Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Scrub

Still on the hunt for a facial scrub.. got this a few weeks ago when I had a mini break out on my chin area and forehead.


Tried the Biore face wash and it didn't help so then I bought the Clean & Clear advantage daily soothing acne scrub. Since it said acne treatment I thought it would be perfect for my little breakouts that I felt would not go away. I also liked that it was oil-free since I have oily skin

This scrub is made with aloe and avocado and smells delicious. I really am not a big fan of face scrubs that smell like harsh chemicals so this is perfect for me!!


This scrub doesn't have any exfoliant beads in it so it won't help your black heads (wish it did bc my nose could def use it). It also is not too greasy. I used it for about a week and found that it in fact did not help my acne. My nasty breakout stayed and it did not minimize it what so ever. Finally I got tired of my face and went back to the Neutrogena cleanser I used before I moved back to California and within a week my face cleared. It sucks bc its supposed to be an acne cleaner and yet it did not clear my acne. Sad! Guess I am on to the next facial cleanser.

Price- ~$6
Where to find- Drug stores- CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Target, Walmart

I am busy busy busy with school so little things like beauty subscriptions make me so happy bc I get to feel like a normal human being for like 5 minutes. Never thought being a physician assistant student would be so hard but it really is all they say it is. I feel like I have no time in the day for anything. But back to me what I am writing about...this month's theme is Glamour academy.

Barielle Treatment Creams

I am the worst person at putting cream on my hands and feet before I leave in the mornings! So of course along with washing my hands all the time working in health care my hands have gotten very dry. My feet especially the heels are even worse! Barielle recently sent over their protective hand cream and feet care cream and I was really excited because I heard a lot of other bloggers tell me how amazing they are!

Price $8 2.5 oz or $15 for 6oz

The first cream I tried was the hand cream. It is not too greasy and doesn't have a strong yucky smell! It moisturizes very well and leaves my hands feeling nice and soft especially my knuckles which I noticed are always ashy or at least were always ashy and of course!! 

Price $12 for 2.5 oz

The foot cream kind of reminds me of baby lotion smell wise but it is pretty thick. My heels especially have been chapped very bad so I try and put this on when I remember but for sure every time I put on sandals. Def give enough time for your lotion to absorb or you will foot will slip around in your shoes lol! This foot care cream is very moisturizing and I have def noticed my chapped heels are getting MUCH better than they originally were. So if you love wearing sandals and want your feet to look soft and beautiful def give this cream a try!

Overall I love both of these and would recommend them to anyone looking to moisturize their hands or feet!!

Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub

When I went to get a facial last month I was told I had lots of clogged pores on my nose and I needed to start using an exfoliator to keep them clean after she unclogged every single one on my nose she could lol! So I was on the hunt to find a good drug store one. 

I decided to try a Biore one first

The Biore Pore unclogging scrub is to supposed to clear and exfoliate the skin 

The first thing I noticed when looking at this is there is not a lot of exfoliating beads in it. I was assuming it should have a bunch of them in the scrub so I could get every little pore on my nose. When I dabbed some on my nose I only got a few there and felt like it really didn't scrub good! Like I have tried some where you could feel the beads cleaning deep down but I didn't with these. I also recently started breaking out bc of stress and so I was hoping it would help get rid of those nasty little pimples but it actually didn't even begin to clear them. 

Overall, wasn't impressed didn't feel like it cleaned well and def didn't help my little acne spots.

Price- $5-$6

Where to find- Any drug stores such as CVS, Walgreens, Target, Walmart, etc
