It always make me crave strawberry cheesecake with a dash of cough syrup. Yum! For my dry/oily/combination skin, clay masks are great because they absorb oils from the t-zone area.

I’ve seen so many recommendations of baby products for the face, and so I decided to try Aveeno Baby Wash. Baby products generally have a higher pH, so at first I was a bit reluctant as higher pH products means it […]
