The Zeno Mini: An Affordable Way to Banish Acne

Since I use makeup as wearable art, I like to fancy my skin as a canvas. Flawless skin is impossible to come by, so I try to make due with a highly calculated, medically advanced skincare regimen. However, once and awhile, there is always that stubborn pimple that magically appears at an inconvenient moment (be it a first date, or an important day at work).

That's when my Zeno comes to the rescue as a zit zapping miracle! The older models of the Zeno range around $160, which sounds steep during a recession, but at $89 the Zeno Mini is the perfect price for budget fashionistas.

This lightweight, handheld beauty device is clinically proven to make 90 percent of blemishes disappear within a 24 hour time period. FDA approved, it treats a single zit by using ClearPoint technology that uses heat to target the bacteria. Most blemishes can be treated within two to three treatments, but it is best to target the zit at an early stage using one treatment. The device is safe to use and requires no extra cleaning.

Unlike the older models of the Zeno, the Zeno Mini runs on two AAA Batteries, and the tip should be replaced after 45 uses.

My favorite part? It's portable! I've always been a girl-on-the-go and now I don't leave home without my Zeno Mini!

Clear Skin Made Easy With Clinique

My search for an easy skincare regimen for beautiful skin is over. Thanks to Clinique's three step acne solutions system, skincare has become affordable, effective and most of all simple. The system is composed of three products which you use three times a day that are gentle yet very effective. You will see an improvement within a few days. Here's how it works:

Step 1: Cleanse with the cleansing foam. The cleansing foam is so gentle but lathers up so well leaving your skin feeling clean but not raw. It's similar to the purity foam by philosophy.


Step 2: Tone with the clarifying lotion. You'll need to shake the bottle vigorously to dissolve the sediments into the solvent. You apply the clarifying lotion using a cotton ball and it removes all excess dirt and oil that the cleanser didn't pick up leaving no chance for bacteria to attack your skin all day or night. It also improves your skin tone and exfoliates dead skin from the surface allowing the next step, the clearing moisturizer to work its magic more effectively.

Step 3: Moisturize with the clearing moisturizer. I adore how hydrating this moisturizer is. It soothes your skin and leaves your skin fresh.


This regimen is to be followed two times a day. This system is perfect for males and females with all types of skin types, and I recommend it even if you do not suffer from acne. It's best to prevent it before it happens. You never know when your skin will breakout so it's best to be prepared. If you don't suffer from acne and use this system rest assured your skin will be soft, clear and beautiful. Remember no matter how great your skin is it's important to remove a days worth of makeup and pollution, exfoliate dead skin and also to moisturize, everything this system includes. On the other hand no matter how bad your skin is there is hope and it can be repaired. This system is a great start. Get it here.
