Acupressure Points for Pimples and Acne -- Guest Blog by Yasko

Here's a great post by Yasko of Bliss Squared Massage on how to prevent pimples and acne through Acupressure.

First, locate your acupressure points:
  • ST 2 – The first ones are under the eyes. When you look straight in front of you they are under the pupils of your eyes right on the cheek bone. About a finger width from the eye socket. These are called Stomach 2. Gently press these points perpendicular to the cheek bone.
  • ST 3 – The next set of point are about an inch below those points. These are called Stomach 3. It’s on the edge of the cheek bone. Press them gently slightly upward into the cheek bone. They are still under the pupils of your eyes. These are good for improving the circulation and metabolism on your face and clearing the blemishes and acnes.
  • GB 12 – The third set of points are behind the ears. Behind the earlobe there is a bone. This is called mastoid process. There’s a depression behind it. This is called Gall Bladder 12. This point is good for regulating the excess oil production which can be the cause of the pimples and acnes. I like to press this point by resting the elbow on the armrest and just lean into it one side at a time.
Then, press these points as you breathe deeply for one minute as you watch other YouTube videos. Also good for pimples are the acupressure points for constipation because they help eliminate the waste out of your system. You can learn those points here: Acupressure Points for Constipation.

Manomai: Skin Care Based on Your Blood Type

Image
Did you know it only takes 26 seconds for your blood stream to absorb what you apply topically?  That is why it is important to think about what ingredients are in your skin care and other beauty products you apply topically.  I came across Manomai  when I first started beauty blogging, and truly became fascinated with their approach to skin care. I reached out to them, and they kindly agreed to send me a press sample to review for you guys.  Manomai's founder is a believer in Dr. Peter D'Adamo 's Blood-type Diet, which basically c onsists of eating the right foods for your blood type, in turn making you healthier and lose weight. She wanted a moisturizer that aligned with her beliefs in the Blood Type Diet, but also met her strict guidelines:  pareben-free,   mineral oil-free,  fragrance free,  cruelty-free, and  artificial color free. So, she developed 4 moisturizers with 4 special blends to uniquely match each of the  blood types  -- the Around-the-Clock

Differin Gel: What I Wish My Dermatologist Would Have Told Me...

Image
When my dermatologist prescribed Differin gel aka Adapalene, I thought, “Awesome! I’ll just put this on my face, and ‘Voila’  -- I would be acne free.” I was incredibly wrong! After two nights of applying Adapalene on my face, I began to break-out with cystic acne, my skin became super sensitive,  burned when I splashed my face with water, and the skin on my face began to peel. After experiencing these negative side effects, I did some research on the manufacturer’s website, WebMD, Google, Instagram, Youtube, etc. So, I want to share with you what I learned… How does Differin Gel/Adapalene work? Differin gel/adapalene is a type of synthetic retinoid. It is one of the mildest forms available. Retinoids help your skin slough off (or  desquamate ) dead skin cells at a more normal rate. Sloughing aka exfoliating your dead skin cells is beneficial in that the dead skin cells don't bind together and clog your pores. When your pores aka oil ducts are clogged, you get acne!

My Current Skincare Routine

Image
My skin has been terrible, and when I get breakouts, they are scarring, painful cystic acne blowouts that I would get on my chin and on the sides of my nose. They generally occur with my monthly period, or just after. I am not one to pick them because when I did the scarring would be even worse. I was courageous enough to let my cystic acne take its course, but it made me never want to leave the house. If you have read my Adapalene post from a year ago, you will know that my first dermatologist prescribed me that one cream, gave me zero directions, and sent me on my way. Not surprising my face never cleared up. Instead, I still had acne, my skin got flaky, peely, dry, irritated, and just plain terrible. I really resent my first dermatologist for doing that to me. So, I stopped using Adapalene, and began trying a bunch of over-the-counter acne treatments, from Paula's Choice to natural, organic brands with salicylic acid and tea tree oils, and the whole gamb
