I throw around terms like pimples, acne, blackheads, and milia pretty loosely, but there are distinctions between these various forms of bumps on your face. Since we already know all about acne and milia (those pestering deep white bumps), I thought I'd explain exactly what blackheads are so that you'll have a better understanding of your skin and the best products to use for your specific trouble areas.
Blackheads are comedones (clogged pores) that are blocked by excess oil and dead skin cells. The black color isn't because of dirt or makeup (a common misconception); rather it is from sebum that has been oxidized by the air. They are a type of acne vulgaris and typically appear in the T-zone. Blackheads are easily removable by extractions and by regular exfoliation.
Philosophy always likes to create fun beauty products. Some I like more than others, but I find that they make great gifts because there are so many themes to choose from. One of its latest launches is a group of three sugary, breakfast-inspired bath and body washes called Breakfast in Bed ($30). The products have the same 3-in-1 concept as the Shower For the Cure, which means that you can use them as a shampoo, a bubble bath, and a body wash.
Although I love to eat sugary treats like waffles, donuts, pain au chocolate (you name it), I'm definitely not as into food-scented beauty products as you are, so the Belgian Waffles and Fresh Cream flavors were unfortunately wasted on me. However, the Cafe Au Lait scent is TDF (to die for).
I love the rich lather, and the subtle coffee scent stays on your body even after you dry off. It's so good that I'm hoping Philosophy will come out with a follow-up moisturizer (hint hint). If nothing else, this wash is a fun way to indulge your sweets craving without actually packing on any pounds. Which flavor would you pick as your pre-breakfast beauty treat?
So far we've seen two beauty looks from Angelina Jolie at the Cannes Film Festival. The first was yesterday morning at the Kung Fu Panda photo call when she arrived wearing minimal makeup and her hair styled with one side half-up and half-down.
The second was last night at the Kung Fu Panda movie premiere. Her makeup was more defined and her hair was flowing long and loose. Both looks are beautiful on the glowing, growing star, yet I took a pregnant pause at the somewhat matronly, late '70s-inspired, one-sided style. Do you like this look on Angelina?
