone who tans or gets red easily.

✧ taurus- your skin can be seen as conventionally attractive. your skin can be slow to healing, and stubborn when it comes to trying to fix skin issues. i do see your skin being overall, easy to deal with and likely doesn’t flare up as easily as other risings. also, these individuals do tend to have moles or freckles ! i also notice they tend to have keloids, tumors, skin tags, etc and my belief is that it’s because taurus can represent gaining and abundance of things. so taurus = abundance, asc = skin, abundance of skin.

✧ gemini- your skin is likely tighter and smooth, which gives you a youthful look. i can see your skin possibly being oily (oily skin keeps wrinkles away) and also being easier to take care of. although, you can have skin that is a mix of both oily and dry. i do also notice that it’s polarized for those with this placement. some have more sensitive and acne prone skin that changes easily, while others have skin that rarely changes and adapts to environments and diets very well.

✧ cancer- you could have baby soft skin! i can see your skin being like your mothers, wether that’s complexion or blemishes. you could struggle with pimples or blackheads causes craters, and larger pores than others. your skin might be more sensitive to changes and i can see intense emotions causing break outs. i also see your skin changes with menstrual cycles as well.

✧ leo- your skin is naturally very glowy, especially if you take care of it. you could have skin like your dad, wether that’s your blemishes or complexion. i can see you being someone who takes in the sun very well. you also likely get compliments on your skin, even if it has blemishes and you feel confident in it regardless of what others think. i see your skin being naturally even and beautiful !

✧ virgo- similar to gemini, you likely have tighter skin. virgo risings have a more youthful appearance, making their skin also look youthful. your skin heavily reflects your diet and body’s health. bad health = bad skin, good health = good skin. also skin conditions caused by your immune system, which also deals with your hormones. so these can all play a role in your skin’s appearance. also it’s important you do take measures to keep a skin care routine!

✧ libra- these individuals also usually have skin issues where there is hair, that even includes shaving. your skin is also likely more sensitive than others. you may also have something about your skin that’s seen as beautiful, like a mole, freckles, etc ! even if you do have acne, people still admire your skin. your skin could also be more oily, since oiliness causes less wrinkles, making you look younger !

✧ scorpio- these individuals tend to have hyperpigmentation, and skin that changes quite a bit, especially with your hormones and emotions. i do also see these people having moles or freckles, that are more obvious than other skin. your skin could be seen as very sexy. to keep your skin clear, (if it’s not) you would need to have a ritualistic skin care routine and be consistent. i do notice these individuals do usually have some kind of skin blemish though, like black heads, intense acne, and so on.

✧ sagittarius- your skin can be quite hard to deal with, since sagittarius represents independence and rebelliousness. it can go through a lot of big changes i definitely see you also having markings like freckles, moles, beauty marks, or even cultural/ spiritual markings. (and your markings may be more noticeable or larger than others) your skin may be one of the first things people notice about you, and it could be very naturally glowy and lively looking.

✧ capricorn- you likely have skin issues that are harder to deal with than others, or more extreme cases of a skin condition. i do also see your skin can have issues for a long time and that it can be hard to get rid of blemishes. i see an intense and long skin care routine can help solve that, although it could take awhile. i do see that your skin’s appearance can be a money maker for you as well !

✧ aquarius- your skin could be unique compared to others, possibly in your country, family, or just unique in general. maybe you have a rare skin condition, or skin that stands out from others. your skin can go through drastic changes, like being a light complexion, then tanning to be much darker. or going from really clear skin to lots of acne. it can be stubborn when it comes to fixing your blemishes, but you need to create a skin care routine that is quite literally designed for your skin.

✧ pisces- your skin is very soft and youthful looking. it also tends have a more shiny appearance, and glows even when it’s dark. your skin may not have any blemishes, and tends to be very even all around. although i do see that it can be sensitive to changes and requires more moisturizer than other skins. your emotions can also cause changes to your skin.

elite athletes are NOT unhealthy oh my god

i hate those fucking cycle syncing workout things because it’s literally bullshit. the reason you don’t feel like working out harder on your period is because you’re not getting enough water and iron regularly and when you’re losing even more of that during shark week, you get fatigued. eat some spinach and drink some water and i promise you can do whatever you want with equal strength. and if it still feels shitty it’s because you’re cramping not because your estrogen levels are low. and the week after your period doesn’t turn you into a body builder overnight from the testosterone surge, you just have higher energy because you’re not actively bleeding out the small amount of iron you have anymore. again just spend the month doing what you’re supposed to be doing and suddenly the difference isn’t quite as stark. and if your cramps are so bad you can’t move around then you need to talk to a doctor, not resign yourself to yoga only workouts for half the month.

Nourish Your Beauty: The Ultimate Fall Vegetable Guide

As the seasons shift, so do our nutritional needs—and the vegetables that thrive in the cooler months are packed with vitamins and minerals perfect for keeping your skin glowing and your health strong. For the Feminine Woman, integrating seasonal produce into your diet not only nourishes your body but also radiates beauty from within. Here are the best fall veggies to stock up on and their incredible benefits for both your health and your skin.

1. Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, which your body converts into Vitamin A—a key nutrient for maintaining healthy skin. Vitamin A helps prevent dry skin, keeps it soft, and promotes a youthful appearance by encouraging cell turnover.

Beauty Benefits:

• Glowing Skin: Beta-carotene protects your skin from UV damage and gives it a natural, radiant glow.

• Anti-aging: The high antioxidant content fights free radicals, reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

• Hydration: The Vitamin C in sweet potatoes aids in collagen production, helping to keep skin plump and moisturized.

How to Use: Roast sweet potato slices with olive oil, rosemary, and a pinch of sea salt for a simple yet delicious side dish.

2. Kale

Kale, the queen of greens, is one of the most nutrient-dense vegetables you can add to your diet in fall. It’s loaded with Vitamins C, E, and K, which are crucial for skin health, elasticity, and wound healing.

Beauty Benefits:

• Cleanses Your Skin: Kale’s high fiber helps to detoxify the body, leading to clearer, more even-toned skin.

• Fight Acne: The Vitamin C in kale reduces inflammation, making it a perfect addition to combat blemishes.

• Skin Elasticity: Vitamin K helps with skin elasticity, reducing dark circles and puffiness under the eyes.

How to Use: Add kale to a smoothie for a nutrient boost or sauté it with garlic for a quick, nutrient-packed side.

3. Butternut Squash

Butternut squash is high in Vitamin E, beta-carotene, and potassium, which help your skin stay hydrated, soft, and smooth. It’s perfect for preventing signs of aging while keeping your skin firm.

Beauty Benefits:

• Hydrated Skin: Butternut squash helps retain moisture in your skin due to its rich potassium content.

• Even Skin Tone: Its Vitamin E helps even out your complexion and reduces hyperpigmentation.

• Firmness: The collagen-boosting properties of Vitamin C in this squash keep your skin looking firm and youthful.

How to Use: Roast butternut squash and blend it into a creamy soup or cube it for a hearty salad.

4. Brussels Sprouts

Brussels sprouts are often underrated but are a powerhouse when it comes to skin health. Rich in Vitamin C, Brussels sprouts promote collagen production, which helps maintain your skin’s firmness and elasticity.

Beauty Benefits:

• Brighter Skin: Vitamin C boosts your skin’s radiance, making it look brighter and more youthful.

• Collagen Boost: Collagen production is essential for skin structure and elasticity, reducing sagging and fine lines.

• Detox: Brussels sprouts help detoxify the skin, flushing out harmful toxins and leaving your complexion clear.

How to Use: Roast Brussels sprouts with balsamic vinegar for a tangy, crunchy side dish that’s perfect for fall.

5. Beets

Beets are known for their blood-purifying properties, which lead to clearer, healthier skin. They’re also loaded with antioxidants that prevent signs of premature aging.

Beauty Benefits:

• Glowing Skin: Beets help boost blood circulation, resulting in a natural flush and radiant complexion.

• Detox Power: The high iron content in beets helps detoxify the body, keeping skin clear and blemish-free.

• Anti-Inflammatory: Beets’ anti-inflammatory properties reduce puffiness and redness.

How to Use: Add roasted beets to salads or blend them into smoothies for a pop of vibrant color and nutrients.

Incorporating these seasonal veggies into your fall diet will not only boost your health but also enhance your beauty from the inside out. These nutrient-packed powerhouses will keep your skin hydrated, youthful, and glowing as the temperatures drop.

So, head to your local farmer’s market, stock up on these fall essentials, and let your natural beauty shine!

it takes two !

[ID: two coloured drawings. the first is of party poison sitting crouched; they look off to the side with a scowl and their body is peppered with scars and freckles. their hair is shoulder-length and shoddily dyed red, and they have a pair of green goggles pushed up onto their forehead. their tank top is pale green with the words "killer queen" printed on in a weird font. they are wearing denim cutoffs and thick-soled combat boots with purple laces.

the second drawing is kobra kid, looking slightly annoyed and wearing his trademark red racing jacket and tiger print shirt. he has an incomplete cleft lip, acne, and a choppy blond mullet in desperate need of rebleaching. his look is completed by snake bites and dice earrings which have rolled snake eyes. /end ID]

Noble scion of a royal house, honored with a mech befitting her title and name. Bought by the population of three satellites, living, fighting and dying on her land. In her name.

Given the honor of being appointed squadron leader of her own platoon straight out of officer’s school, a trim and fit crew of 6 dolls. Outfitted in the same crisp uniform, with candy-colored hair and eyelashes, flawless skin.

Outfitted in plain-but sturdy lightweight frames. Equipped with rifles and high frequency blades. Modular, so if a part breaks it can quickly be replaced. The pilots, dolls, are modular too. Ready to be replaced.

As they glide over ice wastes and thermal vents, albedo burns and blisters her skin, leaving petty pock-mark scars and post-teenage acne in their wake. Her dolls are free of it. She hates them for it.

She’s sorely disappointed on her first sortie, launching into the battlefield from orbit, lance in hand, gallantly bearing her family’s crest and colors. Her dolls land shortly after, and set to work slaughtering Liberationists indiscriminately. By the time she can level her weapon at a combatant, something else swoops in to tear it to pieces. She should be happy. She’s not.

Denied even the pleasure of beating servants into submission, her crew already completely servile. Obsequient, really. Nothing like serfs or conscripts or convicts, who beg and plead and threaten under a polished bootheel. She beats them anyways. It doesn’t help her satisfaction. They thank her for the privilege. She should be happy.

She’s proud when they start calling her “the Witch”, takes it as a mark of pride that these useless automata are finally learning their place, until another officer tells her it’s a term of endearment for dolls. Then she hears it everytime, like nails on a chalkboard. “my witch”. “my witch”. “my witch”. mine.

She’s quickly promoted. She should be happy. She isn’t. They offer to appoint more soldiers to her squadron. She should take it. She doesn’t.

She orders her dolls to stand down, uses the officer’s passphrase to force them into immobility.

They watch as she rushes into her first proper sortie, still green-at-heart. She doesn’t bother dodging long-range fire. She doesn’t bother using her Lance’s reinforced point. She doesn’t bother skewering the cockpit, sinking herself into something warm and hot and squidgy to the hilt. She doesn’t bother ending it quickly. She batters and wallops and spits. Family colors scraped down to raw hull, family crest cratered by shells beyond all recognition. She should be happy.

When there’s one last survivor, and she’s finished prying off all its limbs, she opens the cockpit like an oyster, and extracts the wriggling rebel. She carries it back to her squadron like a prize. She gets to keep this one, another of her dolls.

A complete guide to hand care for the porcelain dolls among us

While you certainly don't need ten steps involving harsh exfoliation, that weird red serum from the Ordinary or baking your hands in plastic gloves, taking care of your hands can be very rewarding, seeing as you essentially stare at them all day every day.

Let's clear some misinformation: you cannot make your fingers physically longer, no matter how many hand exercises you do. The length of your fingers is reliant on your genetics, and what kind of activities you did while your bones were still growing (Which is why pianists have such beautiful hands). You can, however, change the texture of your skin, correct hyperpigmentation and increase flexibility of and circulation in your hands.

Strategies

Before going to sleep, massage a hydrating moisturiser or lotion into your hands, and cover with cotton gloves. Alternatively, you could wait until the product is absorbed to go to bed.

Wear sunscreen: SPF 50 is best. Try to reapply after washing your hands, and every two hours if you're in the sun. UV rays cause 'photo-aging' (aka wrinkles, rough texture and moles) and can contribute to skin cancers. Use a non-comedogenic, mattifying sunscreen (As to not rub the product off when using your hands).

Keep nails trimmed, filed and at an appropriate length: If you play a string instrument, you know that long nails are a no-go. The same goes for gardening, volleyball, a job that involves typing, etc.

If your nails are stripy, this usually indicates a protein, vitamin A or zinc deficiency. Different people are more susceptible, but I recommend a well-rounded multivitamin supplement. (Or, better yet, improving your diet)

Ingredients to look for

Glycerin: a gentle and universally compatible humectant

Shea butter: a natural ingredient for deep hydration

vitamin E: an inflammatory antioxidant with natural sun protection

Ceramides: lipids naturally produced by the skin, which restore and maintain the skin barrier

Urea: combats roughness and dry texture through its keratolytic properties.

SPF: at lest 30, to prevent photo-aging and skin cancers

+ Cotton gloves: synthetic materials like polyester aren't very breathable and can cause irritation

What to avoid

Exposing your hands to cleaning chemicals: wear rubber gloves when cleaning the kitchen, washing the dishes or the car.

Alcohol-based hand sanitizers: extremely drying to the skin, and can cause roughness and cracking.

Fragranced soaps: fragrance in any beauty product is a bad idea, as it is drying and an acne, rosacea and eczema trigger.

Biting at your fingernails: not only does this make your nails look unsightly, it is also very unhygienic, as dirt and germs accumulate underneath them throughout the day.

Picking at cuticles: consider a fidget / sensory toy to keep your hands busy.

Extra: how to do a hand massage

Massages improve circulation and relax muscles that we use strenuously. Almost everyone uses their hands all day to do all sorts of tasks, so this is universal.

Apply an oil, lotion or Vaseline to reduce friction

Press your thumb into your palm, and move in circles around the centre.

Take each finger at a time and close a fist around it, pressing down and sliding upwards, like you're getting toothpaste out of a tube.

Press your one thumb onto the muscle of the other, on your palm, and move around that muscle to relieve tension.

Press the very tips of your fingers between your index finger and thumb.

Anyhow, that's all. Hope you've found at least one thing helpful!

Does Bruce do steroids? He must?? But then the side effects?

If this was real life, yes absolutely he'd be on steroids, HGH, Testosterone, everything else you could get your hands on legally (and illegally). There's no way to get through that much combat, muscle building, and cardio without something extra juicing you up.

But in canon/comics, no I don't think so. It's repeatedly mentioned that everything he has comes from sheer will and discipline. So he's probably in the 99th percentile for genetics when it comes to muscle and endurance, and then also in the 99th percentile for his maintenance routine and diet. Combined, it puts him as high up as a human physically can be without "cheating" aka using steroids or HGH.

I also agree that even if he did use steroids, it would be for very strategic bulk and cut cycles. Too much HGH, steroid and T use makes you puffy, makes your stomach swollen, and actually physically changes the shape of your face over time (see the Mannings or Leo). Steroids come with some wild side effects such as irritability, deep cystic acne, etc that would be a huge disadvantage to both his training routine, patrol, and his day job as Brucie Wayne.

So no. I think generally he will push as far as he can through genetic, discipline, and diet alone. And with his background, that can get him pretty damn far.

Take care of yourself

Hey loves, we all know that I am a huge self care advocate. I have been loving myself real bad and one way to do it was through AROMATHERAPY.

So today let’s talk about it.

I have been looking into different ways to relax myself. From crystal baths to bedtime yoga, I am all ears to try anything. I started to read more about the Chinese Self healing method and through my research on the matter, I found out about aromatherapy!

So what is aromatherapy?

It is basically a holistic practice that uses essential oils to improve your overall well being. It is something that can be use with other practices such as meditation or visualization.

Here are few ways to do/use it

Through a diffuser: it will disperse the essential oil in your space making it easy to inhale and practice some inhalation exercises.

Through topical use: putting essential oil into body oil for either your skincare or massages.

Through your bath: adding drops of essential oils into your bath creates an aroma therapeutic experience. This is a chef kiss experience trust me!

Through compress: you basically use warm or cold compress infused with essential oils to release pain or to relax.

Because i love you guys, here is a list of essential oils and their use:

Lavender: Calming, sleep aid, relieves anxiety.

Peppermint: Energizing, eases headaches, aids digestion.

Eucalyptus: Clears congestion, antimicrobial.

Tea Tree: Antiseptic, combats acne, supports immunity.

Chamomile: Reduces stress, promotes relaxation.

Lemon: Uplifting, cleansing, boosts focus.

But my personal favourite is vanilla, its warm scent uplifts your mood and has great comforting properties.

I hope you give aromatherapy a try and discover more way to love yourself! There is so many thing we can do to improve our selves and i just want to be the prettiest and healthiest version of myself and i can feel I’m aligning there.

On that note, let’s prepare for this week with a lot of peace in our heart!

The 13 Best Foods For Healthy Skin

Your skin is not only the body's largest organ but also a reflection of your overall health. Maintaining healthy and radiant skin requires more than just external skincare products; it begins with the nutrients you provide your body from the inside. A well-balanced diet rich in essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can do wonders for your skin. In this article, we'll explore the 13 best foods for achieving and maintaining healthy, glowing skin.

1. Salmon:

Salmon is a fatty fish that's high in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats help keep your skin moisturized and supple, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Omega-3s also have anti-inflammatory properties that can soothe skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis.

2. Avocado:

Avocados are packed with healthy fats, vitamins E and C, and antioxidants. These nutrients help keep your skin hydrated, protect it from UV damage, and promote collagen production, which is essential for skin elasticity.

3. Sweet Potatoes:

Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that can give your skin a healthy glow by protecting it from sun damage and preventing premature aging.

4. Berries:

Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are loaded with antioxidants, particularly vitamin C. Antioxidants help combat free radicals, reducing skin cell damage and promoting a more youthful appearance.

5. Walnuts:

Walnuts are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin E, which help maintain the skin's moisture and protect it from oxidative stress.

6. Spinach:

Spinach is rich in vitamin A, which is essential for skin health. It helps repair skin tissues, prevent acne, and maintain a healthy complexion.

7. Green Tea:

Green tea contains polyphenols and antioxidants that protect the skin from UV radiation and reduce the risk of skin cancer. Drinking green tea regularly can also help combat inflammation and keep your skin looking fresh.

8. Tomatoes:

Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, an antioxidant that can reduce the risk of sunburn and skin aging. It also promotes collagen production and skin elasticity.

9. Dark Chocolate:

High-quality dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) is rich in antioxidants, specifically flavonols, which can improve skin texture, hydration, and blood flow, giving your skin a healthy glow.

10. Almonds:

Almonds are rich in vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays and environmental damage.

11. Yogurt:

Yogurt is packed with probiotics, which can promote a healthy gut. A balanced gut microbiome can lead to clearer skin by reducing inflammation and preventing acne.

12. Carrots:

Carrots are another great source of beta-carotene, which can help reduce skin dryness and promote a more youthful appearance.

13. Oats:

Oats are a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber. They can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing the risk of acne and promoting clear skin.

While these foods can be a valuable addition to your diet for healthier skin, remember that no single food can work miracles. A well-rounded diet that includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods, along with proper hydration, is essential for achieving and maintaining radiant skin. Additionally, don't forget to protect your skin from excessive sun exposure, get enough sleep, and maintain a consistent skincare routine for the best results. Healthy, glowing skin is the result of both internal and external care, so make these foods a part of your daily routine and watch your skin thrive.

Seagull gently placed the bag of goodies she threw together last minute into Obsessions base from outside a window. “Knock knock.” She stated as her way of asking for permission to enter. She didn’t want to jump scare the other vigilante.

She came over as fast as possible once Obession said she could use support. She had gathered that sweets were generally useful to combat unpleasant emotions. Of course she hadn’t really asked the vigilante she patrolled with a few times about her preferred sweets, so she threw together a little bit of everything she had stored.

That led to the bag containing peanut m&ms, yorkies, Reese’s cups, Hersey kisses in milk dark and white chocolate, small lollipops in random flavors, sour patch kids, and small bags of gummy bears.

Why does a robot have so much candy? It’s very meltable and its liquid can burn in her engine (as almost anything can). Also she likes giving out candy to any kids she ends up protecting while on patrol..

Obsession heard the "knock knock" outside her office window and went to open it. She was still in her suit, but her helmet was on the desk. Which meant her face was visible. Curly blond hair, blue eyes, acne, and currently a redness around her eyes that showed she had been crying.

It wasn't often that she let people see her, Ashleigha, but Seagull had earned it.

"Thanks for coming" she said, as she let her friend in.
